Mouse Config Debian 2.2
by Mayur Joshi 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Dear Linuxers, After installing Debian 2.2 and trying to start the X server, the X server crashed giving out the error as Fatal Server Error Cannot open mouse(No such file or directory) Somewhere I messed up with the mouse config, but I dont know how to config mouse later after the installation of Debian system. Does gpmconfig configures mouse? Anyways it gave me command not found. Awaiting reply, Regards, Mayur _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Regarding Devnagri open type font

Hi, I have recently joined this mailing list. I was going through the archives and i came across the message posted as follows: >We poeple at NCST are developing one OpenType font for Devanagari. It >is a Unicode font. The font has to be tested thoroughly and then we'll >put it in public domain. It may take a week or two. >We have modified FreeType font rendering library in X server so that >it now supports OpenType font. We have also built Indic Script Shping >Engine in the X server.

GNU Emacs manual
by S. Krishnan 31 Jul '01

31 Jul '01

Hi, I noted the expression of interest in GNU Emacs, Lisp etc. I too wanted to master Emacs, so I dowloaded the tex source on my Windoze office machine last week, ran MikTeX over it, converted it to a PDF file and printed out all 526 pages of it, since we plan to use Emacs on Win NT at work to edit sundry TCL/Tk scripts. The upshot of this is that I have made a photocopy of the manual for myself (copied back to back, it comes in at a manageable 270 odd sheets, spiral bound). This cost me around two hundred and sixty rupees, at fifty paise per page. If anyone is interested in a copy, I can either give them my original printed sheets to photocopy, or else the PDF file to print out (1.7 MB). If anough people are interested, maybe we could negotiate with a Xerox offset print facility to deliver even cheaper copies. Incidentally, I used the photocopy shop in St. Andrews College, Bandra (West). Let me know if anyone is interested. BTW, Philip, what text editor do you use?

Kernel compilation :some doubts
by Nikhil Joshi 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Phew! finally compiled the kernel and got it working :-) I used many config options and made different kernels (about 5) before arriving at this working kernel. I do not remember the exact options I used. Is there some file where the options are stored so that I can refer them while further tweaking my kernel? How do I know whether my new kernel is better than the default one? Please enlighten. -- A shortcut is the longest distance between two points.

Reminder: ACM Seminar on Machine Learning, Fri 27/7
by Durgesh D Rao 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Dear Colleague, This is to remind you of the following event. Regards, - Durgesh, for ACM Mumbai. ACM Seminar Friday, July 27, 2001 - 6:30 p.m. Title: Introduction to Machine Learning Speaker: Jayprasad J. Hegde Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu Abstract: After an era where programs, AI based or otherwise, were meant largely for ideal (non-surprise mode) usage, people have come to realize that for an intelligent system to work in a real-life environment, adaptability has to be taken into account. This is the reason that, although work utilizing Machine Learning concepts was already in progress in applications like Speech, the field is emerging from oblivion only now. This can be gauged by the fact that a linguistic intensive field like Natural Language Technology is utilizing Machine Learning concepts more than ever, and an AI area like Data Mining (which primarily uses ML) is a buzzword in the software industry. In this seminar, we will look at the overall picture of Machine Learning and see why it is required. We will look at a broad overview of the Machine Learning spectrum, from Inductive Learning to Clustering. We will also specifically cover Inductive Machine Learning in more detail and the technologies used to implement it and finish off with the various exciting applications of Machine Learning. About the Speaker: Jayprasad Hegde has been learning a lot from machines (especially his workstation which doesn't seem to work whenever necessary) and would like them to learn something from him. This motivation started his never-ending quest for learning machine learning :). When he is not learning or 'machine-learning' he is earning his bread and butter by doing work in the Natural Language Processing group in the KBCS division and feigning great knowledge in any area of AI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Durgesh D Rao (DDR) | Email: durgesh(a)ncst.ernet.in Research Scientist, KBCS Division | Ph: 6201606x372(w), 7563437(r) National Centre for Software Technology | Fax: +91-22-6210139 Gulmohar Rd 9, Juhu, Mumbai 400049, INDIA.| Web: www.ncst.ernet.in/~durgesh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi There, I have recently installed debain on my machine. And its' nice :). I have the following doubts - 1> How can we browse through the dselect (Select), which gives the list of the applications. 2> If I delete the shortcuts to zope in rc2.d and upto rc5.d, will that be enuff to remove it from startup? Or will it have some bad consequnces? 3> RedHat used to take hell lot of time to check my filesystem. Debian does tht pretty quickly. Why is that so. The fstab entry is the same in both the cases. 4> How can I install rpms in Debian or will i have to install thru tars?

OT : VPNs across proxies
by Mayuresh Kulkarni 28 Jul '01

Hello, Can someone please explain the following? HOST1 belongs to NETWORK1. NETWORK1 has a proxy server and a firewall which connect it to the internet. HOST2 belongs to NETWORK2 and is a VPN server. Now, HOST1 acts as a VPN client, goes thru the proxy and the firewall and initiates a session with the VPN server. Thus depending on HOST2, certain services of NETWORK2 are now available to HOST1. Is the reverse true? ie can HOST2 access any of the services of NETWORK1, thru the connection established above? Thanks a lot.

Why do we hate Windows?
by Nikhil Joshi 28 Jul '01

28 Jul '01

I have seen many Linux users (Linux users in general and not just linuxers) referring to Windows or it's apps in rather demeaning way e.g. window$,win....,M$ Win.., windoze, etc. Why are we so intolerant ? I mean we have been using this OS since it's arrival .Most of us (I am not sure but I guess) have dual boot system . I am not professing the use of Windows but I think it is imperative for us to understand that Windows is here to stay ,at least in the desktop environment . Also I think Windows is affordable for most users ( OEM stuff ) .So I think the argument that Windows costs a fortune is not true. In Linux too we have commercial distributions ( Suse,Corel, Red Hat Deluxe Workstation,etc..) whose costs are comparable to that of Windows 95 or 98 . So the question is why do we hate Windows so much ? Are we jealous of it's success or is it just unwritten rule for Linux users to snub it ? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi, Someone on the list had a problem with javac. I remember a similar problem when using Sun's JDK for linux with Redhat Linux 7.0 beta version. I needed to install a few patches because the glibc was broken (??) Anyway just my 2p. Regards Shahed.

I am using Hathway at Nariman Point, I don't know about Santacruz. Irrespective of the service provider, they should give the connection(with or without the cable modem) either onto ethernet card or onto serial port. I connect onto the ethernet card.

Ask your provider to give the conection onto your Enet card. If they give you a static ip, set your Enet card with this ip. HTH.
