Help required in setting up Pacenet connection in Ubuntu10.10
by gautam verma 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi, I have been trying to connect pacenet from Ubuntu for a week but hadn't found any success. I goggled on this stuff and have tried all the things told but yet always the chap authentication fails. The link from which i took help is: http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Broadband_Pacenet <http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Broadband_Pacenet>I have generated encrypted password and used it. But i was unable to understand how to "Setup your LAN card using your preferred GUI or terminal utility. I used the GUI utility *System > Administration > Networking*. Enter your private IP address, net mask and gateway". On giving command sudo pppoe-discovery , it shows me pacenet as the only Access-Concentrator. Can anyone plz help me out? because right now i am doing programming on windows and it is frustrating as it is slows and not that much friendly. Thanks in advance, Note: I can put output of my all files that are required but as this is first mail so i am just withholding until i get someone who has been running pacenet on Ubuntu. -- Yours Sincerely , Gautam Verma , ASE, CGI India . office : 022-66088093, mob- 7208529739

A radical shift in e-governance
by Venkatesh Hariharan 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

The Hindu has a nice feature on the Indian open standards policy. The examples cited in this article are very relevant. Venky ===== A radical shift in e-governance On November 12, in a very progressive and sound move, the Union Ministry of Communication and Information Technology notified the National Policy on Open Standards in e-governance An Indian case study of how open standards can make an impact on the domestic technology industry and promote innovation, by offering a level-playing field for technology companies — both big and small — is the Smart Card Operating System for Transport Applications (SCOSTA). SCOSTA was a standard developed for smart card-based driving licences and transport-related documentation by different State governments. It was developed by the National Informatics Centre in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Despite attempts by proprietary lobbies to make the body opt for a proprietary standard, the NIC and academics went ahead and developed an open standards, one that comprised technological specifications that were entirely royalty-free, and put up the specifications on their website. By doing so, they made a huge impact on the entire market. http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/article907442.ece

Incremental Backup using rsync
by Kshitiz 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Dear Friends Can anyone help me write a script for incremental backup using rsync to create multiple restore-point-backup that can be easily restored? I feel a full backup once in 400 days, with hourly incremental, daily incremental and weekly incremental backup being rotated in a way in which 1 full backup followed by 24 hourly incremental backups, interspersed with 7 daily incremental backups and 5 weekly incremental backups may be protection enough for my data. What is the you all's expert opinion? Kindly suggest a better methodology please. Would it be better if these backups are compressed and stored in tar format? Kindly guide please. Regards and thank you all in advance Kshitiz

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [COMMERCIAL] Landline phone through PC

Dear Raj, For test bed we have a single port fxo card which works with Asterisk and costs Rs. 3500/- + 5% Tax But this card is not recommended in production environments, this is what we stock and suggest for all the new guys who want to have a phone line come into asterisk and do their research projects (several of these cards have been sold in IITs all over india) Btw writing a voice modem driver would be time consuming n costly affair n still requires a lot of testing, I believe the option I have makes economic sense. Anyone wants to purchase on can get in touch with me offline.
