18:00 -- 21:00 NEWLUG ~ Newcomer Linux Users Group
https://newlug.sluug.org/
A Linux Users Group for the newcomer.
St. Louis County Library ~ Prairie Commons Branch
915 Utz Lane,
Hazelwood MO 63042-2739
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
One on one help for anyone curious about or new to Linux. All
meetings are free and open to the public.
TOPICS?
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user in the room may select the topic.
We won't pick just one ahead of time. We will accept suggestions and
requests, as the course of the meeting will be entirely up to those
that attend. Join us to share the knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving and effective techniques.
We can mostly explore the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI),
as it is easy to use, often familiar, and friendly to use. We will NOT
focus on the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is seldom required and
generally optional for day to day use.
We have access to many formal slide show presentations; but, we use
them only to present information and encourage discussion. We encourage
and prefer lively interaction and user questions. We always want user
questions to be asked. We never think that any question is too dumb.
A selected topic will NOT restrict the course of our meetings. These
topics are tentative. They are only suggestions.
Order of Events:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call For Help during our Questions and Answers period.
Sometimes we will watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
Users that bring their laptops (or even desktops) often connect to the
Internet for application installation and bookmarking of interesting web
sites. Early arrival may provide enough time to assist installation,
configuration and demonstration of Linux on hardware. Come early,
come often!

TOPIC Network Packet Capture and Analysis with Wireshark
by Ken Johnson
Problem Solving Via Network Packet Capture and Analysis
A brief touch on the history of the tools available, followed by
practical discussion of packet capture techniques, and a look at the
use of Wireshark for analysis of captured packets.
Ken works as an independent consultant performing system and small network
administration, and writing specialized technical documentation. He has
used network packet capture and analysis for problem-solving since 1979.

In a message From: WINFRED BOWMAN Dated: 7/11/19, 4:23 PM
Hi. I used to receive a big list of club meetings - of which I could
plan a whole month, well ahead of time. But I don't anymore. Is there
a way I can get back on that mailing list?
(2 hours ago, I agreed to go to the MUNY (ugh) with my wife and see THAT
show, so I am otherwise committed. But I like the LINUX and technology
meetings when I am in town(which lately is about half the time).
Best Regards, Winfred Bowman

Winfred Bowman and others
A weekly summary used to be compiled from our monthly calendar and sent
to this list. A lot of work for one volunteer that got tired of doing it,
and had way too many other things to do for this organization. No other
has stepped forward to take up the slack.
A working solution for you would be for you to incorporate our calendar
as described at the bottom of our calendar page into your own system.

18:00 -- 21:00 SLACC ~ St. Louis Area Computer Club
https://slacc.sluug.org/
Linux Configuration Workshop
St. Louis County Library, Thornhill Branch,
12863 Willowyck Drive,
St. Louis, MO 63146
The Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest, longest enduring, continuously meeting personal
computer organization active in Greater St. Louis Metro Area.
We often hold a Linux Configuration Workshop when nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no
other event or activity scheduled.
Linux is an Internet capable Networking Operating System that provides many fully functional applications that
perform well on both older and new computers. Most Linux distributions are free or low cost and provides an
extremely reliable and cost effective alternative to high priced proprietary software.
The workshop is where we usually examine, fix, repair, and troubleshoot, difficult hardware and software
configuration problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and hardware are also
frequently fixed. We have full connectivity to the Internet on site and know how to use it.
Bring your laptop or desktop PC to our hands on workshop to troubleshoot your Linux installation, network
connection or X Window GUI configuration problem. Just remember to bring your laptop and power strip or your
desktop PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, cords, power strips and two discs or a flash thumb drive.
For newcomers, we can evaluate your hardware and current Operating System setup. If we determine there is
sufficient time, we can perform a complete functioning Linux installation.

THIS WEEK…
ACTUALLY…WEDNESDAY nite:
The monthly SLUUG general mtng at Graybar! This month featuring:
-------------------------------
BASE BSD's Kinky Boots process by Brian Bilgere
This will be a quick introduction and comparison of Unix/Linux boots.
Well, something called Kinky Boots. No, not the musical play at The Muny but rather a look at BSD's booting process vs Linux's GRUB2 boot process.
MAIN Managing system backups with GIT by Lee Lammert
Many folks don't use git to manage systems because git is thought to be complicated, ...this presentation will refute that theory and show how simple it actually is to backup your system configuration (and anything else) with git!
Information from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git>
SLUUG is your forum for exchanging information about OPEN standards, OPEN systems, OPEN source, products, services and architectures.
We usually start the general meeting with a basic session, which may include either simple tutorials, displays of newly discovered web sites, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, amazing graphical packages, major resolution of long standing anomalies, blinking lights, or quantum shifts in both time and space. Then we will have our usually quick welcome, introduction, administrative announcements, and a Call For Help - Questions and Answers Period. After all that, we take a break before our main event.
Meetings are every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6:30PM to 9:00PM.
The base/tutorial session is at 6:30. There are announcements and a general Q&A about anything at ~7pm. A short break to socialize & stretch and then the Main talk at ~ 7:30pm
VENUE Graybar Electric Co., Inc.
11885 Lackland Road, Maryland Heights, MO 63146
