And there are so many children of the parent LUG that meet all the time all over the state that one can not even count them! In a big city, getting to a meeting is always difficult - and to add to the difficulty, more and more members are getting married and hence have much less time to turn up on a Saturday afternoon or on a Sunday. Mumbai LUG manages around one meet a year - and even then not more than 5 or 6 people turn up. Same is the case in Hyderabad and Bangalore. Pune is an exception in that they have several running courses where member can meet each other. The scene where the people turning up are the old regulars and a few new students, will continue. One thing which will push up the attendance is a good talk - we encourage first timers to give talks at the LUG to get experience in a friendly atmosphere - at the same time if we can work at getting highly experienced people giving really good talks, the attendance will jump. When I am in Chennai, I try to attend - but I attend out of loyalty rather than to hear the talks, although I find I learn something new even when a raw newbie talks. Hyderabad lug, some years back used to take pains to get good speakers, and I have seen audience of upto 40-50 people for such talks. Which means we cannot sit back and wait for volunteers - we must find out who can give good talks and twist their arms and make them come through. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Use dd. For example , say your pen drive is attached to the node /dev/sda2 , do something like this : dd if=/dev/sda2 of=drive_backup then you will have all the data on the drive also on the file image drive_backup, you can then try recovery tools on the image.

Re: [Ilugc] system commands from Gtk
> I have used the system( ) command to execute the system commands through the > Gtk program... Please suggest me whether I can adhere to this or it's better > to use the execv function... I am learning through the Gtk...pls suggest. you really did not mention what you are trying to do in the so called gtk programs. Anyway as a short description, system() : allows you to run a binary from inside a C program, but you don't have any control on the executing program, you just have to wait until the call to system returns there are other interfaces you can use though : popen() : is very similar to system, but it also allows you to either pipe input to the stdin of the binary you are executing, or pipe the stdout of the binary you are executing and access it via a file descriptor in the C program. You can only do one at a time and the program waits for popen() to return. the exec family of functions : allow you to run a binary executable and you can control the process since when you run it a new process is forked and you have control over the child. may be a little more info on what you are trying to do will allow you to decide better.

[Ilugc] USB device not recognized
Hi, I have a 2GB Transcend USB pendrive formatted with FAT32 filesystem. All of a sudden today, the USB device did not mount when I plugged it in. I checked "lsusb" and the usb device was recognized. But when I executed "sudo fdisk -l", the filesystem was not recognized. When I also executed "dmesg|tail", I found that the partitions were not recognized. The output of the three commands can be found at " http://pastebin.com/MHZtTRH6";. I have used testdisk to recover data, but when I executed testdisk, only my internal hard disk was displayed, I could not choose the USB device. Is there a way to recover the data in the pendrive? -- Thanks and Regards, Hrishikesh Murali ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
[Ilugc] Dual boot- WIN does not boot, but Debian does

Today morning, it did not boot WIN when I wanted to do some Office work (presentation with AtuoCad drgs). Evening I returned, booted into Debian without any problem, browsed net, e mailed. Now from Debian side I am able to see WIN Partitions and see the files also. I can view pictures, play movies etc, but WIN will not boot. I face a blue screen with message " UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME" Probebly due to a new Hardware not properly installed, blah, blah... it goes on, I have not installed any new hardware.

As long as you are not running any Internet facing services on your desktop you system integrity should be OK. I always use the default NAT option of the DSL modem/routers and get a "natural" firewall for my network. As for scanners None. To the best of my knowledge the scanners that run on Linux are for (possibly) detecting Windows based Virus. Use "aide" or "tripwire" and save the initial sig files on a read only media like CD/DVD; use cron to schedule aide/tripwire to compare the sigs with the "ro" version and report differences.
