Saddest quote of funniest man
"I like to walk in rain because no one can see my tear"
I have a machine w/ kubuntu w/ a wlan0 (runing w/ ndiswrapper) connecting
to the net via braodband modem.
I now want to connect my laptop to the net thru the broadband modem via
the wifi.
I followed this link:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-274790-highlight-adhoc+wireless.html
I managed to get the laptop talking to the kubuntu machine and I can even
browse the net on the laptop.
The problem is that I have lost internet connectivity on the kubuntu
machine :( . No ping, no web access, zilch.
I have the follwoing setup:
modem <-> (pub.lic.I.P) PC <-> wifi (192.168.1.202) <-> (192.168.1.204) laptop
I have made the requisite changes in the commands shown on this page.
where is the problem ?
do I need any changes to this line ?
route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 10.0.1.1
I've changed it to
route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.202

Sharukh

Hi,
I recently got hold of the latest prototype of the above data logger
that is being manufactured by a Mumbai firm. In looks it is an
unimpressive rectangular box without a display. It is meant purely
for logging trackpoints and waypoints. It claims to be 32 channel and
has 4 MB RAM.
It has
1. power/lo battery LED
2. Satellite LED - glows red on satellite acquisition
3. Computer/Memory full LED
4. Waypoint LED
1. Power button
2. Computer button
3. Waypoint button
It runs on a Nokia cell phone battery and can be charged with a
standard nokia charger. There is a serial port and a screw to attach
an antenna.
The antenna comes with a 3 metre cable and has a powerful magnet. A
serial cable is provided with two outlets - one for downloading the
GPS data and the other for direct instrument to computer reading. The
cable also has a bell-push for recording waypoints.
Usage:
in a car, stick the antenna on the roof, the instrument inside and
tape the way point bellpush to the steering wheel - similar
arrangement for a bike. Walking, keep the unit in a pocket, the
antenna in a shirt pocket and the waypoint bell push in your hand.
Getting data:
Connect to a PC using a serial-usb cable. Type cat /dev/ttyUSB0 >
filename.txt, and the data is transferred. It can be converted to gpx
format using:
http://nrcfosshelpline.in/confman/browser/branches/sparc2gpx/
sparc2gpx.py
Accuracy:
Much better than my old garmin 72. I had walked around on the
footways of a park with the device this morning in heavily overcast
conditions with heavy tree cover - the paths marked here are without
tweaking - just join-the-dots:
http://openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=16.6938&lon=74.4613&zoom=18
Incidentaly the device also has the logo of FSF India on the top, so
I suppose this signifies that everything in the device is free software.
The device is not in production yet, but I am reviewing it because I
feel that efforts like this need to be encouraged - very good job of
adapting a device for the use of the enthusisastic mapper.
caveat: I am not an employee of sparc systems nor do I get commission
from them.

Hi,
does anyone have a full/partial debian mirror ( dists - lenny , arch
- i386/amd64 )? or anyone have fat (& unlimited bandwidth) to update
one ( I have a june 2007 one - total download required would be about
20GB - binary only ).
problem updating lenny mirror on slow pipe is by the time mirror is
half update, a quarter of it would have already changed!..
Let me know if someone in mumbai/pune has the resources.

Karunakar

Hi All,
I am using an IBall Marshall Dual Core Laptop,
it does not alllow the install of Linux as the installer, irrespective
of the linux flavor hangs up,
can anyone suggest a way to install Linux in the system.
Most linux installers hang up without any error message
I have tried the noapic and nolapic options in boot parameters with Ubuntu
The BIOS is a Phoenix BIOS, but SIW reports it as COMPAL BIOS
at present, it has windows installed in it and working fine
Regards

At what stage of booting does it hang? Also what is on the screen when it hangs? Try a Ubuntu Live CD (Pref Hardy) and boot in the verbose mode. Can you tell us at what stage the verbose mode hangs ?

actually i got my answer. yes it does require a server like VNC-server or
any remote desktop server.
Actually if you use CentOS [or any other distro for that matter] , it will automate the remote desktop access feature for you. The CentOS remote desktop app is quite configurable as well. You can use the link for more info :

but one more thing. how do i get a remote desk top. do i need to install a
VNC in server also? to get this.
if yes then is it possible to get a remote desktop without installing any
thing to server?
I cant really understand your question. However from what I understand, you want to find out whether the remote computer you are trying to connect from needs any additional software. [ Please correct me if I am wrong ]. Using a package called vnc-java , You can access your computer from any location that has a Java -enabled web browser. You can google for instructions , or mail me if you have any difficulties.

Sameep
