hi , i was just going through the schedule http://www.techfest.org/schedule.phpof IIT Bombay techfest and it mentions that lecture by Mark Shuttleworth is on Days of the fest i.e. 21st at 11 AM.

Does NVIDIA 128 MB RAM (Pine) AGP Card support 1280x1024 and play mpeg videos in X windows?
by Rishi 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hi I have a VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 86C326 5598/6326 (rev 0b) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) But I'm unable to play mpeg videos in 1280x1027 resolution. I need to change to 1024x768 resolution and then I am able to play videos I posted a message on the SiS forum here to get some help. http://www.winischhofer.at/sisforum/viewtopic.php?t=175 However, I'm assuming that it may not be possible. So therefore I wanted to know if I buy this video card: Pine, 128 MB NVIDIA AGP Card, FX model, that it would work on my Debian Sarge system - meaning get high resolution and play mpeg videos? Thanks Regards -- Rishi

Screen Goes Black after running X
by Linux Rocks 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hello Everyone; I have a problem running Debian on a Acer TravelMate 260 laptop: The system boots up and I can login in the command prompt and change to different screens (ctrl-alt-f1 to f7). But, Once I startx I CANNOT change screens. I know I can "kill" X by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace but when I do this the monitor just goes black and I cannot do anything else. The only choice I have here is to ctrl alt del and restart the system. I've done some searches in google but no help. I am running: kernel 2.6.15 on a Acer TravelMate 260 Laptop; 1Ghz over 200 Meg of ram Debian 3.0 Thanks in advance for your help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Luggers, I have kinda hit the roadblock trying to compile quickdc, a direct connect client.

Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

[OT] ARP Layer 2 or 3 ?
by Shahed Moolji 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

For all you networking gurus :- Is ARP considered to be a layer 2 or layer 3 protocol ? I googled, but I cant still seem to get a proper answer. Although I tend to agree that its a L3 protocol, it does not encapsulate a L3PDU on to the Data Link Layer, as its messages are put directly in the data part of the L2 frame. Or is it best defined as a L3 protocol without any header ? Thanks Shahed

Proxy with username/password for apt-get and Synaptic
by Sanket Medhi 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

We have a proxy server in our college which I am handling. Every machine in the college has to enter a username/password to get access to the internet. The only problem I am facing is that there is no way to configure apt-get and Synaptic for the proxy alongwith username/password. They just give an option of entering a proxy server entry, nothing for username/password. Is there anything to configure proxy with username/password in apt-get and Synaptic? (Actually, there is one I know but its unethical and insecure to be used on the local network.) -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.

Jan 14th meet report.
by Rony Bill 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hello All, The Jan 14th meet was held at five gardens from 4 pm to almost 7.30 pm. It was attended by 12 people and the concept of meeting in a public place like a garden had a good response. Dr. Nagarjun even suggested an idea of having a wireless access point network to make the gardens hot spots for people to come in the free open space with their laptops and do their work without any restriction of wires or walls. The topics covered in the discussions were, faxing in Linux and later on we had a very interesting talk by Dr. Nagarjun on free software. For the faxing solutions, Dr. Nagarjun, Anurag and Benoy spoke about their experiences with fax softwares and Hylafax was the clear choice for everyone. Then Dr. Nagarjun gave a very in depth talk on the Free Software Movement. He updated us on how the software patents bill would have killed software freedom in India and how it was withdrawn in the nick of time after a lot of interaction with the Govt. and political parties. He went on to tell us the difference between open source and free software and how open source did not necessarily mean free software. Please note that here free is freedom, not price. He has also suggested conducting a Linux installation workshop for hardware vendors in Mumbai so that they can get an actual hands on experience with linux. They can be invited to bring their own setup, without monitors, to the workshop and go back with a working linux system. Overall it was a good meet and I am sure all those present share this view.

Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu on 22nd Jan at 2PM
by Venkatesh Hariharan 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu will address the Mumbai ILUG on 22nd Jan at 2PM at the FC Kohli Auditorium, Kanwal Rekhi School of IT (KRESIT), IIT Bombay. You can read more about Mark here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth and about Ubuntu Linux here: http://www.ubuntu-linux.org/ For directions to KRESIT, see: Getting to IIT Bombay IIT Bombay is located in an area called Powai in the Central suburb called KanjurMarg in Mumbai. The best way of reaching there is by a combination of Road and Rail. Mumbai has two main suburban train tracks respectively called after the Central and Western Railways. The suburban trains of Mumbai are called 'local' trains. If you are on the Central Railway, get down at Kanjurmarg or Vikhroli and take an auto to IIT. The auto will take around Rs. 10 - 15. To board any of the buses, you'll have to walk slightly till a bus stop on the main L.B.S.Road and take any Andheri/Borivali bound bus. The fare is around Rs. 3. If you are coming from the Western Railways, get down at Andheri and take any of the buses going to Mulund from the eastern side of the railway station. The fare would be roughly Rs. 6. Alternatively, you could take an auto which will take around Rs. 45 to IIT. Getting to KReSIT within IIT The new KReSIT building is now fully operational - one of the most impressive structures in the IIT-Bombay campus! The KReSIT building is the first big structure one comes across when entering IIT. Approximately a 5 minute walk from the Main Gate, it is situated on the right side of the road after Hostel 10 and the wide road going right to the Y-Point gate. It is equally close to the Y-Point gate; turn right after entering the Campus, and take the first left where you will see the Central School Ground. Continue walking and enter the second gate on the right. You can see the white and blue KReSIT building right away! Note that the building is not connected to the long corridor that links all the department building. Important landmarks close-by * Hostel-10 * Computer Center * SJM School of Management (in case you drift too far) A map of the campus is at: http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/contacts/visitors/ See you all at IIT Bombay on 22nd at 2PM.

by Anurag 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

*Minutes of January GLUG-Meet @ Five Gardens* The GNU/Linux Users Group of Mumbai held its January GLUG meet on 14th January 2006 at Five Gardens, Matunga. This meet was attended by about 15 people coming from all over the city and far suburbs. This meet was much more interactive and more issues were discussed than it would have been possible in a classroom like environment. Following discussions were held. --- tea break :-) * Miscllaneous problems/solutions related to FAX/multimedia/desktop. * Pradeepto demoed the KDE india T-Shirt logo and was wondering wether the swirls in tricolor were voilating the national flag code. --- tea break :-) * GPLv3 and its implications on software developers and users. Why patenting of software is a so dangerous and how it kills innovation. * Rony Bill raised some of the issues faced by hardware vendors while providing service to customers. The biggest problem faced by vendors is lack of person who are ready to experiment with something new. The Mumbai GLUG plans to conduct awareness workshops especially suited to hardware vendors/retailers, cyber cafe operators, jr-college students etc. Please get in touch with the list if you can help us in any respect. ---- *Details of next GLUG meet* Date: 12 February 2006 -> Agenda : to be decided -> Location: Some garden at another location. * Pictures: Pictures taken in this meet would be posted on ILUG-BOM picture gallery ``http://db.ilug-bom.org.in/pics/'' as soon as they are transfered to comp. * Upcoming Events: Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu/Canonical will address the Mumbai GLUG on 22nd Jan at 2PM. The venue is most likely to be IIT Bombay. Interested people can keep checking the homepage or mailing list for more details. Anurag -- __ __ gnu /noo/ n. Ox like antelope; (abbr.) /gnoo/ n.
