GmBH -- what is it?
by Roshan 16 May '10

16 May '10

List, I have been trying to find what 'GmBH' is under the context of a bash shell /Linux distro. Most search engines only return the 'financial' term used in Germany (typically) and some countries in EU. (bailout effect? ;) ) None of them return anything pertinent to Linux or GNU or any other FOSS. Could somebody let me know what that is for? (Was it related to an environment variable?) -- Roshan Baladhanvi

[off-topic] Wireless Modem/Router
by Sahil Dave 15 May '10

15 May '10

Dear All, I am planning to take a broadband connection from MTNL Mumbai. But the initial CPE charges that they take seem to be quite high. I read the mails which discussed about the pros & cons of MTNL broadband. Since I am from Delhi, and MTNL has got a good reputation out there, I am going with it. I plan to buy a wireless modem/router of my own before booking the connection. Can you guys suggest some good make/model# of wireless modem/router that work smoothly with both linux and mtnl? Also, I am new in Mumbai, and don't have any idea on the popular places to look out for computer hardware. Thanks Sahil Dave

Linksys Spa3102 regional settings.
by gurteshwar singh 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hi, I have a linksys spa3102 voip adapter. I've been trying to set it up with FreeSwitch and integrate my PSTN line. After repeated attempts I was getting nowhere when I finally looked at regional settings. I've tried various configs and am now reasonably sure that its an issue with regional settings. I reset the spa3102 to default settings, and plugged in the PSTN phone line into fxo and an analong phone into fxs. There is no network cable connected and no sort of PBX involved. When I call my PSTN number, the phone at fxs does ring but a call is not being established. If I answer the phone, there is no call established and it disconnects in 2 sec. and I get a disconn tone, while the caller continues to hear the PSTN number ring. Same thing if the call goes unanswered. The PSTN line status on the spa3102 shows Last Call Disconn. reason: CPC Signal. I think I am correct in assuming that there is no point in any further configuration attempts until I manage to get this call established first. Should this plug and play setup be working by default on every spa3102 if regional settings are correct? If that is the case then it mostly seems like an issue with regional settings. I looked at the voxilla forums and other places and tried whatever regional tone settings I could find for India. Nothing has worked so far. When I bring in the PBX into the picture, I have no problem with my phone working as an sip extension doing everything that is configured just as any other softphone would do. The problem is with PSTN and I suspect its regional settings. Where can I find the correct settings? If anybody has this device configured, please drop me a line. Thanks

[commercial][cross-post] Launch of FOSS Site Muktware
by Swapnil Bhartiya 04 May '10

04 May '10

Hi friends, I have been working as a foss journalist for over 6 years now. I am glad to share with you that we are launching 'muktware.com', a complete FOSS and Linux website. In addition to regular sections (which you can see on the site) we will be adding more feature in the coming week which include: 1. Job Postings. If you have a job opening at you company you can publish it on Muktware.com 2. We realize should create a comprehensive directory of Indian Foss Professionals. The major focus of this feature is exposure. Potential clients/employers can scan the database and connect with you. 3. Event postings. If you are planning an event, you can post it on Muktware.com thus reaching out to more visitors. 4. Foss Yellow Pages. A comprehensive list of small and big Foss Firms, consultants and services. 5. Mailing Lists, Projects and much more. We are also working on creating a comprehensive directory of various Foss related mailing lists and projects so that it is easier for the community to reach out to right people. You can send inputs about the above mentioned features to the editor. All these features will always remain 'free' (as in beer) for the community members. Please have a look at Muktware.com and share with us your valuable inputs. Swapnil Bhartiya PS: Muktware runs on GLAMP stack, Drupal and releases all its content under CC License.

Ubuntu 10.04 installation Report
by Rony 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hello, As the latest distros get released, users of older computers have to think twice before installing them since the latest ones are heavier and can slow down the computer. For that reason I had removed Kubuntu 9.04 from my system and reverted back to Debian 5 (Lenny). My system is a P4 2.4 GHZ on an Intel 845 board with 512 MB RAM. KDE4's successors are getting more and more heavy and make them practically unusable on older P4 systems. Then came Ubuntu 10.04 and I had to install its 64 bit version on another machine. Just to see how it looked and felt, I tried the 32 bit CD cd on my own system and was pretty impressed by its sleek look and speed, even in the live CD mode. The menu was fast to access and programs opened reasonably fast. 10.4 has all the latest versions of Firefox, OpenOffice etc. This distro was definitely designed for agility. Since I am a KDE user and to be fair to KDE4.x, the Kubuntu 10.04 Cd was downloaded and tried out live but it was very disappointing. It was slower than Gnome and the looks were very dull. The splash screen during loading had a very poor colour resolution and it looked ugly for a latest distro. The desktop too has some sky blue - gray colour combination that looks lousy. KDE4.x was its usual slow. It looked as if Kubuntu 10.04 was released just as a formality to keep up with Ubuntu 10.04. If the KDE guys are not careful, KDE will become an endangered species. They need to trim and speed it up. Ubuntu 10.04 has finally replaced Debian 5 KDE on my system and I am quite happy about it. The software package manager 'Ubuntu Software Center' is nice for those who want a gui based one. It can be deceptive and do not rely completely on the package grouping/indexing. There are many packages out of this group too and will be available if you type their name in the search query window. A queer thing I noticed was that the package 'build-essential' was not available in the default India repo. After switching to a Taiwanese repo, I got this package. Everything else went smoothly. I installed the latest HPLIP package and got my HP K-209a printing and scanning working properly. Those who want restricted packages for multimedia support and fonts can install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'. Thunderbird 3 was downloaded and Evolution was removed. Thunderbird 3 has some features of Windows Live Mail and Firefox. It has tabbed windows like Firefox and variable folder view like Windows Live Mail. This mail is being sent from Thunderbird 3. The 64 bit version was installed too on another system yesterday. Everything went fine there too. Just keep in mind that Skype's 64 bit version 2.x still does not have camera support in it. Overall Ubuntu 10.04 is a good system and very handy for those who do not have the latest hardware but want the latest software in their systems. Go ahead, enjoy it. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !

Unable to run gOS on VirtualBox
by Pratik Anand 01 May '10

01 May '10

I recently downloaded the 700 mb iso of gOS(www.thinkgos.com) for trying it out. I am using VirtualBox v3 to run gOS. But it is not booting properly. It loads up , shows option of installing and or just running without install. I choose the latter. It loads up, the desktop comes up with mouse cursor but then it is all blank. Can't see anything on the Desktop, only the mouse running over a blank screen. I think there might be some problem with Display or resolution, though have provided 700 mb RAM and 64 MB + video memory. Still, no changes in it. Rest of the OSs run smoothly under virtualized conditions. My system config is: Ubuntu Studio 9.10 2 GB Ram 128 Graphics Card (Intel 945 series) Lenovo R61 laptop -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (2nd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone

I've had a model that worked at random intervals, then started working, then stopped working again and again. I've tried BAFO and one other one. I'd suggest making on using an FT232 IC instead, which works best, although the IC itself costs about Rs.450 There's also this vendor on ebay.uk who sells a cable that works on 5V, so you don't need to convert the logic levels, but I can't find a link to the product.

This article of mine recently appeared in www.opensource.com Open Source: Modernizing India's education system Over the last few years, open source adoption has been growing within India's education system. Five years ago, the South Indian state of Kerala, pioneered open source in schools with its famous IT@Schools project, that now covers three million students from the 5th-10 standards, involves 200,000 teachers across 4071 schools. Since then, other Indian states like Karnataka, Gujarat, Assam, West Bengal and others have made open source a key part of their school education initiatives. Many schools in India do not have proper premises, blackboards or toilets. In these circumstances, equipping schools with computers seems like a challenge, despite the fact that the Indian Government has decided to spend 6 percent of GDP on education. Proprietary software vendors offer deep discounts for schools and spend close to $20 million on “Train-The-Trainer” programs that enable school teachers to impart computer education to their students. Despite these blandishments, many governments find proprietary software an expensive way of computerizing their schools. For example, a study by the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, found that the Kerala government's usage of OSS saved it Rs 49 crore ($10.2 million).

There are quite a few _free_ project hosts that allow private projects, though with limitations. Some have much more features than you do, while limiting others. You might want to compare with them and get equivalent features. I've been using http://www.xp-dev.com/ for many years now. Since I signed up (for free) when they had just gone public, I get an amazing free plan with unlimited users, private projects, and 1.5GB of space. Needless to say, I'm not shifting anywhere :D Surya Sharma

I'm pretty sure they're just piggybacking all the extra bandwidth they had left on the optical fibres they laid down for the reservation centers. Anyway, we don't need an external website, just an internal one. And well, free broadband? Its pretty good, I've never had much complains. Just the router freezing, which can be turned on / off with the switch for a quick fix.

[OT] IT and Email Security
by Rony 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hello, I was going through the news report about China having 'hacked' our defence computers and allegedly stolen some information. They are even alleged to have stolen email records of 1 year of the Dalai Lama. My query towards those who may have more information about the same is as follows. 1. Are the compromised machines running doze or Linux? If doze then they are asking for trouble. 2. Since emails are stored as a single database file, how does the attacker steal only one year's record? How does he remotely slice a database inbox file date wise and copy it unless he has had long term access to the user_name and password and keeps copying and saving mails together in a clone offline email client like Thunderbird etc. or one by one using a web interface. Otherwise he has to compromise the actual email server that is hosting the email software and steal the entire inbox file, which is more difficult. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !

FOSS Guru - the ultimate FOSS magazine
by Naveen Dhanuka 07 Apr '10

Hi all, I registered the domain FOSS Guru some time back with the help from a friend in US. I finally want to announce that I am making it a magazine now. There have been many many a magazines in and out in the market and trust me all of them have sustained only because of the free dvd they come out with it. How is FOSS Guru different? I promise if you buy one copy of the magazine, you will archive it for ever. I am targeting it at all types and calibers of users, developers, system managers and architects. My magazine will have everything for everyone. The mag might be segment specific in each issue, so a ruby developer might want to buy only the FOSS Guru – Ruby Special. I am still thinking more. You can cast your votes or send suggestions on this thread or on email address neevaan(a)gmail.com . FOSS Guru will make a mark for itself. I promise.

by narendra sisodiya 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Trin Trin, Just a reminder, 3 day left for CFP ,,, ------------------ Hi all, It's that time of the year when we all come together and help all the humans to get rid off the proprietary software, yes my friends it's time for mukt.in. We feel great pleasure to present you mukt.in 2010. This time with a totally new concept and a new home. Previous editions have successfully inspired a lot of people, specially in Hyderabad about free software and brought them to the community. But due to the active Telangana issue this year, so we are not able to have it in Hyderabad this time. So, we have shifted base to Jaipur, Rajasthan. This time we are not accepting any talks , yes that's true. Mukt.in 2010 is going to be completely workshop based. It's our belief that hands on tutorial have a greater and better impact on the ones attending then only talking, and looking at the fact, most people attending it would be students from and around jaipur, because jaipur is a hub for engineering colleges. The mukt.in team invites submissions to its official un-conference , mukt.in 2010 to be held on 23rd and 24th April 2010 at Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology (SKIT), Jaipur, Rajasthan. We cordially invite you to submit your CFP at http://mukt.in/cfp now. Important Dates and Time The last date for CFP submission is 8th April 2010. On 8th april 1200 hrs IST we will be closing the CFP window. List of selected workshops will be announced on 10th April 2010 at 0000 hrs IST Workshop submission Guidelines: 1. Interested speakers need to register on http://mukt.in 2. They will have to add a workshop using the system 3. In the add workshop system they need to mention following: a) Title of the workshop b) A detail description what they plan to do in the workshop c) Duration of the workshop d) Expertise level e) Required software to be used during the workshop f) Linux distribution they plan to use (Fedora / Ubuntu we are currently supporting) g) Any other extra material if you want to attach One can submit more than 1 workshop using the system. It will be really great if you plan to submit more than 1 workshop as it will give you ample opportunity to start from the basics and go till the advance. Mukt.in 2010 theme and suggested area for workshops As said earlier this time we are only planning to have workshops so, we like to introduce the attendees to the concept of "shut-up and hack". Our target audience will mostly be college students who will have a beginner to intermediate expertise in FOSS. Plus we are also planning to bring Rajasthan government officials / NGOs and also college faculties. We plan to organize a complete workshop dedicated to NGOs, government people and college faculties. The workshop for college faculty should preferably target FOSS tools which the faculties can use as an alternative to the existing proprietary tools. Some of the suggested topics for workshops are: * LAMP. * FOSS and electronics. * Linux system administration. * FOSS in mobile computing. * Cloud computing with FOSS. * Emerging open standards. * FOSS and multimedia. * and much more. For any further queries please write to us at: contact(a)mukt.in Thanks & Regards Mukt.in 2010 Team

With all these strict rules, I'm assuming FossDevConf aims only at expert / developers used to linux, foss, etc. If you're looking to pull in newbies, then these are too restrictive. Surya Sharma

FossDevConf

> > > With all these strict rules, I'm assuming FossDevConf aims only at expert / > developers used to linux, foss, etc. If you're looking to pull in newbies, > then these are too restrictive. > but newbies are supposed to sit as audience and there is not restriction on them. Also, I do not feel these as restriction on speaker, These are just guidelines. Basically I attend some conference where Windows was used for ppt presentation. Although those speaker are taking about FOSS but it do not match with true spirit of FOSS and Open world. For example a totally new bies when attend fossdevconf or simila event where he will find every speaker using non-windows stuff, this will make a positive impact on him. Please reply back how to feel.. on this ? ┌─────────────────────────┐ > │ Narendra Sisodiya ( नरेन्द्र सिसोदिया ) > │ Society for Knowledge Commons > │ Web : http://narendra.techfandu.org > └─────────────────────────┘ > Firstly, I'd request you to keep this on the mailing list, because the power of crowd can't be beaten. Secondly, disclaimer, I'm a windows user, and my hand really flies across it when I'm using it. I'm not a hardcore developer, just some programming here / there on PHP or microcontrollers (C). I do use linux, multiple distro's, but spend most of the time on windows / winblows etc. I also got Windows for free from M$ under a certain unrelated engineering subscription. There's two ways of losing an addiction, the cold turkey way, and the slow way. The cold turkey way is awesome, but doesn't work for everyone. Also, I study in a college where the students / crowd isn't very technically inclined (including Engineering students doing Computer sciences). I found that showing them open source on windows worked much better than doing an install fest and throwing them into the linux world. Once they were comfortable with technical aspects like SVN, command line etc, then introducing them to linux worked better. (compared to direct installfest, where most of the students were noting down steps on a notebook, but not getting the steps. So imho, there should always be a basic workshop / lecture on FOSS philosophies and applications in Windows to get the newbies into the scene. After all, most of us are here because of our hatred to Windows / OS X :) Surya Sharma

muk.in 2010: call for papers
by vivek khurana 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hi all, It's that time of the year when we all come together and help all the humans to get rid off the proprietary software, yes my friends it's time for mukt.in. We feel great pleasure to present you mukt.in 2010. This time with a totally new concept and a new home. Previous editions have successfully inspired a lot of people, specially in Hyderabad about free software and brought them to the community. But due to the active Telangana issue this year, so we are not able to have it in Hyderabad this time. So, we have shifted base to Jaipur, Rajasthan. This time we are not accepting any talks , yes that's true. Mukt.in 2010 is going to be completely workshop based. It's our belief that hands on tutorial have a greater and better impact on the ones attending then only talking, and looking at the fact, most people attending it would be students from and around jaipur, because jaipur is a hub for engineering colleges. The mukt.in team invites submissions to its official un-conference , mukt.in 2010 to be held on 23rd and 24th April 2010 at Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology (SKIT), Jaipur, Rajasthan. We cordially invite you to submit your CFP at http://mukt.in/cfp now. Important Dates and Time The last date for CFP submission is 8th April 2010. On 8th april 1200 hrs IST we will be closing the CFP window. List of selected workshops will be announced on 10th April 2010 at 0000 hrs IST Workshop submission Guidelines: 1. Interested speakers need to register on http://mukt.in 2. They will have to add a workshop using the system 3. In the add workshop system they need to mention following: a) Title of the workshop b) A detail description what they plan to do in the workshop c) Duration of the workshop d) Expertise level e) Required software to be used during the workshop f) Linux distribution they plan to use (Fedora / Ubuntu we are currently supporting) g) Any other extra material if you want to attach One can submit more than 1 workshop using the system. It will be really great if you plan to submit more than 1 workshop as it will give you ample opportunity to start from the basics and go till the advance. Mukt.in 2010 theme and suggested area for workshops As said earlier this time we are only planning to have workshops so, we like to introduce the attendees to the concept of "shut-up and hack". Our target audience will mostly be college students who will have a beginner to intermediate expertise in FOSS. Plus we are also planning to bring Rajasthan government officials / NGOs and also college faculties. We plan to organize a complete workshop dedicated to NGOs, government people and college faculties. The workshop for college faculty should preferably target FOSS tools which the faculties can use as an alternative to the existing proprietary tools. Some of the suggested topics for workshops are: * LAMP. * FOSS and electronics. * Linux system administration. * FOSS in mobile computing. * Cloud computing with FOSS. * Emerging open standards. * FOSS and multimedia. * and much more. For any further queries please write to us at: contact(a)mukt.in Thanks & Regards Mukt.in 2010 Team -- blog: http://www.vivekkhurana.net/no-mind

Learning Linux

> Hello, > > I am new to this group. I am new in the city of Mumbai. So I would > like to know the details of good institutes for learning Linux in > Mumbai I think most of us would suggest learning it yourself compared to learning from an institute. People who say linux is tough probably didn't do it right. If you've _never_ used linux before, try using wubi ( http://wubi-installer.org/ ) to install Ubuntu on the computer. It will let you experience linux in a surface manner, and once you're comfortable, switch to another distro. > Surya Sharma > me(a)suryas.info > 9920482321 Just realised I spammed the list with a bad reply.

Scrolling tv announcements
by Surya Sharma 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

> > I will probably be asking them for advice on how to go about it Well, if you take the video out from Tatasky you can pretty much do whatever to that feed without the server knowing anything. Their T&C mentions that you shouldn't be recording the video, so have a look at the manual to clarify that. Here's a simple way to do what you want to do: All you need is a Graphics card with Video (or S-video) out, and an video + audio input card. Set your video out as a monitor, then on that monitor: Play the video on the system using any app that works. Create an app or use some that will act like a ticker. You could just make a gif or flash animation for that. Keep this application over the video. Use the video out from the PC as your final video.

grub rescue: rescue me, scary ubuntu 9.10, beware!
by jitendra 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Can any one help me : two of my PCs have gone into 'grub rescue'. I tried (now I think foolishly) to install ubuntu 9.10 (which has this new grub animal 'grub 2') . And that is buggy. I just dont know how to come out. Very strange and *S C A R Y * 1. One machine has existing windows. It had ubuntu 8.04 . I deleted the partition so I could install ubuntu 9.10 . Now the machine refuses to recognise usb stick, usb CDROM so I cannt even boot from them. 2. Other laptop : i thought I will not touch the system that is working fine( ubuntu 9.04) So I used USB CDROM and ubuntu 9.10 disc on it to create a usb stick for 9.10. I did boot from USB CD and chose the stick to install and chose not to install grub as I wanted only one OS on the stick and thought grub will be redundant. (While installing it had asked location of grub on HD(0) etc and that was not relevant . I thought). So I happily ended the process disconnected USB CD ROM drive and restarted the laptop and again I got the sacry 'grub rescue >' prompt I looked up help on the net but , like some previous sufferers , I got no good help. I am sure there is some good help I can use. -- jitendra

Booting from USB stick : is it ubuntu 9.10 problem
by jitendra 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

I had reported problem of grub rescue on two machines earlier. Gladly that has been solved completely in one of my two machines. However on the second one, somehow my USB CDROM is not recognised. So I tried to create a USB stick. I could do so very well. However when I use this on the PC, the cursor gets stuck on prompts as this _____________________________________________________________ SYSLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 CBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin boot: ________________________________________________________ Nothing happens. The google showed a following comment which was discoraging __________________________________________________ Comment #9.1 by: *DaveP* on 09 Dec 2009, 20:05 GMT Apart from each time I tried to use USB disk creator in 9.10, it failed to create a disk. Did same on 9.04 and it worked fine, so must be something to do with the first cuts of Karmic, which I am sure will be ironed out after a few weeks. 8.10 and 9.04 created USB startup disks just fine. ___________________________________________- Any clue? -- jitendra

Please suggest USB NICs that are supported by Linux

I need to add an additional ethernet interface in a router box and I have run out of PCI slots (board does not have any PCI-express). However, there are a bunch of unused USB ports that I can use. Please suggest USB NICs that are supported by Linux *and* available @ Lam Road. Brand/Model and shop name would be highly appreciated. Speed is less important, as long as I can get about 10Mbps on the iface - it will be used to connect to the ISP link. TIA -- Arun Khan

Stop a nuclear disaster
by navneetrastogi99＠gmail.com 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi , Our government is churning out one hazardous bill after another. This time it is a bill called the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage, and it's coming up for a vote in a couple of days. The bill lets U.S. corporations off the hook for any nuclear accidents they cause on Indian soil. They'd only have to pay a meagre amount, and Indian taxpayers would be stuck paying crores for the nuclear clean up and to compensate the victims. Without any public debate, the Prime Minister is appeasing American interests and ignoring our safety. Greenpeace is launching a petition asking the PM to hold a public consultation before introducing the bill. I have already signed this petition. Can you join me?

Configuring syslog
by Mayank 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Hi, I have been trying to configure arpwatch on my Linux LAN. arpwatch has no configuration parameter which allows me to send logs to a particular file and all the logs are being sent to /var/log/messages. Can someone please explain how to stop a daemon like arpwatch to stop populating /var/log/messages and instead redirect all logs to some other file say /var/log/arpwatch.log. I guess I need to modify /etc/syslog.conf in order to accomplish this. I modified /etc/syslog.conf and it now looks like: ================== # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* -/var/log/maillog # Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron # Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg * # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler # Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log !arpwatch *.* /var/log/arpwatch.log ================= Now all my logs for arpwatch are getting recorded to /var/log/arpwatch.log along with /var/log/messages. However I'm still unable to stop arpwatch from populating /var/log/messages. Regards, Mayank -- Today is tommorrow I was so worried about yesterday ...
