The real problem is due to the fact that Mailman is making adjustments to the mails time to bring it to IST only in the archives, and not in the digests. Dinesh's mail headers indicate that his system time might be set to GMT. In the archives the adjustment to IST caused his mail to be listed on 17Jul, but the same was not done in the archives. Hence the confusion. Sorry for sending the strange mail to the list. But you see I did not have access to a 'personal' list to recreate the bug, and I had the impression that the error might be on this list only. Cheers, Debarshi

Running Firefox 1.5.0.4 from FC5
by Vivek Buwa 17 Jul '06

Hello All, This is my first email to the group and by seeing the previous messages I will get the answer/s here. I m a new linux user and installed FC5 y'day. It was having Firefox 1.5.0.1. I downloaded and extracted the tarball of latest version of firefox which is 1.5.0.4. When I tried to open the executable 'firefox' file.. it opened the new firefox window but of the older version only. So I removed all the folders named Firefox having older version. Then put the latest version Firefox's executable in /usr/bin directory. The tried giving 'firefox' command in console.. it gives me error.. "Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting." when i try to execute the firefox executable from extracted tarball itself by giving command "./firefox".... it gives me error "./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"! Can I get help regarding this issue.. How can I start latest version of firefox? ........ AND hi Dinesh! Vivek here! I seen ur replies.

How robust is the WWW::Babelfish module?
by Rohit V Bhute 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

I'm working on translating strings in a Perl script from English to Italian using the WWW::Babelfish module. While the script is a no-brainer, I've been stumped by the reliability of the module. For most of the last three days, it gave no output for strings beyond a certain length (that I can say was around 25 characters). Admittedly, its author claims it is for "fun"; but he also mentions that it broke input to the Babelfish service into chunks of 1000 characters, so my sting length shouldn't be a problem. I 've been tasked to make a script that will translate a set of strings from one language to another, reliably. When I tested the script from home, it didn't work yesterday either, but then it worked right now. Any hints/clues would be welcome. If anyone wants to look at the code, please let me know so I can mail it to you off-list. -- Rohit V. Bhute http://blog.rvbhute.org

Basically, it has been set once, and I thought I wrote the password down safely, but perhaps too safely, as I now do not know where to find it. I have tried my obvious passwords and none work. Luckily, I have the password stored in one computer so I can administer the router for now, but this is hardly a safe situation. I tried changing the password from that machine too, but before accepting the command it needs authentication (using the forgotten password) manually. The firmware is ver B, and it turns out that this model is not supported (ver A to E are supported excepting B) in India. I would also like to know if (and how) the firmware can be changed, as I would like to experiment with mesh networking and long delay distance networking. Vickram

Well I cant use VSNL as smart host as customer uses iqara network and VSNL allows only its own network to use its own SMTP. So their is no smart host, its directly delivery. But right now I am interested in solving "lookup failure" problem first not this one. You may be right for this "invalid sender" problem. Thanks. Amish.

mail delivery problem with china
by Amish Mehta 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hello All, I have a customer who uses linux (RH9) and sendmail as outgoing SMTP server. There is a strange problem. SMTP server delivers e-mails everywhere around the world except the domains in China. Most of times sendmail gives errors that "lookup failed" and returns e-mails after 5 days of trying. These are domains hosted in China. Sometimes delivery succeeds when I do: sendmail -v -q For some domains it states "invalid sender xyz(a)vsnl.net" and keeps trying for 5days. I tried with local DNS as well as ISP (iqara) DNS. But problem exists with both. On Googleing I found someone having same problem way back in 2001 but there was no solution. Also I found there is lots of control by Chinese government. Is this problem with RH9? or sendmail with RH9? But then why does problem occur only with China? So please let me know if someone has (had) same problem and solution if it was solved. Thanks in advance. Amish. P.S. OT question: anyone know if iqara provides SMTP server?

But, there are many GNU packages which are flaunting MP3 support. Is this not strange? Moreover these patents are very strangely worded. eg., the LZW and GIF patents prohobit you from making programs that encode pictures in GIF, but there is no restriction on decoding them; I heard although MP3 is patented the ID3 tags are not. In fact my only requirement is reading the tags. Now dont claim that you know more about patents than Dr. Richard M. Stallman, and Prof. Eben Moglen put together. Cheers, Debarshi

I've tried connecting my video camera's composite output, but the display is always in black and white. There is no problem with the card since on windoze OS I am getting proper colour display.

Not much as you will see except a few regular folks who blog and whose feeds get syndicated (planetised so to speak). I keep on bumping across blogs of various folks in India who do FLOSS - advocate, code, provide artwork, zap bugs and anything that comes to your mind and now and then I try and pull the feeds into the planet. I would like to get this Planet growing (check www.randomink.org as to why it started) and so would request for blog feeds (yours or your friends) which can be aggregated. Oh !! a nice hackergotchi would also be cool although it is optional.

Re: MTNL ADSL router

> And > the crappy > internal webpage does not render in FF / Konqueror. It does in firefox, but certain specific functions do not work. Don't know about Konqueror. Did not try it. For example, When you logout, it confirms whether you wish to close the window, and irrespective of what you click, "Yes" or "No", the window would still be open! But I too, would recommed Dlink 502T Router. Though, I couldn't configure it for using it through USB port, I managed to connect to the internet through Ethernet. Also, if you are planning to buy an ethernet card, incase you don't have one, buy a DLink Ethernet card. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
