7 star cable ISP
by Vivek Rai 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi Guys, I am trying to "convert" and persuade a friend of mine to Linux. His ISP is 7 star cable based "broadband". I tried searching on google, and found a forum posting about suggesting the use of linc daemon. However, we couldnt get it working. I suspect it was an authentication issue. His account page on the 7star website recommends use of cyberoamLinux client, and provides a download of it, but doesnt carry any specific guidelines on how to specifically configure it for 7 star settings. Has anyone used this ISP? What client did you use (linc daemon/ cyberoam/anything else)? Any pointers, sample config files that worked for the client, would be most welcome. All we have at hand is the gateway IP, username, password and the DNS servers. Thanks in advance, Vivek

High end animation softwares on linux
by Sejal Patel 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Dear Linuxers I work for a small animation/graphics studio.We use MAYA,Houdini and some other applications on windows. Now we are in a process of shifting the whole studio systems to linux.We have used debian as well as suse but we had issues with the installation of some application like XSI. So we are now using RedHat EL AS. Currently all is fine but we would like to use some kind of clustering software to use network rendering. This can speed up the rendering process. Anybody pointers on which software to use for this. Sejal Patel Linuxer!! Linux Registerd User : #406578

Gaim Locales
by Salil Wadhavkar 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Hi, I have gaim 1.5.0 on a Mandriva 10.1/kernel 2.6.8/x86 box. I also have IndLinux-Hindi-0.9 (Unnati) installed. Following the instructions in this page: http://freedomink.org/node/55 I now have Gaim in Hindi, but I can't seem to revert back to normal English Gaim. Not that it's bad but some of the hindi translations for the menus use vocabulary for which I have to refer to a dictionary. The only way I was able to get English Gaim was by (re)moving the file /usr/share/locale/hi/LC_MESSAGES/gaim.mo Without this file gaim loads with english menus. Is there a way to switch between hindi and english gaim using command line variables? I have also tried setting the locale environment variables to en_US.UTF-8 but still gaim loads with hindi menus. I would appreciate if anyone could suggest a solution. Thank you, Salil Wadhavkar.

help needed urgently for problem in linking the shared libraries ( .so )
by swapnil kamble 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

Hi all, I am Swapnil . I wanted to link the shared libraries . Let me tell you how I tried to link them but I am not too sure whether it is correct or not ,I did it according to tutorial . I wrote some libraries by using X lib for instance some header "test.h" in which I wrote function prototypes , a sample program sample.c and body of functions defined in header is in file def.c . As all files are in same dir then there no problem while compiling and running . Next I created Makefile it consists of following statements all: gcc -lX11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib/ -lncurses -lm sample.c def.c -o try till here everything is OK after this I modified Makefile to create shared libraries like this all: gcc -lX11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib/ -lncurses -lm -shared sample.c def.c -o try.so Shared object created successfully . then I copied header test,h to /usr/include then I copied try.so to /usr/X11R6/lib then I run command #ldconfig to update library database (No errors here) Next If try to compile program , then I get error for functions which I have included , "sample.c:(.text+0x2a3): undefined reference to `function_name' If you know something is wrong here or way is to do it this then please tell me immediately I would have been very thankful to them .

Hi: I'm one of the moderators of a mailing list for discussing Object Oriented Programming. Today, we received a request for a soft copy of some programming book.

Anchor Links to subjects/topics
by Roshan 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Hi, Was wondering whether, there could be some sort of "personalization" to the mailing list members. What do I mean by this, is very simple! Though the thought of having this appears to be quite easy but I really dont know how this mailing list is actually made up! In every email received, I get the list of subjects and I have to scroll down to any specific subject. Instead, Could anchor links given to those subjects to directly jump to a specific topic?

Think before you suggest such extreme steps. What happens after you kill all the politicians? I would rather suggest you to go out and vote for the best (least corrupt?) candidate available. Or be a candidate yourself. I believe killing somebody does not solve <em>any</em> problem. </aseem> > Stop denying the fact that we need to overhaul _ALL_ procedures in this > country.

When has > reservation made anybody stronger, more competent, more talented? <aseem> Is everyone really equal? Or are we just saying that? Open your eyes, Look around. Look at the matrimonial ads. Most of them specifically mentions even the sub-cast required. Don't make up your opinions just by looking at the BCs/OBCs in metros. And even in the metros the situation is far from good. Look at the workers at various construction sites/roads. Look at the beggars (Jari-mari, snake charmers etc) people cleaning the city, people sorting the junk, People doing all the dirty jobs they are from a specific section of our society. They don't know where their kids were born let alone the birth certificate and cast certificate. This is the section largely away from even primary education. And reservation does help people to become stronger. But again it is a gradual process which spans across generations. You cannot expect to undo the effects of a system which was running smoothly for millions of years within 50 odd years. There are tribes where deaths due to malnutrition are common. Being a father myself I can only imagine how it feels to watch your kid dying in front of your eyes due to hunger. That explains the existence of extremist groups like Naxalites. And reservations not reaching right people does not mean we should not have reservations at all. Just as we do require laws despite the numerous loopholes in it. <disclaimer>I do not get benefits from any of the reservations</disclaimer> </aseem> > When was the last time someone was judged based on his / her talent in > this country? > > Let me answer it for you. > > ***_NEVER_*** <aseem> Again I doubt if you really mean what you say. If we take this very list as a sample you will find that almost everybody is At the current position due to his/her talent. Even our President, Prime Minister, Finance minister are on those positions only due to their talent. I would expect you to be more responsible while making statements on a public forum. You just cannot make grossly incorrect statements like that. </aseem> > Oh boi. We are in deep shit, aren't we? :| > > We suck. India sucks. > > Mera Bharat Mahan.

I would rather stay back here and do my Rs. 0.02 worth of efforts to make this country a better place to live for the generations to come. Attitude expressed in your mail will do more harm than good to the nation. I am not overly patriotic who would cry after hearing "aye mere watan ke logo" or blame Pakistan at every opportunity. I strongly recommend reading the latest "Business Today". People _are_ thinking about the issues our country is facing and efforts are being made to improve the conditions.

FC4 package managing problems.
by Rony Bill 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Hello All, Some months back when there was a discussion on using a caching name server so at that time I used the local package manager to install bind and co. but at that time something had happened and the system went into a runaway process with the HDD continuously active. After a forced restart, the package manager showed bind and co. ticked (installed) but they are actually not in the system. When I uncheck to remove the packages, it gives an error that these packages were not found. Today I tried it out again but same result. So now I used yumx and selected 3 packages bind, caching-nameserver and chrootbind(?). This time too the system went into a tizzy and the hdd was running continuously and even the screen froze and went hollow (only outlines, no solids). Again I had to force restart. Is there any way I can clean up my act without a clean re-install? Thanks in advance and Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Dear All, I have installed 4 operating system on my laptop, XP, Win Server 2003, Ubuntu Linux 64 bit and Fedora Core. Now interested in running more than 1 OS at the same time. Looking on internet I found something like virtual machine concept. There is a product from Microsoft name Virtual PC / Server. VMware is also in to same product line. I read about xen and qmenu, but could only understand that only image provided by them can be used and loaded as virtual machine. At the most, it may be possible to create an Image of my own. If any one know, please tell me that can I use my exisitng OS installation, and use these OS as virtual machine or no option but to load from image only. -- Keep Smiling and Mailing, Regards, Saurabh

They now need PHP developers to work for them, primarily in maintenance and customisation of open source software like CKERP, WebERP, EGroupware, Drupal, Urchin, OSCommerce. Many of these customisation involves developing new reports or changes in the modules to suite business requirement in India and USA markets. (Before any of you think of flaming me, the new reports and changes are being submitted back to the authors of the software to consider in the next version). The company is constantly installing and evaluating open source software to offer as solutions to their clients. In addition, the company wishes to move all new websites and web-solutions they develop to PHP instead of asp / asp.net platform. The company has already installed its own Linux Server in their US DataCenter to host these software. The corporate mailing system (covering over 40 domains of STV and its clients) has been moved to open source. The company is looking for software developers with good knowledge in PHP and MySQL & PostgreSQL. Knowledge of additonal languages like pythone and perl will be added advantages. Good Knowledge of Linux is a must. Ability to experiment with new software and find solutions will be an important attribute for the right candidate. We are also looking for freelance PHP developers and small PHP development firms who want to work with the company on regular basis for projects and assignments. If this is of interest to you or to anyone you know, please forward the details to ceo(a)saitechventures.com Regards Saswata

Hello All. How do I find the list of all files modified since yesterday? I know one option would be find / -mtime N But this is a bit confusing. Should N be 1 or -1? Is there a better way? I don't have any IDS like tripwire installed on my servers. I have five IBM servers running RHEL 3 and one running AIX. Regards, NMK.

iptables Vs route
by Shahed Moolji 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi All, I have a RHEL 2.4 kernel server, running as a router. While trying to investigate why I am having certain routing problems, I came across references that mention that both the "route" command, as well as iptables manupalate kernel routing tables. Do they both act on the same routing tables ? If I add static routes with # route add ....... how will it affect forwards in iptables ? Thanks Shahed.

[OT] Hardware Query.
by Rony Bill 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hello All, Right now I am in a dilemma situation and need some help from the experts. Has anyone installed a Decklink Extreme Video Edit card before? http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/sd/specs/ I have to install it in a new studio grade system whose mobo is Asus A8N SLI Premium. The main PCI Express slot will be used by a high end Nvidia graphics card. http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=0&model=539&modelmenu=1 The stupid part is that even the Decklink people don't know which slot to mount the card. They sell the card only. It is a PCI Express card and the site says its compatible to PCI Exp. x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots. This 'washing of hands' by the dealer is taking place after the order is under execution, so I just need to know which slot can I install the card. I understand, the card is not related to linux but if anyone has hardware experience on this, please help. Thanks and Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Now how then how does it work in SLI I don't know... maybe you get an add-on module or it is meant for those cards that have multiple GPUs on a single card. (Did I dream about that one...)
