RHCE doubts
by Komal 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hello, I have one question about RHCE exam. RHEL comes with Postfix and Sendmail MTA. I am comfortable with Postfix and I would not like to waste my energy with Sendmail. In exam can I choose Postfix over Sendmail or I have to concentrate on both Postfix and Sendmail? Is there any RHCE forum out there? Anybody with RHEL 4.0 NOT RHEL 3.0 books on 033,133 and 253 please contact me off list I want to buy that books. Thank you Regards, Komal

hi, i have following lines in bash. #!/bin/bash mount -t vfat /some/usb_devfs/device /mnt/usb cd /mnt/usb But somehow the 'cd' command behaves very strangely. if after cd /mnt/usb i put 'pwd' it shows '/mnt/usb' but, instead of 'pwd' if i put 'ls' it shows the listing of dir from which the script is executed. very strange. -- Life is complex.

by tramsmai 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hi there, This is Vihang a rookie linuxer... I believe that the real potential of linux system lies in its networking capability but somehow my home machine is not connecting to LAN i am using Red Hat 8.0 and my configuration is celeron 2 GHz, 128 mb ram , and a graphics card. i have installed the graphics card. A brief description about the problem is when i go to network configuration wizard my network card is detected properly which is Realtech (some number). Then in the next step i manually put my Static IP address given by my net connection provider i enter subnet mask and all the detail. After the wizard finishes i try accessing any website and it says website not found. i try pinging the some ip and it says network not reachable. Everythign is working fine on my Windows XP site. The interface eth0 is detected properly during the booting of the system. Not sure from where to start the troubleshooting. I tried searching on the net but no relevent information Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Sify and Router Configuration
by Gautam Sarup 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hi, I know this really isint linux related, but couldnt think of a better place to ask. I have a netgrear wireless router which I want to configure to access sify. These are the steps I have taken: 1) Useing static ip address on router configuration page. 2) I have set the mac address on the router to correspond with the one they have bound to my account. Now the problem is that I still need to use the sify client to send my username and password. The client also automatically sends my MAC address. So depending on the connection I use( wireless or wired) a different MAC address is sent. Also currently its impossible for two computers to use the internet at the same time. What I need to figure out is a way for the Netgear router to send all this information to sify. Any suggestions will be helpful. -gautam ILUG Mumbai: http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/Data/ObjectType/I/ILUG-BOM/viewObjectType Linux security: http://www.securitynotes.blogspot.com : http://www.linuxsecurity.com

India Now Host to Internet Root Server
by jeetendra r poojari 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

Hi All This is to inform you all of the establishment of an Internet root server cluster in India. This is an important step forward not only for the country of India, but the Internet as a whole, as it will improve the accessibility, availability, security and speed of the Internet Domain Name System (including .IN and .INFO) within India and the region. This enhancement to infrastructure is a result of a plan undertaken by the Government of India in 2004. A key step in that plan was the January, 2005 upgrade of the .IN domain to Afilias' technology, a move that coincided with: 1) the liberalization of the domain's policies to open the domain to anyone; and 2) a reduction of the price to a competitive level. The improvements in .IN enabled the domain to grow from 6500 domains to over 125,000 registrations since January 2005. As the registry services provider for the .IN registry, we must congratulate India's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the managers at NIXI in their pursuit of advancing the state of technology in the country and in improving the reliability of the Internet to users around the world. To learn more about the India root server cluster, visit: http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=11617 To learn more about becoming a .IN registrar, visit: http://www.inregistry.in/registrars/become_a_registrar/index_html. Please join us in congratulating the Government of India on such an important achievement. Regards Jeetu

[OT] Motherboard Repair
by Rony Bill 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

Hello All, I have a query related to my repair of a Mercury 810e mobo. It was my first serious attempt to repair a mobo after an earlier successfull case of a P4 mobo with swoolen caps. _System:_ P3 1.13 GHz., Mercury 810e mobo with on board sound and video. _Problem:_ The system would stop suddenly while working and the display would become blank with the monitor going into standby. It could be turned on again only by power off/on. Again the display would disappear after some minutes and the system would require restart again. Many a times the system would never start at all. A pci display card was tried out but after initial bootup, it became off again and never started. _Diagnosis:_ SMPS unit was swapped and found OK. RAM ok. On the mobo, there is a step down circuit that converts 5V input to 1.5V output for the bus gate circuitry. This 1.5V was missing whenever the mobo would not start. On some occasions, luckily the mobo would start and since I had no HDD with me, I used a live linux CD as the OS. Knoppix does not go beyond console so 'Cool Linux', a Russian/English distro was used. It gave a window display for a few minutes but then the system went off again. The 1.5V fires up on power on but after a few seconds to some or more minutes it shuts off. _Solutions Tried:_ The dc-dc converter chip 34063 replaced but no effect. The power caps were resoldered and the system came alive for a few minutes, then off. The vga connector pins were resoldered and the system ran for more than half an hour but went off. However now even cool linux does not go beyond console. When the problems start, the system does not start again till quite some time and a lot of fiddling. The cpu is cool. Any help from anyone experienced in this is most welcome. If someone can explain the concept behind power signals, thats welcome too.

tcp throput v/s udp throput
by Trevor Warren 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Morning Fellas, Was working on some socket progs based on some performance test objectives we had in mind. The objective is to stress the TCPIP stack in the GnuLinux kernel and see the best numbers achiveable over the network. Am in a bit of a quandry here. We always were taught that the overheads of a tcp session were higher than that of UDP considering the ACK's and FIN's sent across for every packet over the n/w, while TCP guaranteed delivery....blah..blah and UDP didn't. Should i expect better throughput(Bytes/s) for TCP or UDP over a *Reliable* LAN and *Unreliable* WAN?. I will let you know what results i have achieved but i would like to know your perspective since thats more important. The tests are on my RHEL 3.0 box with the RH hacked 2.4.x kernel. I will post the connect/send/recv code to those interested. The throughput calculation code is same for both the TCP and UDP programs hence the calculations i am sure about. What do you think about it gurus???. Has anybody tried out SCTP???.

> > Start a company. Lookout for tenders floated by the > government. Quote > a price that's less than what others quote. Correct me if I am wrong please. In this case, Maharastra govt. simply first appointed MS (or one of its "solution providers") to consult on what to do. NOT surprisingly, they did NOT recommend any free, or non MS software, and now MS is providing all the solutions. So, I suspect there was NO open tender process. If there had been an open process, Novell/RH/Suse could have tried. > Hope that no one's getting kickbacks.

I am NOT saying never use taxpayers money to BUY MS or any other company's products... Just transparently evaluate all the options, and chose the best one. If a government department only needs to use computers to be able to use some kind of intranet, some spread sheets, emails and word processing..

R-Connect Tarrfis
by Rony Bill 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hello All, I did some calculation on the r-connect schemes for internet. The Rs. 650 per month has unlimitted time and a data limit of 1 GB. While this looks attractive, it can be expensive for downloading CD isos. @ 14.5 Kbytes per second, 1 GB takes 68965.5 seconds to download. This means 1149.4 minutes. @ the standard daytime rate of 50 ps per minute, this becomes Rs. 574.7. @ 25 ps for usage after 10 pm, 1 GB would cost Rs. 287.3 to download and 2 GB would be Rs. 587/-. The minimum tarrif without CID for a fwp is Rs. 150/- only. Only disadvantage in standard tarrifs is that you don't get an smtp service.

Quake 3 runs only in 640x480 mode
by Sandesh Singh 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi there. I compiled the released Q3 Arena source (thank you, thank you Mr. John Carmack!) a couple of hours ago. However, I soon found out that somehow it ran well only if I fired up X in a resolution of 640x480. It just wouldn't get up to speed if I booted into the default resolution of 1024x768 (even though q3 itself ran in 640x480 mode). Is there a way I can start X in 640x480 mode without changing the global /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? My current routine constitutes changing that file, restarting X, playing Quake, and then changing the file back ... -- Sandy (http://360.yahoo.com/sandesh247) Better hope the life-inspector doesn't come around while you have your life in such a mess.

VSNL not just offers you dialup internet account but also net telephony. I have about 56 hrs of internet left which is equal to about 450Rs. And if I activate net telephony I can use those 450Rs to make calls as well. As I have cable net now I hardly use dialup account so I just wanted to use this account to make calls instead of buying separate cards. Thanks again. Amish.

You could look for something known as Arctic Silver 5. But for overheating, you may want to look at the fan speeds of the processor as well and make sure its running at the correct speed. Try cleaning the fan. Arctic Silver 5, is very well known. I am not sure if you will get it here. But you do get other heat sink pastes.I had bought a small can/bottle of silica gel/heat sink paste compound a long time ago. Dont remember where. Satish

No problems at all with mozilla, FF, Konqueror or lynx (only used lynx for reading something on the modem). Debian sarge. Once u configure the modem and ask it to update the settings, u need to rerun your dhclient unless u have configured the modem to dispense a static ip to your box.With dynamic ip i experienced something similiar. Since i had planned to use static ip anyway, i did not check further, and i cant see the link between the problem and dhcp. Maybe it's the routes. I am clueless about IEeek tho. rgds jtd

MTNL broadband

I had one of my clients install MTNL ADSL broadband 256kbps. It has been up for about 2 months. So far it is working very well and has had almost zero outages. It has worked far far better than i had expected and beats any of the private isps. The bandwidth varies between 220 and 224kbps. With occasional drops to 216kbps. The dns is sloow but not a problem with a local caching dns.The MTNL engineers were very enthusiastic and spent several hours learning how to set up the dlink adsl modem.Apparently dlink / mtnl dont train their people. Any one with any more experiences before we can recommend it to all. rgds jtd

I have MTNL TriBand out of their Khar(W) xchg. As you said it is good when it works but I have experienced a few outages and was not able to get thru to their support. On the positive side, during the aftermath of 26/7, my ADSL service was unaffected though my landline on the same wire pair was OOS for 7 days. If your clients can live with some outages then I guess it is a cost effective solution. If you have the luxury of a Linux server, then use bind, dhcpd on it rather than on the DSL modem. As for support, I got to know the linesman responsible for the neighborhood. Thru his chain of command I am able to get some support. I have found the engineers at Khar are quite knowledgeable about IP networks and were helpful. Regarding the 502T modem, I ran into a couple of weird behaviors: 1. Need MSIE to program port forwarding rules! I cannot not program any port forwarding rule using Firefox (Linux and Windoze) or Konqueror. 2. When the config pages are accessed with Firefox, some of the icons on the various pages do not load; over a period of 10-12 days it's DNS relay would stop working and withing 2-3 days thereafter it would stop working completely. Only a hard reset of the unit would bring back it's functionality. DLink was not able to resolve the issues over the phone. Finally, I took the unit to DLink Tech. support center @ Malad West. The tech. support came back and said nothing was wrong with my unit, that she was able to program a whole bunch of port forwarding rules. When I asked her what browser did she use - the answer was MSIE! I brought it back and using MSIE I found that the config pages play much better with MSIE than Firefox - wierd.

You can change the ip to something else, configure static ips, dhcp, some basic firewalling etc. U can also telnet into the modem.

pkgconfig problems
by Salil Wadhavkar 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Hello, I am trying to install GTK2.6 and while installing one of the dependencies - Pango 1.8.2 - I encountered some problems: I have posted the details in the gtk-list mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2005-August/msg00149.html Now while running the configure script I have noticed something weird. pkg-config is used to find packages already installed. I have installed a utility - fontconfig-2.3.2 - in /usr/local/lib and the .pc file resides in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig I have set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig With this setting, when I issue the command: pkg-config --modverion fontconfig it returns 2.3.2, which is correct Now the problem: When I run the configure script for Pango-1.8.2 it cheks for fontconfig and returns version number 1.0.1 which is not correct. After digging I found an older installation of fontconfig in /usr/lib and the corresponding .pc file in /usr/lib/pkgconfig This older version is 1.0.1 but I want to use the newer 2.3.2 version (in /usr/local/lib). I don't understand why the configure script finds the older version and not the new one even after the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH is properly set. I am also running the configure script with --prefix=/usr/local Digging deeper, I noticed that even xft anf Glib libraries are showing the wrong older version in the configure script. Here is the output: checking for pkg-config... /usr//bin/pkg-config checking for fontconfig >= 1.0.1... yes checking FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS... -I/usr/local/include checking FONTCONFIG_LIBS... -L/usr/local/lib -lfontconfig checking for freetype-config... /usr//bin/freetype-config checking for FT_Get_Next_Char in -lfreetype... yes checking for xft >= 2.0.0... yes checking XFT_CFLAGS... -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include checking XFT_LIBS... -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lXft -lfreetype -lXrender -lfontconfig checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.5.7 gobject-2.0 gmodule-no-export-2.0... yes checking GLIB_CFLAGS... -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include checking GLIB_LIBS... -L/usr/local/lib -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -liconv The FLAGS seem right.

Hello, With reference to my earlier message: I just checked the configure script in detail and I realised my interpretation was wrong. Sorry about that. Nice learning experience though. The configure script checks for fontconfig version 'greater than' 1.0.1, which exists and is proper. Same thing with xft and Glib. All proper. However, I still am not able to install pango. The details of the error are here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2005-August/msg00149.html Can someone help ? Thanks -Salil.

Fresher needs help!!
by gautam borad 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi Linuxers, I have done my B.E in computers and am looking for a job.However my problem is that all the jobs opening out there are for .NET / SAP / ERP / Visual Crap etc etc. I did not find a single opening (for fresher) in systems programming (c/c++ in *nix, device driver etc) My friends say its foolish of me looking for such a job and that i must take whatever job i get . But my concern is if i take any SAP/.NET etc job what are my chances of switching to a systems job (which is what i want to do ultimately) I have done many hobby projects in linux.Right now im studying "Advanced programming in unix environment" by Richards. But i feel all this is gonna get wasted if i dont get a "good" job. Looking out for some good advise from you all. flames > /dev/null :) If any one wants to share their first job experience they are welcome. P.S : Any one knows of such job opening plz plz inform me. --------------------------------------- We would change the world.... but GOD wont give the source!! ---------------------------------------

For a global IT power, the number of OSS projects out of India is disproportionate. One sees very few names from SE Asia in the program/project credits list. Not only have the Indian IT power houses like Infosys, Wipro, HCL, etc. not taken any initiative like IBM, HP, Intel and such sponsoring OSDL (for example in the US), the educational institutions also seem to be caught in the web of the incumbent OS with few offerings on FOSS. The emphasis seems to be on teaching how to use packaged tools rather than fundamentals or concepts. IMO, a good start would be - the IT power houses and the educational institutions to get together and adopt an existing Indianized distro and ensure it continuance with updates/extensions (similar to Red Flag distro in China). The students under guidance could contribute code to defined projects. Their work would also count for credit towards completing their education, the funding could come from the Industry. -- -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside

For this reason It is. And some of it is patented to boot. Staroffice (i dont remember the company name) paid top dollars to get the formats and use as they please. Sun purchased Staroffice and split it into staroffice (closed) and openoffice (gpld afaik). They did that as a strategy for their javadesktop and to hit M$.

Not only are they promoting someone elses company with taxpayers money, the govt. is doing business with a company castigated and convicted by it's own government and courts repeatedly for illegal business practices. There is a whole host of other reasons which will require a book rather than a mail to enumerate.

Making any use of any electronic data is only possible with specialised software. Since the data is public the tools to use it should be public and the formats in which is stored should be unencumbered so that anyone can create tools to make better use of such data. Most of us cant even begin to imagine the possible uses of data 5 yrs later let alone 125 yrs later (think metereology records). Instead of reducing the barriers to data usage (which is the point of computerisation) the govt is raising the stakes. > That > wouldn't be so bad, if it was a one time purchase Why?.

Problem with two NICs
by Sanket Medhi 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hello guys, I am using FC4 x86_64. I have two LAN cards for two internet connections. One of them is the onboard NVIDIA chipset card. The other one is a Davicom Semiconductor 8139 card. The problem I am facing is that, in my Network Connections under Gnome, I see my NVIDIA card as eth0(forcedeth) which seems to be fine, but for the Davicom card I get an eth0 as well as another network device which is also detected as the same LAN card with a device number that changes every time I reboot my system. The eth1 which should be working fine is not and the other device which is detected works fine. Now, the problem is that I have to change the primary internet connection in Firestarter(firewall) every time I reboot my system. I hope you guys understand what I am trying to say and suggest me a solution. -- Regards, Sanket Medhi, sanketmedhi(a)gmail.com +91-9820990917.

Actually, I don't think that use of the formats is totally closed - otherwise how could they be readable in OpenOffice? For this reason only (and please correct me if I'm wrong here) castigating the government for promoting someone's business is not on. However, making full use of the data is only possible with specialised software, which in this case is proprietary. That wouldn't be so bad, if it was a one time purchase (can think of lots of parallels from other industry sectors), but it isn't - one has to go on and on buying expensive upgrades, often getting pointless or irrelevant feature creep without any added value. What can one do about it? Make a noise, what else? Don't sit quiet waiting for some half knowledgeable journalist to educate others, especially those in a position to influence policy change. Maybe this list isn't the right place to take up this activity, but there ought to be others - on an all India basis, not just for Mumbaikars. Does anyone know of one? If not, then how can we pool resources to start such a list? Would it be OT to discuss this here till it reaches a take-off (or aborted) stage? -- Vickram
