Remote adminstration
by cmoman
Hello all,
Is there a tool in ubuntu that a user can start that reports the real world ip
address and configures a home router to open a port to allow remote
administration?
I have a friend or two for whom it would nice to get them to start a program,
report to me the details via MSN or Skype or telephone etc and allow me to
log in and fix or make a configuration change to their machine. I know how
to set things up using ssh etc but that relies on some initial configuration
at the their end. KDE has a nice VNC invite function but it won't do the
router config part.
It appears the likes of KTorrent and Azuereus have the ability to do some to
the router via UPnP to open ports up on the router dynamically so I am
guessing all this is possible.

Newbee near the university with vanishing XP cursor needs help
by Robert D Davidson
Hi Wlug,
A computer newbee with XP who lives in Hillcrest and runs a property development business needs computer help. From an initial consultation with him, at my local cafe in Morrinsville, he seems like a canditate of a simple port to Lynix on his existing hardware. He is prepared to format his hardrive to solve his problems.
Anyone interested please contact me for his details. I haven't discussed costs with him but I guess this would be a paying job at his expense as he wants a speedy response.
Cheers

Sorry for the short notice, but I didn't realise I hadn't put this on

The WLUG annual BBQ and get together will be on Saturday at Te Whanau
Putahi (at the end of Oxford St), along with the regular Saturday
Workshop.
workshop is 10am-4pm, BBQ will be somewhere around 12-1pm.
This will be the last meeting for the year, and a good time to renew
your membership for next year!
Hope to see you there..

AJAX and jQuery help please?
by James Pluck
Hi all!
Is there anyone out there who is adept with jQuery, javascript and
AJAX? I have an ajax call in the application that I am working on
that is the root of a Heisenbug that is causing me some grief!
I have pruned the call to the collowing code:
<code>
function addPublication ( pubID, pubName, pubCategories ){
alert ( "in addPublication" );
var xhr = $.ajax ({
url: "/publisher/ajax/addpub.php",
type: "POST",
data: ({
id: pubID,
name: pubName,
"categories[]": pubCategories
}),
success: function(){
alert ( "We're Back from addpublication" );
}
});
alert ( "*" + xhr.responseText + "*" );
};
</code>
The post that is generated from this is correct and if I manually send
that post data to the php script I get the expected results (at the
moment all the script does is generate an empty page with a "print_r"
of the post data. However, the ajax call randomly returns correctly
or returns with "error - undefined error." Firebug is distressingly
unhelpful in that all it does is show the url in red in the console
and no errors or anything!
I have found on occasion that erasing the url and retyping it exactly
will cause the bug to disappear but any editting of the js file after
that will cause the bug to return.
The ironic thing is that when I have the full function of the php
script activated it actually does the task that it is supposed to do
correctly - except that I have to refresh the page to see the result
instead of the ajax refreshing the page properly.
Argh!
can anyone shed some light?
