[Commercial] Hosting a software development project
by (रेवंत) Revant Nandgaonkar 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I want to know the functioning and management of a open source software development. Is it possible to host, sponsor and co-ordinate software development project? The idea is to invite part of industry to contribute to this development. Case: AutoCAD - its core tool for civil engineering consultancy firms and their industry. Legal deployment costs a lot. i.e Hardware+Windows+Security+basic utilities+ACAD There is cost for upgrades, every 5 years. Software companies expect upgrades in 2 years. India is becoming IT leader and Software Legal issues are showing up Is it feasible to setup an organization for developing usable open CAD for Mumbai/India based civil engineers? and provide training for the use of CAD While discussing FOSS alternatives I raised this possibility and certain civil engineers/CAD users are interested, Civil engineering Associations are approachable.

Making linux well supported among vendors/manufacturers
by Kussh Singh 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

The mobile market will exceed the computer market in coming years or has already exceeded the computer and related gadgets market. Nokia and other manufacturers routinely make softwares for their hardware products for the windows and macintosh operating systems. Unless we, the FOSS users request them every now and then thru email, feedback on their websites, online forums etc etc to also support these softwares on the linux platform, Linux will get increasingly sidelined and less people will even come to know about it. Getting linux on the printed packaging of a product (visibility) is very important for awareness generation. 95% of the battle of getting linux popular will be won if it becomes visible to the layman. I request FOSS users to constantly strive to make linux visible to laymen thru whatever creative ideas they have, every now and then, specially thru requests to manufacturers etc and online forums. Regards, Kussh

HP K209a installed on Debian 5 (Lenny)
by Rony 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hello, Just finished installing the HP K209a PSC (with economy cartridges) in Lenny. Went to http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html and after entering the proper details of the OS, it confirmed that I had to download the package. All instructions are on the site with screenshots. However after a successful package install (select the custom options and choose yes to un-install the older hplip package) , neither the printer or scanner got detected. The user (me) was added to the lp, saned and lpadmin groups and viola the printer and scanner was detected. For some reason the HP utility does not start from the KDE menu. One has to open a gui terminal and type hp-setup. On doing hp- and tab twice you get a lot of utility options. Using the hp gui itself the printer was installed. Kooka detected my scanner and I was scanning away. If anyone wants to have a better utility, I found one in my apt-cache. It is called 'quteinsane' and it is a frontend for sane. It is more glamorous and has nice options. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Need help in deciding HDD for Samba Server..
by neel 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi, I am using Dual CPU AMD Opteron2378 with Sata harddrive with 32MB cache for Samba File Server. I have installed CentOS5.3 64bit on it. Currently 80 users are using that server at same time. All users are using OpenOffice, Write, Pagemaker on their desktop machines and they work on server directly. It gives good performance. There are 10 users who use CorelDraw & Photoshop for their work and they work locally. Now I put their data on server told them to work on Server directly. But it reduced their working speed by 50% than locally and on server DiskIOs also got increased. So then I disconnected all users and only provide access to those 10 users. So they are working on the server dedicatedly but still performance was slower than local. Query : How can I increase Performance for them ? what configuration I should have to serve those users as a File Server ? Note: All network cables are CAT6 and switches are of 100MBs. Query: If HDD is the weakpoint then, will SAS hdd be helpful under these circumstances? I heard that SAS HDD are faster that Sata. They have 2 catagories 3Gb/s and 6 Gb/s. Even we can get PCIxpress card for SAS ports from Promise. Can Linux supports these cards? Thanks in advance Regards Neelesh

Any good download managers
by Kussh Singh 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi all, I tried downloading the HUGE collabcad PLM setup file from collabcad website. However both times though I was able to download the 1.62GB file using firefox addon downthemall, downthemall failed to finally put the file in the proper download folder given for the purpose. Only 750mb file resulted from a FULL download of 1.62 GB. There was enough space in the /home directory -so that possibility of less space is ruled out. I think downthemall 1 downloads to a temporary or hidden directory and 2 then checksums the hidden directory download after the download is complete and 3 then moves the checksummed file to the final destination under /home directory if everything is ok or gives an error. It seems to be restricted in download size upto 750MB. Am looking for a better dowload manager which can work under ubuntu 9.04 and with such SUPER large files. If anyone knows of a better manager with checksumming ability pls let me know. The other option is using a torrent file (via a bittorrent client) if any exists. Thanks for any help Kussh

problem with kde 4.3 update
by Pratik Anand 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

@Kartik i know that but you are not getting the question. I had installed kde4.2.2 when kde 4.3 was just about to come....But after when it came , Synaptics or apt didn't upgrade 4.2 to 4.3..even on manual checking of update , they said 'your kde packages are uptodate' and thats with others too.. So, I wanted to know the reason behind this... As if canonical is still not supportng 4.3 in jaunty or anything else... My question is WHY not HOW (first step is Googling always)...Why it is not included in original repo list Similar case is with firefox update too, it is not giving option of updating to 3.5. As a result , i m running the tar of the newer version ..but the installed one is still 3.0.15 @Rony : I m not a linux newbie, have been using it for 1.5 yrs now (so little above newbie) and have solved all types of problems whether it is non-functioning of alsa, or compiz graphics prob in hardy or to make wine from source etc etc.. by intensive google searching..... -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (2nd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone

Troubleshooting Guide For GNU/Linux Newbies
by Rony 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hello, Whenever you face a problem with software or hardware in Linux, before you post your message to the list, follow some simple practices that may help you solve the problem on your own. Firstly, imagine yourself as a service provider who is on-site at the client's place and except for a working internet connection, you have no other resources available to seek help for your problem. All phones are dead, your mobile battery is out of charge, and the list members have retired for the day so you will not get any help for 24 hours. With these limitations you have to solve the problem in the same visit. Crosscheck:- This is a very powerful yet simple method to start isolating possible faulty conditions. If you have a piece of hardware that is not working on your system, try this hardware on another system or try another hardware on the same system. If you have software ( and hardware ) related problems then search google for people who have had similar problems with the same software. Nowadays every major Linux distro has its own guide / instructions / blogs pages for setting it up on popularly available branded hardware like laptops, netbooks etc. You simply need to put in the correct 'key words' in google to look for answers to your queries. Therefore, if you bought a new laptop or netbook and cannot get its sound or LAN or wireless or camera or card-reader etc. working, look for websites that have full instructions on how to install your choice of distro on that particular model of hardware. Remember the fact that we are a little behind in technology so before us someone else has already faced this problem and all we need to do is look out for that person on google. Only after you have exhausted all your resources on google, should you post a message on this list. When you do so, please add some history to it and let the list know what steps you took to cross check this problem in every possible way. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

i know that Ubuntu 9.10 is out there. But 9.04 is still supported. And it has been released recently while kde 4.3 is there for a long time when the latest version of Ubuntu was 9.04 only. Why didn't it asked for update to kde 4.3 then.... -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (2nd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone

jerkiness in video on using phonon on windows
by Kunal Lagwankar 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hi, We are subclassing QIODevice to pass audio-video data to a custom parser (a Directshow filter implementation) using Phonon. Phonon creates a graph that includes the custom parser and corresponding audio-video decoders and rendering filters. The custom parser internally separates audio and video, which is then decoded and rendered. When this sequence is played, jerkiness is observed periodically (spaced every 2-3 seconds). By video jerkiness, I mean that previous frame is again rendered causing a break in continuous viewing. It is important to note that there is no break in audio. When the same file with the custom format is drag-n-dropped in to Graphedit, it automatically creates a pipeline and renders audio-video data satisfactorily (meaning no jerkiness and in audio-video synchronization). From this, we have concluded that the directshow filters by themselves do not have any bug and perform correctly. We are unable to figure out why this behaviour is observed on using phonon in windows. Any help/suggestions in this matter will be appreciated. Thanks. Kunal

Youtelecom broadband on linux
by Philip Tellis 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hi guys, I had set up my dad's laptop running Ubuntu to connect to Youtelecom broadband using pppoe. Everything has been running fine for many years and suddenly on Saturday it stopped working. It connects to the net and immediately disconnects. The Youtelecom support guys are unable to help as none of them know anything about linux and I'm on the other side of the world so unless he can actually connect to the Internet, there's nothing much I can do to debug the issue. I wanted to know if anyone else is on youtelecom and has seen this problem in the last few days. Any suggestions will help. Thanks, Philip -- hello world

external drive problem in ubuntu
by Kussh Singh 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Am using ubuntu 9.04 on a desktop. Have also tried with ubuntu 8.10 and 9.10. System is unable to detect and connect to a USB external drive--make is seagate, capacity is 250 GB, model is called freeagent. Have also tried the device in windows7 where it is also not detected. The external drive can be felt to be running as its whirring sound can be felt. Also it glows from the top due to some LEDs which shine thru holes on the top of the drive's cover. There is only one USB connector cable which acts both as a power supply cable and a data cable. Generally USB devices when plugged in are detected instantly but this is not the case here. I have also installed pmount etc without any success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Kussh

Re: [ILUG-BOM] install apache on ubuntu 9.04 problem
by Pratik Anand 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

@RS singh is there any problem with your internet connection? check out your system's network proxy.. If you are behind an ISA proxy then you might have to use NTLMAPS for requesting net access for your linux applications. Moreover, if you can't find apache2 , better option is to install it via automated process. try following: sudo tasksel then choose LAMP from the list and hit OK.. it will install Apache with all dependencies and configurations.

[OT/HW] KVM support in Aspire 5542/Aspire 3810T
by Arun Khan 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

Good day list members, In my search for a notebook with a CPU that supports either Intel-VT or AMD-V, the list has narrowed down to: a) Acer 5542 (AMD Athlon M300) b) Acer 3810T (Intel SU3500 ULV) Even though the CPU supports VT, the BIOS may be b0rked by the manufacturer (i.e no VT setting as in a brand name starting with V...) I would appreciate feedback/comment from anyone who has used either of the above models and verified that VT can be enabled through BIOS and that the kernel loads the respective KVM modules. TIA -- Arun Khan

Knoppix 6.2- Looking for translations
by Siji Sunny 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hello All, Knoppix 6.2 is going to release soon.Before that they are looking for the translations of index.html (basic introduction about knoppix) in all possible languages.One of my firend is taken care of Hindi.Anybody else interested in other languages pls in touch with knopper. debian-knoppix(a)knopper.net .I will provide the index.html file offlist. ---- Knoppix 6.2 is now ready for uploading, but as a last, tiny missing detail, I would like to re-add the short and (outside of the compressed image) "windows-readable" information that was present on Knoppix versions prior to 6.0. I have the german and english version ready (it's really not much text, just the basic info), but would like to bring the other languages into sync with the updated text again, too. I could need a little help here. This just applies to index_en.html, the cheatcodes should still be OK if they just stay in english (or not?). Whoever is reading this list and would like to provide a translation for his or her language, is cordially invited to do so. The text license is Creative Commons unrestricted distribution with Modifications Allowed (also for derivates). You can add your name as translator below the title, maybe with a contact email address, if you like to do so. To avoid duplicate work, please post the translated html, or at least a preliminary "working on it [language]" to the list. The translations present in Knoppix 5.3 were: DK ES FR IT JP NL RU but other languages are welcome, too, of course. We would like to release Knoppix 6.2.0 as soon as possible, but incoming translations after the release date can of course be published on the mirrors, the Knoppix website at knopper.net, and in later Knoppix versions as well, so, no real need to hurry right now. The translations which are present before the release, will be added in time. With kind regards -Klaus Knopper -- Siji Sunny

Hi, Mayur Pawar wrote: > Having trouble in mounting a 20 GB NTFS partition .... It gave me > an error saying Windows was not shut down cleanly. All you have to do is run a "chkdsk /f C:" (or whatever drive) from Windows, and it will mount properly on the next reboot. You can force mount the partition as Puneeth Chaganti suggested, but this may lead to data corruption if you write to it. There is also the ntfsfix command (in the ntfsprogs package) that can be used from ubuntu as an alternative to chkdsk in windows. However this is not an exhaustive tool & may not be able to fix the problem. -- Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

[OT][X-Post][Commercial]Low cost Free Software CD/DVD distribution service
by Anoop John 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, For the last two years Zyxware has been successfully running a low cost Free Software CD/DVD distribution service at http://www.zyxware.com/requestcd. People across India have been utilizing this service to get access to the different Free Software Operating Systems and other Free Software packages without having to download them from the internet. Although we were running the service at an at-cost policy and we did not promote it other than through the user groups, it had succeeded in reaching to different parts across the country. We are extremely grateful to the people who have helped us in spreading the word about the RequestCD service. We had to take down the old system as part of upgrading our site and we have re-launched the Request CD service under an online shop at Zyxware.com. The requestcd URL <http://www.zyxware.com/requestcd> will take you directly to the list of Free Software distributions and packages available from us. There are currently around 250 different distributions, versions and full repositories available. If you do not see a Free Software OS distributions or repository online at the shop you can please let us know by email at requestcd(a)zyxware.com and we will try to download and add them to the list. If you like this service I would humbly request you to consider blogging/twittering about the service and help us spread the word about it. I hope that you will continue to find our Free Software services useful and help us in spreading the power of Free Software across the country. I look forward to hearing your feedback/comments/suggestions.
