Overquoting and me toos - please stop
by Philip Tellis 26 Feb '06

26 Feb '06

People, when replying to mails, please take a little time to make your fellow luggers' lives a little less difficult. Refrain from overquoting and sending me-too mails. Overquoting happens when you include a very large number of lines from the original mail just to include one or two lines of your own at the bottom. Your lines will almost certainly get lost. It's better to delete everything that is irrelevant to your reply, including old signatures and headers. Me-too mails happen when you reply to a reply for the sole purpose of saying 'me-too'. Do this only in the case of a poll, and not in any other case. If you do it, make sure you do not overquote. Standard rules of top-posting, upside down quoting, and long lines also apply. If you're not sure what they mean, search the net. Thanks, Philip -- Any given program will expand to fill available memory.

RIP M$office? Not yet but ....[OT]
by JTD 25 Feb '06

The NSW govt. is replacing MSoffice with Staroffice. "Sun Microsystems has scored a publicity coup ahead of the much-heralded arrival of Microsoft chairman Bill Gates in Australia, with a NSW government minister announcing today Sun would replace Microsoft in providing an e-mail and calendar system across 1,500 users in the state Roads and Traffic Authority. The move represents one of the largest rollouts of non-Microsoft based software within the state government. " http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/0,2000061733,39151355,00.htm -- rgds jtd

Differential backups with tar.
by Nadeem M. Khan 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

Hi. I've been trying to get differential backups with tar. I've got it working nice and fine except for one problem. If a file is modified after the last full backup, it gets included in my differential backup, as it should. But my differential backup also includes directories that have not been modified since the last full backup. These directories get included as empty directories. The files in them (rightly) do not get included in the differential. To create a full backup I do: tar cvf /backups/full.tar /home To create a differential, I use the timestamp of the full backup archive as a reference: tar cvf /backups/diff.tar --newer="`date -r /backups/full.tar`" /home Works well, except for the directory inclusion part. Am I missing something? Regards, NMK.

big indian banks dont allow firefox
by Harshal 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

sorry guys, i know this had been discussed earlier, but cant seems to find in archive. i wanted to know where to blacklist sites those openly do not support Firefox. the one recently launched by an indian bank (IDBI) for online share trading, http://www.idbipaisabuilder.in/ gives out this ridiculous message when viewed in FireFox, Sorry. This site can be viewed only using Microsoft Internet Explorer ver. 5.x and there is one more web site by another big indian bank, icici, their general insurance site, http://www.icicilombard.com/app/Calculators/two-wheeler-calculator.asp and, http://onlinemanager.icicilombard.com/icici/netproducts/view_policy.asp?Pol… though they are not as arrogant as idbi, but the pages above simply dont load in firefox. any ideas how to make sure they hear us? writing to web master, i dont have many hopes, unless they are pressured from above (sometimes i wonder, how these web masters get jobs, i mean, should it be the first thing on his mind to use a standard HTML so that is can be viewed from any browser?)

The subject line is too generic. To give credit where it is due, I use ICICI Bank's online facility and it works fine on Firefox. I also have an account with HDFC and cannot recall having any problems with it (though the last time I used it was many months ago). On the other hand, the site for the US Visa application really sucks on Firefox. Venky

Device Drivers for the Linux Desktop
by Venkatesh Hariharan 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Am forwarding a mail that members of this GLUG may find useful. Venky In recent times the desktop is the focus for GNU/Linux Operating systems. This includes making the desktop experience 'just-work'. To make that happen, a large number of peripheral devices need to be enabled namely, printers (laser jets, dot matrix), scanners, web cameras, modems, biometric devices, smart cards and the like. https://sourceforge.net/projects/oss-drivers/ is a Red Hat initiated (and Red Hat sponsored) project which intends to be a repository of Open Source Drivers for peripheral devices which are popularly used with a modern desktop Linux Operating System. The project has started off with a small subset of peripheral devices but it requires more input in terms of which devices are important for the desktop experience. Details for the devices includes make/model/manufacturer name (and perhaps if a website URL is available) To put across the device requests, one might use the oss-drivers-devicerequests(a)lists.sourceforge.net mailing list or the forums (https://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=157095) or even the Feature Request Tracker (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=157095). If all of the methods fail then drop a mail to sankarshanm(a)users.sourceforge.net with [Device Request] in the subject line. The files for this project would be released under GPL (or compliant licenses). We also welcome developers who would like to contribute, test out, report bugs and sort of get into the thick of things. Regards Sankarshan sankarshanm(a)users.sourceforge.net

Net Monitor
by Rony Bill 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

Hello All, I was looking for a simple net monitor that provided the two monitor icons and gave visual indications of Tx/Rx traffic. My system, Kubuntu 5.10. For Kde, I found 'knemo'. I downloaded this and it now provides the two monitor icons indicating net traffic. When you run it for the first time, you need to add your net interface to the empty list.

mod_authz_ldap and ssl
by agencies_ad1＠sancharnet.in 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Hello, I am running RHEL4 ES and httpd comes with mod_authz_ldap. It seems there is no support for ssl in mod_authz_ldap but I can't believe that. However, I cannot see a single thing mentioned about ssl or certificates on the mod_authz_ldap homepage except client cert mapping. I neeed it to work over ldaps. Can you confirm that is does not support ldaps ? If i'm wrong, what directives can you use to point it to the cert file etc... I'm not using client certs. I just want to use ssl between httpd and the ldap box for authenticating users to webapps. Thanks Regards, Komal ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using NWebmail, BSNL's Webmail Program

Something this list should read...
by Mrugesh Karnik 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

This is for all those people involved in the recent flamewars, especially the "RTFM/Google" flamewars. Read this link that I've posted below, which points to the "KDM - KDE root problem" thread on the Gentoo-User mailing list. I think people should notice the obvious difference in the attitude of both the original poster, who's a newbie asking what may seem like a stupid question to the experienced users, and these very experienced users who are replying to him. Here's the link: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/153496 Mrugesh

BEST Route Database
by Shekhar Krishnan 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

All: I have recently acquired the latest bus timetables, route information, and index of stop and location names from the transport planning wing of the BEST, which can be downloaded on http://freemap.in/data/best_transport in dbf format. If anyone in the community is interested in developing further applications with this database, please get in touch with me off list. In collaboration with BEST, a group of us are attempting to build a free (as in beer and speech) map-based transport information system, which will connect this route database to the Mumbai Free Map on http://mumbai.freemap.in -- we need volunteers with GPS devices to help us geo-reference the bus shelters and routes in their localities, as well as help in project development. I can be reached on this e-mail, or drop by #crit.org.in on irc.freenode.net.

Kmail, Gmail problem about seeing own's posts...
by Dinesh Joshi 15 Feb '06

15 Feb '06

Hi, For those of you who are using Gmail with POP and Kmail and are unable to see their own replies, upgrade to KDE 3.4 or later. They seem to have fixed this issue. When I first started using Kmail with Gmail's POP servers, Kmail wouldn't fetch my own replies from Gmail's inbox. I could see my replies in the web interface but Kmail decided to ignore them. Recently I switched over to FC4 and the default Kmail client fetches my replies. Alas, this machine is still on FC2 and KDE 3.2 :( Just thought the list would like to know. ciao! -- Dinesh A. Joshi

Sixth Annual Baramati Initiative on ICT and Development
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 15 Feb '06

15 Feb '06

[Would be great to have some GNU/Linux visibility here. -FN, Co-founder, BytesForAll] http://www.baramatiinitiatives.org/event_profile.htm Sixth Annual Baramati Initiative on ICT and Development Baramati, Maharashtra, India – March 9 - 11, 2006 Co-Organized by: Vidya Pratishthan's Institute of Information Technology & YES BANK The Potential of E-Agriculture This is the sixth in a series of conferences organized by Vidya Pratishthan's Institute of Technology (VIIT) in Baramati, Maharashtra, India. This year, the conference will focus on the use of Information and Communication Technology in Agriculture (e-Agriculture), exploring avenues through which governments, NGO's, development agencies and corporates can work to successfully promote e-agriculture to benefit the rural economy. Though over 65 percent of India's population resides in rural areas, with majority working in agriculture and allied areas, it contributes to a mere 23 percent of total GDP. Meanwhile, the services sector has raced ahead on the back of the phenomenal growth in the IT and ITES sectors,. The agents that funneled their growth - technology, information, and efficient processes - now need to be chanelised into the agriculture sector and assist India's remaining six fifty million to augment their earning power. Rural areas are predominately under-developed with poor infrastructure, electricity and roads and Indian farmers - like many of their counterparts across the world - are sustaining themselves on archaic methods and processes. To achieve a sustainable level of food production it is necessary that they have seamless access to: * Information on weather, production and cultivation techniques, seeds and fertilizers, plant nutrients and water usage * Funds and liability coverage through agri-finance and agri-insurance * Assistance from universities on new techniques (such as biotechnology) used to increase production yield * Market infrastructure like warehouses and Cold-chain management Thus, creative delivery of information and other resources to farmers becomes vital. E-agriculture aims to harness the potential of information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance the dissemination of vital information on agriculture to the rural population. Various agencies - including government, corporates and NGO's - have utilized ICT to implement innovate solutions and facilitate the access to knowledge. The Baramati Initiative seeks to synergize these learnings through presentations and panel discussions involving not only experts and practitioners from NGOs, corporations and government agencies, but also the grassroots partners , the ultimate beneficiaries. Panels include: * Innovative Practices showcasing the benefits of ICT for the Agriculture Sector * Role of ICT in facilitating Agri-Finance and Agri-Insurance * Research on use of ICT in Agriculture * Government and E-Agriculture: Government’s Support for E-Agriculture * Corporate experiences – Trade facilitation through ICT * The Power of Collaboration: Success stories * The Future of E-Agriculture and Critical success factors Further, the annual conference will continue to act as a platform for information exchange , exploring ways in which information and communication technology is being used as a tool to empower the poor. The event is a learning opportunity for participants allowing them to: * Interact directly with grassroots partners i.e. people who are using this technology, and to learn from them the difference that ICT has made a difference in their lives * Meet and interact with individuals and organizations that are financing these efforts * Learn about new trends via exhibits and demonstration booths The Baramati Concept The basic concept behind this event is to highlight the enormous potential of digital technologies and digital economy to help poor communities. Poverty-alleviation organizations, social entrepreneurs, government institutions, corporate enterprises and even uneducated, village entrepreneurs are continuously developing technological solutions to serve the often-overlooked customers at the bottom of the pyramid. These solutions are bringing the benefits of the digital age-increased access to markets, education, environmental information, and government services - to communities around the world. In so doing, they are helping to build the business, economic, and social cases for investing in systems and infrastructure needed to serve the poorest of the poor. Together, they are helping to empower hundreds and millions of the world's underprivileged to become agents of their own development. The purpose of Baramati initiative is to showcase how ICT is being employed to provide sustainable solutions to the needs of poor communities. The conference takes place in Baramati, a village located in rural Maharashtra where an ecosystem using ICT to aid the rural economy has been successfully created. This conference attracts over 150 participants each year with over 30-40 foreign participants. Over the last 5 years, the Baramati Initiative has become one of the key forums for people to exchange information on innovative efforts in the field of ICT and Development.
