Debian trends and future distros.
by Rony 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hello Everyone, Here are some news tips and updates for Debian and its alied distros. During April 07, Ubuntu will come out with a multi-media centric distro called UbuntuStudio http://ubuntustudio.org/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio There is also another media centric Ubuntu called Ubuntu Multimedia Center http://ubuntummc.com/ During that time the new Ubuntu versions 7.04 will be released too. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue28 Debian 4 which is still under 'Testing' and will be finally called Etch http://www.us.debian.org/releases/testing/ can be downloaded for trial using a small netinstall iso http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ from http://www.us.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ The netinstall iso is the base system only. But saves download of heavy dvds for testing. There are CD isos too but I don't know which iso contains what packages. I downloaded the netinstall iso which was 130 MB and used 'installgui' at boot prompt to use and study its GUI installer. Its really great and very good for non-experts to try out Debian. It works smoothly just like Fedora's Anaconda. Its kernel is 2.6.17. During installation, the Desktop option was selected during package selection and it download 540 MB of Gnome desktop. My 400 MB triband account is screaming and hysterical at the heavy downloads this month. :P Gnome in Etch RC1 is 2.15. In Ubuntu 6.10 it is 2.16. After install, the updates prompter in Etch states that kernel 2.6.18 image is available. So thats a plus point for Debian Etch. Gnome in Etch is a bit buggy. Its printer tool allows you to select and choose printers but at the final 'Apply' button, the entire process vanishes into thin air. You are back to square 1. The best way to setup printers in _any_ linux distro is to ensure that CUPS is running and use a web browser and type localhost:631 in the address bar. 631 is the CUPS port for printing. If you have enabled network administration ( see docs on the CUPS website) you can access your printer from across different machines by typing Your_Printer_PC_IP_Address:631 If you are a command line fan or X is not loaded then use the lynx text browser to do the same in command line. 'lynx localhost:631' You can change printer settings too, like page size, resolution etc. Another bug with gnome is that its automatic NetworkManager applet initially detects the connection established but after a reboot or two, it does not even detect the network device. All this while network is actually working and giving internet access. But Gnome in etch packs in some more packages and utilities compared to Ubuntu 6.10. It has a separate CD burning utility ( cannot recall its name) just like K3B in KDE. The default in-built burning utility still exists. The best option then would be to use both Gnome and KDE in Debian Etch and for that request someone who has its DVD to make a copy for you. ;) Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!

Gnome under KDM possible?
by Sachin G Nambiar 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

If you install kde over gnome does it overwrite gdm? i mean does gnome work under kdm? I went through a few links under google but none could give me an answer! Or do the display managers work exclusively as in Gnome by default uses gdm whenever you log into gnome and kde uses kdm whenever i log into KDE? Sachin G. Nambiar

problems with installing ubuntu on an intel ggc based machine Please help.
by krishnakant Mane 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

hello. I had the shock of my life today. I had previously mentioned about a server installation I have to do. I don't find it will be any problem after the feedback I got about fedora. however there is another case which is really very interesting. I am trying to install gnu/linux on a machine with a seluron 2.8 processor and an intel ggc 2 motherboard with ati radeon display (the board is the latest intel mobo) if the case was a very streight forward case I would never have a problem in changing the distro. but I got the following interesting results. 1. ubuntu 6.06.1 (dapper) booted nicely with every device driver but display resolution was very bad probably 640 by 480. 2. ubuntu 6.10 was even more interesting. it did not boot at all on a machine with the same ggc 2 mother board with a seluron processor but booted very well on the same mobo with intel p4 3ghz processor. 3. fedora core 5 did not show up the graphical installer but I managed to install it without any desktop like gnome or kde. so the best part was on all computers ubuntu 6.06 aka 6.06.1 booted without proper display. and ubuntu 6.10 did not boot on the same ggc motherboard with seluron 2.8 processor and booted perfectly well with the same mobo with a p4 3 ghz processor. another small thing although it might not mean any thing. on the seluron and ggc mobo combination 256 mb ddr2 ram is available and on the p4 with ggc mobo 512 ddr2 ram. what shockes me time and again is that how 6.06 boots on every machine being older and 6.10 is so inconsistent. secondly 6.10 not just booted but gave perfect display (umm well at least 800 by 600) on a ggc with p4 and did not boot at all on other seluron machine with same mobo? Please sort out this problem and suggest the perfect distro. Krishnakant.

gnu/linux compatible interactive applications for children
by Abhishek Daga 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi, I am running ubuntu dapper drake and works well for my needs. However now the time has come to introduce some interactive applications for toddlers. Its a long shot but are there any such media companies or specific applications that will run on my system? Examples of such CD/DVDs can be: 1) Learning alphabets and numbers 2) Nursery Rhymes 3) Click n paint and so on. I do have wine installed where i run IE6 and other exe applications. In parallel i will try and install some of those apps and see if it works, but in the meantime if anyone can supply me with some known-to-work names or feedback, I'll appreciate it. Thanks Abhi ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff? Loosen up... Download and play hundreds of games for free on Yahoo!
