Could anyone who knows Sachin Sawant please inform him that his mailing list account has been set to "nomail on" as his mail server bounces all messages with the word "free" in the subject line. He may reenable mails once his mail server has been fixed. A private message was sent to Mr. Sawant a few days ago, but no response has been received, nor has this issue been resolved. -- List Admin

[ILUG-BOM] Department of IT : Govmt of India ( We need to respond Luggers )
by Trevor Warren 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

Department of Information Technology E-Commerce Section The Section 87 of the IT Act, various rules and regulations are being formulated by the Central Government. Under Section 87(2)(b) & 87(2)(c), the following rules are to be formulated. 87(2)(b): the electronic form in which filing, issue, grant or payment shall be effected under sub-section(1) of section (6). 87(2)(c): the manner and format in which electronic record shall be filed or issued and the method of payment under sub-section(2) of section(6). While framing the above rules, a view point emerged that the use of the oen source technology for electronic filing of the records could also be explored and it may not be restricted to proprietary software. The details of the different opinion are enclosed herewith for your reference. Different opinion on the procedure to be followed for electronic filing of records under Section 87(2)(b) and 87(2)(c): Issue An electronic record may be filed with any office, authority, body or agency owned control by Central Government provided the said electronic record is a secure electronic record, is in portable document format and has been created using approved open source software. While for the use of secure electronic record and portable document format could be an acceptable norm, there is an apprehension on the use of open source software. Opinion I: There would be more issues related to security in the open source software as all the developers who are hosting source document on the web do not generally take the responsibility. The infrastructure also as such is not available for approving the particular type of software from the various varieties of software available in the market. Open source software may not be acceptable to public at large and it could become a legal issue. Opinion II: The relevant open source software for creation of PDF files could be easily created in short span of time by the government bodies. Trojanized software could be a major threat to national security and the use of approved open source software is the best precaution against trojans. Using the proprietary software for government filing system could be dangerous as the non-availability of source code could make it impossible to evaluate the software for hidden threats. Since the use of open source software is not proposed to be made compulsory for transaction between private parties and hence, there could be no apprehension about legal issues on the use of open source software. An opinion is sought from all the members of the public knowledgeable on the above subject whether the open source software should be used for electronic filing, issue, grant or payments taking into consideration the opinion I and opinion II above. The replies may be sent before 30th November 2003 to the following mail address: apatki(a)mit.gov.in Harshprabha Joint Director 16.09.03 -- ( >- LINUX, It's all about CHOICE -< ) /~\ __ twarren(a)redhat.com __ /~\ | \) / Pre Sales Consultant - Red Hat \ (/ | |_|_ \ 9820349221(M) | 22881326(O) / _|_| \___________________________________/

[OT] The Book of Mozilla
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

Really great comments happening at mozillazine, about the recent poll for the favourite verse from the Book of Mozilla. http://www.mozillazine.org/poll_results.html?id=3818 I especially liked one towards the end that talks about Gentoo and Debian, and ends with: Everyone else ignored the Gentoos anyway, for their ears ached after the Assault at Slanted Point. And the followers of Mammon said, "Huh? Did anyone understood what the heck they were saying? Me neither." Sameer. -- Research Scholar, KReSIT, IIT Bombay http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/

debian (knoppix) upgrade after re-install
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 24 Nov '03

24 Nov '03

I had installed Knoppix 3.2 on my machine. After doing apt-get update, some 60 - 70 mb worth of .debs had been downloaded and then installed on my machine. Now, the hdd has developed bad sectors. As the hdd is still within the warranty period, I have to return it to the vendor for testing which will destroy all my data on the hdd. the .debs have been saved on the hdd somewhere in /var/... (I don't remember the exact location -- I am not at that machine). my question is: If I back up these .deb files, will I be able to reuse them after I reinstall knoppix ? if so, how ? What other files do I need to backup ? What is the best way to get a working debian install on my machine with all the latest goodies like in knoppix ? (I mean the latest kde for eg, which in woody, even after upgrading via the net gives me kde 2.1.2 which is ancient :( ) I read somewhere that this is best done by installing just a base system from woody and then upgrading the base system to testing or unstable. I can't find this reference now so, any pointers are welcome. I am a newbie to debian. thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Mumbai, India.

.Xauthority problem
by Abhijeet D Mhatre 24 Nov '03

24 Nov '03

Hi I login as root and do all my work. But there are times when I need to login as a user abhijeet and do my work especially when I have to commit my code to cvs. I do that using > su abhijeet > konqueror & This starts konqueror and then I use the cervisia plugin in konqueror and commit my work in CVS using the user abhijeet. This was working well untill yesterday when it started giving foll errors and konqueror (and other apps) refused to launch. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0.0 At the server end (The console form where I run startx) also it gives errors. X: client 16 rejected from local host. I suspected it to be a problem with the /root/.Xauthority so I replaced the file with a blank file. Now although it gives new errors, Session management error: Could not open network socket QSettings: failed to open file '/usr/lib/qt-3.1/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.1rc' knoqueror launches. But I need to replace .Xauthority with a new file every time reboot. If anyone knows the soluton or can throw some light on the problem please let me know. regards Abhijeet D Mhatre
