new topic in workshops
by Amish Munshi 26 Apr '03

26 Apr '03

Greetings, Shouldnt we include a topic on how to search for information when giving workshops? For example explaining how to use google.com to find the information on how to setup a modem, how to install some software, etc. This will help the newbies to help themselves and enjoy the hacking experince. Bye. -- Amish K. Munshi In GNU we trust.

Problem installing Redhat 9 on AMD Athlon XP 2200+
by rupesshnaadar＠powersurfer.net 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

I am trying to install Redhat 9 on ASUS (A7N266-VM) Motherboard having AMD XP 2200+ (1.8Ghz) processor. After installation the system freezes on: "Finding module dependencies:" I dont know how to go about getting my Redhat 9 to work. Its a dual boot with Windows. I am using LILO as my Boot-Loader. My keyboard locks up as well as I can't do Ctrl + C at that point. Is there some specific kernel parameter required for AMD Systems? Or is there any other linux distro which would work on this system. TIA. Rupessh

Implement procmail filtering. Sendmail plays the part of the mail delivery agent, and for a single mail account, procmail filtering suits better. For mails from all other domains, you may just want to delete them, instead of sending a bounce message. HTH, ~AM Hi I have a useraccount with email address info(a)unitech.com and info(a)otherdomains.com .......

[OT] Is your PC legal?
by Nikhil Joshi 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

Hi! I've observed that somehow people advocating Linux bring morality into picture. They argue about illegal (pirated) Windows and how bad it is (morally) to use one. Here is a checklist for all those paranoid about having their PC legal: (Please add to this list something that I might have missed ) 1. Is your PC or some part of it ( RAM,HDD,graphics card ) bought from grey market ? If yes you can safely assume that it is illegal. The required taxes have been evaded. 2. Do you have Mp3z on your Hard-Disk? Linux or Windows , they are completely illegal ( Why are you making MP3z if you own the CD ? If for giving it to friends then thats illegal too !). Its illegal even if you have burnt them on your CD instead of keeping them on your HDD 3. Do you have DivX/MPEG files of latest movies ? It is illegal. 4. Does your homepage/HDD have gif's. Arguably they are illegal too. (Some compression patent problems I believe) Here's my PC's status: 1. Bought from grey market. I lose the battle in first step itself ;) 2. Yep not a single mp3 on my HDD. 3. not a single MPEG/DivX 4. Dont have a homepage so no gif's created by me that are on the HDD My point: Windows user is on equal moral grounds (regarding legality of his/her PC) if a Linux user satisfies any of the criteria. There cannot be something less illegal. Either it is legal or it is not. P.S. (While I may be sounding Windows advocate let me tell you that I have only two OS'es on my PC : Linux and Dos (the command.com from the rescue disk of Windows 98, which is licensed, but not mine. I guess that's legal too as Microsoft, I guess, does not say that you must possess a legal copy of Windows 98 to use the command.com , Anywayz I use command interpreter of FreeDos) Nikhil

Unusual Problem using Java Plugin with Mozilla
by Rajen M. Parekh 20 Apr '03

20 Apr '03

Hi all, I have installed JRE 1.4.0 downloaded from Sun Microsystems. I am trying to run a java applet in Mozilla, but I am facing an unusual problem. When I am running mozilla as a normal user, it crashes if I try to load the java applet. But if I run mozilla as root, then the java applet is correctly loaded and runs smoothly. I can't figure out the problem. I read the java installation docs and the setup seems to be perfectly allright. I have also checked out mozilla.org. But my problem is a bit different, since the applet is running if I run mozilla as root, but not otherwise. Any pointers ? I am using Red Hat Linux 8.0. (Full Installation - i.e. installed all the packages), and Mozilla 1.0.1. Regards, Rajen. P.S. 1 : I still haven't found a solution for being able to use all the fonts (True Type) installed on the system, while using some gtk+ applications. Eg. Abiword, Gnumeric, Gedit, etc. I had posted a mail earlier in this regard. Still awaiting for some feedback. P.S. 2: For Pine users moving towards GUI, I recommend Open Webmail (a Web based Email Client). Has most (not all) of the features of Pine. Additionally has facility for accessing POP3 mails. What I miss most is the keystrokes of Pine. With Mozilla, I have yet to get used to finding the right keys. But GUI users comfortable with using mouse should find it worth giving a try. -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)

[OFFTOPIC] Please help, looking for framegrabbers for linux
by Rahul Saxena 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Hello, We ( students Fr. CRCE, final year, BE electronics ) are doing a project for developing a system similar to the ones used in robosoccer. (http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~robosoccer/) NO one we know of has implemented the whole robosoccer system yet, in India. One of the major aspects of this involves using real-time image processing for finding out the locations of robots and the ball in the game. We have developed most of the stuff using IntelOpenCV computer vision library and using personal USB webcams, however we are not able to get the required performance with these cameras.. *the frame rate is really slow ( average 2 fps ) *the image quality is also bad we are wondering if anyone can lend us any frame grabber cards which have linux drivers, for a couple of weeks, so that we can really test the efficiency of our routines and stuff like that. we can use both the routines and the webcam under windows, but then really we will be missing the point of doing a project like this ! any pointers are appreciated !

Misuse of 'hacker', again
by Manish Jethani 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Here's yet another great example of the gross misuse of the term 'hacker' by the under-informed media: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2003/tc20030416_7638_tc02… A quick search on google, for some background: http://www.google.com/search?q=misuse+of+term+hacker Imagine how angry a Muslim would be at an article titled "Should You Hire a Muslim?"--the author going by the assumption that all Muslims are terrorists. If you're a Muslim living in the US post 9/11, or if you have Muslim friends in a similar situation, you'll understand what I mean. Just as all Muslims are not terrorists (it's a real, real shame we have to explain this to some over-patriotic jerk in the US), all hackers are not social outlaws who break into systems to steal private data or cripple the system. A good hacker is capable of such stuff, and some hackers do, but the vast majority don't! Kevin Mitnick *might* be a hacker--I don't know, I don't care. Even if he is a hacker, he's also a guy, white, American, etc. and his name begins with 'K'. Is it fair to say that all white American guys whose names begin with 'K' are criminals? A hacker is only as likely to be a lawbreaker as, say, a carpenter, doctor, sportsperson, soldier, musician, lawyer (yes!) or even policeman. I'm proud to be associated with the hacker community of GNU, Linux and the Internet, and I urge my fellow hackers to raise their voices against such tarnishing use of our name. -Manish -- disclaimer: "The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation."
