Hi, If i take code from public repository and the license text is as follows.

Also can the disclaimer statement that "THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY XYZ" be edited to include the new contributor/contributors name. Does making changes to Copyright or Disclaimer break the license, Thanks Sandeep.

efax: No alert for incoming fax
by H.S.Rai 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I am able to successfully send and receive faxes on my PC. But there is no indication of an incoming fax so there is no way to know a fax is coming, just by watching (while testing in same room) that other person is sending fax, and clicking "Answer the call" I receive fax. What that is not possible in real deployment. STANDBY MODE (automatic answering mode) is not working. I changed initialization params from Z &FE&D2S7=120 &C0 M1L0 to Z &FE&D2S7=120 &C0 M1L2 S11=55 but no success. Any help will be appreciated. -- H.S.Rai

[Commercial] The Muktware Manual Project
by Swapnil 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Brussels, Belgium: We are pleased to announce The Muktware Manual Project. The aim of this project is to create comprehensive manuals/user guides for different Gnu/Linux-based operating systems. The core focus of this project is to help users in installing and using GNU/Linux systems through extremely easy, step-by-step instructions. The guides will feature images and videos to make it even easier for a novice to install & use their systems. We have selected 6 distros for this project: 1. Ubuntu 2. Kubuntu 3. Linux Mint 4. Fedora 5. openSuse 6. Debian Each project will be led by an editor. Each editor will be paid a renumeration of US $150 per project. The deadline to finish & submit the project is April 28th, 2011. We are looking for editors who can commit to releasing the projects in time and ensure error free copies of the manuals/guides. The Guides will be developed internally, but once finalized they will be released as open-source projects published under a creative commons license. The project will be open to be edited by anyone - just like a wiki. The Muktware Manual Project is our contribution to the development and growth of the free software technologies. The aim of this project is to create a comprehensive pool of information under a single roof which will benefit not just one distro, but GNU/Linux in general. I hope this project will help people to use GNU/Linux with greater ease. We are inviting the applications for editors. If you think you have the time and skills to lead the project, apply now to become a project leader/editor. Send applications to [1]editor(a)muktware.com Swapnil Bhartiya Editor Muktware.com References 1. mailto:editor@muktware.com

Low Cost Attendance Registering System with Biometrics using FOSS
by Rony Bill 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hello, I am happy to announce that the application is finally ready. Thanks to all those who helped with their valuable inputs. The system not only marks employees as present with their thumbnail photos and a monthly report but it also rejects wrong names and prevents duplicate / repeat marking for every day. If an employee signs on someone else's name then his photo is clicked with that user's name and his hanky panky is recorded. After a duration of some hours that will be decided by the company boss, the system even marks those who are absent as 'Absent' in their monthly log. Adding or removing users is simply a process of editing a single text file with a list of employees. -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists.

Now, make sure that you are connected to the internet using this 3g connection. 3. Next, use a sip software like Skype to make the the call. Or, if the target phone has Skype installed, then you can make free Skype-to-Skype calls from your desktop to this target phone. Skype is available for many phones, excluding Blackberry.

Sudo Issues [Solved]
by Rony 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

By changing the modified line below Defaults env_reset, runas_default=rony to Defaults:test runas_default=rony Now the user 'test' can run a command as user 'rony' and user 'rony' continues to use sudo like before. I think what happened was that since Defaults:......... was blank, it assumed runas 'rony' for all users. By specifying Defaults:test, the rule applied only to the user 'test'. I have not tried it but does it mean that the line Defaults:..... can be set one below the other for different users and different respective rules? -- As a proper list etiquette.....

Sudo Issues
by Rony 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hello, In Ubuntu, there is a default user called rony who is a part of the admin group and that user is allowed to run root commands with sudo. Now I create another user called test. There is a script in rony's home directory called timediff.bash and using sudo I want the user 'test' to run the script as 'rony'. In the sudoer's file the entry for the environment Default is as below: Defaults env_reset It is changed to: Defaults env_reset, runas_default=rony and a line is added below it: test ALL=(rony) /home/rony/timediff.bash This allows the user 'test' to run the timediff.bash script as 'rony'. All fine. However the user 'rony' gets debarred from the sudoer due to the runas_default=rony declaration. Is there any way both these features can be had? I tried different positions of Defaults in the file above the original Defaults command or below but at a time I can either run 'rony' as root or 'test' as 'rony' depending on the runas_default entry. Not both. -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists. Post your replies below the relevant original text, leaving a line space.

Starting Fedora 14 in TEXT mode
by Kshitiz 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Dear Linux Users Can we start Fedora 14 File Server in TEXT mode after having installed in text mode? If yes, how? We used to install up to Fedora 10 in text only mode and also get it started in text mode. But had to start installing in graphic mode as the text mode install from Fedora 11 onwards no longer offers partitioning and package selection. Our knowledge of Linux is limited and its been a long time I passed my engineering (20 years), so kindly pardon my limited abilities in Linux. Regards Kshitiz

[Humour] Linux kernel to be released under BSD licence
by Suhit Kelkar 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Source link: http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/open-sauce/46242-linux-kernel-to… Linux kernel to be released under BSD licence By Sam Varghese Friday, 01 April 2011 00:47 Opinion and Analysis The Linux kernel will soon be released under the BSD licence, kernel creator Linus Benedict Torvalds said today. He was speaking at a dinner held to honour the top five 2011 Linux Foundation gurus, including the ultimate Linux.com guru, the member of the site who accumulated the most contribution and participation points over the last year. The Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux. Shortly after he made the announcement, Torvalds was honoured by Foundation head Jim Zemlin for making the most meaningless contribution to Linux. In a confidential statement, which was leaked to iTWire by GNOME desktop co-founder Miguel de Icaza, Torvalds said his move to change the licence for the kernel from the GPLv2 had been driven by recent events, including Google's bid to use kernel headers without infringing copyright. "There are a host of corporations out there, all of them desperately trying to take advantage of the good code we have created," Torvalds said, referring to the kernel team. "And they are all hampered by the licence under which we have released the kernel." He said a secret summit of kernel developers, held in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa, had voted unanimously to change the licence from the GPLv2 to the BSD licence which meant that anyone could use code from the kernel in proprietary software and lock it away from public view forever. Asked for a reaction, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said he would have to closely examine the statements attributed to Torvalds. "This Linux thing was like a cancer all these years and it is difficult to see it metamorphosing overnight into something that might save our company," he said. Oracle head Larry Ellison declined an offer to comment. However, sounds of glee could be heard over the telephone before he replaced the receiver. Google chief executive Larry Page, who is new to the role, said: "Gee, we never do any evil so it doesn't make any difference to us." Novell chief executive Ron Hovsepian hailed the announcement as the "dawning of a new morning." The only note of disapproval came from Free Software Foundation chief Richard Matthew Stallman. "This Linux Foundation and other bodies tasked with promoting GNU/Linux are always indulging in publicity stunts. A few years back, some organisation recruited Paris Hilton in a bid to promote the kernel. This is just another cunning stunt," Stallman said.

Sed and Awk
by Rony 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hello, In the page http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/sedawk/ch02_05.htm I followed the instructions to create a file called nameState and byState. The earlier sample commands with nameState work. I can also 'cat byState' and see the contents too. But when I run their sample command |sed -f nameState list | byState I get the error: byState: command not found Even while typing the command itself, after the pipe, the byS does not auto complete giving a indication of a problem. What could this be? I can work with the file individually but after the pipe it does not show up. I can even do awk '{ print $0 }' byState and display the file contents. | -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists.

Good Sed Learning Site?
by Rony 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hello, I am trying to get a grip on sed and regular expressions. I found this site which looked nice but it appears to have mistakes in its examples. For eg. on this page http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/sedawk/ch02_03.htm There is a file called 'list' and all commands are tested on this file. The file contents are:- John Daggett, 341 King Road, Plymouth MA Alice Ford, 22 East Broadway, Richmond VA Orville Thomas, 11345 Oak Bridge Road, Tulsa OK Terry Kalkas, 402 Lans Road, Beaver Falls PA Eric Adams, 20 Post Road, Sudbury MA Hubert Sims, 328A Brook Road, Roanoke VA Amy Wilde, 334 Bayshore Pkwy, Mountain View CA Sal Carpenter, 73 6th Street, Boston MA They have created a script file called sedscr. I have put the text as asked by them which is pasted below s/ MA/, Massachusetts/ s/ PA/, Pennsylvania/ s/ CA/, California/ s/ VA/, Virginia/ s/ OK/, Oklahoma/ However when I give this as input to the file called 'list', I get an error:- sed: file sedscr line 1: unknown option to `s' In the earlier examples of substitution sed 's/MA/Massachusetts/" list works only on the first instance of MA and not all which goes against their statements that sed commands are global by default unless the address is specified. The above command will work globally only if the /g option is put in the right had side. Is there any good website where I can learn sed and regular expressions. -- As a proper list etiquette.....
