Workshops for Awareness
by Roshan 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Kind Attn: Rony Sir I had made a request earlier for a Seminar on GNU/Linux and got a good response for the same. Novell India's Employee decided to conduct but due to some time constraints, it could go further. Recently, I read the minutes of the past meeting, and found that GLUG MUMBAI plans to conduct workshops for awareness. I study in S. K. Somaiya College of Arts, Science and Commerce pursuing Third Year BSc (I. T.). We have department of I.T. and Computer Science and a few students would be interested to know about GNU/Linux. Kindly inform me how does GLUG plans to go about this and what I am supposed to be doing and who to be in touch with. _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 If there's anything that you want to ask about related to computers and information technology email me at any of the following addresses 1) d_rosh2001(a)yahoo.co.in I think I should be able to help you If you don't know something, its always better to learn it and then experiment with components!

How to IM from behind a SQUID proxy on a GNU/Linux box? Here is a solution...
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

How many times have we heard people complaining that its difficult to use IM services like Yahoo!, MSN, Google Talk, etc. on a GNU/Linux box, from behind a proxy? In fact, I asked the same question at the GLUG meeting held on 22 January. Well for those who are still scratching their heads in search of a solution, here are a few of them: 1. http://www.e-messenger.net: The worst of the lot. It allows you to IM through a web interface. As far as I recall, the chat room facility is still not available. 2. https://gtalkr.com: Its beauty is definitely unquestionable but beauty does come with its 'nakhra' (tantrums) as well. Flash player is required, and although its much quicker than the e-messenger, its not as fast as having the client on your machine. On Mozilla Firefox it keeps on asking to install Flash Player 8, even after downloading and installing it. :-( Moreover its only for Google Talk. 3. http://www.meebo.com: The most efficient of the lot. Although voice is absent on Google Talk, and the thing is still in the alpha stage, this is the best option in my opinion. So go on and convert those friends of yours (I have a few) who were complaining about IMing on GNU/Linux into the world of freedom. After all the best things in the world are free!

Debian v/s CentOS & RAID 1
by Abhishek Daga 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi, Looking for some advice here especially practical ones faced. Situation: Have to start converting many servers (Rack mounted) from Rh 7.3 to either FreeBSD or Debian. Now someone did some name dropping and CentOS was added to the list. The machines will have hardware RAID level 1 and 250 GB Hard Drives and 3.0 Ghz processors and 1-2 GB RAM. The advice sought is, 1) Which OS to go for ofcourse keeping in mind that there can be compatibility issues with the hardware for RAID. Any combination (specific models) known to work without a hitch? I am leaning towards Debian assuming the freeBSD 5.4 may have greater compatibility issues with the hardware. Am I right? 2) Instead of 250 GB sata drives, should be have smaller drives? Or, in other words, does the 250 GB drive inhibit performance? 3) Idea about costs? thank you. *********************************************************************** According to the theory of aerodynamics, a bumble bee cannot fly.

MySql server on RHEL AS 3.
by Nadeem M. Khan 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

Dear all, When I try to start mysqld by service mysqld start, I get "mysqld: unrecognized service". I selected "Everything" during the RHEL installation, so all packaged must have been installed. When I do the same on RH9, mysqld starts successfully and I get the mysql shell. I also tried this on RHEL 4, but get the same error as on RHEL 3. I did a locate mysql and found lots of files containing "mysql", but nothing called "mysqld". Is there an issue with RHEL and the mysql server? Do I have to install it separately? Regards, NMK. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Never put off till run-time what you can do at compile-time. -- D. Gries

I would be grateful if somebody can suggest me a solution. Manish

Experiment 3310
by Puneet Lakhina 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hi, i have a sort of in barely in working condition nokia 3310 with me that I am not using. So i was thinking if i can perform any Linux related experiments on it like porting a bare minimum version of kernel on it. Selling it wont fetch anything that the experiment might teach me. So if u guys have any suggestion, criticisms (knowing the list, these will be a fare share ;-) ) please shoot them. And if anybody has a bit of spare time on weekends.. we can collaborate as i have no experience in stuff like device drivers and kernel hacking. thanks -- Puneet

[OT] porting/developing an app for a set-top box
by Pankaj Dekate 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi all, Anyone in the group has an idea of porting an app to a set-top box running OS-20 on STM chipset. Or if anyone has ported/developed an app for any set-top box would also suffice. 1)Basically I would like to have a general idea of the development environment used.the SDK's used? 2)How is an app loaded on the set-top box? 3) Are the SDK's available for linux/windows? 4) Is localization possible for such embedded apps? I tried googling for info on OS-20 and STM chipset but could not get hands on much info. With warm regards, Pankaj

CLI <> GUI Problem solved
by Rony Bill 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hello All, I was trying out a game (on M$) that did not work on my client's pc. Ininitally it had a display problem as my resol. was 1072 x 768. So I went to the BIOS and just for kicks, increased the display frame buffer from 1MB to 8MB for my on board video. That helped me in playing the game at high resol. Then I booted into Kubuntu 5.10 and I was able to shuttle back and forth between CLI ( ctrl+alt+F1) and GUI with ease and no hanging or eratic display problem as before. :) Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ NEW Yahoo!

I managed to get a SanDisk cf wi-fi card. I finally got the wi-fi card working with a little help from google. The light in the card goes blink-blink so I know its working. Now I want to connect my zaurus to my linux box over wi-fi. On the zaurus the wi-fi card has a ip of 192.168.129.203. I have tried to ping 192.168.129.202 (ip of eth1) fromthe zaurus but am unable to do so. Trying to ping the ip of the zaurus from the linux box gives an error saying detination host unreachable. The lights on the wi-fi card ligt up when I try to ping the zaurus. What do I need to do ? some pointers please. I can of course provide any more info required. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R.

bug in Nautilius ?
by Mohan Nayaka 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

I thought I'd confirm with seniors here before filing a new bug in Nautilius. I took a 8-sec avi format video in today's session by Mark S at IIT. I tried to check its size via right-click->Properties in File Browser. Result: The window closed & opened my home folder again. Notes: The file was in my home folder. I moved it to a subdir & tried same action. The result was the same i.e. a new file browser opened again with my home folder. I have opened the file under the other evil OS & hence it is not corrupted. The file is attached. Regards, Mohan S N
