Request to all listers, please encourage people don't bash!!!
by krishnakant Mane 05 Jun '07

hello all, off late I am finding that good listers who keep on posting interesting material including links are being constantly bashed and discouraged. I am refering particularly to the latest email sent by roni and the subsiquent bashing and flaiming by other lister. look, keep your personal "dis interests " to your self. I remember including myself, many have problems with broadcom devices. recently I had raised an issue about the latest kernel updates that pleasingly surprised me. after this roni sent a link or 2 about the same information so that people on this list facing similar problems could benifit. I think this list is very much for sharing knowledge about gnu/linux and roni did not send any non-interesting stuff just because the flaimer feels so. I believe such kind of responses sends a bad signal to those who like to help others. I found the links very useful and may be others facing similar problems will find them useful too. roni, keep up the good work of sharing knowledge. regards, Krishnakant.

pleasingly surprised with vifi on compaq nx7300
by krishnakant Mane 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

hello all and roni in particular. roni, if you remember we tried hard to get the vifi working on my compaq laptop at your house. today after I updated ubuntu feisty I find it perfectly working out of the box! now my only question is that if I happen to format the laptop any time, wil just the updates help me or will I also need to install that broad com driver the way we both did? I want to know from any one who has tried broadcom if linux comes with free modules in the latest kernel? what I am really confused is the fact that just an update fixt my vifi problem. so is this a pure linux driver that has done the trick or is it a combination of the firmware and the kernel? can some one answer this? by the way in the updates list I found that the kernel modules were included and this time around the system demanded a reboot after the updates were applied. this implies that it was not a software update but a serious change to the kernel. regards, Krishnakant.

There was....but I a newbie thought it was for checkin my HDD which I was sure was in perfect condition. Well,the symptoms reoccurred without loss of acoount thankfully.....a simple reboot did the job..... The messages from when I entered my username and password were as follows:[Not verbatim,they were to the same effect and AFAIRemember,these were those :) ] 1.Your home directory is listed as /home/easwarh but it doesn't seem to exist.Do you want to login with the root directory as your home directory?It's unlikely anything will work unless you do so. Options:Yes No.....I selected Yes and proceeded..... 2.$HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored.Your home directory /home/easwarh either doesn't exist or you are not the owner.Home directory should have 644 permissions and not be writable by other users. Options:Ok...I selected the only option available and proceeded.... My desktop background appeared and there was a dialog box at the top left corner which stated: 3.Couldn't start kconfig(or something like that). Options:Okay....I selected that button coz there was nothing else to click on!It sent me back to the login screen from where I rebooted and when I came back and logged in,everything was fine like a clear,sunny day.......

A small liberty.....
by Easwar Hariharan 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi all, There is a small campaign going on in a community GNU/Linux (spamfree) on orkut to spread the use of Linux.....owing to my contacts in both the community and this list,I have taken the liberty of directing them to the LUG Bombay wiki to use the brochures which have been created there as a template cum source of info........hopefully,no one minds the use of those brochures,eh? Regards, Easwar

AST on Operating System objectives
by Vihan Pandey 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hello everyone, i guess there has been a ton of flaming on the matter of mircokernels off late(most of it by me :-). There have also been ubiquitous wikipedia links all over the place about POSIX, microkernels etc etc etc. All of which led me to sit a give the entire microkernel concept an another look. The result being, i thought it best to cool down and get a fresh perspective on things : http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/reliable-os/ Yes it's written by AST :-) and it is a VERY informative article and it DOES considers Linus' point of view as well. Thought it best to share it with the list :-) Regards, - vihan
