[ILUG-BOM] [Commercial] OpenVPN setup & contract PHP-MySQL person needed
by Clinton Goveas 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hi, We have the following urgent requirements: 1. We are looking for someone who can setup an OpenVPN based setup. 2. We are also looking for someone who can suggest & setup an easy to use (PHP+MySQL)-based CMS on our client's intranet. We are currently thinking of Mambo CMS, as it has a WYSIWYG editor, and our client would find it easy to use due to that, but we are open to suggestions of better CMS(s). Please get back to me on clintong(a)ajax.co.in with your contact details & rates. Best wishes, Clinton Goveas :: Project Manager Ajax Knowledge Systems -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Dear Nadiem, The issue is that Redhat 9 which U are using .... When Redhat 9.0 was released the 845 chipset was very fresh and support was not present properly ..... Just as Redhat 7.0 did not supported 810E chipset onboard sound card ... the sound was fast forwarded Redhat 7.2 came with proper driver So in Ur case better try some latest rpm for the sound driver Or better even try Fedora Core.... If using 9.0 is too important try using new driver for it Hope I am of some help.............. Regards, Shailesh ===== Technology is driving Me CRAZIER .... But Who said I Want To Be SANE !!!!

Fat32 to ext3
by Sujeet Bhatt 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

I want to convert a Fat32 partition on my hard disk (/dev/hda6) to ext 3. Based on some googling, I propose to do the following: 1. Move all data from the Fat 32 partition to another machine on the network. 2. As root issue mkfs -j /dev/hda6 Questions: Am I on the right track? Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of? What changes do I need to make in /etc/fstab? The current entry for this partition is: /dev/hda6 /mnt/win_d vfat defaults 0 0 I am running Fedora Core 3 on /dev/hda8 with a /boot partition on /dev/hda5 and a swap on /dev/hda7. As you may have guessed, /dev/hda6 was the D drive from a previous (now scrapped) installation of Windows. /dev/hda1 (the original Windows C drive) is now a ReiserFS partition waiting to have Suse 9.2 installed as soon as I have the DVD iso downloaded (wget -c is busy working in the background as we speak). Thanks in advance for any advice. - Sujeet -- I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up. -- Mark Twain, "The Innocents Abroad" * TagZilla 0.057 * http://tagzilla.mozdev.org

Cannot change volume in mp3blaster or Xine
by Nadiem 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Getting straight to the point... I have installed the TUI mp3 player called mp3blaster. I am having two problems with it: 1> It plays music too fast. 2> It does not let me increase/decrease the volume. Same applies to the Xine media player. I cannot even change the volume from the Gnome volume controller. (Or for that matter any other WM's volume controller.) I am using RH9. The thing it, this machine has the Intel 845 GL chipset. That apparently seems to be the problem. I have another machine which uses the Intel 810 chipset and everything works fine there. Has anyone else experienced the same issues? I tried googling for it, but couldn't find any useful information. Any help/URL would be appreciated. Regards, Nadiem. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

[Tip of the day] Sigdashes
by Philip Tellis 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Sigdashes are a (de facto) way of specifying where your mail ends and your signature starts. They're pretty cool, because smart mailers and newsreaders can do funky things when they notice sigdashes. For example, many mail clients will strip off old signatures when replying to mails. This is a Good Thing, because, hey, just one signature per mail ya? Many mail clients, like mutt, can display signatures in a different colour or font. So, what /are/ sigdashes? The character sequence "dash dash space" on a line by themselves are collectively known as sigdashes. It looks something like this (without the quotes): "-- " Configuring your mail client to use sigdashes: Pine: Setup | Config - Composer Preferences | Enable Sigdashes - Reply Preferences | Strip From sigdashes in reply Mutt: (sigdashes on by default) in .muttrc, add set sig_dashes=yes unless it's set to "no" in /etc/Muttrc or ~/.muttrc, you do not need to do anything. Thunderbird (via TagZilla): In the TagZilla | Formatting screen, set Tagline Prefix to (without quotes) "\n-- \n" Thunderbird (no TagZilla) / Evolution / Web based mail: Include the sigdashes line as the first line of your signature file/text. Kmail / Outlook Express: (No idea) Go forth and spread the good news. -- You mean you didn't *know* she was off making lots of little phone companies?

Network settings (home network)
by Vickram Crishna 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

Please advise: Network settings enables the same hardware device to be configured in different ways, so for instance I can apparently set it to detect network settings automatically (so it takes the settings from the ISP's server using DHCP, just as I already do now) and also manually set it to a local address (say for instance 10.0.0.1, 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.1). These can be identified as eth0 and eth1, both referring to the same network card. My questions are based on: if both settings are activated simultaneously, can I use this feature to connect to the Net on one and connect to a local network with the other? If the machine is connected to the Net using a hub, can I then use the machine to act as a local mail server (ie, pick up my mail from my various POP addresses and hold them for local distribution when the other local machine(s) are switched on)? I presume such mail servers (qmail, etc) can also be configured to trash spam and viruses, just as clients do. And what about browsing? Is this what is meant by proxy? Can the box also act as a firewall and virus trap for browsing, using a suitable app? Guidance much appreciated. -- Vickram

Guys, I accidentally issued the command: chmod 01777 / One of the consequences seeems to be that my /var/spool/mail directory is zero bytes - I am unable to send a test mail to myself.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Availability of cheap linux CD's
by Ninad 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

Hi I mentioned 'cheap' in my subject line because this is the way I have found it advertised on sites and infact discovered a site which provided for the same. unfortunately this site has stopped distributing cheap cd's. I would not mind paying a reasonable amount for a linux CD. My first mainstream distro Slack 8.0 which I used way back in 2002 was ordered from GT systems the 4 cd pack it cost me around Rs.2800/-. In the current scenario one can download the files (on a fast connection) and burn the CD and make them available at an affordable cost. This will enhance the spread of linux in India. Even many a times in this list someone asks for some distro cds there are hardly any replies. Anyone with relevant links please post it here. Thanks Ninad

Thunderbird
by Rony Bill 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

Dear Friends, The Mozilla Thunderbird email client really rocks. I downloaded the windows as well as the linux version and both install and work fine. The win version directly imported all my settings, mail and addresses from OE. It is a tough competition for OE in terms of features (security issues aside). The linux version does not import from other than mozilla. It does not recognise evolution. But there were 2 important features that this has and were lacking in evolution. One was that there was no clipboard interface (copy/cut/paste) in the messages in evolution so messages could not be transferred to other text editors but it is full functional in thunderbird. Another is *****It Prints***** messages. It needed a little tweak and print quality is not so good, but atleast now I can get hard copies. Taste the Thunder. www.mozilla.org Regards, Rony.

You may kickstart your Linux Installation by configuring your 1st machine as a NFS server and make the directories from the installation CDs available to the client (old machine) in the /etc/exports. If you do not have the floppy drive on the client you mave have to copy and mount the boot image as well from the server.

The other day I was checking out the footpath CD sellers near Churchgate and I found that they were selling Linux as well!!. They charge approx 50 bucks per CD. So if FC2 has 3 CDs they charge 150 bucks. And there is room for bargaining I guess. You might try this option....

Dear All If I run a "find option(s) -exec cmd {} \;" it executes a single command successfully. But if I want to run a set of command (i.e custom shell function) defined in script it doen't work.
