New site: gnowledge network
by Nagarjuna G. 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Sorry if you get multiple copies; I know there are many common members in the groups I am sending to. Dear fellow hackers, www.gnowledge.org <http://gnowledge.org> portal will be slowly transformed soon into a collaborative concept mapping (knowledge networking) site. Please check out the first edition with dependency maps. The old site will be slowly phased out, it is available from http://old.gnowledge.org/ New site is http://www.gnowledge.org/ Join, contribute, test, and help in this new initiative. Do spread the word around so that more and more people can add to the growing network. Soon to come: type map, part map, interaction map, cause-effect map, debian software map, translation map, and soon a new SELF Platform with automatically created course structure from the knowledge network. -- Nagarjuna G.

Kubuntu on Acer Aspire One (AAO)
by Rony 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hello, I am trying to boot a live Kubuntu 8.04 ( KDE 3 as well as 4 ) CD into the Aspire One with XP Home pre-loaded but the boot stops at an initramfs prompt. There is an external HDD adapter that is plugged into the brand new Moser Bayer IDE DVD R/W and this combination was able to read media in Debian Etch's desktop, just like plugging in a pen drive. In the AAO, on hitting F12, the third option is the USB DVD drive and I get the initial boot options. After selecting the default live option, the boot process moves up to the initial part and then stops at the initramfs prompt. I believe this is due to some driver issue. Has anyone installed Kubuntu 8.04 on this netbook? The sites on google mostly mention Ubuntu 8.10 for this netbook so I will be downloading the Kubuntu 8.10 ISO. However what are other user experiences on this list? -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

adsl model problem
by manish mallan 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hi, I have a BSNL internet connection. When i am using azureus, after some time, my download stops, it again starts & does this couple of times. Every time, firestarter indicates a blocked connection. If i check the firestarter for blocked connections, i see this (not in any order): Port Source Protocol Service 57084 192.168.1.1 ICMP Unknown 4024 192.168.1.1 ICMP Unknown 62159 192.168.1.1 ICMP Unknown I tried to closely monitor this thing, as far i can tell, when ever this happens, download speed goes to 0 & then again increases. But some times i have to reset the modem. I am using Ubuntu 8.04. I have checked my pc at grc.com (i went through http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812) It shows my pc as passed the test. Can any body help in tackling this problem ? -- --------------------------------------- Microsoft gives you Windows, Linux gives you the whole house... -- regards, Manish
