This is not available in linux as far I know. So the dialer gave some weird registry errors last time I tried in wine. The only way to get online with Pacenet in linux is to get an "@linuxuser" account and use rp-pppoe. I have been using it for more than a year and it works flawlessly. Also I wanted to know one thing...24Online client uses pppoe or what? I mean do you get a global IP address when you connect from 24Online clients or is it LAN based like Sify.

2 virtual hosts in apache2
by Arun K. Khan 08 May '06

08 May '06

Using SuSE 10.0, Apache 2.0.54. Looked through the Apache online manual on setting up virtual hosts and created a vhosts.conf file - mostly copy/paste from a template (see listing below). I have also set up bind on my LAN to resolve both "genesis" (IN A 192.168.1.65) and "linux-install" (IN CNAME genesis). I restarted apache and bind daemons after changes to their respective files. http://genesis works fine and shows index.html in "/home/www/html" but ... http://linux-install shows the same index.html as above instead of the directory listing of the Linux distribution tree I have installed @ /mnt/C. I have tried replacing * with IP# but same result. Defining "linux-install" as A record - same result. Any ideas/suggestions on could be missing in my setup? ================== begin vhosts.conf ================== NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName genesis.silverarc.biz ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot /home/www/html/ ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/genesis-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/genesis-access_log combined HostnameLookups Off UseCanonicalName Off ServerSignature On <Directory "/home/www/html/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName linux-install.silverarc.biz ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot /mnt/C ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/linux-install-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/linux-install-access_log combined HostnameLookups Off UseCanonicalName Off ServerSignature On <Directory "/mnt/C"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> ================== end vhosts.conf ================== Thanks. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside

[OT] Wah MTNL wah ILUG-BOM
by ronbillypop＠yahoo.co.uk 08 May '06

08 May '06

Hello all, This is one example to show that MTNL has improved its CC and how this list helped me in solving a problem. Today I was at a client's place where I was installing a second hand pc (W 98) The pc had a usb port only so the driver was loaded but come what may, no sites would open as dns would not resolve. The client uses a voip box independently connected to the adsl's etherner port. Acording to the client the net was running till the old pc conked off a few months ago. So I reinsatlled the drivers, tried everything possible to get the usb net working. The ethernet side was working as he could make international calls. Finally after more than a hour, I called up mtnl's CC. He asked me to check various settings till we came to WAN settings. There I was surprised to see the connection type was 'bridged'. I asked the CC if it should be PPPoE and he agreed. The user_name/passwd was added and the net was up and running. But now the voip stopped working. >From this list I had read about bridging and using pppoe in the comp. itself. So the raspppoe drivers were downloaded and installed. The adsl was again set to bridged mode and the 'raspppoe' command was run. It searched for available servers and I selected the first one and created a dialup connection. The user_name and passwd were added and now the net as well as voip box is usable. The NDIS patch too was downloaded to enable smooth operation in 98. All this was possible thanks to this list and its informative discussions.

FOSS Documentary on BBC World
by Francis 07 May '06

07 May '06

Hey All , I think many of us would be intrusted in watching this Documentary on BBC world **The Code Breakers** Microsoft has dominated the world of computing for many years, with its heavily guarded 'code' being beyond reach to many in the developing nations. In some of the poorest countries the cost of upgrading an operating system to keep up with the rest o fthe world amounts to a year's wages, and there are few legitimate options. In Thailand for example, 95 percent of software on computers is pirated. The poorest countries are now beginning to use free or open source software (FOSS), a software that parallels many of Microsoft's programmes but with the major difference being that they are distributed free of charge and can be altered by computer programmers who are allowed unfettered access to the 'source code'. In this two-part documentary, Code Breakers includes stories and interviews from around the world where FOSS is making an impact, from disaster management in Sri Lanka to tortoise breeding programmes in the Galapagos.

Kernel compilation with grub.
by ronbillypop＠yahoo.co.uk 07 May '06

07 May '06

Hello All, I just compiled the latest kernel 2.6.16.11 from source and its created a vmlinuz-2.6.16.11 file along with a link vmlinux in the /boot folder. Since 'make bzImage' only creates a kernel image, the 'make install' was used finally to get it into the boot folder for grub. In grub's menu.lst, I configured the kernel as /boot/vmlinuz and root=/dev/hdan where n is my partition and its the same entry as in my existing kernel entry. The image entry is #shed as there was no img created. When I boot into the new kernel, after a series of initial text, it gives a kernel panic at the root= entry. Its the same as before so why can't it mount the VFS on that partition? It cannot recognise hdan. (n is a number) Any clues?

I am from same area. I have setup my pacenet connection in fedora. They use pppoe. You have to call them up and tell them that you want to use linux. They will give a new username like "yourusername@linuxuser" Then you can login using Rp-PPPOE from the new ID. BTW Ubuntu has pppoe builtin I think , so once you get your new usename just issue command "pppoeconf" as root and it guides you through a wizard. I was never able to connect from Ubuntu though as it kept on giving errors regarding maximum MTU/MRU. I didnt try later in Ubuntu but I think an MTU of 1412 will do it. -- The Future is Open...The Future is LINUX

[OT] Hosting a Web server with MTNL Triband connection
by Antriksh Bajaj 05 May '06

05 May '06

Hi, I have an MTNL Triband connection (DSL 590 NU) with a D-Link 502T ADSL Router. I want to host a web server on my PC. I am using Apache as the web server software. The index page loads without any problem with the loopback address(127.0.0 1) and the local address assigned by the router(192.168.1.2). But when I try to access the index page with the actual IP address (59.176.x x) it shows up the Router's configuration page but not the index page. I have also tried doing the Port Forwarding or setting up a Virtual Server for port no. 80 but still it doesn't works. The router uses DHCP for assigning IP addresses and theseare the ATM settings: PVC - Pvc0 VPI - 0 VCI - 32 Virtual Circuit - Enabled WAN Setting - PPPoE/PPPoA Any help or clues ? Regards, Antriksh

[OT] Unlimited broadband
by Dinesh Joshi 04 May '06

04 May '06

Hi, It seems that BSNL has launched an unlimited 256Kbps connection(http://bsnl.co.in/newsdetailed.php?news_id=296). The cost is 900 bucks a month and it includes a landline at zero rental. MTNL has also launched its version of unlimited 256Kbps connection at 1399 bucks a month. Unlimited connection mean no caps on data or time and an always on connection. Now why are the Mumbai subscribers being left behind? Hopefully they should be launching an unlimited scheme soon. Anyway, the reason for this post is that I see many people using MTNL Triband connections. I was wondering if they could give me some heads up on the quality of Triband. I have heard that their upside is that they good speeds & uptime but their down side is pathetic customer care. Is that correct? On a 256K connection do you guys get constant 30-32KBps speeds or do they drop? Is anyone using Airtel DSL? They have a similar scheme and are probably launching in our area in about a month or so. But I've seen that the general opinion about airtel is that they have good CC & availability but bad speeds. For me, availability, speeds matter a lot. CC comes later but I surely dont want to run to the Prabhadevi exchange everytime something goes wrong with my connection / router. I simply dont have the time or inclination to visit their exchanges. What say you guys? Any good / bad experiences? Tips? Please let me know. -- Dinesh A. Joshi

Oh, I forgot to mention this! They also give you a free email account (4 MB). The interface of this is pretty simple, clean and soothing. It took two weeks for TRIBAND to be activated for me , after registration. I have been using since October 2005, and its really good. Installation charges are 500 - one time installment (for router) 300 - DSL testing and installation (in the first month's bill). One the LINE is ready for TRIBAND, they call up and inform that they are testing for ADSL line, and then send a person who would get along the ADSL router and configure the internet! __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I get speeds of 25 KB/sec - 30 KB/sec most of the times. For a few downloads, at times, it runs down to 16 KB/sec. >What say you guys? Any good / bad experiences? Tips? > Please let me know. I have heard of their customer service as "bad" and claims are made that they have absolutely "NO knowledge" about GNU/Linux! That is true! But I have heard of bad experiences of triband users from the western suburbs of Mumbai (Khar, Santacruz; for example) But I suppose, it shouldn't be difficult to configure the LAN card in GNU/Linux or leave it to DHCP! In my experience of customer service, I faced a problem once of not being able to open any website due to a faulty PVC connection, it was solved pretty systematcially over 1504. I was using Firefox to do the configurations, and to my suprise, the lady on the other side of the phone, knew what "Firefox" is! (wow!).

RHCE papers leaking..
by Mrugesh Karnik 03 May '06

03 May '06

Hi, I am a member of a certain Yahoo Group called LinuxVadapav. (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LinuxVadapav/). Yesterday (or maybe the day before), one of the members posted the entire RHCE examination paper to the group. Take a look at this: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linuxvadapav/message/1369 This kind of activity is very damaging. This is not just an issue of someone posting the paper on the internet, but I know of 'institutes' where students are given the paper to study before they give the exam. This degrades the value of the certificate and should be stopped. I hope people on this list take notice of this. I wonder if any Red Hat people are around. -- ---------------------------------------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net ----------------------------------------

3D Rendering Drivers.
by ronbillypop＠yahoo.co.uk 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hello All, At the linux meet at HBCSE Rajeev had given a very nice demo of the new display drivers of linux that are well suited for 3D rendering. One application demonstrated was a 3D file browser that works like a walk through into a room with files and folders shaped like 3D objects. This type of 3D walk through has tremendous potential for corporate films and demos. Future operating manuals for electronic equipment could also be in 3D form. One important potential for this is in the shopping mall industry. Instead of visitng a crowded mall, getting trolleys entangled and walking for a few hours, an exact replica of the mall can be made available to the customers in the form of a CD or DVD depending on the content size. The mall walk through will have features like virtually removing the product from its shelf and turning it around to examine it. A more advanced feature may also allow the virtual shopper to open the jars or boxes and see the actual content inside, something the mall will not allow otherwise. The software can be made available as a direct installation or to make it platform independent and live, it can be made into a live linux distro that does not do anything except detect minimum hw like kb, mouse, usb and concentrates fully on providing the maxiimum video and sound drivers and the actual application that will run live. No desktop or any normal os features or services or packages. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Switch an email account to Yahoo!

GLUG NITH: some help & advice
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hi, The GNU/Linux Users Group of National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur is now accessible at http://www.glug-nith.org/. It is still early days and a lot of things are left to be done. One thing we have not yet put is a copyright notice. Since we have taken a few sentences here and there from Wikipedia and http://www.gnu.org/, would that be an infringement of copyright? Or do we need to give Wikipedia's name in the credit and mention that they hold the rights. Secondly, will it be ok to distribute RHEL ISOs on the site? It is our understanding that since Linux is GPL'ed it should not be a problem, although Redhat's support would not be available. Are we correct? Bye, Debarshi

> Umm...shouldn't that be 4000? Servers are generally > created on a fixed > port. Thats why they are called servers... Ah, I had tried this earlier, and had made a check, with netstat -a, command to find out whether this was available. But, then, it did not create a server. Tried, this today again, and now it does, create a server on port 4000, but still takes around 7-8 minutes. > Umm...isn't that kinda obvious. If you start it at > port 0, it will take > a long time to determine a free port. The reason, I used port 0 is because, I could get the server started on 4000 and Redhat did not make it visible to me whether it had bound some application to that port. Port 0 ultimately, gave a choice to the OS to find out port for me :) > And eewwww...you should've mentioned that you're > doing this in Java...
