FOSS profit
by Sagar Belure 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi all, Maybe I'm asking another noob question. But, wanted to know, how the big companies gain profit who run Free and Open Source project like Mozilla, Apache, etc. Of course, even if you are working for Free and Open source projects, there has to be some income. I'm hoping for the varieties of views on this. PS: Apologize for the cross post. Do not include the other mailing list id if you are not subscribed to it. -- Thanks, Sagar Belure

Fwd: command to get description of packages listed in a file
by Kussh Singh 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi all Is there any easy way to get the description of all packages listed in a file which contains the names of all such packages? eg. i used sudo dpkg --get-selections >installed-software to make a list of all installed software packages on my system However I want to remove some of them in batch mode (from the command line) instead of by using synaptic and deleting them one by one which is a cumbersome process. So the description of such packages is needed in another file containing a subset of names of packages likely to be removed. How can this be done ? Kussh

A suggestion
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Greetings, We see a lot of professionals and SMBs who are member of this list. I was wondering if we all can form a sort of service network of professional for various solutions using open/mixed source. Any person/organisation with skills/knowledge on FLOSS/Hweterogenous/Others can be a member. We cannot ignore the "other"/"Proprietery" completely as they are entrenched in the various verticals. Please bear with me. I have dedicated last five years of my bread and butter earning career to FLOSS solutions but have difficulty in gaining traction in the enterprises working alone. Of course there are commercials involved. Which can be discussed threadbare. Perhaps another list for that. I was having a "Single window Solutions" in mind wherein the members/prospective customers can pick and choose services they want. Modalities/details can be worked out. Soliciting opinions from the esteemed members of this list. Regards, Rajagopal

Mystery between: eth0 Link not ready - Reliance Netconnect BB+ 10.04 (Ubuntu)
by Roshan 19 Dec '10

19 Dec '10

All, I was able to use Reliance Netconnect BB+ on Ubuntu 10.04 without doing much and Ubuntu detecting the device and just asking for the number to be dialled and credentials. However, once I had to just test a proxy server on ubuntu so I plugged in a LAN Card and then tried to connect to BB+ the usual way I do. However, since then (and at that time) I have not been able to connect to BB+ at all and Ubuntu just doesn't connect to the internet. I recently noted that in the logs (dmesg) it shows up eth0: link not ready for some odd reason - I do not have the LAN cable connected any longer now. Is this a recent known bug (I couldn't find any bugs though) or is there something that I'm not doing correctly? -- Roshan Baladhanvi

Keys misbehaving in GUI
by H.S.Rai 19 Dec '10

19 Dec '10

Strange behaviour observed. On latest Ubuntu 10.10 updated, when I login as a particular user in GUI, most of keys towards right half of keyboard start misbehaving. Many keys don't produce any action, some make cursor to move. I checked keyboard layout, it is not changed. If I login in Console mode, it is OK. For other users, it is OK. Can it be virus? How I can find problem, or how I can correct it / restore to original one. -- H.S.Rai

Firefox/Chrome(on Linux) compatible DVRs?
by Raghu Prasad 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi! I am planning to buy a 4 channel DVR for video surveillance. The models I have seen supports only IE (using ActiveX) for real time monitoring and movement of cameras. Some claimed to work with Firefox but on actual testing it didn't work at all. Has anyone implemented any non-PC based DVRs which can be accessed from Linux based systems using either Firefox or Chrome? I am against using a dedicated PC for it due to its larger form factor and high power consumption. This device is supposed to be running 24x7 in a closed loft. Thanks in advance. Raghu

I don't have a GPS phone, but I've had long chats with friends who do about GPS accuracy, and they seem to confirm this --- 10-20 metres is typical outdoor accuracy. They add a couple of ifs. First, you may need to wait fairly long, maybe 10-15 mins, to get this accurate a fix specially after a long off-line gap, because a lot of cached data inside the phone needs to be validated with the satellites. Second, they say that this accuracy is possible only if satellite reception is acceptable, which it is not in some situations, typically indoors. In the absence of these two factors, you'll get position data from cellphone towers (AGPS) which will be +/- a few hundred metres. This is typically what a newbie "GPS user" sees with his phone. When the first Motorola Milestone came to our office, I remember this is what we all used to see, till we did all this knowledge gathering and re-tried. Shuvam

NetworkManager Permission Issue on Fedora 14

The data card is detected and usable on Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD and Installed version using Network Manager. In Fedora 14, the card is detected and setup without any problem. But I can not use/activate it as normal user as Network Manager does not allow me to give permission to use by normal user. Please help me in figuring out how to set permission in Network Manager on Fedora 14. Google did not provide any useful info/pointers. TIA for your help and hints.

Hi, Can someone recommend a Live CD distro meeting following specs: - Firefox 3+ built in - less than 150MB - 200MB (quick bootup) - works on Laptop / desktop. - Supports Wifi (optional) I tried a few distros but did not fit well. SUSE, Fedora -- both has everything I need, but I only have the DVD version which takes a long time to boot Slax -- details on website looked just perfect, but CD did not boot, just threw some messages {I do not recollect them} and stopped. Also tried Puppy Linux & DamnSmallLinux, but faced some issues with them too. I think one of them had an old / stripped down version of Firefox Thank you in advance. Best regards, Sans

running script only if USB is mounted
by Kshitiz 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Hello friends I use rsync to copy my incremental data to an external harddisk every 5 minutes using cron. However, if the external harddisk, connected to the USB port is disconnected, the root partition fills up. I need your help to create a proper script that does the following: Before running the rsync copying script, I want to a) Add some statement that would check if the external harddisk is attached and mounted. b) If not, it should be mounted before the copying script is run to copy only to this external disk. c) If it is not mounted, mount should be attempted, and if it does not mount, rsync copying command should not be executed. Is there any better way to do this? Under no circumstances, I want the rsync script to execute if the USB connection is not active. Regards and thank you all in advance Kshitiz
