by Atanu Datta 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi all! This is further to our 'Call for Papers' for Open Source India Tech Days 2009, which is to be held at Chennai Trade Center (Chennai) from 12th to 14th March 2009. Thanks to your encouraging response, we have managed to finalise a few speakers, and draw up the plans for daily seminars. However, we have received many submissions that do not match the goals of various seminars. Thus, we plan to share the exact topics that have been finalised for each seminar (one-by-one). We hope that this effort will result in a better match between the talks and the speaker submissions. Needless to say, this can be a great opportunity for FOSS firms (and consultants) to show-case their talent to an all-India audience. So, if you or your firm has expertise in any of the topics (mentioned below), please feel free to register yourself, or nominate someone else at www.osidays.com.

allowing restricted sites via squid
by sameer shinde 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hi All, We are using squid along with squidguard to block the websites. Now due to company policy we've blocked all the email sites with squidguard blacklist, wherein we've also blocked gmail.google.com Now, our company has purchesed domain name specific mail address from google. for example mail.ourdomain.com, wherein if anyone types mail.ourdomain.com it will be redirected to ourdoman specific gmail. The problem here is as squidguard is blocking gmail.google.com and which is inturn backbehind mail.ourdomain.com, the users are not able to access that site. What we want to do now is, we still want to block gmail access, but if someone goes thru mail.ourdomain.com, then he should get the access to gmail. How can we achieve this? Few more bits about our squid. It is configured in non-transperant mode. i.e. we mannually provide the proxy to users. Also its in non-authentication mode. i.e. it does not checks for username/password. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sameer Shinde.

Hi there, > Have you created an account on Linkedin without having to reveal the > original password for the email id that is used as the username as well > as prevent them from snooping into your contacts list? If so, your tips > could help others from making mistakes like using their original email > password. > Huh ? Guys what the hell are you talking about ? Of course, you can do that ! All the sites that i've ever been too which allow you to import contact information have that as a 'optional' step. You don't *have* to reveal the original password for any email id. Agreed, the way the login workflow proceeds and is presented makes you think that it is an required step, but it isn't ! Try any of the social networking sites (including linkedin). You always have an option to /not/ automatically import your contacts. > However from the link provided by the OP, I was taken to a login page > asking me for an email id as username and a password.

The privacy terms also state that among the information they > will collect will be the email id and a password. For some reason they > are not clear about the password, if it is the original or another one > for the linkedin site. That is a gray area. This is the exact statement ... "When you register an account to become a LinkedIn user (?User?), such as your name, e-mail, country, location, occupation and a password." ..../a/ password is a gray area ?? I would've felt if they wanted to make it grey they would have said "/the/ password". >> The interesting thing is that while there is an agreement (in LinkedIn >> privacy policy) not to sell his email id to a spammer, there is nothing >> that prevents LinkedIn from selling your id to the spammer. An >> interesting view that I had not considered till I got this email. FUD ! from their privacy policy: -------------------------------------- Contacts Information In order to invite others to connect with you directly in LinkedIn, you may use the LinkedIn services to invite them if they are a User, or enter their names and email addresses. This information will be used by LinkedIn to send your invitation including a message that you write. The names and email addresses of people that you invite will be used only to send your invitation and reminders. You may also choose to manually enter or upload data about your contacts into the private ?My contacts? section of the LinkedIn website. You may not invite anyone to connect with you whom you do not know. *****All information entered there will only be viewable by you and will not be searchable by others in the LinkedIn network without your permission.

I guess, these guys fit the bill, right ? http://www.linkedin.com/in/linustorvalds http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/a37/2a Ok, why am i getting so riled up about ? Well, unsubstantiated ranting and sweeping generalization is just as bad as ignorance. So, all you guys screaming at n00bs and saying stuff like ... >>> I hope your machine gets slammed >>> with some virus that destroys all data.

Kmail nuking mails
by Kenneth Gonsalves 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi, I have a folder in kmail with some read messages and some unread messages. The last read message is blank. No subject, no sender, no date and no content. If this is deleted, the next mail also vanishes - no subject, sender, date and content. And if it is deleted same thing happens to the next one. But if I do not delete the 'no subject' mail, I can read the next mail and so on. All the other folders are ok. How would one go about debugging this? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

Information and Communication Technologies or ICTs which have arisen from a convergence of personal computers and the Internet have come, in the last decade or so, to play a vital role in how people live, learn and work. This has opened up a range of new career possibilities for software professionals. This festival will introduce young engineering students to many professional avenues that ICTs make possible, through demonstrations and hands-on activities, presentations, workshops and interactions with established professionals. The exposure will enable them to get the big picture and to draw on the experiences of experts and organisations to map their own journeys towards higher education and a career based on information technology. *Objectives * * To introduce Free Software and gain knowledge of its multi-dimensional aspects and applications. * To make youth aware that ICTs make it possible for individuals to aspire to a professional identity based on personal preferences rather than going for available job slots. * To learn how ICTs can enhance learning processes such as using the Internet for classroom activities and to conduct collaborative research assignments. * Spaces for participation* *Interactive corners:* * interactive corners with hands-on activities * cultural displays such as multimedia, music and films on ICT related subjects. * ICTS and U: interactive seminar on careers in ICTs *Interactive seminar:* A series of exposures for young people to a range of career choices for effective planning and evolution of their professional identities. Employers and professionals in various fields will be invited to speak. Students can get a feel of the kind of work they could do, what compensation they can expect and the preparation needed for those careers in interactive sessions following the presentations. *Interactive workshops:* Workshops around specific topics not offered in the regular curriculum, to enhance skills and show new perspectives. These would be suggested by the college authorities. Some current suggestions which can only be finalised when resource people are located. *Interactive corners:* * SciLab. * Ubuntu demos. * Edubuntu demos. * Graphic Design with GIMP and Inkscape. * Audio recording and editing with Audacity * Laying out a page with Scribus. * Video editing with Film GIMP. *Interactive seminar:* * What is Free Software and why do we need to know it? * GNU-Linux desktop is now ready for you: Prakash Advani. * Possible career options of Free Software also known as Open Source.. * Migrating to Free Software is a breeze: Lajpat Dhingra. * Creating project reports using Latex: Anusha Kadambala. * Relating Free Software to the Bombay University curriculum. * Free Software and the future. *Interactive workshops of two days, parallel sessions:* * LAMP the pillars of web technology. * Web technology using Python. * Networking in GNU-Linux. * Java Basic and Java Advanced. * Mobile computing in J2ME. *Interactive workshops of half day, parallel sessions:* * Someone to introduce PyGame programming * Someone to introduce Gnash beginning with the concept of designing interactive web animation pages * Someone with knowledge of UML diagrams with free software tools such as BOUML, Umbrello, ArgoUML -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in(a)lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in -- I'd horsewhip you if I had a horse. -- Groucho Marx

Most government guys in charge of IT contract allocation don't have a clue about FOSS. Otherwise they have misconceptions about the user-friendliness and installation etc. In the opinion of the forum, should the draft manifesto have screenshots, snippets of disambiguation about the FOSS desktop etc?

Internet problems
by Sanjay Singhvi 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Dear All, Having a problem with getting the network with my MTNL modem through ethernet. I might add that I have MTNL ethernet modems (ADSL) in my home, my office and my father's office. However, though DHCP is enabled on all three, my laptop (Acer Aspire One) does not seem able to connect at any of the three. When I ask for a new connection after connecting the wire (the wire gets detected so I don't get the "no carrier" message) I get the state of device eth0 as "ip configuration" by hovering the cursor over the icon of Knetworkmanager. The ehternet light lights up on the router and the little light at the ethernet point on my laptop also lights up. So I think the cable is ok in all places. The desktops at all the three places are working. One curious thing is that Knetworkmanager tries to make a connection and gives the state for decive eth0 as "ip configuration" even when there is no wire in the ethernet jack if I ask for a new connection. In fact, even when there is no wire, I do not get the "no carrier" message. The connections at the mtnl router level are by PPPoE. The result I get for ifconfig is as follows: sanjay@sanjay-laptop:~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:68:c7:8a:a8 inet6 addr: fe80::21e:68ff:fec7:8aa8/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:1577058210 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:15 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:219 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:78 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:78 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:5058 (5.0 KB) TX bytes:5058 (5.0 KB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:69:47:43:99 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-22-69-47-43-99-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) If there is any more information required please let me know. I am what they call a "noob" and learnt what linux means only about four months ago. I use Kubuntu 8.10 and have the Knetworkmanager on it. I have not installed nm v 0.7 or any other.

05 Feb '09

Hi all, This mail is to announce the formation of the Mumbai Python Users Group as a Google Group.Interested members can subscribe to the list at the following address[1].Aim and agenda of MUMPy is Anything related to Python, with some focus on Mumbai in the lines of ChiPy [2] which is one of the premier Python Users' groups in the US.The basic idea is to promote Python the language in general by educating people and also drive the development of Free & Open Source (as well as commercial) Python applications in Mumbai and beyond. We will hold regular meetings where we can arrange talks, BoFs as well as Hackfests. If we manage to gain enough momentum we can organise an Indian version of PyCon here in Mumbai in the future.On topic discussions are anything related to Python. We probably will frown upon ``homework problems''. Job posts are fine as long as they are marked with [JOBS] in the subject.

Knoppix 6.0 with Audio Desktop Reference Implementation And Networking Environment(ADRIANE)
by Siji Sunny 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello All, Recently Knopper released new version of Knoppix (KNOPPIX 6.0),With lot of new features, which includes. 1.A.D.R.I.A.N.E. <http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-adriane/index-en.html>(Audio Desktop Reference Implementation And Networking Environment) is a talking menu system, which is supposed to make work and internet access easier for computer beginners, even if they have no sight contact to the computers monitor. A graphical environment with also talking programs and arbitrary magnification using compiz-fusion <http://www.compiz-fusion.org/>, is another option. 2.Accellerated boot procedure: Independently from the usual SysV bootscripts, multiple tasks of system initialization are run in parallel, so that interactive desktops are reached very fast. The slowest factor is still udev, start time is reduced to about half compared to versions 5.x 3.LXDE <http://www.lxde.org/> is used as graphical environment, which is a very slim and fast desktop with extremely short starttime and low resource requirements. Because of its GTK2 base, LXDE works together nicely with screenreader Orca <http://live.gnome.org/Orca>.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Linuxers Digest, Vol 70, Issue 1
by Suhit Kelkar 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello, This is about the discussion that took from the FOSS paper initiative. Let's take this opportunity to come good here, for once, at least trying to put our differences behind us. To ensure that this discussion does not disintegrate into name-calling (which is already happening), hurt egos and an abandonment of the original discussion, let us please first agree on the mode of debate. Here are a few questions. They may already have been answered before, but please do reconsider in the light that this forum may not have as high a rate of successful communication/collaboration as we may like. And this is coming from a long-time lurker. We should succeed this time at least, right? The following points are kept general to serve for later conversations as well as this one. 1] Presumably suggestions are to be generated on this forum and elsewhere. Who will 'pool' the suggestions together, if anyone? 2] Is there to be a steering committee for this? If yes, how is the committee to operate? Is it to be a standard majoritarian system (50+1 vote wins) or a municipal-libertarian one (a very large majority is necessary)? 3] Who will chair the think-tank? Who will be seat-holders? 4] What is the penalty for verbal abuse? Removal from the conversation? Removal from the forum? 5] What is the tentative deadline for drafting an action plan? 6] Which are the people/resources we know we've got in the bag? * Here is the 'Six Boxes Approach', (by Bill Blundel, Washington Post) which you can use to structure a mass of information into usable shape, by considering the points: HISTORY IMPACT SCOPE CENTRAL REASONS GATHERING AND ACTION OF OPPOSING FORCES THE FUTURE This can be used while discussing too. Each point will be weighted subjectively of course, but you reach a place of well-rounded thought. Most of the guys here are senior to me on this forum, I hope this email won't come amiss. Sometimes an outsider has a fresh perspective to offer.

When I try to changes it IP number to a different network, it simply does not save it. I realize there are a lot of folks here with the service. Are there any other brands that are compatible with MTNL's ADSL service? What has been your experience with them? TIA, -- Regards, Arun Khan

[Commercial] Call for Papers -- OSI Tech Days
by Atanu Datta 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Dear all, This is a formal call for papers. The Open Source India Tech Days (formerly LinuxAsia) [www.osidays.com] is scheduled for March 12-14, 2009, at the Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai. The 2009 edition will have a strong flavour of technology in it—thus the addition of the word "Tech Days". The target audience of OSI Tech Days ’09 will be (1) IT Managers and (2) Software Developers, who in turn will represent the needs of India’s varied industry segments. Following are the track details for the event: Software Developers’ Track 12th March: FOSS-enabled software development 13th March: FOSS-powered Mobile phones (and devices) IT Managers’ Track 12th March: FOSS Tools for IT Managers 13th March: Virtualization and Cloud Computing Everyone/Desktop 14th March: FOSS-powered desktop (KDE, GNOME, OpenOffice.org, Mozilla, etc.) Additional note: Considering the world-wide recession, the idea is to turn this into an opportunity (for good) for large-scale FOSS adoption around the region. Thus, the idea behind Tech Days is to demonstrate to the mass how with FOSS we can make computing better, faster and cheaper, whether it's deployment or development. We're looking for experts in their particular domain of work, who could be working for an organisation, or as an individual. You can ping us off-list with the following details at lfyedit [AT] efyindia [DOT] com: [1] Which particular track and the target audience of the talk. [2] Title of the talk, with a brief outline. [3] A little bit of background information about yourself. [4] Whether you've ever spoken earlier. [5] Whether you'd require travel, logistics, or any other facilities. With best regards, Atanu Datta Editorial Coordinator, LINUX For You magazine

Which means the request is going to the airtel server & the request is coming back upto the proxy server, but it is not passing through proxy. Can someone let us know, why is this happening? Also, If I access the website from my proxy server(direct connection to internet), it works properly without any problem. here is the o/p of squidclient http://117.99.128.32/ HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:02:27 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) PHP/4.3.7 X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.7 Location: /login/index.php Content-Type: text/html X-Cache: MISS from proxy-server X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from proxy-server:3128 Via: 1.0 proxy-server (squid/3.0.STABLE1) Proxy-Connection: close ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sameer Shinde.

which stable version should one use
by sameer shinde 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi All, Whenever I visit squid-cache.org site. I always have a doubt is, why there are multiple stable version available for production release? What i mean is, when there is 3.0 stable release is available for production, then still why 2.7 is available. I can understand that, older versions should be available to the users, but then it may come under older version head not in the current versions list. Other thing is, when there is a latest version available, what is the need of develpment in the older version. i.e when we've ver3.0 then why 2.8. All the patches, bug fixes, new additions can be done in the newer release then why ver2.8? Is there any specific reason for that? If yes, then which version one should use? Because all the versions give you production release. I also have observed that, even after publishing the stable version on site, they withdraw the older stable version, do something & again put back. My question is, if you withdraw any software version for any reason, it does not become a stable version. If anyone is doing some bug fixing into it or even a minor change of code, it should appear in the latest stable release. This gives you a track of bugs & bugfixes. But if you takeback any stable release and put it again after some time. What does it mean? If it was stable why it was taken back? If not does it really justify the stability? For e.g. At this moment , the squid3.0 stable 10, stable3, stable 2 are withdrawn. Some peoples find my questions silly, but I've a doubt and its always better ask instead of knowing nothing. And I'm also sure, many of ours must have asked this question to themself, but never been answered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sameer Shinde.

kget can resume downloads, other download managers can't
by Nikhil Marathe 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi all, I've been having the annoying problem for quite a few days. kget is able to resume interrupted file transfers effortlessly. However wget, curl, axel, lftp when trying to resume, send the appropriate Range Header in HTTP/1.1 but fail to get a reply back. They wait for a long long time, still nothing. What is it that causes this, and is their a solution, so that I can use wget/curl for the downloads. Thanks, Nikhil

Choice of PDA
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hi, I am in the market for a new PDA. I've been using a Handspring Visor for the last several years but it's now really falling apart :(. Initially I used to sync it to linux using coldsync + conduits but later found jpilot and things were really cool. Two way sync was a dream. I presently also have a Sharp Zaurus 5500 but with openzaurus gone and angstrom developers not really interested in developing for the 5500, I have been looking at stuff on the net and can't really make up my mind. I need the following: Sync - both ways with a _linux desktop_ natively. This is essential. I'm willing to bust my chops setting it up the first time but I'd love to have a scenario where I just plug it in (or use wifi/bt) and it syncs. Calender - with reminder Contacts - with categories (this seems to nix the Nokia E51) Password wallet - again essential, preferably something I can read on my desktop too. At present I am using gnukeyring, which is perfect for the job. Ability to install other software - I have some medical books, and OTP generator amongst other things. Think kismet/wellenreiter. Cross platform - I'd love to be able to have the ability to sync my _next_ pda/smartphone with this desktop software and not have to manually copy over all my stuff. wifi/bt - either but both would be super. I have looked at the Nokia E51, and seen openmoko on the net. Any other choces ? any gotchas ? I have looked at opensync but it does not seem to be ready yet. I've looked at online sync services but I don't want to trust a 3rd party. I am using kubuntu at present. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K R Pavri. Homoeopath, Linuxer.

>> This is the big mistake that people not familiar with IT (and FOSS ) >> make. It's not the price, it's the Freedom. One should stress that IT >> is crucially dependent on the software to achieve it's magic. We completely agree. Governments look at cost in a big way and we have been try ing to get across the point that freedom matters and what advantages freedom br ings. However, while we do not stress on the cost angle, we cannot ignore it either. For eg.when governments can use Open Office and save lakhs of rupees on license fee for MS office, they should be going for Open Office and should not spend p ublic money on proprietary software. > > ANY lug group will be very supportive.

Request support : Gujarat governments possible move to have FOSS in schools state-wide
by vinay sreenivasa 24 Jan '09

24 Jan '09

Hi All, I am Vinay from IT for Change, an NGO in Bangalore. The Gujarat government has announced a 500 crore ICT education program for its schools. (http://www.indianexpress.com/news/rs-500-cr-for-computers-in-schools/405217/ ) .They have also said that they are inclined to opt for FOSS in the schools. They have not however fully decided. What has possibly queered the pitch is that Microsoft has said that they will offer windows for free. Getting FOSS in schools will greatly benefit the Gujarat government and all the students. Hence some of us are initiating a campaign to influence the government to decide in favour of FOSS. We need the support of the FOSS community here, especially the FOSS community from Gujarat. I am writing to ILUG-Bombay though since I heard that a lot of members here are supportive of the Gujarat FOSS scenario. If a lot of people from Gujarat join us in the campaign it will help to get the government to go the FOSS way. Showing the Gujarat government that there is a vibrant FOSS community might assure them that there might be support for them if they go the FOSS way. What will also tip the scale is if can show the government that a localised (Gujarati) distro of FOSS, localised FOSS apps exists, which can be used in schools. We need the help of the community here too - to help us figure out what apps/distros should be suggested. Requesting your support in this campaign. Please do write back to let us know if you can support us/ if you have any queries. Please do write back for any suggestions as well. Thanks, Vinay. -- Vinay Sreenivasa IT for Change 91-98805-95032 vinay(a)itforchange.net http://itforchange.net http://india.is-watch.net/ http://is-watch.net
