hello, i am sure ppl have had a look at shashdot there is a post discussing Apple's "cease and desist letter" ( not completly sure what it means ) to sarovar.org for hosting playfair. Playfair is software one can use for playing music purchased from Apple's iTunes service on PC's. Does apple have any legal standing, in such matters in india ? http://kandalaya.org/playfair.txt read this for some background on this isue. rahul -- The primary requisite for any new tax law is for it to exempt enough voters to win the next election.

freedom from dependency hell.
by linuxdev 25 Apr '04

25 Apr '04

Hi guys, I've been an ardent fan of redhat until now. Before you go "here cometh another convert to the debian church", let me tell you its Gentoo magic I'm talking about. There's something quite magically simple with gentoo thats unbeatable by other distros. First, source compiled from scratch. all u need to do is , well, nothing. agreed u need a 24/7 access to net to get it installed but let me tell you its worth the effort. I haven't faced a single compiling prob. or installation either. To give you a taste of whats running on my nifty P4 1.5ghz - 2.6.5 kernel with patches. alsa works without me doing anything. - gnome 2.6 for desktop. (emerge gnome-2.6, thats it!) - xorg-x11, (do i have the bragging rights for this one in the grp ? or is fedora already there ?) - the latest and the greatest of any software u can name of - kde, abiword, oo, xmms, mplayer, gaim, ayttm all the standard fare. Name any software and i'll only tease u by installing it in the next half an hour or so. And best of all ! compiled for my machine only ! with flags of my own spec. Now before we start whining how it isn't possible for everyone to install a source based distro, there's precompiled packages avlbl. from gentoo on a single iso that removes the pain of downloading most of them. the rest which you would want can be downloaded onto a cd, dumped into distfiles and presto it picks em and works its magic. Best of all - if u ain't happy with the options compiled into ur prog. change em and it won't crib ! Mandrake was close to beating them, but they lost it when they couldn't get rid of the dependency hell, and I don't blame them. And their forums are a part of the internet legend now. Post ur query and the guys ans in the next few mins. Gentoo is yet to make a decent hw detection tool tho. and a nice installer wouldn't hurt. If you've used linux for any decent period of time, its time u give this simply flexible distro a whirl on ur spare hdd. To give u an analogy gentoo is like wine - gets better with time. from the trenches, C Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.

installing GAIM (PCQ edition) on redhat 9
by Abhishek Daga 25 Apr '04

25 Apr '04

Hi. I have moved to Redhat 9.0 from PCQ Linux 2004. I prefer the gaim that came witn pcqlinux as it allowed to me to log on to msn seamlessly. I then tried to install the rpm from the PCQ CD gaim-0.71-2.i386.rpm but it gave me the following error message: Failed dependencies: libaspell.so.15 is needed by gaim-0.71-2 libgtkspell.so.0 is needed by gaim-0.71-2 then i downloaded the gaim which supports msn but i got the same error message as above. Any hints? Also downloaded amsn but it asks for the tls1 path to be specified in preference, which i did not it still does not start up (continues to show the popup window to select the system arch and download the tls1 files.) abhi

Clean shut down on a linux machine, via managed ups
by Abhishek Daga 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

Hi all. Thanks for the various posts regarding gaim. I am still downloading and satisfying all dependencies. Should take some more time (hopefully the last rpm i am downloading) Now to another issue: The Setup is Linux (ofcourse). Redhat 9.0 Need to have a smart shutdown procedure in place where in the event of a power failure (ups takes over being the obvious step), but in case of an extended power outage, the system should do a clean shutdown. The UPS will be attached ONLY to the linux machine so 500/700 VA would suffice. What next? What are the options? a) Managed UPS? if yes, which one? cost? b) Ordinary will do? if yes, then what daemon will work? Any and all help is always appreciated... thanks! abhi

sending mail using mutt/sendmail
by Trideepraj Roychoudhury 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

Hi, I was trying to use MUTT for recieving and sending emails from my mail server. I could configure MUTT to recieve my emails(through POP3) but I am unable to do so for sending them(through SMTP). When I send email from MUTT it keeps displaying(infinitely) "Sending Message..." at the status bar. I then have to manually kill 'sendmail' to stop it. After killing sendmail MUTT says "Mail Sent". Also when I send email using MUTT the From: field has the user id of my local account with which I login i.e. <root@>. I want the From: field to my have email address i.e. myself(a)mailserver.com. Assume my mail configurations are: smtp=mail.mailserver.com userid=user123 password=password123 from=myself(a)mailserver.com NOTE:myself != user123 NOTE:I require authentication at mail.mailserver.com using userid and password. How do I configure MUTT/Sendmail for sending emails using my smtp mail server? ===== FSA Labs ( www.fsalabs.com ) Linux Kernel Consultants Phone: +91.22.2754.4226 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hello luggers, Now our company have shifted to linux platform.Previuosly we wee using windows OS and tally for managing the company accounts.Now as we have migtared to linux we need some good web based accounting package which can be installed on our intranet server and all the users should have authenticated access to the web based accounting package(for example an application written in php+mysql+Apache) .Also one more reason to have central web based application is that on windows we have to install the accounting package on all the client workstations,but with this kind of web based application we wont need to install any client software and purchase seperate licence for all those client pc's. I have searched sourceforge.net,googled but with no results.Please point me to some useful links where i can get this kind of software package or if anybody does develope such application's feel free to contact.

SELinux Move.
by Animesh Singh 18 Apr '04

18 Apr '04

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), also known as the codemakers and codebreakers cryptologic division within the Department of Defense, has helped to harden Linux with newly-released Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) kernel modifications. The SELinux improvements mark a major breakthrough for Linux. Because of the NSA's contributions to the kernel, the new security features will now show up in mainstream distributions of Linux. SELinux was released by the NSA under the GNU GPL open source license. SELinux is essentially a Linux Kernel with a number of utilities that provide enhanced security functionality. But the critical component of SELinux is how it implements and handles mandatory access controls. http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/news.cfm PS: Do read the FAQ section. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Increasing the Range of a Wi-Fi LAN 802.11b
by Abhishek Daga 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

Dear Linux (thus making this post eligible for posting here :)) users. Here is an interesting problem. Introduction: Lets just say Person A has an X company's broadband (512kbps) installed and working already. Person B, who lives opposite to person A would like to share that connection and is able to do so already. (by using a 802.11b router/access point, which is used mainly as a switch and an access point only). The problem: Limited by range. 3 Concrete walls seperate the access point to Person B thus B cannot use the net effectively. unless B stands outside A's door or is always in A's face all the time. I (oops, person B) can 1) Get a signal booster which is not easily available or is expensive. 2) An antenna (again expensive) and not tested yet. OR (ideally) would like to utilize my existing peripherals to "bridge" or "repeat" ? 4) Have seen a lot of articles about the pringles antenna or the yagi shotgun but how do i connect it to my built in device? Equipment: I have 2 Wireless routers/access points (airlink and netgear mr814) and built in wireless 802.11g. All are standard devices meant for home users. Limitations: 1)Cost (would like to do it on the cheap as much as possible) thanks! abhi

GooOS

Hi All With all this hype of Gmail and Google, I was wondering what people here think about the Google OS (GooOS) http://www.kottke.org/04/04/google-operating-system Since stuff at Google is proprietory (I think) are there people in the free software world thinking of countering a giant like Google? I feel they seem to have succeeded with replacing stuff from Microsoft with the GNU/Linux OS and Open Office Suite... It's just a matter of time when all the people on the planet wake up to using it. ;-) If this is considered 'off topic', I apologize and promise not to post any more thoughts like this.

Hi Trevor, > > Rajesh, in fact i should admit that i am clueless. At the last GLUG >meeting we decided that at most we should have noth AMD/Intel machines > & <1GHz participate in the GLUG Flashmob. > A snippet from the Flashmob forum discussing slower machines. -------------- No such problems can not be fixed because once the computers are linked together they become one, think of it like driveing a car if one tire magicly falls off your whole cars crashs as a result. The same is true in parallel computing if one node dies they all fail, also as a result you can only process infomation as fast as the slowest node so if someone brought in a 500mhz laptop and pluged it in for example the whole flash mob would only be able to process at 500mhz and not 1300 mhz. Now something like SETI and United Devices were people give there extra cycles to a cause you can have nodes that are only on every now and then and you can have a 486 in there we a 2.6 P4 because the way that data is processed, it doesnt have to be done in real time. -------------- For us, the speed may not matter if we're just trying to get a group together and try something for fun. -Rajesh

Hello I am a new user, and new to this list too, although I was here a couple of years back too. I am running Red Hat 9.0 on my home PC, and the installation (which was a simple straightforward home selection from the install choice menu) has some troubling behaviour - namely the computer hangs from time to time. The hardware is an old Compaq Celeron, with 128 MB. It lacks a reset button, and in fact lacks an off switch. When the machine hangs I have no choice but to pull the plug from the mains. It has an On switch, but pressing this twice will not restart the machine. In fact, once the switch is pressed on, it no longer has any function. When the machine hangs I lose control of both the mouse and the keyboard. This happens at least once a week (the machine is usually on). So far so good - or not so good. When it reboots, it goes through a file system integrity check routine, which always reaches around 99% and then stops, asking me to use Ctrl-D to reboot again, which I do. It then completes the integrity check rapidly and restarts properly. On two occasions (including right now) this has gone awry. Right now, although it allows me to start up under the registered login identities (including root) the GUI has been disturbed, with the standard icons and the wallpaper missing. I logged in as root and found the files missing from the /home/[username] folder were visible, but greyed out. The Find command says the files do not exist. What is worse is that the downloaded mail (no longer on the mail server) is also apparently gone, and the Mozilla identity destroyed. This happened once before, just after I had tediously completed updating the Address Book (transferred from my other laptop). I am seriously dismayed at the thought of having to do it once more, plus of course not being able to retrieve those mails, one or two of which are critical. Can anyone guide me on a) how to prevent it hanging in the first place and b) how to recover the missing identities/files (actually since the identity login and passwords work, apparently the system is partially aware of the users, but their files are now unreachable (even the ones whose filenames I can see greyed out), including the desktop wallpaper selection. If this is a problem already discussed here, please just point me to the thread, or else do mail me directly if you have a way forward. -- Vickram

The Sunday Meet was Great..
by suhas prabhu 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Dear Friends, I attended the Bombay LUG meet for the first time on April 11. It was fantabulous. The work that has been on for Localisation of GNU/Linux is really great. I know its a lot of work and Hats Off to all those who are involved in this work. The discussions were enlightening, especially Dr. Nagarjun's explanation as to why Linux should be called GNU/Linux. He showed us his Mac Powerbook OS which runs on a Free Kernel called Darwin and which was only possible due to GNU tools. So naturally it is GNU/Darwin. Point well taken Sir. All this has helped me to explain to others what is exactly FLOSS. I have spread the word among all my friends about this meet and we all are eagerly awaiting the next meeting. Thanks for everything, Suhas Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner online.

Problem with mplayer playing .mpg file.
by Rajen M. Parekh 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi, In the current month's "Linuxforu" issue there is mpg file (it is a video file of RMS giving speech). This file runs perfectly alright with xine, but with mplayer the audio of the file runs faster then it should normally be. (I am not talking about audio-video alignment.) The audio comes out as if in fast-forward mode. I tried to configure different audio output method, but the same result. I even tried running mplayer on console using frame buffer mode. But still the same result. I tried the latest version of mplayer, which also gives the same problem. The file plays absolutely fine with xine. Has anybody had similar problem ? Rajen.

GPG Symmetric Encryption: Non-interactively
by Anshul Gupta 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi All, Can I do symmetric encryption non-interactively using gpg? gpg -batch -ca doesn't seem to work as the key cannot be provided in some file or command line. Tried writing a expect script, #!/usr/bin/expect -d -f # set timeout -1 set send_slow {1 .1} set send_human {.1 .3 1 .05 2} spawn gpg -q -o message.enc -ca message match_max 100000 expect -exact "Enter passphrase: " send -- "ab\r" expect -exact "\r \rRepeat passphrase: " send -- "ab\r" expect eof This script works sometimes, hangs mostly after first/second passphrase has been sent. Tried "send -s/h" but they also fail. What's wrong? Am I missing something? Also if the expect script can read the input from stdin and write encrypted output to stdout, it would be great. Any help/suggestion is appreciated. I would summarize to the list. Thanks, Anshul

Want to know how Gmail works - google + email ?
by Poornima Marattil 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

hi all, Google's free e-mail service, Gmail, has received a huge amount of interest in the past week thanks mostly to its claim that it will offer 1GB of storage to each user. [...] Once again, there will not be any SANs involved, no Fibre Channel, no Shark or Symmetrix arrays, just commodity IDE drives in commodity X86 servers running Red Hat Linux. Scaling out is straightforward with new server/drive combos being added in to a 10/1200Mbit/s Ethernet network infrastructure.

Any web based inventory management software available

Hello luggers, Now our company have shifted to linux platform.Previuosly we wee using windows OS and tally for managing the company accounts.Now as we have migtared to linux we need some good web based accounting package which can be installed on our intranet server and all the users should have authenticated access to the web based accounting package(for example an application written in php+mysql+Apache) .Also one more reason to have central web based application is that on windows we have to install the accounting package on all the client workstations,but with this kind of web based application we wont need to install any client software and purchase separate license for all those client PC's. I have searched sourceforge.net,googled but with no results.Please point me to some useful links where i can get this kind of software package or if anybody does develop such application's feel free to contact.

May's feature stories introduce Subversion 1.0, take an in-depth look at open role-playing games, and review the state of Linux on the PowerPC processor architecture. In addition, the May issue of Linux Magazine adds two new monthly columns: Law student and MBA Nicholas Well's "On the Docket" focuses on legal issues, such as vendor indemnity and flavors of open source licenses, while MySQL guru Jeremy Zawodny pens "Advanced MySQL". The new columns join Randal Schwartz's clever "Perls of Wisdom", Jerry Peek's instructive "Power Tools", Rod Smith's system administration "Guru Guidance", and more than eight other columns focused on putting Linux to work. A table of contents appears below. Back issues of Linux Magazine are available for free (registration not required) at http://www.linux-mag.com.

Linux and PowerPC are in the fast lane. Linux on Intel is driving the commoditization of computing. But it's not the only game in town, nor is it the only combination of software and hardware with influence. Linux also runs on PowerPC processors -- including IBM's POWER series, Apple's G5, and other embeddable cores -- and runs well. Here's a look at the "other" Linux, the one that runs on PPC. Subversion 101 by William Nagel The new open source version control promises to obsolete CVS. While CVS is the de facto standard for revision control in the world of Open Source, that doesn't mean CVS is popular or perfect. To some developers, CVS is simply a necessary evil. But now there's an alternative to CVS. Read on for a look at the just-released Subversion 1.0. Brave New Worlds by Howard Wen Open-source game developers work hard to play harder. A number of open source projects, including WorldForge and NeL, are redefining the frontiers of massively-multiplayer gaming.

Linux Magazine... and old issues online

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Streicher <mstreicher-nospam-(a)linux-mag.com> Subject: COMMERCIAL: May 2004 issue of Linux Magazine available April 13 Date: 11 Apr 2004 03:40:13 GMT Linux Professionals: The May 2004 issue of Linux Magazine (http://www.linux-mag.com) will be available on newsstands beginning April 13th. May's feature stories introduce Subversion 1.0, take an in-depth look at open role-playing games, and review the state of Linux on the PowerPC processor architecture. In addition, the May issue of Linux Magazine adds two new monthly columns: Law student and MBA Nicholas Well's "On the Docket" focuses on legal issues, such as vendor indemnity and flavors of open source licenses, while MySQL guru Jeremy Zawodny pens "Advanced MySQL". The new columns join Randal Schwartz's clever "Perls of Wisdom", Jerry Peek's instructive "Power Tools", Rod Smith's system administration "Guru Guidance", and more than eight other columns focused on putting Linux to work. A table of contents appears below. Back issues of Linux Magazine are available for free (registration not required) at http://www.linux-mag.com. The magazine is available on newsstands in all major book and news retailers. Martin Streicher Editor-in-Chief, Linux Magazine mstreicher -at- linux-mag dot com Linux Magazine May 2004 Table of Contents Features The "Other" Linux by Dan Burcaw Move over, Intel. Linux and PowerPC are in the fast lane. Linux on Intel is driving the commoditization of computing. But it's not the only game in town, nor is it the only combination of software and hardware with influence. Linux also runs on PowerPC processors -- including IBM's POWER series, Apple's G5, and other embeddable cores -- and runs well. Here's a look at the "other" Linux, the one that runs on PPC. Subversion 101 by William Nagel The new open source version control promises to obsolete CVS. While CVS is the de facto standard for revision control in the world of Open Source, that doesn't mean CVS is popular or perfect. To some developers, CVS is simply a necessary evil. But now there's an alternative to CVS. Read on for a look at the just-released Subversion 1.0. Brave New Worlds by Howard Wen Open-source game developers work hard to play harder. A number of open source projects, including WorldForge and NeL, are redefining the frontiers of massively-multiplayer gaming. Take a peek at the games, the gearheads, and the gizmos that make play work. Columns Do It Yourself: MythTV: The Open Source PVR by Jeremy Zawodny On the Docket: Indemnification and SCO's Demands by Nicholas Wells The Hard Way: How Not to Build a Linux PDA by Jason Perlow Power Tools: Great Command-line Combinations by Jerry Peek Guru Guidance: A First Look at the New CIFS Driver by Roderick W.

Re: Problem with mplayer playing .mpg file.
by Trideepraj Roychoudhury 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

In the current month's "Linuxforu" issue there is mpg file (it is a video file of RMS giving speech). This file runs perfectly alright with xine, but with mplayer the audio of the file runs faster then it should normally be. (I am not talking about audio-video alignment.) Has anybody had similar problem ? >>I faced the same problem with mplayer...i even >>tried to view the file with windows media player >>9.x but same problem.

11 Apr '04

Hi, I too would like to attend this meeting, but I had a couple of questions. 1. Generally how long do these meetings last ? Is 2 hours enough to allocate for this meeting or is it expected to take more time ? Is it possible for me to leave in the middle in case I need to leave ? >Abhishek Daga said: > > you can also probably add a wireless Access point(router/switch) to the > > LAN so people with wireless access cards can get on easily.. >[snip] > > Thats great. I will get my Access Point and all of us who have the >laptops can connect to them using our WLAN cards. 2. Are we attempting to do the Lan Party (flashmob) in this meeting ? If so then I can get my (Win XP) laptop along too. I have a wired "wan router/4 port switch" which I can bring along if necessary. Regards, Rajesh

[ILUG-BOM] Lets have our Lan party and build our own Flash Mob (SuperComputer)
by Trevor Warren 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

Fellas....lets also set a date for our Flash Mob LAN party with Gnu/Linux: Just what is Flash Mob Computing and FlashMob I? A Flash Mob supercomputer is hundreds or even thousands of computers connected together via a LAN working together as a single supercomputer. A Flash Mob computer, unlike an ordinary cluster, is temporary and organized on-the-fly for the purpose of working on a single problem. Flash Mob I is the first of its kind. By bringing hundreds of people like you together in one room, we will have enough computing power to become one of the fastest supercomputers on the planet. Who should participate? Anyone with a 1.3 GHZ Pentium III Celeron/AMD equivalent or better with at least 256MB of RAM. FlashMob I is a radical new idea in the world of supercomputers. Kids, students, adults, professionals, academics, web folk, IT departments, computer clubs, LAN Party types. Anyone with a computer that meets the spec is welcome. What Can I to Do? Bring one or more computers to Koret Gym. Your computer must be at least 1.3 GHZ Pentium III/AMD equivalent or better with at least 256MB of RAM, a 100 Base-T network connection and a CD-ROM. We will provide you with a CD-ROM that you'll boot from. The CD-ROM contains everything you need including an operating system, networking and configuration software and the benchmarking software. It does not matter what your computer's current OS is. Because the software boots from the CD-ROM and runs entirely from memory, your hard drive will never be touched so it doesn't matter what your OS is or what software you have installed. Register and we will send you reminders as the date grows closer. We'll be publishing the .ISO so you can build your own FlashMob! When you arrive, you'll be assigned a Hub Captain who will help you get your computers up and working as part of FlashMob I. You'll be running Linpack -- the benchmarking software used to rank the Top 500 Fastest Supercomputers. So tell your friends, grab computers from home, from work, from school, wherever. Make science, make history, make a supercomputer!
