[Ilugc] phpmyadmin login issues

[Chandan Gupta]

this is seriously irritating. after going through blogs, stackoverflow and
others I couldnot find solution to this problem. Or may be I am missing a
simple thing.

I was uploading about 8 gb dumped file to a database and it got interrupted
due to system restart. after then I am unable to login to phpmyadmin.
the login redirects me to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php . the login
credentials are correct.
I am not sure if the interruption of upload made a difference. I can log in
to cli mysql and do everything. but not through browser. I checked with
other browsers too but no luck.

any idea would be appreciated.

Hi

I feel we should concentrate more Linux than on Govt's stand.

 TN Govt has scrapped the old tender and issued a new tender to buy only
"Microsoft" products.



> Surprising to note that ELCOT promotes Open Source.
http://www.elcot.in/open_source.php . Why Elcot changed their stance of
using Dual boot OS to Windows only  may have other reasons apart from the
Curruption as alleged. We need to find out the "real reasons".

Is there anyone in the group who have connection with Elcot to find it?

Too bad. Also a close reading shows that not only they removed Linux dual
boot, but the words "starter edition"(cheapest windows product) also is
missing in new tender. Now it simply says Windows.

It will. Rather that's what anti-viruses on Linux are made for.

[balaji sivanath]

Hi,
 I have an arch system triple boot with windows xp,windows 7. I am sure
there are viruses in both windows system, I am not interested in running
windows antivirus for hours to scan the system but leaves the virus.

Can i run clamav to remove all viruses which are in my harddisk? (I am not
sure that a software running in linux will detect exe files and find whether
they are legitmate or viruses)

An alternative is to run the command "sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg".
That'll terminate any process using the lock.

Re: [Ilugc] Freelancing or Part Time Work in a Particular Company

[Sidu Ponnappa]

Not necessarily true, but close.

Most freelancers who work alone at home and don't do anything else
outside of their billable work tend to stagnate and aren't the best
programmers (IMHO). The good ones are good because they also work on
open source and learn from other, better programmers. Basically, if
you freelance, you won't learn much from your billable work and if
you're serious about helping your career, you want to learn as much as
you can.

If you're looking to learn, identify programmers you'd like to learn
from working on popular open source projects that are small enough
that your pull requests will get their personal attention. Then try to
contribute enough to get commit. Not only do you learn a *lot* about
writing good code, putting that open source project on your resume
will reap rich rewards.

As a case in point, we only hire fresh grads if they have demonstrable
open source experience on their resumes.

You also need to take a call on how much time you have - I would
suspect that you can't study, do open source *and* freelance.

> Replacing ROR with anything suitable and considering the earning to be *not 
> only money*
You will pretty much earn only money. You will learn a fair amount,
but on the business side of things - and that's only if you look at
the whole proposition as a business venture with two assets, your time
and your knowledge. Run it haphazardly and you'll come out of it with
a decent amount of cash and little else.

I'm happy to answer any questions involving actual numbers off-list if
you're interested in the business side of things.

Best,
Sidu.
