Re: [Ilugc] Reg: video downloader
Not sure what you mean by copy-protected, but the Video DownloadHelper extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 for Firefox will help you download videos from a number of sites. Download Helper has an option to copy the URL, which you can then feed to a download accelerator like DownThemAll (another firefox addon). This is helpful if you are downloading large files.

[Ilugc] Fwd: [ubuntu-in] OT: Taking tux (and Ubuntu) for a run
Forwarding a request on Ubuntu India mailing list to ILUGC. In CC : Original Poster. Dont know whether he is subscribed to ILUGC as well. -- Forwarded message -- From: sivakumar bharadhwaj jeyendras...@gmail.com Date: Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 10:13 AM Subject: Re: [ubuntu-in] OT: Taking tux (and Ubuntu) for a run To: Ubuntu India Local Community ubuntu...@lists.ubuntu.com Dear Sirs, i am using Ubuntu for just 3 - 4 months only, earlier for past 10 years windows only. though i have heard about linux in the last 3 to 4 years - havent seen anyone using linux. I was working for a company (in the power division) where they sell IBM, SUN, HP, and Lenovo. But even at office (where at bangalore around 200 people used to work), havent seen anyone using linux. every system will be preinstalled with XP. I have seen our support engineers using Solaris 10 (Sun support). Why I am telliing all these, I dont think we can blame anyone - for not seeing Linux. Though I am fully satisfied with Ubuntu, I could not install them at my office, where my HO people are shouting - since they cannot support for Ubuntu. I have installed 9.04 9.10 in my own laptop. I know there is a LUG in chennai, and if organisation like that gives us more about customising others for Ubuntu, we shall help more people, outside this Linux group. I know you all are very very good in linux. whereas we do not know more than just customising. I do not blame you all at all Instead, on saturdays sundays, IF POSSIBLE, can anyone give us basic knowledge of customising certain aspects of Ubuntu, in chennai. I can / others too can organise for such ones. Just meet for max. 2 to 3 hours ( No parties etc - just Gyan). we will meet informally. I feel that people who are outside the regular Linux group (like you all) can only lure the people who are using Windows. If you all tell that 9.10 is better than windows XP or 7, they will say you are all experienced and can do all that is required. In short : give us A LITTLE MORE of what you all know. We will evangelise for you. I know that LINUX DO NOT NEED EVANGELISTS, !!. May be I have barged in without qualification - in this chat. s.sivakumar chennai 80561 37729 (Airtel - chennai) -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] [LANGUAGETIP - C ] editline sample for bash like history
Please take a look at this program.
http://gayatri-hitech.com/languageclasses/editline-sample.c.html
I have also pasted the code here:
/*
cc -g test.c -o test -ledit -ltermcap
*/
#include stdio.h
#include histedit.h
/* To print out the prompt you need to use a function. This could be
made to do something special, but I opt to just have a static prompt.
*/
char * prompt(EditLine *e) {
return test ;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
/* This holds all the state for our line editor */
EditLine *el;
/* This holds the info for our history */
History *myhistory;
/* Temp variables */
int count;
const char *line;
int keepreading = 1;
HistEvent ev;
/* Initialize the EditLine state to use our prompt function and
emacs style editing. */
el = el_init(argv[0], stdin, stdout, stderr);
el_set(el, EL_PROMPT, prompt);
el_set(el, EL_EDITOR, emacs);
/* Initialize the history */
myhistory = history_init();
if (myhistory == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, history could not be initialized\n);
return 1;
}
/* Set the size of the history */
history(myhistory, ev, H_SETSIZE, 800);
/* This sets up the call back functions for history functionality */
el_set(el, EL_HIST, history, myhistory);
while (keepreading) {
/* count is the number of characters read.
line is a const char* of our command line with the tailing
\n */
line = el_gets(el, count);
/* In order to use our history we have to explicitly add
commands
to the history */
if (count 0) {
history(myhistory, ev, H_ENTER, line);
printf(You typed \%s\\n, line);
}
}
/* Clean up our memory */
history_end(myhistory);
el_end(el);
return 0;
}
Please compile this program and see what it does. Actually bash uses
readline and editline is a
BSD licensed BSD alternative to the bulky readline library.
The other day I googled and got this code. I ran it and was very happy
with the results.
So this is what you need to do to integrate history features into your
application.
I think the code is mostly self explanatory. ;)
That guy has commented the code very well.
By the way please look at this page:
http://gayatri-hitech.com/languageclasses/
It is evolving and not ready yet. But I shall put up all the code samples here.
Not the LUG mails. You only need the code right? ;)
I shall send better language tips from next week onwards.
Best,
Girish

I'm a bit confused, all the replies you received had solutions for downloading
videos. All of them work on Linux.
All of them (except for cclive ?) can recognize embedded video when you click
the play button, as you mentioned.
If you want a button next to your video (instead of the drag and drop or the
right click menu convenience of UnPlug) you can use DownloadManager and check
the appropriate option in the preferences ('General-Appearance') dialog.

The adsl modems have ethernet port. You cannot terminate two DSL modems together, you need a DSLAM on the other end of your DSL line. Instead DSL providers offer IP VPN -- which is a type of DSL connection without internet access, but for connecting several branch offices at low cost. This typically costs no more than a regular DSL connection. Think of it as poor man's MPLS cloud. Airtel offers IP VPN. Or ask your telco operator for a leased line, and get them to loop it at the exchange. This works only if both your end points are at the same telephone exchange. What you end up getting is essentially a private copper connection. You can then use any leased line modem and get up to 16Mb/s speeds. BSN offers this setup, but don't tell them you are using 16Mb/s modems! There are 3rd party providers in Chennai (assuming you're in Chennai) who can provide you point-to-point multi-mode fiber connectivity. You can terminate both ends on to a suitable GBIC module and port on a Ethernet switch. Since this is private fiber, you can run up to 10Gb/s on this link. I've never used these myself, so no first hand experience to talk about. Note that you cannot run your own cables through public property without a telco or ISP license. Therefore any suggestions on running your own Ethernet/serial/etc cable, is legal only if it's within your own private property or campus. - Raja ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] [OT] Broadband QoSE Seminar
**Sorry for sending this message at last moment** The TeNeT Group of IIT-Madras and LIRNEasia, a telecom policy NGO in SriLanka have developed the AT Methodology for measuring broadband quality of service experience(QoSE). This provides a subscriber oriented measure of the service quality, as opposed to the raw bandwidth advertised by the operators. This has been used to evaluate broadband services in South Asia over the past 2 years. Based on this methodology, recently tests have been conducted by chosen subscribers in various major cities across India and in some of the States. The results of these tests will be presented in a Seminar to be held in GRT Grand, T Nager, Chennai on Tue Nov 3rd, 2009, 4-7PM.

A widely-used rule-of-thumb indicates that cables more than 50 feet (15 metres) long will have too much capacitance, unless special cables are used. By using low-capacitance cables, full speed communication can be maintained over larger distances up to about 1,000 feet.[7] For longer distances, other signal standards are better suited to maintain high speed. Good point. Another option would be to get 512/1024 Kbps (symmetric) DSL connection and setup site2site VPN. Multimode fiber connection within the campus or or Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) to connect offices within a metro area are other possibilities. -- Arun Khan ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

During the boot time, memtest will be listed in the grub menu along with other installed kernel image(s). For normal booting, we used to select the one of the kernel image. To run the memtest, we need to select the memtest option. And we can't run memtest like a command or application from the shell.
