[fsug-tvm] Debian Jessie slowing down
Dear friends, I find that Debian Jessie that I use on my laptop, slows down significantly if I don't reboot for a couple of days and just hibernate or suspend (or even just leave it running). Any idea why that happens and what could be a solution? I use Jessie with Mate desktop, as it is closest to the GNOME-2 that I used to run. I have heard people boast that they just leave the system running for days on end. I guess I must be doing something wrong. Thanks for any help. Sasi -- V.

[fsug-tvm] Virtualisation
Dear friends, I am thinking of installing VirtualBox on my laptop. I see good reviews about it, and confirmation from some Oracle employees that work is continuing seriously on it. Anyone here with experience in installing it? I need to install other operating systems also over it. My laptop's hard disk has some space that I can use (something like a 100 GB or so) but just 4GB RAM. Was wondering if that is sufficient. Also may need some guidance eventually. Best, Sasi -- V.

Dear friends, In this thread, the entire history of the conversation is being repeatedly sent and received by everyone, and also stored in the server so many times over and over. It would help readers and the archives if we edited out the unnecessary portions of the previous mails and retained only that part that is necessary for readers to understand what is being referred to. And, it would also help if members added their contribution to the end of the mail, so that anyone reading it will get a clear idea of what is happening, rather than having to read backwards the entire conversation.

[fsug-tvm] Good news from down under
It seems the New Zealand governments would like to promote innovation and not restriction. See this news: New Zealand has finally passed a new Patents Billhttp://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/pb/legislation/bills/00DBHOH_BILL8651_1/patents-billthat will effectively outlaw software patents after five years of debate, delay, and intense lobbying from multinational software vendors. Aptly named Commerce Minister Craig Foss welcomed the modernisation of the patents law, saying it marked a significant step towards driving innovation in New Zealand. By clarifying the definition of what can be patented, we are giving New Zealand businesses more flexibility to adapt and improve existing inventions, while continuing to protect genuine innovations, Foss said.

[fsug-tvm] Configuring Netgear wifi router
Dear friends, I am trying to configure a Netgear wifi router sith my Asianet cable modem. Whatever I have tried, I get an Authentication failure message when I try to connect to the wifi. My configuration has been like this: Security Options: WEP Authentication type: Automatic Encryption strength: 64 bit Passphrase: Mypassword After entering all this, I click Generate and then Apply. But then if I try to connect my phone, it says, Authentication Error. My laptop also does not connect when I give the password. Tried all possible authentication types, namely, Automatic, Open System and Shared Key. None of them seems to work. Am I doing something wrong? Or could this mean that the router is spoilt? Requesting help from anyone who has some idea about this problem. Thanks for any help. Regards, Sasi -- V.

But channel settings don't seem to have an auto option. Only from 01 to 13. It was originally 11. I tried changing it to 10 too. This was a router that I had been using earlier. Since my stroke in September 2011, am trying to use it again now. Had been lying idle at home. If these did't work try to upgrade the firm ware. Guess will have to try that. Are you having trouble connecting to internet ...? I have no trouble connecting to the Internet if I bypass the router. But when I connect through the router, even cable connection doesn't seem to work! So am wondering whether the router itself has become spoilt. Thank you very much, Anush.

The home directory does not get mounted automatically when booting and has to be manually mounted each time. The fstab line reads: /dev/sdb5 /home rw,user,auto1 2. Now I find that it is not detecting my usb printer that I need now. It looks like I better install another distro. I had been using Mint debian for a long time. But the iso images I downloaded of the latest Mint doesn't seem to work properly. Could you give suggestions for a good distro, preferably based on debian? Regards, Sasi -- V.

[fsug-tvm] Problem with evolution mail client
Dear friends, I had been using Mint Debian for a long time now and had no problem. Recently it develoed some trouble and I had to reinstall my OS. I chose Debian Wheezy as the base with applications from unstable. This is a configuration that I had tried earlier successfully. Now I find that Evolution mail client that I had been using for a number of years is behaving starangely. Every time I log into my computer and start evolution, it asks me to set up my emails. When I tried starting evolution from a terminal, I get the following error statement: sasi@localhost:~$ evolution [1] 3974 sasi@localhost:~$ Migrating cached data Migrating config data Migrating local user data mv /home/sasi/.evolution/mail/vfolder/folders.db /home/sasi/.local/share/evolution/mail/vfolder/folders.db FAILED: Destination file already exists mv /home/sasi/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db /home/sasi/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/folders.db FAILED: Destination file already exists rmdir /home/sasi/.evolution/mail/vfolder FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows) folders.db rmdir /home/sasi/.evolution/mail/local FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows) folders.db rmdir /home/sasi/.evolution/calendar-new FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows) config rmdir /home/sasi/.evolution/tasks-new FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows) config tasks local rmdir /home/sasi/.evolution/mail FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows) vfolder local rmdir /home/sasi/.evolution/tasks FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows) tasks mv /home/sasi/.evolution/categories.xml /home/sasi/.local/share/evolution/categories.xml FAILED: Destination file already exists Has anyone faced a similar problem?

[fsug-tvm] Tell W3C: We don't want the Hollyweb
Hollywood is at it again. Its latest ploy to take over the Web? Use its influence at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to weave Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) into HTML5 Giants like Netflix, Google, Microsoft, and the BBC are all rallying behind this disastrous proposal, which flies in the face of the W3C's mission to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential. We're not going to let this slip through under the radar. More than 11,600 people have already signed this petition to stop DRM in HTML5. Join them and help us build momentum to reach 50,000 signers by May 3rd, 2013, the International Day Against DRM.

[fsug-tvm] Mozilla Firefox tab groups
Dear friends, I am using Linux Mint recently reinstalled from linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-nocodecs-32bit.iso. I have been using the same OS for quite some time on an older machine. Since I do a lot of browsing for different purposes, I really enjoy the tab grouping facility in firefox. But, now I seem to be unable to do that in my browser. I don't see the grouping icon or any menu for that. The firefox I have is Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint -1.0. I am sure there must be others also using Mint in this community. Was wondering whether anyone else has faced the same problem and whether there is some way to get back the tab grouping feature. Thanks for any advice. Best, Sasi -- V.

[fsug-tvm] Rethinking on copyright?
The Republican Party, by mistake, seems to have made some sensible comments, though still not in public, about the so-called Intellectual Property rights. For instance, it points out that the three myths are, in order, that “the purpose of copyright is to compensate the creator of content,” that “copyright is free market capitalism at work,” and that “the current copyright legal regime leads to the greatest innovation and productivity.” Hope this will eventually lead to some changes there, and, consequently, in the rest of the world.

One more reason why only Free Software should be used, especially for public purposes.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Wikipedia app for Android
Very good. Many such projects have been launched or fully executed by engineering students. Another one that comes to mind is Prabhu Ramachandran's Mayavi. I am sure there must be more. Why are our (Kerala's) students behind in this? Perhaps our developers should spend some more time identifying projects for students and guiding them. I was once told by engineering college teachers that both students and teachers lack good Free Software project ideas. Perhaps we could start a wiki with such project ideas? What do you all think?

Re: [fsug-tvm] Wikipedia app for Android
So sorry to top post. I am writing from my Android phone and I dont find a way to write at the end or to delete unnecessary text. Good work, Praveen. Not being a developer, I am unable to contribute significantly here. But I hope developers here will contribute to the wiki and build a good database of project ideas for students. Also, as Praveen rightly suggests, mentor students from some college(s). Hope that we will soon be seeing several student projects in Free Software flowering in our colleges.

Best, Sasi a wiki page would be a good start, I tried to collect some ideas earlier http://www.fosscommunity.in/wiki/Projects/TaskList We can use that to collect more. Also it would be good to have every one in the community regularly interacting with students of at least one engineering college. I regularly interact with students of MES Kuttippuram, NSS Palakkad and COEP Pune. We should start Free Software communities in more campuses and also make sure existing communities are passed on to the next batch before the current active batch leaves (misses this step most of the time). If there is students from colleges other than the colleges listed there, reply here and we can find some one to mentor your community. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- Freedom is the only law.

That is true of virtually all educational institutions in the state and most of them in the country too.

Its sort of the same in other colleges also. My girl friend id doing degree physics and is proud of her 3.63/4 GPA from a *pretty awesome college*. I knew more physics when I was in 12th std. They barely learn anything in the whole course. Fiddle with a few transistors, make an LED blink with 555 and electronics lab done! Write surprisingly stupid, silly and childish exams, get awesome grades ans finally a degree. I have met CS undergraduates who have not seen CLRS or SICP. The worst thing is that colleges is Kerala (especially NITC) even though have a lot of teachers who barely know anything or teach things, makes the students attend 80% classes. A lot of colleges at least allow students to work on a major project alone during their final semester. We even don't have the liberty to do that here. Even a lot of private colleges allow that these days. Personally I don't have a solution to this.

[fsug-tvm] Booting from USB
I have been using Linux Mint for some time now. Recently, my hard disk started giving trouble and I am planning to get a new laptop. But, considering that I have to use this till I get a new one. I tried installing the OS on a USB stick, and I was able to do that successfully. But I find that my laptop does not boot from it, though I tried it on a desktop and it worked. My bios has two boot options that say USB cd rom and USB floppy, but no USB flash drive or any such. I guess this is because my laptop and, consequently, its bios is more than five years old. So, I was wondering whether I would be able to boot from the thumb drive if I upgrade my bios. Any pointers on this would be quite welcome. Thanks and regards, Sasi -- V.

The Secure Boot technology in present form is mostly harmless for advanced users who want to install their own OSs line Gnu/Linux (either with some extra effort, or by disabling secure boot). Novice may find the extra steps associated with secure boot a little intimidating. But a danger exists that the market monopolies may coax the system manufacturers (OEMs) to take away options to disable secure boot or add your own keys. If that happens, it will become impossible to install other OSs without rooting the motherboard. I am leaving this here for further thoughts. Dear Visakh, Thank you for posting it to smc. That is where I should have originally posted it, and, in fact, that is what I thought I had done. Some stupid oversight it was to post it to lug. Anyway, there is no need to apologise. You only corrected a mistake that I made. Thanks again and regards, Sasi -- V. Sasi Kumar Free Software Foundation of India http://swatantryam.blogspot.com -- Freedom is the only law.

[fsug-tvm] Microsoft coming back?
Friends, Today's newspaper says that the state government is discussing with Microsoft for collaborating in education, e-governance and what-not. This is supposed to bring transparency into governance. But this discussion itself appears very opaque. It is not at all clear what is wrong with the present system that uses Free Software in education. And it is strange that they think that Microsoft can bring transparency into e-governance. The result will be that the government will pay tons of money to the company as licence fees since all schools will have to migrate back to Windoze et al. Moreover, all teachers will have to be retrained, textbooks will have to be rewritten, and worst of all, it would be virtually impossible to bring Free Software back not only into schools but also into higher education. It is to be remembered that many, if not most research labs in India use GNU/Linux for their scientific computation and most advertisements for positions in these labs ask for knowledge of GNU/Linux and some scripting languages. So, will this mean that our students won't find it easy to apply for these positions? Finally, the national education policy itself speaks about encouraging Free Software and sharing. So where is the need to go to Microsoft now? Friends, we need to do something about this. I know that with this government, it won't be easy to push for Free Software, but we certainly cannot remain silent spectators to this looting. It would be good if someone can start a representation to the government and post it to the group or a wiki, so that others can work on it as we used to do and send it to the Chief Minister, Education Minister and others. And, perhaps, we can start a media campaign too. Ideas welcome. Best, Sasi -- V. Sasi Kumar Free Software Foundation of India http://swatantryam.blogspot.com -- Freedom is the only law.

[fsug-tvm] Copying text from pdf document - problem
Dear friends, I am writing this now because I am facing a problem for the first time and I am not able to find a solution. I have copied text from pdf files opened in evince and pasted them to get good results so many times. The only times I could not do it was when they had Malayalam text, whether from a document created using LaTeX or otherwise. I have so far have had no problems in copying English text from pdf files.I have done that from documents opened in evince or kpdf. But, now I am facing such a problem when I try to copy from a particular document downloaded from the Internet. I think it was created using TeX for two reasons. First of all the text shown at the top of the window says it is a dvi file. Secondly, it was created by the creator of TeX himself, the inimitable Prof. Donald Knuth himself. I wanted to quote his words in an article I am writing and thought I could avoid errors and also make it easier if I just copied and pasted the text. But I got gibberish when I pasted the text into an editor. I also tried converting the entire document into text using pdftotext, pdftosrc and pdftabw. But every time, I got only gibberish. Does anyone here understand what could be going wrong? Thanks for any help or even any pointers that you may give. Best, Sasi -- V.

Identification Account Data First name: Praveen Middle name: - Last name: Arimbrathodiyil Key fingerprint: 084623DBEEAB39E671665CCA3EB46FBCE0C010D0 Account: praveen 2. Background - I started using computers when I was 13, we had PCs with DOS at school and we had to learn gwbasic! I came to know about GNU/Linux via news paper articles but I got to use it only when I started my engineering course. We had Red Hat Linux 9 on our college lab systems with monochrome terminals. I was system administrator of college lab by the time I was finishing my 4 year course and I got to try various distributions - slackware, suse and many more small ones. We had one debian server too in the lab. I was attracted by the Free Software philosophy and we started a GNU/Linux user group a foss event (http://fossmeet.in) in our college. I volunteered for http://foss.in and started organizing many small foss events and regular meeting of Free Software User Group Bangalore. We always focused our advocacy on students and got many contributors. Free Software contributions: I started my Free Software contributions via Debian Installer Malayalam translations. We reactivated Swathanthra Malayalam Computing (http://smc.org.in) and started maintaining translations of GNOME, KDE and other Free Software. As a community we worked on all aspects of language computing including fonts, complex text rendering, input methods and other tools like spell checkers, text to speech systems etc. We were part of Google Summer of Code in 2007 and I was a mentor (students I mentored that year became mentors for the next year!). I'm also helping with operations of Chamba Free/Open/Swathnthra/Libre/Mukt Cinema Project (http://chambaproject.in). Debian contributions: I started maintaining lekonee-gnome, a word press blog client written by my friend and colleague Kushal Das. I was always eager to try newer version of GNOME and KDE and so I started co-maintaining libdbusmenu-qt. I came to ruby packaging when I wanted to package diaspora federated social networking software (http://diasporaproject.org/) in debian. I was involved in many ruby gem transitions to new gem2deb based packaging helper. I have been giving many debian packaging sessions and helped organize many mini debian conferences across India (http://in2010.mini.debconf.org/and http://in2011.mini.debconf.org/). Motivation: My main motivation in Free Software is the spirit of building things we need as a community. Since I had so many things in my wishlist, I knew I have to get more people if I want to see all of them become a reality. So my motivation in contributing to Free Software is to get as many of my wishlist items a reality by working with people who share the same wishlist or at least some items in it. The reason I chose debian over other distributions is its volunteer and democratic/do-o-cratic nature. I wanted to spent my time with a community that would be an equal partner with Free Software community and I wanted my voice to be heard by the community based on my contributions (not to be rejected by people who are in positions of power, acquired by privileged processes not available to me). Focus: In debian I would like to focus on diaspora packaging, getting more contributors by organizing debian events and mentoring new contributors. -- [It is not] possible to distinguish between 'numerical' and 'nonnumerical' algorithms, as if numbers were somehow different from other kinds of precise information. - Donald Knuth -- V.

[fsug-tvm] Problem in Android
Friends, I am facing another problem in my Android phone now. Finding that Got-to-do is a good task manager, I downloaded the apk file from a site and installed it. Now, when I try to start the application, it says that it was not obtained from Google Play, and then doesn't run. I have earlier installed other apps from third sources and have had no problem in running them. I don't understand why this alone is not running. Does anyone here have a similar experience? Or any idea what may be going wrong? Thanks in advance, Sasi -- V. Sasi Kumar Free Software Foundation of India http://swatantryam.blogspot.com -- Freedom is the only law.

All the same, I thought that it would be interesting to read the correspondence in an Android forum if there is one. But glad to know that there are people here who are familiar with the system. It was only a few months back that I got an Android phone, so I didn't have much interest in it till recently. Let me ask a question all the same. Today, after I completed a phone call that came from abroad, I found that more than 200 rupees had been cut from my balance. Thinking that they had started charging for incoming calls, I called the Customer Service and they told me that I had used the Internet to the extent of 19.5 MB, which caused the charge because I didn't have a GPRS scheme. The thing is that I had not consciously used the Internet for any purpose. I think the usage was caused by background usage by applications such as Latitude or some such. Now, I would like to know how I can prevent this. I also get frequent messages saying the last call cost something like Re. 0.10 or so, though the call time shows 0 minute. I think this also is due to background downloads and is causing unnecessary wastage of money. Thanks once again, Sasi -- V.

[fsug-tvm] users may lose Internet in July
Maybe good news for Free Software enthusiasts: Over half a million users may lose Internet in July, including thousands in India Washington: For computer users, a few mouse clicks could mean the difference between staying online and losing Internet connections this summer. Unknown to most of them, their problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of infected computers around the world. In a highly unusual response, the FBI set up a safety net months ago using government computers to prevent Internet disruptions for those infected users. But that system is to be shut down. The FBI is encouraging users to visit a website run by its security partner, http://www.dcwg.org , that will inform them whether they're infected and explain how to fix the problem. After July 9, infected users won't be able to connect to the Internet.

Dear friends, Now that Apple computers also are found to be susceptible to virus attacks, GNU/Linux machines remain the only ones not affected yet. But for how long?
