Linux
by dhiraj tuteja 09 May '03

09 May '03

Sir, I have installed Red Hat Linux version 8.0(pscyche) But I am still having some problems: 1. I have an internal modem and linux is unable to detect it. As it was mentioned in the latest edition edition of linuxforu magazine I tried using KPPP software for configuring internet but received no success. 2. I am still unable to find exactly where to do programming. I have emacs. But still not very comfortable in it. I am referring the book : Unix Concepts & Applications (2nd edition) By Sumitabha Das Publisher Name : Tata Mcgraw Hill Nowhere in the whole book the author has written to use which editor. Just given the commands and I am uuable to find the interface to run them. 3. Sometimes it shows error: Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying "/boot/grub/stage1" (or any other file) 4. I changed some settings and now when shutting down linux I get the message : Shutting down NMB services [Failed] Shutting down SMB services [Failed] Do I need to reinstall? 5. As in windows we have Norton Anti-Virus software. What about Linux. Any other software from where can I get it? Any website! 6. Can I install 2 Linux flavours on same P.C. 7. Now I can my Linux through Windows using Cygwin. I wanted to know like Through Linux I would be able to able to play songs stored On Windows( by mounting the partition or using some software like Wine) or do I have to again load them on Linux 7. Also how to create shortcut on desktop for a particular package. I just drag it to desktop. Is there any other method ? 8. Any free tutorial available on any website to learn linux and its detailed installation procedure guidelines. If available on the Linux Cd itself then how to extract them. 9. Through which software I will be able to write in Hindi fonts on Linux. 10. Is there any facility for address book on Linux. If exists then how to give password to my contacts folder as I don't want to share it. Also how to give password facility for the contacts foler in address book on Windows.(urgently needed) Would be thankful if you could solve some of my these basic queries. Waiting for an early reply. Yours sincerely, Dhiraj

[Announce] Ayttm - 0.3.0
by Philip S Tellis 08 May '03

08 May '03

Ayttm 0.3.0 has been released. http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/ Ayttm is a Universal Instant Messenger, and is the heir to the everybuddy project. The minor version number bump is so because we feel there are enough new features since 0.2.x to motivate it, and to make people read the release notes. Things have changed and we'll get bugreports if no one reads it. Modules path has changed, it is now $PREFIX/lib/ayttm instead of $PREFIX/share/ayttm/modules, so if upgrading, you have to change your ~/.ayttm/prefs file by replacing "share/ayttm/modules" by "lib/ayttm". You'll find a perl script on the download page that does the job. * Bugfixes - Segfaults fixed ;-) - MSN: Login in predefined state now works - Compilation warnings - Plug memory leaks - gdk_pixbuf optional - Jabber fixes - Yahoo chatroom (bad name displaying) fix - --url command-line option (lets modules handle URLs, ie "aim:goim?screenname=colinleroy") - TOC modules now try ports 80 and 9898 (should stop problems from places with transparent http proxies) - Fix useless Error popup at logout (with Jabber) - Handle TOC Chatrooms name errors - Proxy support fixed (every type of proxy should work with or without auth) - Modules path changed to comply with FHS (read README!) * New features - "Actions": lets you run arbitrary commands with your conversation logs (print, mail, view in browser,...) - New away messages system (allows deletion) - Login on startup now on a per-account basis - Asynchronous connection for jabber - Activity bars for Yahoo,MSN,AIM,ICQ,Jabber (allows cancellation of hung connections) - Yahoo: non-blocking connects for every connection - Shiny new preferences window You can download it (source and rpms) from http://ayttm.sf.net/files.shtml -- Avoid strange women and temporary variables.

Hello Vinod, good-day. We indeed will be glad to meet you all at Dharwad. But planning out for your event at Dharwad will take some time and i suggest you get started on the same. When we meet at iitb-hubli, we can sit and discuss these issues face-to-face. As for the Event and your existing use of Free Software and Open source, yes......that indeed makes me glad and proud. You indeed have made your self and the college proud by insisting on going in for Open Source and Free Software. I would suggest you read up on the following sites that will give you enough information on Free Software and Open source. * www.gnu.org * www.opensource.org Lemme know if you have any other clarification to make on the same. DO keep in touch and lemme know if you desire any clarifications on the same. Last but not the least....post reading up the sites lemme know if you would prefer to rename the event to "Free Software : The Road ahead". Have a nice day vinod.
