Also, check if other bootable CDs boot? If they don't, you need to change some BIOS settings for boot-order.

by Kussh Singh 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

I have been unable to extract information--phonebook, sms messages, received/missed/called numbers logs from my Nokia N70 using wammu 0.29 on ubuntu 9.04 using the ca53 USB cable inspite of the wammu.eu site mentioning that the N70 phone is accessible/supported thru wammu. The wammu software detects the device but is unable to extract the data from it. If anybody has experience with the software or something similar in ubunntu, pls let me know. xGnokii, gmobilemedia and kmobiletools have been unable to access the phone even. only wammu has been able to access it using connection=at115200 and port=/dev/ttyACM0 Nokia pcsuite does not work properly under wine in ubuntu. Thanks for any help. Kussh

[OT] Shell accounts and payment from India
by Nikhil Marathe 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Hi, This isn't related to linux as such, but since we are all geeks, I thought people might no the answer. I'm currently looking for shell accounts and web hosting. I am ready to pay, but all hosts in Europe/USA accept payment via Bank transfer. Now from what research I've done it's not worth sending money out of India due to the bureaucratic hurdles. As for Paypal, that requires a credit card, but I only have a debit card. Does anyone here use webhosts outside India, or say VPSes. What do you do then? Is there any good provider of a shell account/VPS in india which will allow me to run a SOCKS proxy using SSH? It will be purely for personal use. That way I can pay within India. Nikhil

Windows Vs Linux AWESOME
by Kishor Gavali 04 Nov '09

Question 1 Teacher: What is 5 ^ 2 ? ( ^ stands for 'raised to the power' ) Windows said: Linux said: Huh! That's too easy! Are you insulting me? Here's the answer. Now ask more difficult ones. Question 2 Teacher: What is 123 ^ 123 ? Windows said: Teacher: Windows? What is this e+257 ? Who asked you to express the result in an exponential form? I want the complete result, accurate up to the last unit's place. Windows: Sorry Madam! I don't know how to calculate so accurately. Teacher: Linux! Can you answer it the way I want? Linux said: Sure Ma'am! Have a look at my answer. Question 3 Teacher: Calculate 12345 ^ 12345 ? Windows said: Teacher: You are calling my question invalid? Ridiculous!! You should rather be saying, "Sorry! This is too much for me to calculate. I can't do such huge computations." Linux, I hope you won't let me down. Linux said: Certainly not ma'am! You give me anything to do! I will always give you the answer and that too the way you want, correct up to the unit's place. J Here's my answer. (The output was too big to capture in one screen shot! The output had to be redirected to a file. Then it was copied from there and pasted here.) 28678652250036694428264556049831799639658398529657212556768276628156\ 96261243172347789319941760086956841965972700488642307045998675445189\

LG LXU 800 CDMA Modem under fedora
by Nachiketa Sadhu 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, I have started using The Reliance LG LXU800 modem for their NetConnect service. I have used it under MS Windows as of now. They provide Linux driver for kernel 2.6.27-7-generic specifically on the CD which came with the modem. It did not load with the linux kernel 2.6.30.8-64.fc11 which I have on my laptop. Search on the Internet only advised me to change to that particular kernel. Can anyone provide links or information on how to make this work under the present kernel and later under the updates which will be coming. I would also like to know if this can be used on a Asus EEEPC 4G. Thanks and regards. sadhu

@steve well, thanks for reminding but I know it is based on Wine. But for playing games in linux using Wine with default drivers, you have to do hell lot of tweaking and config settings.PlayOnLinux does all that for you. So no bubbles are there to prick :) thanks Pratik Anand

playing Windows games on linux
by Pratik Anand 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

We all know that Windows games don't run on Linux. Most of them don't even have linux ports. Many people even advanced linux users keep windows partition just to play games. Wine even doesn't help much as it slows down the system. Even worse case with virtualizations (like VirtualBox). Now here is a better way of playing games of Windows flawlessly on Linux. http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ Just stumbled upon it. It contains patches specific to game titles to make them executable in linux environment . Please have a look. Pratik Anand -- pratik3d.blogspot.com

[commercial] OnSite help with 2 HDD - VolGroup issues
by RSCL Mumbai 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, I have an IBM server with 2 identical disks -- SATA 250GB. I have installed CentOS 5.3 on both the disks. I want to keep both the disks connected in the server, Boot from Disk-1 and run a full disk RSync every night. The problem is, the 2nd HDD won't mount because of identical VolGroup names and related issues. Need to change the VolumeGroup of both HDDs and look at other related issues. End result, I need to be able to boot from HDD1, mound HDD2 and rsync. In case of HDD1 failure, HDD2 should be able to work as the main disk. I know this is similar to RAID and raid is an option, but I have my reasons for doing it this way. Looking for someone who can help me ? Let me know. Thx & Regards, Sandeep 98199-88384

Greetings! I am a final year engineering student from Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Andheri, Mumbai. I am a big fan of the FOSS philosophy and am working on BIOS level virtualiazation as part of my final year project. I am an ardent fan of Linux Journal and read it religiously every month from our college library. However due to some subscription issues the college is not able to acquire the October 2009 edition. Could any suggest a shop or bookstore in and around Andheri where it will be available as it has very important articles regarding my project. Thanks a lot!

Linux Criticism on Vista Forum hosted on Linux Server

Hi, Just came across these threads on these Linux Critic Threads on a Vista Forum that is actually hosted through PHPBB on Linux Server.... Funny, isn't it? http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/777… http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/648… http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/648… The discussions (rather debate) are really interesting to read and also educating. The strange part is, did some of those critics realize that they are actually debating against linux on a Linux Based Website? Bye Regards -- Pravin Balaji Dhayfule

Re: [ILUG-BOM] OT RHCE certification - Reg - Digium Certification
by Mitul Limbani 24 Oct '09

24 Oct '09

BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }Hello, On a slightly different note, already the market is flooding with lot of RHCE around, so differentiation between expertise is very difficult. But if you have a good familiarity on Linux Servers, a very different market can be explored which has a huge demand (the Open Source Telecommunications market) especially after a lot of new Telco and VAS players coming in the market, the need for Asterisk Training and Certification has risen up to quite a good extent. All these new generation VAS companies require prior work expereince on Asterisk or Certification which can assure them on the expertise, and hence my recommendation on doing an Asterisk course along with Official Digium Certified Asterisk Professional (dCAP) would raise the bar and eventually help candidates land into a better paying jobs within India itself. Nevertheless It may sound like blowing our own trumpet, if any candidate is looking to explore better probablity in landing up a job, they can consider actively looking at an Asterisk Training n Certification course to get them booted into the VAST Open Source Telecommunications market not only in India but world wide. I would like to quote here words of John Hall (Mad Dog) - Chief Editor of Linux International -"I predict that over next three years, VoIP using an open-source solution, such as Asterisk, will generate more business than the entire Linux marketplace today," - Refrence : http://news.zdnet.co.uk/communications/0,1000000085,39169076,00.htm [1] So anyone interested to explore their career in the Open Source world of Telecommunications can connect with me offline and or look at : http://www.entvoice.com/training/ [2] Thanks & Regards, Mitul Limbani, Founder & CEO, Enterux Solutions, The Enterprise Linux Company (TM), www.enterux.com +91-9820332422 On Sat 24/10/09 11:59 , Vivek Varghese Cherian vivekcherian(a)gmail.com sent: On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 8:41 PM, Ramang G wrote: > Dear all, > > I plan to do RHCE certification, I have familiarity with Linux servers worked for one year.

'Familiarity' or real time hands on experience with GNU/Linux or a truly community edition operating system like CentOS 5.3 is _not_at_all_ a requirement, You need to just know how to hack (I did not say crack) the North American Linux Vendor's certification exams. The exam is designed in such a manner to very large extend that only people already familiar with the exam pattern (read having paid The North American Linux Vendor 250$ a couple of times as exam fees and having failed in the first few attempts, and and also purchased their so called study materials) can pass. The short cut way is to attend the 'very very special' coaching classes at some places in Mumbai (including at Vibrant and Ultramax). The rates of 'very special coaching' package at the coaching centers can be reduced if you know how to bargain well enough or have a few people as a batch with you. (If you want to know about the rates, kindly contact me off list). A phd in Fish Market style bargaining always helps on such occasions. Please use CentOS 5.3 and set up a small home lab consisting of at least 2 or 3 workstations to prepare for the exam. Try configuring one GNU/Linux box as a router. If possible get an MTNL connection with a static I.P Address (that is what I use these days), It took me just 1 day to get the Static I.P Address assigned (for the TriBand 256 Unlimited Downloads scheme) from the MTNL Vashi Office. The Modus operandi to get the Static I.P Address assigned within a day is to visit the MTNL office and request them (read pester) very very very very politely till they give you one. And you know Bingo it works!!!!! The whole process of setting this home lab and configuring the Hardware and Software itself would make you more than competent to handle the North American Linux Vendor's exam and most importantly will give you hands on experience with basic GNU/Linux Systems and Network Administration. CBT tutorials are good but nothing beats setting up the lab yourself. ps:- I am a practicing Senior GNU/Linux Systems Administrator and I do use Cent0S 5.3 at my work place and also on my personal laptop these days and have been using various GNU/Linux distributions for close to 7+ years including the North American Vendor's offerings.

[OT] internship opportunities in NGOs related to FOSS
by Nikhil Marathe 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi all, I'm a second year engineering student. As part of our curriculum at DA-IICT ( http://www.daiict.ac.in ) we are required to do a rural internship ( ie. work with an NGO and contribute to society in some way ). Now I really want to do this well, so I figured if I could find a place where I could work with technologies I'm passionate about, that would be the best. So I'm really hoping to find some organisation which uses FOSS extensively in its day to day activities and could use another hand. The details are: Time frame: 2-3 weeks in December 2009 Place: willing to go almost anywhere, but I live in mumbai Areas I can work on: * Web development * Software development * Computer/Network setup * System administration * Teaching FOSS My resume can be found at http://22bits.exofire.net/resume.html PS. I would also appreciate pointers to organisations which could use any kind of IT help, not necessarily in FOSS. Thanks a lot, Nikhil
