Anyone having experience with Python (code level) can review the code and others can test functionality :) Thanks.. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Donn <donn.ingle(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Jun 28, 2009 at 1:14 PM Subject: [fp] Fonty Python 0.4 - Beta test help please To: fontypython(a)googlegroups.com Hello, Apologies for the spam on this list. I don't know what to do about it. I am aiming for a 0.4 release soon and need a spot of help. If you are in the mood, could you take the latest trunk for a run and let me know what breaks! Get it fresh by: svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/fontypython/trunk Or from: http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/fontypython/ (look for version 0.4 -- which might not be there for a few hours yet.) I need to know: 1. i18n -- still working? Many translations will be broken cos I changed stuff. 2. Functionality. I am suffering "code bleh" -- I can't tell if the app does what it's supposed-to or not. Just too close to the trees to see the etc. Have to check a)The command-line b)The Gui c)The help. 3. Bugs. If you use Savannah to report them, please email me a warning too. Once I get your feedback and fix any bugs, our friendly packager will be unleashed and FP-0.4 will hit the Universe! :D Many thanks, Donn. -- home: http://otherwise.relics.co.za/ 2D vector animation : https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/things/ Font manager : https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fontypython/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "fontypython" group.

Look at this real situation. What should we do with such terrorists sitting in the educational sector. On one hand we are facing terrorism from companies like Microsoft which will play all these dirty games and to help them the other side is our government where such currupted pimps are sitting to spoil all the educational system by denying even the basic freedom of choosing a software as small as a web browser. happy hacking.

Printing to a Print Server
by Cyril Chacko 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Dear All, I need to print to a Print Server, The print server is simply a Box with 3 ports to connect the printers (2 USB + 1 Serial). In Windows XP, the procedure to setup the printer is to install a driver for the print server called EZ Print by SMC. Create a Connection as if it is local and give the IP:Port Number to the configuration. Install the driver for the Printer and you are set. I have added a printer for ipp print using the CUPS web interface with the device URI as http://<IP>:631/ipp/PID<PortNumber> as int the windows printer configuration it looks like <IP>;PID<PortNumber>. The Error I get is Remote Device not Available. Current Device URI: http://<IP>:631/<PortNumber> I have tried many permutations and combinations and now Cups keeps on trying and remains at Processing and does nothing further. The following ports are open on the Print server. Telnet HTTP 80 Printer 515 IPP 631 Connecting to the Telnet/HTTP Port gives me the Admin menu for the Print Server. Any pointers will be welcome. Regards, Cyril Chacko -- Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Make sure they are on you.

extremely weird bug in Fedora
by Kenneth Gonsalves 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

hi, I just upgraded my FC10 to FC11. Booted from dvd and chose 'upgrade'. After upgrade, I did yum update. And my open office 2.x got replaced by 3.x, all my address books, book marks, passwords etc were all in the correct places. Everything worked out of the box. Obviously this is a bug. How do I report it and get it rectified. (The chicken I had bought to sacrifice in order to get the OO upgrade done remains alive) -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [Flame Bait] Open Office not upgradable in Linux but possible in Windows.
by Praveen A 23 Jun '09

(Sorry, my device support only top posting) The term Open Source was coined by some members of the Free Software movement around 1998. This was started as a campaign to promote Free Software among businesses by not talking about ethical aspects, but only practical benefits of Free Software developing methods. Many people becomes uncomfortable, especially businesses, when talking about ethical responsibilities, so some people thought it would help the movement not to talk about uncomfortable things if the end result is larger community. But practically all open source code out these - using licences approved by open source initiative - is also free software - using licenses approved by free software foundation. Only exception is reciprocal license, which is considered as open source but not free software. But there is not much code that uses this licenses. What Krishnakanth was talking about is copyleft. Free Software foundation encourages everyone to use a copyleft license to protect the commons, but it is not a mandatory requirement for a free software. I suggest every one to read the free software definition again. BSD licensed code is as much free software as GPL licensed code. Protective and permissive licenses are two methods of distributing free software. - praveen On Jun 22, 2009 5:51 AM, "Raj Mathur" <raju(a)linux-delhi.org> wrote: On Monday 22 Jun 2009, Krishnakant wrote: > That is a mis interpritation of free software. > Free so... Once again, please do not mix up licences with philosophies of the free software and open source movements. OSI recognises the GPL as an Open Source licence, and FSF recognises the BSD licence as a Free Software licence. There are multiple issues here, which are unfortunately being made into a khichdi by this thread: 1. The philosophies of the free software and open source movements. 2. The methodologies the FS and OS movements use, advocate and propagate to achieve their ends. 3. Strong and weak copyleft licences, the reasons for their existence, and their effects. Choose any one you like and and discuss it to your heart's content, but, as Monsanto would say, please do not cross-pollinate ideas of one stream with facts from another!

How can I secure my server from DoS attack ?
by Neelesh Gurjar 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi, I have a web server which has CentOS Linux 2.6.18-028stab059.6-ent kernel and Apache 1.3.37 running on it. 2 days back I got one script to test DoS attack on website. It is called slowloris.pl from http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/ I run that script against my server and it worked. It stopped my website for some time. That time all other services like SSH were working fine. Can anybody suggests any configuration changes at Apache and OS/Kernel level to prevent from this type of attack ? Currently I am using following settings: Timeout 300 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 5 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 StartServers 5 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 Then Kernel settings are like : tcp_keepalive_time 7200 tcp_keepalive_time 9 tcp_keepalive_intvl 75 tcp_syn_retries 5 tcp_synack_retries 5 tcp_fin_timeout 60 -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

[Flame Bait] Open Office not upgradable in Linux but possible in Windows.
by Rony 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hello, Some time back I had put up a challenge to the list to install Open Office 3 in Ubuntu 8.04 and looks like no one has been able to do that. Well in Windows XP you simply uninstall the older Open Office version and install the latest version. You could even install OOo3 over the older 2.x version. So on _this_ point I declare Windows XP the winner. ;-) On Saturday I have to remove Ubuntu 8.04 from 5 machines and install Ubuntu 9.04 simply because upgrading Open Office is not possible in Linux. -- Regards, Rony.

Problem with Division
by Mayank 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hi, I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find any appropriate answer elsewhere and hence this post. Today while doing some calculation using bc I found a very peculiar thing. I was performing an operation -2 % -3 and the software reported the answer as -2. Now -2 > -3 and if I remember correctly then in divison operation the remainder is less than the divisor. So how come in this case the answer is not coming properly. Is it a software flaw or there is some mistake in my understanding of the division operation ? Thanks and regards, Mayank -- Today is tommorrow I was so worried about yesterday ...
