switching off internet when not in use in Ubuntu
by BombayNews 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Dear all, I think my Internet usage (MTNL Triband) has increased ever since I switched over to Ubuntu! Earlier when I had Windows XP I could disable Triband by right clicking the Internet connectivity icon on the bottom right of the screen. There is no such blinking icon on Ubuntu and the net stays on even while I want to work offline. How to get this so that I can switch off Internet when I want to work offline? regards shiv kumar

PPPoE problem.
by Rony 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Hello All, A client of mine was happily using Mandrake 10.1 on his system for 2 years. About 6 months ago the cable guy switched over to PPPoE using raspppoe. So I had installed rp-pppoe for linux and everything was fine. Now they have again made changes like no static or dynamic ip assignment. The guy claims that he has only replaced a defective switch but now the rp-pppoe is not able to detect any access concentrator. Raspppoe works fine in windows and can establish a connection. The customer has totally moved over to linux so is handicapped without any internet connection. Please help with any suggestions. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!

Re: Linux compatible motherboards

mobo - Gigabyte K8N-SLI chipset - nForce4 SLI Chipset processor - amd64 4400x2 Linux compatiblity: Overall, this is fine with the latest 64 bit versions of Debian(Ubuntu and Mepis) /FC/Suse/Mandriva, and 32 bit Arch Linux Onboard Sound - OK Onboard ethernet - OK Older versions of some distros have issues with the SATA controller nVidia gaphics cards run fine with the proprietry dviers on most. Advice - Not all applications/libs/drivers have 64 bit versions - in case of propreitry stuff, check for availablity, and keep at least one 32 bit partition as well.

Use GPLv3 for Linux Kernel says Bruce Perens
by പ്രവീണ്‍‌|Praveen 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Ultimately, we need to recognize that Linux is a 15-year-old kernel and that there will be another technical development to superscede it eventually. I can't say what that will be, but I think the best chance of mobilizing individual contribution to it would be to use GPL 3. *Bruce* http://digg.com/linux_unix/Use_GPLv3_for_Linux_Kernel_says_Bruce_Perens Cheers Praveen -- "Value your freedom, or you will lose it, teaches history. `Don't bother us with politics', respond those who don't want to learn." -- Richard Stallman Me scribbles at http://www.pravi.co.nr

debian installation complexcity, can't get installation menu.
by krishnakant Mane 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

hello rony, jtd mehul and all other friends. I tried to install debian from 3.1 rc 2. the problem is that I want to select 2.6 kernel and also want to get the menu for selecting the packages I want to install. the main problem is that I can either select the kernel or with debconf-priority=medium, get the menu. but I want to do both the things. I also want to make choices for packages to be installed and also have 2.6 kernel install which does not happen by default. can some one give me the proper conbination of the command line parameters to be passed? I have started the installer more than 15 times but could not figure it out. by the way if at all I think of buying the debian cds, should I buy all the 14 cd set? or else the first 4 will suit the need? I want to make one server setup and one work station setup with modest packages like office and related tools, cd writing, firefox evolution etc. mehul, I had requested you to download the debian cds for me. but it seams I have to do a setup at one of my customer this coming thursday. if any one already have the latest debian cds can I get them burned? or if some one have a faster internet connection like mtnl broad band with night time free download, I will be happy if some one could download the cds in a couple of days. else I may try getting older version from some where. thanks all. Krishnakant.

Help wanted : ideas
by sankalp shere 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

Hello, We are planning to make ext2/3 file system driver in windows with the help of which one can access linux partitions from windows in dual boot pc. Since there already exist many open source tools for it (some examples: ext2ifs, ext2fs), we want to make something extra and different. We are thinking of making something like "wine that exists in linux" or cygwin(cygwin i guess is just a simulation unlike wine which can run actual win exes). But not getting any exact idea of what to do. People plz suggest something that is challenging but viable(tough combo :) ) in one year, really useful (one may think why the hell one would want to run linux prog on windows that too on dual boot pc where you can just reboot, basically that winwala thing is just an idea). All people who have some innovative ideas about such tools and cross-platform FS, in general, access plz let us know. bye, take care.

listing Scenarios for usibility of linux on desktop, please contribute
by krishnakant Mane 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

hello all, I recently changed a couple of retail pharmasies to use gnu/linux on their desktop. first of all they were very resistent because their data management softwares were working on foxpro and so changing to gnu linux was impossible. but the main reason for their complain was that their software had grown too old and they wanted a new faster and efficient software. I proposed to developed that for them in java. then I told them about linux, took a ubuntu live cd and demonstrated and they were impressed. then I asked them a simple question "why do you use computers?" they told me for their daily work. so I asked "ok means you are using the computer for data management word processor tasks etc. so it is not because you want to use some thing called windows?" one of them told me "windows ho ya kuch bhi, kam hone se matlab hain. tumhara system sab karta hain kya?" as we all know linux can be equally good for all the tasks mentioned above, I told them yes. now that gave me an idea. why don't we all linux users start a thread and keep on putting in feedback of Scenarios where we have practically seen gnu/linux working? I underline the word practically seen, because some may only say on the basis of what they have herd. like for example I tryed to convince another client of my company who already uses gnu/linux on the server to use it on the desktop after a demo of ubuntu. but he said "the system is great but does not seen to have autocad which is the backbone of his business". here I could not do any thing but to remove the live cd and boot the machine back to windows. so please put in your feedback on this. where do you thihnk desktop linux can go and where it can't. thanking all. Krishnakant.
