05 Sep '09

Hi All, Many times we say that email clients like Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, are an open source email clients which are good replacements for MS Outlook Express and MS Outlook. But are these really a replacement for MS outlook? I can agree that they are a good replacement for MS Outlook Express but not for MS Outlook. so if they are not a replacement for MS Outlook, then which open source clients are a good replacement for MS Outlook? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sameer Shinde.

distro junkie
by Suhit Kelkar 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Dear GNU/Linux Users Anonymous, Let me confess it. I am a distro junkie. I change distros nearly every month. I really like distro X, which I'm sending this on. Yet I'll end up installing something else a couple of months later. Productivity hasn't suffered, because I do writing/translation for a living, and OpenOffice is there on anything these days, but I suppose this installmania is a worrying symptom? Would appreciate your advice [comments also, if witty and inoffensive]. Regards, Quavering Hopper

Our meeting with the secretary school education
by Nagarjuna G. 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Please forward this to your press contacts. Press Release A delegation of seven educationists and activists from Mumbai met the Secretary, School Education, Government of Maharashtra, Shri Sanjay Kumar, at the Mantralaya on 2nd September at 3pm. Their aim was to express their critique of the proposed agreement between the state and a multinational corporation in the area of ICTs in education and to offer an alternative based of Free and Open Source Software. The attached representation (PDF) was submitted to him by the group, who consisted of : Nagarjuna G., Free Software Foundation, India Padma Sarangapani, Tata Institute of Social Sciences Ravi Subramaniam, Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR J T de Souza GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai Chandita Mukherjee, Comet Media Foundation Sridhar Iyer, IIT Bombay and Sahana Murthy, IIT Bombay. During the meeting, the Secretary informed the delegation that the State government is aware of the pitfalls of working with corporates and is willing to consider alternatives approaches to introducing ICTs in education on a large scale, if any group proposes them. The Govt, he said, will work with all interested parties and will be inclusive in their approach. When told that in the current Maharashtra standard 8 text book, for example, there are brand names mentioned in the text and logos shown in the illustrations, he said that their department does not interfere with textbook content, since that is looked after by the experts of the Maharastra Text Book Bureau. When we suggested that it was the Education Department's role to set policy guidelines, such as not to carry brand names, the Secretary agreed with this in in principle. We suggested that we can help in (i) designing a curriculum for students that focusses on broad concepts from ICT that help develop thinking skills, as well as specific usage skills, (ii) writing books that can implement this curriculum, in a vendor-neutral manner, (iii) designing curriculum for teachers and iv) implementing teacher training programmes After listening to the delegation, the Secretary asked us to submit a proposal to contribute to the effective dissemination of ICT skills within the school system in Maharashtra . The team agreed to do this within two weeks and to subsequently explore possibilities of reaching an MoU with the Government of Maharashtra. We will keep you posted as the story develops. -- Dr. Nagarjuna G.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Internet Blockage
by Deepak Kashyap 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

We are connected in star topology with no domain controller. All the computers are connected to workgroup. The Mail server (Ubuntu Server 8.04LTS+Postfix) runs on vmware running on Win2k pro with bridge network configuration. Certain computers have access to internet but when the mailsever is working we are unable to access the net . We need to shutdown the VM / computer to be able to access the net. I did a http sniff from my 'Host' OS which was showing unusual amount of traffic been sent out by the mailserver. I felt it was because of a bounced mail which it keeps trying to send repeatedly, so I created a local mail archiving address , but this too does not solve the problem. All computers access the internet via a netgear router. Before a computer crash the same mailserver image used to work fine. Hope you can guide me on this See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you. Check out Yahoo! Buzz. http://in.buzz.yahoo.com/

Internet Blockage
by Deepak Kashyap 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Dear Members, I am facing a very strange problem. I have set up a small mail server for my organization running of ubuntu 8.04LTS server using postfix & dovecot +Get mail It downloads mail from our mail server and passes to local users .Outgoing mail has to be routed via ISP (sify's) SMTP server . The whole thing runs on vmware server 2.0 When the mail server is on the the rest of the organization cannot access mail , the moment I turn off the VM image , all of us get the access. All the computers are connected to net via a netgear router acting as gateway. I tried http sniff and found huge amounts of data going through the server though no one seems to have sent anything.. How can I solve this ? With regards See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you. Check out Yahoo! Buzz. http://in.buzz.yahoo.com/

[OT]: MSRTC Online Reservation
by Roshan 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Folks, I travel from Pune to Mumbai and back regularly. I don't reserve tickets usually, but I thought of doing so this time. I booked my tickets through the MSRTC Volvo online reservation center at Parihar Chowk, Aundh. To my surprise, I was in for a shock. They were using Mozilla Firefox as the browser and the application was made in PHP. Wow! I was initially assuming that the Firefox was used on Windows, but when I went close, I realized, it was Fedora Linux. Wow! Amazing Superb! I'm so happy to see something like this! Have you had any such experiences in the past? Is MSRTC using Linux distros at all its booking centers? -- Roshan Baladhanvi

Regarding Rony's comment about slax
by Suhit Kelkar 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Hi, This email is not very off-topic for this forum, hopefully. There was an interesting turn of phrase in Mr. Rony's email, the one in which he refers to Slax as a 'bomb' with a positive connotation. Now in American and British English, to bomb or to have bombed is a slang term for a flop. If you have noted any new/ potentially new phrases of slang in Indian English, but preferably those more directly related to F/OSS than the above hypothetical example, would you consider dropping me a line? With a large enough number of samples, a collaborative glossary of FOSS slang from India could be compiled and released under a Creative Commons/FreeDoc license. Please drop me an email about anything interesting. Collaborators and critics welcome. Just a thought. Suhit Kelkar.

Samba server
by Mukund Deshmukh 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hi, I have a samba server which is servicing window and linux machines. This server has /temp directory with 777 permission. This directory is used for file sharing among all users. This directory is shared in samba with file creation mask 755. When window machine writes to it, the file is correctly created as 755, but when linux machine writes to it the file is created as 700. This file can not be read by other users. What needs to be done for linux machine to write as 755? Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Linux Graphical Apps
by RSCL Mumbai 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi, I use AutoIT to develop small windows applications which make life simpler. One such application I developed & use is a "PrintScreenRecorder". Its a small application which resides in the system tray and activates when "F1" is pressed. The application will simulate a "ALT + PrintScreen" key press, start paint.exe, paste the image in paint and then save it as .jpg. This prevents me from doing all this manually. I know, there are 100s of better ways of doing this using windows function, DLL and what not; but you see, I am not a programmer. I just use simple tools like AutoIT3 which helps a non-programmer like me to do all with in about 30-60 minutes of time using simple BASIC like scripting. I do not need knowledge of VB, .NET, DLLs, and so much more. I have numerous such application which make life of a layman like me so much more simpler . Once I move to Linux Desktop, I will need some such tools (like AutoIT3) which can help me develop such small applications. Doing my bit on google, I have come across programming languages like Python, Ruby, C, C++. For creating GUIs, I am suggested Qt / GTK. But I need some simple scripting tools which can help me create such applications without having to learn Python, Ruby, C, C++ in detail. I am sure there are application (like AutoIT3) which will help me create small GUI based application for my linux desktop. Application which can interact with MySQL, Firefox, OS functions etc. Seeking help from Linux experts who can point me to such tools which will help me. Thx Sandeep
