Re: [ILUG-BOM] Converting .prn files to .text

Thx a zillion. This sounds so much more simpler. I am using "Apple Laser Writer" printer driver, and have TICKED the Print-to-File option. Does this driver support PostScript. How can I check which drivers are PostScript compliant. Thx again.

Taking Screen Shots of RH 9 Installations
by santhosh amin 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

Hi Everybody, I have been trying to configure a sendmail box for my organization.The query i had is there a way to document the installation process ( GUI ), by taking screenshots of the same for documentation.Somewhere i think i came across a line in one of the guides / documents which said that when u take a printscreen during the installation process it gets stored as a file somewhere in the filesystem which can be later used. Request some of the experienced veterans to shed some light on this.Bottomline is i would like to document the installation process once i streamline it. Thanks in advance Warm Regards, Santhosh Yahoo! India Mobile: Ringtones, Wallpapers, Picture Messages and more.Download now.

lug working??
by rahul revo 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

hi all, i was wondering how the ilug actually works. you obviously have an email server, but what about the email parsing. i guess you have a zope app server as well. how have you integrated both? are all emails scanned by the app server or by email filters in the email server? how are the services like subscription etc through subject in email performed? also which os, etc software etc has been used and what hardware. what are the loads on the hardware. basically if an admin could spare some time and explain the entire design and the reasons for a particular choice. also wrt to load on server is it better to parse through all emails for html or just send it to all the clients. <i do not intend to restart the html vs plain text issue>. thanks rahul

df/du issue
by Keith Fernandez 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

Hi, Can anyone help me out. My problem: When I do a "df" on my file system, it reports incorrectly this is what I get on some on one of my partitions. ------------------------------ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdb1 7.7G 33M 7.3G 1% /vol2 ----------------------------- THe size of the disk is 7.7 GB and it says available is 7.3 GB that means 400 MB is used, it however reports 33M is used, although the HDD is empty. And "du -sh /vol2" gives me --------------------------- 37kB /vol2 -------------------------- There is nothing on the partition /vol2. What could be the reason for this... This is an answer I got "Deleted files/open files still held open are reflected in df but not du." Any ideas? Regards, Keith -- “I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for Wisdom... and God gave me problems to solve. I received nothing I wanted... But I received everything I needed."

Hi Friend, I was going thru some article and came across file /etc/securetty followed by /etc/usertty. I was able to restrict console logins to root user thru /etc/securetty but wanted to know the use of /etc/usertty if any could help me out. Also friends, came across a command "chattr" thru which u can set flags to ur file by which they cant be deleted even by root user or can be recovered after deletion or even can be accessed in append only mode, good command to be remembered security point of view as this settings can be used on logfiles.

Linux Bangalore/2003 announced
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Linux Bangalore/2003 announced India's biggest annual Open Source event to take place on December 2/3/4, 2003 Bangalore 19-Nov-2003: Linux Bangalore/2003, India's biggest and most popular Linux and Open Source event, will take palce at Bangalore on December 2/3/4, making it the third year that this event has been organised. What differentiates this event from commercial events (that are typically driven by vendors) is that this event is completely conceived, organised and driven by the Open Source community, focussing on technology talks and a technology expo. Linux Bangalore/2003 continues to work on the basis of its low-cost model - delegates pay only Rs.300 (US$6.50 - Rs.500/US$11 for people who do not register on the website) to have access to all the talks and subevents. The registration fee includes lunch and snacks and a conference T-Shirt. The event itself is funded entirely by sponsorships and sale of expo space. If someone would think that low-cost means low quality - think again! Over the three days, this event will feature almost 100 talks from well known Open Source technologists such as Miguel de Icaza (Mono/Ximian), Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP), Nat Friedman (Ximian), Jeremy Zawodny (MySQL/Yahoo), Bdale Garbee (Debian), Harald Welte (iptables) and others, along with a variety of well known community and industry speakers, including Gopi Garge, Kishore Bhargava, Atul Chitnis, Sirtaj Singh Kang, Naba Kumar, Sudhakar 'Thaths' Chandrasekharan and others. And to end each day, the organizers have planned the screening of a movie, a fusion music concert by the renowned fusion group Laya Taranga, and a rock concert by the well known group Phenom. The event, which consistently has drawn thousands of developers, implementors and enthusiasts from across the world, is sponsored by Linux and Open Source supporters HP, Novell and Exocore, with a number of industry and government bodies endorsing the event as well. Bangalore, already the IT capital of India, is quickly becoming a hothouse for Open Source development, with companies like Ximian/Novell, IBM, HP and others setting up development centres there. About Linux Bangalore/2003: Linux Bangalore/2003 is India's premier Linux/OpenSource event. This annual event brings together professionals and enthusiasts from India, Asia and the rest of the world for a three day Applied Technology Conference. For more information about the event, please visit http://linux-bangalore.org/2003 or contact the organizers at http://linux-bangalore.org/2003/contact/

running the XEmacs "compile" command in bash
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

Hi, Recently started using XEmacs for most of my coding work. The USP was the "compile" command that lets you use C-` to cycle through errors from the compiler-generated messages. But it seems XEmacs invokes "sh" for the purpose, although ~/.emacs_bash exists, and SHELL is set to "/bin/bash". It invokes bash correctly when I use "M-x shell". The problem is that my Makefile's depend on a lot of environment variables that are set using my .bashrc But sh invoked in non-interactive mode will not load .profile, which is the equivalent file. I need a way to make sure that XEmacs uses /bin/bash when compiling so that all the necessary environment variables are set from my .bashrc Sameer. -- Research Scholar, KReSIT, IIT Bombay http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/

Booting with Loadlin
by Rajen M. Parekh 16 Nov '03

16 Nov '03

Dear Luggers, I am using Suse Linux 8.2. When I am trying to boot the stock kernel image which came with the distro, by using loadlin (ie. loadlin.exe - from DOS) I get an error message like this, Uncompressing Linux............ Invalid compress format --System Halted. Earlier I had recomplied a new kernel image, and I am able to boot this image with loadlin but unable to do so with the stock kernel of the distro. I had experienced the same problem with Red Hat 8.0/9.0, but not with RH 7.1/6.2. Why is it so? The command 'file' gives the following output (for the stock kernel), rajen@localhost:~> file /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz: Linux/i386 Kernel, Setup Version 0x203, bzImage and for the re-complied kernel the output is, rajen@localhost:~> file /boot/vmlinuz.custom /boot/vmlinuz.custom: Linux/i386 Kernel, Setup Version 0x203, bzImage What seems to be problem? I tried by giving the parameters like "initrd= <initrd_image_file>", but the same thing. Basically the system just refuses to boot since it is not able to uncompress the kernel image. Any pointers? Rajen.
