I use awesome as my window manager and not gnome. Thus I use setxkbmap/xmodmap. Getting the rupee symbol in writer and other such apps was a pain but I never bothered till I saw this. I have used xmodmap to set up my modifier keys as per my liking in awesome. On my keyboard, F11 (keycode 95) and F12(keycode 96) were not use for any purpose. I set up F12 to give me the rupee symbol by mapping it appropriately. You can test it in a terminal as under: $ xmodmap -e "keycode 96 = U20B9 U20B9 " After this, through the session, F12 will give you the rupee symbol. To make it permanent, you will need to make this entry in the ./Xmodmap file. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines

That's the beauty of F/OSS (at least in my sense). Publicly exposed vulnerabilities and publicly fixed so no need to fear. I love FOSS and understand all that is being said. I think it is better in security than closed source. However, the stats shown in the article are interesting and the opinion of security researchers seem to suggest that there is no difference between closed source and open source in terms of vulnerabilities. This is not something that is expected. While fixes may come fast, the more eyeballs proposition says that vulnerabilities will be caught earlier and sooner as source is available for all to see. Soon/early enough to avoid large scale impact. Heartbleed and Shellshock have had a large impact across the board for a lot of sites. I cannot deny that these two alone have cast a shadow over these security assumptions in open source.

I'm of the opinion that FOSS is certainly better. Your statement about MS does not give me added comfort with FOSS. I'm bothered about the vulnerabilities and impact in the absolute sense in FOSS. I've used FOSS for a long time and have managed a webfarm for 4 years in the 90s. I've always marvelled at the fact that Linux machines were simply rock solid, not hacked and a low overhead management platform while MS machines were insecure and a nightmare. I've never before encountered a serious vulnerability in Linux as Heartbleed/ shellshock that shook the foundation of the platform stack used for web applications itself. I referred to ESR's thoughts/works like CatB as I believe in them strongly (so much that I travelled to meet him for a chat at his residence in Wayne PA in the 90s). Those premises failed in these cases badly. Both SSL and Bash have been around for a long time, used by many and were considered robust components. It was after a long while that the enterprise segment believed in FOSS and adopted such robust pieces. That confidence has been pummelled by these incidents. The painstaking gains made by FOSS in enterprise adoption would get eroded, whether we like it or not. The sniggers will be back. I posted this originally as I was concerned when I saw the statistics quoted. This is what the commercial enterprise software vendors will grab and use against FOSS. Luckily, most of them used SSL/TLS and so cannot blow their own trumpets. We will need to wait and watch how the scenario unfolds and affects FOSS. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines

Can it be configured in such a way that the traffic gets distributed between the network interfaces if one of them is busy ? Thought I don't have a solution right away, I vaguely remember the LARTC explaining something very similar - Here is the link[1]. It might just be useful. Link bonding can be done either in standby or load balancing mode. Static ECMP routing with packet equalise will achieve this too if the links are in different subnets (example command line was given before). Given that all your cards are in the same subnet, link bonding is the ideal solution. I will not recommend LARTC unless you are understand QOS/queuing and traffic control well along with what qdiscs to use (need to understand the behaviour and appropriateness to your scenario). I think that is an overkill. Simple packet based round robin balancing will achieve what you want in the bonding scenario. There is no concept of interface being busy but just queue length. If an interface is busy, packets get dropped if the queue is full. TCP/IP's internal mechanism will slow the source rate down automatically. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines

Re: [Ilugc] Awesome WM[ was Linux Mint Cinnamon]
In the same vein... I tried out Awesome WM 18 months ago and am hooked on to it. This WM is standard in Arch, fluxbox etc. It started as a tiling manager and now has some nice workspace features. Those who use window decorations and title menu per app will find this a little odd as by default there is no decoration. I installed it on Ubuntu. This is a highly configurable WM with the complete menu system and keyboard/ mouse shortcuts programmed in Lua. One has to launch services and applets explicitly. Strict systray implementations only work from Ubuntu. So some things like calender widget, BT etc do not work. Not for the fainthearted but does not need a nerd to use it either. I use it with minimal services and the desktop comes up in under 5 seconds from the login manager. Standard unity takes well over 45 seconds.

[Ilugc] Airtel 4G dongle
I got one yesterday - Huawei 3276. I think it has got activated as the green light on the dongle keeps blinking. Ubuntu NM showed new GSM broadband connection which I clicked and set up the whole connection. After that the connection showed up in the list but did not connect. File manager showed the volume installed as airtel. Went in, looked up Linux directory, copied it to tmp and ran the install script. Installation went through without asking for overwrite - presume thus the software was not installed earlier. Reboot still did not get the connection up. Volume shows up in file manager.

This will allow you to create partitions and designate mount points. You must be aware of how to partition disk, specify filesystem types and mount points. Generally, it is good to have a partition for the OS mounted on /, one for your user files mounted on /home and Linux swap. You will need to try this out.

Am I shelling our unnecessary cash by getting the costlier one ? Branded cables are a lot more expensive than self crimped ones in India. Quality is definitely better. The branded ones come in specific lengths and the cable is factory crimped /moulded and thus will have a longer life and lower resistance at the connector pins. This is also a high margin item for the manufacturer as the price is low comapred to other equipment they make. I've founded crimping RJ45s to cable cut to desired lengths work just as well here. Costs a whole lot less as labour is not expensive in India (as compared to the US).

That is, we should help them learn and use GNU/Linux. But we should never spoon-feed them. For eg, if someone runs into an issue in configuring a web server, we shouldn't simply say do steps x, y, z and you will be done. Asking them to show evidence of what they have already done is not being unfriendly. It just makes sure that they are not using the list as a free support service. +1. Most newbies ask questions without doing some ground work. We need to be polite and not brush them off with brusque replies. Most members are but some tend to come down hard. Teaching newbies to think and research for themselves is key to building a sustaining volunteered support model. Maybe we should ask newbies to tag their mails with [noob]. Will help those not wanting to handle such traffic filter them. One other way is to organise discussions under some categories/tags like discussion boards which newbies can scan as they may not use the right search words in archive search. Needs volunteer effort. When people violate list guidelines, we do tell them that it is incorrect, and suggest the right way to do it. That again is not being unfriendly, it is just part of the learning. May be the tone used in such responses look stern. We can try to do something about that. We can be polite at the first instance. Repeated mistakes need jolts to move out of that rut. I've seen specific members' mails having top posts repeatedly. I think we must have a short term suspension/ ban ( a month?) for repeat offenders. This happens in every community and we need be no exception. Hopefully some such mechanism would work well and not alienate members permanently. Also, we need to reduce the amount of unnecessary noise on the list. At least on the list, we should stop showing hatred and inflated egos. If people don't like mails from someone, let them just filter those mails out. If people do like mails about someone, they can simply delete that email and go ahead. When the experienced people are raising many issues and they want the list to be fully moderated, There won't be any discussion happening here. I am not for moderation. We have been a self-governing list, and occasionally, we do run into issues. But I guess we have enough mature people to come out of it. Thanks +1 no moderation. Lets be tolerant and use our own individual methods to handle stuff that we do not want to read. I also saw some one say less than 20 members are active on the list. Speaking for myself, when I see the noise, rants, unasked for lessons etc., I tend to ignore them. The list has had a very large proportion of such mails over the last quarter - large enough to draw ire and irritated responses from otherwise polite, benign members. There was a much wider participation before this sparring on the forum started. I see this list as one where anyone with some queries and problems using FOSS can seek help and can get reasonable, erudite replies. I think this list does certainly fulfill that purpose admirably. Turning this into a tutoring mechanism or a programming oriented content certainly skews the participation. Do people participate here to beat their chests? I do not think so and that is probably why such content draws sharp responses. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines

Was not clear earlier that you were asking for server side. Going by the features on the front end, it seems like the segments start from an different offset of the original file. We can use any number of segments/threads and the segments get equally split. This is what leads me to deduce this. This is also possible if the file is broken into many segments to give us a semblance of this behaviour. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

I think Tally would have been developed using the dotnet framework. I've had problems running such apps whether with Mono or the native dotnet framework installed under wine. You will have better results running Tally under Windows in a VM like Virtualbox. Takes away the claim that one can be Windows free though. Multiuser Tally has a web interface, I recall.

Re: [Ilugc] Raspberrypi and TrustZone
This will only be seen in the Broadcom processor specification sheet which is available to developers and partner of Broadcom on a NDA. This is the reason why R-Pi cannot publish the spec sheet on their site. Does anyone here have access to the specification sheet? Their brief spec on the website does not carry more than 5 lines of info. You would get to see TrustZone on microcontrollers as a need more than on SoCs. BCM 2835 is a SoC for multimedia applications and thus has little reason to have a TrustZone implementation. -- Mohan Sundaram On Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 11:47 AM, prasannatsmkumar prasannatsmku...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Can anyone know / confirm that raspberrypi has TrustZone support?

You do not need to make it as a bridge between the 2 servers. But you can use it to keep track of your ips. You can overcome the problem of being behind the router by setting up port forwarding in the routers. I will recommend you build tunnels (recomend OpenVPN) from each of your machines to the third machine with IPs in the same subnet with forwarding enabled on the 3rd machine. The tunnel end points will have statically assigned private addresses thus resolving your issue. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] Serious Problems With USB Controller in Raspberry Pi
On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 1:34 PM, Siji Sunny sijisu...@gmail.com wrote: It seems like the usb controller used* *in Rspberry pi SOC (Broadcom BCM2835) has some serious issues , since it can only supply low amount of current to its USB devices (Approximately 140 mA). This will cause continues restart of RPI specially while connecting USB Network Card, USB Modem or GPS devices. From what I've read, it is an issue of the USB on the chip w.r.t to power draw. Powering on by USB gives 500mA while the Model B needs 700mA at peak. So a 1A power source is recommended instead of the PC powered mode. Higher power draw by the USB causes the thresholds to falls for the internals and thus the reboot. To avoid this, polyfuses have been used on the board to restrict the power draw to 140mA. I had flagged the same problem as USB wireless did not seem to work well (speed lags) and traced it to the possibility of low power draw. I tried a powered USB hub and the RPi gave problems in identifying the device. My streaming media problem got solved by dedicating a router (54Mbps) for my link between the RPi and the server. The buffering disappeared. I believe the ModelA has been released and draws 300mA peak. This may give more power to the USB than before. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] Bandwidth Management opinion required

Which one is better among these 2. It should be possible to configure this with already existing setup (slightly large setup of 500+ users). 3. Open for other solutions also. Wondershaper is another tool. QoS is a subject that requires some understanding and reading up on how qdiscs perform and what their configurations are meant to do under different scenarios. While allocating bandwidth under a constrained scenario with all nodes firing is reasonably simple to understand, it is allocation of spare bandwidth beyond the minimum based on priority and maximum caps that you would need to pay attention. HTB as a qdisc performs well and seems to be fairly stable now. If you are looking at equitable distribution of bandwidth for your users without much diffferentiation, round robin queuing qdiscs will be useful. Most user friendly tools offer an dumbed down version of configuration of these qdiscs with a single level hierarchy scheme though they are far more powerful and allow for complex configurations. My advice would be to draw a hierarchy of desired usage of the bandwidth with priorities when there is contention for bandwidth and there is spare to be distributed. This could lead to appropriate subnet designs making it easy for you to design rules. Additions to the network can be made in the appropriate subnet and the QoS rules would not need to be changed. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
