[X-POST]: Reading an image file
by Roshan 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

List, I have been trying to search on reading an image file via C. I haven't been able to find code without libraries. However, being aware of the 'binary' mode in Windows (Turbo C++), I had read it using fopen, fread and fseek to read the header and then the contents. However, this reading was done reading individual bytes and not reading it using structures. Apologies, ahead, because, I suspect I may be using wrong 'terms' or may have some incorrect information. (Correct me, thanks) For example, a .bmp (grayscale image) file has first 54 bytes as header (IIRC, correct me, if I'm wrong). Somewhere within that, there's the height and width of the image. Following the 54 bytes are the pieces of image data containing integers between 0 - 255 representing grayscale colors. This seemed to work in Windows because I could see the results. Now, I do know that there are libraries that make this task easier in various distributions of Linux but the purpose (or requirements, If I may say) here it to read it in the same way as it was done in Windows. Though I also do see 'b' mode in the manual page of 'man fread', but I'm doubtful about the results. If anyone has tried to read an image file or has good sample code that I can lookup, would like to have links to it. Alternately, if someone can put in a few details regarding this in a little more 'easy-to-understand' way, that would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Roshan Baladhanvi

need help with simple shell script
by Suhit Kelkar 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hello, Could anyone kindly suggest how to make a firewall activate automatically when I start my browser? The firewall also demands root password. When I close the browser, can the firewall be closed automatically? No need for the firewall when I am not browsing the internet, as I do not have an always-on connection. I use firestarter firewall on ubuntu 9.04. Thanks in advance. Suhit Kelkar

Query about postfix.
by Rony 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hello, I have to setup an smtp server for a small office and I have zeroed in on postfix. I am going through the docs online but can't find the parameter that allows the sending of mails only to addresses listed in a whitelist type file. This is the peculiar requirement for the customer that emails can be sent outside the office, only to email addresses listed in a file. The *'smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient" parameter works only for local recepients. Any pointers to this? * -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

by narendra sisodiya 25 Dec '09

25 Dec '09

Dear all, Recently , I have purchased BenQ U121 netbook. I have BenQ U121 eco netbook comes with linpus linux version. but I have tested it well that its wifi does not work at all with Ubuntu 9.10 and UNR . I have tried full effort to install fedora 12 (using USB, using netboot, etc ) but It will not boot fedora atall. also speed is not promising. (also tried ndiswrapper but nothing helped) PS: Next time you go to purchase a linux netbook, just use a pen drive and use Unetbootin to load Ubuntu 9.10 and then just boot and test all thing at shop itself. -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya ( नरेन्द्र सिसोदिया ) │ Society for Knowledge Commons │ Web : http://narendra.techfandu.org └─────────────────────────┘

[OT/HW] CPU/System fans turn on but no video
by Arun Khan 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

I have bought an Intel Media series board DG45ID. I installed a Pentium D (775 socket) with a Corsair 2GB DDR2 (800 Mhz) mem. stick (in working condition from another system), connected a LCD monitor to the DVI port. The on-board green LED comes on when I connect the SMPS to the board. When I boot, the cpu fan turns on but there is no video at all. I don't get any beep codes either. I have put in PCI-e video card thinking the on-board video is bad. Same problem - no video, no beep code. I have swapped the mem. stick but the problem persists. The above testing done with only the bare minimum installed i.e. SMPS, CPU, Memory installed on the board. I have checked Intel web site for cpu compatibility and my cpu is listed there. I have come across DoA boards in wherein the board is simply dead - nothing comes works when powered ON. What could be the problem; the cpu or the board? Thanks for your help. Regards, -- Arun Khan

Display and Netork problem
by Cyril Chacko 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

Linuxers, I am on Debian Lenny, and have a Compaq laptop with Nvidia chipset and networking. I have a DSL wifi router at home which has WPA2/WPA1 security enabled and it is working fine The problem I face is that the nvidia graphics card is only getting configured on kernel 2.6.26.and the wpa_supplicant does not connect to the router. On the other hand on kernel 2.6.30 the wpa_supplicant is connecting properly and nvidia graphics card is not supported. As in on kernel 2.6.30: 1. There is no nvidia-kernel module and I have tried the module-assistant method and it is not working. 2. On Sid. as soon as I install nvidia-glx the entire xserver binary files are removed. I do not want to do a manual compile as then I will have to manually do the upgrades always. All I want to know is any pointers in configuration that may need to be done. Thanks, Cyril Chacko -- Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Make sure they are on you.
