I'm pretty sure they're just piggybacking all the extra bandwidth they had left on the optical fibres they laid down for the reservation centers. Anyway, we don't need an external website, just an internal one. And well, free broadband? Its pretty good, I've never had much complains. Just the router freezing, which can be turned on / off with the switch for a quick fix.

[OT] IT and Email Security
by Rony 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hello, I was going through the news report about China having 'hacked' our defence computers and allegedly stolen some information. They are even alleged to have stolen email records of 1 year of the Dalai Lama. My query towards those who may have more information about the same is as follows. 1. Are the compromised machines running doze or Linux? If doze then they are asking for trouble. 2. Since emails are stored as a single database file, how does the attacker steal only one year's record? How does he remotely slice a database inbox file date wise and copy it unless he has had long term access to the user_name and password and keeps copying and saving mails together in a clone offline email client like Thunderbird etc. or one by one using a web interface. Otherwise he has to compromise the actual email server that is hosting the email software and steal the entire inbox file, which is more difficult. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !

FOSS Guru - the ultimate FOSS magazine
by Naveen Dhanuka 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hi all, I registered the domain FOSS Guru some time back with the help from a friend in US. I finally want to announce that I am making it a magazine now. There have been many many a magazines in and out in the market and trust me all of them have sustained only because of the free dvd they come out with it. How is FOSS Guru different? I promise if you buy one copy of the magazine, you will archive it for ever. I am targeting it at all types and calibers of users, developers, system managers and architects. My magazine will have everything for everyone. The mag might be segment specific in each issue, so a ruby developer might want to buy only the FOSS Guru – Ruby Special. I am still thinking more. You can cast your votes or send suggestions on this thread or on email address neevaan(a)gmail.com . FOSS Guru will make a mark for itself. I promise.

This time we are not accepting any talks , yes that's true. Mukt.in 2010 is going to be completely workshop based. It's our belief that hands on tutorial have a greater and better impact on the ones attending then only talking, and looking at the fact, most people attending it would be students from and around jaipur, because jaipur is a hub for engineering colleges.

In the add workshop system they need to mention following: a) Title of the workshop b) A detail description what they plan to do in the workshop c) Duration of the workshop d) Expertise level e) Required software to be used during the workshop f) Linux distribution they plan to use (Fedora / Ubuntu we are currently supporting) g) Any other extra material if you want to attach One can submit more than 1 workshop using the system. It will be really great if you plan to submit more than 1 workshop as it will give you ample opportunity to start from the basics and go till the advance. Mukt.in 2010 theme and suggested area for workshops As said earlier this time we are only planning to have workshops so, we like to introduce the attendees to the concept of "shut-up and hack". Our target audience will mostly be college students who will have a beginner to intermediate expertise in FOSS. Plus we are also planning to bring Rajasthan government officials / NGOs and also college faculties. We plan to organize a complete workshop dedicated to NGOs, government people and college faculties. The workshop for college faculty should preferably target FOSS tools which the faculties can use as an alternative to the existing proprietary tools. Some of the suggested topics for workshops are: * LAMP. * FOSS and electronics. * Linux system administration. * FOSS in mobile computing. * Cloud computing with FOSS. * Emerging open standards. * FOSS and multimedia. * and much more.

FossDevConf

> > > With all these strict rules, I'm assuming FossDevConf aims only at expert / > developers used to linux, foss, etc. If you're looking to pull in newbies, > then these are too restrictive. > but newbies are supposed to sit as audience and there is not restriction on them. Also, I do not feel these as restriction on speaker, These are just guidelines. Basically I attend some conference where Windows was used for ppt presentation. Although those speaker are taking about FOSS but it do not match with true spirit of FOSS and Open world. For example a totally new bies when attend fossdevconf or simila event where he will find every speaker using non-windows stuff, this will make a positive impact on him. Please reply back how to feel.. on this ? ┌─────────────────────────┐ > │ Narendra Sisodiya ( नरेन्द्र सिसोदिया ) > │ Society for Knowledge Commons > │ Web : http://narendra.techfandu.org > └─────────────────────────┘ > Firstly, I'd request you to keep this on the mailing list, because the power of crowd can't be beaten. Secondly, disclaimer, I'm a windows user, and my hand really flies across it when I'm using it. I'm not a hardcore developer, just some programming here / there on PHP or microcontrollers (C). I do use linux, multiple distro's, but spend most of the time on windows / winblows etc. I also got Windows for free from M$ under a certain unrelated engineering subscription. There's two ways of losing an addiction, the cold turkey way, and the slow way. The cold turkey way is awesome, but doesn't work for everyone. Also, I study in a college where the students / crowd isn't very technically inclined (including Engineering students doing Computer sciences). I found that showing them open source on windows worked much better than doing an install fest and throwing them into the linux world. Once they were comfortable with technical aspects like SVN, command line etc, then introducing them to linux worked better. (compared to direct installfest, where most of the students were noting down steps on a notebook, but not getting the steps. So imho, there should always be a basic workshop / lecture on FOSS philosophies and applications in Windows to get the newbies into the scene. After all, most of us are here because of our hatred to Windows / OS X :) Surya Sharma

Learning Linux

> Hello, > > I am new to this group. I am new in the city of Mumbai. So I would > like to know the details of good institutes for learning Linux in > Mumbai I think most of us would suggest learning it yourself compared to learning from an institute. People who say linux is tough probably didn't do it right. If you've _never_ used linux before, try using wubi ( http://wubi-installer.org/ ) to install Ubuntu on the computer. It will let you experience linux in a surface manner, and once you're comfortable, switch to another distro. > Surya Sharma > me(a)suryas.info > 9920482321 Just realised I spammed the list with a bad reply.

Scrolling tv announcements
by Surya Sharma 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

> > I will probably be asking them for advice on how to go about it Well, if you take the video out from Tatasky you can pretty much do whatever to that feed without the server knowing anything. Their T&C mentions that you shouldn't be recording the video, so have a look at the manual to clarify that. Here's a simple way to do what you want to do: All you need is a Graphics card with Video (or S-video) out, and an video + audio input card. Set your video out as a monitor, then on that monitor: Play the video on the system using any app that works. Create an app or use some that will act like a ticker. You could just make a gif or flash animation for that. Keep this application over the video. Use the video out from the PC as your final video.

grub rescue: rescue me, scary ubuntu 9.10, beware!
by jitendra 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Can any one help me : two of my PCs have gone into 'grub rescue'. I tried (now I think foolishly) to install ubuntu 9.10 (which has this new grub animal 'grub 2') . And that is buggy. I just dont know how to come out. Very strange and *S C A R Y * 1. One machine has existing windows. It had ubuntu 8.04 . I deleted the partition so I could install ubuntu 9.10 . Now the machine refuses to recognise usb stick, usb CDROM so I cannt even boot from them. 2. Other laptop : i thought I will not touch the system that is working fine( ubuntu 9.04) So I used USB CDROM and ubuntu 9.10 disc on it to create a usb stick for 9.10. I did boot from USB CD and chose the stick to install and chose not to install grub as I wanted only one OS on the stick and thought grub will be redundant. (While installing it had asked location of grub on HD(0) etc and that was not relevant . I thought). So I happily ended the process disconnected USB CD ROM drive and restarted the laptop and again I got the sacry 'grub rescue >' prompt I looked up help on the net but , like some previous sufferers , I got no good help. I am sure there is some good help I can use. -- jitendra

Booting from USB stick : is it ubuntu 9.10 problem
by jitendra 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

I had reported problem of grub rescue on two machines earlier. Gladly that has been solved completely in one of my two machines. However on the second one, somehow my USB CDROM is not recognised. So I tried to create a USB stick. I could do so very well. However when I use this on the PC, the cursor gets stuck on prompts as this _____________________________________________________________ SYSLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 CBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin boot: ________________________________________________________ Nothing happens. The google showed a following comment which was discoraging __________________________________________________ Comment #9.1 by: *DaveP* on 09 Dec 2009, 20:05 GMT Apart from each time I tried to use USB disk creator in 9.10, it failed to create a disk. Did same on 9.04 and it worked fine, so must be something to do with the first cuts of Karmic, which I am sure will be ironed out after a few weeks. 8.10 and 9.04 created USB startup disks just fine. ___________________________________________- Any clue? -- jitendra

Please suggest USB NICs that are supported by Linux
by Arun Khan 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

I need to add an additional ethernet interface in a router box and I have run out of PCI slots (board does not have any PCI-express). However, there are a bunch of unused USB ports that I can use. Please suggest USB NICs that are supported by Linux *and* available @ Lam Road. Brand/Model and shop name would be highly appreciated. Speed is less important, as long as I can get about 10Mbps on the iface - it will be used to connect to the ISP link. TIA -- Arun Khan

Stop a nuclear disaster
by navneetrastogi99＠gmail.com 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi , Our government is churning out one hazardous bill after another. This time it is a bill called the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage, and it's coming up for a vote in a couple of days. The bill lets U.S. corporations off the hook for any nuclear accidents they cause on Indian soil. They'd only have to pay a meagre amount, and Indian taxpayers would be stuck paying crores for the nuclear clean up and to compensate the victims. Without any public debate, the Prime Minister is appeasing American interests and ignoring our safety. Greenpeace is launching a petition asking the PM to hold a public consultation before introducing the bill. I have already signed this petition. Can you join me? [1]http://www.greenpeace.org/india/stop-the-vote Thanks! navneetrastogi99(a)gmail.com You are receiving this email because someone you know sent it to you from the Greenpeace site.

Configuring syslog
by Mayank 10 Mar '10

Hi, I have been trying to configure arpwatch on my Linux LAN. arpwatch has no configuration parameter which allows me to send logs to a particular file and all the logs are being sent to /var/log/messages. Can someone please explain how to stop a daemon like arpwatch to stop populating /var/log/messages and instead redirect all logs to some other file say /var/log/arpwatch.log. I guess I need to modify /etc/syslog.conf in order to accomplish this. I modified /etc/syslog.conf and it now looks like: ================== # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* -/var/log/maillog # Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron # Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg * # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler # Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log !arpwatch *.* /var/log/arpwatch.log ================= Now all my logs for arpwatch are getting recorded to /var/log/arpwatch.log along with /var/log/messages. However I'm still unable to stop arpwatch from populating /var/log/messages. Regards, Mayank -- Today is tommorrow I was so worried about yesterday ...
