If you are using Ubuntu, 'vlc' package is present in the universe

didn't run 'apt-get update' before running 'apt-get install vlc'. Try
that and let us know if your problem still persites

  May be because you are new to GNU/Linux, I would suggest you
start with the GUI tools first. You should most probably have
synaptic, or at least Ubuntu Software Manager if it is Ubuntu. You
will find that in System-Administration-Synaptic Package Manager on
a normal gnome 2.x desktop. You can search for the software you need
from synaptic.

  But going forward, you can gradually learn how apt/aptitude
works and then start using it. If you find anything difficult or
intimidating, please feel free to ask. But before that, try to search
for a solution in the Internet. Finding solution ourself without too
much help from others is a great joy in itself :) Enjoy your
GNU/Linux. Thanks

It looks you are using a debian based operating system.

1. If you are in Ubuntu Open  Ubuntu Software Center and search for VLC
and install it by clicking the install button.

2. If you are using LinuxMint then you can install it via Software
Manager and the same way search for VLC in it and install by just simply
clicking the install button.

3. Or else try this from terminal:
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc

If none of them shows up then you need to update your system via Update
Manager so that the Software Database (local repository) will also be
update and you can try any one of the above 3 methods :-)

initial comments:
... the authors are definitely biased,
vendor lock-in is not properly considered.
Does not analyse implementation models from the perspective of licenses.
The blanket term 'open source' is used.
Some remarks like those on 'functionality' are wild and unjustified .

[Ilugc] [TIP] perl beginning

2011-11-30 Thread Girish Venkatachalam
Dear all,

I have intermittent Internet access. Hence the absence of tips on the days
 I am unavailable.

I shall try to fix this problem.

Since we have seen a little bit of javascript, jQuery and CGI I think
we should revisit this
later. It is not possible to learn everything at one go.

Today I am starting perl training. Since I am not very good at Python
I will send tips in python later
 to improve my skills in that. ;)

Anyway let us begin with some history and background of perl.

This will also put you on a good footing to attend my perl class on
the 18th of this month at TalentSprint
 Royappetah.

Simply put Perl is a scripting language, an interpreted language and
it began with a  focus on CGI and
text processing in the UNIX world.

Today we find perl being used in all OSes but it is primarily a UNIX
thing and has very strong leanings towards
 UNIX geeks, IPC and UNIX internals than Python.

Is this is the reason people in India prefer Python over perl? I dunno.

I cannot answer that.

At least in LUG, the perl knowledge seems woefully poor.

Anyway perl is an interpreted language. Which means that the perl
source and executable are the same.

But that does not mean that we cannot compile perl.

$ perl -c first.pl

will tell you whether the compilation phase of perl is successful.
This is very nice.

We can identify a lot of bugs that way. Also the

$ perl -w

switch and the

use strict;

in the perl source code helps us debug further.

Now let us look at a hello world.

#!/usr/bin/perl

print Hello world\n;

$ perl -c first.pl

$ perl first.pl

will execute it and print it.

Now, perl has mainly 3 data types, scalars, arrays and associative
arrays/dictionary/hash.

Unlike shell scripts and makefile variables, perl always requires a
variable to be prefixed with one of
 $, @ or # before it.

Even when assigning a value.

For example, in shell we say,

Var=1
echo $Var

But in perl we say

$var=1;
print $var;

And remember every line in perl needs to have a  semicolon.

And though it looks like C, you cannot have an if condition without a {}.

However perl does allow this;

print no match if($var ne 10);

This looks like English. Perl has this construct.

But you cannot do this;

if($var ne 10)
   print no match;

Even single line statements need to go inside curly braces.

So let us look at a slightly complicated example before calling it a day.

$cat second.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my ($first, $second) = ();

$first = something;
$second=2;

print The value of first is $first\n;

print The value of second is $second\n;


We will see more in due course. Stay tuned.

 OpenSuse is one of the most stable distro I have ever seen. Trust me, I
 have started linuxing with Ubuntu like many others and get crashed my
 system while trying up something new. But in this case everything is much
 stable.

I have been using SuSE Linux since 1996 for my servers and have been a
happy user.  I was evaluating 12.1 from RC1 stage for desktop and it
was stable.

 *Version Number*

 With a bunch of new features and elegant performance improvement this new
 version is numbered as directly .1 rather .0, because .0 would create many
 expectations of major improvements.

I installed 12.1 RC1 on a brand new laptop (i5-2430, 4GB RAM, Intel
GPU, WiFi, BT, card reader etc.) and all devices work out of the box
w/o the need for downloading BLOB drivers.  I upgraded to 12.1
released version as soon it was available on the mirrors.

On the desktop end I am happy with it.

However, if you want to use 12.1 on the server side - a few words of
caution.   I was an early adopter on the server side as well but
reverted back to 11.4.

There are quite a few issues, mostly related to the switch from System
V init to Systemd init.  Change to System V init, if you must use 12.1
on the server side.  See openSUSE mailing list archives for issues
with 12.1.Plan to open bug reports on the breakage I have
experienced.

My 10 paise.

2011-11-30 Thread Arun Khan
On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 8:39 AM, suraj Suraj su...@careergear.in wrote:

 My requirements / problem-statements are:

 1. No fans, no excessive cooling requirements  - overall be low on power
 consumption
 2. super small form factor (preferably the ITX line); should be portable in
 bulk. (should be able to transport 15 of these in a car)
 3. gigabit network support
 4. no local storage (ie., no HDD / CD-ROM / etc., bulky/noisy/power-hungry
 stuff)
 5. USB / SD / CF types external storage support

I am using Digilite's  DL425 Intel Atom board (mini-ITX FF).  It does
have a fan for the CPU; the noise is almost not perceptible.   For the
case you can use iBall Netbook cabinet; it does come with a small
fan but does not create much noise.  You can see the cabinet at iBall
web site.  You can visit panache.co.in for smaller and more glamorous
cabinets but expect to pay around Rs. 3K.  It is your choice.

Mumbai price estimate would be around Rs. 5500 for the
board+memory+cabinet (iBall).  TN cost would be in the same ball park.

You can PXE boot it or use a thin client firmware.  I have done some
eval with Thinstation.net but not quite happy with resolution of the
fonts and icons.

 6. preferably works out-of-the-box with edubuntu / LTSP (ie., i'd rather be
 doing business than flashing ROMs or hand-configuring PXE)

Then be ready to pay extra bucks for some one else to do it for you;
be it a thin client vendor or a consultant who can do your setup with
off the shelf hardware (see above).

 From what I've looked around, there are cheap second-hand real-PCs (not
 thin-clients) that come for about Rs.4k (with hard-disk). Sun's Sunray,
 HP's and even LTSP's thin clients are way above my budget (works out to
 Rs.8K or more for the most basic model without considering import duties).
 Although, they are the only ones that do not need a fan and come with an
 intel atom / Via C7 like minimal CPU. I see a couple of local sellers, but
 that is exactly the reason I write to you :)

How important is it to you for a fan less solution?  The above
solution works me, especially, when I don't have to call the vendor to
fix it and loose 2 or more days in the process.

 If given no choice, I'd choose the older PCs at 4K which would run at a
 higher operating cost (higher power bills, higher cooling bills). But
 that's atleast a safer bet, unless you have recommendations on local
 thin-client sellers/assemblers. narrating your edubuntu experience will
 also be very useful here.

 Your suggestions?

I have shared my solution.  I hope you will share your solution once
you have completed your setup.

Not just India, world over, perl is not as widely used as, say, Java or
Python because perl, for writing anything significant, requires mastery
over the language's internals. Without experience and/or careful thought,
one can completely ruin or make one's code horribly difficult to maintain
if they don't know what they're doing with perl.

But that is fast changing - with Moose (and other emergent frameworks built
on top of Moose (like Catalyst MVC framework)), perl is now an extremely
fast paced environment.

At least in LUG, the perl knowledge seems woefully poor.


Perhaps because no such survey (we know of) has been conducted in ILUGC to
conclude whether the knowledge is there or not ;)



 Unlike shell scripts and makefile variables, perl always requires a
 variable to be prefixed with one of
  $, @ or # before it.



% is used to prefix hash variables, not #. But I can totally understand
how that freudian slip happened :)
