Dear All,
I finally found this piece of information at the
http://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne site. It says :
Note Kernel 2.6.27-11 breaks the wired ethernet interface. Bug 313866
has been verified: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/313866 Add
to the information to help. Revert to an earlier kernel to fix the
wired interface for now.
However, I managed to crash my laptop while trying out various ways to
fix the problem. I am told by the Acer people that it is probably only
a corruption of the BIOS and will have to start from putting in a new
BIOS. But when I have my Kubuntu intrepid up, I will remember to
revert to an earlier version of the kernel. Hope this helps others who
have the Acer Aspire One.
Regards,
Sanjay Singhvi

Is it allowed to install a closed-source ("legal") VM and put Linux in
it?
Yes afaik. But why would one want to do that.

Hello all,
I intended to hold a demonstration and installfest of
Ubuntu a few months ago,which didn't work out because the projector
was unavailable.I plan to do the fest again,this time successfully, on
27th and
28th Feb,with the demo on 27th and installfest on 28th respectively.My
(more) fleshed out plan follows,please tell me what you think of it. :)
Demonstration:
On 27th,I plan to set up 4-5 machines with Ubuntu 8.04[LTS] installed
with eye candy and requisite non-free codecs and to attract people
with compiz effects and natural curiosity and explain to them the
various replacements for applications they use on Windows(TM).As Mehul
has helpfully provided,we need to show them reasons to switch,which
will be parallels for the applications they use on Windows(TM)
Explain the features vis-a-vis Windows,career possibilities and use of
GNU/Linux in universities and companies abroad.We organize an install
fest next day for those interested.
Installfest:
I have 28 odd Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit CDs.I plan to install for those who
bring their boxes and hand them a CD.If people can't bring their
machines,ask them to check out the installation procedure,and hand out
CDs.
Also,planning to provide Fedora 10 installs for those who wish to try
out a different distro.
If I run out of CDs,I ask them [previous day]to bring their flash
stick and create a bootable image on them,provided their boxes have
USB boot capabilities.Also planning to keep a CD Writer handy.
Where I need help in this plan is to arrange for the machines for the
first day.I have presently arranged for 3 desktop machines,but a wide
range of hardware is preferable.
Hence,if anyone can get along laptops pre-installed with Linux or
Sun VM machine, that'll be of help to me during the demonstration,because I
would be sure all the hardware works with Linux(or at least know which
hardware to skirt) and there will be no "Eh,this thing should have
been working" moments.Ideally,I plan to have a range of specifications
from low power to highly powered rigs.
I also need experienced people to lend their expertise in framing how
to speak to people who drop in to check out the machines on the first
day.
Therefore I invite willing members of ILUG-Bom to speak about
GNU/Linux to people who are interested in finding out more after
experiencing the Operating System.
And,last but not least,I need to be pointed out holes in the plan,and
help with patching them.

Hi,
I had written a broadband dialer for sify (antidialer) some time back.
during this time, sify decided to change its dialer protocol for
unknown reasons and include some cryptography** in it. I wanted to
know if it would be legal to reverse engineer the dialer (not
necessarily disassemble it) or wireshark packets to analyze and try to
write an alternate dialer for the new protocol. I'm asking this for
the following reasons:
1) I am not using the dialer for unauthorized access -- it is simply
an alternative means to login using a valid account. I have to do it
because the linux dialer crashes before or after I login and the
customer care has not been responsive to my complaints so far.
2) There is no EULA for which I have to click through when I use the
Linux based dialer, so reverse engineering it should not be illegal
right?
3) Someone had mentioned once on a forum (indiabroadband.com or
something like that) a while back that it is illegal to "break"
cryptography.
If it is legal then I could go around attempting to understand and
implement what the protocol does.
**It's really some silly xor/reverse with MD5s from what I could
understand so far.

Hi,
thanks for your kind suggestion. has your model got a webcam and if so,
which make? mine is a bisoncam, works w/the preinstalled gnulin, but don't
know if the driver is proprietary. i'm just worried abt the foss
compatibility of the webcam.

I agree with the list member[s] who say[s] newbies should be treated
respectfully.
when i was a [greater] newbie, i had a bad experience on this list, a
member was extremely rude to me. so i kept both myself and my
suggestions away from the lug-meet that i had written to enquire
about. i guess that is what that member wanted, anyway-- someone new
is always threatening to the coterie.
re the thread discussion about silly questions: lots of people, esp.
from our cultural/educational atmosphere *cannot* absorb knowledge
except through a conversation. they simply cannot parse the written
word, esp in English-- there is a mental block, otherwise lack of
confidence, or simply the necessity to think with the left brain that
makes them manual-averse. here, the person is not someone necessarily
lazy, stupid or mentally challenged.

Hello
I use MTNL Triband connection, recently I applied for static IP and got one
(59.185.196.123 [ just example ] ),
does any one know how to set this ip static on my ADSL Router (iball 54M
Wireless ADSL2+ Router, Model No.: iB-WR6111A)
I also want to setup NAT on the Router to access my LAN from outside.
this Router is capable but I tried many but not yet succeded.
MTNL call center help was of no use, those guys just know basic dynamic
setup.
WAN side of router:
----------------------------
Static IP : 59.185.196.123 ( just example, not actual )
Mask : dont know
GW : 59.184.191.254
LAN Side of router:
---------------------------
IP : 192.168.1.1
Mask : 255.255.255.0
P DNS : 203.94.227.70

Any help
