http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2006-08-25-027-26-OP-CY-KN This, today, is a number of great significance to the Linux community. It represents the exact number of days that Linux has officially been in existence. For it was 15 years ago today that Linus Torvalds first posted his message to the comp.os.minix newsgroup, asking for feedback on this nifty little OS that he hoped might one day support some of the 386 and 486 AT clones that were cutting edge PC technology in 1991. ... -- __________________________ http://www.ebackend.com/blog

problem, nopernicus does not speak every time gnome starts
by krishnakant Mane 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

hello all, I had previously asked for some help on getting gnopernicus to talk. actually I was successfull in getting it talk when I login in my ubuntu desktop. however now the problem is that although my sound card is working quite well, gnopernicus does not start talking every time I start ubuntu. the situation is like this. when I login on my ubuntu desktop, I can hear the login sound. after that my sited colligue told me that the gnopernicus menu comes up with startup mode preferences and all the remaining options in the menu. but it does not talk. what could be the problem? by the way when gnopernicus was actually talking, I could not even adjust the rate of speach etc. and when I change the pitch or volume there is no effect. is it due to the sound card problem? my card is creative vibra 128. but it is not in the the list of sound cards on my system > sound option. Please help. thanking all. Krishnakant.

[ILUG-BOM] Free GNU/Linux Distributions, Audience at public lecture, FC 5 (3rd CD)
by Roshan 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hello List, 1. Has anyone in the list tried out a _true_ GNU/Linux based OS? http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions I would be glad if anyone could burn a copy of AGNULA LIVE CD on my media (CD-R). 2. Is there some data on the exact number of people who are going to attend the public lecture? (I would surely attend, if I don't have lectures at college.) 3. If someone can burn a copy of FC5 CD 3 and give to me on 27 at the public lecture, I would be thankful. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I plan to install Kubuntu on my new hard disk, being used to K Desktop Environment. I had planned it to buy this month, but may be I'll have to wait for one more month. The purpose of asking that question was whether people have been able to _completely_ migrate to non-free software. It may not be possible till people are ready to compromise, which they cannot be forced to, but given an option to choose. > linux is the same. Yes they are! (at the core). Though, I don't want to start a flame or controversial topic, I would request you to refer to the OS as GNU/Linux and the kernel as Linux. (though, Linus himeself said, "its ridiculous") > I will give you on 27th try it. Thanks for offering. I have already tried the LIVE CD of Ubuntu and Kubuntu. (6.06 LTS) And yes, thanks to CANONICAL (and Mark Shuttleworth too!) for shipping free CD's. I recently received 5 Kubuntu CD's. Due to limited Data transfer capacity, I cannot download ISO of AGNULA. If you have the ISO and can burn me a copy of the same, I'll be thankful. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.

by krishnakant Mane 24 Aug '06

hello all, this is Krishnakant Mane from Mumbai. I am a new member on the list. to tell about myself, I am totally blind and im the first visually impaired IT professional and software enginear of India. well, I need to have the screen reader, gnopernicus installed on my ubuntu desktop. actually to be frank I am using windows from M$ because I had no good option for linux and this forces me to use any thing that windows offer. I had a look at the gnopernicus application in HBCSE on the laptop of Dr. Nagarjuna. I am very much impressed and did try to install nopernicus myself. but since most of my colligues are windows users I can't really figure out how I can instruct them to install gnopernicus. can any one give me some guidelines? I don't have a broad band connection and will like to install it manually. again, I am using Ubuntu 6.06 for my ddesktop. thanking all, Krishnakant. I tried to

Hi, I am using IBM NetVista PIV with 128MB/Intel 845 Mbd/8 MB Shared Video Memory and Redhat Linux 9. I always start in CUI and X was working good untill yesterday when I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 and invoked prompt. After that my X is not working for some reason. When I startx, it appears with blank screen and show my monitor (LG 17" 700S) frequency range box and comes right back to prompt. I attempted reconfiguring X with 800x600, thousand colours, selected monitor as probed (700S, 49 dpi, and default mm), video card is autodected as i810 and Video Memory selected 8 MB. It does not work. I also created new XF86config.new on root for no good. I also attempted reinstalling Desktop Package items from Installation CDs, but no help. I read /var/log/messages, but could not understand much. dmesg does not contain any information that I could use. I am attaching herewith /var/log/XFree86.0.log, and XF86Config files herewith for your information. Please help me get it fix asap. Thanks and regards, Navinchandra.

hello all, this is Krishnakant mane again. as I had mentioned in my previous email, we are developing a talking book reader which can be attached to a scanner and can aquire documents and read it. I am particularly writing this email for gnu/ linux users and programmers in Mumbai. I am inviting active contributions from programmers who will like to join me on this project. it is a great opportunity to develop your programming skills and learn a lot about our favorite operating system. and this is a noble project. I am also facing some shortage of programmers on this project in particular so please try to contribute as much as you can. Krishnakant.

technical contrubution needed on a talking book reader using gnu/ linux
by krishnakant Mane 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

hello all, I had introduced myself in my previous email regarding gnopernicus. for those who did not read it. I am a new member from Mumbai. my name is Krishnakant Mane and I am totally blind. I have done research from IIT mumbai and now own a software firm. basically I am posting this email to inform all that I am developing a talking book reader. it is a device which can be carried in the pocket and can be attached to any scanner. once the printed matter is scanned the ocr software will convert it into text document or word document. then the device can be detached and the blind person can read those scanned documents any time any where. we are using all free software including ocr softwares etc. the device will be running gnu with linux kernel booting from a USB pen drive. however I have certain issues regarding the system. I also want to make this a community project so more and more people can benifit. I am not putting all the details in this email, but those who will be interested in contrubuting to this project can email me personally on researchbase(a)gmail.com or krmane(a)gmail.com as an alternative. right now the major problem is to create a small linux kernel that can have only sufficient modules to boot from a pen drive and support sound. please send me private emails if any one would be interested to assist. thanking all Krishnakant.

They have projects in Sourceforge, and the best thing is they will give you one laptop and a desktop (the very best ones) plus a fat paycheck.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Re: [Ilug-cal-discuss] Fedora Core & Intel 855GM
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

NB: I am sending this to both lists since I have mixed up the threads in both of them. The original question was asked in the ilug-cal-discuss. This has happened entirely due to my callousness. I hope you will understand. > Try doing this, stop your X, remove i810 (modprobe -r i810) then load > i915 (modprobe i915), start your X. See if it works. If it doesn't then > it's clearly a hardware issue. If it works, then fiddle with your > /etc/modprobe.conf and make sure it loads i915 at next boot instead of i810. Yes it works. Interestingly my /etc/X11/xorg.conf says: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "i810" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device" EndSection Even after modprobing the i915 driver, if I change the xorg.conf entry from i810 to i915, X refuses to start. This was the problem I had encountered in the past. Is it necessary to change the entry at all? > I am a Debian / Ubuntu guy.

Module Loader present [rishi@Sunflower X11]$ > Also, the > kernel should use the i915 driver for this card, as I do on my old > Toshiba laptop with 855GM and I get very decent 3D support. I think I am using the i810 driver. My guess was it should be i915 as you said, since the system detects my mother-board as Intel 852 and not 855GM. As a result I had earlier tried fiddling with the 2.6.16 vanilla kernel, where I compiled i915 drivers and removed the i810 one. I do not remember the exact details of the various configurations I tried, but my X simply refused to start. Do you have any specific suggestions, or should I just try again and get back with the exact things I did. By the way are you using Ubuntu or Fedora?

RHEL 3 on IBM x346
by Nadeem M. Khan 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hi. I am trying to install RHEL AS 3 on IBM xSeries 346, but it fails to detect my hard disks. It fails to get a driver for Adaptec SCSI controller. Cribs about aic7xxx. Just for kicks I tried installing RHEL ES 4 and it installs without issues. But the client requirement is RHEL AS 3. Since x346 is a common server, I thought someone might be able to shed some light on this. Where do I get the driver? Googled like hell, but no go. I am supposed to be looking for a .img file that fits onto a floppy and then issue the linux dd command, right? Regards, NMK.

fetchmail + gmail: How to prevent downloading archived mail

I use fetchmail to download the messages and Mutt is my mailing agent. Sometimes, when I receive a large number of messages, I check my mail directly on mail.google.com , that is I read the mails and archive them. Now, the next time I use fetchmail to download my mails, the mails which I'd read and archived are also downloaded. Is there any way to prevent this? Regards, Aparna. -- Aparna Appaiah

[OT][CAUTION] Dell Laptop Battery Issue.
by ronbillypop＠yahoo.co.uk 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hello All, This is in public interest so I hope the list admins don't block this. In today's Times of India 17th Aug., there is an writeup on page 27 called "Not just laptops, phones can burn too". Here the author suggests that if they find that their Dell laptop has the suspect battery, then remove it from the laptop and use the laptop on mains power. IMHO feel that powering the laptop without a battery could cause permanent DAMAGE to it. Any device that uses a rechargable battery has a charger that has an output voltage thats higher than the battery level. The battery acts as a load resistance and limits the maximum voltage to its maximum charge level. In the abscence of a battery, the full voltage of the charger gets kicked into the device's ass and that damages the circuit inside. This applies to mobiles and cordlesses too. So if you love your laptop or mobile, please do not power it without a battery. If anyone has any *technical* input regarding this matter then post your replies or else please don't bomb this thread either from land or outer space nor treat it like a chai tapri or an Irani hotel for off tangent discussions. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

Diverted Topic - RMS in Mumbai
by Saswata Banerjee & Associates 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Isnt it amazing how this groups takes all things off on a tangent and makes the thread loose its original purpose ? If anyone were to use the search engine to find out when RMS will be here and where he will meet, he will be totally lost. I have been ignoring the thread completely (just delete it when mails come) without a second look. I just hope no further information on RMS's schedule has been provided somewhere lurking among all the hot-air bags talking of licensing. In fact, it has also gone to why new planets are being added to our solar system !!!! For those who want to know, the last information I managed to get is that RMS will be giving a public lecture on Sunday 27th August 2006 at Patkar Hall, Churchgate. The time has not been given yet. Dr. Nagarjuna, I hope, will give the final time in a separate thread and with a separate subject heading or I atleast, will not know about it. Regards Saswata

That depends on the way you look at it. http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053266.ht… Thats where the "who is RMS" thing was asked.

In the very next message in date-wise order (http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053270.ht…) Dinesh accepts that "the issue is sorted out". Immediately after that we have this: http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053288.ht…. What was the use of such a post out of the blue? Even after the original question had been amicably answered. I have spent close to one hour in reading the entire archives of the last 2 weeks to find out what made Manu think I am a non-sensical person crazy about FOSS politics. Having done that, I have missed my lunch and I am in no mood to participate in this RMS vs. ESR, FSD vs. OSD, "Debarshi is non-sensical" debate any more. I would rather invest my time in writing some usefull code. People who just want to continue the discussion please carry one, but I am not making any replies to questions directed at me. Not even if some-one calls me an imbecile, moron or whatever. Before finishing off I have one last thing to add. How can some so fond of ESR and BSD ask something like this: http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053359.ht… ?? Was this not senseless?

Configuring mtnl broadband ...
by Navin Daund 17 Aug '06

Hi All, WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! Thanks for replying quick to help me configure mtnl broadband, however I am not good at CUI commands. when I run Internet connection wizard, I get crashdump which is attached herewith for your information. It says, An unhandled exception is occured. When I do #netconfig on root prompt, it allows me to set IP, subnet, gateway and nameserver, but after I select OK, it comes back to prompt. When I do #service named restart, it says cannot find localhost. When we do #service network restart, it comes back to prompt. If I go back to #netconfig, I find all values blank as if it is aloowing me to input fresh values again. I am not sure if the installation is complete in all respect, though there was not a single error while gui installation. I am using IBM netvist 6824 P-IV 1.8, 128 MB, onboard intel ethernet and red hat 9.0. please help me with this. Thanks and regards,

Most of the > internet is down for me, so i couldnt verify this As far as I know, BSD allows 'someone' to make a derivative work out of a 'free' work and then prohibit the community from looking at the source, changing, modifying or distributing it further. In fact Microsoft did just that with the TCP/IP stack developed by BSD. Note that the license does not prohibit from making enduser modification, but allows others to prohibit, whereas the GPL prohibits the others from prohibiting.

People of this category often talk about GCC, GNOME, GRUB, BASH, blah blah... without ever realising that GNU does have something to do with it. I have a guy who keeps chasing me to fix some issue with his GRUB, but I bet he has no idea about the GPL or RMS. Talking about the common man, many of them are quite familiar about Linux, but no inkling about GNU. They think Linus Torvalds is this amazing programmer, and I would not be suprised if they said "Hacker to Ankit Fadia hai bhai, yeh Richard Stallman koun hai?" This is sick, because if it was not for the GNU and its GPL then even the Linux kernel would not have here as it is today.

>> Umm...not to belittle BSD community but BSD isn't not exactly known >> widely, is it? Sure, they have great stuff but its not always superior > Marketing. True. Strangely there isn't much to prove this. Why did not Redhat, Cygnus or Canonical choose to go the BSD way? My guess is nobody likes the prospect of having M$ laying its hands on the code. ;-) I have heard Mark Shuttleworth say that he started with the GPL, shifted to BSD because he realised that the GPL was restrictive, then he reverted back to the GPL.

>> PostgresSQL, Apache, Subversion, ZOPE, Python are definitely FOSS. > then why have they rejected the GPL - must be something wrong with them > (according to your theory) I am neither proposing nor propagating any theory. All that I am saying is no matter how much one loves the ideals of the BSD and the Open Source Definition, one has to have read the GPL or the Free Software Definition. Not only because the FSD predates the BSD, but also because you need to know about something in order to criticise it. If someone is fond of ESR, BSD, OSD, Bruce Perens, etc. I have no issues as long as they do not indulge in berating 'others', where 'others' are people from whom ESR and Bruce Perens have derived their ideas.

I don't say that you need to know that the `m' in `rms' is > Matthew, but you should at least have heard about Richard Stallman. True. But it is not so easy. Everyday I come across people who know about Linux, but not about GNU; people who know about Open Source but not about Free Software; people who know about Linus Torvalds and not about RMS. It is a very sorry state of affairs, but thats a reality. This is in no way helped by the constant debates on why one should call it GNU/Linux instead of Linux or the other way around. My observation is that most of these people are simple-minded ignorant characters who need someone to 'drill' the facts into their head. This very person who does not know who RMS is or what GNU is might already know Linus Torvalds. Cheers, Debarshi -- "I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep.

PostgresSQL, Apache, Subversion, ZOPE, Python are definitely FOSS. All that I meant was, someone who uses the word FOSS, meaning Free & Open Source Software, in his signature must have read the GNU GPL. One paragraph at least. If you have not and think RMS has lost his relevance then kindly use OSS instead of FOSS. You are gravely misleading people. Why so? I think so, because as Devdas corectly pointed out, the concept of Free Software predates the concepts of Open Source Software, and all major proponents of Open Source like Bruce Perens, Eric S. Raymond (ESR) have a high regard for Free Software ideals, the GNU GPL, and RMS. (Ref: Revolution OS). > So what > happens to your credibility - you work on python/zope/subversion. I do not know. But then I am not worried since I do not indulge in RMS bashing, although I tend to use his initials at times in contexts which some people do not approve of. :D (BG?) But then they are free to state their opinion. Moreover neither am I claiming to something absurd as not having read anything written by RMS and everything from ESR. I am a GNU developer and I have read the GPL, although I might admit that I do not clearly understand the GFDL. I do not I am making any false claims anywhere.

[OT] An appeal
by Nagarjuna G. 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

(If you are a commmon member of the lists to which this email is sent, you get more than one copy of this mail, sorry.) As many of you know FSF India is organizing GPL V3 Conference at Bangalore, (http://gplv3.gnu.org.in). The response to the conference was overwhelming, and we already recieved registrations beyond the capacity. We thank you all for the enthusiastic response. Due to recent increased security restrictions on both International and national airlines, some of our guests were diverted to other less restrictive airlines which allowed laptops and books. Making these alternative arragements to our guests caused doubling of the expenses, and cancellation expenses. In some cases refunds were also not possible. As a result FSF India does not have these extra funds at this moment. We thought of bringing this to the notice of free software community, and explore the possibility of support. This is an appeal to contribute to FSF India. Since we do not have enough time to make alternative arrangements we seek your active support at this needy hour. Even if the support is small from each of you, if more people give a small sum, we will be able to make sure this will happen. The additional required budget is around Rs. 150,000/- (or around $3000/-). If you also know any one who could sponsor a ticket or part of the ticket do let us know. The conference registration was kept free and we thought we could manage well with our earlier budgets. Conference registration continues to be free, but do consider sending donations. You may also consider becoming taking fellowship (http://www.gnu.org.in/fellowship). http://www.gnu.org.in/donate#account FSF Account information: Free Software Foundation of India. Acc No : 632000002698 Bank : HDFC Bank LTD. Branch : Trivandrum. FSF India have 80G status under Income Tax Act. All donations to FSF India are tax-deductible (by order number: C. No 302/ADIT(E)/24/2005-05 Dated: 25/01/06 ). Please note that, for the time being, we are unable to accept donations from outside India. Thanks Nagarjuna

Actually, the concept of planet was not at all well defined, it wasn't defined at all reasonably until today, when a meeting of astronomers decided to include Xena, Charon and Ceres as planets, pushing the known planets total to 12. Maybe the astrological significance of Free Software is aligned to this, which is why there is such argument and confusion about GNU and Linux. --- Vickram

Hi all, I am representative of NGO and we are looking for open software (LAMP) solution for our needs. 1) First we are creating web base solution to manage our child sponsorship system. More info about child sponsorship, please visit Plan International (http://www.plan-international.org/) or World Vision (http://www.wvi.org/). 2) Secondly we are looking for web base solution to manage our bulleting board, document archives and calendar. If your organisation is ready to help us to get our "dreams" to reality, please send an email to me. We are not a commercial company, but grass-root level organisation that is working for uplifting underprivileged people so we may not be able to pay great amount.

Coreutils version 6.0 has been released.
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Following is a mail announcing the release of GNU Coreutils 6.00 from the info-gnu list (http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu). It seems that this version has fixed a segmentation fault related problem while using 'shred' on Gentoo systems. I though some Gentoo lover would find this useful. Message: 1 Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:27:40 +0200 From: Jim Meyering <jim(a)meyering.net> Subject: coreutils-6.0 released To: info-gnu(a)gnu.org, coreutils-announce(a)gnu.org Cc: translation(a)iro.umontreal.ca, bug-coreutils(a)gnu.org Message-ID: <873bbyggsz.fsf(a)rho.meyering.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Coreutils version 6.0 has been released. If you haven't heard about the GNU coreutils, the FAQ is a good place to start: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/ Coreutils development branched after the stable 5.92 release. Since then, there have been five releases from the stable branch: 5.93 through 5.97. I hope to make no more releases from that branch. Coreutils 6.0 is the first release off the trunk since 5.92, and considering the number and scope of the changes, I've labeled it "unstable". However, many of the changes have been for improved robustness and portability, and even the bug fixes usually address unlikely failure scenarios. That said, the changes are numerous enough and invasive enough that there are probably a few new bugs. There is a new, implicit build requirement: To build the coreutils from source, you should have a C99-conforming compiler, due to the use of declarations after non-declaration statements in remove.c. There is code in configure to find and, if possible, enable an appropriate compiler. However, if configure doesn't find a C99 compiler, it continues nonetheless, and your build will fail. If that happens, simply patch remove.c with the following command, and run make again: cd src && patch remove.c c99-to-c89.diff Here are some highlights from the NEWS below: There are six new programs: base64: base64 encoding and decoding (RFC 3548) functionality by Simon Josefsson sha224sum: print or check a SHA224 (224-bit) checksum sha256sum: print or check a SHA256 (256-bit) checksum sha384sum: print or check a SHA384 (384-bit) checksum sha512sum: print or check a SHA512 (512-bit) checksum by David Madore (based on work by Ulrich Drepper and Scott Miller) shuf: shuffle lines of text by Paul Eggert We've finally added some often-requested functionality for ls, with its new option: --group-directories-first, by Francesco Montorsi. rm has a new -I option, added by Eric Blake: rm now accepts the -I (--interactive=once) option. This new option prompts once if rm is invoked recursively or if more than three files are being deleted, which is less intrusive than -i prompting for every file, but provides almost the same level of protection against mistakes. For the complete summary of changes, see the NEWS section below. Special thanks to Paul Eggert for his many contributions. Thanks to everyone else who contributed changes (attributions are in the ChangeLog files), reported problems, and helped by fielding questions on the mailing list. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The GNU coreutils package contains the following programs: [ base64 basename cat chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false fmt fold ginstall groups head hostid hostname id join kill link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mv nice nl nohup od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx pwd readlink rm rmdir seq sha1sum sha224sum sha256sum sha384sum sha512sum shred shuf sleep sort split stat stty su sum sync tac tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname unexpand uniq unlink uptime users vdir wc who whoami yes Here are the compressed sources: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.0.tar.gz (7.9MB) ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.0.tar.bz2 (5.1MB) Here are the xdelta-style diffs: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.92-6.0.xdelta (1.9MB) <snip> shred --remove FILE no longer segfaults on Gentoo systems sort would fail for large inputs (~50MB) on systems with a buggy mkstemp function. sort and tac now use the replacement mkstemp function, and hence are no longer subject to limitations (of 26 or 32, on the maximum number of files from a given template) on HP-UX 10.20, SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris 2.5.1 and OSF1/Tru64 V4.0F&V5.1. tail -f once again works on a file with the append-only attribute (affects at least Linux ext2, ext3, xfs file systems) NB: I removed part of the original post since I was afraid that it was too long to be blocked by the lists. Neither could I give a link since the post has not yet been archived. Cheerio, Debarshi -- "I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough.

[OT] What is a flame?
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

> He was then flamed to death and... Well does anybody know the origin of the word 'flame war'? I found the following in my /usr/share/games/fortune/humorix-stories: Brief History Of Linux (#5) English Flame War The idea behind Slashdot-style discussions is not new; it dates back to London in 1699. A newspaper that regularly printed Letters To The Editor sparked a heated debate over the question, "When would the 18th Century actually begin, 1700 or 1701?" The controversy quickly became a matter of pride; learned aristocrats argued for the correct date, 1701, while others maintained that it was really 1700. Another sizable third of participants asked, "Who cares?" Ordinarily such a trivial matter would have died down, except that one 1700er, fed up with the snobbest 1701 rhetoric of the educated class, tracked down one letter-writer and hurled a flaming log into his manor house in spite. The resulting fire was quickly doused, but the practice known as the "flame war" had been born. More flames were exchanged between other 1700ers and 1701ers for several days, until the Monarch sent out royal troops to end the flamage. Happy flaming, Debarshi -- "I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?" -Jean Kerr

>> What do you mean? See it is very easy to sit there and pass comments. >> I just fervently pray that you do not get trapped behind such a >> draconian firewall. > umm...dumb question but did you try an http tunnel? Not so dumb as you think. The situation is like this... Even after allowing all SSL_ports and Safe_ports (this was done using Webmin, so I did not see the /etc/squid.conf, we are unable to use IRC on ports 6667, 8000. Irssi says "temporary failure in name resolution", while GAIM says "proxy connection error 503". However Yahoo! and Jabber are working using GAIM AFTER opening the ports in Squid. Jabber on the usual 5222, while Yahoo! on 8001. At this point I have a feeling that the IRC ports are blocked in the firewall too, because I had heard our sysadmin (when the network was set-up) remark that all IRC activity will be blocked. He made no remark about Jabber or Yahoo!. I do use a HTTP tunneller, corkscrew, to do ssh into public servers. Regarding ssh, one needs BOTH corkscrew and the opened ports in Squid to do anything at all. In a scenario where only the Squid acls are relaxed but tunneling not done, ssh also says "Temporary failure in name resolution". At this point I have a feeling that one needs to tunnel GAIM like ssh. But following the instructions in http://www.http-tunnel.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=1227&, I get "proxy connection error 503" for IRC and "Couldn't connect to host" for Jabber (GTalk). Please note that this was done with the Squid acls relaxed, whereby Jabber and Yahoo were connecting without tunneling, but IRC was not.

Is GNU/Linux only for Geeks?
by Roshan 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

The subject line indicates something, that might have been discussed in the past, over several forums/mailing lists/boards etc. But, I intend to initiate this thread after reading an article in Business Today,which concludes Open Office, is ready for acceptance among many and Mozilla Firefox, seems to replace Internet Explorer for a few Windows users. It also speaks about GNU/Linux and below is the excerpt It states "Why has Linux never taken off? Simple; it's terribly easy to set up if you have a BSc or BTech degree ...." Also "there is no _one_ Linux anymore" (You have Windows XP) "...15 major releases (distros) and many of them don't work with each other.." So does this mean it GNU/Linux is only for Geeks? What exactly stops a Windows User to migrate to any GNU/Linux? __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.

So are you indicating that kicking/banning requires NO judgement. I find this funny. > anyone stupid enough, careless enough to get his mail account > infected by such viruses is a menace to the community and deserves to > be booted. You dont blame the birds that get flu - you just cull them So next time you get infected by a fever, malaria, or any infectious disease be prepared to get KILLED, and NOT CURED. > law and democracy have nothing to do with mailing lists. Admin is the > boss - if he boots you are booted. Wonderful. I am impressed. But going by your previous argument "moderation is inherently evil as it sets up one person in judgement over others", don't you think this is self-contradictory? > please distinguish between mere breaches of etiquette - not trimming > posts, top posting, getting OT, being longwinded, using smsspeak - > with behaviour that damages the list. The first requires peer > pressure to rectify, but the second can only be cured with the boot. > And i think anything personal you may have against me could be taken > offlist. Nonsense. You mean to say that ONE spam is going to destroy the list, while HUNDREDs of OTs and other nuisances are mere breaches of etiquette. What if I say that the spam was another OT post missing the appropriate tag? I mean I am simply unable to distinguish.

I am already on the libyahoo mailing list, but I joined 1.5 years back when I was still a n00b. I recently heard from Dr. Nagarjuna that you had authored libyahoo, and had heard about Freehoo and Freetalk independently while browsing the Web many that same 1.5 years back. Could you just give me a pointer as what the issue exactly is? I mean what is the difference between the Windoze and the Free client? I heard that the Windows client keeps scanning the ports and picks one which is available. Is this the 'magic'? Looking forward to the libyahoo project page...

Thanks for the interest. But I had tried this in the past and I tried it just now. Does not work. GMail (on GAIM) simpy said 'port x tunneling not allowed', while Yahoo (on GAIM) gave a 'write error' for port 80. Other messages were the same for GTalk. GAIM would start working out of the box, if the ports are opened. I know this since the ports were opened temporarily and they just worked. Let me tell this list, that in the period when GAIM was working people (including most Windoze users) became a huge fan of GAIM. GAIM was preferred over and above the GTalk and Yahoo! Messenger clients. > I have not tried it, hence can't comment. But this has been tried in our > organization. With what results?

Meebo
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

> Remember the hulla ballo that was created when someone > suggested using meebo? :O That someone was me. If you really want it, then we can have a nice debate on this, and I can clearly explain to you why it was at all needed. Why blame meebo? Because its the new kid on the block, and not as big as Yahoo! MSN, or Google? How do you know that the big names are not giving out your ID to some unwanted place? And yes Kenneth, I think you are going way over board. Who are you to decide to boot the chap? Sure he has made a mistake. But then I don't think that has been repeated by him. Who are you to single handedly force the point that people need to be booted without any warning? I mean I thought this mailing list's code of conduct was drafted by some knowledgeable person in a reasonably democratic way. Ok Hyderabad does it, Chennai does, so what? So what man? You are taking this issue to such an extent as to start another deluge of OT posts. Tell me onething everybody. What happens if your mail account gets infected by viruses of the sort that keep sending mails to all the addresses in our address book. Its theoretically all right to talk about how one should not give around his ID, blah, blah.... But in such a case you are realy the victim and not the transgressor. This one spam is NOTHING compared to the deluge of OT threads, which got the whole list a very bad name. (Read ilug-cal archives.) Dont make this fellow a scapegoat. Regards, Debarshi -- Dinesh A.

hi, no apologies for not tagging this as [commercial][OT] because it is not. NRC-FOSS at AU-KBC, MIT campus, Anna University Chennai is a project funded by the DIT for the pupose of development of FOSS in India. In addition to propagation of FOSS, we are now trying to build a world standard academic and research programme centred round FOSS. Backed by proven expertise of the AU-KBC centre in the fields of mathematics, cryptography, pattern recognition, life-sciences, wireless and bio-informatics, we are building certificate, diploma and postgraduate programmes centred around FOSS on one side and building and releasing FOSS applications in these fields on the other side. We invite interested people to join us. Details of the posts are at: http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/full/12/AN/ No, we dont offer multinational salaries. Yes, we believe in academic freedom, a relaxed atmosphere, 24/7 working labs and offices, no dress code, intellectual stimulation. (And, yes, again, this *is* happening in a Govt of India Project). Our goal is to produce FOSS code and train people to do this - and enjoy doing this. Our motto is 'Foss is Fun'. Join the fun. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon(a)au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

Dont we use third party IM clients? God knows what they are doing with our passwords. It might take some time before a back door is discovered, and thats equally bad. What about the alternate email IDs these people ask for. Yahoo! might not abuse its own ID but might do so with a GMail ID. I am not accusing, but I am just curious.

I did not understand. > Note, (and I hope you read this very very carefully), this is NOT about > giving out your email address. I already have that. This is about > passwords. What if there is a back door in the latest version of GAIM, Kopete, Freetalk, etc..

How many people have you seen who have lost > their Yahoo! account? I've seen thousands. Ah. Interesting. You work in Yahoo! don't you? So thats nothing unusual.

You have said these same things last time this whole discussion cropped up. But where is the alternative? I stop using Meebo. Fine. So how do I IM.

Wonderful my dear friend Kenneth. I though you were a lawyer. So does the law permit you to execute a person if you can not give him a fair trial? For whatever reasons that be. I know this is getting a bit personal, but I strongly disagree with such browbeating attitude. The problem caused by this single piece of unwanted mail is NOTHING compared to the huge amount of OT discussions we have. Such threads are often extended by so called 'experienced' members of the list. So why not kick them out first? Regards, Debarshi -- "I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep.
