Linux compatible scanner
by Rony 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hello All, I have to give a quotation to someone for a linux system. Everything else is compatible. I would like to know which scanner is compatible with lunux ( mostly Ubuntu ). I have 2 choices Canon Lide 25 or HP 2400. Has anyone tried anyone of these with linux and if so please give some details of hardware, OS and version. Any other linux compatible scanner anyone is using? Any help will be highly appreciated. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

Kubuntu 7.04 on Gigabyte 945 [Report]
by Rony 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hello All, I installed Kubuntu 7.04 on a Gigabyte 945 motherboard system with Pentium DC 3 GHz. processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB SATA Seagate HDD and Samsung 17 " TFT monitor and Sony DVD writer. . First I tried the 64 bit live cd but it could not give resolution above 800x600. So the 32 bit version was tried and it gave a full toss 1280 x 1024 resolution. Sound was also up as I got the startup 'ding diding ding ding' sound. Network was up and running too in the ethernet card with triband service. I did not install full MMedia support as the client requires it only for internet. The Microsoft web cam was either not detected or I did not know how to view it as time was short. The only problem I got was that shut down or restart hangs just at the point of transition between on to off or back to on. Every time I got to press the reset button to release the system. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

by Sameer Niphadkar 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hello Luggers, We have just wrapped up with the phase 1 of our project...though its far from being complete and bug free, we request all of you especially the experienced programmers to try it out. To give you a summary in 1 line : Its an Uniform Linux Application Installer and Repository (ULAIR) built by us to support the RPM and DEB based applications. Basically we want to reduce the workload of application installation and smoothen the process in a networked environment with our repository being installed on the server. All this is of course only for Linux distributions. The project is under the GNU GPL To know further please visit : http://code.google.com/p/ulair/ Download beta : http://ulair.googlecode.com/files/ulair_beta.zip Thanks a lot, your feedback and suggestions are appreciated and welcome with regards Sameer ULAIR project team member 'You will be what you WILL to Be' -James Allen

I think the best option is let this thread take a breather,I will get a new Mandriva DVD from Mrugesh,install and then follow these steps...then if the problem reoccurs,I will report back again...... I am actually of the opinion that Mandriva has given me so many problems that I plan to shift to Ubuntu Fiesty and Fedora 7(64 bit)... :x Regards, Easwar

They are meant for people who cannot or do not wish to own their own computers. But the leaders of this state (especially the ones who live in Kalanagar) have decided that the free flow of information is not good for the ordinary people of this state. Their goons are vandalising cybercafes, and the police have sent out notices (not in Mumbai, but in Ulhasnagar and Dombivli, and in other towns in the state) asking cybercafes not to "show users the Orkut site". Needless to say, the press has been largely silent about this state of affairs. I also see little discussion of it in lists relating to IT in India. Evidently, the best way to live here is to wait until the leaders dole out largesse (free electricity and water) in return only for a simple vote. Oh yes, and perhaps a heavy stick to bash up anyone who thinks. Vickram ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail is the world's favourite email.

by Kenneth Gonsalves 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

hi, as you may know VJTI has offered a lab of 30 machines for use of the community. We are going over there on sunday to start setting up the machines and chalk out programs. The lab will be available for all lug type activities. Our first challenge is to set up the lab as a state of art thingie that showcases the best of FOSS. And then to bring crowds in to see, use, learn and enjoy. So please bring your dvds cds and drop in to the mechanical engineering department of VJTI anytime after 10 am. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon(a)au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/
