Alinux aka Peanut Linux
by Gaurav Mishra 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

aLinux is a new name of what was until recently known as Peanut Linux. The originally small distribution has grown large and "Peanut isn't a Peanut no-more, it's evolved into something, well, larger, a watermelon... Of course it will be the same, just a different name. Changes in aLinux 12.2 are mainly xitami rebuilt, mimes added to that, and mplayer-plug, 'apt' updated to name change. RPM updated to now show a vendor, this can be over ridden in /usr/lib/rpm/macros; as well as email address. Updated RPMs popt from 1.8.1 - 1.9.1 I believe. Some other stuff updated, can't remember it all... oh yeah, kdenetwork, updated to support wireless networking... umm... think brain think... lol... Kay and I may have added some other wallpapers...." Check out http://alinux.org/

To some extent this is possible, but there is currently no tool AFAIK that does a cross-platform build for Python. You will find the same question discussed on comp.lang.python - http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/ search?q=py2exe+linux There are instructions to get it done using Wine and the minimal number of windows DLLs at http://grossac.org/python_eng.html Without a proper Windows environment, I doubt you'll be able to do this with a complex project that has many dependencies - especially GUI libraries etc. Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

Pacenet-india PPPoE Connection
by Revant 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

I'll try to provide all info. So that experts can help me solve the connection problem 1) I'm using ubuntu 4.10 http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ debian based distro 2) the command default in debian me@ubuntu:~ $ pppoe-discovery Access-Concentrator: net9 Service-Name: net9 Got a cookie: 53 dd 47 9e 6e 39 bc 33 97 a5 11 60 e2 17 71 f2 fc 04 00 00 AC-Ethernet-Address: 00:0c:f1:fc:e6:ef -------------------------------------------------- Access-Concentrator: net9online Service-Name: cable AC-Ethernet-Address: 00:01:0a:11:44:34 -------------------------------------------------- 3)adsl-start error -> pd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 ing interface ppp0 nnect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 mote message: Login incorrect nnection terminated. flush failed: Input/output error it. pd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 ing interface ppp0 nnect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 mote message: Login incorrect nnection terminated. it. 4) username used to connect I tried to connect with both types of usernames. user and user@linuxuser both 5) kernel mode / Normal Mode pppoe connection method -> i dont know how to find this out? 6) tools used to configure pppoe first i used pppoeconf then adsl-setup then edited the pppoe.conf for a-c and service-name Social and Real world : My ISP cable guy has his router setup in such a way that i can auth the net from web browser http:// 172.50.1.1 but it fails 1/4th of the time. So on windows xp their so called "engineer" gave me the pacenet dialer and connected me to internet with 1) my username 2) A-C was "net9online" and "service-name" was cable I called pacenet-call centre and they said they cannot create @linuxuser for me as i use 25kbps plan. I think connection must work on linux because it works on windows, I guess the problem might be in these 2 things 1) it sometimes connects with PAP and sometimes CHAP and both methods fail to authenticate, what should i use to connect to server, and how? 2) Problem might also be in kernel or normal mode pppoe , because i dont know the difference Now I'm on linux and connected to internet by the router way http://172.50.1.1 , but can't hold it for 24*7

Nobody in MTNL (or the other ISPs) will have a clue when you say Linux. They will tell u point blank that it wont work, which is total rubbish.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] GID?UID problem
by Suraj Jacob 22 Mar '05

22 Mar '05

Hi friends, I also had a similar problem, but mine is when I wrote a plugin for proftp to execute any command on a remote machine...Proftp is running as root, and sets the ownership and privileges of the user requesting the execution. However, when it runs a shell script (or anything that forks a terminal, the program run under it gets executed as root. the temporary workaround I found for it is to su into user to a terminal, and run the command...something like: su <user.group> -c "<command>" but again, it is not a good solution, it forks 2 terminals instead of 1. Is there a better way to set the ownership of the user on a shell script when executed by a user?

A more educative method is to enable debug in your /etc/ppp/options file bye uncommenting the line # debug and by adding this line to the file kdebug 4 then on a terminal do tail -f /var/log/debug then start your connection and observe the log. rgds jtd
