Re: [ilugd] free alternatives to blackberry
Hi Rakesh, Thanks. I already knew that one, but the thing is that the product is not yet commercialised (I need something urgently, my mobile is about to die !), and additionnaly that model has no camera (I always dreamt about being able to take photos with my mobile !), and no keyboard (i mean, there is only a virtual keyboard). Any other suggestions ? Rakesh Pandit wrote: > Hello, > > >> that some companies have made similar phones working with linux. Any >> references, links ?

[ilugd] free alternatives to blackberry
Dear folks, I am about to buy a blackberry for my hutch postpaid connection. I was just wondering if there are free alternatives to blackberry.. i was told that some companies have made similar phones working with linux. Any references, links ? And will it work with Hutch (or even Airtel.. i would'nt hesitate to switch if necessary !) ? Thanks.

Re: [ilugd] proxy prob
Did you try to enable the Gnome Proxy settings in System->Preferences, there you have advance tab to set IGNORE HOST LIST.

Re: [ilugd] proxy prob
Hi, I could not get actually what you want to ask. What then, just research a little, put you problem with as much data as you have that may lead us to exact solution/problem. Explain them in detail and keep those things simple and understandable. See here is the confusion I am getting, You wrote: "I am currently working with cURL and PhP on my pc.If i use these scripts on my pc (localhost) these cURL fuctions require Internet Connection and for this internet connection , browser require proxy (server for my network)." its confusing me. Do you want to say that your browser has proxy setup in the configuration to access the Internet. And maybe you want to ask how to do that for the your PHP scripts to fetch the data from Internet using cURL modules. Right? If this is the problem, then just try these... check your $http_proxy variable.. $ echo $http_proxy and check what address your system has been assigned as proxy. if there is no settings or wrong IP in http_proxy, then fix it. $ export http_proxy=IPADDRESS:PORT eg. http_proxy=10.2.10.114:8080 if you need to pass username and password for the authentication, then you have to do : $ export http_proxy=username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:PORT In case you are working in windows domain environment, you may have to provide the DOMAIN name to fully qualify. $ export http_proxy=DOMAIN\USERNAME:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:PORT now, play with it. Also, thry the GUI and easiest one in gnome menu MainMenu->System->Preferences->Network Proxy and set the IP, PORT and Username/Password (DETAILS) there. THis interface sets your env-var http_proxy. And if then again you fail, please do not just put another mail. Take some time, understand your system and the things like Ntework type and Proxy Server Type, then mail with all these information.
