A wonderful initiative Srikanth. Appreciate the work well done!

What's the point of SOURCE being OPEN or CLOSED -
if it only helps few individuals to build Hefty Bank Balances for
themselves and
CANNOT solve the problems of the COMMON MAN or at least benefit
him/her in some little way?

Are there any other projects that were started with the ONLY MOTIVE to
HELP our fellow Indians?
(a new thread on this subject would be very helpful!)



Thanks

missionaries of charity (Mother Theresa's initiative). We do these

1. Disaster management is a common mans problem and has been solved by
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Earthquake_map_resources
2 . Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya, widely known as Africa's largest slum
has been mapped by mapkibera project http://www.mapkibera.org/

And many more such projects are being pursued and can be pursued by us
in our local areas. I believe some work has been done on Mumbai slums
. We could do something in chennai for the river Adyar , cooum and its
sorrounding areas which are in poverty.

Thanks for the tip but henceforth please mention the Linux distro in

IIRC wajig is for Debian and it's derivative distros.

[Ilugc] FOSS Lab setup in Hindustan College of Engineering and Technology, Malumichampatti, Coimbatore District

2010-10-20 Thread Baskar Selvaraj
Dear all,

Today, myself setup a 52 seat FOSS lab for Hindustan College of Engineering
& Technology, Malumichampatty, Coimbatore, for the department of CSE using
Fedora-13.

The HOD/CSE, dept. staffs, Sys. admin / lab technicians showed more interest
in learning GNU/Linux and Open Source Software tools.  After having a hour
long discussion with Dr.J. Suganthi, it was decided that all the first year
students get started doing their practicals on the GNU/Linux platform.

For any feedback, pl. contact Dr. J. Suganthi (Vice Principal, HOD/CSE,)
regarding the FOSS Lab implementation.

Regards

What kind of information would this be?

Will it be back and forth interaction like this mailing list or will
it be just one way?

Foremost thing is to get proper information and requirements and
choose the right mix on that basis.

[Ilugc] [Tip] See The MAN page for the last command

2010-10-20 Thread Tha.Suresh
See The MAN page for the last command

$ man !!

$ man !!:0

This works in bash. The "!!:0" limits the argument to man to be only
the first word of the last command. "!!:1" would be the second, etc.


EX:

a...@arul-desktop:~$ ls | wc
 17  17 153
a...@arul-desktop:~$ man !!:0
man ls

a...@arul-desktop:~$ ls | wc
17  17 153
a...@arul-desktop:~$ man !!:1
man |

a...@arul-desktop:~$ ls | wc
17  17 153
a...@arul-desktop:~$ man !!:2
man wc

[Ilugc] to detect wireless networks in debian

2010-10-20 Thread narendra babu
Hello All ,
 
 
i have installed debian in my dell laptop , I am trying to look for wifi access 
points near to me .
 
Some of the options i tried ,
 
I could not  look the wifi tower switched on in the laptop , i tired to switch 
on using the button supplied with the laptop , it was working fine before in 
windows before and when i reinstalled with debian its not blinking.
 
I tried below approach
sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant
sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome network-manager
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
Comment out everything other than “lo” entries in that file and save the file
Create a file called /etc/default/wpasupplicant, add entry ENABLED=0 and save 
the file
sudo touch /etc/default/wpasupplicant
Rebooted system 
 
No luck i could not see any wireless networks displayed 
 
 
Just curious is there anyway i can switch on the wirless button using command 
line

[Ilugc] tcpwrapers not working for ssh

2010-10-20 Thread Govi
Hi,
  tcpwrapers for ssh are not working on CentOs5.4 hsphere installed . I
have checked with other systems it was working fine without any problems.Can
any one have a idea about it.


/etc/hosts.allow file like this
sshd:   

/etc/hosts.deny file like this
ALL:ALL

but it was allowing all the ips to establish ssh connection.I know through
AllowUsers parameters in sshd_config we can do a same , but i want to do in
tcpwrapers.



*Thanks & Regards*

   Its quite sometime since I used wireless on debian. But
when I guess, installing ndiswrapper might help you at least get
wireless network addresses. Just give it a try. But I am not sure if
it is a free software. Thanks

If you are not successfully associated with AP then the indicator might
not blink.

Did you try?

$ sudo iwlist sc

It will list all the available access points.
