<html><body><h1>Alerting with Remind</h1>
|
||||
|

<p>Back in my <a href="http://www.duckland.org/archives/2008/08/05/so-you-need-a-calendar/">article on Remind</a>, I talked about the simple power of remind to power your scheduling needs. That is all fine and good, but how to you get it to tell you when you have an event?</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>In its simplest form, when you run _remind _ from the command line, it will not only display the current day’s reminders, but it will run in the background and wake up to tell you about other reminders on the screen while you work.</p>
|

|
||||
<p>This is fine, but what happens if you do not have that termial open in front of you? Well, I have two ways I approach that issue.</p>

<p><a href="http://cmus.sf.net/">C*mus</a> is an advanced music juke-box for *inx and Window operating systems. It can handle the modern audio file formats: FLAC, Ogg/Vorbis, MP3 , Wav, AAC , MP4, .mod, .s3m, .mpc, mpp, .mp+, .wma, and .wv . It also can deal with many different types of audio output systems: ALSA, libao, ARTS, OSS, Sun, and WaveOut on Windows. The typical features of an electronic juke-box are supported like play lists and random/shuffle play, in addition to easily switching between playing from the library, an artist, or a single album with a simple keystroke.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>C*Mus is pretty painless to install from source. The website lists the build dependencies with links. There is no RPM .SPEC file on the web site, but you can use this <a href="http://www.duckland.org/files/cmus.spec">one</a>.</p>

<p>Now, on the service this has a lot of advantages. A lot of work has gone into it, and it just works for a vast majority of the installations out there. They have made it so the move from wired to wireless and back can be done without the user doing anything. They have also seamlessly tied in Dial-Up Networking if you still need a modem or use a wireless modem. They even have two-click access to your VPN which is pretty cool.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>All these are things which are very good for Linux users. The biggest drawback to all this? The need for a user-space program to manage the non-hardwired connections. Which means that in order to be able to have any network running besides the good old twisted-pair copper, you have to have a little applet running as you, and it has to have a systray somewhere to display. Which means you have to be a) logged into the system and b) you have to be running a window manager which supports having a system tray. Now, Fedora gives you lots of choices for the second part now days. You have <a href="http://www.gnome.org">Gnome</a>, <a href="http://www.kde.org">KDE</a>, <a href="http://www.xfce.org">XFCE</a>, and <a href="http://lxde.sf.net">LXDE</a>. All are perfectly usable window managers. But, they still require you to be logged in to X. And, <a href="http://www.duckland.org/archives/2006/07/31/window-managers/">I do not use any of them</a>.</p>

<p>So, what is a cli-loving Fedora user to do? Well, there is this great program called <a href="http://www.tummy.com/Community/software/wifiroamd/">wifiroamd</a>. It will handle the same basic tasks that NetworkManager handles. It will automatically configure your wifi interface and connect to the wifi networks or the locate hardwired NIC if it cannot. You can configure it to run scripts per connection, so for example, you can change your firewall rules for different networks (shields down at home or the office, but up full at the coffee house), or you could bring up your VPN connection when you start using a given wireless network.</p>

<p>I have been using this set up under Fedora since FC6 days, but when I upgraded to F10, this stopped working. wifiroamd would try to scan for an AP, and not find anything. The change, it turns out, is that when I switched from using the iw3945 driver to the native iwl3945, wifiroamd could no longer see the wireless NIC due to the wpa_supplicant process, but NetworkManager could. Simply stopping and disabling wp_supplicant and NetworkManager, and wifiroamd started working again! I am a happy camper again.</p></body></html>

<p>Well, a while back I switched to <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</a> for my OS of choice. As you may know, the fine folks at Ubuntu switch the default window manager to something called <strong>Unity</strong>, which cause a stir. I tried it for a while, but decided that it was too heavy, and to mouse-centric.</p>

So, I had a bit of time over the weekend, and spent it doing a bit of hacking around.
|
||||
|
||||
I had re-installed [PC-BSD](http://www.pcbsd.org) on my HP EliteBook R810. I used 10.0.2, and everything but the wireless looked good. I decided to try to get the wireless working with the internal WNIC. [Previously](link://slug/freebsd-challenge-day-17), I used an external dongle to get WiFi working, but it was a pain to remember to pull it out, so I decided to try again.
|
||||
|
||||
I updated the base OS to 10-CURRENT, and then 'patched' the source tree using the info I found [in this forum post](https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=35467). Once I rebooted, and used the PC-BSD tools to enable the device, things worked! Since this was only last night, I need to test it a bit to make sure it stands up to load.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a [PR](https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169433), and support **has** been added to HEAD. I am going try to write a patch to get this added before then. I will need to see if I can figure out how to do that. :)
|
||||
|
||||
Since my work laptop uses the same WNIC, I am one step closer to being able to install it on the work machine.
|
||||
|
||||
I am going to see about trying to use **dragon** as my non-work daily driver and shake out what I need to do, so I may be restarting the [30 Day Challenge](link://tag/30DayChallenge) again, but a lot of that depends on how work goes.

Today, I got word from the `PCBSD Project <http://www.pcbsd.org>`_ that a patch which I submitted to fix the `issue with the WiFi NIC <http://www.duckland.org/posts/201407freebsd-switch.html>`_. Well, I got notice today that `PCBSD Bug #7330 <https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/7330>`_ has been resolved, and I tested on the R810. It works!
