[OT/HW] Installing Linux on the new Celeron based mini ITX boards
by Arun Khan 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Atom cpu boards are hard to find and they are expensive. I am considering buying the newer Celeron (J1800 and J1900 CPUs) based mini ITX boards from Biostar/Gigabyte. Reading the reviews on various e-stores, people have faced issues installing the OS. Please share your Linux experience in case you have installed Linux on these boards.

ubuntu 14.04 on mac book air 6,2?
by Uday P. Khedker 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

I am using Ububtu 14.04 on my mac book because I wanted a smooth transition from my lenovo t61 and I am happy with the transition. However, there are a couple of problems for which I am looking for suggestions. * I am unable to get the display through vga out for connecting to a projector. Has anyone tried it? * It appears that apple has moved the webcam from usb based interface to PCI and so I am unable to use the built-in webcam (an external webcam works fine) in Ubuntu. This is lesser of the problem but would appreciate hearing any suggestions for this too. Thanks and regards, Uday Khedker. -- signature.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Uday Khedker, Professor Department of Computer Science & Engg.

gnowsys : embedded : deployment platform : advice solicited
by Mayuresh Kathe 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

i am initiating work on delivering an embedded variant of gnowsys [1] which i intend to complete by december 2016. for the same, i will be re-writing the entire gnowsys stack such that it is geared towards a proper decentralized control model instead of the existing centralized one [2]. the completed project would be targeted to be run on low cost compute systems like the raspberry pi to afford wider adoption by virtue of them being more economically viable than real servers or even desktops. given all of the above, and the fact that i have very little knowledge about hardware level stuff, i request information about; 1. ways in which r-pi based system be wirelessly networked without human intervention, something like creating mesh networks which can auto-discover other nodes using zeroconf. 2. a feasible approach to deploying such nodes in regions with bad electrical and network infrastructure. also, i need a custom designed linux based distribution with the following characteristics; 1. minimal disk footprint (within 8mb), 2. low memory usage (within 4mb), 3. low electrical power consumption, 4. high security (am quite fascinated by the 'olpc' model). this is targeted to be free software, both, as in speech and beer. collaborators interested in working on the above are most welcome to contact me, either on the list or off it. best regards, ~mayuresh 1. http://www.gnu.org/software/gnowsys/ 2. http://www.gnowledge.org/

Debian : 7.6.0 : x86_84 : installs cleanly but fails to boot
by Mayuresh Kathe 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hello, I have an HP AiO 18 which runs Ubuntu 14.10 successfully. It is my first attempt at Debian 7.6.0 under my x86_64 machine. While the install process went well, the first boot just doesn't happen. The boot-up menu is shown and when I select the first item; Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64, the screen just blanks out. There are no boot messages, nothing. The num-lock indicator lights up and then goes out. After waiting a while, I tried the caps-lock key, it's responsive by way of the indicator going on and off. On hitting ctrl+alt+del the system just reboots without going through the usual system shutdown sequence. Any ideas about how I could resolve this? Thanks, ~Mayuresh

Fwd: World Toilet Day and Free Software
by Vikram Vincent 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vikram Vincent <vincentvikram(a)gmail.com> Greetings on the occasion of World Toilet Day! You might be wondering as to what the relationship between the two is :) http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/world-toilet-day-2014-lack-sanitation-leaves-women… While there is no direct correlation, I would suggest that people who are interested can use this occasion to use OpenStreetMap and map out the location of toilets in your vicinity. Also map out whether there are toilets for women and how hygienic they are. While it is good to go on the streets with brooms and clean the place it is more important to provide a sewage system where none exists and improve the ones which do exist. So please help out with a small part. Thanks -- Vikram Vincent

FOSS Landscape and History in India
by Rushabh Mehta 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Dear all, I am working on an article to map the FOSS landscape in India. I spent some time going through archives of the various groups / Wikipedia pages and websites. What I see is a fragmented group of individual enthusiasts and contributors, either working individually or in companies that support / use FOSS and of course having a lot of flame wars. The Linux Archives India have a tag line "All The Dirty Laundry Unfit to Wash in Public" From what I gather, the PC magazines of the mid-90s were critical in getting FOSS (via Linux) in India and there were a few mailing lists that cropped up in the late 90s (the earliest archives I found are from 98. This list itself was formed in 2001). I guess there were some fights about naming (who owns ILUG v/s Bharat LUG etc) and the mailing lists were mostly about sharing tips regarding installation, drivers and networking troubleshooting. In Chennai CDAC was established in 1998 and they started promoting FOSS in local universities and then branched off into NRCFOSS and launched the Bharat Operating System (BOSS) in 2007 (anyone using it??) that had built in localisation for Indian Languages. These days NRCFOSS is supposed to be working on a “SAAS based delivery stack for cloud computing” but can’t find any evidence of it. (Your tax payer money!!) In Bangalore, the community was driven by the very inspirational Atul Chitnis and Kenneth Gonsalves who got some “movement” going on with the FOSS.IN events (from 2001 to 2004) which I have heard (second hand) that were instrumental in introducing FOSS to a large number of people. I also heard they had an ugly spat. Bangalore is also home to VTiger CRM, a popular Open Source project (or is it Chennai? I heard it was run by the Zoho group, can anyone confirm?) State of Kerala (where A is for Activism) has been on the forefront of FOSS implementation (atleast in the PR) and the state legislature has also moved to get FOSS implemented in government. As per Wikipedia FSF India was established in Kerala in 2001 and the movement is largely led by Satish Babu who is the director of ICFOSS. They seem to be the most progressive in terms of FOSS implementation and there are a lot of News Items on how they have successfully used FOSS in many Gov activities (power to them!). (Interestingly the ICFOSS website has a “Director” menu link instead of “About Us” as if the Director and the organization are the same thing!). Kerala is also the home to the formerly open source Fedena school ERP project, which is un updated in a while and and I think its not open anymore. In Mumbai we have Nagarjuna from Homi Bhabha who runs the Gnowledge Lab from 2007 (still can’t figure how its different from a wiki!) and has also been active in promoting One Laptop Per Child and other FOSS projects in India. Also in Mumbai is the very inspirational Krishnakant Mane who runs the GNU Khata project in IIT Mumbai (funded by ICFOSS?). Did not find any post on the history of GNU Khata but the mailing list is since 2009, so I assume it has been around since 2006-7? Ironically Mumbai is the only city that has some “projects” (in Mumbai, we do, we don’t talk) including our ERPNext (sorry for the plug) which was started in 2006 but the repo is from around 2008. Speaking of Projects, the NRCFOSS website has a number of projects listed, but like spent tax payer money it seems to be hard to find any public repository or mailing list for any of them. Also sometime, I am guessing since Facebook and mobile explosion (2007), the focus has moved from Linux to a more broader (and some might say evil) “Open Source” - note the renaming of popular blogs and events (Linux Asia is now Open Source India, Linuxforu is now Opensourceforu) and focus has now “shifted” to cloud based technologies like “OpenShift” and also there has been some movement in the Android space (Aakash tablet, again anyone seen the repos?). Also the “free thinking” community has also moved to other technologies like Python which have a reasonable community and some traction in the universities (SciPy). I am not covering the commercial space yet. The Open Source India (OSI Days) event is happening this weekend in Bangalore and I am not sure if they even bother to post on these lists. Wipro has pledged to staff its Open Source Unit to 10,000 (yay!). And not to mention the hundreds or may be thousands of Open Source development shops that have sprung up all over India (esp in Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad) servicing Open Source projects on Elance and similar and mostly doing HTML / CSS / PHP based customization. The poor guys who don’t get respect for their taste but still manage serve many small businesses and keep the world moving. In terms of contributors, I see some really brilliant individual contributors to various projects, many of whom have now moved to the west but their names still crop up in mailing list archives. There is a FOSS Community of India page on the wikia site that has a “hall of fame” section which is sadly unmaintained but has a list of many individual contributors (and probably some of them are spammed or self-promoted) I guess this mail itself has become the article - I am sure I have missed a whole bunch of important stuff so please send your comments and thoughts. (specially the old timers!) Thanks! best, Rushabh @rushabh_mehta https://erpnext.com

Re: [ILUG-BOM] FOSS Landscape and History in India
by Uday Khedker 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Hi Rushabh, I guess we are quite keen on engaging with the local community. We have been conducting rather well attended annual workshops (roughly 50 participants) in the hope of fostering engagements with the community at large. However, our experience has been that it is difficult to build a sustainable engagement because it requires a very specific background and the overheads of background building could be high. We have tried to engage the external student community for their B.E. projects but by the time they build the background to be productive, it's almost the time for them to graduate and then the continuity of the project suffers. All this has forced me to restrict the explorations and give up on the ambition of taking the ideas to their logical conclusion in the form of submitting code patches to GCC. The problem is that in the kind of explorations we want to do, even an adhoc code for experimentation comes late in the picture and a sensible publicly shareable (and understandable) code comes much much later. So I have no clue how to engage with people who can work on this only part time with most of their time and energy being taken away by their day job which cannot be compromised because paapee pet kaa sawaal hai :-) In any case, I will be happy to give talks and should be able to pitch it at different levels depending upon the interest and the background of the audience. I would be happy if this could lead to a long term association. If there is a reasonable number of people who wish to explore the option of engaging with us, I will be happy to host the talks at IIT Bombay (and they could well be on a Saturday or a Sunday). My Ph.D. students would be happy to showcase what they are doing although I am afraid there is nothing that would look entertaining unless one is curious about the behind-the-scene activities of how programs are made to work :-) Thanks and regards, Uday Khedker.

Fail-Over & Load-balancing
by Siji Sunny 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello All, We are trying to identify the right approach to do Fail-Over and Load Balancing in Linux server (Centos7), which contains Mariadb(mysql) and web-server (nginx) with some services such as Video On Demand, Games, etc. (streaming through Intranet, not Internet) Please guide, to select the right technology/solution (Ofcource OpenSource) to do so. Its seems complicated for me because of the dynamic data (eg: If a user watching video and fail over happens, he should get seamless streaming without interruption). I have considered HA-Cluster (Heartbeat) for Failover and HA-Proxy for load balancing, but still not sure, how to handle dynamic data fail over. -- Siji Sunny

How to bypass a domain in squid
by Rahul Mahale 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hello, I had set-up an proxy server on my raspberry pi. Raspberry Pi is a wifi hotspot running a dhcp on a subnet 192.168.5.1-255. all my LAN traffic goes through transperent squid proxy. I have one website hosted on Pi with Apache. I used bind9 to bind a local DNS with a website domain now the local website is available through LAN with abc.co.in domain but I want this site to be excluded from access.log or I want it to completely bypass the transparent squid proxy server. I tried following rules in squid3 but no success:- acl abclan dstdomain .abc.co.in http_access allow abclan always_direct allow abclan and this acl abclan dstdomain .abc.co.in cache deny abclan cache allow all but none worked and still access.log shows the abc.co.in entries. any suggestions to achieve this scenario ?

Defining fixed IPs to VM Guests
by Joel A Divekar 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

Hi All I have setup a Centos7 host server with KVM and have created multiple VM running Ubuntu 14.04 using virt-manager. All VMs were having forward mode as "NAT" and using internal DHCP IP address 192.168.122.x series and gave them fixed ips based on their mac address. Now all these VMs are able to access Internet and able to run update on all these guest OS. But no server or devices on LAN / Internet is able to access these VM and I am running web and API servers on VMs. And as they have to be part of the Host servers IP pool, 192.168.1.x/24 network, I changed our virsh network settings from default to routed as <forward mode='route' dev='em1'> and struggling to configure fixed IPs for our VMs i.e Host 192.168.1.11, Web Server 192.168.1.12, API server 192.168.1.13 .... etc. Would like to do exactly as mentioned in this link https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/ht… Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [Network] Need suggestion
by Rahul Mahale 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hello I have some success to my problem but their are few concerns, What I did :- 1.Installed Raspbian on Pi(B+). 2.made it as a wifi hotspot using hostapd and udhcpd. 3.installed the squid3 proxy server(apt-get install squid3). 4.managed the routing through Iptables to go all traffic through proxy. 5.made the proxy transperent. 6.wrote an python script to analyse the squid log (access.log) 7.the log analyzer counts the bytes used by each ip and dumps it in sqlite db. 8.the wifi clients who exceeds the limit are put in to one acl file blockedip. 9.from squid.conf i use the blockedip acl list to restrict the access. 10.after setting the cron job i am able to block clients after particular data usage. My Concerns:- 1.I am not able to bypass the one domain abc.com from proxy which should not appear in access.log 2. How can I increase the size of access.log to maintain the logs for more time as Pi has low storage. Any suggestions ? Regards:- -- Rahul.R.Mahale. http://rahulmahale.wordpress.com/

are you concerned about your privacy on the internet?
by Pirate Praveen 06 Sep '14

06 Sep '14

Those who have nothing to hide or think they don't share anything private on facebook or whatsapp can safely ignore the message. Alternatively you can think you will never share a nude photo anyway so you don't need privacy. You may also think privacy is needed only for celebrities and geeks, then also you can ignore this post. Another reason for ignoring could be to wait till these tools become famous. Do you want to learn how to ensure your privacy on the internet? Do you want to ensure all your friends also follow these practices? Then join us the coming weekend to learn and promote the tools to ensure privacy for everyone. http://www.meetup.com/Diaspora/Mumbai-IN/1205392/

I have 8 GB SD card and if needed I can mount USB drive as well. And is it necessary to compile squid from source rather then installing by apt-get ? Also I searched on squid delay pools but did'nt get any exact method to limit quota ,rest all are to limit bandwidth speed . will try it practically once i receive my Wifi Adapter.

Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian, and I have configured it as a wifi hotspot using Hostapd and dhcp server. Mobile clients connect to the wifi network and browse internet. I need to keep the track of each user, how much internet data it uses, and also need to limit the user to particular data limit (e.g:1 GB). I need to track data plan, as well how much data used or left for particular user. Which tool or configuration will allow me to achieve this scenario?

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [OffTopic][HW] Are A-Data the only SSDs available in Mumbai?

Samsung disks are available. So is Kingston. Check with Prime ABGB in Mumbai (they are prime stockists). Contact details here: 022-23855500 / 022-23896600 / 022-23890341 Should you hit wall, let me know. -------- Original message -------- From: Easwar Hariharan <meindian523(a)gmail.com> Date: 07/07/2014 21:45 (GMT+05:30) To: "GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India" <linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in> Subject: [ILUG-BOM] [OffTopic][HW] Are A-Data the only SSDs available in Mumbai? Hi all, I'm having a new PC built for my parents and I'm trying to get a quote for an assembled PC. The assembler is claiming that the only SSDs available in Mumbai are A-Data in the 120/128 GB category. Being outside India, I'm not able to independently verify this claim, so can anyone clued into the hardware market in Mumbai tell me whether this is true? I was originally looking to get either the PNY XLR8 or the Samsung 840 EVO 120/128 GB SSDs for the build. TIA, Easwar -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
