hello everyone me and my friends are doing an Video and Image processing experiment for which unfortunately we'r having to use MATLAB for WINDOWS..We'd love to do the work on the LINUX platform but unfortunately we are not aware of softwares wich would give us the same degree of control and freedom on the Linux platform..we're aware of Matlab for Linux...considering cost issues we'd like to learn about a more viable option. Any suggestion and guidance will be of great help!!! Thank you

I dont know the complete name of the motherboard but most ASUS based motherboards would be better. But before buying, just find out the chipset and the distros supported from here http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showcat.php/cat/37 There have been some issues with the drivers for NVidia according to the above mentioned website, but most have been solved. _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 If there's anything that you want to ask about related to computers and information technology email me at any of the following addresses 1) d_rosh2001(a)yahoo.co.in I think I should be able to help you If you don't know something, its always better to learn it and then experiment with components!

[COMMERCIAL] 6/12 mths exp Java Swinger. Eclipse/SWT preferred. JSP+linux a plus.
by Abhishek Daga 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hi, I am looking for a Java developer having 6 months to 1 year of experience. Having experience in Swing/SWT/Eclipse will be highly preferred. The work will mostly (3/4ths) be Java application programming and rest will be JSP. So you dont really have to know JSP as it can be picked up easily along the way. (atleast we hope so). Being a free country, salary will definitely be something that is mutually acceptable to both sides. It wouldnt work any other way would it? If you are interested or know anyone interested please ask them to email me their resumes in ASCII format as soon as possible. Thank you, Abhishek Daga *********************************************************************** Faith, by definition, defies evidence: it is untested and unshakeable, and is therefore in direct contradiction with science. *********************************************************************** __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I managed to get a SanDisk cf wi-fi card. I finally got the wi-fi card working with a little help from google. The light in the card goes blink-blink so I know its working. Now I want to connect my zaurus to my linux box over wi-fi. On the zaurus the wi-fi card has a ip of 192.168.129.203. I have tried to ping 192.168.129.202 (ip of eth1) fromthe zaurus but am unable to do so. Trying to ping the ip of the zaurus from the linux box gives an error saying detination host unreachable. The lights on the wi-fi card ligt up when I try to ping the zaurus. What do I need to do ? some pointers please. I can of course provide any more info required. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R.

bug in nautilius ?
by Mohan Nayaka 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

I thought I'd confirm with seniors here before filing a new bug in Nautilius. I took a 8-sec avi format video in today's session by Mark S at IIT. I tried to check its size via right-click->Properties in File Browser. Result: The window closed & opened my home folder again. Notes: The file was in my home folder. I moved it to a subdir & tried same action. The result was the same i.e. a new file browser opened again with my home folder. I have opened the file under the other evil OS & hence it is not corrupted. The file is attached. Regards, Mohan S N

[OT] PPPoE login failure - DLink 502t TriBand modem
by Arun K. Khan 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

I have a small "expect" script to login in to the modem and reboot the unit @ 08:00 and 00:00 hours. This was working fine up until a few weeks ago. Now, after a reboot (thru the expect script) the unit is unable to login to the MTNL network. The following log shows PPPoE login failure: <log-failure> Jan 1 12:00:25> Connecting PPPoE socket: 00:90:1a:41:78:b6 6b0b nas0 0x1000d378 Jan 1 12:00:25> Connect: ppp0 {--} nas0 Jan 1 12:00:25> PAP authentication failed Jan 1 12:00:25> Connection terminated.

I keep getting PPPoE login failure. In such case, I have had to open a trouble ticket and typically within 12-18 hours the unit is able to login successfully. Not sure if MTNL really did something or the problem auto corrected itself :( In both scenarios, the web interface "Status>ADSL" does display the "Line State" as connected. I first reset the unit to factory settings and reprogrammed my custom settings. That did not help. Then I reflashed the firmware on the unit and reprogrammed my custom settings - no help. I am wondering if I have a flaky modem and how to prove it. Talking to MTNL is of no help. According to them, if all the LEDs are on then my modem is good. Any pointers as to what could be wrong would be highly appreciated. TIA, -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside

Which Driver for SMC2635W??
by Linux Rocks 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

Hello all: I am having difficulties trying to get the right driver for the SMC2635W wireless card. I've done some searches in google but can't get to the right driver for this card. Some results say the card has a ADMtek chipset which uses the ADM8211 driver; others say is another (can't remember). Can someone please guide me to where I can get the correct driver. I tried downloading the ADM driver but it sends me a website where I cannot download it. I'm running Debian sarge and 2.6.15 kernel.

Does NVIDIA 128 MB RAM (Pine) AGP Card support 1280x1024 and play mpeg videos in X windows?
by Rishi 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hi I have a VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 86C326 5598/6326 (rev 0b) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) But I'm unable to play mpeg videos in 1280x1027 resolution. I need to change to 1024x768 resolution and then I am able to play videos I posted a message on the SiS forum here to get some help. http://www.winischhofer.at/sisforum/viewtopic.php?t=175 However, I'm assuming that it may not be possible. So therefore I wanted to know if I buy this video card: Pine, 128 MB NVIDIA AGP Card, FX model, that it would work on my Debian Sarge system - meaning get high resolution and play mpeg videos? Thanks Regards -- Rishi

QT Problem
by BIJU KRISHNAN 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Hi Luggers, I have kinda hit the roadblock trying to compile quickdc, a direct connect client. The ./configure ends with this error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I --disable-mt it ends with (library qt) not found. Being quite used to this mess of qt, I have done the following. 1. ln -s /usr/lib/qt-3.1/ /usr/lib/qt3 ## Created a symlink 2. Ran configure with the ./configure --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt-3.1 Gives the same error. Some inputs [root@bastion quickdc-kde-0.1.0]# rpm -qa | grep qt qt-3.1.2-13 qt-devel-3.1.2-13 [root@bastion quickdc-kde-0.1.0]# cat /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/kerberos/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib /usr/lib/sane /usr/lib/mysql /usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib Regards PP BIJU KRISHNAN --------------------------------- Yahoo!

[OT] ARP Layer 2 or 3 ?
by Shahed Moolji 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

For all you networking gurus :- Is ARP considered to be a layer 2 or layer 3 protocol ? I googled, but I cant still seem to get a proper answer. Although I tend to agree that its a L3 protocol, it does not encapsulate a L3PDU on to the Data Link Layer, as its messages are put directly in the data part of the L2 frame. Or is it best defined as a L3 protocol without any header ? Thanks Shahed

Proxy with username/password for apt-get and Synaptic
by Sanket Medhi 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

We have a proxy server in our college which I am handling. Every machine in the college has to enter a username/password to get access to the internet. The only problem I am facing is that there is no way to configure apt-get and Synaptic for the proxy alongwith username/password. They just give an option of entering a proxy server entry, nothing for username/password. Is there anything to configure proxy with username/password in apt-get and Synaptic? (Actually, there is one I know but its unethical and insecure to be used on the local network.) -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.

Jan 14th meet report.
by Rony Bill 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hello All, The Jan 14th meet was held at five gardens from 4 pm to almost 7.30 pm. It was attended by 12 people and the concept of meeting in a public place like a garden had a good response. Dr. Nagarjun even suggested an idea of having a wireless access point network to make the gardens hot spots for people to come in the free open space with their laptops and do their work without any restriction of wires or walls. The topics covered in the discussions were, faxing in Linux and later on we had a very interesting talk by Dr. Nagarjun on free software. For the faxing solutions, Dr. Nagarjun, Anurag and Benoy spoke about their experiences with fax softwares and Hylafax was the clear choice for everyone. Then Dr. Nagarjun gave a very in depth talk on the Free Software Movement. He updated us on how the software patents bill would have killed software freedom in India and how it was withdrawn in the nick of time after a lot of interaction with the Govt. and political parties. He went on to tell us the difference between open source and free software and how open source did not necessarily mean free software. Please note that here free is freedom, not price. He has also suggested conducting a Linux installation workshop for hardware vendors in Mumbai so that they can get an actual hands on experience with linux. They can be invited to bring their own setup, without monitors, to the workshop and go back with a working linux system. Overall it was a good meet and I am sure all those present share this view.

Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu on 22nd Jan at 2PM
by Venkatesh Hariharan 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu will address the Mumbai ILUG on 22nd Jan at 2PM at the FC Kohli Auditorium, Kanwal Rekhi School of IT (KRESIT), IIT Bombay. You can read more about Mark here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth and about Ubuntu Linux here: http://www.ubuntu-linux.org/ For directions to KRESIT, see: Getting to IIT Bombay IIT Bombay is located in an area called Powai in the Central suburb called KanjurMarg in Mumbai. The best way of reaching there is by a combination of Road and Rail. Mumbai has two main suburban train tracks respectively called after the Central and Western Railways. The suburban trains of Mumbai are called 'local' trains. If you are on the Central Railway, get down at Kanjurmarg or Vikhroli and take an auto to IIT. The auto will take around Rs. 10 - 15. To board any of the buses, you'll have to walk slightly till a bus stop on the main L.B.S.Road and take any Andheri/Borivali bound bus. The fare is around Rs. 3. If you are coming from the Western Railways, get down at Andheri and take any of the buses going to Mulund from the eastern side of the railway station. The fare would be roughly Rs. 6. Alternatively, you could take an auto which will take around Rs. 45 to IIT. Getting to KReSIT within IIT The new KReSIT building is now fully operational - one of the most impressive structures in the IIT-Bombay campus! The KReSIT building is the first big structure one comes across when entering IIT. Approximately a 5 minute walk from the Main Gate, it is situated on the right side of the road after Hostel 10 and the wide road going right to the Y-Point gate. It is equally close to the Y-Point gate; turn right after entering the Campus, and take the first left where you will see the Central School Ground. Continue walking and enter the second gate on the right. You can see the white and blue KReSIT building right away! Note that the building is not connected to the long corridor that links all the department building. Important landmarks close-by * Hostel-10 * Computer Center * SJM School of Management (in case you drift too far) A map of the campus is at: http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/contacts/visitors/ See you all at IIT Bombay on 22nd at 2PM.

Why patenting of software is a so dangerous and how it kills innovation. * Rony Bill raised some of the issues faced by hardware vendors while providing service to customers. The biggest problem faced by vendors is lack of person who are ready to experiment with something new. The Mumbai GLUG plans to conduct awareness workshops especially suited to hardware vendors/retailers, cyber cafe operators, jr-college students etc. Please get in touch with the list if you can help us in any respect. ---- *Details of next GLUG meet* Date: 12 February 2006 -> Agenda : to be decided -> Location: Some garden at another location. * Pictures: Pictures taken in this meet would be posted on ILUG-BOM picture gallery ``http://db.ilug-bom.org.in/pics/'' as soon as they are transfered to comp. * Upcoming Events: Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu/Canonical will address the Mumbai GLUG on 22nd Jan at 2PM.

Rohan, we tried just that, initially lincdaemon cribbed about not finding /root/.lincrc file, when we copied /etc/lincrc as /root/.lincrc, we still kept getting connection timed out. :-(. we used the latest version of linc-daemon. also, is the serveraddr is the same as the gateway IP that you see on Windows?

If > Linc-daemon doesnt work then it means the protocol has changed. Thats what I also feared, but have some renewed hope seeing that it has worked with both linc daemon and cyberoam. Anyways, shall try this weekend, and let you guys know. Thanks again to all of you for the prompt replies. p.s. maybe we should have a wiki page with details of any successful and working configs for various ISP's and connection methods. (ppp, wvdial, etc etc) I have compiled a list of wvdial.conf settings and some for kppp, but since I dont have all these accounts, I cannot confirm/test if they are really OK.
