Knowledge Dependecy Tree
by Naveen Dhanuka 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi, I was doing some research on elearning capsules and found that a knowledge dependency tree can be made without wasting any resources on analyzing which tech to use or which platform to use (FOSS / NON FOSS). I am an Information Architect and I hate the interface of Gnowledge Labs. I also hate the out put diagram. Now I was speaking about the leading edge technology to be used to make such dependency chart. It is the damm windows explorer of windows xp. Make individual folders, put content related to it be it a PDF or a DOC. Make Shortcut files. Place them inside each other as per the dependency understood and followed. If the nodes have different type then different naming conventions can be used for it while naming the folders. Benefits ^^^^^^^^ 1. A layman can use it 2. No cost of buying this software 3. A LMS might not be needed to create an electronic learning system Any points which u think I have missed please shoot, I on behalf of Creanology will love to answer. Regards, Navin Dhanuka

India's $35 Tablet- The Everything Killer
by Vivek Varghese Cherian 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, On July 22 a $35 (or 1500 INR) hand-held Linux computing device was unveiled by Shri Kapil Sibal, the Union Minister for Human Resource Development of India. The goal of the project is to lower the price to around $20 in time and eventually reaching the amazing price of $10. In a tablet form-factor and using an unspecified variant of Linux (that some have said might be Android), the cost should remain low while offering a wide range of functionality. The Sakshat descendant is said to be capable of supporting video conferencing, viewing a wide selection of video and image files, word processing, de/compressing files, printing with CUPS, full Internet browsing with Javascript and Flash, wireless communications, and remote device management.

[OT] New Opera browser for touch screen mobiles.
by Rony Bill 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hello, Although not related to linux, but to viewing our list online. Opera has come out with a new browser for mobiles. It is the new version 5.x which is excellent for mobile phones.

The control machine simply instructs the source machine to forward the data to the destination machine. There is no way data will pass through the control machine. It is only issuing instructions. Since the source and destination paths are absolute, the machines can directly link to each other. However they will have to be set up for password-less login so that data can pass on from source to destination without authentication. If I guess correctly, when the control machine issues an scp command to the source machine in the example given by Osric, [user3@host3 ~]$ scp user1@host1:file user2@host2:path only host1 will offer its key to the control machine and ask for the user1 password. The host2 machine will not talk to the control machine at all. Host1 will talk to host2. -- As a proper list etiquette... Please trim your replies.

Hi, One of my friend is in cargo business having 7 PCs. He asked me to buy windows XP licenses for all 7 PCs. His employees just check emails and work on office documents such as word, excel, powerpoint. I told him that Linux can be used easily with few hours training for above mentioned things. I also explained the stability and cost effectiveness of it. Now the question is, which distribution should we suggest? Which desktop environment?

Free ONLINE Drupal Training commencing August 10, 2010
by Sidharth Kshatriya 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

NoParrots.com free Drupal CMS trainings have been so far restricted to Delhi NCR, India. They have been a great success. Our meetup group at http://drupal-delhi.noparrots.com is already 100+ members large and we have had 6 meetups so far. During these 6 meetings we have introduced Drupal fundamentals. Its been a fun and humbling experience to have so many of you come to my training center in Gurgaon every Sunday afternoon and listen to me teach you a little bit of Drupal But I've received calls and emails from people all the way from Kerala and Bangalore to know if I offer online training. Starting from today, the answer is "Yes!" I'm happy to announce that starting from August 10th, 2010 (Tuesday) we'll have free ONLINE Drupal training. *Every week* I intend to teach Drupal CMS fundamentals from 9 pm - 11 pm (Indian Standard Time). We'll try to keep it on Tuesdays. For details please keep visiting http://www.noparrots.com and http://drupal-delhi.noparrots.com *If you have a broadband internet connection and an internet browser you should be able to listen to my lectures and see me share my computer screen as I demonstrate how to build websites in Drupal.* As usual, I'll try to keep each session as independent as possible to the previous one. You don't need any special programming knowledge to understand Drupal. *How can you join Free Online Drupal Training?* - Register yourself at http://drupal-delhi.noparrots.com - Say that you will be joining a particular meeting by RSVPing "Yes" on the meeting date - At the meeting time, join us at https://my.dimdim.com/learn_drupal (note that the URL https and not http) *What is Drupal?* * * *Drupal is a CMS (Content Management System), similar to Wordpress or Joomla that allows you to rapidly build sophisticated and great looking websites. The US President's websitehttp://www.whitehouse.gov is a great example of a website made in Drupal. Drupal itself is built on the PHP language (like Facebook).* *Questions?* * * Visit www.noparrots.com or email me at learndrupal[at]noparrots[dot]com for more details

[OT][Announcement] web3.0 mailing list
by Arulalan T 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Dear All, Greetings .!. Do you have awareness about web3.0 ? The Semantic Web is a web of data. There is lots of data we all use every day, and it is not part of the web. I can see my bank statements on the web, and my photographs, and I can see my appointments in a calendar. But can I see my photos in a calendar to see what I was doing when I took them? Can I see bank statement lines in a calendar? Why not? Because we don't have a web of data. Because data is controlled by applications, and each application keeps it to itself. Humans are capable of using the Web to carry out tasks such as finding the Irish word for "directory", reserving a library book, and searching for a low price for a DVD. However, one computer cannot accomplish all of these tasks without human direction, because web pages are designed to be read by people, not machines. The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so computers can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web. We are going to make web3.0 with the basics of semantic web. Let us discuss about web3.0 in this mailing list. Welcomes you to real data understandable by computer as data not as text ! - To join in the web3 mailing list, subscribe here http://www.freelists.org/list/web3 What is the Semantic Web? Where Web 2.0 is focused on people, the Semantic Web is focused on machines. The Web requires a human operator, using computer systems to perform the tasks required to find, search and aggregate its information. It's impossible for a computer to do these tasks without human guidance because Web pages are specifically designed for human readers. The Semantic Web is a project that aims to change that by presenting Web page data in such a way that it is understood by computers, enabling machines to do the searching, aggregating and combining of the Web's information — without a human operator. :-) More info about semantic web : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2007/Semantic_Web.asp Thank you. -- Regards, Arulalan.T Kanchi Linux User Group Rocks ! http://kanchilug.wordpress.com My Experiments In Linux are here http://tuxcoder.wordpress.com One Day One Cmd via sms http://1day1cmd.wordpress.com

More interesting are the responses he gets: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/439 This of course, was in response to GergDeK's(*) post: http://gregdekspeaks.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/red-hat-16-canonical-1/ Of course, having to defend oneself by words rather than work in meritocracy based FOSS is ...ahem ...sad. Read all the comments to get a fair idea. cheers, - steve (*) incidentally, calling people like GregDek, who just point out uncomfortable facts, 'The Gregs' is not considered as generalization by spaceman. -- random spiel: http://lonetwin.net/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/

I can arrange lecture halls / rooms and computer labs in my college [MGM College Of Engineering And Technology, location: http://is.gd/dUPzZ ] on the 8th / 9th of October (or some other Saturday/Sunday before that) What I'll need is support from you in terms of planning and arranging the event. If any of you are willing to put some effort into this, please let me know. Surya Sharma

Ubuntu 10.04 installation on Acer 5740 Core i5 and 3 GB RAM
by Rony Bill 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hello, Yesterday I got a new Acer 5740 with core i5, 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD and all the regular things. It was the linux model. Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit was installed on it. The live CD itself showed all devices working, including wireless. There was one bug during live session. Every time the wireless was connected, the touch pad would go dead. This problem did not appear post installation. The devices working are... Display .... gives full 1366 x 768 resolution. Sound .... After increasing levels and un-muting (maybe) it plays with decent Acer type sound levels. Touch pad ... Works fine. Bluetooth .... Linked with my mobile. Did not try any transfers. Wireless .... Works like butter. Used it in the live session itself for installation. Sound up / down .... Works from the dedicated keys. Brightness up /down does NOT work inspite of adding acpi_osi="Linux" to the grub parameters. Camera.....The gnome package camerama does not detect the video device but cheese does it flawlessly giving bright, crisp and colourfull images. Available in apt. camerama out, cheese in. Bluetooth and Wireless on / off buttons work. ubuntu-restricted-extras installs the non-free stuff including flash player for firefox. Remember.... it is the 64 bit OS. One bug that exists is that when changing desktop backgrounds, after selecting a second or third image choice, the machine freezes and has to be forced shut down. So I set my image once and lay off. Overall a 'works out of the box' experience. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

My Trusty Dell Latitude D820 works perfect since Ubuntu 8.04. I don't meddle with a lot of compiling or change a lot of system settings though. The only issue was multi-monitor setup.

[OT] mailing list etiquette and reasoning
by Revant Nandgaonkar 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

My question is, how to avoid message recycling on gmail? or for a newbie what (not) to do to not recycle? Why bottom posting? My reasoning; some years ago google search for "linux" returned with mailing lists archives. reading the replies helped me a lot, if the mailing list etiquettes were followed on list it became easier to understand the progression of a problem from identification to the solution. even with outputs pasted in posts. This is not the case today and search strings land me up to some forum where quoting is automatically arranged. Why top posting is a problem? in case of newbie search string like "Installing internet with click9online mahim mumbai on linux" :-) searcher might land up in a confused system of posting and be more confused. I hope this thread will help us discuss everything about etiquettes here Note: for few times, unaware of the meaning, I top posted. I rarely post anyways, but now I always take effort to bottom post Mailing list guidelines: http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/pages/show/6

new initiatives in foss/oss
by Kenneth Gonsalves 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

hi, the KG group of companies - http://group.kgisl.com/ have a open source department - one of their initiatives is here: http://fossible.kgisl.com/ I happened to visit the group and find they have done extraordinary things using open source. For example there is PAC which does online processing storage and rendering of scans and xrays - they have implemented it in php/msyql and have several TB of data at the cost of about 5 lakhs whereas other hospitals have shelled out 1.2 crores for the same. College ERP, construction ERP and an enterprise wide ticket managing system tied to a zimbra server with things like right-click on a ticket to approve it, or right click on a person's name to send him an sms. The have used sms extensively - like staff can take attendence in class using their cellphones and sms the result to the server. There is an over reliance on php - but we are working to change that. Also they are yet to open source their applications - but that too is going to change. -- Regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS at AU-KBC

The -user option for the find command.
by Rony 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hello, I want to use the find command inside a directory which has user1, user2, user3 and user4 in the group to either look for files owned by user1 or user2 or user3 or find files not owned by user4. The -user option allows me only one name. I tried spaces, comas between user_names but the syntax is returned invalid. I can't find the not_owned option either. The -nouser option is for users not in the /etc/passwd file which is not my case. Checked out google too but cannot find any possibility for multi-user options in the same line. Even tried -user user1 -user user2 -user user3 together but not working. If I can write one 'find' line for all the users, I don't have to repeat it per user. Any tips or tricks? -- Regards, Rony.

Avoid Top Posting
by Rony 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hello, Just as we have Mailman as the software for our list, could we have a similar FOS software that allows web based replying inside the message itself, like many other sites where the user logs in and replies to the messages using a reply button. The reply box has the original text which is edited manually by the user in the browser itself. Many forums use this method but I don't know if there is a FOSS for that. If it happens, users of non confirming email devices can use their device browsers to log into the web version and reply in the correct interleaved pattern. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !

OT: open office usability
by Pratik Anand 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

This is a post related to usability of Open Office Suite. Open office has emerged has one of the best alternatives to MS Office (while Google Docs is still maturing) There are few elemental things not available in Open Office which makes its use little more rough Most important being, Inability to change slides with arrow keys . I don't understand why OO people are not implementing this simple feature. Is there a copyright issue or programming difficulty (?) Second being, compatibility with MS Office 2007 files (esp. .pptx). With these formats being more than 3 yrs old, it should start supporting it fully. Open Office 's saved ppt files change in orientation and design when opened in MS Office, not talking about templates (can be really troublesome). Few more smaller issues. Note: this post is not made for criticizing OO , rather it points out woes of users who want to shift their workspace in open source but are still facing difficulties. -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (3rd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone

[OT] Cracking email and facebook accounts.
by Rony 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hello, I have come across people who know people who can easily crack into facebook and gmail accounts. There are computer courses run by some reputed colleges in Mumbai where hacking (sic) is taught as a subject and those students can crack others' accounts. They don't need access to the other users' machines. Simply give them a user id and they crack it. They do it as ethical testing for friends. How much of this is actually true and how easy is it to crack gmail and facebook accounts without the user's machine being involved? -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Anyone tried Linux desktop virtualization with NComputing L230
by Arun Khan 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

On paper the NComputing L230 looks promising, claiming compatibility with Linux. Their "middleware" desktop virtualization software posted on their website is for only one distribution specifically Ubuntu 8.10 (which has seen end of life). I installed the "middleware" software on Ubuntu 10.04 (as I did not have a 8.10 install handy) but the whole install is hosed and I have lost my 10.04 desktop! Sure I may be able to recover the installation but not without loosing time. I am downloading 8.10 and will try out the middleware on that platform later in the day. Would like to hear about your success/failure experience with NComputing L230 and Linux desktop virtualization (please mention distro name/version/arch). Thanks. -- Arun Khan

*What can the Apple iPad be used as ? * * * *iPad cannot be used as a phone because …..* ….. It cannot make calls. Period *iPad cannot be used as a replacement for your laptop or netbook because ….. * ….. It does not have a multi-tasking OS ….. It does not have a Drag & Drop file management ….. It does not have a USB port ….. Its storage maxes out at a paltry 64 GB & has no expandable memory slot ….. It does not have a HDMI port *iPad cannot be used as an Internet Browsing device because …..* ….. It does not have support for Adobe Flash which many websites use *iPad cannot be used as a replacement for Amazon’s Kindle because …..* ….. Kindle is cheaper than iPad ….. Kindle has free worldwide 3G coverage; iPad needs a $30/month data plan from AT&T ….. iPad’s IPS LCD screen causes more eye strain as compared to Kindle’s E-Ink display ….. Kindle has better battery life than iPad *iPad cannot be used as a high end gaming device because …..* ….. It has an IPS LCD display which has high motion blur as compared to OLED *iPad cannot be used as a portable TV or video player because …..* ….. It has a display aspect ratio of 4:3 instead of 16:9 ….. It has mono speakers *iPad cannot be used for video-conferencing because …..* ….. It does not have a camera *iPad cannot be used as a Navigation device because …..* ….. It does not have a GPS chip built in *And lastly…* *iPad cannot be used as a feminine hygiene product because …..* ….. It isn’t one. Don’t be confused by the name. *So what can the iPad be used as?* Well, the iPad can be used as a Digital Photo Frame. It can do that just right! But $500 for a Digital Photo Frame? Apple, can we have the next device please? -- Regards, Easwar Registered Linux user #442065

Friends, Sharing my thought(s) regarding "top-posting". May eventually succeed in allowing more of us to indulge in more of "lime and gin on a beach" (or say just lime-juice for the teetotalers). Given : top posting is inefficient and not desirable Assumption : there will always be people who * do not know this * do not understand this (see PS to this mail) * blame it on the the tools and devices they use Question to ourselves : Is it possible (i.e technically possible) to design some kind software module that can be developed as a plug-in for existing list-manager-software. The existing/current/recent archives of the list would be a sort of backend-reference database for this software module. The module would use some available lexical- parsing engines and/or its own logic as a backbone. The module would parse, edit and/or re-arrange incoming mail trails so that they are suitably trimmed (of legacy mail trails) and re-sequenced to comply with the very desirable bottom-posting convention. Anyone looking for an useful project in our LUG world ? ;-) Then this is food-for-thought (and action) :-) If many of us feel this is viable or plausible, I believe it may just be the most sustainable approach to crack this top-posting issue, and quickly go back for more "Lime and gin on a beach". Thanks for your time. VK PS. Saw this somewhere on the net (cant remember now). Kept a copy to help explain to the newbies... top-posting A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail? bottom-posting Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail? A: Top-posting. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Abhishek Amberkar [अभिषेक] <abhishek.amberkar(a)gmail.com> Date: 2010/7/5 Subject: Getting "grub>" prompt after booting in Ubuntu 10.04 To: Kaustubh Kurambhatti <kaussie.27(a)gmail.com> Hi friends, I had WinXP and Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my system. I replaced WinXP with Win7 and lost GRUB (Legacy). Now my system started booting directly into Win7. So I tried installing GRUB (Legacy) again with Ubuntu live cd. But this time I end up removing NT loader as well and now I just get grub> prompt when I boot my system. I am able to boot Ubuntu manually from grub> prompt. So I did and created new menu.lst with all the commands and options I used to do manual boot But still no luck, everytime I boot my system I get GRUB prompt. == My customized menu.lst == default 0 timeout 10 color cyan/blue white/blue title Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic root (hd0,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=/dev/sda10 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic quiet title Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (recovery mode) root (hd0,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=/dev/sda10 ro single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic title Other operating systems: root title Microsoft Windows XP Professional rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 ==== == menu.lst generated using update-grub == ## ## End Default Options ## title Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic uuid f6f6c34c-25a3-4542-8247-e592a60cb30b kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=UUID=8fcc0582-aa5b-4e4f-9f0b-05b160473842 ro quiet splash initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic quiet title Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (recovery mode) uuid f6f6c34c-25a3-4542-8247-e592a60cb30b kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=UUID=8fcc0582-aa5b-4e4f-9f0b-05b160473842 ro single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic title Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, memtest86+ uuid f6f6c34c-25a3-4542-8247-e592a60cb30b kernel /memtest86+.bin quiet ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST == fdisk -l (after manual boot from GRUB) == root@kaustubh-desktop:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000080 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 26 287 2104515 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda2 288 38913 310263345 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 288 6661 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda6 6662 19409 102398278+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda7 19410 19895 3903763+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda8 19896 19913 144553+ 83 Linux /dev/sda9 19914 29396 76172166 83 Linux /dev/sda10 29397 38913 76445271 83 Linux == mount (after manual boot from GRUB)== root@kaustubh-desktop:~# mount | grep sd /dev/sda10 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) /dev/sda8 on /boot type ext3 (rw,relatime) /dev/sda9 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime) In GRUB prompt I tried setup(hd0,7) setup(hd0) setup(hd0,0) but I still get grub> prompt.
