Re: Multiple of us here already, have space, AC Power & Internet*: Re: BerkeleyLUG meetup this Sunday 2019-08-25 at Cafe Blue Door



Nice meeting today.  

Hope people don't mind a little summary:  

My friend Tom brought in a Dell 5570 with Windows on a 
spinner hard drive.  He added an NVME ssd in an M.2 socket 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2

We installed Ubuntu.  Funny thing was the Ubuntu Installer didn't see the 
nvme drive when we selected "install along side Windows"  But you do see it 
if you chose "Do something else" or advanced from alongside Windows option.  

Also Bob had a Pi Zero with a full size USB A port, that he configured in 
"Gadget mode"  The Pi Zero is set up to act as a USB device to a host 
computer.  In this case Bob configured it to be a USB to Ethernet adapter.  
Process involves setting config.txt to load the dwc2 and g_ether modules on boot.  
Thern when you plug the Pi Zero to your laptop the Zero boots for a minute and 
you see an ethernet device in dmesg.  
Thanks to Michael explaining how to set up static IP and we were able to 
ssh to the Pi from usb.  

Reminder: Next Sunday (Labor Day weekend) is the 1st and there will 
be a Pi Day at Blue Door noon til 3.  
I am thinking of exploring the Gadget mode on the PI.  There are some other 
modes besides the ethernet one like USB HID (like the Rubber Ducky:  
https://shop.hak5.org/products/usb-rubber-ducky-deluxe ) or USB flash drive.  
The Pi A is supposed to be able to do this too.  Pi zero has OTG 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go which would make it switch to 
Gadget mode when a special USB cable is inserted.
