[OT] DNS,google and MTNL triband
by Mohan Nayaka 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hi all, Of late, I have noticed that MTNL's DNS servers 203.94.227.70 and 203.94.243.70 are unresponsive from time to time. Also google and google related sites (gmail,orkut,etc.) open very sluggishly. Has anyone here experienced this? Does anyone know any DNS servers better than MTNL's? Regards, Mohan S N -- The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles

Firefox blocked?
by Satish Alwani 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Thats almost like saying, PVR's should be banned as users have the ability to forward through them and skip advertisements. Or other channels must be banned, so if you are watching serial XYZ on channel ABC, you must continue to watch it including the ads and not skip it. However, you look at it, if you try to block users, people will just drive traffic away from that site as it is no longer considered as "compliant". Compliancy states that there must be a norm which all users have equal and open access. Give it time, I'm sure someone in the US will sue the website owner on the grounds of non compliance, or inaccessible information, or something similar where you are being biased. If you want to see something stupid, visit hdfcbank.com and check out netsafe and then login. It says IE as minimum requirements. Honestly I dont see the reason for this, but yet its there. According to this, if you use Internet Explorer, you should use a netsafe card, but at the same time you need IE ? See a pattern of stupidity? Its like if you want to use the site, dont use a browser thats safe, however, you should use a netsafe card if you want to be safe. Anyways, if there are any other sites that stop you, you could just simply change the user agent in about:config. What are they going to do next? Block Internet Explorer?.. hehe Regards, Satish

Commercial Requirment
by Manvinder sandhu 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

About Myself: I am working for a Networking Consulting company and have 10+ years of expereince in implementing Cisco technologies. Based on my industry experience I wanted to develop a customized helpdesk package.I only have the workflow idea but no developer experience, for which I thought I would put this up in the online forum and see if I could get any affordable help. Project Explaination I have an idea to integrate open source software to develop an helpdesk system. This help desk system will have different components like Network monitoring, Trouble Ticketing System, Network Mapping, Authentication etc. I have indentified a few open source softwares that can do the job, but they are not integrated. I would like to integrate them with few ideas of my own. To start with I am looking at developer who is an expert in PYTHON, MYSQL, Linux and a bit of internetworking knowledge. Knowledge of PHP, Zope would be an added advantage. If interested please contact me offline and we can discuss the project and commercials in detail. My Cell is +91 9967337699 Manvinder

I don't prefer it but I had to repeat my question,so here goes: For using OpenDNS,should we use the instructions for Linux/Unix or for routers since the desktop is basically a machine on the private network while the router is the one which handles DNS addresses? Regards, Easwar

installed openoffice rpms with alien for total disaster.
by krishnakant Mane 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

hello, has some one faced this? I downloaded openoffice 2.2.1 as suggested on this list and then uncompressed it into a folder and then installed it with the following command. alien -i *.rpm. I did this after going into the RPMS sub directory of the main open office directory. I did not get any errors, just a warning that scripts are not being installed, use --script option for correcting this. I did it again and this time no problem. first I did alien -r *.rpm and then the first -i command along with --script. this time no errors and no warnings. but surprise! I don't have any thing in my applications/ office menu except evolution. I tried finding hard and eventually got /opt/openoffice2.2.1 and in the programs sub directory I found swriter, scalc etc. I can run them all right but now I can't create a shortcut in the office menu nor on the desktop. what should I do. did I install this in the wrong way? again my command was alien -i --script *.rpm. please correct me if I am wrong. regards, Krishnakant.

It had options of Dell 1390 wifi card or Intel 3945. I took Intel card as I had heard about problems with dell wifi card . Also it has Nvidia 8400 graphics card. I installed fedora 7 on it. The graphical install did not work, nor did the installer recognise my dvd drive. So I performed a text based install from USB HDD which had images for Fedora 7 DVD. After installing , it booted to runlevel 3 . where I set xorg driver to vesa and got GUI. Then I installed nvidia drivers from livna.org . All worked fine except the dvd drive and intel wifi card. So I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.22_41 and dvd drive is now working. I have also got wireless working with dkms-ipw3945 drivers from Freshrpms. So I have pretty much all setup on this lappy including the sound and integrated webcam, if anyone wants any more notes , or if anyone's planning to buy these dell laptops I would say its really safe to get these coz pretty much everything works. -- The Future is Open...The Future is LINUX Linux aniket.myftp.org 2.6.22-41.fc7 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Fedora 7

Linux Compatible Laptop
by Rony Bill 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Dear All, Today at a client's place I had set up a wireless router and tried Ubuntu 7.04 live CD on his Dell XPS M1210 lappy. It not only gave the usual laptop grade Desktop with sound but I clicked on a network icon with a cross on the task bar and it showed the surrounding wireless network. On clicking it I got the interface to enter the 128 bit key and my net was up and running. Bang out of the box. Thanks to the preloaded Vista, the customer will himself download the CD iso from Ubuntu. The wireless network card in the lappy is some Intel one.

funny characters on cli login
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi, I'm using Kubuntu feisty. For some reason, I cannot login to the gui because, /dev/null is created w/ 600 perms. And yes the relevant line in /etc/udev.d/rules does mention /dev/null having 666 perms. Supposedly this is a problem w/ udev. My workaround at the moment is to hit ctrl-alt-f2, login, chmod /dev/null, ctrl-alt-f7 and then I can login to the gui. This needs to be done at every boot. I have 'cn' aliased to sudo chmod 666 /dev/null. Saves some typing :). Now to come to my problem. I inadvertantly hit ctrl-n at the prompt and now the login prompt at the cli is displayed in weird characters. It's like when you type something in wordprocessor and then change to font to wingdings or something. How do I get my normal login prompt back ? many thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri.
