rconnect monitoring in Debian
by Harshal 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

any body using relieance rconnect to connect to net. i am running a debian box here, and i just got there 650 plan where you pay flat Rs.650 and get always on connection with 1Gb of download limit. the problem is how do i know how much have i downloaded? i contacted there support they said, they don't have any info about this. infact once the guy said that its users who will have to keep track how much they have downloaded, i don't understand if they themselves don't know whether i have crossed 1Gb or not, how will they bill me. anyways, so i have decided to keep a track of myself. i am not using kppp where i know how it can be done. how do i monitor when i am using rconnect?

Alinux aka Peanut Linux
by Gaurav Mishra 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

aLinux is a new name of what was until recently known as Peanut Linux. The originally small distribution has grown large and "Peanut isn't a Peanut no-more, it's evolved into something, well, larger, a watermelon... Of course it will be the same, just a different name. Changes in aLinux 12.2 are mainly xitami rebuilt, mimes added to that, and mplayer-plug, 'apt' updated to name change. RPM updated to now show a vendor, this can be over ridden in /usr/lib/rpm/macros; as well as email address. Updated RPMs popt from 1.8.1 - 1.9.1 I believe. Some other stuff updated, can't remember it all... oh yeah, kdenetwork, updated to support wireless networking... umm... think brain think... lol... Kay and I may have added some other wallpapers...." Check out http://alinux.org/

Re: [ILUG-BOM] py2exe on Linux?

Hi, Satya <ilugbom(a)thesatya.com> wrote: > Alright, all you Python people, everywhere I look on Google > I find that py2exe is being run on Windows. Can I use it on Linux > (without Wine, VMWare, etc.) and generate Windows executables? The short answer is no. To some extent this is possible, but there is currently no tool AFAIK that does a cross-platform build for Python. You will find the same question discussed on comp.lang.python - http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/ search?q=py2exe+linux There are instructions to get it done using Wine and the minimal number of windows DLLs at http://grossac.org/python_eng.html Without a proper Windows environment, I doubt you'll be able to do this with a complex project that has many dependencies - especially GUI libraries etc. Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

Pacenet-india PPPoE Connection
by Revant 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

I'll try to provide all info. So that experts can help me solve the connection problem 1) I'm using ubuntu 4.10 http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ debian based distro 2) the command default in debian me@ubuntu:~ $ pppoe-discovery Access-Concentrator: net9 Service-Name: net9 Got a cookie: 53 dd 47 9e 6e 39 bc 33 97 a5 11 60 e2 17 71 f2 fc 04 00 00 AC-Ethernet-Address: 00:0c:f1:fc:e6:ef -------------------------------------------------- Access-Concentrator: net9online Service-Name: cable AC-Ethernet-Address: 00:01:0a:11:44:34 -------------------------------------------------- 3)adsl-start error -> pd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 ing interface ppp0 nnect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 mote message: Login incorrect nnection terminated. flush failed: Input/output error it. pd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 ing interface ppp0 nnect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 mote message: Login incorrect nnection terminated. it. 4) username used to connect I tried to connect with both types of usernames. user and user@linuxuser both 5) kernel mode / Normal Mode pppoe connection method -> i dont know how to find this out? 6) tools used to configure pppoe first i used pppoeconf then adsl-setup then edited the pppoe.conf for a-c and service-name Social and Real world : My ISP cable guy has his router setup in such a way that i can auth the net from web browser http:// 172.50.1.1 but it fails 1/4th of the time. So on windows xp their so called "engineer" gave me the pacenet dialer and connected me to internet with 1) my username 2) A-C was "net9online" and "service-name" was cable I called pacenet-call centre and they said they cannot create @linuxuser for me as i use 25kbps plan. I think connection must work on linux because it works on windows, I guess the problem might be in these 2 things 1) it sometimes connects with PAP and sometimes CHAP and both methods fail to authenticate, what should i use to connect to server, and how? 2) Problem might also be in kernel or normal mode pppoe , because i dont know the difference Now I'm on linux and connected to internet by the router way http://172.50.1.1 , but can't hold it for 24*7
