Linux on Cell
by Latesh G 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hi Yogesh, Thanks for showin interest, I dont have practical knowledge about how to alter the kernel for Nokia but I have good knowledge about what features are available in particular phone(Nokia), what OS it has and what are its limitations also how we can enhance it. I know what kind of hardware is required for transffering stuff to Cell (not MMS n Tones it uses different Cable). I suppose if few enthusiasts show inetrest in this we can give it a try and I'm sure we can do it as nothings impossible. Latesh. Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your life partneronline.

Linux Cell Phone
by Latesh G 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hi Guys, I have had really bad experience with Nokia that time I felt cant I jus make my own OS like (Symbian OS used in Series 60 cells) and load it on my cell. Cant few of us gather together and build our own OS for Cell phones, there lot we can do with cell. While on move I surf net via GPRS and when I find something useful I cant save it cause Nokia doesnt want me to save it when its possible. I try to transfer Images through Infra-Red but cant cause Nokia doesnt want me to. I can only transfer Contact which doesnt evn take 15secs if done manually. The possibilities are endless, cant we jus give it a go??? Regards, Latesh. Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your life partneronline.

Can I get Red-Hat 9 disks ?
by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Energy) 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hi I need Red-Hat 9 installs. I stay near Thane (Bombay) ... so anyone who can gimme the CDs or get me the CD for me to burn, would be quite welcome.. I don't have the time/bandwidth/money to download 3/4 * 650 MBs over the net. So please help me out here! I have Red-Hat 8 which used to install fine on my older machine. But on my P4..Intel865, the setup doesn't go into Graphical mode. Then even more frustrating is that in the install options, I get NFS HTTP FTP The freaking local CDROM option seems to have gone to take a walk... although the machine boots from the same CD I have myself setup Linux on my P2 n times without getting this issue. On a forum, someone suggested that since it is new hardware, RHL 9 is the best bet.. instead of getting X updates. Don't know how true it is... I'm quite new to Linux.... sometimes when I get tired of Win.. I just go down this lane for a few days. Till linux throws up something like this, making me go back to the solitary option.. Gishu BNI

I have the following configuration. Redhat 9 with 2.4 kernel and using the dlink internal modem DFM-560IS+++. This modem drivers are compiled with kernel version 2 so there is a compatibility issue. Got an external modem and it works fine. However the Cost difference is 4x. So would like to know if there is any internal modem known to have worked seamlessly with the above configuration?

[COMMERCIAL] Opening for a Senior Systems Engr, 3+ yrs
by Shuvam Misra 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

Dear all, We have an opening for a Senior Systems Engineer, 3+ experience, based in Mumbai. This person will be spending most of his/her time working in our product development team. Our software product is primarily a messaging and server monitoring system, plus optional modules for network monitoring, firewall integration, etc. The product works on Linux and Unix platforms; all our customers for this product so far have been on the Linux platform. In our company, the culture is pretty techie. All users work on Linux desktops. Marketing material, product technical reports, letters to regulatory authorities, etc, are almost always done on LaTeX. Income Tax Form 16 is prepared using an XFig template. And so on.... The selection process will involve a C programming test followed by a personal interview. We will prefer 3+ years of experience but will also look at less experience for exceptional professionals. And please understand that this is not a pure "software job", because we don't feel that people who only want to code can be of much use in our product team. We need someone who will occasionally debug problems on running systems at client sites, so that this insight is incorporated into our product offerings later. And sysadm experience of heavily loaded servers is a big advantage for a role in our product team. Responsibilities: - Software development on system programming-type projects - Installation and troubleshooting for Linux servers, WANs, firewalls, etc - Network, server and DBMS performance analysis and tuning - R & D on unfamiliar software, products, protocols Profile desired: - Excellent, not merely good, C programming skills - Thorough knowledge of Perl - Hands-on experience in Linux/UNIX operating systems - Clarity and good understanding of the fundamentals of operating systems, network protocols, and optionally, security issues - Experience in Java will be an added advantage - should preferably have read and understood (i) Maurice Bach, (ii) McKusick/Leffler/et-al, (iii) "Advanced Programmer's Guide to Unix" by W.Richard Stevens, etc. - comfortable with working in a small company Qualifications: - A B.Sc. degree, preferably in physics/math, or BE/B.Tech/MCA Please can you reply to me with your resume? And it would be nice if the resume is in PS/PDF/plain text. regards, Shuvam Misra --

Is the concept of your software so radical that you and only you could have thought of it? b. Did you have to do an amazing amount of research to develop the coding methods you used? c. Did you use all your own code or was much of it obtained from outside? d. Did you pay for outside help? e. How many people are going to benefit from your code? f.

A User Experience
by Rony Bill 03 Sep '04

03 Sep '04

Hello Linuxers, Please bear with the long mail. I am a new member here and my reason for joining is to get an idea of whats happenning in the Linux community especially in Mumbai. I am a hardware engineer by profession and I undertake maintainence for the SOHO segment. I learnt windows on my own since last 5 years by burning the midnight oil, but my networking knowledge is limitted to connecting machines peer to peer in windows. My first encounter with Linux was when Red Hat 8 was the current one. It loaded well on my Celeron 400 and I could configure the internet accounts and surf online using an external modem. However, the printouts in my LX 300 were never upto the same quality as in my Windows Me. The OpenOffice suite took longer to open in Linux than in Win. But the major problem was that printer could not get setup in OO so I would create docs in OO and open them in some other utility and print them. Ultimately that OS became a learning experiment than a proper day to day usable system. Now I am currently learning the RHCE 033 module and was provided a set of CDs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS and they loaded well on my other P4 running existing XP. But it refused to detect my internal connexant modem though it exists in the kudzu listing as a pci device even with its proper name. The modem CD has linux drivers but even after loading all of them one by one, the modem would just not respond. The driverguide site gave a driver but the 180Kb something tar.gz file finally opened a 8Kb object file which I did not know what to do. Even in this OS, the print quality in my LX 300 is very poor compared to my XP. Again, Open Office simply vomits my paper out whenever print command is given. I am not telling all this to look for solutions, but to highlight the problems that are making Big Billy have the last laugh. I use legal Windows OS in both comps. and the rest is freeware office, firewall, antivirus, anti-spyware etc. I want to promote Linux to home and small office users but with this situation, I am in a fix how this dream can materialise. Many of you here have gone through these hurdles and are now master programmers too but what about dealers and sub dealers who want to promote Linux with their normal computer experience and knowledge? They are not programmers. Take any windows OS like 98 or Me or XP, it loads like butter and even when advanced drivers are not available, it performs general functions using its own drivers. A simple task like printing a word file in Linux is a problem when the Enterprise Edition in theory is supposed to be superior and office centric. Without modems, net and email which is a basic office function is impossible. The hardware I am talking about is no unknown one but a basic Intel based PC with a normal popular internal modem of a reputed company like D Link. I must add that the Xandros Linux installed beautifully before the RHEL was loaded and Xandros detected my modem and I surfed the net but again, print quality was lacking as in all other Linux I tried. An engineer cannot be expected to spend too much time on one system, that too for simple tasks of getting a PC up and running smoothly. He has to attend atlest 4 to 5 breakdown calls daily. Through the GUI, I fiddled with a lot of settings but got no result. As a result, Linux has still to reach the SOHO user as a fullfledged alternative to Windows. They are still on Windows. Unbranded computer assemblers that use and support varying hardware, still keep away from Linux. I have a few suggestions for the developers and OS makers, 1. Have some sort of unity within the Linux community where simple things like driver support is available to everyone across Linux irrespective of freeware or paid versions. A free version that does not function properly makes no sense. The scattering of Linux flavours that have taken place should be re-channelised into one main objective and that is to provide a proper and similar, if not better alternative to Windows. Unity is strength. 2. Is there any development going on in making a Linux utility that converts windows drivers into Linux drivers as per the Linux flavour and kernel? If wine can run fullfledged Windows programs in Linux, this too should be a possibility. 3. Identify commonly used hardware that can be configured to give equaly good results in Linux too especially printers, modems. Scanners is another problem with Linux. None of the flavours I tried could setup my Canon D646u. A driver converter mentioned in point 2 could come in handy. 4. Please have some kernel intercompatibility in relation to device drivers so that drivers written for older kernels work on new ones too. I read in the recent LFY mag that internal modem drivers written for older kernels cannot work on newer ones. Linus Tarvolds could do something about this? 5. Make Linux not only developer friendly but normal hardware engineer friendly too. Those who found my mail long and boring can send in their flames although I am sorry about that. But this was my experience which I wanted to share with you. As I go on in the RHCE course, I will learn more. Best Wishes, Rony.

What is supermount ?
by Rajen M. Parekh 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Hi all, With allmost all the distros (except Slackware) which use the new 2.6 kernel, I see a fstab entry for removable medias (Cdrom/Cdwriter, floppy, etc.) like this, /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdwriter supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0,--,ro,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 What is supermount ? When I tried this with Slackware (with kernel 2.6.7 included under "testing"), the kernel says "file system supermount not known". I read the man pages for mount, but does not mention any such thing. Nor does any documentation with the kernel sources. I feel that this is something like autofs, but didn't dvelve much into it. Clues/Hints/Did I miss something ? Regards, Rajen.

hi, there are two types of install in gentoo. One is thru a net connection which is not possible for a dialup connection or a broadband (i mean there are high chances of disconnectin in India lollll). The other is to build it frmo binaries for your appropriate processor.I would recommend the second one. My case study: I had a PIII system. SO i downloaded two iso's: install-x86*.iso this iso is for a basic install of gentoo.It is common to all types of systems. The second one is package-(architecture).iso which is different for every system. Since i had PIII i downloaded the package iso for my system. This is all u need. BETTER HAVE A INSTALLATION MANUAL for gentoo. it's there in the installation cd itself. i hope this helps. pankaj -----Original Message----- From: Rohit Baisakhiya <rohitbaisakhiya(a)speedpost.net> To: "GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India" <linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in> Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 10:03:38 +0530 Subject: Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] KDE 3.3.0 Final Included with yoper 2 distro anybody tried yet On Wed, 2004-09-01 at 00:10, Pankaj wrote: Hello Luggers, > hi, > > I definitely agree with Nikhil. > There has been tremendous speed improvements with my PIII machine.Till now i have been using Redhat and Fedora. > BUt gentoo has impressed me a lot as it allows me to upgrade and resolves dependencies while getting the flab out of the packages.I took approx 3-days of R&D to get it working (compiling and installing and doing r&d). > That was becoz of my ignorance of config files. > BUt finally it worked and I am impressed with the responsive ness of applications.and i am having 3.2.2KDe and 2.6 Gnome. > > Cheers to GENTOO...

hi, I had installed yoper when it's first version had come out. Well it did not work out of the box for my hardware.Maybe i didn't have any knowledge about the Xconfig files. But one thing which delighted me about it at that time was it booted very fast and could shutdown as fast as win98(incase u don't have problem of windows hanging while shutting down).Now I am trying gentoo linux. It 's a superb distro.I liked the Package Management System of gentoo i.e,Portage...
