IIAA Christmas Gig

In 2012 a few staff at the International Institute for Accelerator Applications, namely Anna Kolano, Prof. Sue Kilcoyne and Prof. Bob Cywinski decided to hold a small 'gig' (for want of a better word) in the Physics Library at the University of Huddersfield. At the time the IIAA consisted of around 9 staff and 6 students.

To continue the tradition, another gig was organised in 2013. This time catering for a larger group (around 22). Once again Anna, Bob and Sue performed, this time joined by Adam, Aimee Hopper and David Bruton.

The evening began with Bob & Adam performing 

A brief visit from Neil Diamond is always welcome.

Anna performs with Bob.

Bob likes to be the centre of attention.

Fedora 22: Configuring proxy settings for DNF (Yums replacement)

Having recently upgrading to Fedora 22, I tried to run yum to update my packages.

   [HR@M11x ~]$sudo yum update
    Yum command has been deprecated...

So the new package handling tool is DNF (Dandified Yum), which has the command

   [HR@M11x ~]$dnf

On the University of Huddersfield network I have to configure the proxy, which used to be done by editing yum.conf:

   [HR@M11x ~]$sudo gedit /etc/profile.d/yum.conf

and adding the line:

   proxy=http://wwwproxy.hud.ac.uk:3128

This works for yum, but now it has to be done for DNF:

   [HR@M11x ~]$sudo gedit /etc/profile.d/dnf/dnf.conf


fortunately the syntax is the same:

   proxy=http://wwwproxy.hud.ac.uk:3128
  
And now DNF should work.
