[Commercial] Service, support, training in Ubuntu
by shirish 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Hi all, We are an p2p group named wikiocean (www.wikiocean.net) which uses & supports free software in whichever way possible. Most of the time when people are looking for solutions on GNU/Linux platform they are unsure of service support. In that context we are looking to make a database of freelancers, small & medium support centres who are providing GNU/Linux service support to Individuals, NGO's, small & medium organisations . As GNU/Linux is a wide-wide world for time efficiency's sake we have chosen ubuntu as it has the commercial support of Canonical while at the same time has the technical stability & expertise courtesy the Debian Universe. So if you are interested in knowing more, please join http://groups.google.com/group/wikiubuntu. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

bluetooth from IVT Corp.
by Arun Khan 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

I have a bluetooth USB device from IVT Corp. Allegedly it has the CSR chip set (from the bluez hardware list). As soon as I plug it in I get the following message ad inifitum with the numbers in the [] ever increasing. [219.240000] hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 92 Searched for the above on the 'Net but with no conclusive solution. # lsusb -v does list the device but with a MAC address of 11:11:11:11:11:11 Under WinXP (with supplied drivers) it still shows the above MAC address. Is this is a legal MAC address? Any pointers to solutions appreciated. TIA -- Arun Khan

Hello All, I am planning to buy a usb-bluetooth device from Lam. Road, that's compatible with Linux too. What are the devices used by you and how easy is it to setup and use? On the net BlueSoleil does not have any Linux drivers for download. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

bsnl database migration
by krazy lizard 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Dear friends, i'm trying to automate the process of finding numbers from the bsnl cd in one of my application. bsnl also provides directory in the form of a cd. i was trying to migrate the database of bsnl customers to mysql. the problem is that the cd is made to run specifically on windows using Visual foxpro & dbase. i can migrate the database, but there is another problem, the address field in the database is encrypted, so i get all the required data in the tables except the addresses. if i try to find the numbers manually, it shows the address but otherwise it's encrypted. any suggestions or work around to this problem? regds, krazy.

Linux on laptops: furthering the cause
by Nishit Dave 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

List, I wanted to bounce some thoughts off your collective minds. I recently saw an ad for a cheap laptop launched by HCL - probably trying to compete with the XO and the Eee, with a 7" LCD. Contrary to their image so far of being friendly to FOSS, they seem to be preloading MS-ware (discount versions?) on this PC. I think FOSS starts with a big handicap when manufacturers offer preloaded Windows even in case of computers intended for home or educational use. Should the community start the two following, connected initiatives? 1. Lobby local computer makers like HCL and Zenith to offer an option for loading Linux or selling systems without a pre-loaded OS (and with a tiny little discount). The pre-installed OS can be on a secondary partition, to allow Windows to be installed on a primary partition at the user's option later. I know, the manufacturers would risk paying the Microsoft Tax (TM) heavily if they tried to do anything like this, but this could at least help bring an unfair practice out into the open. 2. Build up an effort to force Microsoft to let its boot loader recognize and (hopefully) accommodate other operating systems that have been installed previously. This would at least keep them intact instead of being overwritten / rendered unusable when the user inevitably installs Windows, licensed or unlicensed, thus keeping up the possibility that it will get used sometimes, even out of curiosity. Your constructive comments please.
