MTNL Mumbai and Gmail
by Soumen Dass 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Hi, Some people may recall that I had posted the problem of Gmail not working with thunderbird on this list. It turns out that the problem is neither Gmail nor thunderbird. It's MTNL!! Usually, whenever I used to ping some site, output was something like: ############################################ [/home/soumen] $ ping yahoo.com PING yahoo.com (66.94.234.13) 56(84) bytes of data. From 203.94.230.117 icmp_seq=0 Packet filtered From 203.94.230.117 icmp_seq=1 Packet filtered From 203.94.230.117 icmp_seq=2 Packet filtered From 203.94.230.117 icmp_seq=3 Packet filtered --- yahoo.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, +4 errors, 100% packet loss, time 3039ms , pipe 2 [/home/soumen] $ ############################################ Yesterday to my surprise I could actually ping to various sites without the packets getting filtered (I did'nt capture the screen shot but the "Packet filtered" part was gone & I got some "ttl" & "time" values). On a hunch, I re-configured my Gmail account & it perfectly worked!! Today it's again back to "Packet filtered" & Gmail again is not working :( Is my assumption right that my MTNL dialup is to be blamed? If so, what I can do to get this fixed? I mean is it possible to actually explain this to somebody in MTNL & get results? Their helpline is forever busy & nobody responds to the e-mails (I tried those routes with another problem). -- Soumen Dass [Registered Linux User # 272639 - Linux nova 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl i686] Feeling amorous, she looked under the sheets and cried, "Oh, no, it's Microsoft!"

What I am confused about is : if I have a requirement of 8 different OSes for different types of development work, what good is a single machine to me ? I have 8 people working on 8 different modules. So a single machine ain't gonna suffice. The best solution is to have one high-end Server and maybe other diskless nodes. Otherwise, only one person can utilize the full capacity of 8 OSes running simultaneously. Please correct me where I have gone wrong in grasping your concept !! Thanks Raseel Bhagat

First check if the laptop bios can boot from a usb hard drive. Some can but only from a fat16 partition. I have not come across one which boots directly from a non fat16 usb drive. If yours can boot from a non fat16 partition then u have no problems. Install the regular way. Else create a small (minimum size will have to be 16MB - smaller ones involve too many complications) fat 16 partition (1st primary) and other linux partitions as per your needs. Make the fat16 partition bootable.Boot from cdrom with your distro. Install linux on the linux partitions in /dev/sda?. After completing the installations boot from your distro cd in rescue mode. In case of debian woody "rescbf24 root=/dev/sda5 does the job. Next run syslinux "syslinux /dev/sda". Mount the fat 16 partition "mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt". You should have a file ldlinux.sys in the fat16 partition. Create a syslinux.cfg file with the relevant entries. (read the syslinux man pages).This will give you various boot options. Copy your kernel image to the fat16 partition "cp /vmlinuz /mnt". Reboot. Alternately you may use loadlin from a dos partition, or install lilo or grub on the regular harddrive with an entry to boot from the usb disk. rgds jtd

INDIA: Computer programme patenting may brake IT boom
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

http://infotech.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1023943.cms Computer programme patenting may brake IT boom TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2005 06:17:58 PM] NEW DELHI: Imagine a scenario where a music composer is prevented from being inspired by another musician. He has to start from scratch and give an entirely new definition to music. Unimaginable, isn't it? Now replace 'music' with 'software' and this is what the Indian government is seeking to do. Or so some critics argue. The amendments to the Indian Patent Act introduced by a recent Ordinance will allow all computer programmes to be patented. The Indian Patent Act, as modified in 2002, had made "a mathematical method or a business method or a computer programme per se or algorithms" non-patentable. However, the recent amendment changes this phrase defining what cannot be patented to "a computer programme per se other than its technical application to industry or a combination with hardware, a mathematical or business method or algorithms." Since any commercial software has some industry application and these applications are technical in nature, it opens virtually all software to patenting, say the critics of the move. As a booming software nation, can India afford to take such a step without harming interests of the industry? These were concerns expressed at a press conference organised by the Delhi Science Forum on Tuesday. The US and Japan, they said, are two countries that have provided for patent protection in software, which has adversely impacted smaller developers. European Parliament has been forced to defer software patenting in the wake of widespread opposition to such a move. A patent in the case of software grants monopoly control over not just the 'expression' of a function or idea in computer code, which could be covered by copyright, but over the very idea itself. Thus, software would be covered by both copyright and patents, perhaps the only instance of a product being underpinned by both. Richard Stallman, co-developer of the GNU-Linux operating system and proponent of free software says, "Since software patents cover software ideas, it makes them a dangerous obstacle to all software development." An example is Amazon's singleclick agreement. Amazon.com was granted a patent on a system that remembers customer credit card data from visit to visit, so that customers could, on all visits after their first, simply order products and then click once to buy them using a stored credit card number. After two rounds of litigation, this patent was upheld and Amazon was able to prevent its chief competitor, barnesandnoble.com, from using a similar system. The main argument against software patenting is that it will kill innovations, by leaving small firms or software developers liable for patent infringements. "That's like saying, be the greatest genius in history or don't even try", said Stallman. Small developers will always be fighting with their backs to the wall as they would not have the financial muscle to compete with dominant players in the market. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frederick Noronha (FN) Nr Convent Saligao 403511 GoaIndia Freelance Journalist P: 832-2409490 M: 9822122436 http://fn.swiki.net http://fn-floss.notlong.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where the needs of the world and your talents cross, there lies your vocation. --Aristotle

Date Output Setting in Postgres
by Rajen M. Parekh 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Hi, I am having problem setting the "Date" output settings. I am using Postgres 7.4.3. I have changed the datestyle setting in "postgresql.conf" as, datestyle = 'SQL, DMY' But still when I do a show all, I get DateStyle ISO, DMY Why is it stuck with "ISO", instead of "SQL". The reason I want "SQL" is that I want the date output format as dd/mm/yyyy instead of yyyy/mm/dd when I browse the records. Another problem was that I could not set the datestyle with the SET command. So, I modified the postgresql.conf file. But still the problem is only partially solved as the datestyle still remains "ISO", instead of "SQL". I am using phpPgAdmin as frontend. Thanks, Rajen.

KDM theme for KDE-3.4
by Sameer Niphadkar 17 Feb '05

17 Feb '05

Hi, I just downloaded and installed KDE-3.4b1 on my SUSE 9.0 box. Now there is this really nice KDM theme for v3.4 which I wanted to install as my default theme (from www.kde-look.org ). I downloaded the theme and when I configured the kdmrc file it still did not work...I did the following changes to the file $KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (where Tux-Mania is the new theme) Theme=/opt/kde3.4/share/apps/kdm/themes/Tux-Mania UseTheme=true But still when I rebooted it brought me back to the same plain vanilla login screen. I even managed to look in the kdm log files and found the following errors ******************************************************************* (WW) I810(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xf0000000,0x8000000) Symbol drmCtlUninstHandler from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o is unresolved!

2OS-1Machine-NewThread
by Rony Bill 17 Feb '05

17 Feb '05

Dear Friends, The discussions on the use of 2 OSs in one machine and the question by Saswata about its uses got me thinking and I have visualised a concept. What is being done is simply multi-tasking. Any OS is a set of tasks that the cpu is carrying out and 2 OSs means the resources are shared by two sets of tasks (OSs). This jugglery is carried out by the RAM which loads two seperate OSs in its space and uses the necessary swap space on the HDD for extra resources. The Concept:- Generally in an office setup, a normal Pentium 400 MHz system with 256 MB RAM, 100 MHz bus and a 10 GB HDD is sufficient for doing letter writing, data entry, email, surfing, printing etc. Suppose an office needs to use 8 computers for 8 operators, with different OSes for different software or even same OSes, 8 computer systems will need to be purchased. 8 computer systems will have to be taken for AMCs ( Yeah ! ). Instead of that if all the hardware requirements are bundled up into one system then that would bring down costs. The CPU will be 400 MHz X 8 = 3.2 GHz. The RAM 256 MB X 8 = 2 GB. The BUS speed 100 MHz X 8 = 800 MHZ. The HDD 10 GB X 8 = 80 GB Thats what the latest systems can give you. The motherboard will have to be special type that accomodates atleast 8 PCI slots that will contain low cost multifunction cards that have VGA, PS2 Keyboard and PS2 Mouse outputs and for more elaborate ( $$$ ) ones, a LAN and 56 Kbps modem with it too. This provides capacity to run 8 Monitors, Keyboards and Mice for 8 operators. The BIOS will be more advanced with a facility to create 8 RAM partitions with each partition getting a quota of max 400 MHz of CPU speed and 100 MHz. of BUS speed. This prevents viruses or runaway programs from one OS upsetting the whole system. When installing any OS, it will ask which RAM partition is to be utilised, just as we select HDD partitions. In this way we can get upto 8 different (or even same) OSes running simultaneously in one system. It is an ideal option where a heterogeneous envirinment is necessary. This will not only save initial costs tremendously but it will also save on AMCs ( Ouch! ) as the total number of machines is only one instead of 8. Since the hardware resources are common, a LAN will not be required to make the 8 computers see each other within the same system. If we can have systems with 2 CPUs and dual busses, then upto 16 computers can be created from one system with the 400 MHz combination. Imagine the savings for companies that use 50 or 100 computers or more. Even the space required will reduce. With wireless technologies becoming cheaper, the monitors, mice and keyboards can be wireless to avoid clutter and increase distance from the main system. Regards, Rony.

[OT] Sharing monitors
by Rony Bill 16 Feb '05

Dear Friends, I happenned to see a video pack in a music shop, of a children's 3D movie "Abra Ka Dabra". It comes with spectacles to watch the 3D picture on television. If thats possible, then can we have a computer monitor being shared by two adjacent operators, each wearing polarised glasses to see only their own screen? This would bring down the cost of monitors in large companies by half. Regards, Rony.

>With two kernels running on their own, how do you >handle that? > I think I might be going a "bit" off-topic here. But the philosophy of runnig two kernels , on their own, is the philosophy of RTLinux a RTOS. Its quite simple really : A RT Kernel (the microkernel) runs, the vanilla Linux kernel as an idle process. Thus, only non-rt tasks are marked as "pending" and whenever there are no rt tasks running, Linux is woken up and it can perform the "pending" tasks. This is really only a gist of how thetwo kernels run and this is very specific to the RT context. Raseel. Thanks Raseel Bhagat

Re: Swap Space
by abhilash kumar 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

Hi all Well abt the Swap space I have a system with 512 RAM so does that mean that I need around a GB of swap space???? Well swap space is used to swap out the processes when there is less memory available so If u have enough memory there is no need of a swap space at all. I tested this out with many processes running and found that the swap space utilization was 0 and only my memory was being utilized. So its "recommended" for better performance to have a swap space of twice the amount of RAM iff u have less RAM(< 256 RAM and u r using X and all the heavy stuff). Although u can allocate a swap space of the same amt of RAM or less. In case while using the system u find that the system is running low on memory then u can create a swap file and use it temorarily as the swap space..NO NEED TO CREATE A SWAP PARTITION.

There are enough idiotic assumptions in your blog to make me think that u are a paid shill for msn or some such.

After doing this any file created in the folder will have the group ownership of the desired group so that all the group members can have proper access to the folder once they login with their respective usernames and passwd's.

------------------------------------------------------- First Flash for firefox Download the file http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/flash/english/linux/7.0r25/i… Along with a few other files u will also find flashplayer.xpt libflashplayer.so copy them in ur firefox plugins directory Mine is located at /usr/local/firefox/firefox-installer/plugins Here's a listing of my plugins directory -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 856 Dec 29 16:00 flashplayer.xpt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2096844 Dec 29 16:00 libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 Jan 26 01:15 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18840 Nov 7 13:27 libnullplugin.so A good site for u is http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMozillaConfiguration.html ------------------------------------------------------ As for a common directory Make a directory with the tail bit set drwxrwxrwt /tmp/ Something similiar to a /tmp directory, the funda is everybody can write and read but one user cannot delete the others file. You can autoconnect this directory to ur windoze clients using a >>netlogon script<<. Here they can keep all the common shares. -------------------------------------------------- bye rgds bijuCyborg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

cdwriters: k3b: kernel 2.6.8+
by Erle Pereira 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hi This is just for info. There is a problem with kernel s 2.6.8+ and k3b where it cannot detect most writers properly and hence shows up as a normal drive instead of a writer under k3b. This is a kernel issue as claimed by the k3b team. solution: kernel 2.6.7 or lower (i personally have shifted to 2.4.27 b/c i find 2.6.8 & .10 rather unstable with my snd-card & ide times out too often ) or do not use k3b. so before giving up on ur writer, please try one of the above. It might not be a writer problem. It is still not clear how many writers (or if all) are affected, but it seems to be fairly wide spread. BTW: anybody using kernel 2.6.8+ with k3b ?? which writer / kernel rgds Erle

Err i thought that developers stick to one distro. And any change in --PREFIX was a one time change. So it would not change from one flavour of RH, suse whatever to the next.

United linux had SCO (undrels) as one of the founders, and quitely ceased operations after the fiaSCO of SCO's lawsuit against some GNU/Linux users. The law suit was/is funded by M$. The suit against one of the users was thrown out recently. refer to http://www.groklaw.net to get the gory details of SCO's death by own lawsuit daily. > How linux will capture Windows Market ??? Linux is creating it's own market. The thread fails to see the larger picture. Which is desktop != computers and fragmentation of the os market into desktop, servers (low,mid, high, cluster), embedded, Realtime, gaming etc. with M$ nowhere in the picture in several of these and very badly mauled with failed projects in the embedded and realtime space. The one size fits all is long over. And branding and service headaches will ensure a healthy spread of companies and services. If anything this frag is the best thing to have happened to the computing industry. Watchout for new PCs with Powerpc cpus instead of i386. Infact today there was an announcement from Sony-IBM for playstation 3 using these chips. rgds jtd

Pacenet from Mandrake 10 installation CD
by journo shiv 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Dear all, Have just discovered a neat way to connect to pacenet with Mandrake 10 installed. Just reinstall Mandrake 10 all over again. Only click on Upgrade instead of a full install and the system detects the pacenet internet connection. All one needs to do is then enter details like DNS server details, username@linuxuser etc and begin surfing. only problem the connection is 'always on' now trying to find ways to log off since my account is of a limited nature. shiv kumar __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
