... "If Linux runs on every architecture, why should another operating system be in its way? " ... Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows (see Screenshots). http://www.colinux.org/ -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Linux Command Docs

Dear Friends, I remember that there was a discussion some months back -- something about wanting docs for RHCE. Well I have a four PDF Docs on The Essential Command Line a.k.a The Linux Commands Primer by Mr N Deepak ( www.ndeepak.info). It is released under the GNU Free Documentation License. The original docs were in a zipped text format. I copied them to The OpenOffice.org Writer and exported them to PDFs. I am attaching them as the folowing four files- 1) 1-intro.pdf 2) 2-imp_cmds.pdf 3) 3-advanced 4) 4-vi-emacs.pdf I am sure this will also be useful to all those who want to seriously master the command line & for RHCE preparations. Please scan the files before downloading.I have scanned them before sending. I do not know whether attachments are allowed in this mailing list here or not. But if I have blundered here then apologies in advance to the list moderator. Hope everyone finds this useful. Regards, Suhas Win an evening with the Indian cricket captain: Yahoo! India Promos.

[ this is from my program ] void write_file(char *src, char *dest){ char buff[4096]; uint16_t n,fd,ft; fd = open(src,O_RDONLY); ft = open(dest,O_CREAT | O_WRONLY,RW_EVERYONE); while(n = read(fd,buff,sizeof(buff)) > 0){ printf("\n n = %u",n); if(write(ft,buff,n) != n){ printf("\n write error"); getchar(); } getchar(); } } -------------- RW_EVERYONE is #defined getchar() has been used to step through. n is still 1. i am very frustrated ( n = 1 ); can u figure out this problem... can anybody please help me out with this. also please tell me why does this happen. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

READ ... problem
by Linux User 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

my program downloads a 20mb file and then copies it to a file in some other folder. Now when i copy...i.e when i try to read from this downloaded file n = read(fd,buff,sizeof(buff)); n is always 1 even though the buffer size is different. i want my copy to be fast and not 1 byte at a time. WHY IS N = 1 ? whats going wrong ??? thankx __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html

Reminder for you... (cool script)
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Can anyone help me to adapt this script to: (i) give me a reminder not just for the current day, but all upcoming days for the entire month. Maybe the next 15 or 30 days, to allow me to plan ahead. (ii) Pipe this reminder to email to myself. Thanks! FN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- TWO INTERESTING tiny scripts below, from *Wicked Cool Shell Scripts* (Dave Taylor, No Starch Press, 2004, San Francisco). Both combine to implement a simple calendar program that help you keep track of the events. Extremely useful in the real world of work... The first script, *addagenda*, enables you to specify either recurring or one-time events. All dates are validated and saved, along with one-line event description, in an *.agenda* file in your home directory. For its part, the second script, *agenda*, checks all known events, showing which are scheduled for the current date. Useful for remembering birthdays, events, appointments, schedules. HOW IT WORKS: Weekly, annual and one-time events are accepted. As entries are added to the agenda file, their specified dates are 'normalized' and compressed so that 3 April becomes 3Apr, and Thursday becomes Thu. The *agenda* script checks for events by taking the current date and transforming it into three possible date string formats. It then simply compares each of these date strings to each line in the *.agenda* data file. This script, writes Dave Taylor, just "scratches the surface of this complex and interesting topic". It would be nice to have a look a few days ahead. This script could be used on a *nix box to send out systemwide reminders. Imagine newspaper reporters getting a reminder of what's on the schedule on that day. Simply have the *agenda* script on each user's machine point to a shared read-only .*agenda* file, and then add a call to the agenda script in each user's *.login* or similar file.

Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux
by Trevor Warren 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux by Henry Kingman (Mar. 23, 2004) O'Reilly's "Pocket Guide" series of books are among the most-used books on my book shelf. These slim volumes are a refreshing departure from the "bigger is better" norm among computer book publishers, most of whom use large fonts, out-of-date excerpts from the Linux Documentation Project How-Tos, and of course a CD or two in the back to amass reference tomes more impressive in bulk than in content or organization. As an editor myself, I understand the value of organizing and condensing information. Mark Twain certainly said it well when he ended a long letter with an apology about not having had the time to write at shorter length. http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT7471953382.html -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Hello Luggers, My query is withe respect to JAVA Native Interfcae (JNI) on Linux A JNI call is an inproc or outproc call? My thought: Its an inproc call. Any java application has at least one instance of JVM (a process). All the java byte code would be executed using functions in libjvm.so and other helper shared libs. A System.loadLibrary() call will invoke some func in libjvm.so (or other helper) and do the task of making the said library available to the current JVM (I.e. the .so will be loaded in JVM process 's address space) Thus a native method call would be an inprocess call. Is my thinking correct?Indiatimes Email now powered by APIC Advantage. Help! HelpClick on the image to chat with me

IP / QoS Question

However, I was unable to google any info on how to do this in Linux using ioctl / socket API calls (???) at the application level. I am new to all this, so I am quite sure I am not looking in the right places :-( Thanks for any pointer. Regards Shahed.

Just compare the output with this for sanchar.com, if u have got the ip address 210.210.109.1 , means ur dns querys are right, their has to be some other problem. what error does the browser return?? does it return errors mentioning the local proxy server (squid proxy i assume)?? check for the sites on a client machine rather then on the server. and one thing are all these sites hosted with satyam?? if thats the case check with satyam people as well. thats the only thing i have found common in these sites. but all of them are accessible from our places check with ur local ISP as well if they have blocked some of satyams IPs etc. Regards Yayati. # dig www.samachar.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> www.samachar.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 28270 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.samachar.com.

If you are wondering where this all comes from and why is it free, and where it is going: here is the answer! This software is about Resistance ina babylon world which tries to control and limit the way we communicate and we share informations and knowledge. This software is for all those who cannot afford to have the latest expensive hardware to speak out their words of consciousness and good will. This software has a full range of application for the production and not only the fruition of information, it's a full multimedia studio and has nothing to envy to other proprietary systems, because freedom and share of knowledge are solid principles for evolution and that's where this software comes from. This software is free, Jah Rastafari Livity bless your freedom! You should share this software for the good of yourself and your people, respect others and let them express, be free and let others be free.

And Much blessings in Jah luv to all those who still resist. Selah. :: DOCKING RUNS FAST FROM HARDDISK To run dyne:bolic from your harddisk you just need about 600MBytes of free space on one of your partitions, then you put the CD inside while running your usual installed operating system (even winblows) and then you copy the /dyne directory inside your partition (at the root of your harddisk, like in C:\). That's it! now every time you boot from CD it will find the locally stored system and will use that, ejecting the CD as it is not needed anymore - so you'll also have a CD reader that you can use! :: ADVANCED SOUND COMPOSITION AND SYNTHESIS - DYNE:TRAX Dyne:bolic it's the FIRST GNU/Linux distribution including the state of the art in terms of GNU/Linux based free software for musicians: using the professional device support offered by the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture drivers, it includes the low latency daemon JACK-IT to connect together input and outputs of various sound applications, in fact offering a multiple audio rack composed of the great variety of free software available. Take care: that's where free software will beat proprietary systems! Interoperabilty between the many and different applications available in the GNU/Linux world, which instead of competing against each other they cooperate and work perfectly together to give you the widest range of possibilities ever. Spotlights on included multimedia software in this release: - PD in its latest version, complete with jack support and externals (iemlib, zexy and the video openGL GEM) thanks to the support given by the PD-stammtish crews in Graz: big up to IOhannes Zmoelnig, Tomas Musil and Michael Pinter for their help! see http://http://pd.iem.at - SpiralSynthModular is an object orientated music studio with an emphasis on live use. You can use it in a fairly straight forward way to make tracks with, or get very experimental. Audio or control data can be freely passed between the plugins.

GNU Libidn 0.4.2 alpha released (fwd)
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) working group, used for internationalized domain names. The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode 3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibitation of characters, and bidirectional character handling. Profiles for Nameprep, iSCSI, SASL and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported. A mechanism to define Top-Level Domain (TLD) specific validation tables, and to compare strings against those tables, is included. Default tables for some TLDs are also included. Here are the compressed sources: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz (1.6) http://josefsson.org/libidn/releases/libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz (1.6MB) Here are GPG detached signatures: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz.sig http://josefsson.org/libidn/releases/libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz.sig Here are the build reports for various platforms: http://josefsson.org/autobuild/libidn.html Here are the MD5 and SHA1 signatures: 194d3d8e68501d3363f3842d83b96f1f libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz 6bd33d45963945b760fa56e007598bb196a3d893 libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz Noteworthy changes since version 0.4.0 (the last version announced here): * Version 0.4.2 (released 2004-03-20) ** A Punycode implementation in Java was added, by Oliver Hitz. Eventually hopefully a StringPrep, Nameprep and IDNA implementation will be added as well. Currently you need to specify --enable-java to enable the Java interface. The Java sources (below java/) are compiled into byte-code (not native code) into a JAR library. ** More translations. Added Danish (by Morten Bo Johansen), French (by Michel Robitaille), Polish (by Jakub Bogusz), and Serbian (by Aleksandar Jelenak). ** Norwegian TLD table added, by Thomas Jacob. ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version. * Version 0.4.1 (released 2004-03-08) ** The user messages from the command line utility are now translated. Currently English and Swedish is supported. ** Logic of stringprep_locale_charset modified. Future versions will use, in order, $CHARSET iff defined, nl_langinfo (CODESET) iff working, or fall back to returning "ASCII". Earlier it attempted to guess the system locale, in contrast with the current application's locale, via some setlocale save/set/reset magic. This change may require you to invoke setlocale() in your application, which is (should be) required for non-ASCII to work anyway. Based on discussion with Ulrich Drepper. ** The command-line utility now invoke setlocale (LC_ALL, "") at startup. ** Fixed SASLprep tables to prohibit non-ASCII space in output. Non-ASCII space has always been mapped to ASCII space, so it is not clear this really have any effect, but the specification require it. ** Building Libidn as part of GLIBC has been updated. Refer to libc/README for more information. Incidentally, GLIBC in CVS now include a copy of Libidn. ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version. IDNA_DLOPEN_ERROR: ADD. Only used internally by Libidn in libc. _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu(a)gnu.org> http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu

Just type this on the gateway console # tcpdump you must be using a dual homed machine as your gateway not quite a efficient method BUT generally helps in finding which PC has a network virus or a trojan.... you'll see the affected machine ip just filling up your screen. If its a windows machine, just download sygate personal firewall available on download.com, its a freeware on the affected machine, check the applications that are accessing network resources using SPF, you'll definitely find the trojan.... If its a GNU/Linux machine then # ps -el should list all the running daemons......single out the unknown one use # pkill daemonName this is a patch fix but immediate solution that I use, the experts in the LUG would definitely give you a long term effective and mature solution. best of Luck ! bijucyborg www.getopensource.com Do you Yahoo!?

Problems with the 2.6 kernel?
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 18 Mar '04

18 Mar '04

Hi, I have been having a few problems with the 2.6.4 kernel. => INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast : disabled for 5 minutes At this moment I had just logged off from console 3, but it was just hung there... the login prompt didn't come on. References to this error on the net date back to 2002, no new ones. And all of them speak of program bug. But no recent references, so I'm stuck with it right now. => atkbd.c: Keyboard on isa0060/serio0 reports too many keys pressed Happens sometimes when I press C-x C-s to save my files in emacs. Doesn't happen all the time though. Also, its not the hard error that has been referred to on quite a few forums. Its an informative error that just goes away after screwing up the console for you. Especially irritating when working on a curses based interface. => The system slows down and goes for a stroll like as if it were windows. Happens generally when I have around 4-5 instances of Mozilla Firebird open along with applications like gxine and/or Evolution or dpkg running in the backround (in short, some of the heavy stuff). Earlier version of the kernel I had (2.6.0) would handle almost 3-4 times the load much more efficiently. I'm running a 500MHz Celeron with 192 MB RAM and 10 GB HDD (4.5GB for Linux and 128MB swap) I just wanna know if its something to do with my compile options or my hardware (keyboard all messed up?) or its just the bugs in the kernel.

Speeding up Linux adoption
by Venkatesh (Venky) Hariharan 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Dear all, I am writing a note on detailing Free/Open source projects that can speed up the adoption of Linux and would like to hear from the list members on this subject. I would like to create a sharply defined list of say, ten specific problems which students from engineering colleges can be asked to solve. Ideally, these problems should be solvable by a group of people within 3-6 months so that these students can achieve a tangible goal. Some of the suggestions I have received so far have been interesting. These include: * Developing an open source tool like VM Ware that can run both Windows and Linux off the same CPU * Developing an open source VoIP product like Skype * Getting Internet Explorer working (natively?) on Linux (This will be of particular help in increasing the penetration of Linux in banks since many banking applications, though browser based, are optimized to work on Linux) * Reverse engineering Tally file formats and developing an open source financial accounting package (or getting Tally to work--natively--under Linux) * Developing translation mechanisms for converting Internet content from English to Indian languages and from one Indian language to another * Developing tools like Ximian Connector to connect to Micosoft Exchange server etc. If anyone can add to this list, I shall be grateful. Regards, Venky
