It's aimed at all owners of PCTel-chipset based modems. http://pctelcompdb.sourceforge.net/ Audience: All owners of PCTel chipset based modems. Dasgupta explains: "The PCTel Modem-Linux Compatibilty Database is an effort to collect and categorise information regarding PCTel softmodems' compatibility in Linux. PCTel provides (unofficially) proprietary Linux drivers for their modems. However, some of the PCTel softmodems still refuse to work with Linux, and moreover, to use the drivers, one has to know the chipset present in one's modem. "The project is designed in such a manner that users will be able to add their modem information (chipset, working status, distributions tested, drivers tested, etc) in a database, which, in turn can be viewed and searched by users whose modems are still not functioning." All owners of PCTel modems are requested to visit the project site at http://pctelcompdb.sourceforge.net/index.php and submit their modem information. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Shiv Nair <snair(a)webintellisys.com> announces the launch of a new version (1.14) of the Intellisys Project Management Software.

Problem with "locale" setting while using X

Hi all, Recently I upgraded the X server from 4.0.3 to 4.2. Now, when I start WindowMaker, I get the following message..... wmaker warning: X server does not support locale wmaker warning: cannot set locale modifiers wmaker warning: could not open IM X still works, but now I am not able to start OpenOffice. I get the message..... I18N: X Window does not support locale "en_US" I18N: X Window does not support locale "C" When I start Mozilla, I get the following message...... Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers The "locale" is properly set, because when I check the environment variable LANG, it gives me "en_US" [rajen@localhost ~]$ echo $LANG en_US What seems to be the problem ? Why doesn't X set the locale ? Rajen. ------- Woman on Street: Sir, you are drunk; very, very drunk. Winston Churchill: Madame, you are ugly; very, very ugly. I shall be sober in the morning.

Re: Upgrading glibc and the kernel
by Vinay Pai 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

> So if I upgrade glibc, the kernel won't work? OK, I'm not really that much of an expert and I've learnt many things the hard way. So let me tell you some things from experience! Anybody who know better please do correct me. I started out with a Redhat 7 system, so it has a 2.2 kernel and glibc 2.1. Since then I've been doing most of my upgrades by compiling sources (its a lot more work and lot messier, but you get to learn a lot more then by just installing RPMs!) Once I got the drivers and other kernel configuration paramaters right, I had no trouble at all. glibc worked just fine with the new kernel. My guess is that glibc talks to the kernel through traps/interrupts so unless there's a drastic change in the interface glibc wouldn't mind... and the kernel developers won't break binary compatibility unless there's an overwhelmingly strong reason to do so. My conclusion, kernels can be upgraded pretty painlessly. Glibc was another matter. I installed glibc 2.2.3 with the prefix /usr/local (the default) and everything seemed fine. But when I later upgraded to 2.2.5 things went nuts. I don't know what I did, but somehow the linker (ld-linux) couldn't find glibc 2.2.3 so everything I'd compiled on my system failed. When I copied ld-2.2.3.so to /lib hoping it would be found there, all of redhat's stuff (cp, ls etc!!!) stopped working. I had to boot from the rescue CD to fix that. Ultimately I ended up compiling both the glibc 2.2.3 and 2.2.5 and installing them both with /usr prefix, and everything's been working fine ever since. My conclusion, upgrading glibc can break your system totally if you don't know that you're doing! However there's one thing you should know... the kernel doesn't need to find glibc while its being compiled... its the other way around. Glibc is a C-callable interface to ther kernel services. If you also want to upgrade GCC you might want to do it before glibc... the quality of code produced by the compiler won't depend much on the version of libc used by the compiler, but compiling glibc with the latest gcc might help take advantages of the latest features and optimizations. However, use kgcc rather than gcc 3.x to compile the kernel. I remember getting a horribly broken kernel when I compiled it with 3.0.1 (iirc)

Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Setting up a Project Resource Center for Students all over India...IMP
by Amol Hatwar 02 Jul '02

Feeling and expressing feeling are two different things. I think I _must_ help express the vision, mission and other statements. (with everyone's nod off-course). As far as projects go it will be wise to have graded projects ... that add up with difficulty. The way CS is taught in colleges, code generally gets unweildy after a few hundered lines. *I have been thru that* We will also need to offer students a lot of resources where they could learn a lot more-while we guide them when things go bad. Good programming I guess is always self-taught. I have a Content Management System in mind built initially with PHP as a project. Good CMSs cost more than USD 10,000. I even had a talk with RMS about getting integrating this with GNUe, but it went all naught. As of now me and a few of my friends are helping me out... but with the kind of features I am thinking of adding-this will be one *HUGE* project.

If you could get your floppy drive working (if unused for long, an earbud+alcohol aught to cure it), Segate has got good disk utilities at their site.

I have fiddled *even crashed* Apache by doing strange things, and I find keeping a virtual host actually helps. Atleast, your apache documentation remains accessible at http://localhost at all times ;). Well, as for your problem goes Unmesh you can use a DNS server. But the way you ask your question, I guess you haven't set one up. Still, you can get the thing done a DNS server. In the file /etc/hosts, you can add the IP address and the Domain you want. Also you have set the DNS search order to host and then DNS. This you can do using linuxconf I guess. But remember from wherever you plan to access your intranet site you must make changes there. *manageable if your Network is small enuff*. Similar settings can be done on your windows based clients as well. All you now have to do is setup up Apache accordingly.

Epson Stylus 460 never worked for me
by Tahir Hashmi 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

Hi all! It's been two years since I'm using Linux and at my workplace I'm using Linux exclusively. I could've had a Linux-only setup at home also but for one thing - printer. I've been driven nuts trying to get my Epson Stylus 460 running in Linux in vain. My last attempt was with the stock foomatic printer drivers that came with RedHat 7.2. I had made a clean reinstall of RedHat 7.2 and I selected the Stylus 460 driver - there were three options for that and I selected stp, IIRC. When I tried printing the PS test page, the printer started spewing *** Unable to open initial device *** ad infinitum. Now I'm going back home after 3 months (I work in a different city, you see) armed with RH 7.3 CDs and I plan to upgrade from 7.2. This time could someone please tell me how to get things done? I would be OK w/o photo printing as long as I can atleast print color postscript and images at the normal 600 dpi. When I posted about my last attempt with stock RH 7.2 foomatic drivers, someone told that those drivers were broken and I should use new ones. Hope this time around things might look up. But please do give me some clear instructions on how to set it up using the RH 7.3 foomatic drivers and printconf-tui or printconf-gui. Thanks a lot in advance :-) --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed ____________________________________________________________ Win a first-class trip to New Orleans and vacation Elvis Style!.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Can't read vfat partitions
by Vinay Pai 27 Jun '02

> hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } > hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's your cue! There's a physical error (bad sector) on your hard disk. UncorrectableError means there was a burst error severe enough that the ECC algorithm couldn't correct it. If you can read other partitions from the same hard disk, there's a good chance that it is only a few bad sectors and most of your data is intact. Your best bet is to somehow boot to Windows or DOS 7.x and run Norton Disk Doctor. Don't bother running scandisk. It'll say something like "Errors in Filesystem, Scandisk can't run" (duh!) If that doesn't work, and you have sufficiently important data on that disk let me know. If enough of the filesystem tables are intact it ought to be possible to fix it manually. Anyway ultimately you want to do a low-level format of that hard disk before you use it again.

Can't read vfat partitions
by Philip S Tellis 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

I have one ext2 partition, two fat32 partitions and one fat16 partition. I can mount the ext2 and fat16 partitions, but am unable to mount the vfat (fat32) partitions. When I try to mount them, the hard disk makes a humming sound, and I get these errors: hda: timeout waiting for DMA hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } hda: DMA disabled ide0: reset: success hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 1 FAT bread failed mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems This happens everytime. I tried disabling dma and then mounting, and I get these errors: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 1 FAT bread failed mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems I am unable to boot into the fat32 partitions either. I have not used Windows for several months now, so don't think that this is a windows related problem, and I was able to mount the partitions last night, but not since this afternoon. Shutdown was uneventful the last time I used the fat32 partitions. I have all my documentation stored on those partitions and refer to them frequently. Any ideas as to what has happened and how I may be able to fix it? Philip

We can make it more organized and rich with good links. By >keeping >only pointers in organized way, we will be able to build >resource >repository faster and with less effort. *snip* That's a good thought Dharmesh, but I would stick with the content paradigm for a plethora of reasons. First, because first-hand experiences with software and various tools that many ilugers have are invaluable. Secondly, sharing experiences and content will not only hon up your communication skills-but it will also evoke responses from people all over the world. Thirdly because India is a different country. For example, a small company in the US may even have 500 employees. In India that would be a medium-sized company. GNU/Linux is good for SMEs who want to save on their IT investments. Hell, in India small-companies are like 15-80 employees, perhaps even lesser. What is true off-shore won't be true here. One must realise that everything has a local twist. And most importantly you'd want to do this because, you would want to popularise GNU/Linux among Indian people - students especially. For this they must be able to relate to and maybe even meet the contributors. That's the whole issue of having a community isn't it? In contrast to your less-effort point, this will certainly require a lot more efforts-perhaps much more than we ever imagined. But the returns will be more promising. See if you agree with this Dharmesh. Content is an empty word-it's knowledge and wisdom that you share :). I wonder what the others feel about this.

Interested in exploring J2EE without leaving GPL ethics
by Dharmesh Maniar 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

I was always wanted to learn and work on J2EE framework since i saw it's market potential :). But only thing preventing me was the commercial Application Servers like WebLogic and WebSpheer which are not free. Good news!! I recently came to know about the alternatives to these commercial servers in Open Source community too. As following report says, they are really powerful. Go through http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=6461 and make ur hand dirty with JBOSS(which seems the best) App Server if u r really interested in J2EE. Find ur customer and deploy their web application on such free s/w ;). This can be the best way to penetrate Open Source s/w among real users. Regs, -Dharmesh

If that doesn't make the answer obvious-it's a YES! But again, many web-mail services don't allow you to do this. For starters, if you use Outlook you can try configuring a new accout with your name as Santa Claus and the e-mail address as santa(a)northpole.com... just give the login information for your POP3 server right.

You have missed the point entirely. Free is not the free that trick marketeers push down your throat. THE free refers to free as in freedom, not free as in cost. Free is freedom to modify. Though most of the licenses in the free world are GPLish, there are subtle differences. You must choose one that you can enforce legally ;) And yes, you can charge for your efforts. But you have to make the source available (atleast on request). Check these links out for more details... and yes... googling will give you a lot of material and food for thought :). http://www.opensource.org http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/license-list.html http://www.daemonnews.org/199905/gpl.html http://www.stromian.com/Public_Licenses.html Amol Hatwar. _________________________________________________________ There is always a better job for you at Monsterindia.com.

Most Linux developers I have encountered, use all their software for free. As a computer professional, I install the RedHat 7.2 or 7.3 Linux operating system and utilities onto a customer's computer(s) free of charge anyway. May I charge for software that I develop using C++ or Python and Qt/X11 Free Edition? May I make customers pay fair price for transfer/license of the computer professional's intellectual property, personal labor and operational costs incurred (salaries, rents, electricity, air-conditioning, etc.) not to mention profits/margins.

First see if telnetd and your ftp daemons are properly configured and running. You can use 'ntsysv' as root to see if they are started at run-time.

Hi, I have been using Debian unstable on my machine for the more than a year now ... Are there other Debian users out there on the list?? I need to come up with arguments to atleast try out Debian instead of RedHat. I use it for the sheer ease of upgrades and stability. But I need arguments strong enough to convince sysads and end-users alike to try it out, and to justify setting up a Debian mirror. In fact, Debian is not too popular here in the IIT ...

Debian users
by terrence d'souza 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

Been using Debian unstable since last October. For development it is The Distro. It has ports to most (all the ones that i know of) CPUs, which is vital for embedded stuff. It has a sane dependency & package managment policy. It has the largest number of packages. It is the esasiest to upgrade and maintain (particularly with a fat net connection. Commercial distros try to create a "typical user" cd. A typicla developer environment is anything but typical. Further there will be no nasty suprises in the gcc or per seat licences or some other desperate manuover to stay alive. Debian has a life and world all it's own and will be around long after the commercial distros. So for the technically savy it is the distro to use. rgds jtdesouza(a)yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello, I recently upgraded to RedHat 7.3 ( I was previously using RedHat 7.1 ). I have a Motorola SM56 internal modem on my machine. I have the modem driver for RedHat 7.1 ( downloaded from the motorola WebSite ). I was using this to run my modem on my earlier Linux installation. The same driver doesn't seem to work with RH 7.3 ... I looked around for another driver that would work but had no luck. I'd be grateful if someone could tell me how to get my modem to work on RH 7.3 or give me link to a website that will tell me how to do it. Thanks, Rohit.

Mysterious Galeon Crashes
by Tahir Hashmi 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

Hi! Folks, it's not very frequently that one sees Galeon crash (> 1.0) Try opening this URL: http://thekompany.com/products/blackadder/ and Galeon will die without a whimper as soon as the page stops loading. If you add this page to your bookmarks (I use the XBEL format), Galeon dies as soon as you click on the Bookmarks button on the main toolbar! I'd like to know for sure whether this is an isolated case. However, do save your bookmarks if you are trying the crash on bookmarking also if you don't want to trawl the bookmarks.xbel file. --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed _______________________________________________________ WIN a first class trip to Hawaii.

Nope, It does not. I opened the site and added it to my bookmark, no probs. I also use XBEL format for bookmark. There were few problems with galeon's stability few days back but now it is stable. I use Galeon 1.2.3 which uses Mozila 1.0 as renderer. I think, my problem got solved because of Debian's fantastic upgrade facility. It keeps upgrading and bug fixing ur system. You should look for an upgrade for ur Galeon. -Dharmesh

So n e body suggest me step by step configuration for accessing Telnet / FTP to Linux machine from my Windows PC.�? I m having mail account with VSNL. And I wants to access my mails of VSNL POP3 account in to the Linux Mail client like Mutt. So, how do I access it in Mutt/Pine etc�..? Apart from there n e body have the Idea to configure multiple POP3 as well as multiple SMTP servers like wat my friends were doing in MS-Outlook Express. Is there any mail client which allows the facility like MS-OE�.? My friend is installed RH Linux 7.2 just last week. He is having ISDN connection for Internet as an alternative to his Cable Internet. So, how can he b able to configure his ISDN Connection on Linux system�.? Plz. Suggest step by step configuration. Is thr n e body who can burn the CDs of FreeBSD for me�? I m also ready to pay the cost of the CDs. So, plz. Contact me Off the List for that matter. Lots of thanx to all Lugger Friends. Happy Linuxing.

debian mirrors

Hi, I had posted a mail earlier saying that I found it very difficult to run "apt-get update" ... it turns out that the default debian sites have become extremely slow to access from IIT. Now that I switched to the Australian mirror (arbit decision) everything is fine. Has anybody tried using netselect to see which is the best mirror to use from India? I can't do that from IIT since ping packets can't go out ...

Hi Luggers, here is something to laugh about.... http://www.linuxsucks.com Check out the Linux vs. Windows NT link. Enlightening ;) However SOME points written about GNU/Linux cannot be ignored. Like limited hardware support (I myself am a victim of SiS6215) and lack of multithreaded kernel on GNU/Linux (this prevented us from porting our software from Solaris to Linux). Nevertheless site is worth a look-laugh and ignore... ===== rgds, Aditya N. ---------------------- Junior Research Fellow, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Powai, Mumbai, 400076. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Connecting to Dishnet DSL
by Himanshu Shukla 02 Jun '02

Hi, I have been trying to get Dishnet DSL working on my Mandrake 8.2 machine. This is a USB modem supplied by Dishnet in Mumbai, and is probably a Conexant-make (as is seen in Windows). When I plug this in Linux, the power light does turn on, as in all USB devices, and on running `usbview' I can see it listed as "USB ADSL modem". But my problem is how do I connect to the net? Is there any tool available, like wvdial, that allows ADSL connections, through USB modems? If not, what are the scripts for ppp? Any specific parameters for Dishnet? Any pointers to the same will prove extremely useful. Thanks, --------- Regards, Himanshu

NIC drivers. for Debian
by Q u a s i 30 May '02

30 May '02

Friends, As I did not find anyone to lend me the latest Debian CD's :D, I had to look for alternatives. I convinced a acquaintance (who has a 128kbps line in his office) to allow me to do a all night online install. I went along and then there was this problem. His card is a Dlink dfe-538tx and there was no driver for it. (I have Debian 2.2 rel 2 CD's). A quick search on the net told me that the chipset on that card is a rtl8139 one. I tried the install again and there was a driver for this, but it 'failed' to load. Another quick search on the net told me that this is a problem with the driver which comes with the 2.2.18pre21 kernel. They gave a .c driver file and asked to compile and load it. But the compilation failed as it said that the file was written for gcc 2.7 while I had 2.95. Now I cannot update till I have access to the net. I will not have access till the network card works. What shall I do? Can anyone send me a newer version of the rtl8139 driver which I can load in the 'load extra drivers from floppy' phase? It should also work with my current kernel... Or any other solution...? thanks, quasi

Mindrome is not a Red Hat training partner
by Shankar Iyer 28 May '02

Dear Mr. Wadhwa, Mindrome had signed with Red Hat as a training partner, they were never an RHCE center for exam.

> it gives permission denied error. Whats wrong? Isn't the script suid > to root? Why isn't 'mkdir' getting root privilege? Scripts can't be "suid"ed. The effective UID used will be that of the program used to execute the script (sh/bash/python/perl etc). SUID only works with binaries, i.e. stuff that is executed directly, not using an external interpreter.

partitioning
by Q u a s i 25 May '02

Hello folks, I (finally) acquired a 40Gb HDD. I have partitioned it as follows :- primary - 2Gb - fat32 - /dev/hda1 extended - rest logical - 1.3Gb - Linux /dev/hda5 - 4Gb - fat32 /dev/hda6 - 9Gb - fat32 /dev/hda7 - 9Gb - fat32 /dev/hda8 - rest - fat32 /dev/hda9 I my haste and excitement I did not create a swap partition for Linux. Can I *delete* (using linux fdisk) the /dev/hda5 partition and split it into 2 without harm to the rest of the partitions? I think we can do it as the linux fdisk allows a lot of control, but I would just like to be certain about side-effects. :D Or can I use a swap _file_ instead of a partition? Or is a partition recommended? I would have experimented, but I already lost a lot of data in my last HDD crash and now I do not have a backup HDD. thanks, quasi

Alix - The original name for GNU kernel
by Pankaj Jangid 17 May '02

17 May '02

Hi All, I came across this paragraph while reading about "The GNU Project". These words are written by "Richard M. Stallman" Alix The GNU kernel was not originally supposed to be called the HURD. Its original name was Alix--named after the woman who was my sweetheart at the time. She, a Unix system administrator, had pointed out how her name would fit a common naming pattern for Unix system versions; as a joke, she told her friends, "Someone should name a kernel after me." I said nothing, but decided to surprise her with a kernel named Alix. It did not stay that way. Michael Bushnell (now Thomas), the main developer of the kernel, preferred the name HURD, and redefined Alix to refer to a certain part of the kernel--the part that would trap system calls and handle them by sending messages to HURD servers. Ultimately, Alix and I broke up, and she changed her name; independently, the HURD design was changed so that the C library would send messages directly to servers, and this made the Alix component disappear from the design. But before these things happened, a friend of hers came across the name Alix in the HURD source code, and mentioned the name to her. So the name did its job. -- Pankaj Jangid NCST, India

This is pretty basic. But yeah... the moment you want to do something that's not "inside" tomcat, you'd want to use Native Methods. For this you will have to code on the platform on which you are coding. For example if your external program/method is on Linux, you'd use CPP or C on Linux; if its on Windows, something equivalent. Lets hope things are not much ambiguous now. The question I replied to before had me stumped with ambiguousness. The answer is wrong nevertheless. This one sets things right.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] how to run Tom Cat Server on Linux?
by Amish Mehta 16 May '02

Hints: 1) install tomcat on linux.(JRE required) 2) by default it listens to port 8080, if u disabled it then re-enable it. search for server.xml file, in tomcat directory. Amish. P.S. Apache(port 80) can also serv JSP pages through a module. You will have to modify httpd.conf for that. MALHAR PUJAR wrote: >using JWSDP.
