printing and Linux
by Komal 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

Hello, Printing subsystem always baffles me. Printing in windows is very intuitive and easy. If I fire print job and if print cord is not connected to printer or printer is offline print spooler flashes warning within few seconds. But in Linux once print job is fired it is lost in black hole. Even if printer is offline or printer is not connected print spooler doesn't inform about it. I have tired lpd, lprng and CUPS all are more or less same. I wonder printing is so flaky in Linux? Thanks Regards, Komal

LUG-Meetings

25 Oct '05

>Hi Jon, when are you leaving? We have not had any meet for >months. Maybe some interested people can meet at a place. It's been a long time since we have had a Lug meeting Anurag. What I'm suggesting some of you may not like it hey it's just an idea that we have been tinkering with for some time, why can't few of the guys meet and just have a discussion on any or all topics or problems they have Why do we need to organise a classroom like atmosphere with one person giving a talk on some subject....(man I had enough of that during college) Actually I was one of those who went to meet John Masters (British visitor seeks linuxers)he made a interesting point that one of the Lugs groups around London actually meet up once a month at a Curry house and just discuss what each other are doing and what problems they face... I'm game for the idea of sitting in a coffee shop and discussing (remember Barista's I think we discussed more there than we discussed in MET). No don't get me wrong I do not advertise or promote Barista. but what I'm saying is we could meet any where even at khar promenade or juhu who cares as long as LIKE MINDED PEOPLE meet and talk...

> This is an area of interest - what internet access is like > generally in > Mumbai and other major cities in this country. > > Cheers, > > Jon. (Having stayed in both UK and India) Internet access in India is currently more expensive in both absolute + relative terms. In most urban areas of UK, you can get unlimited 512Kbps/1MBps broadband for 10 pounds a month. For starter plans, you may have a connection fee of 20-30 pounds, but you do often get a basic ADSL modem for free. You do have to sign a contract for 12 months though. Normally, 1 MBPS access shall give you download speeds of upto 100kbps from a UK or european mirror site. (and expect around 50kbps from 512Kbps connection). You can also get some "monthly download limit capped" broadband for an even cheaper rate. (6 pounds pm?) In India, you pay close to 700-1000 Rupees (10-12) pounds for a slightly slower copnnection. Depending on the ISP, you may have monthly caps on downloads as well. I am not very sure what the rates currently are, (looks like they have gone down a bit). In Bangalore, till last year, you could expect to pay 1000-1200 per month for a 128Kbps "broadband" from an ISP called Hathway, which had a download limit of 2GB pm, and you paid 2 rupees per Meg after that. In summary, 1) rates in absolute terms are generally higher than UK for comparable services. 2) If you consider this in relation to average wage, its even higher. (minimum wage in UK ~5 pounds per hr) p.s. and we never had a freeserve like ISP in India :-( !!

Configuring TriBand under Ubuntu
by Mohan S N 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

I have the DSL399 conn via ethernet. I am running Ubuntu 5.04. I have trouble configuring the connection. The problem is that once upon a time i had used a modem and Ubuntu still considers the modem as the default and does not remember the settings for the ethernet conn. I have configured & activated the ethernet conn umpteen times and disabled the modem conn as many times. Pl help. Because of this I have to use XP instead of practising shell scripts (I am 2 mths old int the world of Linux and loving it). Regards, Mohan S N P.S.: The MTNL tech support is of no avail as the troll who services my area cannot tell between internet and ethernet . He is lost searching for 'ethernet explorer' if I delete the dsk shortcut to IE. Action express priorities. - M K Gandhi

If you set it to dhcp and there is nothing connected, it may wait to find a dhcp server or you got a lan active and its not setup for linux???? Turn sendmail service off too. It is not needed.

R-Connect LSP350R
by Rony Bill 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Hello Everyone, MTNL has suddenly decided to do away with new subscriptions for the "Telephone for Internet" scheme where it charged a flat fee of Rs. 500/- per month for all calls unlimitted to any dialup ISP. The existing customers, that includes me, of this scheme are being told to 'kindly get lost' by increasing the monthly tarrifs from 500/- to 1000/- for Scheme A and 700/- to 1400/- for Scheme B. They are killing the dialup and dialup ISPs and are trying to push Triband down our throats. The triband is not viable for me as my usage is above 250 mb and I would require to shell out atleast 500/- + 250/- = 750/- every month and that too would be a limit of 400 MB. R-Connect gives me 1 GB for Rs 650/-. I want to break MTNL's linux monopoly by using my newly acquired Reliance LSP350R for net usage in Linux. The Mandrake 10.1 does not mount it, although it detects it, inspite of all commands tried from the internet. The FC4 distro can detect it automatically and mounts it on /ttyACM0. The problem is that I am not able to get it talking in KPPP. I tried the initialising string as it exists in the windows. I don't know what should be the 'Flow Control' option Hardware/Software/None and the Line Termination CR/LF/Both. Has anyone successfully used this new model LSP350R for r-connect in linux. If so, please help me by giving me the detailed settings for the same. From 1st November the new tarrifs will be applicable so by then I have to make the necessary crossover. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - NEW crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

exit status of zombie from proc or something
by Amish Mehta 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Hello All, I have this process which runs a child and sleeps for 5 mins and then cleans child(zombie) and prints its exit status. Sometimes child exits early and I can not wait 5 mins for parent to print status (and I can not modify parent code). So is there a way to find the exit status of a child zombie process from proc or ps or any other way? Proc has file called status but I couldnt find if it shows exit code somewhere, can anyone help? Google doesnt help much. Thanks in advance. Amish.

[ot]commodore 64 with game kit and sound maker up for grabs
by Trevor Warren 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Morning Fellas, My fiance while cleaning her place just found out that among the junk(tons of it..:D) at her place we had a Commodore 64. I was surprised to see the same with a load of cassettes(games+educational) and basic programming books plus tons of other educational material. The kit was used just twice with most of the cartons and game kits still not opened since its purchase in 79. This is mostly nostalgic and i understand that there would be collectors on this list who may want to lay their hands on this kit. Any geek who wants it can have it. Its free for you to grab. Please write in to me off this mailing list.

Writing Modprobe.conf
by Rajen M. Parekh 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Hi, Whenever I want to use my printer, I have to give the command "modprobe lp" to load the lp module. When the system starts up it load parport & parport_pc modules but not lp. I have now put the command in rc.local file so that the module gets loaded when the system starts. But my question is how does certain modules get automatically loaded when the system starts ? To be more specific, how do I configure /etc/modprobe.conf file to load modules which I want, automatically. For example the lines, alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 automatically loads the various sound modules like, (snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer) I want to know how/what do I do with the /etc/modprobe.conf file to make module "lp" to load automatically. I tried adding the following, but that does not work alias char-major-6* lp I tried many other ways but can't figure out how to do it. In other words, I am not able to understand how the kernel automatically loads certain modules. For example, when I start pppd (dial-up ), the following modules get inserted automatically when connected successfully, Module Size Used by ppp_deflate 4992 0 zlib_deflate 20888 1 ppp_deflate zlib_inflate 16896 1 ppp_deflate bsd_comp 5504 0 ppp_async 9088 1 crc_ccitt 1920 1 ppp_async ppp_generic 24980 7 ppp_deflate,bsd_comp,ppp_async slhc 6528 1 ppp_generic There are no entries for pppd in the /etc/modprobe.conf file, still the modules get loaded. Then why does not "lp" modules get loaded why I, for instance, give the command "lpr" . I tried reading the man pages but not of much help. Any pointers to other documentation would also be good. I tried to find something with google but no luck. Regards, Rajen. -- ... The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
