[Announce] HTML.Template java
by Philip S Tellis 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

Announcing HTML.Template java package to use HTML Templates in your java programs. HTML.Template aims to be 100% compatible with the HTML::Template perl module. http://html-tmpl-java.sourceforge.net/ Distributed under GPL/Artistic licence (you choose). Why I wrote it: I really don't like java, and I really like perl, so I prefer to write my code in perl and then port it to java if I'm required to. HTML.Template means my templates stay the same. besides, it separates design, content and logic, which is what good programming is all about anyway.

When you do 'make install' as the last step of installation, most programs create files in /usr/local/*. E.g. the program binary may reside in /usr/local/bin and any shared libraries in /usr/local/lib. At least, they'll create a symlink in these places.

ext3 vs Reiserfs
by Nikhil Joshi 08 Mar '02

08 Mar '02

Hi! After having a really bad xperience with ext2 I installed RHL 7.2 with ext3 Earlier I had experimented with Reiserfs and found this interesting thing: I have /home partition (not containing ANY data ) of about 125 MB and I converted it to Reiserfs and surprisingly 33 MB was used (probably for journalling puposes) Now on another Linux forum one user claimed that he had used most of the journalling filesystems and found Reiserfs to be best and fastest. Also I have read that Reiserfs journals only metadata while ext3 journals both metadata and data. I have given a lot of thought but converting / to Reiser is very difficult.Has anyone tried this? So which is the best filesystem ext3 or Reiser? -- Money may buy friendship but money cannot buy love.

I do most of my regular work on Linux. However, I do use M$ for wordprocessing and games. I have never used IE even on Windows (although I have run it under Linux with Wine, just for kicks)... I use Opera AbiWord is decent for basic stuff like hacking out a simple letter etc., but is really very inadequate for anything beyond that. I haven't used Kword. I used to use StarOffice 5.2 for a while but it was very slow and buggy. Anything slower and buggier than M$ software is a VERY bad piece of software. I haven't used the latest staroffice, though. For image editing, The Gimp rocks. X-Fig is great for drawing figures. Its got a rather tacky and kludgy interface but is very powerful if you spend 30 mins figuring it out. X-CD Roast is generally adequate for burning CDs, but can't write multisession CDs E-mail handling is miles ahead on *nix than anything Billy Boy can ever dream of.

sspearheading the movement
by Trevor Warren 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

Dear Luggers...... yesterday after consultation with dr.nagarjun i hav mailed u a modified version of the draft proposed by Mr.lakdawala of fsf india. The draft according to him proposes to take Free SOftware to the masses by introducing the concept of Free SOftware in all the schools and colleges all around india. We second this opinion of his and i would like to personally thank him for putting down the proposal in such a neat format for others to make use of. From the perspective of the lug, we would like to propogate/market Free Software and also make it our aim to introduce Gnu/Linux to the various budding students all over india. Thus in this initiative of our i would like to start with all the Engineering Colleges in and around bbay and Maharashtra. Just recently we concluded a very very FRUITFUL trip to Rajaram Bapu College Of Engineering, Kolhapur which saw the Dr.Nagarjun nd the others delivering 3 quality dayz of trainin nd introduction on Free SOftware and Linux to 70 buddin engineers......soem of whom hav even joined the ILUG-BOM mailin list. For the 1st workshop, i spent close to 6000/- from my pocket which later was re-imbursed by the college authorities. I tool this liberty since i knew the college management personally. I know the comercial part out here is tricky......nd the lug has had a bad xperience leavin it with a sour taste in it's mouth. But if i am goin to co-ordiante these workshops on a routine basis i expect some financial support and backing. After pondering abt it for sometime, dr. nagarjun suggested that we could dash the feelers/letter to the various colleges all over bombay,Maharashtra nd after havin comfirmed dates in hand abt the event propose to the FSF abt our initiative. FSF then agress to sanction some funds for us to further the cause and we carry out the preps. I further would like to mention another of dr.nags suggestion. We could also conduct a few commercial workshops asap and garner some funds enough for us to continue with our cause in spreading the word of Free SOftware......Nd this time around we'l take the precautions to prevent us burnin our fingers the way we did last time. Pliss enlist ur comments...so that we can hav a final letter drafted and a core set of volunteers i can bank upon for logistics, event management and speakers for the workshops. Last time dinesh, parag, navin had volutneerd to come along.......Letz get kickin and get the ground work done.

HI to all, Mr.Bhargav had a problem on ftp server setup.Problem is he is not able to enable ftp service in redhat7.2. In this case what you have to do is: 1. login as a root account. 2. execute setup #setup 3. Select system services options 4. In that list, enable wu-ftpd and also disable iptables,ipchains(also disable unmanted services like httpd,lpd because it will slowdown the system) 5. Execute following scripts: #/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart #/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop #/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop 6. Create your users as usual.

Linux on Windows 2000
by Kunal Gangakhedkar 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Sorry for starting a new thread in this topic. Actually, I don't know how far people have gone in this thread. Well, I heard someone calling upon Cygwin, hence I'm here. This mail is intended for people who want Linux on Win2k only for development kinda thing, otherwise you can use VMWare to install the complete Linux inside Win2k. Mind you, even though VMWare create a swap file for Linux filesystem, it is damn fast as compared to Linux on FAT32. Ok, regarding the development kinda thing : Currently there are at least 3 active projects which are targeted at porting GNU utils on Windows. 1. Cygwin : A project by RedHat Inc. - The only drawbacks are huge size & needs to be installed online(I guess) Otherwise a good piece of software. Allows creation of DLLs as well. www.sources.redhat.com/cygwin 2. MingW : This project is currently unmaintained as far as GNU compliance goes - started out with GNU compliance. This is now part of a project called BloodShed Compilers - again free. www.mingw.org, google for Bloodshed And my favourite : 3. DJGPP : This is a full-fledged suite of GNU Utils including different shells, compilers, E-Macs, binutis, filutils etc. This project is maintained by a guy named DJ Delorie & others. Very good in all respects & actively maintained. Though the size of the project is large about 200 MB - including all additional libraries like ALLEGRO - A Low - LEvel Game ROutine for game development etc, it is distributed as small parts in form of zips. This is an Open Source project, so can get the source code if anyone wants. I use it on Win2k at home - without any problems. It uses COFF with MS-DOS stub (header) added. If anyone is interested, check out the site : www.delorie.com/djgpp Kunal ------------------ A computer scientist is someone who fixes things that aren't broken.

[LINK] - Flaw weakens Linux security software
by Navin Dhanuka 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

http://news.com.com/2100-1001-848467.html http://www.netfilter.org/security/2002-02-25-irc-dcc-mask.html http://news.com.com/2100-1001-835602.html http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2002-028.html By Stephen Shankland Staff Writer, CNET News.com February 28, 2002, 5:30 PM PT Programmers have found a vulnerability in Linux that could allow protective firewall software to grant malicious computer users access to protected networks. The flaw, which affects versions 2.4.14 through 2.4.18-pre9 of the Linux kernel, is in a component of the Netfilter firewall software. The component is involved when two computer users chat directly with each other using the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) system. Information sent across the Internet is broken up into tiny "packets," each with "from" and "to" addresses, indicating who's sent the information and where it's intended to go. So-called firewall software transmits or screens out these packets based on the address of the sender. Netfilter, among the new aspects of the 2.4 version of the Linux kernel, is software that runs within the kernel to filter out unwanted packets. But its IRC helper component configures firewall settings too broadly, potentially allowing communication from IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that should be blocked. Programmers working on the Netfilter firewall software project reported the problem Monday. Versions 7.1 and 7.2 of leading Linux seller Red Hat's product are vulnerable. The Durham, N.C.-based company issued a patch Thursday that corrects the problem. The flawed software isn't installed by default on the Red Hat versions, the company said, but some users may have added it. Security is a nagging concern for the computer industry, which must juggle new features with the risk that they open up new problems. While the firewall problem the Netfilter programmers discovered is limited to a few versions of Linux, a more serious problem emerged earlier this month affecting numerous operating systems using standard network management software. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Yes, It doesnt load on startup. wu-ftpd will be started by `xinetd' whenever you try to connect to it using a FTP client. `xinetd' should be running for this to happen. First `su' to root. Then enable wu-ftpd by setting the option `disable = no' in the file /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd. Then start xinetd by doing /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start OR if xinetd is already running do /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart Abhir _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

FTP Problem

Oops... I am sorry for posting the subject incorrectly. So here we go This may seem redundant but I need the solution to my problem and any feedback will be appreciated. I am want to set up an FTP only server on my desktop computer's linux partition so that I can share files with my friends as I used to in windows using Serv U. I don't intend to use this computer as a server for any other type of protocol such as HTTP, etc. I have the wu-ftp daemon (wu-ftpd) installed on my Red Hat 7.2 partition. Now here is my problem. How do I setup user a/cs for my FTP server. I know the answer to this is rather easy but despite hours of scratching my head over it, I am not able to do it.....dunno why.....also, wu-ftpd does not load on start up....{or so I think}...thanx in advance...

When I started out, I was averse to the command line too. But as I began discovering commands for things that went click-click, I found myself using the command line more and more. The reason is simple - it's easier to issue a command than fire up a GUI, sift thru the tabs and buttons et al. Say, you want to add a user to a new group. How'd you do it in GUI? Fire up Linuxconf, expand the trees till you reach the users area (I've forgotten what Linuxconf looked like, so it's a somewhat inexact reproduction), click on that user and then in his/her property sheet, specify the group somewhere. That done, you click the "Activate" button and then "Quit" hoping that things went fine. Same thing on the command line: # usermod -G <group>[, ...] <user> There's a command - apropos - that searches for the supplied keywords in short descriptions of all the entries in man pages. So, if you're looking for disk management commands, you can do: $ apropos disk and get a list of commands that have the word "disk" in their descriptions. I don't say that GUI is bad. The user should figure out when to use what tool. As a rule of thumb, use a GUI tool when you are going to use a majority of the features it offers. So I may use LinuxConf when I get down to configuring my system after a fresh install. But not for the occasional tweaks and mods.

Fwd: GPL is taking court action
by Navin Dhanuka 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

GPL is taking court action against a violator. The FSF is taking legal action against "Progress Software Corp." who attempted to ship a binary of "Gemini" -- a mysql storage module without providing sources. Progress Software sells a CDROM called NuSphere MySQL Advantage. This contains various applications like Apache, PHP and MySQL. As a very important part of HA database services and crash recovery, Gemini is very popular. But the source code is under wraps . ie A GPL violation by Progress Software. The question is not about GPL standing for trial, but the point about MySQL AB selling ``dual licensed'' editions and Progress Software not being allowed. IMHO GPL will win ! [-SNIP-] EBEN MOGLEN's Affidavit : 19-a.. Redistribution must itself occur under GPL and only GPL, with no additional license conditions. (See Exhibit B, §2(b)); 19-b.. Redistribution must include ``source code,'' the human-readable form of computer programs that allows programmers to understand and modify computer programs for themselves, as opposed to ``object code,'' which is the ``machine language'' version of computer programs that is very difficult for programmers to understand or modify 19-c.. Redistribution must include a copy of the GPL, so that users are aware of their rights to use, copy, modify and distribute, and so that anyone engaged in redistribution is also aware of the conditions under which redistribution is permitted. ...... 35.. I then checked whether the source code of the Gemini component of mysqld was available. I saw that it was not. I used standard tools to ``recompile'' mysqld, which means to rebuild the program from the parts provided, and discovered that the rebuilt mysqld did not include Gemini capacity. In a manual distributed in the portion of the CD only related to Windows users I found the statement that ```GEMINI' tables will be included in some future MySQL 3.23.X source distribution.'' ...... 38.. Under GPL §4, I conclude, Progress Software Corp. lost the right to distribute MySQL when it distributed NuSphere MySQL Advantage in a fashion that violated GPL.

ACM Seminar
by Philip S Tellis 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Friday, March 1, 2002 - 6:30 p.m. Title: Reinforcement Learning Speaker: Jayprasad J. Hegde Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu Abstract: Reinforcement Learning is all about simulating the manner in which humans would go about learning in real life. So, if you were presented with a game of chess and you did not know how to play it, how would you go about learning it? How would you go about learning it if you were told that out of the six games you played only 2 resulted in a victory? How do you figure out which game you have won? How do you figure out which strategies were successful or which strategies are a strict no-no? These are some of the issues you would face when posed a problem of learning a new concept, or in this case learning a new game. These are exactly the same issues which a system would have to deal with if it were to ever try and learn something using trial-and-error. Now, consider the implications of using such a learning mechanism: exploring the surface of Mars by learning how to navigate on-the-fly, building a world-class checkers-playing program using GAs and NNs, learning to acquire "soft" versions of a dictionary given a parallel corpus, learning new strategies for computer-controlled opponents in the latest 3D first-person shooting game... the list goes on. If you've missed out on the Machine Learning seminar given previously, then this would be a good time to attend the second of the Machine Learning seminars viz. Reinforcement Learning, since, we will recap some of the pertinent basics of Machine Learning, cover the basics of Reinforcement Learning, discuss some of the technologies involved and then round-off with a motivating case study. About the Speaker: Jayprasad J. Hegde is a fitness-freak going under the guise of a Computer Scientist in the KBCS division at NCST. He claims to be working in the field of Natural Language Technology and have interests in Machine Learning, but one is rarely fortunate enough to see him around and confirm this. His only proof of existence seems to come from some of the articles that he keeps writing rather frequently, his knack for being available for "important" occasions like someone's birthday-treat and his picture on the his home-page. If you have seen him in your locality please dial KBCS and inform them. Please do not expect any rewards for doing so.

Re[2]: [ILUG-BOM] Problem the older BIOS
by Vinay Pai 01 Mar '02

> Well, > Goldie, I don't understand one thing..... > Your OS is supposed to communicate with BIOS for any device queries. > So if your BIOS itself is not reporting beyond 8GB, how can any OS > detect more than that?? > ( Correct me if I'm wrong........ ) Yep... you are wrong. The BIOS used to play a major role during the 16-bit real mode days. DOS used the bios for I/O as did Win3.x and (I think) Win95. Modern OSes talk directly to the disk controller, so after the kernel is loaded the BIOS has no role to play. Thus it is important for the Kernel to be located somewhere the BIOS can access it, but after that it doesn't matter. For Linux this means LILO uses the BIOS but the Kernel doesn't. > Maybe, the best solution could be to upgrade the BIOS or change the > motherboard / BIOS chip. > By this, you'll get rid of any more problems to come. > The new BIOS chips cost about 500 - 800 bucks, I'm not sure just check > it out with a h/w vendor. Its not that simple... BIOSes are very hardware dependent [snip] > The 1024 Cyl. problem is easy to solve. > Just use LBA32 extensions of new LILO. If you BIOS doesn't detect large drives it is quite likely that it doesn't support LBA32 either. LBA32 is a BIOS funda, not LILO.

And that's because PC became an open standard in Hardware. If you still think otherwise, Mac came up with a GUI and mouse much earlier than MS. Mac users still swear by the ease of use that Mac OS offers. Why then aren't we all using Macs? AFA the business model of GPL is considered, well, just concentrate on what Trevor is saying - promotion of Open Software in Schools/Colleges. What are you taught in Schools/Colleges? Basic fundamentals like Algorithms, PLs etc. Do we really need VC++ to teach somebody to program in C++? Of course not. People learn DBMS starting with Oracle / MS SQL. At UG level, they hardly go beyond SQL 92 Statements. That they can as easily do in PostgreSQL too. And please don't base your arguments on the de facto standard that MS Office has become in Office Apps. Office Apps aren't the end of the world. The user ignorance has reached to such levels that people don't even look at Notepad. They'll use MS Word even for 1-pagers they never intend to print. Isn't HTML good enough for on-screen formatting? When it comes to businesses, just tell me how much money does a company make out of selling mass-market apps? As compared to the custom solutions, this percentage is not too much. And no body stops you from building proprietary solutions on top of Free Software. I can deliver my customer a web application built using PostgreSQL/PHP/Apache and retain all Property rights without violating GPL. That's because my application *uses* free software. It's not *comprised* of it. This is a difference many people fail to understand or choose to ignore while arguing against GPLed software. Schools being the foundation builders that they are should definitely use Free Software so that they can provide better Computer Labs and powerful software without blowing through the school budget or tying the students down to some proprietary software they'd be reluctant to move out of. --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://tahirhashmi.scriptmania.com mailme(a)tahirhashmi.scriptmania.com __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed 2,000,000,000 Web Pages--you only need 1.

looking for mail client
by Manish Jethani 25 Feb '02

25 Feb '02

I'm looking for a [gui] mail client that (doesn't suck): 1) Allows me to use any smtp server (with authorization) 2) Supports pop3 at least. imap4 is optional 3) Works in ``offline mode''. That is, when I'm offline, it should queue the mails and only attempt to contact the smtp server when I go online (as in outlook). Should not depend on /usr/lib/sendmail in any way. 4) Supports mail filtering and sorting, pref. with the help of procmail. i.e. it should use procmail if I ask it to. 5) Stores mail in mbox format. 6) Supports search through messages by regex. 7) Let's me use Vim as editor for composing mails. I can add more to the list, but this much will do. Pine doesn't have 1 (auth), 2, 3, 4, 6. Mutt, AFAIK, doesn't have 1, 4. Most GUI clients don't have 6 and 7. Outlook doesn't have 5, 6, 7 (and 4, if you don't like the message rules in outlook). I've been living with sendmail+fetchmail+procmail+pine+vim all this while but I want something easier now. I want to get rid of sendmail in that equation. I'd like something like Outlook plus a portable file format, regex searches, procmail-like rules, and the ``Let Me Use VIM'' feature. Suggestions?

ODBC DSN Configuration
by Pankaj Jangid 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

Hi All, I have a java application which uses jdbc-odbc bridge. Now I have two options for deploying that application on a linux machine:- 1. Modify the source to use JDBC driver to connect to MSSQL server. 2. Configure ODBC DSN on linux machine. Which method is better ? I tried configuring ODBC DSN but couldn't succeed. One more doubt. If I modify the source to use JDBC driver (freetds-java) then is it sufficient to modify only Class.forName() statement ? regards -- Pankaj Jangid National Centre for Software Technology Yahoo-msnger : pankaj_jangid GPG Public Key : http://ashoka.ncst.ernet.in/~pankaj/gpg.txt

VRAM is used to store a "snapshot" of your screen, and the size of a snapshot depends only on the resolution and color depth. The reason why GNOME taxes the display H/W is because the themes that use textured backgrounds or mouse-overs etc. require more processing but not necessarily more VRAM. Icons, panel etc. don't use up any more VRAM (they use system RAM and CPU, though). You can make GNOME run easy on the display by using plain Jane themes and lightweight WM's like TWM. Still, it's not going to affect system RAM requirements (so it's not light). It is not going to do much for movies either, because you still can't do anything about the H/W acceleration that you're missing. >I always thought that drivers made for a specific hardware were much better >than those made for a generic ones.

GNOME/KDE not light as in they require more system RAM. That shouldn't have much to do with VRAM. SiS cards, even if detected (like 6326), are driven by the SVGA X Server, instead of the Accelerated X Server. That's what causes the performance lag. Also, w/o hardware acceleration for video, the CPU speed also comes into picture along with the system load. >I have the same card and making X window run in 16 bit is a huge achievement >.
