Running Firefox 1.5.0.4 from FC5
by Vivek Buwa 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hello All, This is my first email to the group and by seeing the previous messages I will get the answer/s here. I m a new linux user and installed FC5 y'day. It was having Firefox 1.5.0.1. I downloaded and extracted the tarball of latest version of firefox which is 1.5.0.4. When I tried to open the executable 'firefox' file.. it opened the new firefox window but of the older version only. So I removed all the folders named Firefox having older version. Then put the latest version Firefox's executable in /usr/bin directory. The tried giving 'firefox' command in console.. it gives me error.. "Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting." when i try to execute the firefox executable from extracted tarball itself by giving command "./firefox".... it gives me error "./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"! Can I get help regarding this issue.. How can I start latest version of firefox? ........ AND hi Dinesh! Vivek here! I seen ur replies.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Running script as root

>> If you modify your /etc/sudoers file to >> username ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL > Dangerous! Extremely dangerous!! Since only a particular user is given the permission it is not so dangerous. But even then you can allow only a particular command to be run. I dont remember the exact command. Often the sudoers file itself has hints on how to do this. Cheers, Debarshi

How robust is the WWW::Babelfish module?
by Rohit V Bhute 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

I'm working on translating strings in a Perl script from English to Italian using the WWW::Babelfish module. While the script is a no-brainer, I've been stumped by the reliability of the module. For most of the last three days, it gave no output for strings beyond a certain length (that I can say was around 25 characters). Admittedly, its author claims it is for "fun"; but he also mentions that it broke input to the Babelfish service into chunks of 1000 characters, so my sting length shouldn't be a problem. I 've been tasked to make a script that will translate a set of strings from one language to another, reliably. When I tested the script from home, it didn't work yesterday either, but then it worked right now. Any hints/clues would be welcome. If anyone wants to look at the code, please let me know so I can mail it to you off-list. -- Rohit V. Bhute http://blog.rvbhute.org

Vivek, > "./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: > libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No > such file or directory"! You need to give following command: ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 and then run ldconfig -v After that try to start firefox via : ./firefox Thanks & Regards, Mitul Limbani, Founder & CEO, Enterux Solutions, The Enterprise Linux Company (TM), www.enterux.com

AGNULA Live CD
by Roshan 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hello List, I had posted a request for AGNULA Live CD on the wiki of GLUG-BOM. But it seems, as if no one really visits the wiki. So, I post this to the list and request to burn me a copy of the same on my media. For list members from or near the north-eastern suburbs of mumbai, it would be easier for me to give my CD-R! ;) __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Quoting Dinesh Shah: > Dear Harsh, > > On Wed, 2006-07-12 at 22:23, Harsh Busa wrote: > > > what is the userid password for connecting via telnet / ssh to DLINK 502T > > harsh > > Telnel only - admin/admin :-) Slight change of topic - does anyone here know how to disable or reset the admin password on a DI-524 wireless router? Basically, it has been set once, and I thought I wrote the password down safely, but perhaps too safely, as I now do not know where to find it. I have tried my obvious passwords and none work. Luckily, I have the password stored in one computer so I can administer the router for now, but this is hardly a safe situation. I tried changing the password from that machine too, but before accepting the command it needs authentication (using the forgotten password) manually. The firmware is ver B, and it turns out that this model is not supported (ver A to E are supported excepting B) in India. I would also like to know if (and how) the firmware can be changed, as I would like to experiment with mesh networking and long delay distance networking. Vickram

> > Have a look at this blog entry: > >http://g33k.wordpress.com/2006/07/03/ >the-coffee-now-smells-better/ Interesting. In some of the previous emails to the list, it was mentioned that ICICI bank was also using OpenOffice as their office suite, to cut down costs. Open Source Software is on its way to reach _more_ masses. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.
