You never respect people who correct others ? No one is paying him to
take pains in correcting people and getting them become a better
communicator. Format *does* matter (How often have your teachers at
school/university told you to present properly, corrected you? You

lsmod alone may not give the complete info. Because many modules may
be compiled into the kernel. So you check the kernel's .config file
also.

Posting poorly formatted email waste huge amounts of time.

It costs the sender at most 1 minute to format his/her post correctly.
This mailing list has more than 1000 subscribers, and if it takes 1

I generally do not get involved in this kind of discussion but I think 
some of the newer members are simply not bothering to read the posting 
(formatting in this case) guidelines and  follow them.

[1] The point of interleaved posting: the reader should be able to 
understand the context of what was said and the response to it without 
having to sieve through the entire thread and figure it out.  Imagine 
every member expending that kind of time!

 Sometimes the content matters than the format, No one does this

Content and format *both* matter.  Agreed, it may not be deliberate but 
the author must talk the language that his/her audience understands 
otherwise many put him/her in the kill/trash filter see [1].

 Even still if you cant stop. Please send a similar mail as a weekly

The tragedy is that members keep repeating the same mistake or choose to

[Ilugc] Conky eating into my bandwidth

2010-01-20 Thread Bhargav Prasanna
Hi,

Conky has been transferring 1 to 1.5 kbps (up and down) over my internet (my
router's internet LED blinks) connection though it isn't supposed to do so.
This is shown in its own upspeed and downspeed graphs and in GNOME system
monitor.

When i kill conky, this doesn't happen. System Monitor validates this too.
Since I have a 1.5 GB monthly limit and since I leave my connection on for
long periods of time, this is not really good for me.

My .conkyrc file: http://pastebin.com/m63194053

Why is this happening?
Is there a workaround/patch?

Not sure about the exact cause but you can try replacing rhost with
rip. Probably conky is doing host name check up for remote hosts. It
might be causing the bandwidth usage. Though it shouldn't be really
doing it if there are no remote connections.

You could also run tcpdump/wireshark to capture packets and find out
what is causing the network usage.

[Ilugc] access password protected sites using perl

2010-01-20 Thread Ashish Verma
Hi,

How can we access a password protected site using perl. Not the ones' that
use a realm (wherein there is a popup window for username and password) type
of authentication. By password protected I mean sites like gmail, yahoo etc,
wherein the password needs to be supplied to the ID of field. I have tried
using the LWP module POST method, however, GMAIL does not accept post
method.

Regards,
Ashish


PS: Actually now I am unable to even access pages that use a realm for
authentication, I was going through a very informative page in CPAN
documentation, however am unable to find it. Further, I am not even able to
rewrite the code to access those type of pages.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET);
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Simple;
use Net::SSLeay;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent-new;
$ua-agent('Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET
CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; InfoPath.2; MS-RTC LM 8)');

$ua-proxy(http = 'http://myproxy.net');
$ua-cookie_jar(  HTTP::Cookies-new( file = 'mycookies.txt', autosave = 1
)  );
# $ua-credentials('172.25.203.131/isos/', 'This_is_a_realm',
'ashish', 'password')  # What does this (credentials) do. Isn't
mentioning this supposed to make the scenario 2 below work?

1. my $req = GET 'http://172.25.203.131/isos/';  # This
works
2. my $req = GET 'http://172.25.203.131/isos/';  # This
doesn't works if isos is password protected.
3. my $req = POST 'http://172.25.203.131/isos/'  [username = 'ashish',
password = 'password'] ; # This doesn't works  The
informative page I have mentioned above had an explanation as to how to
make the above POST request to work with some reasons. I can't find that
now.

my $res = $ua-request($req, 'test.html');

exit 0;

2010-01-20 Thread Bharathi Subramanian
 Fwd Mail 
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:32:55 +1300
From: Gavin Treadgold

This is a brief request from the Sahana Software Foundation to fellow
GSOC mentors and their projects. We have already approached some
communities with requests for assistance, and I thought I'd ask here.

We are looking for additional developers to help us with Sahana and
continue to build an information portal that is seeing increased
interest and usage to assist organisations responding to events in
Haiti.

Sahana Haiti Reponse Overview page + areas we're working on
http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php/haiti:start

Skills we are primarily looking for:
 (you don't need them all, any will do)

* Python - the main development for SahanaPy is Python 
  (we're not using PHP for this instance)
* web2py - we use the web2py enterprise framework for SahanaPy 
  (I'm told it is fairly easy to learn if you're used to Django)
* OpenLayers
* jQuery

Best place is to jump onto #sahana on freenode if you're interested in
giving us a hand or finding out more. As much or as little as you
want. Some of our core devs have been working really long hours the
past 5-6 days, and any additional resource would assist us greatly,
particularly as we're really starting to get some interest, traction
and coverage. And more feature requests.

If you read this far, thanks for taking the brief time required to
read this - hope some of you are able to join us on #sahana and help
out in whatever way possible ;)

[Ilugc] LJ Tech Tip

2010-01-20 Thread Bharathi Subramanian
LJ Tech Tip: Dereference Variable Names Inside Bash Functions 

If we pass variable names as parameters to functions, they will be
treated as string literals and cannot be dereferenced (ie the value is
not available).  But this is not so, variable names can be passed as
parameters to functions and they can be dereferenced to obtain the
value of the variable with the given name.

The following script demonstrates this:

DerefernceVariablePassedToFunction() {
  if [ -n $1 ] ; then
 echo value of [${1}] is: [${!1}]
  else
 echo Null parameter passed to this function
  fi
}

Variable=LinuxJournal
DerefernceVariablePassedToFunction Variable

The secret here is the ! used in the variable expansion ${!1}.  
If the first character of parameter is an exclamation point, a level
of variable indirection is introduced. Bash uses the value of the
variable formed from the rest of parameter as the name of the
variable; this variable is then expanded and that value is used in the
rest of the substitution, rather than the value of parameter itself.
This is known as indirect expansion
