GNU/Linux Distribution Suggestion
by pankaj＠glug4muz.org 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi all, Please suggest me a GNU/Linux distribution with following features: 1. After installing it with CD/DVD, most of packages available for it can be installed from same or another CD/DVD. High speed Internet connection should not be required for installing default packages available for it. 2. It should not be much resource consuming. Should work on an old system such as P-IV with low amount of RAM such as 512MB. 3. Latest version of LAMP related packages should be available on it. 4. It should support Tata Indicom Photon Plus connection. 5. Codes of common audio and video format should be available on it by default. 6. Upgradation process of it should be easy with the CD/DVD of current version. Best Regards ... Pankaj Kumar

CsvToKicad released.
by Linux 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hello List, For electronics engineers, when using open source EDA tools, one of big challenge is component schematic symbols. If you are creating symbol for component with more than 100 pins, it becomes very time consuming and challenging to create error free symbols. Here is a simple program to create symbols for open source EDA kicad. The idea is to describe symbol in .csv format and convert .csv to schematic symbol. At preset program supports Kicad only, but we as a community can expand the program to include as many EDAs(free/commercial) as we can. So that manufactures may start distributing .csv files for their components. Hence I request, if you know Java, have time and know some symbol formats, please contribute. The link to program is http://sourceforge.net/projects/csvtokicad/ http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/CsvToKicad.shtml Thank you. Best Regards Balwinder Singh

Screen brightness problem in ubuntu 10.04
by Amit Gokhale 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hello Everybody, This is my first post in the mailing list. I have Acer Aspire 4741Z laptop. After installing Ubuntu 10.4 everything is working out of the box. Only problem is I am not able to adjust screen brightness using Fn + left/right arrow keys. When I press those keys slider moves, but screen brightness does not changes. As brightness is always at maximum it drains battery fast. I have updated my distro with all latest patches and updates including latest kernel patch. But still have the problem. I even posted this problem on ubuntu forums also, but no luck there. Searched ubuntu forums also but found nothing. Is anyone else having same problem? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Amit Gokhale. 9619147571

[Commercial-China offer]All kinds of embedded hardware
by lug＠the6mgroup.com 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hi , It just occurred to me that I am silent member of this group since years .Years back I was just a small guy running a business in India . Now that life has changed a lot .I thought I will revisit you guys and see what I can be of use to others here . I have a Chinese and a Hong kong company. We are based in Shenzhen ( the nerve center of electronics manufacturing ), China . The interesting part is we are an unique Chinese company( with Indian origins) which has license to import export from China and also we have local software consultancy and solutions providing license for Doing business in China. China is the hot bed for consumer electronics. I am sure lot of my Indian brothers are now working on ARM technologies and various interesting projects in embedded technology and I am sure things are a lot harder in India because the hardware is not so freely available . In contrast in China all components and hardware required can be sourced very fast . So I would like to supply any hardware you may require even in small numbers .Since we have regular shipments to India for our existing business we can deliver the goods in Mumbai for you too . If there are people who are interested in developing China market for any of their products they may write to me also . Also if any of you guys want to come to Shenzhen,China and explore the mind blowing massive markets here feel free to ask for help . Please email me on mail(a)nikhilbhaskaran.com or laptopsmumbai(a)gmail.com I dont check the lug emails so much Take care all Regards Nikhil Bhaskaran

by Mukesh Yadav 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I have installed dnsmasq to resolve local domain say www.example.com. In dnsmasq I have configured these settings. address=/example.com/127.0.0.1 listen-address=192.168.0.3 The dnsserver is my laptop on which I have my xampp too. On my laptop I have given 192.168.0.3 as default DNS and it works fine. when I type www.example.com on Browser. On my desktop I'm running Windows which is having 192.168.0.2 IP. But the desktop is not resolving www.example.com I have changed default DNS to 192.168.0.3 and these two machine are connected via mtnl router and also I'm able to ping vise versa. -- Regards Mukesh Yadav

Sync and backup with latest modification time
by Sagar Belure 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Hi all, I liked the rsync utility for sync and backup in ubuntu. e.g. rsync -arH <source> <destination> would backup files in archive mode(-a), recursively(-r) and preserve hard links(-H). Using this, destination is modified based upon the filesize differences. How do I make rsync to take backup based on latest modified time, doesn't matter if destination file size is larger or smaller than the source file? Anyone have suggestion to use some other/better sync and backup utility than rsync? Any help would be appreciable. Thanks, Sagar Belure
