Also, check if other bootable CDs boot? If they don't, you need to change some BIOS settings for boot-order.

by Kussh Singh 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

I have been unable to extract information--phonebook, sms messages, received/missed/called numbers logs from my Nokia N70 using wammu 0.29 on ubuntu 9.04 using the ca53 USB cable inspite of the wammu.eu site mentioning that the N70 phone is accessible/supported thru wammu. The wammu software detects the device but is unable to extract the data from it. If anybody has experience with the software or something similar in ubunntu, pls let me know. xGnokii, gmobilemedia and kmobiletools have been unable to access the phone even. only wammu has been able to access it using connection=at115200 and port=/dev/ttyACM0 Nokia pcsuite does not work properly under wine in ubuntu. Thanks for any help. Kussh

[OT] Shell accounts and payment from India
by Nikhil Marathe 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Hi, This isn't related to linux as such, but since we are all geeks, I thought people might no the answer. I'm currently looking for shell accounts and web hosting. I am ready to pay, but all hosts in Europe/USA accept payment via Bank transfer. Now from what research I've done it's not worth sending money out of India due to the bureaucratic hurdles. As for Paypal, that requires a credit card, but I only have a debit card. Does anyone here use webhosts outside India, or say VPSes. What do you do then? Is there any good provider of a shell account/VPS in india which will allow me to run a SOCKS proxy using SSH? It will be purely for personal use. That way I can pay within India. Nikhil

Windows Vs Linux AWESOME
by Kishor Gavali 04 Nov '09

Question 1 Teacher: What is 5 ^ 2 ? ( ^ stands for 'raised to the power' ) Windows said: Linux said: Huh! That's too easy! Are you insulting me? Here's the answer. Now ask more difficult ones. Question 2 Teacher: What is 123 ^ 123 ? Windows said: Teacher: Windows? What is this e+257 ? Who asked you to express the result in an exponential form? I want the complete result, accurate up to the last unit's place. Windows: Sorry Madam! I don't know how to calculate so accurately. Teacher: Linux! Can you answer it the way I want? Linux said: Sure Ma'am! Have a look at my answer. Question 3 Teacher: Calculate 12345 ^ 12345 ? Windows said: Teacher: You are calling my question invalid? Ridiculous!! You should rather be saying, "Sorry! This is too much for me to calculate. I can't do such huge computations." Linux, I hope you won't let me down. Linux said: Certainly not ma'am! You give me anything to do! I will always give you the answer and that too the way you want, correct up to the unit's place. J Here's my answer. (The output was too big to capture in one screen shot! The output had to be redirected to a file. Then it was copied from there and pasted here.) 28678652250036694428264556049831799639658398529657212556768276628156\ 96261243172347789319941760086956841965972700488642307045998675445189\

LG LXU 800 CDMA Modem under fedora
by Nachiketa Sadhu 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, I have started using The Reliance LG LXU800 modem for their NetConnect service. I have used it under MS Windows as of now. They provide Linux driver for kernel 2.6.27-7-generic specifically on the CD which came with the modem. It did not load with the linux kernel 2.6.30.8-64.fc11 which I have on my laptop. Search on the Internet only advised me to change to that particular kernel. Can anyone provide links or information on how to make this work under the present kernel and later under the updates which will be coming. I would also like to know if this can be used on a Asus EEEPC 4G. Thanks and regards. sadhu

@steve well, thanks for reminding but I know it is based on Wine. But for playing games in linux using Wine with default drivers, you have to do hell lot of tweaking and config settings.PlayOnLinux does all that for you. So no bubbles are there to prick :) thanks Pratik Anand

playing Windows games on linux
by Pratik Anand 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

We all know that Windows games don't run on Linux. Most of them don't even have linux ports. Many people even advanced linux users keep windows partition just to play games. Wine even doesn't help much as it slows down the system. Even worse case with virtualizations (like VirtualBox). Now here is a better way of playing games of Windows flawlessly on Linux. http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ Just stumbled upon it. It contains patches specific to game titles to make them executable in linux environment . Please have a look. Pratik Anand -- pratik3d.blogspot.com

[commercial] OnSite help with 2 HDD - VolGroup issues
by RSCL Mumbai 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, I have an IBM server with 2 identical disks -- SATA 250GB. I have installed CentOS 5.3 on both the disks. I want to keep both the disks connected in the server, Boot from Disk-1 and run a full disk RSync every night. The problem is, the 2nd HDD won't mount because of identical VolGroup names and related issues. Need to change the VolumeGroup of both HDDs and look at other related issues. End result, I need to be able to boot from HDD1, mound HDD2 and rsync. In case of HDD1 failure, HDD2 should be able to work as the main disk. I know this is similar to RAID and raid is an option, but I have my reasons for doing it this way. Looking for someone who can help me ? Let me know. Thx & Regards, Sandeep 98199-88384

Greetings! I am a final year engineering student from Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Andheri, Mumbai. I am a big fan of the FOSS philosophy and am working on BIOS level virtualiazation as part of my final year project. I am an ardent fan of Linux Journal and read it religiously every month from our college library. However due to some subscription issues the college is not able to acquire the October 2009 edition. Could any suggest a shop or bookstore in and around Andheri where it will be available as it has very important articles regarding my project. Thanks a lot!

Linux Criticism on Vista Forum hosted on Linux Server

Hi, Just came across these threads on these Linux Critic Threads on a Vista Forum that is actually hosted through PHPBB on Linux Server.... Funny, isn't it? http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/777… http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/648… http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/648… The discussions (rather debate) are really interesting to read and also educating. The strange part is, did some of those critics realize that they are actually debating against linux on a Linux Based Website? Bye Regards -- Pravin Balaji Dhayfule

Re: [ILUG-BOM] OT RHCE certification - Reg - Digium Certification
by Mitul Limbani 24 Oct '09

24 Oct '09

BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }Hello, On a slightly different note, already the market is flooding with lot of RHCE around, so differentiation between expertise is very difficult. But if you have a good familiarity on Linux Servers, a very different market can be explored which has a huge demand (the Open Source Telecommunications market) especially after a lot of new Telco and VAS players coming in the market, the need for Asterisk Training and Certification has risen up to quite a good extent. All these new generation VAS companies require prior work expereince on Asterisk or Certification which can assure them on the expertise, and hence my recommendation on doing an Asterisk course along with Official Digium Certified Asterisk Professional (dCAP) would raise the bar and eventually help candidates land into a better paying jobs within India itself. Nevertheless It may sound like blowing our own trumpet, if any candidate is looking to explore better probablity in landing up a job, they can consider actively looking at an Asterisk Training n Certification course to get them booted into the VAST Open Source Telecommunications market not only in India but world wide. I would like to quote here words of John Hall (Mad Dog) - Chief Editor of Linux International -"I predict that over next three years, VoIP using an open-source solution, such as Asterisk, will generate more business than the entire Linux marketplace today," - Refrence : http://news.zdnet.co.uk/communications/0,1000000085,39169076,00.htm [1] So anyone interested to explore their career in the Open Source world of Telecommunications can connect with me offline and or look at : http://www.entvoice.com/training/ [2] Thanks & Regards, Mitul Limbani, Founder & CEO, Enterux Solutions, The Enterprise Linux Company (TM), www.enterux.com +91-9820332422 On Sat 24/10/09 11:59 , Vivek Varghese Cherian vivekcherian(a)gmail.com sent: On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 8:41 PM, Ramang G wrote: > Dear all, > > I plan to do RHCE certification, I have familiarity with Linux servers worked for one year.

'Familiarity' or real time hands on experience with GNU/Linux or a truly community edition operating system like CentOS 5.3 is _not_at_all_ a requirement, You need to just know how to hack (I did not say crack) the North American Linux Vendor's certification exams. The exam is designed in such a manner to very large extend that only people already familiar with the exam pattern (read having paid The North American Linux Vendor 250$ a couple of times as exam fees and having failed in the first few attempts, and and also purchased their so called study materials) can pass. The short cut way is to attend the 'very very special' coaching classes at some places in Mumbai (including at Vibrant and Ultramax). The rates of 'very special coaching' package at the coaching centers can be reduced if you know how to bargain well enough or have a few people as a batch with you. (If you want to know about the rates, kindly contact me off list). A phd in Fish Market style bargaining always helps on such occasions. Please use CentOS 5.3 and set up a small home lab consisting of at least 2 or 3 workstations to prepare for the exam. Try configuring one GNU/Linux box as a router. If possible get an MTNL connection with a static I.P Address (that is what I use these days), It took me just 1 day to get the Static I.P Address assigned (for the TriBand 256 Unlimited Downloads scheme) from the MTNL Vashi Office. The Modus operandi to get the Static I.P Address assigned within a day is to visit the MTNL office and request them (read pester) very very very very politely till they give you one. And you know Bingo it works!!!!! The whole process of setting this home lab and configuring the Hardware and Software itself would make you more than competent to handle the North American Linux Vendor's exam and most importantly will give you hands on experience with basic GNU/Linux Systems and Network Administration. CBT tutorials are good but nothing beats setting up the lab yourself. ps:- I am a practicing Senior GNU/Linux Systems Administrator and I do use Cent0S 5.3 at my work place and also on my personal laptop these days and have been using various GNU/Linux distributions for close to 7+ years including the North American Vendor's offerings.

[OT] internship opportunities in NGOs related to FOSS
by Nikhil Marathe 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi all, I'm a second year engineering student. As part of our curriculum at DA-IICT ( http://www.daiict.ac.in ) we are required to do a rural internship ( ie. work with an NGO and contribute to society in some way ). Now I really want to do this well, so I figured if I could find a place where I could work with technologies I'm passionate about, that would be the best. So I'm really hoping to find some organisation which uses FOSS extensively in its day to day activities and could use another hand. The details are: Time frame: 2-3 weeks in December 2009 Place: willing to go almost anywhere, but I live in mumbai Areas I can work on: * Web development * Software development * Computer/Network setup * System administration * Teaching FOSS My resume can be found at http://22bits.exofire.net/resume.html PS. I would also appreciate pointers to organisations which could use any kind of IT help, not necessarily in FOSS. Thanks a lot, Nikhil

Fwd: [FSF] Why is free software important to you? Submit your response to our new video campaign!
by Nagarjuna G. 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Holmes Wilson <campaigns(a)fsf.org> Date: Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 1:20 AM Subject: [FSF] Why is free software important to you? Submit your response to our new video campaign! To: info-fsf(a)gnu.org, info-member(a)gnu.org The FSF is launching a new advocacy campaign, and we'd love to have you involved. One of the most important tasks for us at FSF is to help foster the understanding that free software is crucial to a free society, and that citizens should switch to free software at home and in their own work, for freedom's sake. But in many ways, most of this work has always been done by the millions of free software users around the world, telling others why they care about free software and what they use it for. So, why not make all that energy, specificity, and persuasion part of our message to the world on FSF.org? And what better way to do it than with videos from free software supporters, published using free formats and an exciting new free standard for online video? In 2-5 minutes, using a camcorder, digital camera, or webcam, you can create a video about why you or a friend love free software. Then submit your video and invite friends to do the same!

Knoppix... at six
by Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरो नया] فريدريك نورونيا 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

SEE VIDEO HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovA3haaDmO4 Knoppix, or KNOPPIX (pronounced /kəˈnɒpɪks/, kə-NOP-iks[2]), is an operating system based on Debian designed to be run directly from a CD / DVD, one of the first of its kind for any operating system. Knoppix was developed by GNU/Linux consultant Klaus Knopper. When starting a program it is loaded from the optical disc and decompressed into a RAM drive. The decompression is transparent and on-the-fly. Although Knoppix is primarily designed to be used as a Live CD, it can also be installed on a hard disk like a typical operating system. Computers that support booting from USB devices can load Knoppix from a live USB flash drive or memory card. Animesh Nerurkar of Goa, India demos Knoppix 6 from his home at Miramar. Oct 20, 2009.

What have been your main projects involving open source in the last six months?* What have been your observations: (i) Are the technologies as robust and useful as you would have expected to find in some of the established proprietary solutions packages? (for eg there are arguments that individual versions of Unix have features that are not found on Linux) (ii)Is the support mechanism well established? (iii) is the support price much lesser than the licensing + support price from vendors selling proprietary software? *2. Finding talent* skilled at open source market – is this still a challenge in India? Do you think that the certifications programs (for testing technical skills related to open source technologies) have sufficiently matured? 3. What happens when technology platforms vary across departments and the diverse platforms don’t talk to each other (for eg. one department uses open source, another uses proprietary) *Is this a problem with many organizations and if so, how is it being resolved*? 4. Do you find the open source v/s proprietary debate a meaningful one or one lacking relevance? (In the wake of the fact that there are an increasing number of alliances between vendors selling proprietary technology and those providing services for open source applications)?

Also, it would be nice if you could post it on the GLUG-Bombay forum...I will be happy to interact with members who want to share their views. I would like to interact with you also.

squid failover using RHCS
by Advait Raut 18 Oct '09

18 Oct '09

Hi guys, I have configured squid server on two nodes. my requirement is to have a squid failover using RHCS. RHCS is also configured with a virtual ip monitoring both the servers. virtual ip :- 192.168.1.100 Now the issue is that my virtual ip is configured on all browsers with port 8080 for proxy purpose. ie:192.168.1.100:8080 now the request coming from browsers with virtual ip and port number 8080 are properly directed to a active server but the request going out from the active squid server doesn't takes virtual ip it takes its on eth0 ip ie:192.168.1.1 of Active server and hits firewall due to which firewall blocks the ip and hence no page is displayed. so what i have did was i have configured iptables postrouting which nats all the outgoing request from eth0 to virtual ip. #iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.1 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to- 192.168.1.100 After this rule am able to receive web pages. but cluster doesn't works at all. what i mean is if i try to shutdown active server the virtual ip doesn't shifts to passive server. note:- before applying iptables the cluster works fine but cat get webpages as mention earlies. please help guys if any body have any solution or have configured RHCS for the same. -- Regards Advait Raut

seeking suggestion for file system ext3/xfs/reiserfs on 6/4TB disk arrays
by Arun Khan 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

If you have been managing Linux filesystems on large disk arrays, I would like to hear your experience/advice on what filesystem you have selected (ext3/xfs/reiserfs/jfs). My main concern with XFS is that fsck.xfs is basically a shell script that always returns success. The utility that does the real check, runs only in single user mode otherwise it complaints "out of memory" (4GB RAM with Dual Xeon 2.0Ghz CPUs). I tried it once on the 4TB fs. It ran for over the weekend and it was still running come Monday morning when I had kill the process and bring the file server back on line for end users. I would appreciate your personal experiences with any of the above fs on TB/PB scale. <background> I have under my administration a file server with two arrays 6TB and 4TB. The consultant prior to me had formatted both the arrays with XFS fs. The client was experiencing frequent disconnects between client stations and the file server - lately it could be resolved only with a system reboot and not just a restart of the NFS server. I tried NFS tuning (increase server threads, rsize, wsize etc.) on the server as well as the client but not much improvement. To resolve finger pointing between hardware and OS/software we asked the hardware vendor to re-certify all the components in the arrays as well as the header. In this process they have cleaned up both disk arrays and we have to start afresh. (I do have backups of the data in two places). </background> Thanks for your time and advice. Regards, -- Arun Khan

Dear mental flossers, I'd written to you a while earlier with the suggestion to form an online classifieds forum for all things FLOSS. The offer still stands. The more the better. I've found a good website though, and it seems to have a lot of eyeballs, judging by the kind of displayed posts. http://fossjobs.wordpress.com/ It *seems* to be the first foss classifieds website from India. It's free. Job seekers may seek more details there. Disclaimer: I don't know the site maintainer and have no professional interest in this website whatsoever.

It will allow you directly download and convert the video to your customised format, even mp3 for sound only. In the Tools -> DownloadHelper menu there is a 'preferences' section. Thats where you first set all your custom preferences and once you are set, simply click on the drop down list of the animated tool icon and select a download video format, it will open another submenu that has options like 'download', 'download and convert' etc. Thats it. It is a one click download and convert to your preferred folder. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Drupal sprint India is a two day non-stop event where Drupal developers, documentation and translation guys will get together to enhance Drupal. We will have code sprints, documentation sprints as well as translation sprints. Join coding sprints to fix patches for upcoming Drupal 7 release or to port modules from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 or to develop new modules from scratch. Join Documentation sprint to document Drupal. Documentation sprint will be headed by Addison Berry, Drupal documentation project lead. Those interested in localization can join the party to translate Drupal to local languages. You need not have *any experience* with enhancing Drupal before hand, even newbies are invited. That is not all, we have more in store for you. Got any Drupal success story to share or you have put Drupal to any innovative use or any magnificent case study where you have integrated Drupal with third party web services or web sites? This is the time to showcase this. Parallel to sprint, we will hold talks and workshops to showcase the capabilities of Drupal beyond CMS to build website. If you have a story to showcase, register for the event right ahead. Talks/Workshop registration ends October 15 2009. All talks and registrations submitted will go through a community voting and top 10 talks plus workshops will be chosen for the event. We plan to hold total of 8 hours of talks and 8 hours of workshops around Drupal over two days. Still interested in Drupal to use it in your next big venture... Just drop in and learn from the best Drupal brains around the country on how to put Drupal to best use. So click http://drupalindia2009.plug.org.in now and register for the event. The event is free, registration is free. All you have to make sure that your code is also FREE. So, what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar for the event dates!!

Ext3 Issues
by Rony 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hello, I had installed a 250 GB SATA drive in my system using a PCI to SATA card. It had 3 partitions. One small primary partition with NTFS and the remaining extended partition with 2 equal and large ext3 logical partitions. Suddenly one day I got ext3 errors while booting and the 2 ext3 partitions would not mount. Both had bad superblocks. One partition with important data could be recovered using e2fsck but the other had a very bad superblock so I finally formatted it again with ext3. The primary NTFS partition was ok all the time. What are the possible causes for this sudden busting of superblocks? The bad blocks check did not reveal any bad blocks so that part was ok. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !
