Even if the roads were ok, every time u braked hard ur data would be sent out. And every time there was an accident without hard deceleration or acceleration, there would be no data.

[OT] Investigating Accidents
by Rony Bill 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hello Luggers, Whenever an accident takes place on the road, the biggest problem is to find out who was at fault. This is even more important when investigating accidents involving public transport buses and trucks. If we have a video recorder that will record the entire bus journey, it would use up a lot of memory space with unnecessary recordings. Instead of that suppose we have a system where video cameras mounted strategically on the bus send their signals to an onboard computer mounted inside a safe black box. The recording memory will only be sufficient for recording one or two minutes of video recording. The system will be such that the older recording will be continuosly overwritten by the new one, so at any given time, the last two minutes recording of the bus journey will be available. Whenever there is a crash or sudden jerks or hard braking, the sensors mounted on the bus will send a signal to the computer which will zip the last 2 minutes recording into a file and send it by wireless networks to the control room's base station. This file can be usefull to investigate accidents involving public buses. Later on it can also be made mandatory on all private vehicles who will trasnsmitt the signals to a central controll room of the traffic department. Thanks and Regards, Rony.

hdb2 not mountable : super block inconsistent
by Trevor Warren 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Morning guys/gals, Am in bit of a soup here. I have an ext3 disk at a clients place of which one of the partitions has gone kaput. Essentially they are as follows: >> hdb1 : /boot >> hdb2 : / >> hdb3 : Swap /boot is mountable while / isn't. I have used the knoppix rescue cd and have tried to mount the partition but it gives me and error with the superblock. When i try mounting using the mount command i get an error saying that mount partition can't be recognised. Just last week this issue had come up. I asked the client to pull out the IDE cables, clean the machine and plug them in. By the grace of god, the partition got mounted again. This time around lady luck seems to have failed me. I am quite lost for a solution to the same. If anyone could pass one some suggestions to help recover the production data on the disk i would be highly obliged.

[ILUG-BOM] Rajesh Jain speaks at GLUG meet TODAY @ 3PM KReSIT, IIT Bombay
by venky1＠vsnl.com 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

Rajesh Jain is the main speaker at the GLUG meet being held at KReSIT, IIT Bombay, today. Jain is the founder of Netcore (www.netcore.co.in) and is a legendary Internet entrepreneur whose sale of India world to Satyam sparked off the venture capital/startup mania in India. He is a true technology visionary and belives that FLOSS is extremely relevant to India's needs. This is a rare chance to hear his views when he addresses the GLUG meet. He will be speaking on FLOSS and its relevance to India. I had interviewed him for Express Computer a few months ago and the link for this is at http://www.expresscomputeronline.com/20030825/linuxspecial03z.shtml He will be followed by Mitul Limbani of Enterux talking about Resty. The directions to IIT Bombay and KReSIT are below my signature. More detailed directions and a map of the campus are at http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/visit/ See you at 3PM at KReSIT today! Venky 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. -0-

Using Eudora Internet Mail Server
by Vickram Crishna 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

I configured EIMS on my box to handle outgoing mail - it seemed a good idea, saving me a bit of grief on outgoing mail. However, the log showed me within a day or two that the server was apparently being used to relay mail for others, although I had checked off the boxes that should have restricted sending mail to known IDs - in fact, only this one. Needless to say I have discontinued using it. Can anyone guide me about correctly configuring SMTP? -- Vickram

Single User Mode
by abhilash kumar 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

Hi all Regarding the discussion on the saftey if one can enter LINUX by switching into single user mode at the boot prompt one solution that I can think of is to comment the line specifying the single user mode in the /etc/inittab file [ l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1 ]. Then the system will boot but the system can't be started correctely in the single user mode not only @ the boot prompt but even otherwise. Only the magic buttons CTRL + ALT + DEL works if not diabled. Inorder to switch into the Single user mode then one with the rootly powers has to uncomment the line and then ask the init process to re-examine the /etc/inittab file once again by typing "init q". Then one can use the Single user mode. Long live LINUX abhilash ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
