[Ilugc] mysql : not working in Terminal

2010-03-04 Thread selvamani sampath
I installed mysql-admin, mysql-server, and mysql-client5.1. But I got the error 
message while trying mysql in terminal. The error is :

selvam...@selvamani-laptop:~$ mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'selvamani'@'localhost' (using

Kenneth, Last time (couple of minutes ago) I googled Mumbai, It threw
up Maharashtra. Yes I am here in Mumbai Maharashtra PIN codes from
41-4001xx.

I never knew there was a Mumbai in TN though I was there for a year or so.

And yes I am born and raised in Mumbai Maharashtra, My father came to
Mumbai, Maharashtra in 1935.

That's about my man page.

You can pick on the typos... :)

PS: I did read the mail properly, and I surmised somebody would take
initiatives in introducing FOSS and fervently hope it becomes a
de-juro else de-facto in this state.

If this initiative is somewhere in and around Mumbai, I and some of my

At most the financial outlay may be conveyance.

[Ilugc] FOSS LAB Setup for Technical / Engineering Institutions in Tamilnadu

2010-03-04 Thread LinuXpert Academy
Dear All,

In the recent times, we are getting more enquiries from technical institutions 
to implement open source lab and we also have setup many open source labs in 
these institutions across Tamilnadu (Now, Polytechnics were also showing more 
interest in having Open Source labs and we already have setup in 2 Polytechnics 
running successfully)

Now, LinuXpert Systems has been taking initiative to setup open source labs in 
about 1500+ Technical Institutions (Polytechnics, Arts & Science Colleges,
Engineering Colleges, Universities) across Tamilnadu (for the first time, the 
foss lab setup would be done at free of cost).

The main objective behind this initiative is to successfully implement and 
support for FOSS enabled Technical / Engineering education in Tamilnadu
-

• By 2012, all Technical / Engineering Institutions should feel comfortable 
using / training their students on Free / Open Source Softwares
• To provide complete alternative FOSS solution for every Proprietary Software 
used in education
• Encouraging students/staffs members to get participated in FOSS development
• Interacting with College/Institution Management for successful implementation 
of FOSS throughout the institution (not limiting to CSE/IT dept anymore)

In this regard, we are looking for volunteers to support our initiative in 
setting up of FOSS Labs (preferably freshers, who might be looking for 
experience in FOSS) and also everyone's feedback.

Regards

S. Baskar
CEO/LinuXpert Systems

[Ilugc] Problem with Fedora 12

2010-03-04 Thread Sanjay Chigurupati
Hi,
I have fedora 12 installed on my laptop. I had installed youtube-dl  package 
and downloaded a youtube video from the net.
While shutting down the system, I noticed the rpcbind failed message during 
shutdown process. It came up twice.

Today morning, when I restarted, I am able to get into windows.
On linux, its taking forever.  I dont see any text console when I do 
ctrl-alt-f1 or ctrl-alt-f2.

any ideas on what went wrong and how I can recover it.

Regards
Sanjay

I've used Fedora 10 to 12, and  the default install was enough. It
detected almost
all the hardware and runs well. I don't think RHEL has any issues with
neither the
Atheros wireless card nor the Marvell card. I'm not sure, I installed
CentOS 5.4
on this laptop, and it works fine.

You seem to have a serious problem with your hardware/drivers and this
cannot be solved by a mailing list.

You should consult some other Guru or get him to come home.

You can buy a cheap 400 rupees USB NIC and get going otherwise.

Their volumes are low - they buy from the manufacturer and do their
own integration to ensure all devices on the laptops work with the
pre-installed Linux distro that they ship.  That costs time and money.

> what about thinkpad or vaio.

For the most "out of box" support on Linux;  any Intel Centrino family
chipset based laptop will do.  Beware of KVM support though - most
laptop BIOS are b0rked and do not allow loading of KVM modules even
though the CPU may support it.

As for Thinkpad v/s Vaio.   I would lean towards Thinkpad, IIRC some
thinkpad models come with FreeDOS thereby giving you a lower price
point.  Again look for Centrino family chip set.

To the best of my knowledge, Sony has never put a non-Windows Vaio
whereas most of the other manufacturers have; that is a decisive
factor for me.

Another more important issue is about warranty - check with
manufacturer for hardware support if you do install Linux on a system
that came with Windows pre-installed.
