u haven't mentionaed the make of the motherbord. there is a option in BIOS for some motherboard or there is a jumper on the motherboard itself. just look for it in ur motherboards manual **one more thing is that PnP option in plug n play support section in the BIOS must be "no" for linux to detect the sound card properly** On Fri, 18 Jul 2003 Tushar Burman wrote : >Hello, > >A bit of a problem with sound on my work i810 motherboard. > >I use 32-ohm AKG headphones and the onboard AC97 sound doesn't >have the >grunt to drive them.

"On Cities, On Water" SYMPOSIUM BEGINS TODAY
by PUKAR Monsoon 19 Jul '03

19 Jul '03

Dear Friends: The PUKAR MONSOON SYMPOSIUM begins today, SATURDAY 19 JULY at 6.00 P.M., with a panel discussion on urban water supply featuring INDU AGARWAL from SPARC (Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres) Mumbai, KALPANA SHARMA, Deputy Editor of The Hindu, Mumbai, and DAVID SATTHERTHWAITE from the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), London, U.K. The PUKAR Monsoon Symposium is a week-long series of panel discussions, film screenings, and presentations by students and researchers, which continues from today until SATURDAY 26 JULY 2003. See below for the complete shedule of activities over the coming week. All the activities in the Monsoon Symposium are free and open to the public, and we particularly encourage students and teachers to attend and participate in the Symposium, which will be followed by workshops and activities in undergraduate colleges in Mumbai on the theme of water and the city. PUKAR Monsoon 2003: "On Cities, On Water" Water as substance and as medium has been central to urban development throughout human history. In Mumbai, as in many other world cities, the modern urban experience is definitively connected to the city's geographical form as island, and its location on the coastline. In the context of globalisation, other dimensions of water, and of the relationship between cities and water are becoming increasingly visible and contested in the public arena -- notably, the privatisation of water resources and the infrastructural networks delivering water. What is the PUKAR Monsoon? The PUKAR Monsoon is an annual series of occassional lectures, workshops and pedagogic activities organised from May to August every year, in which undergraduate college students address a specific theme through a variety of creative approaches to documentation and education of urban life. The aim of PUKAR Monsoon 2003 has been to facilitate debate and reflection, encourage artistic, intellectual and creative expression, and develop hands-on skills in documenting the political and cultural implications of the many connections between cities and water. PUKAR Monsoon 2003 began with the DOC-SHOP -- an eight-day student workshop for students held from 19-27 May 2003 -- and continues with pedagogic activities in undergraduate colleges throughout Mumbai in July and August 2003, when colleges open. For more information, contact Rahul Srivastava or Shekhar Krishnan at 2207 7779, <mailto:monsoon@pukar.org.in>, or visit http://www.pukar.org.in/doc-shop/. SCHEDULE of PUKAR MONSOON 2003 SYMPOSIUM: "On Cities, On Water" Dates: SATURDAY 19 JULY to SATURDAY 26 JULY 2003 Times: Afternoons and Evenings At: PUKAR c/o Aragon Services 4th Floor, Kitab Mahal Dr Dadabhai Naoroji Road Mumbai 400001 Kitab Mahal is next to New Excelsior Cinema, and is near VT Station.

Valteris lives in the region of Klaipeda in Lithuania. Every year when the snow begins to melt, his house and the surrounding fields are flooded. Valteris lives to the rhythm of this spring flood; it is a part of his life. 18.00-19.30 FILM: "Aral: Sea of Thirst" (Jean Afanassieff, 52 minutes, 1999) The Aral Sea has dried up. The 'Big Blue Mirror'of the Kazakhs is now a desert of sand and grasses haunted by the rusting hulls of fishing boats. Fed by two major rivers, the Syr-Dia and Amou-Daria, most of the water of the inland sea of Central Asia was diverted to irrigate cotton and rice fields. Today the intensive crops which were programmed by the Soviets in the 50s have all disappeared and, apart from the little that is left of the inexhaustible resources of the sea, there remains the bitter reality of a desolate environment. The government of Kazakhstan promises a better future in 2030. They have to promise something for the future. For an old fisherman kneeling in front of his grounded boat the only prospect is sand stretching out as far as the eye can see. T U E S D A Y 2 2 J U L Y 2 0 0 3 17.00-17.30 FILM: "20,000 Leagues on the Sea" (Bernard David-Cavaz, 13 minutes, 1995) This documentary is the portrait of a Geophysicist, Jean-Francois Minster, who heads the Laboratory of Oceanography in Toulouse. This reveals the implications of climate changes on human populations, the economy, and life in general like a journey of discovery into a complex and mysterious world. 18.00-19.15 FILM: "Fishing in the Sea of Greed" (Anand Patwardhan, 40 minutes, 1999) followed by discussion with ANAND PATWARDHAN Documentary Film-Maker, Mumbai W E D N E S D A Y 2 3 J U L Y 2 0 0 3 17.00-18.30 VIDEOS: Urban Sanitation, Transport, and Alliances of the Urban Poor followed by discussion with INDU AGARWAL and DEVIKA MAHADEVAN SPARC (Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres), Mumbai 19.00-21.00 FILM: "Living on the River Agano" (Sato Makoto, 115 minutes, 1992) The filmmakers filmed and shared everyday life in Kanose, a town on the River Agano in the Niigata Prefecture. Kanose and nearby Yasuda lie close to the Showa Electric Company factory that has poisoned the river by dumping organic mercury waste.

Parcels of land are turned into rice paddies following the model of the Etang de Thau, and the small vegetable gardens planted on top of the town walls are preserved. Huê, the 19th century Imperial City, reconnects with is traditions and its water heritage. 19.15-18.00 FILM: "The Village of the Mist" (Nina Peliaeva and George Trivano, 12 minutes) At Chungungo, in Northern Chile, rain never falls. Since there are no springs in the village, every week, water is brought to the inhabitants by lorry. However, the village is near the sea, and every morning, a thick mist rises up along the mountain slopes. Scientists have thought up a simple but effective way of collecting the mist to obtain water. Up to 60,000 litres of water per day can be produced when there is mist. This has changed the life of the village.

trouble booting into GNU/LINUX
by Lech Alves 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

Hello linuxers, I recently upgraded my system to an Athlon XP 2000+ , 256 mb DDR RAM , 80 GB HDD , Asus A7N266-VM motherboard with a built in GEFORCE 2 MX display card. I installed red hat 7.3 on the new system (dual boot with windows 98 se running on the primary partition). However when i try to boot into linux i get the following error message : ------------------------------------------------------------------ root(hd0,8) file system type is ext2fs partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hda9 hdc=ide-scsi [linux-bzimage,setup-0x1400,size=0xff8b0] error 28: selected item doesn't fit into memory. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thinking that it could possibly have something to do with the location on the HDD where linux was installed , I reinstalled red hat 7.3 on an old 4.3 GB HDD as the only OS ; still getting the same error though. Could someone please pin point the cause of the problem and suggest a way of getting around it. -- Thanking You'll, Lech.

FLASH NEWS: Trevor spotted in a GLUG meet!
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

Hi guys, Sending in the minutes of the meeting held on 13th July. I put in as much as I could remember, please fill in if I missed anything. First thing to mention is the HUGE turnout for the meet ... the entire KReSIT classroom was filled with people, which means the attendance was roughly in the neighbourhood of 60. And on top of that, if you see faces like Philip, Trevor, Dinesh, Manish, and Terrence in the same meet, you /know/ its BIG! The meeting started out with a session on KDE/Qt programming by Amish Munshi. He talked about the set of tools that go into building a KDE application, with a quick tour of the documentation. Overall impression was the simplicity with which one can build apps the KDE way. After that, though not officially on the agenda, Trevor jumped in with a screeing of "The Code", featuring a lot of the prominent personalities from the FLOSS community. The movie is pretty interesting, and highly recommended for people who aim to convert techies into the FLOSS philosophy. The movie really gives a flavour of the community as a whole and how good software gets done in the Open Source way. An interesting part is where the movie highlights the difference between Open Source and Free Software through their prime advocates ESR and RMS respectively. The next talk was Prof. Jitendra Shah, about the on the ongoing effort on localisation of GNU/Linux for India. He mentioned a website which intends to keep track of the translation efforts and a short introduction to how a non-techie can help in translation. http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~swapnil/indictrans/ Karunakar also demonstrated the IndLinux (Milan) CD based no a re-mastered Morphix CD. The CD has a number of partially completed Indian locales to use normal applications. Answering a doubt raised by Trevor, Karunakar explained that all the work being done in the localisation is already being merged into the mainstream repositories. This means that the new releases of most distros will have built-in Indian Locale support. Debian Sid (unstable) for example, already has Indian Locale support since it is based on bleeding edge package versions. Finally there as a call for volunteers and planning help from SameerDS for a GNU/Linux workshop to be conducted in the IITB Distance Education Program. Such a workshop will be conducted in KReSIT premises, to be attended by participants in 5 different cities over the DEP telecom network. The popular suggestion was to hold this talk for PC Vendors, since they are the best medium to take GNU/Linux to bigger masses such as SOHO users and individuals. The workshop will primarily be a series of talks, to be held on Sunday, 24th of August. Unfortunately, the topic for the venue of the next meet did not come up, which will have to be decided on the List now. Sameer. -- Research Scholar, KReSIT, IIT Bombay http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/

Hello, I have a very basic question regarding mandatory access controls(MACs). Using the following diagram: --------------------- --------------------- | Subject | | Object | --------------------- --------------------- | Clearance | | Classification | | Ex - Top Secret | | Ex - Top Secret | | | | | --------------------- --------------------- In the MAC model the "need-to-know" flag, restricts the subject to access the object. Is this flag, part of the subject's attributes or the object's attributes?

SYMPOSIUM, 19-26 July 2003
by PUKAR Monsoon 14 Jul '03

14 Jul '03

Dear Friends: Please circulate this announcement as widely as possible to UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS in Mumbai. You are cordially invited to the PUKAR MONSOON SYMPOSIUM, a week-long series of panel discussions, film screenings, and presentations by students and researchers on water and the city. The PUKAR Monsoon is an annual series of occassional lectures, workshops and pedagogic activities organised from May to August every year, in which undergraduate college students address a specific theme through a variety of creative approaches to documentation and education of urban life. The aim of PUKAR Monsoon 2003 has been to facilitate debate and reflection, encourage artistic, intellectual and creative expression, and develop hands-on skills in documenting the political and cultural implications of the many connections between cities and water. Water as substance and as medium has been central to urban development throughout human history. In Mumbai, as in many other world cities, the modern urban experience is definitively connected to the city's geographical form as island, and its location on the coastline. In the context of globalisation, other dimensions of water, and of the relationship between cities and water are becoming increasingly visible and contested in the public arena -- notably, the privatisation of water resources and the infrastructural networks delivering water. PUKAR Monsoon 2003 began with the DOC-SHOP -- an eight-day student workshop for students held from 19-27 May 2003 -- and continues with pedagogic activities in undergraduate colleges throughout Mumbai in July and August 2003, when colleges open. For more information, contact Rahul Srivastava or Shekhar Krishnan at 2207 7779, <mailto:monsoon@pukar.org.in>, or visit http://www.pukar.org.in/doc-shop/. See below for the complete schedule of activities, for which we encourage students, teachers, and the public to attend and participate. _____ P U K A R M O N S O O N S Y M P O S I U M : " O n C i t i e s , O n W a t e r " Dates: 19-26 JULY 2003 Times: Afternoons and Evenings At: PUKAR c/o Aragon Services 4th Floor, Kitab Mahal Dr Dadabhai Naoroji Road Mumbai 400001 Kitab Mahal is next to New Excelsior Cinema, and is near VT Station.

Valteris lives in the region of Klaipeda in Lithuania. Every year when the snow begins to melt, his house and the surrounding fields are flooded. Valteris lives to the rhythm of this spring flood; it is a part of his life. 18.00-19.30 FILM: "Aral: Sea of Thirst" (Jean Afanassieff, 52 minutes, 1999) The Aral Sea has dried up. The 'Big Blue Mirror'of the Kazakhs is now a desert of sand and grasses haunted by the rusting hulls of fishing boats. Fed by two major rivers, the Syr-Dia and Amou-Daria, most of the water of the inland sea of Central Asia was diverted to irrigate cotton and rice fields. Today the intensive crops which were programmed by the Soviets in the 50s have all disappeared and, apart from the little that is left of the inexhaustible resources of the sea, there remains the bitter reality of a desolate environment. The government of Kazakhstan promises a better future in 2030. They have to promise something for the future. For an old fisherman kneeling in front of his grounded boat the only prospect is sand stretching out as far as the eye can see.

This reveals the implications of climate changes on human populations, the economy, and life in general like a journey of discovery into a complex and mysterious world. 18.00-19.15 FILM: "Fishing in the Sea of Greed" (Anand Patwardhan, 40 minutes, 1999) followed by discussion with ANAND PATWARDHAN Documentary Film-Maker, Mumbai W E D N E S D A Y 2 3 J U L Y 2 0 0 3 17.00-18.30 VIDEOS: Urban Sanitation, Transport, and Alliances of the Urban Poor followed by discussion with INDU AGARWAL and DEVIKA MAHADEVAN SPARC (Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres), Mumbai 19.00-21.00 FILM: "Living on the River Agano" (Sato Makoto, 115 minutes, 1992) The filmmakers filmed and shared everyday life in Kanose, a town on the River Agano in the Niigata Prefecture. Kanose and nearby Yasuda lie close to the Showa Electric Company factory that has poisoned the river by dumping organic mercury waste.

Parcels of land are turned into rice paddies following the model of the Etang de Thau, and the small vegetable gardens planted on top of the town walls are preserved. Huê, the 19th century Imperial City, reconnects with is traditions and its water heritage. 19.15-18.00 FILM: "The Village of the Mist" (Nina Peliaeva and George Trivano, 12 minutes) At Chungungo, in Northern Chile, rain never falls. Since there are no springs in the village, every week, water is brought to the inhabitants by lorry. However, the village is near the sea, and every morning, a thick mist rises up along the mountain slopes. Scientists have thought up a simple but effective way of collecting the mist to obtain water. Up to 60,000 litres of water per day can be produced when there is mist. This has changed the life of the village.

But whenever I run xine, my x windows system crashes with exit status 11.Is this a known bug or is there some misconfiguration on my part? The x server runs fine all the time otherwise.

Greetings, I have written a application using qt. I was able to compile without any errors. But now when I compile (this is successfull) and run (this is the problem) the pogram it gives the following error. QPaintDevice: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice Segmentation fault Google replied saying that there shouldnt be a static function. I do not know how to ask uic not to create static functions in my dialog_box.cpp. This is the only place where there are static functions. But there is no static work in Makefile or dialog_box.ui. Thanks in advance. Bye.

Microsoft guy talks about his linux experience
by Philip S Tellis 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

The story's up at Newsforge: http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/07/09/1934259.shtml?tid=23 <quote> Let me take a moment to have a heart-to-heart with anyone who thinks he cannot live without a particular application. Applications only aid tasks. Before Windows Notepad there was the physical notepad. Before the word processor, there was the typewriter, before the typwriter a pencil. The key for one looking to get out of the neverending cycle of paying for upgrades to proprietary software is to distinguish between the application and the tasks the application assists with. When you approach things from this angle, finding applications to fulfill tasks in Linux becomes tons easier. </quote> -- Only fools leave witnesses. -HASIMIR FENRING

RE: clarifications on article in NC pg 24-25

11 Jul '03

Morning Mr. Sudhir, With reference to your article on page 32 "Dell Latitude D600", Praveen has done a wonderful job about the same. But when it comes to evaluating the Laptop with Linux, i should there's much to desired. He tries the same with Lindows 3.0 and states the same has failed to work with GUI/X. I do understand that an esteemed publication like yours needs to platform neutral and present the facts as-is. On this side of the line we just expect well researched facts/figures. In case your reporters need help on the same they can always dash couple of emails to me. I do take the onus of helping out if/when possible. But would humbly request well researched articles/facts/figures. One small bad review here....and one there all adds up to a mega mix of publicity we can do without. Just to let you know sir.......personally i use Red Hat Linux on my Dell Latitude and i am more than pleased. Trevor On Fri, 2003-07-11 at 21:55, Sudhir wrote: > Mr.Warren, > Thanks a lot.

clarifications on article in NC
by Trevor Warren 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

Dear Sir, This mail is in reference to your article "BuzzCut", page 12, Network Computing, July 2003. ".............As though the SCO v/s IBM standoff wasn't enough, the Linux battle is going to get murkier as thousands of underlying patented codes from different sources lie within its source. How these patents will affect SCO's claims of intellectual property infringements remains to be seen." This morning was to jolt me so bad that i decided to pen this following email and give your publication a piece of my mind. Sir....these lines as commented in your esteemed magazine don't seem to be well researched. I have been an avid reader for a long time now but such attrocious comments i won't stand for. Besides, i also suggest your publication takes sometime to review the story on how Microsoft post alignment with SCO has got the frailing victim to sue IBM and create the ensuing stir in markets world wide. It just goes to show the kind of cheap tricks mircosoft will play towards creating FUD about the Open Source and Free Software Movement. Rather than get further from the crux of the issue, my humble suggestion would be to give an impartial look to the SCO v/s IBM story in your coming edition since you have already taken the trouble to harness FUD in IT users nationwide with your article. It indeed would help provide readers with clarity on the ETHICS of Microsoft and other Bullies in the market place. PN: * The comments don't represent views of my Employer. * I am not the OFFICIAL MOUTH PEICE mouth peice for the OS-FSF community.

[ILUG-BOM] FYI: Changing order of buttons and command hotkeys in Metacity
by Tahir Hashmi 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Hi all! I use Red Hat Linux 9 with Gnome 2 and till now I was using Sawfish as my window manager instead of Metacity for the following reasons: 1) Metacity doesn't allow "Always on top" kind of functionality 2) Metacity doesn't have kbd shortcuts for running arbitrary commands 3) The close button is right next to maximize so I occasionally ended up closing a window when I meant to max/minimize it. Well, I figured out how to get 2 & 3 done. Fire up Gconf Editor (run command "gconf-editor") and navigate to apps > metacity > general. To modify the ordering of buttons change the value of "button_layout" parameter. Look at the "Key Documentation" pane for information on how to set the values. For mapping commands to keyboard shortcuts, first define commands in apps > metacity > keybinding_commands. You'll find keys like "command_1" through "command_12". Set their values to the commands you want to run. Next, go to apps > metacity > global_keybindings and set the keyboard shortcut for each command_.? as the value of its corresponding run_command_.? key. For example, to lock the screen using key combination Ctrl+Shift+l, do this: - Go to apps > metacity > keybinding_commands - set value of command_2* to "xscreensaver-command -lock" (without quotes) - go to apps > metacity > global_keybindings - set value of run_command_2 to "<Ctrl><Shift>l" (without quotes, with angle brackets) - try Ctrl+shift+l to test your new setting :) * command_1 was set to allow logging off using the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combo, but I suspect it was due my prefs that I set earlier.

DRAFT FAQ... for email users in Goa
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 06 Jul '03

06 Jul '03

RECENTLY, a shiftover of mail-servers in Goa (from Goatelecom to Sancharnet.in) caused quite a few glitches in e-mail access here. Below are some threads from the debate. We are trying to find solutions (many have been found), and seek your help in pointing us in the right direction. Please note that some of the suggestions below are tentative and not tested in all conditions. Hence, your suggestions on these, and pointing out of inaccuracies, would be more than welcome. Kindly send your responses to fred(a)bytesforall.org with subjectline reading EMAIL FAQ... FN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DRAFT FAQ: FOR GNULinux EMAIL USERS IN GOA, INCLUDING THOSE ON SANCHARNET ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compiled by FN for ILUG-Goa It is found that sancharnet does not accept webmail logging from konquerer, but from mozilla it works. I am using RH 7.2. Dialling through kppp script is also not smooth due to long time it takes for password authentication. Has anybody else in the list found the same problem? -- Bijon B Shaha <bbshaha(a)gmx.net> I had to enable the silent option in /etc/ppp/options to enable wvdial to connect. But this connect now takes ages at least 1.5 min from handshake tone to final connection. Is this a problwm with Sancharnet speeds? Or is it a problem with my machine? What's the best and fastest connect setting? I'm using wvdial.. no extra settings in the file. -- Ashely Delaney <delaneyashley(a)softhome.net> > > For me after the silent option I get the connection and it takes around > > 30 secs to connect. That's about as long as it takes for me also... This is almost 20-25 seconds slower then Windows based systems. I tried it out! I don't like my Linux box slower then something else :-( > In wvdial.conf, will Stupid Mode =1 be of use? Nope.. tried that. The stupid thing does just that. Starts ppp before username and password and hence disconnects almost immediately. BTW I must note that with the option passive it took 30 seconds, and with option 'silent' it took 1 min and the next time it disconnected. Any ideas??? -- Ashley Delaney <delaneyashley(a)softhome.net> Wvdial which used to work flawlessly for dialling to goatelecom has become unusable due to long authentication time required by Sanchanet. The program after starting desparelty ppp waits and waits and waits and eventually comes out to start redialling. Has anyone found a solution as many linux users use wvdial for automatic dialling? -Bijon B Shaha <bbshaha(a)gmx.net> I use wvdial and have to enable 'silent' option in /etc/ppp/options to make sancharnet dialing to work with wvdial. However after configuring using debian tool pppconfig and using pon and poff it worked in the first shot. Still there are problems while sending mails using sancharnet smtp. -- Rajesh Fowkar Use PAP authentication without dialup script or terminal. -- Derek Cordeiro <derek_cordeiro(a)gmx.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does anybody know how to configure Mozilla mail to handover outgoing mail to exim? -- Mahesh T Pai Very simple. Just put your outgoing smtp server as localhost (or your machine hostname) Exim listens on the port 25 of your local machine as defined in your inetd.conf file. You don't need to edit it. Just a tip: If you use fetchmail to retrieve your email you can install one of the many available pop3 servers. UW i.e. university of washington pop3, imap is quite good. <derek_cordeiro(a)gmx.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wanna get your hotmail email in a linux email client? Use hotwayd proxy server http://hotwayd.sourceforge.net/ -- Derek Cordeiro <derek_cordeiro(a)gmx.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are problems while sending mails using sancharnet smtp. -- Rajesh Fowkar smra.sancharnet.in requires SMTP authorization. Old email clients do not support authorization. Change your email client. You may not be able to send email using an MTA such as sendmail, postfix, exim etc.. Use an email client directly or get the use of an alternative SMTP server(relayhost) -- Derek Cordeiro <derek_cordeiro(a)gmx.net> Strange -- I had no problems in setting up wvdial. It just worked with same options as for Goatelecom. Regarding the mail sending -- a line on CSI-Goa (Computer Society of India-Goa chapter) list helped. I got three helpful responses. Sancharnet requires authentication for sending mails. I set that option on Sylpheed and it is working. -- Anil Seth <anilseth(a)sancharnet.in> Thats good to hear. But does wvdial.conf have the option Stupid Mode = 1 enabled? Sylpheed supports SMTP auth. Not all email clients support the same. Older versions of kmail -- e.g. kmail on RHL7.2 Debian woody 3.0, Mandrake 8.1 -- do not support smtp auth. MTAs most probably will not support the same as they are full fledged SMTP servers and not any email client like Sylpheed. Sancharnet could, like many other servers, have allowed POP before SMTP authentication so that most users (using sendmail, postfix, old email clients) will be able to use the given SMTP server BTW users of old versions of ppp should use 'passive' instead of 'silent'. -- Derek Cordeiro <derek_cordeiro(a)gmx.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian vs Redhat: In Debian the wvdial package contains a file /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial-pipe whereas in RedHat Lnx the same does not exist. Is it that this file is not important?(Then why does it continue to exist even in Knoppix?) There is a utility called pppstatus in Debian Woody(and Knoppix). The same I downloaded and compiled on Mandrake, RedHat, But it fails to do the job (it provides a terminal interface graph). Has anyone tried it, Any answers? -- Derek Cordeiro I can add a lot to that since yesterday I made a mess of my dialup accounts. Redhat ppp dialer (rather the ifup-ppp script) also uses a file in the same directory. It is created with the names like ppp0, ppp1. It contains the command for connecting to the ISP using wvdial. (These files should actually be temporary and dynamic and should be cleaned up when the connection is closed. My problem may have been a side effect of abnormal terminations.) For the curious, I used a shortcut to make sancharnet correspond to ppp0. The idiot kept dialing goatelecom! I got rid of goatelecom entry in wvdial.conf. It then complained about no phone number. Oh, well. I learnt - short cuts are dangerous. Regarding the ppp status, from my experience with Modem Lights, I would guess that these programs actually use the Modem Lock file for the status. If the modem is using /dev/ttyS0 and the monitoring program is using /dev/modem, the status will not be shown. The file name will be something like /var/lock/LCK..ttyS0 -- Anil Seth <anilseth(a)sancharnet.in> These files i.e. ppp0, ppp1 to my knowledge only contain a command wvdial with different options. The file "wvdial-pipe" contains pppd options like "noipdefault" etc. That's the reason I want to know it's significance.(It does not contain the command wvdial) The RedHat Network control creates ppp0, ppp1,...only upto version 8.0. RHL 9.0 directly edits the /etc/wvdial.conf file. There are additional settings in /etc/sysconfig/network(network-scripts) folder-- Derek Cordeiro ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ILUG-Goa, a network with a difference: sharing software, knowledge and ideas ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

sendmail problem

Dear Friends, I'm using RedHat 8 with sendmail 8.12.5. I'm facing a lot of problems while writing rules & mailer. My requirement is to process all the relay mails depending on recipient users(which i'll create in a db) & if user exists there then it will rewrite envelope address & use predefined smtp server (which is not in dns), a local server whose ip address is available.

debian cramfs? kernel panic unable to mount
by Satya 05 Jul '03

05 Jul '03

On boot, Debian shows a prompt: wait 5 seconds, or hit enter for a shell prompt. On my system, if I hit enter I get a shell prompt but none of the commands work (everything: not found). Anyway, if I then exit the shell, it eventually says cramfs: wrong magic and kernel panic: unable to mount root fs blah. But if I don't drop to the shell, don't touch anything, it still says cramfs: wrong magic, but boots anyway without any panics. What's going on? -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> As easy as 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716

[ILUG-BOM] Printing - Saving color for Web Pages with background images?
by Subba Rao 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

Hello, I would like to know if there is anyway to avoid printing the background images of Web pages. These images are using up the color cartridges fast. If the Web page is 1 or 2 pages long then it is not a problem. The problem is with 10+ pages where the Web page background images uses up all the ink. Is there any way to avoid print the backgroud images on Web pages? All I want is the content and any pertinent diagrams on the page to be printed. Thank you in advance for any help. -- Subba Rao subba9(a)cablespeed.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old American Wild West saying: God created men but Colt made them equal.

nspluginviewer does not work for particular user
by Amish Mehta 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

Hello All, I have some strange problem arising from no where since last 3-4 days. I have 3 users on my machine, amish, deepak and root. I am trying to run a realplayer song locally as well as through apache. I try these 2 commands. 1) konqueror /home/amish/public_html/songs/myfavsong.ram 2) konqueror http://192.168.1.1/~amish/songs/myfavsong.ram Both worked fine and played the song earlier(before 3-4days). However, since 3-4days, if I login as user 'amish', I can not run the song using second command and konqueror hangs. Then I have to kill nspluginviewer so that konqueror starts working (it still doesnt play the song). No sooner I kill nspluginviewer I get following error on terminal. DCOP aborting call from 'konqueror-<pid>' to 'nspluginviewer-<pid>' Both the commands still work if run as root or deepak, first command works for all. As far as I remember I have not made any changes to system. So I dont know whats going wrong. Mostly its nspluginviewer or some problem with something related to DCOP or some configuration. But I dont know what. Or can it be some konqueror security related to local browsing and web browsing, like in IE? But where are such options? I would be thankful if someone has solution. Thank you. Amish.

Release of GNOWSYS Version 0.4
by Nagarjuna G. 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

Release notes for GNOWSYS version 0.4. GNOWSYS: Gnowledge Networking and Organizing System. Useful for knowledge/content management, semantic web, building ontologies, building portal sites, link management etc. Learn more about it from http://www.gnowledge.org. In this version of GNOWSYS we have added a number of new modules. The core GNOWSYS engine of the earlier releases has been improved with better catalogue support. 1. Changes to GNOWSYS Core Semantic Engine: Amongst the main improvements to the core engine over GNOWSYS version 0.3 is that now the catalog support has been improved. All the Object Types, Objects, Association Types, and Associations entries are catalogued. Facet Types and Occurrence Types are yet to be fully supported by Catalog. This feature can be effectively used for large gnowledge bases, since ZOPE catalog increases the response time. In future releases Facet Types and Occurrence Types will also be catalogued. In GNOWSYS 0.4 the User Interface has also been changed. Amongst improvements to user interface. The layout of the index_html for an Object and an Object Types has been changed. We tried to get all the metadata of the objects visible. This may make the system a little slow, but useful for the users to know how to query for the most useful metadata of the objects. Users can modify all of this since we copy the entire template as dtml files in the instance. In association types now we have new associaton type called as rigid associations. By rigid association we mean: when an object is installed as an instance of an object type, which is defined as a role in a rigid association type, then the association will be automatically made. This works more like an RDBMS relation between two tables. Apart from these changes there are numerous other small changes and bug fixes. 2. New modules in GNOWSYS. In this release a number of new modules have been added, they are as follows. 1. Functional Representation (Execute) 2. Graphical Representation (Draw Maps) 3. Import Export (XML Data Exchange, TopicMaps (XTM)) 4. Publishing Module (Publish) Modules 2 and 4 may not work in non-UNIX operating systems without lot of tweaking. Most of this is due to the use of external programs like TeX and MetaPost. In future we will make this truly interoperable. 3. In future we will have: - authentication module (multi-user, role based with integration with the ObjectType Members), - work-flow (keeping track of objects and status), - RDF and OIL support for data exchange to make it ready for semantic web community. - XUL GUI for editing GNOWSYS sites effortlessly from Mozilla/Netscape and using a GTK/QT client. - UTF-8 support - skins or at least a style sheet - optimizing for speed - and improving all the above and continueing to fix bugs. Examples illustrating the use of GNOWSYS will be made and linked from the project website: http://www.gnowledge.org Happy gnowing!

Do check www.freebsd.org for more information. For example, press, publicity and the like are discussed on freebsd-advocacy. There is no 'certification' on FreeBSD that I'm aware of." Koshy is also the self-described "founder-manager-programmer-peon" of the Indic-Computing Project (http://indic-computing.sf.net) NOT FLOSS, BUT BASED ON IT: The South Asia IT list run by Irfan Khan from nearby Pakistan is an interesting source of news on how IT can help this sub-continent get a better life for its millions. It's not directly focussed on FLOSS, but runs on a Free Software platform (Mailman). See the s-asia-it mailing list at http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/s-asia-it ......................................................................... . . FIRST PERSON... TEMPTING SOLUTION? Prof G. R. Bhat <grbhat(a)exocore.com> . formerly of the Goa University, describes his experience with Reliance, a . big player in the Indian mobile world. This comes in via the ILUG-Goa . mailing list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ilug-goa : . . Hi, I was at the Reliance web world last night with my notebook just to . check whether the rconnect service works as advertised at least for Linux. . We reached there just as they were about to close for the day (8.30 pm), . but the person there was gracious enough to let us in and allowed us to . outstay our welcome for whopping hour and a half after closing time while . we put the service through a "linux compatibility" test. . . The staff there was unaware of Linux but again thats OK. They were sales . and marketing, not technical and hence forgiven ;). The Binary ran fine on . Redhat 9 (my notebook) - it asked me what device I was using (USB or . Serial). I said USB, so it went and made /dev/rmodem a soft link to . /dev/usb (strange!) and then proceeded to change /etc/ppp/options, . /etc/ppp/ip-up.local and /etc/ppp/ip-down.local without any warning (and . without backing up my versions). The README clearly said that my files . would be backed up with a .old extension. My ip-up/down files are pretty . much standard so no problem there. But this could be a major problem for . those who do a lot of magic in their up/down scripts . Back Up!. . . After all this - when I ran the prescribed "rconnect" it did not work. . . That's when I checked the stuff that was going on under the pretty . interface. I doubt if it installed any driver on my notebook. Once I . figured that all they were using was a dialout (the ususal pppd + chat) . script coupled with some changes to files in /etc/ppp, and making a blind . softlink with whatever device was entered in the installer form, I decided . to try my luck myself rather than use the install program, . . I got the Samsung handset to dial out using the standard USB ACM Modem . drivers that come with RH9 (modprobe ub-uhci; modprobe acm), changed the . /dev/rmodem to point to /dev/input/ttyACM0 (my /var/log/messages told me . that the stock RedHat9 USB ACM driver had attached itself to this device) . and ran the script that came with rconnect. . . It works! . . I got an IP assigned to me and my /etc/resolv.conf was set correctly to . point to the Reliance DNS server (I had usepeerdns in /etc/ppp/options) . and I happily pointed my browser to www.gnu.org :). The service was great . (no one in the shop hassled us to leave inspite of the fact that it was . well past closing time, In fact they watched with a lot of interest and . gave me free run of the place), but the bandwidth was much lower than what . I expected - about 1.7K/s consistently from 9 pm to 9.45 pm on the night . of 25 June. Did I buy it? Well I didn't yesterday on account of the rather . poor bandwidth that I got, but I will be definitely waiting and watching . the throughput on my friends handsets with a lot of interest. . . A mobile IP gateway that I can carry around is too good to resist :) . ........................................................................ THE WORK IS ON: G Karunkar <karunakar(a)freedomink.org> reports in a different context that you can find some resources and links to groups working on different Indian languages at http://www.indlinux.org. Says he: "We are also working on a bootable CD with Indic support (right now based on Morphix). The Indic components come as a seperate release (see http://www.indlinux.org/downloads/ ), which can be installed on any distro (with a bit of tweaking though). There will be another release next week which will work on RH 8/9, MDK 9.x and Debian unstable (with Gnome 2.2)." Karunakar, a low-profile and hard-working campaigner on the Indic computing front, adds that since much of their current work is based on Gnome 2, you need to have that if you wish to use the IndLinux-Hindi release. Adds he: "The stuff is all bare bones, not good for any production use. That'ss still few months away -- till we have KDE, Gnome, Openoffice, Mozilla etc all supporting Indic at all levels." LINKING YOUNG TECHIES, MENTORS: Project Resource Centre is a mailing list and network that puts students and young techies in touch with potential mentors. It also gives them a chance to discuss their ideas and get feedback. More details from http://mail.sarai.net/mailman/listinfo/prc GOING FAR MORE DEEPER: Comments Mahesh T Pai, LL.M. of Kochi (http://in.geocities.com/paivakil): "The approach by the guys at indlinux.org takes language far more 'deeper' into the OS than (attempts by proprietorial software). Language enabling is much more than mere translation of help files, enabling fonts, and input methods. The KBIPS is directly involved with Free Software Foundation-India (at least, that is what I understand, about the FSF-India's involvement) for enabling Malayalam on GNU/Linux systems." Mahesh, a close and perceptive watcher of the Free Software scene in India, can be contacted via paivakil(a)vsnl.net Says he: "I believe that the Indlinux team has spent far less during its entire existence that what (proprietorial software major players have) spent on a single foreign jaunt for its team leader/s. Not that I grudge the individuals' benefits; but I cannot help reacting when the government subsidises efforts, fruits will be controlled by private corporates while giving a cold shoulder to efforts which would be under public control." CALLING VOLUNTEERS: Linux-india.org website is expected to get an overhaul, with volunteers coming forward to support the work of webmaster Raj Mathur. If you'd like to volunteer too, contact Raj Mathur raju(a)kandalaya.org http://kandalaya.org/ ADAPTING LINUX TO INDIA: Venky <venky(a)indlinux.org>, a persistent lobbyist on this front, said in a public discussion: "One issue that is important in terms of adapting ICT to Indian needs is that the technology should speak the user's language. At IndLinux (www.indlinux.org) we have been working on adapting the Linux operating system to Indian languages and have done a significant amount of work in Hindi. We would like to get an active group going in Punjabi too so that Punjabi-literate individuals too can benefit from using computers. Can you please help us get volunteers who can translate computer terms like "files", "folders" etc to Punjabi?" 'PIRACY'... AS A FAKE CONCEPT: "The concept of piracy being propagated by multinational companies is fake and do not hold water in the perspective of our social commitment. I feel we have to launch resistance and fight against it," said Manabendra Mukherjee, West Bengal's minister for information technology and environment department, while delivering a lecture at a seminar on `Linux initiative in e-Governance applications'. See http://www.business-standard.com/today/story.asp?Menu=23&story=17114 INDIANIZATION, INTERNATIONALIZATION: Jaco Aizenman <jaizenman(a)fsc.cc> of the Free Software Consortium is looking out for Indian supporters to help with the internationalization of their "Government Distro". This Free Software package is being launched in July 2003, by this global organisation "dedicated to the promotion and commercialisation of Free Software" The Government Distro is a compilation of programs widely used by the public sector in Brazil, Argentina and Spain. It contains the GNU/Linux Operating System, an Office-like suite called Open Office, email and instant messenger, a calendar, a database, a web browser application and many other programs. Say its promoters: "All these applications have been used and tested previously in dozens of Latin American and European users, in order to certify their functionality. They have all been designed by highly talented programmers from all around the world." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR INPUTS and criticism to this newsletter are welcome.

VNC at 1024x768 resolution??
by Subba Rao 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

Hello I am accessing a Linux system via the VNC server. The VNC client is running on Win2K. After the connection is established, the VNC client window opens up as a 800x600 window. The XF86Config is using the resolution at 1024x768. Some of the items from the Linux system are going beyond the VNC client boundry. When I try to maximize the window, the display is still at 800x600 with broad dark strips around the window. The display resolution on Win2K is greater than the 1024x768 resolution. How can I increase my VNC Client to show the Linux system at 1024x768 resolution? Thank you in advance. -- Subba Rao subba9(a)cablespeed.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old American Wild West saying: God created men but Colt made them equal.

[Commercial] Migration services required
by Prakash Advani 28 Jun '03

28 Jun '03

A leading information services company plan to shift its entire Windows backend infrastructure to Linux. They are looking for companies which can help them migrate successfully as well as provide them with good support. They are a 24 hours operation so support infrastructure must be in place. There should be zero down time in the migration and it has to be a scalable architecture. If anyone is interested in taking this up, write to me directly (not on the list) at prakash at netcore.co.in. Here is their current infrastructure. - Windows 2000. - SQL Server - ASP/VB Scripts. - 10-15 records queried every second. - 8 GB of data. Windows cannot handle the kind of load :-) so they are looking at migrating to Linux, PostgreSQL/MySQL,PHP/JSP, etc. They are open to suggestions.

iptables - packet marking
by linuxdev 28 Jun '03

28 Jun '03

I know of packet marking in iptables. But could anyone enlighten me which field of an ip packet does the netfilter, mark ?? Is it related with the marking scheme in QoS ?? i could find no doc stating exactly which field of a packet is marked. I tried netfilter.org, google to no avail. i felt tcpdump is a roughshod way to figure it out so decided to ask. thanks, C Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.

Whenever a very generic question is asked on the list by a newbie, a suitable mail/template can be picked from the collection and posted. One individual (with the ability to judge when/what to post) could be assigned for this work at any point of time, and responsibility can be rotated periodically. Admin to start with?

Of Intel, AMD, Apple and IBM
by Amol Hatwar 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

Hi, I wonder if anyone has been noticing this lately... Apple recently announced the new G5 as the fastest PC in the industry. AMD has done some Intel creaming too. But very few know what's common between them. It's IBM. PowerPC chips that run on Macs are developed at IBM. How's AMD connected then? AMD's design team runs from an IBM chip design facility. Seems that IBM will help AMD and Apple develop the newer 64 bit platforms. Ahem... the new G5 is 64 bit (P4 is 32 bit). First, maybe AMD wants to sell itself. Second, maybe IBM wants to make sure that Intel has some competition. Whatever may be the going-ons but I think IBM is trying to do something major here... Any insights anyone? Regards, ah

emails on the list
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

Hi all, It would be nice if people took the following steps when writing to the list: 1. Do not top-post. When you quote an earlier message, be sure to quote _only_ the relevant parts, and write your reply _below_ the quoted matter. Please do not just start your reply on top of a quoted message - such messages go on increasing size so that the actual information content goes down with every reply. 2. Use the standard lead-in "> " (greater-than and a space" to mark quoted text. Most email clients are designed to recognise this character sequence, making the messages more readable. 3. When someone posts simple questions like "permission denied, what do I do?" or "how do I uninstall foobar rpm?" I think its better if list members provide pointers to newbie documentation instead of spoon-feeding the answers. Sameer.

FocusLost event in Qt

Hello all, I want to capture focusLost event on some of the Qt widgets. I want to update some other widgets depending on this event. I know that I can override virtual method focusOutEvent, but doing so for most of the widgets I use is something I dont like. Is this the only way or am I missing something here??
