configuring the lirc receiver
by Sharan Rao 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

( referring to the last ilug talk on lirc) i have a creative infra cdrom drive with it's remote too. I went about installing lirc , put the creative infra remote specs in the lircd.conf file etc. After starting lircd , the daemon , when i try to connect to the device by running irw (say) the lirc daemon stops. i checked /var/log/lircd ( i run Debian Sarge kernel 2.4.27) i got this lircd: lircd(creative_infracd) ready lircd: registering local client lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd lircd: Creative iNFRA driver: begin search for device lircd: Probing: open of /dev/sga failed and so on.... it repeats the last line till /dev/sgy is it because the receiver is not properly configured ? i remember Rajiv using /dev/sg1 as the device (scsi) . How do i configure the creative infra cdrom drive as a receiver ? sharan --

by Aseem Rane 18 Apr '06

Hi, My H/W vendor recommended MSI RS480/RS482 motheboard with AMD-64 for me. But I have a few doubts about its Linux compatibility. I got mixed reaction on the net. http://scottstuff.net/blog/articles/2005/03/17/msi-rs480m2-il-athlon-64-mot… http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=352536 http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95776 http://www.techtree.com/techtree/jsp/article.jsp?article_id=3520&cat_id=556 The problem seem to be with onboard graphics Has any one of the list members tried this one? Or would you please suggest a good Linux compatible (out of box) Mobo/CPU (< 7K)? I want a motherboard with video/sound/lan onboard. Regards Aseem

Number of CPUs
by Nadeem M. Khan 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Hi. How do I determine the number of physical processors installed on my server from within the OS? I used to trust /proc/cpuinfo till I came across a Xeon box which had four physical CPUs, but /proc/cpuinfo reported eight. Talk of multithreading! Surely there must be a way to find the correct number of physical CPUs? Something like.. No of CPUs: 8 ( 4 Physical ) Regards, NMK.

STTP on Open Source Software
by Roshan 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Hi all, I was just finding something through search engines, and found that there is a STTP on "Open Source Software" in K J Somaiya College of Engineering. But, Registration was available only for faculty members, and I am student. The only best part I noted about this, was, Mr. Nagarjuna, is a part of this programme. >From the last meet that I attended at HBSCE, I was really happy what Mr. Nagarjuna shared about LaTEX. I'm sure, its really going to benefit those who attend this session. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner now.

Share your views with LFY
by Janani Gopalakrishnan 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Hi all, Greetings from Linux for You (www.lfymag.com) In order to increase people-orientation and GNU/Linux users' participation in LFY, we have decided to introduce a new section (sorry, we are still racking our brains for the 'perfect' name) in the magazine, where GNU/Linux users can share their opinions regarding one interesting topic each month. Every month our team will decide on a question or topic and mail it to various ILUG mailing lists. We hope that the ILUG members will enthusiastically share their opinions on the subject. The team picks the best responses and publishes it in LFY. The answers can be technical, humorous or radical (you may give a totally new perspective to the topic being discussed). This month we've decided to start with the topic, "Why is it that 8 of the world's top 10 supercomputers are powered by GNU/Linux?" We request all those who are interested to kindly send in your responses to this question to Janani (writetojanani(a)gmail.com) with a CC to Atul (atul(a)efyindia.com). We really hope you are as enthusiastic as we are about this. Look forward to your responses. Thanks and regards, Janani Gopalakrishnan (http://gjanani.googlepages.com) Atul Goel (EFY Group, New Delhi)
