[Announce] LUG Mailing list search engine
by Philip S Tellis 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

Ok, no one's really asked for it, but there have been complaints that suggested it was needed, and lets face it, we've all wished that the archives had a search engine. It's even on the wishlist of mailman 3.0. Well, we at Ilug-bom have beaten the mailman team. We've integrated mailman with a search engine called namazu (http://www.namazu.org/). This version of namazu - specially customised for our mailing list by yours truly - is available at http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/linuxers/ Have a look, search for your favourite stuff, don't overload the server, and give feedback. I've still got to implement a few features to provide better, more effective searches. I already know how to do this, just need some time.

linux tech for india
by Apu Shah 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

dear linuxers, there have been several writeups, discussions, conferences, seminars etc. etc. about how linux is the os for india. yes, this is true due to the various factors that favor linux over other os and give linux a compelling argument. let's leave aside economic, social and political issues in support of linux for india. the question i would like to pose to the group is what *technical* innovations do know of that are propelling the cause of linux for india. the biggest one is of course, localization. there are efforts ongoing in this area which i know of namely ncst, iitm and indlinux. some other examples that i can think of are - simputer, dhvani (the text to speech engine for indian languages) - simputer, tapatap (the pen based computing libraries) - ncst/iitm's work on localization of linux - work on universal networking language and language independent forms. for research purposes i am trying to compile a list of all such initiative that are going on in the linux world specifically to help india. i know that there must be several localized software development projects, font development projects, e-governance projects etc. etc. that are specific to india. if you have any references of such companies/projects/work i would appreciate it if you could send a link/email address. actually even technical work done to further the cause of linux in "developing nations" would be interesting. thanks much. apu shah, research associate, media labs asia

KDE 2.2.2 and linux patch 2.4.16-pre1
by Ravindra Jaju 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

Hi all. KDE 2.2.2 sources, and RH-7.2 RPMs are on db.ilug-bom.org.in The resources have been moved to proper sub-directories. Also, note that you should not use the 2.4.15 release of the kernel, as it has a file-system corruption bug. In case you are planning to use the latest one, try 2.4.16-pre1. It's also uploaded on db.ilug-bom. regards, jaju

reading word files through your email client
by Philip S Tellis 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

It seems that this mail never made it through the first time, so I am resending it. I've written a small script that can be run through your mailcap file. It uses wvWare and lynx/netscape to view word files through your mail program (pine, mutt, netscape, anything that uses mailcap). The script is at http://db.ilug-bom.org.in/lug-authors/philip/bin/ and a mirror on my downloads page (ncst/~philip/downloads/). Instructions are in the file. You'll have to make it executable and copy it to /usr/local/bin/ before you can use it. Philip -- "I know Kung Fu."

Help wanted with running X on Trident Blade XP card
by Navin 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

hi guys, i just switched to a Trident Blade XP AGP card with 32 MB of VRAM. i was running RH 7.1 on a SiS 6215 earlier, and had managed to configure X to run pretty well. i tried to get X to run on the new card using xf86config. since it is not listed i chose Blade 3D which i thought was the nearest. this uses the 'trident' driver. but it gave me an error and quit. ive attached the relevant parts of /var/log/ XFree86.0.log. plz do tell me of any workarounds or drivers available for solving my problem Navin
