The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting:
Monday
December 21, 2015
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Presentation:
Amateur Radio (ham radio) with Linux - Roundtable
presented by Brian Lavender, Tony Cratz, Eric Engelhard, and Tim Thatcher
Amateur radio (also called ham radio) describes the use of radio
frequency spectra for purposes of non-commercial exchange of messages,
wireless experimentation, self-training, private recreation and
emergency communication. The term "amateur" is used to specify "a
duly authorised person interested in radioelectric practice with a
purely personal aim and without pecuniary interest;" (either direct
monetary or other similar reward) and to differentiate it from
commercial broadcasting, public safety (such as police and fire),
or professional two-way radio services (such as maritime, aviation,
taxis, etc.). (Source: Wikipedia.)
This roundtable presentation will cover various aspects of ham radio,
including licensing, ham related groups (e.g., Mt. Vaca Radio Club -
Yolo Amateur Radio Society) and activities, and of course, how to use
Linux with radio gear. Numerous open source tools and applications, as
well as dedicated Linux distros, exist for such purposes as logging,
browsing programming schedules, receiving and plotting Automatic
Packet Reporting System (APRS) position packets, spectral analysis,
repeater control, satellite tracking, and of course controlling a
ham radio. There are even apps for practicing and preparing for a
license exam.
It will also touch on other Linux-based software-defined-radio
hardware and software solutions, atmospheric radio propagation,
and solar/geomagnetic weather, and will include a introduction
to fldigi, wsjt-x and what it does and the JT modes it supports,
and predict/gpredict orbital tracking software and a little about
working satellites.
This meeting will be held at:
Yolo County Public Library, Mary L Stephens Davis Branch
Blanchard community meeting room
315 E. 14th Street
Davis, CA 95616

Hi all!
I am trying to compile SiS driver for my video card:
lspci output:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

I am using Ubuntu 14.04, I followed this URL:
