Reinstalling GRUB
by Shahed Moolji 25 Mar '03

25 Mar '03

Hi, I have the following setup hd1 -> Grub , Win2000 hd2-> RH8 and RH7.2 in seprate partitions. I use Grub to boot in either of the 3 O/s's. Now, I want to reformat and reinstall Win2000 on my primary master hdd. I am quite sure Grub will go away. I have boot disks to go back into RH7.2. Can I then boot into 7.2 and reinstall Grub ?? I do not remember how, or in what sequence I did all this the first time, so now I am concerned that I may not be able to reinstall grub. I do not want to use xosl / lilo or any other boot loader. Is this possible ? Thanks Shahed.

23 Mar '03

JUST AN UPDATE of what's in issue # 2 of what claims to be Asia's first [GNU]Linux magazine, covering the technology for beginners, power users, IT implementers, developers and the industry. CONNECTING [GNU]LINUX & WINDOWS Tools explained: Explore2fs and WinaXe CYGWIN A friendly application VMWare Go the emulation way GRUB The dual boot metho WINE Windows on [GNU]Linux SAMBA Network [GNU]Linux across platforms o QUOTE: LFY: How do you like the magazine? RMS: I have to say this. I am very, very unhappy with the magazine. You really should not be doing this. The magazine should not be named LINUX For You. It should be GNU/Linux For You. You've got to change this. (Richard M Stallman, quoted in an interview) o Editor Rahul Chopra says of the last issue: "Day three of our all-India launch and we had sellouts from top three cities!" o SUBSCRIBE TO LFY for Rs 370 per year, instead of Rs 600. Valid uptil 31 March 2003. o OpenOffice.ORG is sure to give other proprietory office suites a run for their money, writes Sharminder Singh. o SuSE LINUX 8.1 is easy to install and fun to operate. It can be used on your home and office desktop, comes with fundoo games and educational software. For the server administrator, there are several useful tools available, says Vijaya Kittu. o COOL HANGOUTS FOR DEVELOPERS www.sourceforge.com www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/ www.freshmeat.net www.python.org www.kernel.org www.sun.com/developers/ www.perl.com o IF YOU HAVE had that (anti-'piracy') knock on your door, and are considering the move to GNU/ Linux or have migrated since then, write to freedomyug(a)linuxforu.com with your story. o INDIA NEWS - Red Hat India to expand - Interview: V Khanna, CEO, Ampersand, Delhi - LinuxInIndia: extracts from a report by Nasscom (some on the GNU/Linux found it ironical that one of India's pro-Microsoft, and pro-proprietorial code bodies is tom-tomming GNU/Linux) - C-DAC taking the open source route. - Open Source: a disruptive technology? - Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital, 180 beds with advanced diagnostics, has opted for GNU/Linux. - Symantec AntiVirus, Mumbai - Rainmail Intranet from Carizen Software Chennai - GroupX2, groupware soln from Blore - Elx, much undernoticed, from Hyderabad - Legato's NetWorker from Delhi - eSpark's Realtime, Bangalore - Atlantic's sales force automation, Delhi - Arava's Arcon -- mail, Internet, intranet server o ENTERPRISE MESSAGING... Firms that use GNU/Linux for e-mails find it feature-rich, stable and easy to upgrade. News from Sahara India (1500 offices... using Qmail), Bharati-Teletech, Bry-Air (RedHat for e-mail and proxy servers since 1999), Arcus Ltd. o Q-MAIL SERVER IN THE ENTERPRISE. Use the step-by-step instructions given here to implement a Q-Mail server in your organisation. It will take only a few hours to do so. o MITHI cOnnect server: Offers a corporate email solution with the "performance of [GNU]Linux and the ease of Windows'" o WHAT's NUMA got to do with clusters? o INTRODUCING PERL.. Perl is a script language that can help you carry out a variety of tasks. Learn aboutPerl data types and variables. Perl expressions, loops in Perl and more. o LINUX databases. MySQL, POSTGRESQL. InterBase. Non-relational databases. Four page article. o THE SHELL CORNER, beginning with interactive scripts o CVS for developers: This software helps developers living across the world to pool data in a central location, access it, make changes to the content, and save it. (Pages 80-81). o [GNU]LINUX IN EDUCATION: An article that doesn't do justice to its subject. Lot more depth is required to tackle this. GLUE by Ajith in Delhi is not mentioned. LIFE of Prof Nagarajuna doesn't get noticed. RedHat is wrongly credited for "working closely" to deploy GNU/Linux in 42 schools (if this is in Goa, the company did only very little) and BytesForAll.org (something which I'm directly involved -FN) doesn't focus on these kind of projects and has never claimed to have worked on it ;-) o Design of a diskless client terminal o Report on GNUnify in Pune ('RMS was there') o Linux World Expo 2003, a report o SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition is available from sales(a)seascope.co.in o LISTING OF Asia's and India's LUGs and GLUGs... pretty useful. Accuracy and depth of info could improve. o ROBERT J CHASSELL on why software freedom empowers the developer, enables the user, and offers students something they love. (ENDS) LOOKING AHEAD: What's your opinion on a suitable distro to be included in a future edition of LFY? My suggestion?

Next version of Debian?
by Apurva Mehta 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

I was at the Debian website and read that the next version of their OS (Sarge) is going to built with gcc 3.2. I use RedHat 7.2 and have wanted to use a distribution built with gcc 3.2 so I could use the much improved C++ compiler without hassles. I also wanted to switch to Debian. So the logical conclusion would be to wait for Sarge to be released. The question is, when can I expect that? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Apurva Mehta PGP Public Key: http://www.geocities.com/theprancinghorse/pgp_public_key.txt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

[OT][Announce] New Xqueeze Release
by Tahir Hashmi 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Hi all! I'm glad to announce a new release of Xqueeze Reference Implementation. Major changes are: - Syntactic support for PIs and Namespaces - Support for inclusion of internal DTDs - Parsing without the knowledge of schema Please see http://xqueeze.sourceforge.net/docs.shtml for documentation and http://xqueeze.sourceforge.net/download.shtml for downloads. Future Development: Future versions of xqML encoding would include the following features: - Built-in data types for boolean, decimal, float/double, dateTime, date, time and dateTime (and possibly duration) - More compact representation of attributes and elements with CDATA content - Possibly, encoding without the knowledge of schema - Possibly, speed-ups for access to particular parts of a large document The next version of Xqueeze Reference Implementation would be redesigned to provide DOM and SAX interfaces, and I would also do performance testing this time. Meanwhile, I would be grateful to receive feedback regarding the development of this project. Thanks for your kind attention. -- Tahir Hashmi http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir Compact XML Alternative - http://xqueeze.sf.net

Garbled text solution
by Amish Munshi 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Greetins, I had posted a few days back asking help for the Garbled text in RH 8.0, I have found that by following these two simple things the quality of the output of the console can be incresed. 1. Setting LANG="en_US" in /etc/sysconfig/i18n (Defaults to en_US.UTF-8). 2. Using frame buffer mode for the console. I used vga=789 as a parameter to my kernel to accomplish this. Bye. -- Amish K.

Has anyone used, or is using, ELX Business Desktop 2.0? I hear it is a single CD, and very user friendly, but what I would like to know is what distro is it based on? And, what sort of packages can I install on it (RPMs/APT/...)? I hear it uses Webmin, so does it have like a all encompassing package manager or something?

Can an Open-Source Database Threaten Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM?
by Hanisha Vaswani 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

gratifying to see the ROW wake up slowly - hanisha `````````````````````````````````````````````` Can an Open-Source Database Threaten Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM? MySQL still lacks many features big customers want, but the software maker and CEO Marten Mickos have dazzling opportunities ahead. FORTUNE Wednesday, March 12, 2003 By David Kirkpatrick Talking last week with Marten Mickos, CEO of MySQL, took me back to the golden days of 1999. Here was a fresh-faced, unbelievably enthusiastic CEO, raving about the future prospects of his product, just like so many executives I met back in those unreal times. But Mickos has a very real opportunity. The open-source movement has become a major factor across the software industry, and MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database. In contrast to typical commercial software, open-source products have their underlying programming code available for all to see and modify. The products are also free or close to it, which, needless to say, helps them grow rapidly if they're good. MySQL is used in four million installations around the world, Mickos estimates. The product gets downloaded for free off the company's website about 30,000 times a day. And here's what Sun CEO Scott McNealy said in a February interview with Computerworld: "If you want to save...money, make the default database MySQL. It's free, it's bundled [with Sun's Solaris software], you've got the whole open-source community working on making it better. If Yahoo and Google can run their entire operations on MySQL, then certainly there's a huge chunk of your operations that could run on it as well." McNealy slightly exaggerated the Yahoo and Google stuff, but both companies do use MySQL extensively. I e-mailed so-called "Technical Yahoo" Jeremy Zawodny, who replied: "We use it all over the place-for batch feed processing in Yahoo Classifieds and Yahoo Finance, to serve live content in Yahoo Sports, Yahoo News and Yahoo Finance, and even in some billing systems. Our usage continues to grow." And the product has impressive capabilities. It is mostly used to run websites, including Alwayson-Network.com, Slashdot.org, parts of Sony Pictures, and many more. In addition, it's built into products from many technology companies. Aside from Solaris, it goes into the server version of Mac OS X and most commercial versions of Linux. Cisco puts it into intrusion detection devices. MySQL employs a so-called dual licensing model. Anybody can download the product for free and use it for whatever they want, but in so doing they become ethically obliged to share any modifications with the company. However, there's a second option. Pay for the product and you can do anything you want with it. "We're not a charity," says Mickos. "Even when we give it away free we always get a benefit out of it. We have the world's largest quality assurance facility." This database costs only $395 for every server on which it is installed, quite a contrast to the $20,000 you might pay for Oracle. The product also runs on cheaper hardware and typically is cheaper to maintain. MySQL had $5 million in revenues last year, a figure that should double in 2003, says Mickos. Privately funded, with ABN Amro lead investor, the Swedish company just turned profitable. MySQL lacks many features big companies want for using it with applications that are central to their business, like manufacturing or finance software from companies like SAP. But it is getting inexorably better thanks to all those helpers bequeathed by its business model. Says open-source expert Stacey Quandt at the Giga Information Group: "As the feature/functionality gap continues to narrow, MySQL will eventually take market share away from Oracle, [IBM's] DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server at the high end." Charlie Garry at Meta Group says open-source software is now supplanting costlier proprietary software for well-defined, commoditized tasks. He predicts that the established vendors will fight back with free, stripped-down versions of their own products, but he has no doubt about MySQL's prospects: "MySQL will penetrate the enterprise similarly to the way SQL Server did, but with much greater speed." Yahoo's Zawodny makes a different analogy: "MySQL is to Oracle as Linux is to Windows. It will slowly but steadily creep up the food chain, just like Linux has." Mickos is already seeing real headway. "I estimate we command 20% of the worldwide installed base of databases," he says , "but of revenues we only command only .02%. So there's a factor of 1,000." He laughs. "And we are making money. People ask me 'What's wrong-why are you leaving money on the table?' We say 'You should ask the other database companies what is wrong with their cost structure." His confidence may be 1999, but his pragmatism and customer-centric approach are very 2003. Questions? Comments?

Wether their website supports other browsers or not is a minor quibble. The real issue here is are they aware about Libre software. If they are they should have been using GNU software. Libre software is about keeping knowledge open and useable for the benefit of all. This is the only issue that is important. The opensource movement very convienently forgets this issue. The recent SCO shenanigans should be an eye opener. I havent as yet read the mag. Therfore my comments maybe way off. I intend to read it on Sunday. rgds jtdsouz(a)softhome.net

Re: How to configure web server behind Proxy
by Goldwyn Rodrigues 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

You can redirect traffic coming to a particular port to another host on the network using xinetd. You might have to do a little tweaking for http traffic, but it is possible. Configure your proxy server (in this reference, gateway) to redirect the traffic to the host serving http. > > > In my college we are using squid as a proxy server for the entire lab. We r thinking of having our own web server, but the College wants it to be behind the proxy server, Now how do I do this. I suppose this could be done by using iptables and IP forwarding, could someone please help me by giving me the code for the iptable configuration. > > -- Goldwyn :o) Linux: Because rebooting is for adding new hardware

GNU/Linux month
by Amol Hatwar 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Hi all, I read a seperate e-mail about RMS' bithday on 16 of March. Why not all of us celebrate it in the following manner: All of us who beleive it must be GNU/Linux and not Linux, carry an email signature indicating this, and a link where one could get more information for about a month. This should be equivalent to wearing a badge in the net-era. Let's declare March 16 - April 15 as the GNU/Linux month. I'll be glad to see more of such badges floating around :). ------------- It's most certainly GNU/Linux, not Linux. Read more at http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html. ------------- Warm regards, Amol Hatwar.

knoppix resolution problem
by Pradnyesh Sawant 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

hello luggers, first of all i would like to thank you for helping me with the grub.conf file to boot into my knoppix partition. the entry that i made in my grub.conf file for knoppix is as follows: title Knoppix root (hd0,8) kernel /vmlinuz ro initrd /initrd.gz one thing that i would like to point though, is that there are not 2 copies of grub.conf, one in /boot/grub and the other in /etc. in fact the /etc/grub.conf is a link to /boot/grub/grub.conf i would also like to thank you all, for in the process of configuring my grub.conf, i learned some commands on the grub prompt now, that the question of booting into the knoppix partition is solved, i would like to ask another question. i am getting very *BIG* fonts/icons in the knoppix gui. i changed the screen resolution to 1024x768 in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config, but it did not help. i continue getting huge fonts/icons even after rebooting. i am attaching the part of the file mentioned, that relates to my screen.

Hi folks Some more news for the community... (this quotes a Forrester Research report highlights. Their report is too expensive :-) so I just have a few highlights here ! IAC this does make interesting reading) ------- QUOTE ----------- THE LINUX TIPING POINT Linux brings seductive Intel economics into the Unix heart of the datacenter. To avoid the chaos of unbridled Linux growth, CIOs must lead a shift to managed Linux deployment. The payoff? A fast track to Organic IT. - by Ted Schadler with Charles Rutstein, Laura Koetzle, Angela Tseng, Frank Pandolfe A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CONTENTS - In Interviews : - 72% of respondents expect to use more Linux in 2004. - About a quarter are replacing Windows servers with Linux. - Enterprise support stalls Linux for 46% of interviewees. Their Analysis : - In 2004, Linux adoption will explode in every datacenter, challenging CIOs to keep proliferation under control. - Managed Linux deployment gives both datacenter pros and application teams tools and processes to make Linux a success. - Recoding an application? Don't overlook Microsoft. They say it means : - Proprietary Unix is stone-cold dead -- but big iron lives on. - Laggard ISVs will regret their go-slow approach to Linux.

PCQuest Linux Version 8
by Saswata Banerjee & Associates 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

Hi, I got the PCQuest Linux Version 8 distro last week and installed it on my PC. It is based on the RedHat 8, but with some modification which they feel is better for Indian Users. I was impressed with the way it installs and works. I think new users may find it very useful. For example, knowing that many users now use cable internet and that most of the cable operators use cyberoam software called 24onlineclient, they have provided the necessary software which can be used to connect to cable internet. Similarly, they have provided aMSN and Yahoo messanger. I found this very useful. They have also provided a software called MONO, which is supposed to be the GNU\Linux version of Microsoft's Dot Net Framework. The PCQuest magazine for this month gives detailed explaination for each of the things they have provided and how to get it running. And basically in not techie language. Basically, I got "out of the box" features. Only problem is that after every 12-15 minutes, I get logged out of my cable network and need to log in again. I hope to get my cable operator solve for me today. Regards Saswata

workshop in DJSCE?
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 11 Mar '03

Hi, I had visited D. J. Sanghvi CoE some time ago to collect my leaving certificate. There some people in the Electronic dept informed that the HoD was interested in a 2-day workshop on GNU/Linux ... I had given them the LUG's email address, but seems there was no further action on that. I noticed at least one person - Charudatt Mulye - is a student in DJSCE. Can you contact Dr. Mrs. Warnekar and follow up on the plans for a workshop? I believe the college is setting up a lot of new labs and want to have a good setup that will be manageable by students themselves ... Sameer.

this is regarding the technical festival named "Praxis" to be held in Vivekanand engg. college on 16-17 march. in the last meet, i had said, that being a student of Vivekanand engg. coll. i will talk to the Praxis managing committee about holding a small workshop on Gnu/Linux and/or having a small stall where we could sell Gnu/Linux related cds like Knoppix, etc. i inform you all with great displeasure, that the festival is heavily scheduled with various events, and that we cannot be allowed to hold a workshop. but i also have a good news. in all probability, we might be allowed to hold a workshop on behalf of the IEEE VESIT chapter in the following week. we might also be allowed to have a stall to sell cds, etc. i will contact the necessary authorities, and let you all know about the workshop as soon as possible. i personally think that educating students about Gnu/Linux is important and the media shouldn't matter much. so we should all see this as a good opportunity -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Postgresql Apache PHP fine tunning
by Paresh parihar 10 Mar '03

10 Mar '03

Hi Srinivas, With Php/Postgres/Apache what issues i see is the configuration directives that u have given while compiling php with postgres and apache, here are some configuration parameters you can see: Postgres Configuration Directives: pgsql.allow_persistent boolean Whether to allow persistent Postgres connections. pgsql.max_persistent integer The maximum number of persistent Postgres connections per process. pgsql.max_links integer The maximum number of Postgres connections per process, including persistent connections. So your php{3/4}.ini file should have these types of values assigned for these directives: [PostgresSQL] ; Allow or prevent persistent links. pgsql.allow_persistent = On ; Maximum number of persistent links. -1 means no limit. pgsql.max_persistent = -1 ; Maximum number of links (persistent+non persistent). -1 means no limit. pgsql.max_links = -1 If these values are fixed then you might get problems what you are talking about. These values can also be read from phpinfo() in a php script file, so u necessarily need not open this file. Srinivas Wrote: Hi , We are using apache php and portgresql for one of our web based accounting package . Initially we were using pconnect then we stated getting too many connection errors the moment more than five users loged in. So we switched to connect , but problme is the whole system runs very slow . Infact i would like to get some optimisation techniques for all this kind of setup .

INDIA: Debian...KDE programming... dynamic images (DEVELOPERiq * March 2003)
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 08 Mar '03

08 Mar '03

THIS ALL AND more is included in the March 2003 issue of DeveloperIQ magazine, published from India (www.developeriq.com). Check the issue for THEN THERE ARE [GNU]Linux fanatics. I admire Linux pros a lot, and I know that using the OS needs more than mere mouse management. But what puts me off is an attitude, which many have for Windows users, developers and the rest of the community. I know many who have thrown away (actually they formatted the hard disk and loaded a new distro) Windows boxes and switched to [GNU]Linux and continued being happy. Great! But you just cannot stamp all Windows users and developers as mentally retarded. -Editorial, S. Ramdas Contact: ramdas(a)developeriq.com o DEBIAN 3.0 -- the first of five CDs. (Readers can avail of the other four at Rs 149, incl courier. But the CDs will be shipped with DeveloperIQ over the next year too.) o READER'S QUERY on why the installation program could not write to the MBR... o JAVA IN the enterprise: "Java's heritage is more aligned with the Open Source movement and community process. In fact, many would argue that free software forms an important part of the dynamic Java..." 4-pg.article o STATE OF WEB services: One of the biggest myths, which many developers especially coming from the Microsoft camp have, is that Web Services means .Net. This is not true... Where Sun and Microsoft score is they have ready-made roadmaps and product offerings.... Soon all the products from MS, including MS Office, will be .Net enabled, locking the customers to a .Net environment as far as possible... The Open Source world still does not have a combined solution... But there are lots happening, read the next article. o OPEN ROLE in Web services. Open Source (Free Software?) is fast catching up with their Web services portfolio. Axis from Apache, jBpm, OBE, Powerfolder, TestMaker, Rotor ("this is not exactly Open Source and is more Shared Source"), NetAything, The Go Mon Project, DotGNU. o DotGNU; The GNU version of the .Net initaitive. GNU branding is big, but the project somehow is lagging behind Mono. DotGNU is being developed jointly under the auspices of FreeDevelopers and the GNU project. The DotGNU system will be a well- integrated part of the GNU system and it will also be available to the users of all other wisely used OSs. It sounds very ambitious since the final goal is to create an operating system for the Internet. Currently a primitive beta version of the framework is available. See http://www.dotgnu.org o APACHE AXIS, the leading FLOSS tool kit for implementing Web services, gets two pages. o MASTER EMBEDDED Linux/Linux drivers from experts. Projects on porting, writing BSP for embedded GNU/Linux, network, wireless LAN, SCSI, fibre channel, USB device driver. Fees Rs 12,500-30,000. Four to six months course.

The KDE project had the goal of simplifying the use of GNU/Linux, very much like the Windows OS. This looks at how one can program using KDE in a typical GUI environment. o CREATING dynamic images, using PHP and GD.These are images that are generated on-the-fly by the server. o PLAYING AROUND with Python buttons. "Windows programmers may be warned that if you are comparing Python GUI with Visual Basic, it's like ptiching the Australian cricket team against the Bangladesh team."
