Please, please post messages relevant to the thread. For your
questions, you can create a new thread if one doesn't already exist,
or you can atleast change the subject line of the tread. Its becoming
miserable following threads, with messages suddenly deviating from the
topic. Sure you can find answers to your question here, but how will
anyone be even willing to answer such a question in a thread that
everyone is trying to avoid?

Hi,
  If none of you can resist bashing M$ here, atleast mark this topic
as off-topic (OT). I understand that as Free s/w promoters, its
habitual for us to throw anything we can get hold of at the monopoly
abuser. But this has nothing to do with our original mission.
Mudslinging M$ will not improve free s/w.

  Besides, if you say that this discussion is to expose M$'s dirty
tactics, it has the opposite effect. As Carbon monoxide would say, you
just do not want to give them more Google search points. Each time you
post a message with a link to that dirty site, you improve the chances
of that site turning up during a Google search. Just count how many
links are there to that site - nearly a dozen in this thread alone!

  You should be trying to bury that site- not make it more visible.
Just remember how the free s/w community managed to hide an allegedly
illegal free s/w called DeCSS- a CD copy protection cracker. They
posted links on another free s/w - also called DeCSS. Also remember
how a group of bloggers posted links to a web page, so that when you
searched 'weapons of mass destruction', it would lead to a page that
mocks US govt.

[fsug-tvm] Re: introduction

[Visakh]

  Wow! That's some compliment, coming from you, sir! I am really
flattered!

  In reality, Zacharia reminded me of the circumstances under which I
started experimenting with FOSS and GNU/Linux. That is, when I was a
+1 Loyolite. During that time, I was completely inexperienced and used
to experiment extensively- often failing with disastrous consequences
and drawing a lot of flak from my parents. I was desperately searching
for help. But I was convinced that FOSS would provide me an
unparalleled opportunity to learn. Needless to say, I was right - it
went so far as to secure me a job!

  Today, I shudder with fear to think of others facing the same
difficulty. Luckily, groups like these are here. Still, I have my fair
share of respect for all beginners - for showing the courage to take
the plunge. Sometimes, not even the best students don't show that
quality of learning. As for me, working with people in this group is a
privilege.

  Wow! Blender?!!! Blender and Inkscape take enormous effort to
master, though once you have learned, it is very efficient and easy to
use. Also, consider the fact that very few centres conduct
professional training for DTP operators and Graphics designers using
free software. That leads me to believe that they learned it all by
themselves- and now they are teaching others.

  If all the facts we have are correct, these people may be even
greater free software fans and preachers than many of us here. I am
sure that we are in for a pleasant surprise if we contact them.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Telnet not working

[Visakh]

Hi,
  I don't know if this is relevant here, but in Gnu/Linux systems, I
have seen integers commonly used in place of subnet mask. This integer
indicates how many MSBs (most significant bits) of the 32 bit subnet
mask is 1. Thus, a subnet mask 255.255.0.0 would correspond to 16 and
255.255.255.0 would correspond to 24. Besides, the hosts.allow man
page says this:

An  expression of the form ‘n.n.n.n/mm’ is interpreted as a ‘net/
masklength’ pair, where ‘mm’ is the number of consecutive ‘1’ bits in
the netmask applied to the ‘n.n.n.n’ address

Regards,
Gokul Das


On May 15, 4:43 pm, Syam Krishnan sya...@gmail.com wrote:
 What are those /24 doing at the end of these lines? 'man hosts.allow'
 tells me that the subnet mask can follow the IP address after the /.
 i.e. something like: 192.168.174.0/255.255.255.0
 But none of the formats indicate an integer value after the IPv4
 address. What did you mean by that 24? Is it the port number?
 I suggest you remove the /24 after the IP addresses and restart the server.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Kerala University registration

[Visakh]

Hi,
  Let me clarify a few points:

1) Using ASP may not be against our IT policy- its just a scripting
language. But it is an indicator that the server is an IIS running on
a windoze server. Isn't that against our IT policy of favouring FOSS?

2) The site has 2 parts:

  i) The home part that is hosted in Canada with IP addr:
216.55.97.83. Its HTTP header names its server as: Apache/1.3.41
(Unix) PHP/4.4.4 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8g

  ii) A part that deals with student info, registration etc (http://
kucc.keralauniversity.edu). This is our controversial subject. It is
hosted in India (NIB) with IP addr: 210.212.239.17. Its HTTP header
names its server as: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

  Its not possible to entirely believe these information, since it is
possible to spoof server info. It can be concluded only on the basis
of other clues. But atleast in this case, the info seems reliable.

Gokul Das

Hi,
  An online call centre for FSUG won't be such a hard proposition. But
only if XMPP multi user chat (for conference chats) and Jingle (for
initiating peer to peer voice/video chat) were supported well on GNU/
Linux systems. I guess we will have to wait till then.

  And one more clarification. My real name is Gokul Das, not Visakh.
Visakh was my official name a long time back before it was changed. I
adopted Visakh as my alias back when I joined this group. At the time,
I was just a lurker, and didn't want to be identified easily. So, if
you call me home, please identify me as Gokul. The name Visakh tends
to confuse everyone else at home.

Hi Jikku, I helped Zacharia over phone and IM yesterday. But we had a
problem. He has an Nvidia gforce graphics card and Hardy indicated
that restricted driver for it was available. I asked him to install
it- but as soon as it was finished, the system started suffering
recurring kernel panics. This is probably some problem with the
proprietary driver. I have asked him to disable the driver as soon as
he reboots. But one step remains- the xorg.conf should have been
backed up (xorg.conf.bak or something) and replaced by the driver
utility. We need to restore the backup. I couldn't do this due to the
problems. But this will also mean that the display will revert to
800*600 resolution. So you will have to add the correct resolution to
xorg.conf file. I hope you can help him with this. If you need help
with this, please do contact us.

[fsug-tvm] Re: 3gp no sound

[Visakh]

Hi,
  I think I know that problem- I have experienced the same. The
problem is that 3GP from Nokia, Sony Erricson etc embeds audio in SAMR
format (Adaptive Multi-Rate Floating point). This is a patented and
highly protected format. So, GNU/Linux playback engines like gstreamer
and xine intentionally avoid supporting it, instead choosing to
totally neglect the audio stream.

  The suggested solution includes installing Real player (I don't know
if it works) or custom compiling AMR codecs. The AMR codecs are
maintained as a separate project (amrnb and amrwb libraries) at
http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr . I don't know how to deal with these
libraries, but hope this helps:

[fsug-tvm] Re: Kerala University registration

[Visakh]

Hi,
  Aneesh! Thanks for the article. But ASP alone may not explain why
you are having problems with firefox. ASP is a server side scripting
technology - it has no effect at the browser. If designed properly, it
should be possible to write an ASP page that works flawlessly at any
browser (Orkut is on ASPX). The problem really is what Sasi sir points
out- non adherence to W3C (World wide web consortium) standards. W3C
is the organization that defines web standards like HTML, CSS etc. Its
like all other web browsers follow W3C while IE follows a totally
different standard. Good developers write W3C compliant pages and
tweak them to work on IE, while half trained ones write pages that
work only on IE. That may be what happened with University.

  If you believe that a complaint is going to solve it- it will be
less than half your worries (and theirs). The site is one of the
crappiest I have ever seen. There is a well known vulnerability that
allows others to view your marklist without requiring your password
(that which they tried to avoid). I once did a rudimentary
vulnerability check on the site. It was just short a cracking attempt
- but if somebody wanted to crack it, the site would collapse in less
than 5 minutes. The site does critical operations like input
sanitation right at the browser using javascript (baaad design!). I
was able to turn off javascript and pass a spurious input. The server
threw up an error with all the internal details - including about HTML
and SQL servers. Forcing this kind of error is the essential first
step in a site cracking. I didn't proceed any further- but just
imagine someone passing some spurious SQL query. They have tons of
student data on the server just waiting to be mauled on!

  So how do you expect a team that can't even ensure basic security to
ensure W3C compliance? Its not so much about arrogance as it is about
incompetence. Having said so much- I am not not trying to discourage
you. I can empathize with you. Its annoying when somebody blames your
choice instead of their own incompetence. Its even worse when it is
about something important as student registration. Finally, as an
epilogue- I can no longer access my student details (incl marklist).
This happens every time- albeit to different students!

Hi,
  I have the problem solved, albeit partially.

On May 9, 12:29 pm, Syam Krishnan sya...@gmail.com wrote:
 In Fedora, in the 'Network configuration' utility, you can set a static

  Thanks for the very valuable info ശ്യാം ചേട്ടാ. I was able to
identify the 'Network configuration' as 'system-config-
network' [ http://fedoramobile.org/Members/MrHappy/system-config-network
]. Unfortunately, it isn't available even on Ubuntu repository.
Besides, the page itself says, NetworkManager and system-config-
network do not handle support for  static IP addressing very well.
Better support of static IP addresses is planned and in-progress for
NetworkManager in the future. So, I guess I will have to wait more.

  Sunil sir, thanks for the link - it proved most helpful in figuring
out the problem. All the while, I was trying to rename the 'Auto eth1'
connection and set its method from DHCP to manual. Seems that this is
not enough- you have to 'Add' a new connection and 'copy-paste' the
MAC address to it. This was exactly what പ്രസാദ് ചേട്ടന്‍ was
suggesting earlier -but I never even guessed that the problem was in
the way of editing connections. It may be a problem with the way NM
chooses the default profile.

  That however doesn't solve my problems completely. NM assigns the
Static IP only after someone has logged in locally (this wasn't the
case with NM 0.6). On the other hand, I need static IP for remote SSH
login, possibly with no one locally logged in. So it seems that the
only option left to me is to deactivate NM for now and use text
configuration- until they fix it. Meanwhile, I will give WICD a try
and see if it fits my need. Thanks everyone, for the valuable help!

Hi,
  Is there any way to setup static IP address in latest versions of

With the YouTube plugin you can browse YouTube and watch videos from

  Backtrack is live CD distro, though a vmware image is also

  Now if want to install BT4 on harddisk, it is possible, but very
risky and not recommended. There is a big chance that a normal user
would screw up the installation process. If you still want to install
it, make sure you understand each step well enough before you attempt
it (you have to do it at your own risk). Detailed procedure are

[fsug-tvm] Re: Linux Mint 6 problem

[Visakh]

Hi,
  Since the signs of trouble begin with the POST screen - even before
the OS menu, it is most likely a hardware trouble as ശ്യാം ചേട്ടന്‍
points out. Doesn't sound like a software problem to me. I just faced
the same problem with my system. Your symptoms indicate that the
system has trouble reading the boot device (Harddisk). It may be a
mechanical or electronic issue. In such a case, any test will indicate
that the file system is fine, but the operation of the system will be
erratic - with frequent freezes (due to virtual memory- especially
windoze). I suggest that you backup all data and take the system to a
service station and have it checked (especially the HDD).

  If your linux mint is still operational, try this (in a terminal)
and post the output here. This gives a health report of the hard
disk.

sudo apt-get install smartmontools
sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda

  Please note that I assume you have only one hard disk and it is
listed as /dev/sda. If mint is not operational, you can try HDD Health
(http://www.panterasoft.com/) on Windows.

require specialized equipment and technician. That, considering
possibility that the UPS may not be faulty at all.

  More information is needed to find the exact fault - you don't get
much of that from symptom description alone. So I can't suggest much
more. But, I would like to know if you faced any problems after
replacing the SMPS. Also what make your motherboard is. Seeing that it
was your SMPS that blew up (or was it the motherboard?)- opening up
and examining the blown supply by a proficient engineer may help
identify the cause- but very few people bother doing that.

Hi,
  There are several effects that conflict with each other. That is,
they won't work together, and only one can be chosen at a time. An
obvious example is Desktop wall and Desktop Cube effects.

[fsug-tvm] Re: kind of attack

[Visakh]

Duck and cover! The Chinese are attacking! Ok, may be that is not what
is happening! But at any rate- it is advisable not to probe the
attacker. The best defense on the net for us commoners is to remain
completely stealthy. Trying to probe the attacker will just give away
more data for the attacker to use. Don't risk it unless you are a
security expert. You should consider using a firewall to completely
block any intrusion attempts (Firestarter or iptables). Once you set
up the firewall, you can go to this site to make sure you are
stealthy:

https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

  As for this particular incident, I am not sure what kind of attack
it is, or even if it is an attack (I am not a security expert). And
the chinese characters may not necessarily mean that it is in china.
Anyway, besides firewall- I also recommend that you check your system
for any rootkits (chkrootkit).

[fsug-tvm] Re: Can Linux destroy the hardware?

[Visakh]

Hi,

@BINNY
  The more you describe the problem, the more it appears to me like a
power supply issue rather than a power management issue. As far as I
know, all computer CRT monitors are designed to switch off their CRT
when the video signal form the system disappears. Other than that,
their CRT power is in no way controlled by the power management system
of the computer. The monitor supply is directly connected to AC mains-
even when connected to the rear of the SMPS. Besides, the cable that
connects the monitor to system (VGA) is analog. It carries not much
digital info. You can verify this here: http://pinouts.ru/Video/VGA15.shtml
. All these indicate a serious issue somewhere in your power supply
and the power management system is innocent. For now, however, I would
recommend avoiding sleep mode till you get your power supply issue
solved. And as for the frequent monitor on/off - its always slightly
strenuous - but the monitor manufacturers take care of that. It won't
cause any realistic damage.

  And for the stabilizer - most manual stabilizer have a dial that is
used to select a voltage range (ie, transformer step-up ratio). They
still have an automatic negative feedback voltage controller element
after that. I am not sure how this would affect a UPS connected to it-
but, it wont be much different from when an automatic stabilizer is
connected. So I still wouldn't recommend its use. Now the UPS- it is
designed to isolate the mains and connect the inverted battery source
when the voltage drops too low. This is not unusual. But if you are
facing frequent mains drop, better get your mains and UPS checked.

@ Yadu
  I believed you the first time you wrote that there was an 'insane'
scheme. You didn't have to put the link up here to convince me :) .
But still, thanks very much for the informative link. If you look
carefully, you will find that the acpi kernel module was patched to
make it insane. So it is very unlikely that any distro will use this
'insane' patch. But that link is important for me since it has some
data for me to ponder over.

@ nishandh
  Until recently, Ubuntu and may be other distros had some problems
with power management- may be due to wrong sequence of power modes.
But there was nothing that would blow up motherboards or crash and
burn HDDs. Otherwise, many other competitors, including the 'all
powerful monopolistic corporation' would have cashed on it.

 That was a really informative and well laid out post :)

Thanks for the compliment :). I was forced to write this up because he
mentioned that reputation of Linux had taken a beating. That just
makes our job of preaching FOSS a little harder. So I had to try to
dispel some myths. The only way to win is to be competitive. Happy to
see that you found it interesting.

 And yes. I never meant that ubuntu does damage by
 using default management options.

I didn't imply that- I make it a point never to attack someone
personally. I was just using your point to add some relevant details.

 Its just that the net
 has got lots of power management tweaks that just might
 turn out to be unhealthy.But it also turns out the tweaks
 are also labelled  completely insane ! ,  experimental 
 etc which is enough of a warning :)

  Thats interesting! (Completely insane?!! LOL!!). But that's exactly
what I meant- the engineers should know what they are doing. The
'experimental' and 'insane' schemes are unlikely to make it to release
builds, since any hardware damage will cause serious dent in
reputation for the distro- even when it is not the distro's fault.
That's why I added that I had no problems with them.

[Visakh]

Hi,
  There is not enough detail to suggest a final solution. However, you
can check this first- Open up the ALSA mixer panel (double click the
speaker icon on the notification area on top panel). Then make sure
that  volume controls for 'Master', 'PCM' and 'Front' are all set to
maximum. When 'PCM' control is at lowest, it often gives out some
crackling sound when any audio is playing.

 Some soggession is there saying swtching from pppoe to bridge is good with a
 firewall.This could be also done with the above instructions.


I heard the same suggestion from my friend, but to date I have found
no explanation why it is so. Infact, it looks like PPPoE is better due
to following factors:

a) PPPoE allows you to connect more than one system simultaneously.
b) PPPoE gives an 'always ON' connection whereas bridged connection
gets terminated when your system is shut down.
c) PPPoE reconnects automatically when link fails. Bridge doesn't.
d) PPPoE also allows you to login automatically. Bridge requires login
from your system
e) In PPPoE mode, gateway acts like a firewall (no open ports). In
bridged mode, the system is vulnerable.
f) Slight increase in speed is reported with bridging, with no
explanations whatsoever. Looks like they were predestined to judge the
bridged mode faster.

Looks to me like it is an unsubstantiated rumour or myth. Can somebody
please throw some light on this?

[fsug-tvm] Re: Discontinuing Install Fests

[Visakh]

  I really find it hard to believe! Exactly one year after we started
our series of installfest, every city folk interested in GNU/Linux has
learned to install it themselves! Remember how many people turned up
for the first installfest? Either we achieved our targets well beyond
our wildest dreams, or we have seriously faltered in our pre-
installfest PR jobs (No flame intended). I am interested in knowing
what everyone thinks.

  Anyway, I am in support of this idea. No meaning in setting up an
install venue if no one is going to install something there. However,
for phase 2, we need some interesting activity to keep up the interest
in FOSS. Any ideas as interesting as installfests?

 The point you were saying
 A new fully integrated UI, may be a cross
 platform one, can give GEDA a new lease of life. Something like
 KICAD's UI. As of now, it is still a hackers' toy - not something you
 would call production standard. Many may disagree with me on this, but
 most users wont even try a design tool that requires them to touch the
 command prompt. That's a shame considering how good the rest of GEDA is.
 is nice, BUT is it possible?

Why not? They created Free OS, free browsers, free media frameworks,
free everything. How hard is it going to be to develop a new UI for an
already well developed app stack? Remember that even in Kerala, more
than enough talent is available to custom modify or develop software
to meet our requirements (eg: SMC). Anyone with enough experience in
GEDA and some toolkit should be able to do it (provided they have
time). On the other hand, if you dont want to get your hands dirty,
simply outsource the job. With small contributions from the user
community, there should be enough resources to employ an IT firm to do
that job (hmm, I need to ponder this!). There are a lot of firms that
has the ability and willingness to do so.

  At this point, that seems much easier than changing the quality of
education. That would require changing the mindset of an entire
generation of students and teaching staff. I am not against that idea-
but in practise, thats harder. Heck! I can't even get them to try
Firefox- how do I convince them to use GEDA? I try my best to
popularize free s/w too. But nobody cares! All they care about is
whether it is easy to use. Tell them about command prompt, and all
your efforts are in vain. I am not understating work of educators like
Ranjith sir or David sir, but ask them how many people take genuine
interest in their ideas and take over their work where they leave off.
That's why, a polished UI for these apps would help. You have to
admit- there are a lot of companies that sell crappy s/w with shiny
UIs. Even SPICE apps that we use at college are generations behind
GNUCAP etc- but they have simple UIs.

  Please do not take this as a deliberate criticism. I cherish work
done by people like you and David sir. I always look up to them to
provide guidance in my efforts. Also, I really like the idea of
standardization. Anyway, I would like to know how much support I would
get if I propose such a dev (outsourcing at the worst).

NES 3.6 - connection getting timed out

[Visakh Menon]

Hi

I'm facing a performance issue with NES 3.6. I'm using NES3.6 and Jrun 2.3
and Oracle back end on Windows NT in my project. The problem starts when one
of the servlets make calls to some calculation modules. The calc routines
take too much time to execute (mainly because of some database calls in
between) and the next page never comes out. Netscape says 'Document contains
no data'. There is no error in the code. I thought its due to connection
getting timed out and tried adding persistant connection timout period in
NES (200-300 secs). It worked once and later it stopped working. Any idea
how I can solve this issue ? All help appreciated.

Re: Java Beans NES 4.0 error

[Visakh Menon]

NES 4.0 works with JSP .92 Specs only. It doesn't take jsp:usebean tag
which came with JSP 1.0. So you either try using old USEBEAN or start
using a webserver that supports Jsp 1.0 / 1.1.
iPlanet 4.1 (NES 4.1) supports jsp 1.1. Otherwise try using jrun as servlet
engine.

There were quite a few mails in this list about this problem. Just browse
through the archive. It will surely help you.

My next question is where should the class file be to configures with NES

Should I add it to the Servlets-Configure Servlet Atrributes in NES or

Re: Java Beans NES 4.0 error

[Visakh Menon]

Classpath should be set to your bean.
I guess your bean (SimpleBean) is under a package 'hall'. So set your class
path to the parent directory of the package dir. ie, if your bean is in
d:/beans/hall then set classpath to d:/beans
That should be sufficient.

Vis..


The class file for the bean.

Hi folks

I'm using NES 3.6 webserver and Jrun 2.3.3 servlet engine.
I'm trying to connect to a oracle database in a remote machine
using JDBC (using Oracle thin driver). I can connect if I run the

Re: [Re: DB connection problem with NES/Jrun]- new issue

[Visakh Menon]

Thanks for the response though your answer didn't help me much. It started
working after I put oracle.jar file under classpath in jrun's jsm.properties
file. But now I have another issue. I'm able to run servlets, access
database, read and write from database. but in one particular servlet,
netscape is throwing the infamous 'Document contains no data' error. I
thought It would be some database connection problem. but since my other
servlets are running perfectly (using the same DB connection classes) it
can't be JDBC problem, right ? When all we usually get this 'Document
contains no data' error ? Any help appreciated.

Re: jsp to jsp

[Visakh Menon]

I think you don't need to give the userid with the URL. you can pass it as a
parameter when you call aaa.jsp. its the request to the aaa.jsp that's going
to be forwarded to bbb.jsp.
ie, in aaa.jsp :
jsp:forward page="bbb.jsp"/

and you invoke aaa.jsp as http://servername/jsp/aaa.jsp?userid=100099

As per JSP Specs, you can give parameter values using jsp:param also.

jsp:forward page="bbb.jsp"
jsp:param name="userid" value="adam"/
/jsp:forward

(Refer JSP 1.1 Specs under 2.13.5)

but I couldn't access these params in bbb.jsp. Its always returning null.
Anybody's got any clue ?

Re: %@ include file =filename % problem

[Visakh Menon]

Liza,

Check if you are referring to the bean with the same id in file2. Or problem
could be with your classpath. Check if you've set it properly for the bean.
Also check if you are refering file2 in file1 with proper URL. I can't think
of any other reason. There is no need to put jsp:useBean in file2.

  the source chagned. If you modify the source, it compares the
  source to the
  .class and then recompiles the source, unloads and reloads
  the class for
  you! This isn't just for servlets and beans, its for all
  classes. The guy
  who wrote Resin apparently wrote a new ClassLoader that handles this
  ability. I don't have all the good details, but someone told
  me this and
  their site, I think its www.goucho.com or something.
  Anyways..the fact that
  its open source and free to use (ofcourse..send the man some
  money for his
  hard work..actually its a team of them) makes it even more
  attractive, and
  the speed outdoes just about every servlet engine.
