Re: [Ilugc] what is meant by cloud computing
check these links to know more about cloud computing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud To simplify, its like utility service such as electricity. You use electricity whenever and whatever quantity you need and pay for it at the end of the month. With cloud computing one can demand for computing power whenever and however much needed and pay per utilization unit. This requires considerable amount of infrastructure to be set up at the provider's side. At the user's end, its sheer convenience. Imagine you have a startup with limited costs, no IT resources, you have to get started immediately and get the product live etc. All you do is, go to a cloud provider, demand for resources, start using it right away and pay per usage unit. Its a win win for all. Thanks Gourav Cloud computing is nothing but technology that have all computing power in the Internet. For e.g., right now, when you use email, you already use the cloud. However, in cloud computing case, even your operating system will boot from cloud. You will only have a dumb terminal in front of you with no capabilities. The future is what Pano Technologies have introduced. http://www.panologic.com/ http://www.panologic.com/ A true virtualised desktop with no computing power. This is what cloud is all about. And when the company needs more processing/computing power, they just buy it from the cloud services provider, instead of buying it on their own. Imagine the hardware/maintenance cost savings if this model is implemented. The only true major hurdle with this type of implementation is the security of the cloud.

[Ilugc] Compiling Marble
Hi I am trying to compile KDE Marble from source. I wanted both Qt and kde version on my system. How can I accomplish this ? I did the following: I needed to change the default installation locationi.e. /usr/local (otherwise both installation will overwrite each other) I used cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= /usr/exportqt ../marble (exportqt is the directory where I want the Qt version to be installed) Any other way ? after this I used make install Then, I set the environment as export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/exportqt/bin/marble (marble is the name of the executable) Any other alternative to set environment ? But when I invoke marble from the shell, it says marble not installed. On clicking the marble gadget icon from the applications directory it says marble executable not found. How can I overcome this problem ? Thanks -- Siddharth Srivastava Human Knowledge is for all ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
[Ilugc] CLI implementation of the fd.o trash spec?
Hey, everyone, This is a bit of a silly question, but does anyone know if there is a simple command-line application which will trash files as per the freedesktop.org spec? http://www.ramendik.ru/docs/trashspec.html I know, I know, I should write it myself, but if it's just an `aptitude install` away, why not use that?

Re: [Ilugc] Help Needed
What I understand from VirtualBox is, it uses the host operating system to run the guest operating system. No sound in host = no sound in guest. For example: Internet/LAN usage in guest OS. If you see the LAN ip address of the guest, and if you see the actual ip of the packets(genrated from your guest OS) that are going out of your system, it contains the ip that your host OS has obtained. There is NAT running in the background to translate the ip addresses. I hope you understand. Please correct me if I am wrong. -- Kishore On Sat, Apr 17, 2010 at 4:03 PM, Arun Khan knu...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 5:39 PM, Sakthi sakthi.annau...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am using sun virtual box to run Ubuntu.

The simulation is so complete that any general-purpose operating system can be run within the simulated system, without modifications. The operating system running within VirtualBox is called the guest. VirtualBox achieves speed by trying to execute the guest instructions natively on the host processor (instead of simulating them in software), as much as possible.
