[Ilugc] Load Balancing two ISPs.
Dear Friends, In our Office we are having 8 Desktop Client Machines and 10 Laptops with Fedora 14, Ubuntu 10.04, Mandriva 2010.1 etc., We are getting Internet Connection from two ISPs. BSNL (ADSL Dynamic IP) and Sify (Private IP and not public). Both are 1 MBps. BSNL is Configured to a wireless Router and Sify is configured in a wired switch. BSNL connection is often going down. So the laptop users cannot get internet through wireless. So, we need an alternate solution by configuring a desktop machine, to get both the ISP lines from two LAN cards. and an output from the third LAN card should give the trouble free Internet through Wireless. If any one line is down then the other one should take up automatically, even if any link is very slow then the other one should take up automatically. Please guide me how to configure these setup. and if there is any software please mention it. It should be truly open source. -- With Regards, RK, +91 9976294191 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] FOSS Lab Setup in Dr. N.G.P. Institute of Technology, Coimbatore district
Hi, I've read a lot of mails about the labs being set up at various colleges and, I've wanted to know about what happens next ? The engg. colleges in the coimbatore and surrounding regions (Erode, Salem, Namakkal, Karur, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri districts) have started using open source software in most of the computer labs for doing their practicals and also decided to teach linux/foss from the first year onwards. (a engg. college has requested to setup a lab with Linux/QCAD for mechanical engg. dept.) Does there exist a system by which the colleges keep track of how the labs are being used or, report issues with the setup ? As the engg. colleges have the subject 'open source software' in the sixth semester ( http://www.annauniv.ac.in/syllab_curriculam_pdf/2008/cse_5_8sem.pdf) which covers LAMPPP, they are in need of foss labs and we have setup the lab with every proprietary equivalent foss tools and the colleges are experimenting with all the tools and also have decided to use foss tools in other labs also. We have got excellent feedback from almost all the engg. colleges, where we have setup foss labs and also we all can ensure that, in the coming years GNU/Linux will be the primary operating system of choice in engg. colleges here. We had detailed discussions with many of the engg. college management authorities, and they have decided to use foss to make better use of IT infrastructure wherever possible/applicable. Regards S.

With OpenBSD you can do this with trunk(4) interfaces. You can also use equal cost multipath routing. Or you can use BGP if there are BGP speakers. The final way is by using pf(4) to do route-to() between the two outgoing interfaces. In other words there are 4 ways to achieve this.

The final way is by using pf(4) to do route-to() between the two outgoing interfaces. In other words there are 4 ways to achieve this. As Girish and Rajgopal suggested, FreeBSD is the ideal solution for you. I suggest you use pfsense http://www.pfsense.org/ which will give you a easy to use web interface to configure all this. Ideally, use a dedicated box with CF card running pfsense. You could get a Soekris Embedded box ( http://www.soekris.com/index.htm) and install pfsense/freebsd on it. Very solid solution. We have been using this type of solution for years without almost no issues. Thanks Gourav ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] EduFair
Hi, This mail is to inform all members of ILUGC about Bhavan's (my school) Young Indian's Educational Fair. One of the leading complaints of people whom I have switched toFOSS is that there is virtually no local PC guy who knows FOSSsoftware. So, if they call them up for some help, they justreinstall *Windows*. So, I realized the need for Local PC guys whoknow FOSS. I saw the opportunity for that in the EduFair. EduFair is a Educational Fair (you guessed it right) for school drop-outs from slums of near-by areas for our school. It gives thema chance to work and make a living. NGOs would be offering themvarious options in the field of vocational training. Around 500+school drop-outs would be attending the EduFair. I thought ILUGC would be a great NGO in teaching them various simple FOSS skills like installing and configuring Ubuntu, etc.,Zoho (the SAAS Office Provider) is also coming. I hope the kindhearted persons in ILUGC would be able to teach them the basicskills that The Local PC Guy requires. The main problem as far asI can see now, is getting The Local PC Guys to accept that thereare better software that is free. We don't have to make the schooldrop-outs unlearn the conventional *Windows* tricks. It would begood deed to us all, because we can start consuming the resources offered by the new FOSS-trained Local PC Guys. By the way, it'snot going to be free, and we can expect Yi Net to give some moneyfor the training purposes. The event is to be held on the comingSunday. Bhavan's is willing to let us have a stall, so that theinterested guys can come and have a look. P.S: Most of school drop-outs are not totally unaware of computers. They do know most basic stuff. The event is being organized this Sunday (5th December) With Regards, --Kumaran R ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Anyways making them the 'local pc guys' is better than making someone who knows everything to mess with windows :) My suggestions would be to go slow while teaching them and show them simple tasks like installing,patitioning ,painting,picture editing , office applications etc which would first make them comfortable with the desktop . Obviously the software manager works by default in ubuntu hence a bit of practise I guess is all they need to know . But as with any GNU/Linux machine some times they get stuck in issues like network configuration ,mobile broadband , printer , sound ,graphic and other driver issues. This is where we teach them free software communication and make them approach ilugc or even better teach them googling or asking in ubuntu forums , IRC etc ( I know its overkill but it helps ) .

Re: [Ilugc] resolution in extra monitor sometimes goes down

External devices may not get fully restored to previous state when you resume from hibernation. Simply unplugging your monitor, waiting a few seconds and replugging it should resolve the issue. I have a different problem in Fedora with 2 monitors. I have a 1920 X 1080 large monitor connected to my laptop's secondary port. When the laptop goes to sleep and wakes, the primary and secondary monitors swap, and the task bar which was at the bottom of the large monitor simply disappears in the smaller laptop monitor when it swaps. This is because GNOME still thinks that the task bar is in the large monitor. Stopped using a second monitor with Linux because of this. Any solutions?
