Please furnish more info about the vid card you use, if its integrated into the the motherboard and such info. Was the original Knoppix you had downloaded working fine on your hardware? Right now, you might want to boot Knoppix to console and try probing your hardware, if you are sure that support for your AGP is included in teh version of X that is included in teh Knoppix version. -- cheers

AT THE LINUX COUNTER: Linux Counter has a total of 138722 people registered. 1407 users have been registered by friends. There are 124367 machines registered. This network guesstimates that between 0.2% and 5% of all Linux users have registered with the Linux Counter. So the total number of Linux users is probably between 2,774,440 and 69,361,000 people. Among the country-wide ratings, India is ranked only 137th overall, when judged by GNU/Linux uers per million population. But in terms of overall number of GNU/Linux users registered, India with 2843 registered users is only behind the US (28514 registered users), Germany (11307), Brazil (9785), France (6479), Spain (5558), Great Britain (5307), Canada (4600), Italy (4517), the Netherlands (3595), Sweden (3300), Finland (3137 users). India is ahead of Russia, Mexico and China. Probably improved connectivity to the Net here would make more people aware of the Linux Counter, and give users a better chance to register. Linux Counter recently completed 10 years of its existance. This compiler (FN) is proud to be associated with this initiative, as a volunteer covering Goa-India.

Says he: "Install version is what a normal user would need. Live version is ready-to-run TeX system for 12 operating systems in a DVD without installing unto your harddisk and demo is a scaled down live version for Linux, Win32 and Mac OSX alone." All the bzipped ISO images are at: http://sarovar.org/projects/texlive PDF and JPG files of all the CD/DVD labels and covers are also available at the same site. You might find details about TeXLive at: http://texlive.sarovar.org "Be warned that bzipped images of install and demo CD's are roughly 270 MB and 571 MB respectively. Compressed DVD image is 516 MB. The page might show you the filesize as single digit bytes, that's because it is a symlink from the mirror folder. TeXLive is an ongoing project at TUG, so we would sync the newest stable releases always," says he. TUGIndia is making available the TeXLive 2003 collection (3 CD set released by TUG), beautifully packaged in a nicely printed CD cover. It looks like a collectors item. They have fixed the price at Rs. 1,000 per set including forwarding and shipping costs. Says CVR: "We would dispatch CDs to the individual/institutions who have already paid the cost (of Rs. 500 which was the cost of previous release of TeXLive) and waiting for TeXLive's release without any burden of extra cost. This is in recognition of their patience and interest in TeXLive." People who are fortunate to have a fat bandwidth can grab the images from sarovar.org. They are free to make copies and distribute, but respect the licences of the packages. Says CVR: "Recently, Springer-Verlag copied TeXLive 7 CD and distributed along with one of their LaTeX books with explicit instruction on the CD that 'contents of the CD should not be copied or distributed' which is a clear violation of the licences of thousands of packages in the CD. By doing such a thing, one invites the wrath of TUG, FSF and obviously runs the risk of litigation." Compilation of the TeXLive CD is the result of the hard work of hundreds of developers' for several months apart from the terrific work of several thousand contributors who wrote all the software solely for the benefit of the user community. By purchasing the TeXLive, the cost of which is only that of the media and shipping, you promote a great movement that stands for software freedom, adds the Indian TeX Users Group. INDIANISATION AHOY: That untiring campaigner on Indianisation issues, G Karunkar <karunakar(a)indlinux.org> -- incidentally, we're awaiting this guy at the 'Paradise LUG' chapter in Goa later this month -- informs us that IndLinux Milan CD 0.7-2 alpha has been released. Some time back the final release notes were yet to be up. But, says he, you can track the release notes at http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php?IndLinuxMilanReleaseNotes Download the ISO from (total size 531MB). http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11495 Features: * Based on Morphix 0.4-1 * Gnome 2.4 desktop, OpenOffice 1.1rc3 , evolution 1.4 * Extra apps added: Yudit, gtranslator, pfaedit, kbabel, gettext, balsa * Boot options for all major Indian languages added.

There are two ways to it you could use font based method, where you select the font and type, so font tags are used for it, and that particular font has to be installed on client side. Dynamic fonts can be used, but they won't work on GNU/Linux. Another way is to make webpages in unicode. On GNU/Linux you can use Redhat 9/MDK 9/ Morphix, all of which have Gnome 2.0. Here you will have to do all html coding urself. Mozilla composer can also be used, but its not yet supporting rendering (the stable releases). Check out http://www.geocities.com/alkuma/seehindi.html, that should help you get started. On using yudit read http://www.indlinux.org/doc/yuditguide.html Karunakaran says that they are customising Morphix to make it indian-language enabled, with commonly needed apps. Quite some people have show interest in that. Says he: "You can chekout what we are doing at http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php?IndLinuxDemoCd Also check with http://smc.sarovar.org (the Malayalam localisation group). They made a malayalam knoppix CD and it was probably used in some projects."

[ILUG-BOM]FYI: List Guidelines
by Philip S Tellis 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

Welcome to the GNU/Linux User Group of Bombay (ilug-bom)! READ THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THEM CLOSELY Now that you are a member you can read and post mails to the group. The messages have to be related to propogating, using, trouble-shooting, bug-fixing, of GNU/Linux operating system. Feature comparision of other operating systems and distributions is allowed, but restrain from BASHING. GNU/Linux is possibly the most friendly operating system, and hence as users of the OS let us all maintain a FRIENDLY tone to our conversations on the list. YOU are the best judge to determine the relevance or irrelevance of your post to GNU/Linux, and therefore you are responsible for your postings. Since this is not a moderated list, please read the guidelines before posting mails to the list. The sole functioning of this list is based on the self disciplinary nature of its users. ILUG-Bom Mailing List participation Guidelines 1. Keep paragraphs and messages short and to the point. See that what you are writing is useful to the mailing list. If not, send it as a private message to the person. (Note that by default the mails go to the LIST) Please change the sender address appropriately before sending a personal mail. 2. When quoting another person, edit out whatever isn't directly applicable to your reply. Don't let your mailing software automatically quote the entire body of messages you are replying to when it's not necessary. Take the time to edit any quotations down to the minimum necessary to provide context for your reply. Nobody likes reading a long message in quotes for the third or fourth time, only to be followed by a one line response: "Yeah, me too". Messages larger than 7k will not be posted immediately. Such messages will need the list admin's approval. 3. Focus on one subject per message and always include a pertinent subject title for the message, that way the user can locate the message quickly. Also please include a suitable header in case of Commercial / Offtopic mails. Do NOT use subject headers like "HELP", "One question". Most experienced users will simply ignore these mails. 4. Capitalise words only to highlight an important point or to distinguish a title or heading. Capitalizing whole words that are not titles is generally termed as SHOUTING! *Asterisks* surrounding a word can be used to make a stronger point. Use the underscore symbol before and after the title of a book, i.e. _Linux Configuration And Installation_ Underscores may also be used to signify _underlining_, while surrounding your text with slashes makes it /italics/. 5. Limit line length to approximately 65-70 characters and avoid control characters. This helps ensure that lines don't grow too long after several levels of replies. Remember that each reply adds one level of > to the start of the line. 6. NEVER send chain letters to the mailing list. A mail simultaneously sent to more than 10 users will not reach the list. This is to eliminate possible spammers/bulk mailers to reach the list. 7. Be careful when using sarcasm and humour. Without face to face communications your joke may be viewed as criticism. When being humourous, use emoticons (smileys) to express humour. (tilt your head to the left to see the emoticon smile) :-) = happy face for humour. 8. If a mail has offended you personally, please send a private message to the person expressing how you feel, instead of sending it to the mailing list. 9. Please remember that we have both male and female members. No gender abuse is allowed on the list, and do not include any gender specific slang in your posts. 10. Acronyms can be used to abbreviate when possible, however messages that are filled with acronyms can be confusing and annoying to the reader. Examples: IMHO = in my humble/honest opinion FYI = for your information BTW = by the way Flame = antagonistic criticism. http://www.jargon.org for more such acronymns. 11. Please provide URL's to articles wherever possible. Avoid cutting and pasting whole articles especially considering the fact that all may not be interested. In any case your posting may not be more than 7k. Occassionally if you may have to send such a mail, post it, it will reach the members after the list admin approves it. 12. When using the mailing list for commercial purpose, please prefix the subject line with "COMMERCIAL". 13. Please *read all your mails before replying* to a mail. Someone may have already answered it. 14. Remember that most of the people are paying by the minute for their internet access. Some pay per byte. Hence please do not waste bandwidth. Ensure your posts are in plain text only. Do not post html mails, or include attachments. Restrict signatures to not more than 4 lines of 72 column text. Do NOT include company disclaimers in your messages. 15. Any violation to the above will be given a warning. 5 such warnings and the subscriber will be suspended from the mailing list for 15 days. Compiled by - G.Sagar. (with a few additions by Nagarjuna G. and Sandesh Rao) -- On a clear disk you can seek forever.

[ILUG-BOM]Problem with using IMAP daemon.
by Rajen M. Parekh 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

Hello Luggers, I am trying to use Squirrelmail (a web based email client). It requires an imap service running. I want to access my mails in /var/spool/mail/rajen. I don't know much about how to use imap nor have I read much about it anywhere. I installed imapd (UW), and xinetd. I enabled imap in /etc/xinetd.d/imap file, which looks like, service imap { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/imapd flags = IPv4 } Then I enabled imap in inetd.conf, which looks like, imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd I still could not log in using Squirrelmail. I then tried to use telnet on port 143. When I connect I get the following message, Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED] localhost IMAP4rev1 2002.332 at Wed, 15 Oct 2003 12:37:52 +0530 (IST) The problem it seems to me is that is imapd starts with LOGINDISABLED. How can I change that? Or is it so that imapd is compiled with this option. The man pages nor the documentation available with the package is of any help. BTW, I am using Suse Linux 8.2 ... Rajen.

No. The browser tries to do a host look up through the proxy (am i right here ?) so u could block ads even there.

[ILUG-BOM]Lynx with windows proxy authentication

Hi, I am planning to use Lynx on my windows box. Problem is that the proxy server is a Micro$soft platform and setup for windows integrated authentication. Due to this reason, I am able to use only Internet Exploder to access net. Is there any way to set Lynx for windows or SOCKs authentication?

I came across this GTK based downloader for Linux. It's really fast loading and full-featured like the famous flashget for windows. You might want to try it out - http://www.krasu.ru/soft/chuchelo/ While wget is good, it lacks multiple stream downloading, and for Joes, a gui and a few more things like scheduling, b/w control etc etc. Also there's a superb ad filter - bfilter - for linux. http://bfilter.sourceforge.net/ Its ad detection is heuristic in nature and hardly requires any fine tuning. Needless to say all the ads on my screen have vanished. As if that wasn't enough the author is planning on flash ad detection and removal. In fact its already in cvs. Try out whatever u like, stable or cvs. reporting from 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.

[ILUG-BOM] Looking for recommendation -- Building Highly Scalable Standalone Linux Server
by Virendra Rode 10 Oct '03

10 Oct '03

Hi There. I am looking for some hard core technical documentation and articles which explains how to build a highly scalable standalone linux server for hosting purposes. It will be running a combination of Billing Software, Network Monitoring, Security (some form of encryption), Web Server, Database (mysql and postgres) which could lead to heavy usage. I know certain queries can be googled but what I am really interested in is people's recommendation with pointers that talk about lessons learned from folks who have built heavy duty servers (w/ storage requirements, raid, ram, processors..etc) for a data center environment. This information will be extremely valuable to my team. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Virendra

[ILUG-BOM]Performance issue and image saving options
by Ramachandra Putti 10 Oct '03

10 Oct '03

Hi Friends, I have to manipulate ( rotate ) a tiff file having 5600 x 6600 pixels. For that I created a pixbuf from file Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> m_ppixBuf; m_ppixBuf = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file(filename ); int lHeight = m_ppixBuf->get_height(); int lWidth = m_ppixBuf->get_width(); int lRotatedRowStride = m_ppixBuf->get_rowstride(); Then collected data in a local variable, gchar* pixdata = m_ppixBuf->get_pixels(); Allocating equivalent memory to one temporary variable gchar* tmpdata = (char *) malloc( lHeight * lWidth * lNo_of_channels); Then coying pixels one by one from source to target using memcpy function. // case 90 degree : for(j = 0, k = (lHeight-1); j < lHeight; j++, k--) { for(i = 0; i < lWidth; i++) { memcpy(&tmpmap[i * lRotatedRowStride + k * iNo_of_Channel], &bitmap[j * lRowstride + i * iNo_of_Channel], iNo_of_Channel); } } This code works fine , but takes lot of time to rotate large image. Is there any other way to make this operation faster? Also I want to save modified pixbuf in "tiff" file, but GDK library allows me to save only in PNG and JPEG format. How will I save it in tiff format? If anyone knows please help me. Thanks, Ramachandra

[ILUG-BOM](QUERY)LDAP Authentication
by Dipu Kumar M 09 Oct '03

09 Oct '03

Hi friends, I am facing the foollowing problem with LDAP based authentication. Let me explain about it. I am in the first phace and so only a single machine is acting as client. The domain name which I am using is dc=it,dc=iitb,dc=ac,dc=in And in the client side I configued the authentication part for LDAP based authentication. ( ie LDAP server as 10.129.50.37 -which is the ip of my server Base dn as dc=it,dc=iitb,dc=ac,dc=in ) Using the migration tool, I migrated the accouts from the client to server and it is comimg under ou=People subtree in the LDAP tree. Then I deleted all other accounts( root, postgres etc. ) from the LDAP tree and only one guest account of the client I kept there. Then I removed the guest user from the client and tried to login to that with the assumption that I can login through the LDAP. But it is not allowing me for that and the usual invalid username or password mesaage is what I am getting. So friends, Is there anything wrong in what I am doing ? or Is there something more I have to do ? Thanking you in anticipation, Dipu Kumar M IIT, Bombay He will be there whenever one wants him or not

Re: [ILUG-BOM]squid configuration issue
by Amish Mehta 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

>I am having problem in configuring my Squid Server.. >Problem is that.. i able to access net through port 80 and the default ports >tht are mentioned in /etc/squid/squid.conf file... squid is proxy for HTTP(port 80), FTP(port 21) not for SMTP(port 25), POP(port 110). Opening SMTP port in squid is not advisable(read conf for why?). >I want to all my port >open for two way communication.. Like as of now i am not able to connect >thru..Kmail service... Port control is done by firewall(man ipchains; man iptables). You need to open those ports. However, I find your question little unclear that if kmail is running on same machine or other machine on network. Most linux distributions have firewalls configured to allow outgoing connections. So Kmail should work if it is running on the same machine. Otherwise you need to setup your machine as a gateway. Amish.

[ILUG-BOM]problem with C

i came across a peculiar problem in C: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ float a = 2.5, b = 2.5; printf ( " %f " , b++ / a + b-- ) ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the weirdest part is that it gives different answers depending on the compiler used: gcc (2.95.2) :- 3.5 turbo C :- 4.5 jdk1.4 (gnu/linux) :- 4.5 my problem is, if such / similar question arises in gate (IIT entrance exam for M.Tech), what should i write? any help regarding the actual concept of solving problems similar to the above will be greatly appreciated. p.s.: Let Us C - yeshwant kanithkar -> appendix A (precedence of operators) -> increment/decrement operators, says that increment/decrement operators act from right to left. what does that mean? thank you for all the help ;-)

Hi Group, I have implemented message queue to communicate between two processes. Message queue is created by using IPC-wait. An XP-Com component running JavaScript and main application. The main application waits till some message is put by the Java Script application in the message queue. At this stage, if GDB is used for debugging, the application hangs. What is the workaround for this? I need to use fprint for each line to debug, which is quite tiring. Regards, Ramachandra

hi, if it's not the wrong location of the fs.h file (i really doubt it is) ... then try this ... since the compiler is saying "dereferencing pointer to incomplete type" ... maybe it is that the struct u r passing to the function is not properly initialized ... like if the struct object u r passing to the function has been just intialized as struct buffer_head *structobbject; then structobject is not initialized ... try structobject = new buffer_head[1]; then u can pass structobject to ur function and use map->b_data within the function... this may work .. try it ... if this doesn't .. post again .. i'll think of something else. dinesh. - Perfection or Nothing.

[ILUG-BOM] RE: [ilugd] Enterprise Software Stack across operating Systems (fwd)
by Shuvam Misra 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Dear all, We've just witnessed a debate about allowing /banning HTML mail. I received (or didn't receive, choose whatever you want) such a mail from ILUG Delhi, which highlights the problem of banning such mail. One member, Tarun Upadhyay, has done some hard work to create a table listing software available commercially and in open source, and has tried to start a discussion. His table, when sent in HTML, got blocked because ILUG Delhi blocks all attachments. When he sent it as in-line plain text, you can see what came through. I can't read head or tail of it because of the line wrapping, and I don't have time to manually re-format it just to read it. Tarun is probably going to try putting it up on some Website. Not all of us list members have access to such Websites, and the ILUG groups don't seem to provide this sort of Vault as a service to its members. (ILUG Delhi certainly doesn't seem to.) And if I were in his place, I wouldn't have taken the trouble to find a Website in this case; this table covers a subject fundamental enough for me to want to send it to all list members by email. I asked Tarun, by direct email, to send me the table as an HTML attachment. He did. My purpose was served. Is this a scalable model? If a hundred members of ILUGD (they have many hundred) had asked individually, should I expect that he'll oblige all of them? Who loses and who wins in this case? I'd say the whole mailing list loses, because no discussion really happens, and Tarun Upadhyay's work "goes waste" in a sense. As it is, we know how rare it is for any member of any list to create any original content and submit it to the list. What would you suggest we should do in situations like this? My suggestion: all emails submitted with attachments should be forwarded with moderator approval (if Mailman permits such a filtering); It should not blindly be stripped of attachments. Just a thought. :) regards, Shuvam On Tue, 30 Sep 2003, Tarun Upadhyay wrote: > All right. All right. I figured out the hard way that I cannot send > attachments to the list.

List Guidelines
by Linuxers Admin 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Welcome to the GNU/Linux User Group of Bombay (ilug-bom)! READ THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THEM CLOSELY Now that you are a member you can read and post mails to the group. The messages have to be related to propogating, using, trouble-shooting, bug-fixing, of GNU/Linux operating system. Feature comparision of other operating systems and distributions is allowed, but restrain from BASHING. GNU/Linux is possibly the most friendly operating system, and hence as users of the OS let us all maintain a FRIENDLY tone to our conversations on the list. YOU are the best judge to determine the relevance or irrelevance of your post to GNU/Linux, and therefore you are responsible for your postings. Since this is not a moderated list, please read the guidelines before posting mails to the list. The sole functioning of this list is based on the self disciplinary nature of its users. ILUG-Bom Mailing List participation Guidelines 1. Keep paragraphs and messages short and to the point. See that what you are writing is useful to the mailing list. If not, send it as a private message to the person. (Note that by default the mails go to the LIST) Please change the sender address appropriately before sending a personal mail. 2. When quoting another person, edit out whatever isn't directly applicable to your reply. Don't let your mailing software automatically quote the entire body of messages you are replying to when it's not necessary. Take the time to edit any quotations down to the minimum necessary to provide context for your reply. Nobody likes reading a long message in quotes for the third or fourth time, only to be followed by a one line response: "Yeah, me too". Messages larger than 7k will not be posted immediately. Such messages will need the list admin's approval. 3. Focus on one subject per message and always include a pertinent subject title for the message, that way the user can locate the message quickly. Also please include a suitable header in case of Commercial / Offtopic mails. Do NOT use subject headers like "HELP", "One question". Most experienced users will simply ignore these mails. 4. Capitalise words only to highlight an important point or to distinguish a title or heading. Capitalizing whole words that are not titles is generally termed as SHOUTING! *Asterisks* surrounding a word can be used to make a stronger point. Use the underscore symbol before and after the title of a book, i.e. _Linux Configuration And Installation_ Underscores may also be used to signify _underlining_, while surrounding your text with slashes makes it /italics/. 5. Limit line length to approximately 65-70 characters and avoid control characters. This helps ensure that lines don't grow too long after several levels of replies. Remember that each reply adds one level of > to the start of the line. 6. NEVER send chain letters to the mailing list. A mail simultaneously sent to more than 10 users will not reach the list. This is to eliminate possible spammers/bulk mailers to reach the list. 7. Be careful when using sarcasm and humour. Without face to face communications your joke may be viewed as criticism. When being humourous, use emoticons (smileys) to express humour. (tilt your head to the left to see the emoticon smile) :-) = happy face for humour. 8. If a mail has offended you personally, please send a private message to the person expressing how you feel, instead of sending it to the mailing list. 9. Please remember that we have both male and female members. No gender abuse is allowed on the list, and do not include any gender specific slang in your posts. 10. Acronyms can be used to abbreviate when possible, however messages that are filled with acronyms can be confusing and annoying to the reader. Examples: IMHO = in my humble/honest opinion FYI = for your information BTW = by the way Flame = antagonistic criticism. http://www.jargon.org for more such acronymns. 11. Please provide URL's to articles wherever possible. Avoid cutting and pasting whole articles especially considering the fact that all may not be interested. In any case your posting may not be more than 7k. Occassionally if you may have to send such a mail, post it, it will reach the members after the list admin approves it. 12.

Do NOT include company disclaimers in your messages. 15. Any violation to the above will be given a warning. 5 such warnings and the subscriber will be suspended from the mailing list for 15 days.

Content filtering
by Linuxers Admin 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Votes were taken on whether to block non-text messages or not. 740 subscribers. About 30 participated in the vote 18 - for 9 - against 3 - i cannot figure out what they said There was also 1 vote for Digests being MIMEd. One common request from all camps was that html mails/senders of these mails should not be blocked completely, but if possible should be converted to text and sent forward. If it is blocked, then the user should be notified about why it was blocked and how he can fix it. Admin's decision: filter content. primarily text/plain will be allowed through. signed mails will also be allowed. text/html will be converted to text/plain. Other attachments will be stripped. Messages will be dropped if there is nothing left in them after filtering (eg, someone sends html mail that has no content). -- List Admin

Blocking any attachments is fine, but blocking html to favour plain text would be like buying a new computer just because your operating system doesn't support it. Why can't there be html support into procmail, mutt, etc (lynx code could provide a hint)? We're trying to get people interested in GNU/Linux, not to tell them "You are welcome, but only on our conditions. Don't use html mailing. Don't call GNU/Linux as Linux (boy do we have flame fests on that one)....". All I heard from the mutt and procmail users here is "change mailing list policies for us because our systems don't like them". Why doesn't anyone come forward and say "lets start a mini project to incorporate html support into procmail/mutt". The whole concept of GNU/Linux being a geeks OS only is being stressed here by saying "you gotta learn alternate (probably dificult for some) ways to express yourself by using your imagination. If you're not good enough then Linux is not for you.. go to your sucky windows". Ban html messages and lose the initiative on getting newbies into the GLUG. Getting warning messages the first time doesn't exactly seem to be a welcoming sign for any newbie probably struggling to install the OS on his system. Let it remain an elitist group then.

problem starting emacs
by psawant＠nse.co.in 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

i connect to a gnu/linux server through telnet. on the server, emacs is installed, but X is not. when i try to start emacs, it gives the foll error (i guess this is because emacs is trying to start X). emacs: error in loading shared libraries: libXaw3d.so.7: cannot open shared obje ct file: No such file or directory is there any way to start emacs in the non-gui mode (i know this can be done, but don't know how to do it). at my home, if i open emacs in the prompt mode (with the X stopped), it opens automatically in the non-gui mode. the server is managed by a sysadmin. do i need to tell him to do something, or can it be done if i add something in my ".bashrc" or ".emacsrc" files? i would be thankful if anyone could suggest some way to do it.

Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Can you put a comment for a tag in CVS
by Abhijeet Mhatre 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hi Philip Thanks a lot for your reply. This changeLog and RELEASE_NOTES idea sound good. So when you have to release a module you need to edit these files to reflect your projects capibiliteis etc. Am I right? There's one more thing I wanted to ask. I can update my module or file to a tag or a date in YYYY-MM-DD format. But how can I update a file to a older revision which is not tagged. For example. Today I make 3 commits for a file. and only the first and last are tagged so say the file has revisions 1.1 1.2 and 1.3 Now I can update to 1.1 and 1.3 since they are tagged. How do I update to 1.2 ? If I want to check out 1.2 or see what the file contained, how do I do that. regards Abhijeet D Mhatre > Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 09:31:48 +0530 (IST) > From: Philip S Tellis <philip(a)ncst.ernet.in> > Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Can you put a comment for a tag in CVS > To: "GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India" > <linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in> > Message-ID: > <Pine.LNX.4.44.0309230928240.17356-100000(a)bigears.ncst.ernet.in> > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > > On Mon, 22 Sep 2003, Abhijeet Mhatre wrote: > > > I can put a comment when I "commit" my files.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [Vote] blocking non-text messages
by Amish Mehta 27 Sep '03

Yes I think only text/plain, text/html and also message/rfc822(and sub text parts) should be allowed. Because attachments if any can be posted in form of links. I am asking to allow text/html because Yahoo/Hotmail/MSOE, the most used e-mail clients offer rich text compose feature, and its tendency of people to use it, and probably its on by default and non-technical/newbie sender may not know how to disable it. OR if we block text/html then he/she should automatically informed(atleast 1 or 2 times) that his/her message was blocked, for it is not text/plain. But I dont know if that can be done with mailman.
