by Ganesh Gajare 29 Nov '08

29 Nov '08

Hello to all, I have faced two problem using OpenSuse in my one of the friends laptop. When i boot in open suse mouse pad does not support, it does not work. While the same thing just for checking what is the real problem may be, I tried to boot in Windows, and it support, it works. Second problem is Linux allows windows partition to mount, read write data in that partitions. Using openSuse i tried to use windows "ntfs" filesystem partion, which before do not allow mounting partition, but after using umonunt and remounting technique it allow to mount. I can list the data from that partition but not allow to create folder or edit data? Error: Permission Denied, Even i change to root as sudo user giving the same problem. Please give me solution!!!!

FOSS for enabling collective decision making /voting
by Kussh Singh 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

Hi Dinesh, Saw your blog entry on electoral reforms. Is there any FOSS software which will help the voting process? I think we really need such enabling tools/ category of FOSS softwares. Once it becomes easy and convenient to vote, and it is ingrained as a habit from childhood, maybe some of your concerns will be addressed and India will become a REAL democracy rather than a SHAM one it is at present. The software would fulfill a need in myriad applications e.g. in 1 Housing societies AGMs 2 Company/stockholders Annual General Meetings 3 in panchayats 4 in classrooms 5 in companies, schools, adventure groups, theater audiences, neighbourhood meetings, in ngos etc etc --i.e. wherever collective decision making is required. I tried searching on http://directory.fsf.org and other places but have yet to find such a software. Maybe somebody will make it someday Almost all Swiss citizens participate in voting on important issues thru the sms/mobile route and they vote atleast once a month since it is so convenient. This is what I learned from a person who came to tell us about RTI from the CHRI -- www.humanrightsinitiative.org.

Kubuntu 8.10 on Acer Aspire One (AAO) [Installation Notes]
by Rony Bill 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

Hello, Before attempting Kubuntu 8.10, the AAO was tried out with Kubuntu 8.04 using a regular external HDD controller connected to a Mosher Bayer DVD R/W. It would keep stopping at the 'initramfs' prompt. Then I tried creating a USB LiveCD in my pen drive but that was not successfull in booting properly. Then the Kubuntu 8.10 CD ( which did not boot till the desktop in my Intel 845 GEBV2 PC) was tried out and it was able to boot into the live desktop on the AAO. My pre-installation worry was the single partition already installed with XP Home and the hidden rescue partition getting knocked out. I wanted dual boot. However fdisk -l showed that the rescue partition was the first one and the rest of the disk was XP. During Kubuntu 8.10's installation, in the partitioning section, there was already an option of dividing the XP partition into 50% XP and 50% Ubuntu. Installlation went smoothly and did not damage the XP pre-installed. On booting into XP after installing Kubuntu, Windows detected a file system error and went into automatic scandisk ( don't stop that process ). Then it automatically rebooted and went on to boot normally and all was well. Kubuntu 8.10 detected everything properly except the wireless LAN. The wired LAN kept going on/off even after upgrading all packages. However after a few reboots it appeared to take the wired connection properly. The wireless issue is simple to resolve by following instructions given in this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L#WLan For the webcam this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne talks about 'luvcview'. It works fine and has many detailed settings. Its buttons are tiny but anyway results are good. Don't follow the wireless instructions given here. Go to the earlier link for 8.10. I haven't tried the card slots as I don't have any such cards. However the website has some information on it. A word of caution. Don't mess with the wireless on/off switch on the front side of the AAO. It disables the wireless well but getting it back was next to impossible. Repeated attempts to bring it to life failed. In XP I would get the on-screen display for enable and disable but no sign of the hardware itself. Finally I shut down the system and gave the switch some exercise. That brought it back to life. Whew! Anyway this netbook and Kubuntu 8.10 are like fish and water. Installation with live partitioning is fully automatic. This mail is being sent from the AAO using the wireless connection. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Kubuntu on Acer Aspire One (AAO)
by Rony 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hello, I am trying to boot a live Kubuntu 8.04 ( KDE 3 as well as 4 ) CD into the Aspire One with XP Home pre-loaded but the boot stops at an initramfs prompt. There is an external HDD adapter that is plugged into the brand new Moser Bayer IDE DVD R/W and this combination was able to read media in Debian Etch's desktop, just like plugging in a pen drive. In the AAO, on hitting F12, the third option is the USB DVD drive and I get the initial boot options. After selecting the default live option, the boot process moves up to the initial part and then stops at the initramfs prompt. I believe this is due to some driver issue. Has anyone installed Kubuntu 8.04 on this netbook? The sites on google mostly mention Ubuntu 8.10 for this netbook so I will be downloading the Kubuntu 8.10 ISO. However what are other user experiences on this list? -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Hi, I have a BSNL internet connection. When i am using azureus, after some time, my download stops, it again starts & does this couple of times. Every time, firestarter indicates a blocked connection. If i check the firestarter for blocked connections, i see this (not in any order): Port Source Protocol Service 57084 192.168.1.1 ICMP Unknown 4024 192.168.1.1 ICMP Unknown 62159 192.168.1.1 ICMP Unknown I tried to closely monitor this thing, as far i can tell, when ever this happens, download speed goes to 0 & then again increases. But some times i have to reset the modem. I am using Ubuntu 8.04. I have checked my pc at grc.com (i went through http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812) It shows my pc as passed the test. Can any body help in tackling this problem ? -- --------------------------------------- Microsoft gives you Windows, Linux gives you the whole house... -- regards, Manish

[Commercial -- well, not really] An Invitation
by Steve 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi, Being involved with linux now for a long time, I have always researched the level of linux compatibility before buying any new hardware. I recently needed to buy a cheap wireless USB adapter (cheap because, i think i'd probably use it only a couple months before my laptop's bmc4310 wireless card is nicely supported -- ehe, that's an entirely different topic -- no, i have not got it to work on Fedora 10). Well, this didn't turn out as easy as I expected. Sure, 90% USB wireless cards just work with linux, but what if I chose a random one and it turns out to be from that 10%, so, I began researching. Unfortunately, a lot of 'cheap' wireless cards, don't come with tech. specs, so you have no clue what chipset the card is based on. For example looking at http://tinyurl.com/6p8tc3 (ebay.com search URL), I didn't know what to buy. I would have to research each of those individually, eliminating by price. Anyways, long story short, I got frustrated with the fact that I have to do this 'research' every time I need some new hardware, so, I thought of setting this up: http://tuxcompatible.com This is a 'classifieds' site where people looking for linux compatible hardware (/software/periperals/devices/services ..etc), can shorten or eliminate the research step. I would like to invite hardware vendors (or request you to invite those hardware vendors you know) who know the linux compatibility of devices they sell, to create their listings here. To prospective buyers, I request, please let the vendors know that you learned about their product from tuxcompatible.com, so that they are encouraged to keep posting. ...and to anyone else, I welcome you to comment or suggest improvement. You may also choose to help me out -- http://tuxcompatible.com/drupal/node/2 Please read more at the site. Thank you for your time, regards, - steve

by Steve 13 Nov '08

Hi, Firstly, thanks all, for the comments about the site (I really appreciate it) and also about the suggestions on making bmc4310 work. I am sorry, I wasn't too clear about that bit, I should have said haven't got it working in my setup yet -- which means with WAP-PSK support. Right now, I am using the broadcom's (proprietory with binary blob) wl module[1] which works only in open networks (I have not tried WEP). Even using the windows driver with ndiswrapper works with just open and WEP enabled networks, not with WAP-PSK ...anyways, like I said, native upstream kernel support will come in a couple of months[2]. Anyways, about jtd's comments: > Plenty of resources are already available on the net. > However these are mostly about hardware available in the US and > Europe. Hardware available here are substantially different and for > shorter durations. So it is a constant battle to keep finding out the > best fit for linux. Exactly ! ...and that's the reason why I set up tuxcompatible.com. Most of the times, the hardware available locally would use same or similar chipsets, but they would be branded by different companies (sometimes chinese, taiwanese or korean) and this leads to confusion. The resources available on the net usually just discuss compatibility and/or performance. There is no (or at least no 'well known') linux centric *marketplace* online -- this is what I hope to achieve with tuxcompatible.com (or even encourage professional web-developers/companies to consider as an viable bussiness). > Further given the very random and one time requirements of desktop > users, their unwillingness to understand the soup they are in and > reluctance to change, supporting individual newbie desktops is a > major pain. Well, I totally agree with the unwillingness to understand compatibility issues ! My dad or Uncle (who are not just linux but /computer/ newbies) should not have to worry about the level of linux support a device has when purchasing it. It should *just work* ....of course this is far from ideal right now. The next best thing to do, IMHO, was to at least give then one place where they can go to purchase their hardware. That's what tuxcompatible.com hopes to achieve (or ever encourage ...blah blah ..) > Hardware compat is a minor issue. File formats and user > apathy are the main problems. Oh, that's is a different problem altogether. Users apathetic to change should best not venture to linux until they are ready, else it just screws up the experience for them. regards - steve -- Want hardware that Just Works on your linux box ?
