help need for bind -dlz
by Agnello George 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

I just started working on bind-dlz , but as per the documentation on the website i need to use the dlz patch with bind 9.2.2 .The thing is i am not able to find this package. As per the README.txt file it quotes the following "First, get Bind version 9.2.2 release from www.isc.org. Newer versions of Bind may be available, but this patch was built to go against the 9.2.2 release. Future versions of this package may be built to go against later versions of Bind. Unzip and untar that on your machine. Once that is finished, make sure your Bind source directory is called "bind-9.2.2". So if any one has work with with this patch on the latest version of bind please let me know . website for reference :http://bind-dlz.sourceforge.net/ Thanks : -) Agnello . G .Dsouza

Need advice for final year project on GNU/Linux platform
by Aman Mathur 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Hello , Myself Aman Mathur , from Mumbai . I am a student currently doing my MCA and have recently joined the Linuxers mailing list . Im a GNU/Linux enthusiast and love the freedom that free software offers. I am really interested in doing my final year project on the GNU/Linux platform instead of a proprietary platform so i was wondering as to how i can go about doing a project on GNU/Linux. The project has to be of minimum 6 months duration so are there any companies, in Mumbai or elsewhere,offering projects to final year MCA students on the GNU/Linux platform ? Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Generate XML file through MySQL DB Insertion
by PIYUSH BANSAL 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

We are in process to execute the event the moment we get an entry in DB i.e. at the time of insertion in MYSQL we need to generate an XML and forward to another server. For example we got an message from user A, we need to fetch all who are linked up with user A and finally put in encoded XML file. At last this XML file has sent to third party server i.e. http://yahoo.com?data=<encoded-xml-string>&action=data<http://yahoo.com/?data=<encoded-xml-string>&action=data> Please let us update if there is any alternate to do rather than MYSQL JOB Handler. Thanks

performance hit for LAMP server
by rohit bhute 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

We are facing a peculiar problem. I'm providing as much details as I can. Even so, tell me if I should provide more info. LAMP server before install - RHEL 3 with Apache 2, PHP 4, MySQL 4. After install - RHEL 5, Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.1.6, MySQL 5.0.2 The problem we are facing is the site performing badly when accessed from certain locations - from our corporate LAN, which is behind Squid. Certain colleagues in other companies (we suspect behind they are also behind Squid or some proxy) also reported with gemeric messages like "site isn't loading". Some symptoms are: 1. Images, CSS, JS files not loading or loading incompletely. 2. If we view source, we see the HTML is fully downloaded, but not rendered. 2. PHP pages being asked to be saved (the saved pages are blank) This problem is prominently noticeable in PHPMyAdmin. 3. The performance improves 9may be illusion) over time, but any new drastic changes brings it to square one. 4. Awstats page takes forever to load comletely. 5. Sometimes the sites are inaccessible in toto. 6. Files not downloading through FTP (even 200K fails). The perplexing thing is I and my colleague have accessed the server from home (Triband and cable net respectively) and everything works! We don't know what the problem is, where it is, etc. Any ideas? -- Rohit V. Bhute http://rvbhute.org/

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Announce: November 2007 GLUG meet at HBCSE

Since, there's just one topic, this GLUG-meet I have a small suggestion. I repeat, *suggestion*. Pradeepto - Beginner's guide to Qt and/or KDE 3.5.8 demo? (superkaramba themes, icons etc.) OR Vihan - Getting started with GCC (The C, compiler) (Probably a series of GNU tools - GNU Nano, and so on) Ofcourse, this could be possible only if they have time (and if there's just enough time after the first presentation). :) Any comments? http://www.ubuntu-in.org

Ubuntu Studio.
by Rony 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hello All, The November issue of PC world has an ISO of Ubuntu Studio in its DVD. The DVD does not mount automatically in Ubuntu but in Debian4 it mounts as a numerical user and group 401. It can be accessed as root. The Ubuntu Studio iso is about 900 MB so a DVD will be required to burn it. Ubuntu Studio is basically the Ubuntu 7.04, power packed with multimedia applications. Installation is smooth but in between package installation, it takes long pauses to do something in the background (off the net) , so don't worry and let it go on. It will ask you for max. screen resolution and I could get 1280 x 1024 on my p4 2.4 + 845 desktop. When playing any media, it will seek plugins so simply say yes to let it search for them from the net and install automatically. Overall it is a nice distro for home and multimedia users. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

BIND problem
by Omkar Raut 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hi we run a redhat 9 machine(default install) which is used as DSN server. I am observing a problem with the bind service. BIND version= bind 9.2.1-16 It suddenly stops responding to the DNS queries once in 2-3 days. Previously we used to solve this problem by restarting the service, when it was happenning once in 1 or 2 weeks. But now we cannot restart bind service, it gives following error on 'service named restart': error => rndc: recv failed: operation canceled Moreover when I try 'service named status' there is no output and I have to manually kill this command by using Ctrl+C Any clues? Regards, Omkar.

Worked fine. Then tried win98SE as guest OS. failed miserably. just didnt go beyond setup. Then tried winxpsp2 and it installed ok.... Messed up my resolution even for ubuntu host. would not go beyond 640x480. Had to do a rebuild for xorg.conf and it restored the resolution. applications run fine. sound worked well. chose the OSS sound card. What has not worked yet is the LAN/internet through the guest OS. I like the "work seamlessly" feature in virtualbox. Still there are issues with the resolutions and its a pain to fiddle around each time with the resolutions to get a true full screen. but speed wise, it was fine. Guest 10 GB with 256 MB. Host original was 512 MB. Now trying to install QEMU on a 7.10 desktop edition AMD64.

As per my knowledge if you migrate to PHP5 from PHP 4 then you need to do changes in php.ini also. Unfotunately I dont remember exact changes but I had done this 3 months back for one of our PHP-Mysql application. I remember even some PHP4 functions dont work in PHP5. So need to convert those also. Regards NeeleshG *Operating systems are like underwear — nobody really wants to look at them. (Bill Joy)*

[Commercial] Why not enroll in FOSS India Awards?
by Niraj Sahay 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hi, Are you working on any free software or open source (FOSS) project? Do you know anyone who is? There's a great opportunity for all Indian FOSS contributors to showcase their work at the national level, and perhaps global too! Plus, the development team (or individual) can get a minimum cash prize of Rs 25,000! But, there's more to it than just cash prize. The winners will get exclusive coverage in LINUX For You magazine, and openITis.com (aka linuxforu.com). Which in turn could mean: (a) more media coverage for the project and its developers, (b) publicity amongst targeted customers, and (c) more contributors getting attracted to the project. Launched with an initial kitty of Rs 5 lakhs, the FOSS India Awards aim to recognise India's top 20 FOSS projects. The LINUX For You team is working with FOSII (Forum for Open Source Initiatives in India) on this venture. The registration for FOSS India Awards is FREE! All one has to do to register is to visit http://www.openitis.com/awards/ and fill in the two-minute form. Registration for FOSS India Awards is open till 15th December '07. The awards will be announced during Open Source India Week (aka LinuxAsia 2008) during the 2nd week of February '08. Please do forward this message to anyone whom you believe is working on a FOSS project, and is a good candidate. Let's prove to the World that India contributes to FOSS too... Best Wishes!

[Report] Etch-Kde Single CD Installation.
by Rony 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hello All, My Kubuntu 6.10 became painfully slow so I decided to trim it and a page on the web showed 3 ways to edit startup items. Rcconf, file-rc among them. File-rc conflicted with sysv-rc so I removed it and while doing so, waved goodbye to most of the main packages. So it was time for a re-load. Wanting to give Etch stable a try, a single CD KDE version ftp://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Linux/Debian/debian-cd/4.0_r1/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r1-i386-kde-CD-1.iso was downloaded from a Taiwan mirror using 'wget -c url'. I don't know if the site was the same or another one but it was Taiwanese and among the first 4 in the list. The system configuration is P4 2.4 Ghz., Intel 845 GEBV2, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB IDE HDD. Download after 10 pm India is good as Taiwan is sleeping by then. Installation was absolutely un-eventfull and smooth. Used default install instead of guiinstall at boot prompt. During the pre-install setup, it asks whether you want to install packages from the mirror so select 'No' if you want to reduce your MTNL Triband bill. It will still look for security mirrors and download about 50-60 MB of security updates. Video and sound was properly detected by default. The distro is packed with KDE utilities but does not have Open Office or KOffice and no CUPS. It comes with Iceweasel which is an avtar of Firefox. Since mirrors were not selected during install, the apt /etc/apt/sources.lst file was not having any repo entries except for security. There was no sudo package, so it was installed using apt-get. The /etc/sudoers file was edited using 'nano' since 'vi' gave problems. Then 'vim' was installed using apt-get. vi worked fine after that. These are done from the CD. Next, searched the net for apt sources and found a copy of someone's sources.lst for etch and copy pasted it. After an apt-get update, it was time to download other required packages. They are listed below. knemo - for network monitoring. adept - A lovely gui for apt. It helps in searching related packages other than the main namesake. cupsys, cups-pdf, cupsys-client, cupsys-common, cupsys drivers, printconf. Icedove - avtar of Thunderbird. Iceweasel and Icedove use default .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird folders in the user directory, so restoring backups is simply a copy and paste of the entire folders. Cups-pdf is a utility to add a system wide pdf printer. The HP Deskjet 610c printer was setup using a browser and entering localhost:631 as the url. The pdf printer was added by selecting 'Virtual Printer PDF' from the initial list. In the drivers list, select 'Raw Printer' and go ahead. By default, cups-pdf creates a folder called PDF in the home directory. It can be changed by editing the file /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf. Open Office is available as an older version in apt, so DON'T install it. Go to ftp://ftp.mirror.tw/pub/openoffice/stable/2.3.0/OOo_2.3.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz and download the file. Then untar it and you will get a DEBS folder full of .deb packages and a subfolder called Desktop Integration. Get into the DEBS folder and use 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb' to install all the deb packages. Then get into the Desktop Integration folder and install the last package using 'sudo dpkg -i package_name'. This is the smoothest and sexiest installation of Open Office in Linux. For running knemo, go to KMenu -> Control Center -> Internet & Network -> Network Monitor. Check the box that says 'Use knemo to monitor your interfaces'. Thats all for now. Things appear to be running smoothly. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux
