LG LXU 800 CDMA Modem under fedora
by Nachiketa Sadhu 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, I have started using The Reliance LG LXU800 modem for their NetConnect service. I have used it under MS Windows as of now. They provide Linux driver for kernel 2.6.27-7-generic specifically on the CD which came with the modem. It did not load with the linux kernel 2.6.30.8-64.fc11 which I have on my laptop. Search on the Internet only advised me to change to that particular kernel. Can anyone provide links or information on how to make this work under the present kernel and later under the updates which will be coming. I would also like to know if this can be used on a Asus EEEPC 4G. Thanks and regards. sadhu

Re: [ILUG-BOM] playing Windows games on linux
by Pratik Anand 29 Oct '09

@steve well, thanks for reminding but I know it is based on Wine. But for playing games in linux using Wine with default drivers, you have to do hell lot of tweaking and config settings.PlayOnLinux does all that for you. So no bubbles are there to prick :) thanks Pratik Anand

playing Windows games on linux
by Pratik Anand 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

We all know that Windows games don't run on Linux. Most of them don't even have linux ports. Many people even advanced linux users keep windows partition just to play games. Wine even doesn't help much as it slows down the system. Even worse case with virtualizations (like VirtualBox). Now here is a better way of playing games of Windows flawlessly on Linux. http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ Just stumbled upon it. It contains patches specific to game titles to make them executable in linux environment . Please have a look. Pratik Anand -- pratik3d.blogspot.com

[commercial] OnSite help with 2 HDD - VolGroup issues
by RSCL Mumbai 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, I have an IBM server with 2 identical disks -- SATA 250GB. I have installed CentOS 5.3 on both the disks. I want to keep both the disks connected in the server, Boot from Disk-1 and run a full disk RSync every night. The problem is, the 2nd HDD won't mount because of identical VolGroup names and related issues. Need to change the VolumeGroup of both HDDs and look at other related issues. End result, I need to be able to boot from HDD1, mound HDD2 and rsync. In case of HDD1 failure, HDD2 should be able to work as the main disk. I know this is similar to RAID and raid is an option, but I have my reasons for doing it this way. Looking for someone who can help me ? Let me know. Thx & Regards, Sandeep 98199-88384

Greetings! I am a final year engineering student from Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Andheri, Mumbai. I am a big fan of the FOSS philosophy and am working on BIOS level virtualiazation as part of my final year project. I am an ardent fan of Linux Journal and read it religiously every month from our college library. However due to some subscription issues the college is not able to acquire the October 2009 edition. Could any suggest a shop or bookstore in and around Andheri where it will be available as it has very important articles regarding my project. Thanks a lot! Warm Regards Mukesh Singh _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: Find the right PC for you. Learn more. http://windows.microsoft.com/shop

Linux Criticism on Vista Forum hosted on Linux Server
by Pravin Dhayfule 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, Just came across these threads on these Linux Critic Threads on a Vista Forum that is actually hosted through PHPBB on Linux Server.... Funny, isn't it? http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/777… http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/648… http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/648… The discussions (rather debate) are really interesting to read and also educating. The strange part is, did some of those critics realize that they are actually debating against linux on a Linux Based Website? Bye Regards -- Pravin Balaji Dhayfule
