[ubuntu-in] [X-Post] Freenode is looking for donations
- Forwarded Content -- I will try to keep this brief and to the point. This message has been cross posted to several lists which will explain why you might get more than one copy. I hope you find it informative too. Send all flames to me, not to the lists. I'm taking off the other hats I wear for a moment to ask for you or your company's support of Freenode [1] (technically the Peer-Directed Projects Center or PDPC) now based in the United Kingdom. For those that don't know, Freenode is an IRC [2] network supporting Open Source and Free Software communities globally. Another PDPC activity is the annual FOSSCON conference in the fall. PDPC is specifically [3] raising funds in order to be recognized by the UK as an official charitable organization. This status has many benefits, however they need to raise a certain amount of money by March, 2009. There are just a few days left in the fundraising campaign. Canonical Ltd. (the company created by Mark Shuttleworth that drives Ubuntu Linux) has graciously stepped forward to provide dollar for dollar matching, magnifying the impact of your donations to PDPC. The fund raising goal has almost been reached but your contribution is needed. Brainstorming by the PDPC board of directors for how to use any funds not used for operations includes hosting live conference events in Europe and the US, extending current services and improving the reliability of the freenode network by hosting a few of their own hubs and backup systems. Freenode is growing rapidly [4] supporting up to 57,000 concurrent users up from a maximum of about 40,000 18 months ago. Some people may not be aware that IRC is used by a huge array of Open Source and Free Software projects. The list of groups [5] Freenode works with is truly impressive. I feel it is not at all hyperbole to say that the work done over freenode and OFTC [6] are the real-time backbone of open source collaboration throughout the world, Coders use the IRC network to develop applications used by millions of people every day and provide *end user support*. If you use any open source software you may be an indirect beneficiary of the services Freenode provides. I encourage those who are interested to try launching an IRC client such as Pidgin [7] and see for yourself. You won't be sorry you did. While I have used Freenode for many years, this year I too became a contributor for the first time. For a one time contribution http://freenode.net/pdpc_donations.shtml of as little as $8 you can join me in supporting Freenode and the many Open Source projects they serve.

Hi Aravind, You need a good hardware for setting up the server, Internet connection with large amount of bandwidth (atm its bit costly here in India). This should do. Rest is little work of setting up a script on cron to sync the files from a master server. -- "A well-directed imagination is the source of great deeds" -- With Best Regards, Omshivaprakash.H.L | ಓಂ ಶಿವಪ್ರಕಾಶ್ ಎಚ್. ಎಲ್ | ॐ शिवप्रकाश् एच्. एल् Website : http://www.techfiz.info Blog : http://platonic.techfiz.info Phone: 91- 9902026518 AIM : fizworks ICQ : 265216744 IRC : #techfiz server: irc.freenode.net channel: #linux-india #ubuntu-in #gnu-india #kannada - Original Message - From: "Arvind Gupta" To: "Ubuntu India Local Community" Sent: Saturday, March 28, 2009 9:41:55 PM GMT +05:30 Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi Subject: Re: [ubuntu-in] downloading desktop version Hi Om, Do you know what are resources needed to make a mirror? -arvind 2009/3/28 Omshivaprakash H L < omshivaprak...@gmail.com > Hi Shashi., There is no mirror in India atm.

The entire line is known as a 'shebang' among other names, and is used to tell the system what shell to run it in. The line has to be the first line in a shell script, for it to be correctly recognised and run as a shell script across all systems. Hope this helps in removing one of your doubts in solving your problem. Sadly, I don't have the answer to your complete problem. Ninad S.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Continuing Problems with Huawei ETS2288
Hi Ram >> edited RC Local with the lines' >> sudo -S modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x3401 >> > sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 >> sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 When I was trying the configuration for the first time I did all this from the command line, not from rc.local or anywhere else. So, lets try this: 1. Change your rc.local to the original state. 2. Change your /etc/modprobe.d/ to the original state too. 3. run the above commands without the password file, just enter the password manually, all three in the above sequence. 4. backup your /etc/wvdial.conf and create a clean /etc/wvdial.conf, with the following lines: [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Init1 = ATZ Phone = #777 Username = cdma Password = cdma New PPPD = yes Stupid Mode = 1 This is the exact wvdial.conf I am using. As you can notice, there are no pppd options. And try connecting using sudo wvdial. Sometimes, it will take almost 90 seconds to connect, so go make tea or have a cup or coffee or something, in case it is taking unusually long to connect. It just might after a long time. 5. If this does not work, try installing minicom or something similar and try sending commands to the ETS2288 directly using mincom and see if it responds correctly. I got my ETS1201 working as above first, used that, and found no one could deal with running wvdial from the shellprompt, so I have installed GNOME-PPP and it works well with that for the past month or so. And GNOME-PPP is using the following file (this is the exact copy): [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ISDN = off Modem Type = Analog Modem Baud = 115200 Init = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Init3 = Init4 = Init5 = Init6 = Init7 = Init8 = Init9 = Phone = #777 Phone1 = Phone2 = Phone3 = Phone4 = Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 3 Dial Command = ATM1L3DT Ask Password = off Password = cdma Username = cdma Auto Reconnect = off Abort on Busy = on Carrier Check = on Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on ;Minimize = off ;Dock = on ;Do NOT edit this file by hand! Tell me if this works for you. If all this works, only then create the appropriate /etc/rc.local and /etc/wvdial.conf. I am beginning to read about the ETS2288 in case I can find something about it.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Continuing Problems with Huawei ETS2288
Hi Moz,
Thanks for the suggestions, but still no success. This is what i did.
first checked ls /dev/ttyU*
your right there were no ttyUSBO or USB1
so did
-$sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
-$sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
voila next time it did ls /dev/ttyU*
i got
/dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1
edited RC Local with the lines'
sudo -S modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x3401 cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0 . No such device
restarted and found that the ttyUSB0 had disappeared so did mknod
again and tried
tried wvdial 93
same error
edited the line containing crtscts and # it out completely
same error.
So back to square one
Very frustrating.
I tried the same thing on Opensuse 11.1 and get the same errors.
