problem with konsole
by Pradnyesh Sawant 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Hello, I have a queer problem. I'm using debian etch with kde. I'm facing this problem in the "konsole" application wherein if the command, etc that I'm typing overflows into the next line, it does not do a 'carriage feed' (so to say), instead the new text overwrites the currently existing text in the same line... Any ideas how I may fix this problem? -- warm regards, Pradnyesh Sawant -- If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. --Sir Isaac Newton, Letter to Robert Hooke, February 5, 1675

Fwd: <NO>OOXML: Your action is required: Contact BIS now!
by Dinesh Shah 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

List, FYI and possible action? With regards, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Benjamin Henrion <bhenrion(a)ffii.org> Date: Dec 6, 2007 11:29 PM Subject: <NO>OOXML: Your action is required: Contact BIS now! To: dineshah(a)gmail.com Dear Dinesh Shah, You signed the <NO>OOXML petition, a movement backed now by more than 70.000 supporters worldwide. Our effort to influence the OOXML (Office Open XML) standardization process has been an astonishing success so far. We aim for at least 100.000 signatures in February when the Geneva Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) will convene with the aim to resolve comments. Microsoft is trying by all means to get its "standard" adopted without substantial changes despite of its thousands of officially reported technical flaws and the pre-existence of ISO 26300:2006 (OpenDocument, ODF) as the most appropriate international standard for the representation of office documents. By next Tuesday Dec 11 2007 delegates from your National Standards Body BIS who will participate in the BRM have to be announced to ISO. At least Portugal and Ireland will be represented by Microsoft. In many other countries, we know that Microsoft gold partners are proposing themselves as heads of national delegations. Many of them will prevail if we do not take action. Will you let Microsoft represent your country at Geneva and decide the future of OOXML? You can make a difference and call now BIS at +91-1123237991 and help us to find out: a. Who will represent BIS on DIS 29500 at the Ballot Resolution Meeting in Geneva? b. When will the decision on delegates be made and if BIS is aware of the Dec 11 deadline? c. Does your national delegates for the BRM are independent enough from Microsoft? d. Does the responsible Committee of BIS for DIS 29500 work on resolution proposals for all the 3500 comments tabled or - if at all - only for the national comments that they submitted? Please report your findings by replying to this email, we will update this page with the members of each national delegation: http://www.noooxml.org/brm More things that you can do to help our effort against this broken standard proposal: 1. Join our mailing list and get in touch with many other activists: http://lists.ffii.org/mailman/listinfo/noooxml-club 2. Become a member of FFII, the worldwide association leading the <NO>OOXML campaign: http://action.ffii.org/member_application 3. Become a member of DIGISTAN, the organization for the promotion of true digital open standards worldwide; please indicate your interests to: members(a)digistan.org 4. Blog about OOXML which shapes the public debate; blogging has been instrumental to our success in Sweden for example; 5. support our campaign work with financial means: http://www.noooxml.org/donations Best regards, -- Benjamin Henrion <bhenrion(a)ffii.org> <NO>OOXML Campaign leader -- --Dinesh Shah :-) Join the Revolution!

The Linux Delhi Hall Of Shame: Resurrected
by Kumar Appaiah 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Dear Linuxers, I am working on resurrecting the erstwhile Linux Delhi Hall Of Shame, which lists a set of (typically Indian or useful to Indian) websites which are not standards compliant, in the sense that they are designed to work with specific proprietary software applications or operating systems. Full details of criteria and current list of sites in the Hall of Shame are available here: http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/HallOfShame I would request you to familiarize yourself with the criteria which warrant additions to the list, and add relevant sites to the list as well. If you do not want to edit the Wiki yourself, please mail me and I shall add the site to the Wiki. I appreciate your comments and suggestions. Please help in making this effort a success. Thanks are due to Raj "Raju" Mathur of Linux Delhi for his advice in helping me get this done. Thank you.

doubt with mutt/fetchmail
by Pradnyesh Sawant 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hello, I'm using fetchmail+procmail+mutt with pop3 for my gmail accounts. I'm also not deleting messages that are being downloaded from gmail. However, is there any way to sync up my local image and the one on gmail? I mean, if I read/delete a message on my local box, then the corresponding message should also be read/deleted on gmail. I know that imap is a better alternative for that; however, before I start using imap, I have the following doubts: 1. can I d'load the mails permanently so that they may be accessible offline too? 2. I think I can do the above if I use mutt directly with imap instead of going through fetchmail, but then how do I filter messages (how do I use procmail in this setup) 3. even if I use mutt directly, will mutt sync back with gmail? I know that one can use thunderbird/kmail to do this kind of stuff. my query is how does one do this using fetchmail+procmail+mutt? Thanks... -- warm regards, Pradnyesh Sawant -- Work expands so as to fill the time available for it's completion. --Parkinson's law

Viruses Anyone?
by Rony 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hello All, In Linux, I am trying to download InfraRecorder from sourceforge, a libre CD/DVD writer for different platforms. The file I want is an exe for the windows platform. However, when I directly save it to a mounted vfat partition, it is saved as abcd.exe.bin The .bin is added automatically so it cannot be double clicked and run. When I save it to a linux partition, it is saved as abcd.exe During the day, I was working on a windows machine in a user's office and when I selected a particular software for download, immediately the system rebooted and the virus infection being deep, had to be finally removed with a clean install. At the end of the day I selected another file for download from download dot com, and just as I clicked on the download link, it went into reboot. It was the same infection, but this time I shut down the internet before it booted up again and could restore the system to an earlier date. I want to know if all these things are connected and is there some major infection going around? Sourceforge could be using Linux servers, but I feel too scared to download anything for a week or two for windows, even if it is libre software. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There?

FOSS is definetly better. some minor quibbles: Foss History pg 14 Commercial distributions: include support. Sources are free but usually not binaries. Both source and binaries are distributable. However distros obtained without payment to the original company / franchises cannot avail of support. So the sentence should be removed as the clarifications will be complicated. And the first sentence should be rewritten as Include paid support. -- Rgds JTD

Exatt / Worldnet with Linux
by Prashant Shah 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

This guide is to setup Ubuntu Linux with Worldnet / Exattnet. Assume the following : Username : abc Password : xyz Server : worldnet002 Lets get started .... 1. Get a dlink card - DFE-530TX (it has original realtek chipset which if fully supported in linux as 8139too kernel module) Note : There are other lan cards in market available under Realtek chipset - but they didnt work for me. I read about them that they are not original realtek chipset. 2. Run the following command from the shell prompt (needed to set the link speed to 10MPBS and Half duplex) $mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD eth0 Add this line to /etc/rc.local so that it runs at every boot /etc/rc.local mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD eth0 3. Install the pppoe package (google them) modconf_0.3.1_all.deb pppoe_3.8-1.1_i386.deb pppoeconf_1.13_all.deb 4. configure the /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf (substitute the username and passowrd) /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf ETH='eth0' USER='abc' DEMAND=no CONNECT_TIMEOUT=60 CONNECT_POLL=6 PING="." PIDFILE="/var/run/$CF_BASE-pppoe.pid" TERMINATEFILE=/var/run/pppoe.stop SYNCHRONOUS=no CLAMPMSS=no LCP_INTERVAL=20 LCP_FAILURE=3 PPPOE_TIMEOUT=80 FIREWALL=NONE ACNAME='worldnet002' SERVICENAME='worldnet002' DNSTYPE='SERVER' PEERDNS='yes' 5. Run the following command and fill in the details $pppoe-setup 6. Verify the following /etc/ppp/chap-secrets "abc" * "xyz" /etc/ppp/pap-secrets "abc" * "xyz" 7. Start the internet $sudo pppoe-start ...Connected ! Note : Sometimes the worlnet DNS servers will not assign you a IP address. So when you boot into windows note down the IP address assigned to you. Then when you boot into Linux just assign the same IP address to the LAN card as static ip address. This is just a basic hack to get it working. If any improvements or mistakes please suggest. -- Elite System. A open source company http://www.freewebs.com/elitemumbai/index.htm elite.mumbai(a)gmail.com
