Commercial Requirment
by Manvinder sandhu 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

About Myself: I am working for a Networking Consulting company and have 10+ years of expereince in implementing Cisco technologies. Based on my industry experience I wanted to develop a customized helpdesk package.I only have the workflow idea but no developer experience, for which I thought I would put this up in the online forum and see if I could get any affordable help. Project Explaination I have an idea to integrate open source software to develop an helpdesk system. This help desk system will have different components like Network monitoring, Trouble Ticketing System, Network Mapping, Authentication etc. I have indentified a few open source softwares that can do the job, but they are not integrated. I would like to integrate them with few ideas of my own. To start with I am looking at developer who is an expert in PYTHON, MYSQL, Linux and a bit of internetworking knowledge. Knowledge of PHP, Zope would be an added advantage. If interested please contact me offline and we can discuss the project and commercials in detail. My Cell is +91 9967337699 Manvinder

I don't prefer it but I had to repeat my question,so here goes: For using OpenDNS,should we use the instructions for Linux/Unix or for routers since the desktop is basically a machine on the private network while the router is the one which handles DNS addresses? Regards, Easwar

I third that.And I guess,Rohit,you made a typo and actually meant that you replaced the MTNL DNS with OpenDNS IPs?? Also,for using OpenDNS,should we use the instructions for Linux/Unix or for routers since the desktop is basically a machine on the private network while the router is the one which handles DNS addresses? Regards, Easwar PS:Has somebody experienced considerable improvement in performance after switching from MTNL DNS to OpenDNS?

installed openoffice rpms with alien for total disaster.
by krishnakant Mane 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

hello, has some one faced this? I downloaded openoffice 2.2.1 as suggested on this list and then uncompressed it into a folder and then installed it with the following command. alien -i *.rpm. I did this after going into the RPMS sub directory of the main open office directory. I did not get any errors, just a warning that scripts are not being installed, use --script option for correcting this. I did it again and this time no problem. first I did alien -r *.rpm and then the first -i command along with --script. this time no errors and no warnings. but surprise! I don't have any thing in my applications/ office menu except evolution. I tried finding hard and eventually got /opt/openoffice2.2.1 and in the programs sub directory I found swriter, scalc etc. I can run them all right but now I can't create a shortcut in the office menu nor on the desktop. what should I do. did I install this in the wrong way? again my command was alien -i --script *.rpm. please correct me if I am wrong. regards, Krishnakant.
