Please furnish more info about the vid card you use, if its integrated into the the motherboard and such info. Was the original Knoppix you had downloaded working fine on your hardware? Right now, you might want to boot Knoppix to console and try probing your hardware, if you are sure that support for your AGP is included in teh version of X that is included in teh Knoppix version. -- cheers

AT THE LINUX COUNTER: Linux Counter has a total of 138722 people registered. 1407 users have been registered by friends. There are 124367 machines registered. This network guesstimates that between 0.2% and 5% of all Linux users have registered with the Linux Counter. So the total number of Linux users is probably between 2,774,440 and 69,361,000 people. Among the country-wide ratings, India is ranked only 137th overall, when judged by GNU/Linux uers per million population. But in terms of overall number of GNU/Linux users registered, India with 2843 registered users is only behind the US (28514 registered users), Germany (11307), Brazil (9785), France (6479), Spain (5558), Great Britain (5307), Canada (4600), Italy (4517), the Netherlands (3595), Sweden (3300), Finland (3137 users). India is ahead of Russia, Mexico and China. Probably improved connectivity to the Net here would make more people aware of the Linux Counter, and give users a better chance to register. Linux Counter recently completed 10 years of its existance. This compiler (FN) is proud to be associated with this initiative, as a volunteer covering Goa-India.

Says he: "Install version is what a normal user would need. Live version is ready-to-run TeX system for 12 operating systems in a DVD without installing unto your harddisk and demo is a scaled down live version for Linux, Win32 and Mac OSX alone." All the bzipped ISO images are at: http://sarovar.org/projects/texlive PDF and JPG files of all the CD/DVD labels and covers are also available at the same site. You might find details about TeXLive at: http://texlive.sarovar.org "Be warned that bzipped images of install and demo CD's are roughly 270 MB and 571 MB respectively. Compressed DVD image is 516 MB. The page might show you the filesize as single digit bytes, that's because it is a symlink from the mirror folder. TeXLive is an ongoing project at TUG, so we would sync the newest stable releases always," says he. TUGIndia is making available the TeXLive 2003 collection (3 CD set released by TUG), beautifully packaged in a nicely printed CD cover. It looks like a collectors item. They have fixed the price at Rs. 1,000 per set including forwarding and shipping costs. Says CVR: "We would dispatch CDs to the individual/institutions who have already paid the cost (of Rs. 500 which was the cost of previous release of TeXLive) and waiting for TeXLive's release without any burden of extra cost. This is in recognition of their patience and interest in TeXLive." People who are fortunate to have a fat bandwidth can grab the images from sarovar.org. They are free to make copies and distribute, but respect the licences of the packages. Says CVR: "Recently, Springer-Verlag copied TeXLive 7 CD and distributed along with one of their LaTeX books with explicit instruction on the CD that 'contents of the CD should not be copied or distributed' which is a clear violation of the licences of thousands of packages in the CD. By doing such a thing, one invites the wrath of TUG, FSF and obviously runs the risk of litigation." Compilation of the TeXLive CD is the result of the hard work of hundreds of developers' for several months apart from the terrific work of several thousand contributors who wrote all the software solely for the benefit of the user community. By purchasing the TeXLive, the cost of which is only that of the media and shipping, you promote a great movement that stands for software freedom, adds the Indian TeX Users Group. INDIANISATION AHOY: That untiring campaigner on Indianisation issues, G Karunkar <karunakar(a)indlinux.org> -- incidentally, we're awaiting this guy at the 'Paradise LUG' chapter in Goa later this month -- informs us that IndLinux Milan CD 0.7-2 alpha has been released. Some time back the final release notes were yet to be up. But, says he, you can track the release notes at http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php?IndLinuxMilanReleaseNotes Download the ISO from (total size 531MB). http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11495 Features: * Based on Morphix 0.4-1 * Gnome 2.4 desktop, OpenOffice 1.1rc3 , evolution 1.4 * Extra apps added: Yudit, gtranslator, pfaedit, kbabel, gettext, balsa * Boot options for all major Indian languages added.

There are two ways to it you could use font based method, where you select the font and type, so font tags are used for it, and that particular font has to be installed on client side. Dynamic fonts can be used, but they won't work on GNU/Linux. Another way is to make webpages in unicode. On GNU/Linux you can use Redhat 9/MDK 9/ Morphix, all of which have Gnome 2.0. Here you will have to do all html coding urself. Mozilla composer can also be used, but its not yet supporting rendering (the stable releases). Check out http://www.geocities.com/alkuma/seehindi.html, that should help you get started. On using yudit read http://www.indlinux.org/doc/yuditguide.html Karunakaran says that they are customising Morphix to make it indian-language enabled, with commonly needed apps. Quite some people have show interest in that. Says he: "You can chekout what we are doing at http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php?IndLinuxDemoCd Also check with http://smc.sarovar.org (the Malayalam localisation group). They made a malayalam knoppix CD and it was probably used in some projects."

[ILUG-BOM]FYI: List Guidelines
by Philip S Tellis 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

Welcome to the GNU/Linux User Group of Bombay (ilug-bom)! READ THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THEM CLOSELY Now that you are a member you can read and post mails to the group. The messages have to be related to propogating, using, trouble-shooting, bug-fixing, of GNU/Linux operating system. Feature comparision of other operating systems and distributions is allowed, but restrain from BASHING. GNU/Linux is possibly the most friendly operating system, and hence as users of the OS let us all maintain a FRIENDLY tone to our conversations on the list. YOU are the best judge to determine the relevance or irrelevance of your post to GNU/Linux, and therefore you are responsible for your postings. Since this is not a moderated list, please read the guidelines before posting mails to the list. The sole functioning of this list is based on the self disciplinary nature of its users. ILUG-Bom Mailing List participation Guidelines 1. Keep paragraphs and messages short and to the point. See that what you are writing is useful to the mailing list. If not, send it as a private message to the person. (Note that by default the mails go to the LIST) Please change the sender address appropriately before sending a personal mail. 2. When quoting another person, edit out whatever isn't directly applicable to your reply. Don't let your mailing software automatically quote the entire body of messages you are replying to when it's not necessary. Take the time to edit any quotations down to the minimum necessary to provide context for your reply. Nobody likes reading a long message in quotes for the third or fourth time, only to be followed by a one line response: "Yeah, me too". Messages larger than 7k will not be posted immediately. Such messages will need the list admin's approval. 3. Focus on one subject per message and always include a pertinent subject title for the message, that way the user can locate the message quickly. Also please include a suitable header in case of Commercial / Offtopic mails. Do NOT use subject headers like "HELP", "One question". Most experienced users will simply ignore these mails. 4. Capitalise words only to highlight an important point or to distinguish a title or heading. Capitalizing whole words that are not titles is generally termed as SHOUTING! *Asterisks* surrounding a word can be used to make a stronger point. Use the underscore symbol before and after the title of a book, i.e. _Linux Configuration And Installation_ Underscores may also be used to signify _underlining_, while surrounding your text with slashes makes it /italics/. 5. Limit line length to approximately 65-70 characters and avoid control characters. This helps ensure that lines don't grow too long after several levels of replies. Remember that each reply adds one level of > to the start of the line. 6. NEVER send chain letters to the mailing list. A mail simultaneously sent to more than 10 users will not reach the list. This is to eliminate possible spammers/bulk mailers to reach the list. 7. Be careful when using sarcasm and humour. Without face to face communications your joke may be viewed as criticism. When being humourous, use emoticons (smileys) to express humour. (tilt your head to the left to see the emoticon smile) :-) = happy face for humour. 8. If a mail has offended you personally, please send a private message to the person expressing how you feel, instead of sending it to the mailing list. 9. Please remember that we have both male and female members. No gender abuse is allowed on the list, and do not include any gender specific slang in your posts. 10. Acronyms can be used to abbreviate when possible, however messages that are filled with acronyms can be confusing and annoying to the reader. Examples: IMHO = in my humble/honest opinion FYI = for your information BTW = by the way Flame = antagonistic criticism. http://www.jargon.org for more such acronymns. 11. Please provide URL's to articles wherever possible. Avoid cutting and pasting whole articles especially considering the fact that all may not be interested. In any case your posting may not be more than 7k. Occassionally if you may have to send such a mail, post it, it will reach the members after the list admin approves it. 12. When using the mailing list for commercial purpose, please prefix the subject line with "COMMERCIAL". 13. Please *read all your mails before replying* to a mail. Someone may have already answered it. 14. Remember that most of the people are paying by the minute for their internet access. Some pay per byte. Hence please do not waste bandwidth. Ensure your posts are in plain text only. Do not post html mails, or include attachments. Restrict signatures to not more than 4 lines of 72 column text. Do NOT include company disclaimers in your messages. 15. Any violation to the above will be given a warning. 5 such warnings and the subscriber will be suspended from the mailing list for 15 days. Compiled by - G.Sagar. (with a few additions by Nagarjuna G. and Sandesh Rao) -- On a clear disk you can seek forever.

[ILUG-BOM]Problem with using IMAP daemon.
by Rajen M. Parekh 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

Hello Luggers, I am trying to use Squirrelmail (a web based email client). It requires an imap service running. I want to access my mails in /var/spool/mail/rajen. I don't know much about how to use imap nor have I read much about it anywhere. I installed imapd (UW), and xinetd. I enabled imap in /etc/xinetd.d/imap file, which looks like, service imap { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/imapd flags = IPv4 } Then I enabled imap in inetd.conf, which looks like, imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd I still could not log in using Squirrelmail. I then tried to use telnet on port 143. When I connect I get the following message, Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED] localhost IMAP4rev1 2002.332 at Wed, 15 Oct 2003 12:37:52 +0530 (IST) The problem it seems to me is that is imapd starts with LOGINDISABLED. How can I change that? Or is it so that imapd is compiled with this option. The man pages nor the documentation available with the package is of any help. BTW, I am using Suse Linux 8.2 ... Rajen.

No. The browser tries to do a host look up through the proxy (am i right here ?) so u could block ads even there.

I would aswell maintain such a list in my mozilla blocklist then. No hostlookup then ! >there's overhead in starting a new process, and in >running that. how much ? cpu usage for bfilter is nearly 0% as i see it right now and memory usage is 200kb, not bad eh ? Another issue with host blocking. What if a file that you want is on your blocked host ?? other than the simple image that you were supposed to block ? host approach fails there. Image blocking would do some good if u were using mozilla. There are some tradeoffs in each approach, for my purpose bfilter fits the bill.

Besides if i change my setup or lose the built up list its all gone. Heuristic scanners such as these are perfect for on-the-fly removal of ads. At absolutely no pain or modification to any damn file. The program itself hardly has any overhead and doesn't introduce any kind of latency in browsing. I've used tons of these ad removers including the hosts file approach, bfilter takes the cake. Even the mighty proxomitron for windows ain't good enough. And if that ain't enough u can add the sneaky ones to the program's conf.

[ILUG-BOM]Lynx with windows proxy authentication
by K i r ＠ n G h a g 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

Hi, I am planning to use Lynx on my windows box. Problem is that the proxy server is a Micro$soft platform and setup for windows integrated authentication. Due to this reason, I am able to use only Internet Exploder to access net. Is there any way to set Lynx for windows or SOCKs authentication? Thanks and Regards, Kiran Ghag Software Engineer @ Patni Computers, India Web Page: http://kiran7.freeservers.com The problem that we thought was a problem was, indeed, a problem, but not the problem we thought was the problem. -- Mike Smith

[ILUG-BOM]great downloader and ad filter for GNU/Linux
by linuxdev 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

I came across this GTK based downloader for Linux. It's really fast loading and full-featured like the famous flashget for windows. You might want to try it out - http://www.krasu.ru/soft/chuchelo/ While wget is good, it lacks multiple stream downloading, and for Joes, a gui and a few more things like scheduling, b/w control etc etc. Also there's a superb ad filter - bfilter - for linux. http://bfilter.sourceforge.net/ Its ad detection is heuristic in nature and hardly requires any fine tuning. Needless to say all the ads on my screen have vanished. As if that wasn't enough the author is planning on flash ad detection and removal. In fact its already in cvs. Try out whatever u like, stable or cvs. reporting from trenches, C Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.
