Connected to the internet (MTNL Triband) using USB in Kubuntu 6.06
by Roshan 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Hello List, I was trying to connect to the internet using different Live CDs including Freespire, Ubuntu 6.10, Xubuntu 6.10. through the USB port that was conne cted to the ADSL (Dlink 502-T) router. Somehow, all the above didn't manage to configure the device automatically on boot up, though Ubuntu 6.10 listed the device on the device manger. I finally tried Dapper Drake (Kubuntu 6.06) and it automatically configured the device (allocating IP address through DHCP) and Konqueror (my smart browser - as I call it) proved that the device is working and I'm connected to the internet. I wonder, if Ubuntu has the same base as Kubuntu, why didn't ubuntu do it? AFAIK, the desktop environment is the different, but the base is same, isn't it? (This was on Dell E1405 running the Kubuntu 6.06 Live CD). If one can list steps, that I probably had to follow for Ubuntu 6.10, please let me know. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC - http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc Send a FREE SMS to your friend's mobile from Yahoo!

It's a really cool project by some good people to resolve all the nasty proprietary issues around video - including flash animation. Normal is really boring, after all!

Kububtu 6.10 DVD Installation.
by Rony 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hello All, I am so happy. :) Finally I got rid of Etch testing and installed my long awaited Kubuntu 6.10 dvd. It has more boot options than 6.06 and the dvd has a server version included. So for installing a server one has to type 'server' or 'server-expert' at boot prompt. There is an option for command line only install in the main menu itself. Its paint program is much improvised from the earlier one that was like M$ Paint. This one has 'Krita' which has good features like photoshop or gimp. I love KDE. Long live KDE. Cheers to all the KDE guys. Keep up the good work. Multimedia audio/video is not proper as usual even after all the upgrades and codec installations. But thats normal in Linux. Open media formats play fine. Finally, those who have always been searching for an option to boot any Ubuntu cd into a live root console only, I found the solution from the net. Simply use the option that allows you to edit the boot string and add 'single' at the end of the line and hit enter. This boots the system live into a root prompt without asking for a password. I have hunted for this in the cd menu itself but could never find it. I tried 1 and rescue but that did not help. I recollect using 'single' for Red Hat. -- Regards, Rony.

Configuring sendmail to work with gmail hosted domain
by Vinayakam Murugan 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello We have moved our domain hosting to gmail recently. We want to continue using our linux server as our local post office. The problem faced is that the sender's email address is sent as the user whose credentials are used for authentication. Suppose xyz(a)mydomain.com is the user whose credentials are used for authentication, then mail sent by me go out as Vinayakam Murugan ( xyz(a)mydomain.com) instead of (vinayak(a)mydomain.com) which was the case earlier. We have added the following lines to my sendmail.mc LOCAL_CONFIG C{VirtHost}mydomain.com <http://o-i.com/> FEATURE(`nocanonify') define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE',`true') define(`confME_TOO',`true') define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS',e) define(SMART_HOST,mydomain <http://mail.w-o-i.com/>.com <http://o-i.com/>) dnl define(`SMTP_MAILER_MAXRCPTS',`1') MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com <http://o-i.com/>') define(`confMAX_MESSAGE_SIZE',`10000000') FEATURE(`always_add_domain') FEATURE(`allmasquerade') FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain') FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=465,Addr=10.0.0.1, Name=MTA') Any pointers to what might be going wrong would be helpful. -- Warm Regards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vinayak http://theregoesanotherday.blogspot.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you aim to fly, then don't hang around with chickens.
