I am a Linux novice, used to Win32 so far. Autopartition threw some error messages I couldnt fathom, & disk druid has a maze of options that left me dizzy. I have 4 partitions of which one (F: in windows) is 11Gb on which I wish to install Linux. C: has Win98. Is there a really simple or ready way that I can just select this drive(hda7 or whatever) & install linux & swap partition & stuff on it ? BTW I'm trying out PCQlinux 8.0 Thanks, --Royce.

[HUMOUR] The evil behind Linux
by bagheera1980 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Hello everyone, Here is a very funny piece about Linux. Hope u enjoy it. From: Egg Troll (eggtroll(a)yahoo.com) Subject: Is Linux a Machination of Satan? Newsgroups: alt.fan.jesus-christ, comp.os.linux, comp.os.linux.advocacy, alt.religion.christian, talk.atheism Date: 2002-05-18 11:27:46 PST Hello, Recently I've been introduced to an operating system known as Linux. Lured by its low cost, I replaced Windows 98 on my computer with Linux. Unfortunately the more I use it the more I fear that this "Linux" may be an insidious way for the Dark One to gain a stronger foothold here on Earth. I know this may be a shocking claim, but I have evidence to back it up! To begin with, Linux runs numerous background processes. These processes are usettlingly termed "demons." Furthermore in order to start or stop these "demons" a user must execute a command called "finger". By "fingering" a "demon" one excercises an unholy power, much the same way that the Lord of Flies controls his black minions. Also consider some of these other Linux commands: "sleep", "mount", "unzip", "strip" and "touch". All highly suggestive in a sexual nature. I know that our Lord cannot approve of these, and I urge them to be renamed to something appropriate to the Christian community. Third, Linux uses a flavor of DOS known as Bash. Bash is an acronym for "Bourne Again Shell". On the surface this would appear to be supportive of the Lord. However, remember that even Satan can quote the bible for his own purposes! While I believe Linux may be born-again, its obvious by the misspelling of "born" that its not born-again in an Christian church. Will the lies ever cease? Additionally, one of the main people involved with the GNU Free Software Foundation supports contraception and abortion. His web site even advocates government support of contraception. He also wears fake halos, and has quips about his made-up church that relates to his free software. I find such blasphemy to be extremely unsettling. One must also remember that the creator of Linux, a college student named Linux Torvaldis, comes from Finland. I'm sure all the followers of Christ are aware of the heritical nature of the Finnish: from necrophilia to human sacrifice, Finnish culture is awash in sin. I find little reason to believe anything good and holy could arise from this evil land. Finally, let us remember that there is an alternative to using the Satan-powered Linux. I think history has shown us that Microsoft is quite holy. I'm told that its founder, William Gates is a strong supporter of our Lord and I encourage my fellow Christians to buy only his products to help keep the Devil at bay.

>I recently installed linux 8.0 >But facing some problems: >1. Unable to detect modem To check whether your modem is detected try wvdialconf (maybe that probably might help) >2. Unable to access data of windows from linux and vice-versa How did you try to access the windows partition.You should know in which partition windows is installed and then try to mount that partition(e.g suppose i have hda1 as my primary windows partition(C: drive) give the command mount /dev/hda1 mountpoint(any dir), and if it still complains try to give the type of the partition(VFAT,NTFS etc) with the mount command.) You should have the module support/builtin for the required partition type in the kernel before doing this.try doing cat /proc/filesystems to see the supported filesystems. >3. Where to do programming unable to find editor etc. i didnt get this question. >4. where are files of linux source code stored as it as open >source > software the source code should be present in /usr/src/linux-version if you installed the sources >5. Linux automatically boots after 7 seconds. Can this setting >be changed OK.once you boot into linux,as root open the file /etc/lilo.conf and edit the timeout=tsecs value. This sets a timeout (in tenths of a second) for keyboard input.If no key is pressed for the specified time, the first image is automatically booted. you can also change the default image to load by this parameter default=name of the label u have given(e.g linux/dos/windows etc) rohit Life is a sexually transmitted disease.

hi deepali, i can help you as much i can on mails, but iam not a guru on the topic though.You will find the links iam sending with this mail REALLY helpful.If u face any other problems then let me know. very good for writing a basic filesystem http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2002/cs3210_fall/p5/p5.html another site to understand the basic VFS layer http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2002/cs3210_fall/p5/p5.html this is the list of filesystems under development http://www.falconweb.com/~mattg/linuxfs/ You have to do some digging, but to do look at the code of ramfs/romfs(/usr/src/linux/fs/ramfs or romfs) to get the knowledge of how to write a simple linux filesystem module. I guess if u do some reading of the kernel sources and with these links you will be up with a simple filesystem module.If you face any problems you can contact me in this group or mail me. rohit Life is a sexually transmitted disease.

[OT]Suggestions for a Notebook
by Sthitaprajna 27 Apr '03

27 Apr '03

Hi I am looking to buy a notebook(my first one) and am sort of confused. The sort of specs I am looking at are (for a minimum): 1. 1.7 GHz Celeron 2. 256M RAM(expandable to quite a lot) 3. Some sort of 4x agp 4. 30G hdd 5. Internal combo cd/dvd/writer 6. Should be decently compatible with *nix...I will be on a LAN, so modem support is not really important, though it would be a plus if it were supported. My budget would be something around $1200... Can listers suggest a few models/makes that have decent support in India? and any other points that i need to be aware of before buying?

hi-- The Dell Inspiron and Toshiba Satellite (which I own) are good buys for that price.I dont know about the availability of both those though back in India.Dell sells laptops here in the US only thru their website. they have good support for Linux.I have Mdk 9.0 running on my Toshiba Satellite 1400-S105 (1.2GHz celeron,256 megs ram, 30gb hdd, Intel EEpro ethernet card,CyberAlladin-T video accelerator card).The internal modem doesnt work on Linux.but i have no issues otherwise. also you might want to think about the Apple I-book, the entry level ones are sub 1000$.how about installing Linux PPC? regards -Nikhil >I am looking to buy a notebook(my first one) and am sort of confused.

I am trying to install Redhat 9 on ASUS (A7N266-VM) Motherboard having AMD XP 2200+ (1.8Ghz) processor. After installation the system freezes on: "Finding module dependencies:" I dont know how to go about getting my Redhat 9 to work. Its a dual boot with Windows. I am using LILO as my Boot-Loader. My keyboard locks up as well as I can't do Ctrl + C at that point. Is there some specific kernel parameter required for AMD Systems? Or is there any other linux distro which would work on this system. TIA. Rupessh

[OT] Is your PC legal?
by Nikhil Joshi 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

Hi! I've observed that somehow people advocating Linux bring morality into picture. They argue about illegal (pirated) Windows and how bad it is (morally) to use one. Here is a checklist for all those paranoid about having their PC legal: (Please add to this list something that I might have missed ) 1. Is your PC or some part of it ( RAM,HDD,graphics card ) bought from grey market ? If yes you can safely assume that it is illegal. The required taxes have been evaded. 2. Do you have Mp3z on your Hard-Disk? Linux or Windows , they are completely illegal ( Why are you making MP3z if you own the CD ? If for giving it to friends then thats illegal too !). Its illegal even if you have burnt them on your CD instead of keeping them on your HDD 3. Do you have DivX/MPEG files of latest movies ? It is illegal. 4. Does your homepage/HDD have gif's. Arguably they are illegal too. (Some compression patent problems I believe) Here's my PC's status: 1. Bought from grey market. I lose the battle in first step itself ;) 2. Yep not a single mp3 on my HDD. 3. not a single MPEG/DivX 4. Dont have a homepage so no gif's created by me that are on the HDD My point: Windows user is on equal moral grounds (regarding legality of his/her PC) if a Linux user satisfies any of the criteria. There cannot be something less illegal. Either it is legal or it is not. P.S. (While I may be sounding Windows advocate let me tell you that I have only two OS'es on my PC : Linux and Dos (the command.com from the rescue disk of Windows 98, which is licensed, but not mine. I guess that's legal too as Microsoft, I guess, does not say that you must possess a legal copy of Windows 98 to use the command.com , Anywayz I use command interpreter of FreeDos) Nikhil

Unusual Problem using Java Plugin with Mozilla
by Rajen M. Parekh 20 Apr '03

20 Apr '03

Hi all, I have installed JRE 1.4.0 downloaded from Sun Microsystems. I am trying to run a java applet in Mozilla, but I am facing an unusual problem. When I am running mozilla as a normal user, it crashes if I try to load the java applet. But if I run mozilla as root, then the java applet is correctly loaded and runs smoothly. I can't figure out the problem. I read the java installation docs and the setup seems to be perfectly allright. I have also checked out mozilla.org. But my problem is a bit different, since the applet is running if I run mozilla as root, but not otherwise. Any pointers ? I am using Red Hat Linux 8.0. (Full Installation - i.e. installed all the packages), and Mozilla 1.0.1. Regards, Rajen. P.S. 1 : I still haven't found a solution for being able to use all the fonts (True Type) installed on the system, while using some gtk+ applications. Eg. Abiword, Gnumeric, Gedit, etc. I had posted a mail earlier in this regard. Still awaiting for some feedback. P.S. 2: For Pine users moving towards GUI, I recommend Open Webmail (a Web based Email Client). Has most (not all) of the features of Pine. Additionally has facility for accessing POP3 mails. What I miss most is the keystrokes of Pine. With Mozilla, I have yet to get used to finding the right keys. But GUI users comfortable with using mouse should find it worth giving a try. -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)

[OFFTOPIC] Please help, looking for framegrabbers for linux
by Rahul Saxena 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Hello, We ( students Fr. CRCE, final year, BE electronics ) are doing a project for developing a system similar to the ones used in robosoccer. (http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~robosoccer/) NO one we know of has implemented the whole robosoccer system yet, in India. One of the major aspects of this involves using real-time image processing for finding out the locations of robots and the ball in the game. We have developed most of the stuff using IntelOpenCV computer vision library and using personal USB webcams, however we are not able to get the required performance with these cameras.. *the frame rate is really slow ( average 2 fps ) *the image quality is also bad we are wondering if anyone can lend us any frame grabber cards which have linux drivers, for a couple of weeks, so that we can really test the efficiency of our routines and stuff like that. we can use both the routines and the webcam under windows, but then really we will be missing the point of doing a project like this ! any pointers are appreciated !

Misuse of 'hacker', again
by Manish Jethani 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Here's yet another great example of the gross misuse of the term 'hacker' by the under-informed media: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2003/tc20030416_7638_tc02… A quick search on google, for some background: http://www.google.com/search?q=misuse+of+term+hacker Imagine how angry a Muslim would be at an article titled "Should You Hire a Muslim?"--the author going by the assumption that all Muslims are terrorists. If you're a Muslim living in the US post 9/11, or if you have Muslim friends in a similar situation, you'll understand what I mean. Just as all Muslims are not terrorists (it's a real, real shame we have to explain this to some over-patriotic jerk in the US), all hackers are not social outlaws who break into systems to steal private data or cripple the system. A good hacker is capable of such stuff, and some hackers do, but the vast majority don't! Kevin Mitnick *might* be a hacker--I don't know, I don't care. Even if he is a hacker, he's also a guy, white, American, etc. and his name begins with 'K'. Is it fair to say that all white American guys whose names begin with 'K' are criminals? A hacker is only as likely to be a lawbreaker as, say, a carpenter, doctor, sportsperson, soldier, musician, lawyer (yes!) or even policeman. I'm proud to be associated with the hacker community of GNU, Linux and the Internet, and I urge my fellow hackers to raise their voices against such tarnishing use of our name. -Manish -- disclaimer: "The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation."

Linux, Immature?
by Amol Hatwar 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

Hi all, There was this link I followed from slashdot. It's a Computer Weekly article which documents Novell calling Linux as an immature OS. In case you're wondering, "Who will make it mature and industrial strength?" -- Novell will! Here's the link: http://www.computerweekly.com/articles/article.asp?liArticleID=121012 It's hight time all of us mailed Novell telling them _it's GNU/Linux_ and it is already a mature OS. So mature that it makes software companies are strangulate their own OS projects. Or maybe we could all mail them saying that, "Geee you're right, Linux is immature. But hey! have you tried GNU/Linux... it's more powerfull than most Linuxes out-there". Tch.. tch... management speak :) Warm wishes, Amol Hatwar. ___________________________________________ It's most certainly GNU/Linux, and not Linux.

Invitation to DOC-SHOP, 19-23 May 2003
by PUKAR Monsoon 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

Dear Friends: Please circulate this announcement as widely as possible to UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS in Mumbai. To register for the PUKAR Monsoon Doc-Shop, or for more information, contact Sanjay Bhangar at 3105 0246 (mobile), 2494 5046 (residence), Shonali Sarda at 3259 5974 (mobile), or Rahul Srivastava or Shekhar Krishnan PUKAR at 2207 7779 or <mailto:monsoon@pukar.org.in>. Regards, Rahul Srivastava, Shekhar Krishnan, Shonali Sarda and Sanjay Bhangar _______ PUKAR Monsoon 2003 DOC-SHOP, 19-23 May 2003 WHAT IS A DOC-SHOP? "Doc-Shop" is a shorthand term for "documentation workshop". In a Doc-Shop, undergraduate students will discuss acts of documentation as a creative and critical exercise, and simultaneously gain hands-on experience with various old and new media technologies. WHY DOCUMENTATION? Today all of us deal with information in great abundance. The Internet is a huge archive of information with massive streams of ideas, discussions and stories flowing through its networks. This makes special demands on us as creative and critical people. Any creative and critical engagement today means also learning to deal with such enormous archives, and understanding how they are made. Participating in a Doc-Shop is one such form of engagement. Doc-Shops help us to develop our conceptual skills and make sense of archives shaped through new media and digital technologies. They equip us to document the world on our own terms. The world around us is mediated by new technologies that shape our perceptions acutely. Yet most of us do not have access to these technologies, nor are we encouraged to shape the mediated reality around us. PUKAR views documentation not simply as a passive act of recording reality, but an active, creative process that allows us to participate in the construction of reality around us. PUKAR MONSOON DOC-SHOP in MAY 2003 Between 19 and 23 May 2003, PUKAR shall be conducting the Doc-Shop, as part of PUKAR Monsoon 2003. The Doc-Shop will be a week-long series of workshops that encourage hands-on learning of technical skills and equipment, and foster a critical and intellectual engagement with the terms and practices of documentation. The Doc-Shop will be facilitated by a group of resource persons: artists, media producers, documentalists and activists. The PUKAR Monsoon 2003 theme, "On Cities, On Water" will be the main content of the Doc-Shop. The Doc-Shop is open to all undergraduate students in Mumbai, and will be held for about 20 students. The Doc-Shop will culminate in the production of a small archive of images and words and other productions which can be used in further phases of the PUKAR Monsoon 2003 from June to August 2003 (see below). Each day will consist of a morning "reading-cum-discussion" session. These will be followed by afternoon "practicals" that will enable the hands-on use of different technologies. After five days, we hope that small groups of students will form who work on specific projects -- a short video, photo-essay, radio or sound story, a piece of fiction or an essay, or any other creative form -- on the PUKAR Monsoon theme of "On Cities, On Water" (see below). The small documentary projects will be exhibited publicly in the week following the Doc-Shop, and will form the basis of future events with local and international audiences in the PUKAR Monsoon 2003. DAY 1: The Moving Image Documentary films have a complex story of relating to the modern world, and we begin our Doc-Shop by reflecting on this story. Does the movie camera capture reality as a given? Or does it shape it through the selective eye of the movie-maker? What sense do we make of the huge archive of documentaries that exist today, and how do we evaluate their contribution to our understanding of the contemporary world? Handling a digital video camera and making some samples of moving images will be an important part of the session. DAY 2: The Photograph The still photograph has its own language and potency to shape our world and photographic images reach out to us through posters, advertisements and personal photo-albums. How do they shape our relationship to knowledge, with their particular method of recording reality? How does digital technology change the story of the photograph? The use of digital cameras and actually taking photographs will enhance reflection on these issues. DAY 3: Sound-Scapes Radio and the Internet have transformed the experience of "hearing" into a specialised zone that makes sound an autonomous space to act upon, for all those interested in documentation. How does one relate to audio archives today? How do audio records produce their own version of visual culture? Learning the nuances of sound archives through digital audio recording technologies and producing audio stories will complete this session. DAY 4: Words and Writing Words and texts remain crucial components of documenting reality. A script for a film, or a caption for a photograph, is vital to structure even visual forms of archiving. How do we relate to words and writing as old and new modes of documentation? How do we use words creatively to innovate on classificatory systems and taxonomies? How do we simply become better writers and therefore better archivists, even when using new visual media? Creative writing and "naming" exercises will form part of these reflections. DAY 5: Web Art Visual and performing art forms can be seen as the most sophisticated modes of documenting the complexities and nuances of lived experience. That is why we understand the richness of past and the present by relating to all kinds of art forms. However, digital technologies have transformed many art practices in all kinds of ways. We focus on the newly emergent form of "web art" as a space that reflects on earlier artistic traditions, and links the themes of the four previous days as converging in virtual or cyber-space. If the Internet is the most obvious manifestation of the "excess" and "overload" of documentation practices, then perhaps "web art" is a competent way of taking charge -- through participation, creation and subversion of virtual space. Making your own virtual and web-based creations will be a vital part of the learning experience. About the PUKAR MONSOON Pedagogic interventions are important to a new generation of urban youth whose critical understanding of society is mainly formed in the space of undergraduate colleges, and through negotiating the world of the mass media. In a spirit of engagement with these unexplored spaces and voices, PUKAR organises the PUKAR Monsoon: a series of lectures presentations, interactive sessions and activities from May to August every year in which college students address a specific theme through a variety of creative pedagogic approaches. The first annual PUKAR Monsoon, held in July and August 2002 in eight colleges in Mumbai was "The City at Work: Livelihoods and Ways of Belonging". Reflection on the history and economics of everyday life in the city helped students cultivate a critical sensibility about the market at a pre-professional stage of their lives. In the PUKAR Monsoon 2002, we used the idea of livelihood or work as an entry point for student participation in small activities or documentation projects to examine and understand how class and cultural identities are changing in the context of globalisation in Mumbai. Three short video-clips, installations, charts and small essays were some of the output which were then collectively shared and discussed in a subsequent discussion at The Bombay Paperie in August 2002. PUKAR MONSOON 2003: "On Cities, On Water" The theme for PUKAR Monsoon 2003 is "On Cities, On Water". Water as substance and as medium has been central to urban development throughout human history. In our city, as in many other world cities, modern urban experience and "structures of feeling" are 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. One of the aims of PUKAR Monsoon 2003 is to enable young people to develop a critical understanding of these and other relationships between cities and water. We propose that these connections could be explored along four axial dimensions of water -- in relation to its role as conduit, in the promotion of concourse and commerce, and in its dimension as contaminant. PUKAR Monsoon 2003 will work to create a better understanding of the political and cultural implications of these connections among the student participants, and will also attempt to extend the dialogue with other citizens. We expect that artists, intellectuals and activists from the student community as well as from the wider public in the city and beyond will participate in different ways. Our attempt will be to facilitate dialogue and debate, encourage artistic, intellectual and creative expression, and demonstrate civic-political concerns. _____ PUKAR (Partners for Urban Knowledge Action & Research) P.O.

formatted partition
by Pradnyesh Sawant 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

a very weird thing happened with me today. i changed the filesystem type of an "ext3" partition to "vfat" using "fdisk". i even booted into my windoze os, formatted the newly created partition, and can use the whole of 2.5GB. the weird thing starts now. i boot again into my gnu/linux os, and change the filesystem type in "/etc/fstab" to "vfat". when i tried to mount the partition, an error "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda9, ......" was displayed. however i was able to mount the partition as "ext3" without any problems i can even copy files to that partition the funny thing is that i can access the same partition as "vfat" from windoze and as "ext3" from gnu/linux. the files that i store from windoze are not accessible from gnu/linux and vice-versa any comments are welcome :-) -- Pradnyesh Sawant(The doubtfire) B.E.

Pango:installation & other issues
by SWAPNIL HAJARE 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

Dear all, We are a group of final year B.E.(Computer) students from VJTI,Mumbai working under Prof. Jitendra Shah on Localization project.We are trying to develop Unicode based input method for Devanagari using GTK+ and Pango.Given below is installation procedure for Pango: * Installing Pango 1.2.1 on rh8.0 from tarball :- 1)Requirements: pkgconfig >= 0.15 Glib >= 2.1.3 Xft >= 2.0 first make sure that all these packages are installed on your system. If not, you can always get their latest tarballs from http://www.gtk.org/ 2)next check out whether the file /etc/ld.so.conf contains an entry /usr/local/lib 3)run /sbin/ldconfig from bash 4)set environment variables $export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig $export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/var/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib: 5)now you should not have any problem in installation (use ./configure,make ,make install) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Making pango-viewer example work:- Pango installation directory contains a subdir 'examples' which contains an example program illustrating Pango's capability of displaying text from various scripts.But this program doesn't work directly.You have to follow these steps: a. first go to 'example' directory in Pango installation directory b. run 'make' from bash.You'll get an error message stating some required file is not found in '../pango/' directory.Find out the missing file ( using locate,whereis etc.) and copy that file to 'pango' directory in Pango installation directory. c. repeat the above step until you get rid of similar error message. d. Next, when you start getting error message reporting a file missing in 'modules' directory, go to 'modules' directory in Pango installation directory.There you will find dirs like indic,hebrew,tamil arabic etc. One-by-one go to each of these dirs and run 'make'. Once you finish all these steps successfully, go to 'examples' directory and type ./pango-viewer to see output. have a nice day. Bye.

People will usually be ready to try out an OS, if they know how to get their basic work done, like checking e-mail, using office apps etc. One session should probably be dedicated to this. How to customise your OS, connect to the Net, check mail, intro to a decent office app etc. Day to day activities.

Workshop at SAKEC - details
by Ashok Iyer 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Hello people, I visited SAKEC on the 9th and 10th of April and spoke to the HOD. Prof. B.R. Bairi and students. The registrations have begun and a rough figure will be available on the 16th or 17th. A few IEEE guys have come forward as volunteers. The workshop will comprise of final year and third year students from ETRX/Computers/IT. 100 or maybe more. First year and second year students cannot be accomodated due to space constraints. This is sad since these are the students who would be in a position to facilitate the growth of GNU/Linux movement in the college. But the principal wants it this way. For hands on training, a lab consisting of 20 computers, each with a CDROM drive, will be available. Other labs are also available but the computers - though branded and very new, do not have CDROM drives and do not have GNU/Linux. So Knoppix cannot be used for the hands-on progamming sessions in these other labs. ------------ Is there any alternative way in which we can use these labs for the hands-on programming sessions since 20 computers would probably not be sufficient? The college may dedicate a new upcoming laboratory for GNU/Linux. But they still have a lot of questions some of which may be answered during the workshop. Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness among students and staff, the college alone accomplish this. So, we have the additional responsibility of convincing the college staff and answering their questions. This is important considering the fact that the college does not have a single person (student or staff) who knows the benefits of using GNU/Linux. Even if some students are enthusiastic, the management will not give students any freedom unless they are themselves satisfied. Therefore, one of our aims during the workshop, should be to facilitate the develpment of a GNU/Linux laboratory. -------------- A classroom that can accomodate 100 odd students has been arranged for. The problem is that the room is beautifully lit by sunlight so I wonder how the presentation slides would be visible. Silly, but is a valid point, nevertheless. :-). Any suggestions? The people who have confirmed their presence for the workshop are Dinesh Shah, Harsh Busa, Trevor Warren, Dr. Nagarjuna and Warren Brian Noronha. More speakers are needed. Please come forward.Veterans, newcomers . . The following is a tentative list of topics: 1. Understanding Software Freedom with GNU - Murder of the Myths 2. Getting around with GNU – OS basics, GNU/Linux commands and desktops. 3. Installing a dual boot GNU/Linux system 4. Economies of Free Software and revenue models (3 and 4 will be combined) 5. Text editing with VI and Emacs, programming with Shell Scripts in Bash and C programming with GCC – Hands on session for students in the laboratory. 6. Basics of System Administration and networking – commonly used commands and networking concepts. 7. Wonders of GNU - Where and how is GNU being used? How can students benefit? 8. Introduction to web technologies – Apache and writing CGI applications with PHP. 9. GNU/Linux Online Resources + Q & A sessions. Topics may be clubbed together, added or deleted. Since the workshop is for 2 days, maybe we need more topics. Harsh, Trevor please suggest. Apologies for the exceedingly long mail. :-) Cheers, Ashok

[Fwd: [RHSA-2003:089-00] Updated glibc packages fix vulnerabilities in RPC XDR decoder]
by Trevor Warren 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

-----Forwarded Message----- From: bugzilla(a)redhat.com To: redhat-watch-list(a)redhat.com, redhat-announce-list(a)redhat.com Subject: [RHSA-2003:089-00] Updated glibc packages fix vulnerabilities in RPC XDR decoder Date: 10 Apr 2003 19:33:00 -0400 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated glibc packages fix vulnerabilities in RPC XDR decoder Advisory ID: RHSA-2003:089-00 Issue date: 2003-04-10 Updated on: 2003-04-10 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: sun RPC XDR integer overflow Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2002:166 CVE Names: CAN-2003-0028 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated glibc packages are available to fix an integer overflow in the XDR decoder. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386, i686 Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386, i686 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, i686, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386, i686 Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386, i686 3. Problem description: The glibc package contains standard libraries that are used by multiple programs on the system. Sun RPC is a remote procedure call framework that allows clients to invoke procedures in a server process over a network. XDR is a mechanism for encoding data structures for use with RPC. Glibc contains an XDR encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation, which was demonstrated to be vulnerable to an integer overflow. An integer overflow is present in the xdrmem_getbytes() function of glibc 2.3.1 and earlier. Depending upon the application, this vulnerability could cause buffer overflows and may be exploitable leading to arbitrary code execution. All users should upgrade to these errata packages which contain patches to the glibc libraries and therefore are not vulnerable to these issues. Red Hat would like to thank eEye Digital Security for alerting us to this issue. The Red Hat Linux 8.0 errata packages also contain a number of bug fixes that are not security related. For details, see the list of bugzilla bugs fixed by this errata or the ChangeLog. [Updated 9 April 2003] Some bugs newly introduced by the Red Hat Linux 8.0 errata packages has been discovered, such as wine problems or problems with debugging threaded applications. Once the glibc upgrade has been completed, you must either reboot the system or restart all programs on the system (for example, by using telinit 1 and switching back to the old runlevel). Rebooting the system or restarting the system programs is necessary to avoid vulnerable glibc copies in memory and because changes in NSS internal interfaces which mean that one cannot mix old NSS modules or libresolv in an application with upgraded NSS modules or libresolv in one running application. If sshd is running so that the other services can be restarted remotely or for a remote reboot during an unattended glibc upgrade, glibc will also restart sshd. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): 76531 - /etc/group breaks when lines longer than 671 characters 77467 - upgrade to RH 8.0 glibc breaks mysql remote connections 81901 - character limit on any line in /etc/group - not to exceed 860 82565 - Commands that access group names fails when NIS group is large 82619 - maximum number of users in group 82645 - SEGV in __res_nquery (/lib/libresolv.so.2) 82662 - regex library handle initialized values and crashes 88052 - register_printf_function() forgets to clear table 88056 - double free() from iofclose() on libio/tst-fopenloc 88093 - setcontext() is not signal safe 88099 - buffer underrun in read_input_file/gencat.c 88101 - using uninitialized local variable in math/test-tgmath 88104 - uinitialized variable used for __ieee754_gammal_r(NaN,) 87656 - LTC2324-Thread improperly loses lock on mutex when thread is cancelled. 86359 - /lib/i686 no longer used? 86339 - Update to glibc-2.3.2-4.80 breaks SSH 86465 - Undefined __ctype_b using glibc with ncurses 86468 - crossover 1.2 does not work since export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 workaround in glibc is missing. update 8.0 glibc 86534 - RedHat's glibc-2.3.2 and Samba -> assert_uid() failures? 6.

Fw: [ILUG-BOM] Linux on Celeron ?
by Royce & Sharal Pereira 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Hi, ----- Original Message ----- > standard hardware and it detected and worked properly. Incidentally, I use a 810 Motherboard with Intel PIII 800 Mhz, 256 MB ram, 2 x 40GB HDDs, >CDWriter, DVDROM and printer. I'm Planning to buy a PC for home. It will be a Celeron 1.2G, due to cost considerations(compared to P4). Are there any issues re installing Linux(specifically PCQuest Linux 8.0) on a Celeron system? Any particular motherboards or peripherals/cards I should avoid (or use)? Thanks, --Royce.

Workshop at SAKEC - sequel to earlier mail
by Ashok Iyer 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

As per further discussions with the IEEE guys at SAKEC who have volunteered for the event, the following points are now clear: 1. There are around 95 registrations already completed. The registrations are carried out through the IEEE forum website so the possibility of dummy registrations are minimal. 2. There will be a public address system (mike+speakers) etc. , LCD projectors etc. available. 3. The problem of sunlight can be offset using venation blinds. :-) Regards, Ashok -- <-------------------------------------------> <The box said: For Windows 95 or better. . .> <So I installed Linux! > <------------------------------------------->

server rebooted
by Amish K. Munshi 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

Greetings, My server rebooted yesterday evening, I would like to know the reason for the same. The /var/log/message has the following lines. Apr 9 16:08:13 newserver named[5358]: lame server resolving '189.187.106.202.in-addr.arpa' (in '106.202.in-addr.arpa'?):202.106.196.28#53 Apr 9 17:01:01 newserver su(pam_unix)[29172]: session opened for user bin by (uid=0) Apr 9 17:01:01 newserver su(pam_unix)[29172]: session closed for user bin Apr 9 17:18:08 newserver init: cannot execute "/sbin/shutdown" Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver syslogd 1.4.1: restart. Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver syslog: syslogd startup succeeded Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver syslog: klogd startup succeeded Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver kernel: klogd 1.4.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver kernel: Linux version 2.4.18-14 (bhcompile(a)astest.test.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #1 Wed Sep 4 12:13:11 EDT 2002 Before the reboot I had renamed shutdown to some other name so that by mistake I do not use the command to shutdown the server. What I noticed is that the system time was 17:18 when the shutdown was attempted by init, but when the server came online again the time in the log is shown as 16:07, is this due to a system (software) crash? The uptime gives an uptime of 9 hours right now, while it was 180+ days before. SYSTEM INFO : RHL 8.0, AMD 1.3G 512MB RAM. Bye. -- Amish K.
