A multitude of problems. It seems that only one person could
be in the session at a time. Second person could connect;
but, was almost immediately disconnected. Tried reporting
issue to FSF.ORG; but, couldn't even get connected to their
forum. I have a valid FSF account; but, connection rejected.
Fought issues since 6:00pm CST. Tried every combination of
alternatives that I could think of, short of going to old
MEET.JIT.SI server. I did that just now, got in; but, by now
most everyone else may have given up. So, I don't think it
worthwhile to do any alternative site.
I am not doing anything further as it has been more than
two hours since I started and an hour and a half past regular
NEWLINUX meeting start time.

__25_June_2024__
6:30 ~ 9:00 PM (Central Daylight Time, USA)
**We will open the remote session by about 6:00 PM CDT**
**Join early to test your microphone, screen and video sharing**
**** Microphone Or Webcam Are Not Required To Join ****
This session will use the following link:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NOTE THE ABOVE SPECIAL JITSI LOCATION CHANGE!
Use CamelCase format with no spaces ( do NOT separate words ).
This is a Linux Users Group for the new beginner level Linux user.
One-on-one help available for anyone curious about or new to Linux.
You are invited to attend this next ONLINE session, in lieu of any
regular physical face-to-face meeting. Further instructions below.
* ONLINE Sessions
* NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS until further notice.
* ONLINE session will use JITSI remote video service 25 June 2024.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
You do not have to have a microphone and webcamera to participate. You
can just chat, listen and watch using a Chrome based browser.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
RECOMMENDED CLIENT USE:
Instead of using a browser, it has been recommended to use the official
Jitsi appimage clients. Reportedly using the client consistently has
better results, with fewer connectivity, sound or video issues.
Appimage MS Windows, macOS and Linux client releases...
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/
Mobile app clients for Apple or Android...
https://jitsi.org/downloads
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
JOINING THIS ONLINE SESSION:
6:00pm Begin testing of controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking.
During the next half hour period, others may be able to help you.
Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset may result in a feedback
loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at-least earbuds is highly
recommended. Using Ethernet is better than WiFi connectivity.
If you do not make the effort and take the time to get your connection
working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Try dropping your
connection and rejoin. That sometimes fixes issues. But, do so slowly,
as granting access to your microphone and camera too quickly is the
current main problem. Also, there are often sound settings in different
browsers that may need to be changed.
======================================================================
WHEN YOU ENTER THIS ONLINE SESSION:
Do NOT remain showing as Fellow Jitster. Set your identity to show
first name and last name. We do prefer that you use your full last
name. Instead of full last name you could just follow first name with
an initial.
Going into the chat room may allow you to set your name there. Or, at
three vertical dots (more actions) in lower right hand corner, select
Settings, then under Profile "Set your display name" (you can ignore
the "Set your gravatar email block").
Meeting only recorded for attendance tracking and quality control.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
START OF MEETING:
6:30pm The meeting starts. You should have tested sound and video.
Assistance with controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking ends.
Anybody joining after 6:30pm that experiences issues with controls,
hearing, screen sharing or speaking should only use chat room to ask
questions or make comments.
Annoying disruptions may cause you to be kicked off the session.
You might be muted on entry, so join early if you want to test your
camera or microphone. Use letter V on keyboard to toggle your camera.
Use letter M on keyboard to toggle (mute or unmute) your audio. Full
list of short cuts available with the ? key.
All might be muted at this point. You may have to unmute yourself
in order to speak. You can ask questions and make comments in chat room.
You do not need a camera, nor microphone to just watch and listen with
using your browser.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
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.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
TOPICS:
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user at the meeting may select general and specific topics.
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 our knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving, techniques and troubleshooting.
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. However, it has many benefits.
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.
