Hi, If i take code from public repository and the license text is as follows.

Also can the disclaimer statement that "THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY XYZ" be edited to include the new contributor/contributors name. Does making changes to Copyright or Disclaimer break the license, Thanks Sandeep.

efax: No alert for incoming fax
by H.S.Rai 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I am able to successfully send and receive faxes on my PC. But there is no indication of an incoming fax so there is no way to know a fax is coming, just by watching (while testing in same room) that other person is sending fax, and clicking "Answer the call" I receive fax. What that is not possible in real deployment. STANDBY MODE (automatic answering mode) is not working. I changed initialization params from Z &FE&D2S7=120 &C0 M1L0 to Z &FE&D2S7=120 &C0 M1L2 S11=55 but no success. Any help will be appreciated. -- H.S.Rai

[Commercial] The Muktware Manual Project
by Swapnil 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Brussels, Belgium: We are pleased to announce The Muktware Manual Project. The aim of this project is to create comprehensive manuals/user guides for different Gnu/Linux-based operating systems. The core focus of this project is to help users in installing and using GNU/Linux systems through extremely easy, step-by-step instructions. The guides will feature images and videos to make it even easier for a novice to install & use their systems. We have selected 6 distros for this project: 1. Ubuntu 2. Kubuntu 3. Linux Mint 4. Fedora 5. openSuse 6. Debian Each project will be led by an editor. Each editor will be paid a renumeration of US $150 per project. The deadline to finish & submit the project is April 28th, 2011. We are looking for editors who can commit to releasing the projects in time and ensure error free copies of the manuals/guides. The Guides will be developed internally, but once finalized they will be released as open-source projects published under a creative commons license. The project will be open to be edited by anyone - just like a wiki. The Muktware Manual Project is our contribution to the development and growth of the free software technologies. The aim of this project is to create a comprehensive pool of information under a single roof which will benefit not just one distro, but GNU/Linux in general. I hope this project will help people to use GNU/Linux with greater ease. We are inviting the applications for editors. If you think you have the time and skills to lead the project, apply now to become a project leader/editor. Send applications to [1]editor(a)muktware.com Swapnil Bhartiya Editor Muktware.com References 1. mailto:editor@muktware.com

Low Cost Attendance Registering System with Biometrics using FOSS
by Rony Bill 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hello, I am happy to announce that the application is finally ready. Thanks to all those who helped with their valuable inputs. The system not only marks employees as present with their thumbnail photos and a monthly report but it also rejects wrong names and prevents duplicate / repeat marking for every day. If an employee signs on someone else's name then his photo is clicked with that user's name and his hanky panky is recorded. After a duration of some hours that will be decided by the company boss, the system even marks those who are absent as 'Absent' in their monthly log. Adding or removing users is simply a process of editing a single text file with a list of employees. -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists.

Sudo Issues [Solved]
by Rony 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

By changing the modified line below Defaults env_reset, runas_default=rony to Defaults:test runas_default=rony Now the user 'test' can run a command as user 'rony' and user 'rony' continues to use sudo like before. I think what happened was that since Defaults:......... was blank, it assumed runas 'rony' for all users. By specifying Defaults:test, the rule applied only to the user 'test'. I have not tried it but does it mean that the line Defaults:..... can be set one below the other for different users and different respective rules? -- As a proper list etiquette.....

Sudo Issues
by Rony 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hello, In Ubuntu, there is a default user called rony who is a part of the admin group and that user is allowed to run root commands with sudo. Now I create another user called test. There is a script in rony's home directory called timediff.bash and using sudo I want the user 'test' to run the script as 'rony'. In the sudoer's file the entry for the environment Default is as below: Defaults env_reset It is changed to: Defaults env_reset, runas_default=rony and a line is added below it: test ALL=(rony) /home/rony/timediff.bash This allows the user 'test' to run the timediff.bash script as 'rony'. All fine. However the user 'rony' gets debarred from the sudoer due to the runas_default=rony declaration. Is there any way both these features can be had? I tried different positions of Defaults in the file above the original Defaults command or below but at a time I can either run 'rony' as root or 'test' as 'rony' depending on the runas_default entry. Not both. -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists. Post your replies below the relevant original text, leaving a line space.

Starting Fedora 14 in TEXT mode
by Kshitiz 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Dear Linux Users Can we start Fedora 14 File Server in TEXT mode after having installed in text mode? If yes, how? We used to install up to Fedora 10 in text only mode and also get it started in text mode. But had to start installing in graphic mode as the text mode install from Fedora 11 onwards no longer offers partitioning and package selection. Our knowledge of Linux is limited and its been a long time I passed my engineering (20 years), so kindly pardon my limited abilities in Linux. Regards Kshitiz

[Humour] Linux kernel to be released under BSD licence
by Suhit Kelkar 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Source link: http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/open-sauce/46242-linux-kernel-to… Linux kernel to be released under BSD licence By Sam Varghese Friday, 01 April 2011 00:47 Opinion and Analysis The Linux kernel will soon be released under the BSD licence, kernel creator Linus Benedict Torvalds said today. He was speaking at a dinner held to honour the top five 2011 Linux Foundation gurus, including the ultimate Linux.com guru, the member of the site who accumulated the most contribution and participation points over the last year. The Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux. Shortly after he made the announcement, Torvalds was honoured by Foundation head Jim Zemlin for making the most meaningless contribution to Linux. In a confidential statement, which was leaked to iTWire by GNOME desktop co-founder Miguel de Icaza, Torvalds said his move to change the licence for the kernel from the GPLv2 had been driven by recent events, including Google's bid to use kernel headers without infringing copyright. "There are a host of corporations out there, all of them desperately trying to take advantage of the good code we have created," Torvalds said, referring to the kernel team. "And they are all hampered by the licence under which we have released the kernel." He said a secret summit of kernel developers, held in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa, had voted unanimously to change the licence from the GPLv2 to the BSD licence which meant that anyone could use code from the kernel in proprietary software and lock it away from public view forever. Asked for a reaction, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said he would have to closely examine the statements attributed to Torvalds. "This Linux thing was like a cancer all these years and it is difficult to see it metamorphosing overnight into something that might save our company," he said. Oracle head Larry Ellison declined an offer to comment. However, sounds of glee could be heard over the telephone before he replaced the receiver. Google chief executive Larry Page, who is new to the role, said: "Gee, we never do any evil so it doesn't make any difference to us." Novell chief executive Ron Hovsepian hailed the announcement as the "dawning of a new morning." The only note of disapproval came from Free Software Foundation chief Richard Matthew Stallman. "This Linux Foundation and other bodies tasked with promoting GNU/Linux are always indulging in publicity stunts. A few years back, some organisation recruited Paris Hilton in a bid to promote the kernel. This is just another cunning stunt," Stallman said.

Sed and Awk

Hello, In the page http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/sedawk/ch02_05.htm I followed the instructions to create a file called nameState and byState. The earlier sample commands with nameState work. I can also 'cat byState' and see the contents too. But when I run their sample command |sed -f nameState list | byState I get the error: byState: command not found Even while typing the command itself, after the pipe, the byS does not auto complete giving a indication of a problem. What could this be? I can work with the file individually but after the pipe it does not show up. I can even do awk '{ print $0 }' byState and display the file contents. | -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists.

Good Sed Learning Site?
by Rony 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hello, I am trying to get a grip on sed and regular expressions. I found this site which looked nice but it appears to have mistakes in its examples. For eg. on this page http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/sedawk/ch02_03.htm There is a file called 'list' and all commands are tested on this file. The file contents are:- John Daggett, 341 King Road, Plymouth MA Alice Ford, 22 East Broadway, Richmond VA Orville Thomas, 11345 Oak Bridge Road, Tulsa OK Terry Kalkas, 402 Lans Road, Beaver Falls PA Eric Adams, 20 Post Road, Sudbury MA Hubert Sims, 328A Brook Road, Roanoke VA Amy Wilde, 334 Bayshore Pkwy, Mountain View CA Sal Carpenter, 73 6th Street, Boston MA They have created a script file called sedscr. I have put the text as asked by them which is pasted below s/ MA/, Massachusetts/ s/ PA/, Pennsylvania/ s/ CA/, California/ s/ VA/, Virginia/ s/ OK/, Oklahoma/ However when I give this as input to the file called 'list', I get an error:- sed: file sedscr line 1: unknown option to `s' In the earlier examples of substitution sed 's/MA/Massachusetts/" list works only on the first instance of MA and not all which goes against their statements that sed commands are global by default unless the address is specified. The above command will work globally only if the /g option is put in the right had side. Is there any good website where I can learn sed and regular expressions. -- As a proper list etiquette.....

{Off topic} Open sourcers urged to adopt dancing poultry license-- The Register
by Suhit Kelkar 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Please take this in the spirit in which it is intended. To be humorous, humour has to ruffle feathers. And laughter is man's foremost right. PS: for the record, I am pro-GPL. Consider that for one to jeer at what one loves may be construed as an act of nobility. --Suhit. Open sourcers urged to adopt dancing poultry licenseFree software in Swiss polka revolution By Cade Metz in San Francisco<http://forms.theregister.co.uk/mail_author/?story_url=/2011/03/26/chicken_d…> <http://search.theregister.co.uk/?author=Cade%20Metz> Posted in Odds and Sods <http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/>, 26th March 2011 00:33 GMT <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/26/> In an effort to revolutionize the world of open source, a free software advocate has submitted a new license to the Open Source Initiative. The document is two years in the making, and it's known as the CDL, short for Chicken Dance License. "The purpose of this license is to make intellectual property far more entertaining to deal with," writes Andrew Harris, the author of the license. "Rather than boring old GPL violations or licensing agreements for GPL software, [an] entertaining video of people doing the chicken dance is produced. If this was taken to court, CDL violators may even have to perform the chicken dance retroactively!" The license is meant to offset the heavy legal component of open source software. "We all want fewer lawyers in software, but that isn't always possible," he says. "We might as well dress up the ugly legal side of it all with classic Swiss polka." According to the submission, the license is based on the BSD. "I figured this was a good place to start for the CDL," he continues. "It's easy to understand and relatively short. Of note are my fourth clause and the disclaimer I added relieving oneself of liability from injuries and expenses sustained from performing the chicken dance." The license is available here <http://supertunaman.com/cdl/cdl_v0-1.txt>. Under clause 4 of the license, anyone wishing to distribute CDL software without redistributing source code must submit to the following conditions: - For every thousand (1,000) units distributed, at least half of the employees or persons affiliated with the product must listen to the "Der Ententanz" (AKA "The Chicken Dance") as composed by Werner Thomas for no less than two (2) minutes - For every twenty-thousand (20,000) units distributed, two (2) or more persons affiliated with the entity must be recorded performing the full Chicken Dance, in an original video at the entity's own expense, and a video encoded in OGG Theora format, at least three (3) minutes in length, must be submitted to <OWNER>, provided <OWNER>'s contact information. The dance must be based upon the instructions on how to do the Chicken Dance that you should have received with this software. If you have not received instructions on how to do the Chicken Dance, then the dance must be chicken-like in nature. - Any employee or person affiliated with the product must be prohibited from saying the word "plinth" in public at all times, as long as distribution of the product continues. It would seem, however, that the license is unlikely to win approval. "Clause 4 appears to conflict with OSD clause 5 because people with disabilities or cultural obligations preventing them from either singing or dancing (or religious issues portraying chickens) would not have equal freedoms under the license," writes OSI director Simon Phipps. "It also violates OSD clause 6 as it would prevent use in the plinth industry. There are also difficulties concerning dependence on contact information being up-to-date such that freedoms would cease to be available in the event <OWNER> becomes uncontactable." No doubt, Google will object to the CDL on the grounds of license proliferation. And then Microsoft will introduce its own version, dubbed the Permissive Chicken Dance license, which will require anyone who uses its code to perform the Swiss polka until they die from exhaustion. ®

Cron exception - alternate?
by Roshan 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

All, I have RE-started my journey into Unixes/Linuxes recently (if 6+ months is that), though I was into it in the earlier years of my college days. I seem to have forgotten things or probably cannot recall certain things at the right time. Nevertheless, here's why I am sending this email. I did not know about a cron exception and had to assume a particular behaviour. I have detailed that example in Wikipedia, from which, I paste a small section of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From Wikipedia: For "day of the week" (field 5), both 0 and 7 are considered Sunday, though some versions of Unix such as AIX do not list "7" as acceptable in the man page. While normally the job is executed when the time/date specification fields /all/ match the current time and date, there is one exception: if both "day of month" and "day of week" are restricted (not "*"), then either the "day of month" field (3) or the "day of week" field (5) must match the current day. The above exception would cause trouble when cron is used to specify a task that has to be run on a specific date and time by specifying "day of the month", "month", "day of the week" (where day of the month falls on day of the week). As an example see below 45 19 26 02 06 run_this_task.sh In an obvious case, one would look at it and read: run_this_task.sh runs on Saturday, 26th Feb at 7:45 PM in the evening However, CRON looks at it like this: If it is 26th Feb at 7:45 PM, run_this_task.sh, even though it is NOT Saturday (effectively reading only: 45 19 26 02) OR If it is 7:45 PM on a Saturday, run_this_task.sh, even though it is NOT 26th Feb. (effectively reading only: 45 19 <> <> 06) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this case, I would assume, it would not be wise to use CRON to schedule a one time task due to the above "OR" condition. (cron is a 'regular' habit for me ;) ) I think, using "at" is more apt for scheduling one time tasks? (Am I correct?) -- Roshan Baladhanvi

File named with 2 variables

Hello, I am creating / appending files using a variable as the input name. Eg. $USER.jpeg makes a file called rony.jpeg . I want to add 2 variables to the file name instead of one and make $USER-$DATE.jpeg (rony-23/03/11.jpeg). What is the correct syntax for it as I keep getting errors in the mv as well as rename command. Tried $USER_$DATE or $USER.$DATE etc but no result. Did look up google but it has complex sed scripts. -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists.

how to bypass ISP blocking NAT?
by Ratnakar Koli 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hi friends, I have a internet connection from Nivyah Broadband, Mumbai. I have been using it for long now, and sharing it using a netgear router. Unfortunately, around 1 month back, I found that I am not able to use the internet. I did a traceroute, it showed no problem, but I was still not able to browse. I tried using other service provider on the same settings i.e. changing the access-concentrator details etc. it works fine. Switched back to Nivyah and again the same result. I am not able to browse or in otherwords not able to use internet. Please can somebody guide me, how can I bypass the ISP blocking me from using internet from a router? Also, I would like to know, how would an ISP come to know that I am sharing my net connection. I tried googling it, but was not able to find any satisfying document on same, on my own. If there is anything on same I would definitely like to read on it. Please assist. Thank you Ratnakar Koli

[OT] Initial Experiences in 3G

Hello, After Vodafone announced the commencement of their 3G services that can give top speeds of 21 Mbps, it was tried out on a Nokia N82 handset which has UMTS 2100 support and download speed upto 3 Mbps. The speed of surfing is a wee bit faster than EDGE but not very fast and a mobile speed test showed a download speed of 281 Kbps, a far cry from the original claims.

Calculating Time Difference in Bash
by Rony 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hello, I am trying to set up an el-cheapo attendance system that only calculates how late the person has come with reference to a fixed office time. I don't want to use any database+server thing as that is complex and users are less than 20. I am thinking of a simple approach with cheap and simple biometrics to prevent impersonation. A cheap web cam will click light thumbnails and a timestamp will be generated. Every month a file will be generated after which the photos can be erased automatically. The result file will be a .csv one that can be imported in any Office application. I am stuck at the point of calculating time difference. There doesn't seem to be a direct command that will calculate time difference in HH:MM format. This link mentions a work around http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/shell-script-to-get-the-time-difference/ but it first converts time into %s which is the number of seconds since 1970. However every day for the fixed opening time, say 10:00 this figure is not constant. One way out is that every day the %s figure is generated at exactly 10:00 and this is then 'diff'ed with the user's attendance time in %s. This is then divided by 60. Is there a simpler bash command that I may have overlooked that simply takes in 10:17 and 10:00 and says 00:17? -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies.

Kohacon Registration page - Co-presenter anybody?
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Greetings, Please note that there are participants from at least 14 countries apart from India that too within few weeks of announcement. http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/registration Surely the students and practiioners too will gain a lot. I am planning to experiment and present CentOS as a robust High Availability Platform for Applications like KOHA/DRUPAL etc. I don't know what I will Land up with though over the course of time. Some of the question I am looking at in a practical viewpoint of an Application and IT infrastructure Architect are: 1. We need to look at lifetime of the application like KOHA - perhaps 10 year in the timeline of a library? 2. Is the quick changing Fedora/Ubuntu stand the trial? 3. What is the interaction between DSpace etc? 4. Can they both be running in HA peacefully? 5. etc. If so please reply on this list. I must declare that I am not going to invest INR(Money) in this. I can't afford HA hardware at this point of time. Would anybody like to join me in presenting a paper or experimenting? Perhaps two different department can jointly decide to own one server each and bring it together for HA demo teaching purposes and then use it later individually or using the HA setup for themselves and to educate next gen of the students.

PHP timestamp difference on Linux and Windows systems
by pankaj＠glug4muz.org 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hi, When I am executing a php code like below: <?php $timestamp=mktime(0,0,0,3,1,2011); echo $timestamp; ?> on Linux and Windows system then there is always a difference of 19800 in output. The result shown on Linux system is always 19800 less than the value displayed on Windows system. But theoretically output on both systems should be same because the number of seconds elapsed since 01/01/1970 to 03/01/2011 should always be same on both operating systems. Can any one please explain the reason behind this difference. -- Best Regards ... Pankaj Kumar
