printers' ink
by Kussh Singh 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Recently i saw hp officejet pro printers being used very economically with regard to refilling printer ink in the cartridge. Essentially a one litre bottle of ink costing just 600 to 700 rupees was connected via flexible tubing to the cartridge. The bottle used to last the office for almost an year's printing ink needs. I wonder if such contraptions are available in Mumbai or other cities now. If anyone knows, care to share such info. Kussh

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mithun Shitole <mithunit(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 1:42 PM Subject: [PLUG] Found a laptop which is Linux friendly To: Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List <plug-mail(a)plug.org.in> Hi, This is just to share my experience with the laptop purchase. I have purchased two Lenovo G550 Laptops. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on it. And to my surprise, everything worked out of box. Wifi, Bluetooth, Graphics, Sound. It was like a breeze. Its a core 2 duo, 3gb ram, 320gb hard disk machine. I am very happy with my deal. After I purchased another Lenovo laptop, this time core i3. Its G560. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, and it also worked fine. I hope this will help someone who wants to buy a laptop and run Linux onto it. Thanks and regards, Mithun _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List -- Regards, Easwar Registered Linux user #442065

This code can be used to enable multitouch (aka iphone like touch interfaces on linux) Not confirmed on Non synaptic touchpads. Create a text file and paste these commands in it: #!/bin/bash # xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=32 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure" 4 xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=32 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Width" 8 xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=8 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling" 1 1 xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=8 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Edge Scrolling" 0 0 0 xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=32 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Jumpy Cursor Threshold" 250 xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=8 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Tap Action" 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=8 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Palm Detection" 1 xinput --set-button-map "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" 1 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 exit Save it.

[Job] Change the world for good
by Piyush Ranjan 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hello! We are a small group of open source enthusiasts, working on an open source Management Information System (MIS) for Micro-Finance Institutions (MFI). >From Wikipedia: Microfinance Institutions<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfinance_institution> *Microfinance is the provision of financial services to low-income clients, including consumers and the self-employed, who traditionally lack access to banking and related services. * In simple words, MFIs provide financial services to poor people such as loans, insurance etc. MFIs are very operation intensive organizations and hence need fool-proof IT solutions. One critical piece of software needed for MFI operations is MIS which is the core of their business. This system takes care of a whole gamut of things for them. This includes banking software which takes care of loans & savings accounts. Apart from this they also need accounting, HR and reporting/BI etc. This project is called Mostfit <http://mostfit.in> and it is available under MIT license on github <http://github.com/piyushranjan/misfit>. It is written in Ruby with Merb as the web framework, Datamapper as the ORM, RSpec for testing and Haml as the html templating language. Mostfit is also made available on a SAAS model to MFIs. We are looking for two kickass hackers who are either competent in Ruby or are willing to learn the language . We are looking at experience levels of at least 2-3 years in software industry. This person should also be willing to put in considerable efforts to learn the domain problem and should not be averse of working in a start up environment. Location is Mumbai and salaries would be comparable to market standards Piyush Ranjan Developer Mostfit

React Operating System - They criticize Linux as being old... how dare they
by Pravin Dhayfule 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hi, I came across this piece of crap http://www.reactos.org/en/index.html that claims itself to be a FOSS alternative to Windows and Better than Linux. As per them they have built a FREE OS based on NT Kernel. So this means that they have come up with a free Windows Looking OS with capabilities of running Windows applications. I am damn sure it has also replicated the security bugs. Its like they are M$ Supporters in the disguise of FOSS Supporters -- Pravin Balaji Dhayfule CEO - Bhavsar Kshatriya Samaj Community Portal - www.bhavsarsamaj.com Founder - KeepHopes.com Author - cyberethics.co.cc

> > > I do with HDFC NetBanking. >>> >>> >> even on your personal laptop/machine? >> > > Why not! If you are on Wifi... > I am at a total loss over here. What has Wifi got to do with keylogging and / or the use of a software keyboard? Use whatever system of input. If the website doesn't encrypt the data, then its open to look at, even if the wifi is secure. The keylogger has nothing to do with WIFI at all (in the original topic) I'm totally confused as to what is being discussed now. Facebook - these guys have suddenly discovered that my email id - which I have been using for the past 15 years - does not exist! Had the same issue. Been fixed now, imho. Surya

Subject line pretty much says it all. I have a couple of Intel based solutions and quite happy with the performance of KVM on them. I want to try the AMD platform for a desktop system, I can search the web and come up with a combo but it may not be readily available @ Lam Rd. Please suggest a combo that can be readily sourced in Mumbai. TIA, -- Arun Khan

Usually cyber cafes use some sort of customized software to keep time track, block sites n similar things, small tweaks to those software can do this n much more (desktop sharing).

Mail about keyboard security [OT]
by Rony 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Hello, Just like the dozens of forwarded mails that warn us of the so called 'dangers' in many things, products, places etc, I received a mail warning the reader about keyboard security. I brushed it off but went on google to check it out. It is no. 11 and goes like this.... "11. Beware of New FRAUD strategies - Keyboard PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHENEVER YOU'RE USING A PC AT A PUBLIC PLACE (Like INTERNET CAFES..ETC).CHECK THE BACK OF THE PC AND SEE IF THE BELOW DEVICE IS THERE..IF SO..DO NOT USE IT!!!!" http://infosecawareness.in/security-tips I would not take this seriously but it is from the site of CDAC, so is there any truth in this or the site itself is some fraud using CDAC's name? -- Regards, Rony.

You probably aren't using the correct output stream. I'd suggest using HTTP or RTP (Realtime) for proper streaming under destination options. Also, check the Transcoding to get the correct A/V codecs for target device. IE and FF can handle only certain stream / codecs natively. Surya

Now I am learning how to do Scheduling of videos. VLC is really cool tool. But I found problem running vlc videos on IE. Also on firefox with windows you need to install VLC player with Mozilla plugin selected. One more issue is installing vlc on production CentOS server. I couldnt install it with yum. May be I need to compile it. I will work on it and post doc for it. Thanks n Regards Neelesh

But it's dicey, as you require a newer libc6, gcc, modutils and initram tools. Any reason for not switching to a newer distro? -- Rgds JTD
