[Cross Post] Ubuntu Getting Strong On Servers?
by Swapnil Bhartiya 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

I trust most of the friends are aware of this. There has been a lot of doubts over using Ubuntu on servers. But recently Wikimedia and Internet Achieve have started to migrate to Ubuntu servers. I guess this will build confidence in those who want to use Ubuntu on servers.

For those who fear unwanted spaces sneaking in-between the commands, GUI based file manager is preferred. This is one of the case where I suggest using a GUI tool while working on GNU/Linux platform. Konqueror, Nautilus etc. are good tools to remove selected files and directories from the file system. If Xwindow is not installed on the system, then mc can be used instead. They also allow recovery of deleted files as deletion usually means automagically moving them to your trash folder. Raghu

(ACD FotoSlate) By default wine installs software in ~/.wine/drive_c. Just delete the directory ~/.wine if you don't want to use any existing wine run applications. Running following command from the console should be good enough for this. rm -r ~/.wine WARNING: Make sure that there is no white spaces within ~/.wine Raghu

Suggestions needed for Wireless Router
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi, I need a wireless router for network setup at my home. Basically for internet connectivity for 2 laptops and my desktop and for occasional other extra devices with wifi capabilities if and when required. Now what I want to know is - what would be good wifi router which could work across a 2 BHK flat and also work when the laptop/device is in an opposite flat, separated just by a passage and walls. The passage width is not more than couple of meters. I am looking at this [1] model, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Since all configurations in GNU/Linux are stored in plain text files, usually it is easy to figure out the root cause of such problems. Just move ~/.kde to ~/kde-old and re-login to the system in KDE. Then do diff -r ~/.kde ~/kde-old | less If there are missing files in ~/.kde or its sub-folders, then get them from ~/kde-old and check keyboard by re-login. Once that test is over and problem is not noticed, then merge change-sets from files in ~/kde-old to ~/.kde and repeat the testing. By analyzing the change sets in each file and then merging such sections from older file-set to the working one, we can figure out when keyboard settings break. If the deviations in files are more (heavily customized KDE apps), usually it will take longer to figure out the cause of the problem. Raghu

Freedom Walk creating enthusiastic discussions about Free Software
by Praveen A 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

"The group of people we meet is very interesting - a very good mix of students, entrepreneurs and local software programmers. The discussion borders around the relevance of free software, the risks of opening source - especially in the context of local programmers, and software licensing issues. A lively debate ensues, and the matter is deferred for indepth discussion at a later date. The response is absolutely thrilling, given that this is exactly the kind of response hoped for from a local software community." http://www.freedomwalk.in/content/28/freedom-walk-day-8-kuttiyadi-to-thotti… They have completed first week successfully. The response have been amazing. I hope it will help make Free Software community across Kerala vibrant. Also with the kind of debate that is happening, I'm sure we will see a good response from more of the local software developers.

12 Oct '08

hi, I have a mandriva spring 2008 box with kde which has 3 users. From today, for one of the users the keyboard does not work after entering kde, but for the other users it works perfectly. For the user for whom it doesnt work, login screen works, she can type password, and thats it. Any clues? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/
