So how about posting a howto on how to install wxWidgets and wxPython and providing all deps in one place. Most testers may be deterred trying to get it running imo.

Actually just plain tied up with voip stuff, which has plenty of hardware and is very interesting. Also my wife Punit writes all the software. And my machine runs woody + some backports installing the latest wxPython libs requires several deps to be installed which will break my other stuff. Jeez am i lazy. There is ample scope for business solutions on GNU/linux. Which is what i keep cribing about everytime someone say M$ or wonderful new licence. Also try doing a fraction of the above using M$. Infact just try keeping a system with a closed app like the above running for a few days. rgds jtd

Virtualisation
by Rony Bill 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

Hello All, A few months back there was a discussion here on running 2 OSes in one machine and I had put forth a concept of having multiple OSes in one machine and simulate multiple computers in one machine to reduce hardware costs. I had suggested a system of having a motherboard that has a bios which will create seperate hardware quotas for each OS. In the July 2005 issue of Chip, there is an elaborate article on virtualisation and some of those concepts along with much more information have been discussed in it. :) Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?

Dear Luggers, Please help me with a appropriate sol'n for the following case: SRS Client ------> RH9 Proxy ------->SRS Server Port 80 443 SRS is a SUN Client for monitoring, it communicates with the SRS Server and sends stats and traps. Any suggestions for implementing the proxy. The client would connect to port 80 of the proxy and subsequent traffic would be diverted via port 443 to the SRS Server. Its SSL proxy that i intend to implement, can anybody point me to NOWTO or reply with a few easy steps to help me implement the solution quickly.

Old hardware...
by Dinesh Joshi 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Hey dudes, I am looking out for a working Pentium I motherboard. I have the rest of the stuff cpu, memory etc... If someone has a P I motherboard and would like to help a poor college kid (^^) then please email me on or off the list. I know many of you must be wondering why am I posting this on a LUG mailing list. Well, I was in the middle of building a Linux router when the motherboard died. Actually, the BIOS on the board died. I got a new EEPROM IC (exact specs), the BIOS image but unfortunately I dont have the programmer to flash the BIOS. So I am on the look out for another board in working condition. I got to the part of installing Redhat 9 on my old 1.2GB seagate harddisk when this happened :( Please dont brush away this thread as trivial. If you can seriously help me out in whatever way you can then please email me. I may pay you whatever little I can. I already have quite a large outstanding bill with my vendor :P Thanks!!!

Hi All >Do you actually type this entire line everytime you want to connect. No sir. Its a script. >Your external modem will be /dev/ttyS0 if connected to com1 or /dev/ttyS1 if connected to com2. In kppp you may have to add this line as the optional command in the after connect text box of kppp setup.. 'route add default ppp0' without the quotes. Thanks for the suggestion i will try out, I connect through a reliance LG-LSI-110 Cordless phone. Made a symbolic link from /dev/input/ttyACM0 -> /dev/modem. The problem is pcquest linux 2004 and enterpise linux version 3 work easy and there icons don't freeze when i connect. Also when i uninstalled iptables those errors where gone, But the freeze was still there. I am using Sarge (Testing) from PCQUEST dvd.

Routing woes: Netgear port forwarding to RH9 & FreeBSD fails.
by Abhishek Daga 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

Machine 1: FreeBSD 4.9 Machine 2: RH9 (with mtnl dialup) Machine 3: FC3 All 3 are also connected via a Netgear MR814v2 (router/firewall) <---> Dlink DSL Router provided by TataIndicom. Machine 2 is connected to MTNL ALSO. Problem: Port Forwarding(80) in our netgear router to FreeBSD and RH9 fails whereas same works for the FC3 machine. Firewall rules on FC3 and RH9 are the same. By fail i mean, the setting takes place but when trying to connect, it fails. When trying to connect directly to the RH9 machine via the MTNL dynamic IP, it works fine. both SSH and HTTP. SSH (port 22) also fails similarly for RH9 and FreeBSD but works fine with the FC3 machine. As remote management is ON, we can connect to the router from outside. There is an option to make a server the DMZ server. Even when the RH9 and FREEBSD machines are made the default DMZ, it does not accept connections. Any clues? Seems a bit bizarre frankly. But then again, most things seemingly are. thanks abhi Ignorance is Strength. What you don't know cannot hurt you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Friends, I need to advise a client on which "time & attendance" system to acquire, to replace an ailing/legacy DOS based one. If any of you are aware of (Mumbai) vendors/integrators offering a GNU/Linux based time and attendance system for a 50-100 person organisation, please oblige by providing contact info OR just pointers where I could look for such vendor(s). I am keen to review/recommend a (open standards) solution rather than propietary (read M$) based quotes received todate. If it helps clariy, I seek your help to locate 'vendor/integrator' as against googling for 'software/tools'. Thanks in advance for your time and help on this. Vydya

Concept of Copy/Paste.
by Rony Bill 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

Hello All, What is the concept of copy paste in linux as compared to windows? In windows I can save highlighted text or links in the clipboard and close the source program or editor. In linux, if the source program/editor is closed, it does not highlight the 'paste' option in the destination program or editor. Case: As a safety measure links from emails are never clicked directly, instead they are copied and then pasted in the addres bar of the browser. In this process if the email client is closed, the 'paste' option is not highlighted. Same thing happens when saving parts of a web page text from a browser to a text editor. So in linux is the concept of copy based on the an active link only as compared to windows, where a seperate memory pad is used to store the text?

opening attachments with pine
by Philip Tellis 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

I've recently upgraded from FC2 to FC3 and am now having trouble opening attachments through pine. This is the flow of events after asking pine to display an attachment: 1. pine saves attachment to /tmp 2. pine spawns attachment viewer 3. pine deletes attachment from /tmp 4. attachment viewer finally shows up and cannot find the attachment Current version of pine - 4.63. A lot of articles on the net talking about opening attachments in pine, but none of them address this issue. Ideas on what I can try? My current solution is to have a shell script copy the file out of /tmp and then spawn the attachment viewer with the new filename. Philip

Hi All I am working on Debian sarge 2.6.11,When I connent to internet, through my Reliance Landline Connection, all the desktop shortcuts stop responding whereas the task bar Icons respond mostly though sometimes they to turn obstinate. Initially i thought it could be because of the Firestarter as when i tried to log in through Terminal 1 or any other tty i get characters like this running that i cannot run any command. IN=PP0 OUT= MAC= SRC=220.226.9.18 DST=220.226.6.188 LEN=48 TOS=0X00 TTL=45 ID=41026 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=265 1 DPT=445 WINDOW=16384 As soon as i killl pppd after sometime the system may work. I neither see any heavy disk activity during all this. Tried google but could not locate the same error somebody facing too. Any help would be appreci -ated. -- Sachin ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

A project idea
by Nikhil Marathe 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

This is a quite simple and basic idea i had today. Some of you may have noticed that when oss developers are releasing it they have to put in a lot of time to design a proper website for it. So if we could have a bunch of php scripts together that would do the following things(more if you have suggestions): - Automatically generate common links like Screenshots, About, Features, Download, Help. - The developer just has to put download files in a directory called downloads or something and then the install script will parse the directory contents and generate links for download. Overtime it could be modified to recognise extensions such as deb & rpm & tar.gz and put 'source', or 'debian woody' - The install script will generate html files so that the developer can add more program specific html - It will be modular using include() - Other directories like faq or help or screenshots will also be passed Please tell me what you think about it.

So in linux is the concept of copy based on the an active link only as compared to windows, where a seperate memory pad is used to store the text? Regards, Rony. I am not sure of the concept. But the incident experienced here is applicable to windows XP specifically. (as far as I have experienced!) Secondly, I use, KDE 3.1-10 as my desktop environment under Redhat Linux 9.0 and I have a utility called Klipper This is a good utility which store the previous copied text and enables a number of entries (which can be customized). Also, hopefully, it even store after closing the source program/editor. Sir, Can I know which distro are u using? This question is also applicable to people who would like to state it! _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 --------------------------------- Too much spam in your inbox? Yahoo!

Doubt that. You can sling a pci bus onto almost anything. The 2GB limit is because of the bios. Once you boot with a floppy linux will work with any disk. Also memtest will fail if the bios settings are not suitable for the ram. Afaik linux will not interfere with the mem timings. The old rams do not have a serial eeprom for timing params and the mobos do not have an i2c bus to read the params. > i will try that. > well just planning to take a new machine, but dont want to junk > this out completely, but seeing if i can still get it working, the > old beast can still do a lot!! :-). rgds jtd

Check the bios setup. Insert maximum wait states to slow down ram access. Replace the ram if you can find some of those ancient pieces. Or try a floppy distro. since these use very little ram it might just work. rgds jtd

Patch Kernel 2.6.11
by Rajen M. Parekh 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi, I am using Slackware 10.1. The default kernel is 2.6.10. Slackware gives the unmodified kernel source along with the Source CDs. I installed kernel source 2.6.10. Then I downloaded the patch for kernel 2.6.11 from kernel.org and successfully applied it. After that I apply patch 2.6.11.1 which also got applied, but after that patch 2.6.11.2 gives me error. I tried it many times and checked that I am not making any mistakes, but every time 2.6.11.2 gives me error. When trying to apply patch-2.6.11.2, I get the following error. (I have tried with both the patch kernel script, as well as using the patch command directly, both with same result), root@localhost:~/linux-2.6.10# ./scripts/patch-kernel . . patch-2.6.11.2.bz2 Current kernel version is 2.6.11.1 (Woozy Numbat) Applying patch-2.6.11.2 (bzip2)... 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Skipping patch. 3 out of 3 hunks ignored -- saving rejects to file drivers/input/serio/i8042-x86ia64io.h.rej Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Skipping patch. 1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file drivers/md/raid6altivec.uc.rej failed. Clean up yourself. Now as per the message if this file contains patch file "2.6.11.2" has contents which are already applied then the next file "patch 2.6.11.3 " should at least successfully apply. I tried to jump to 2.6.11.3, but of course that also gives me error. After applying patch 2.6.11.1 the top level Makefile in the source directory says, VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 11 EXTRAVERSION = .1 NAME=Woozy Numbat Now if we have look at the patch file 2.6.11.2, then it says, diff -Nru a/Makefile b/Makefile --- a/Makefile 2005-03-12 21:16:32 -08:00 +++ b/Makefile 2005-03-12 21:16:32 -08:00 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 11 -EXTRAVERSION = +EXTRAVERSION = .2 NAME=Woozy Numbat <snip> Now shouldn't the " -EXTRAVERSION" say ".1" ? In fact, none of the patch file in 2.6.11.x says "-EXTRAVERSION=x". All of them are empty. But the subsequent "+EXTRAVERSION=x" is present in all patch files. I am really confused. What I did next was delete the whole source directory. Re-copied the source directory, applied the 2.6.11 patch (which gets applied successfully, in any case). Then instead of applying any other 2.6.11.x patches, I directly tried to apply 2.6.12 patch and it got applied without any errors on the screen. Now I am not sure whether I have done the correct thing or not. Secondly, I still can't figure out why am I not able to apply any patch in the 2.6.11.x series subsequent to 2.6.11.1 ? What am I doing wrong ? The Documentation directory along with the source does not contain any instruction/suggestions to apply extraversion level patches. I hope I have been able to explain things correctly. Regards, Rajen. -- ... God must love the Common Man; He made so many of them.
