Srini,

has been asking for volunteers for a Ubuntu/ Fedora release party.

Very few turned out & that is not conducted yet.

We need to first raise hands here, if this has to happen.

Your Tamizh fonts display very beautifully in my OpenBSD.

Okay now audacity can only remove voice track if multiple tracks are
preserved in
the format.

I don't think mp3 has support for it.

Best of luck.

Girish is right, here. You can get a nice perfect result only if you
already have the tracks separately. However, there are things you can
try with Audacity, and they're listed on the [Audacity
Wiki](http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Vocal_Removal).

This sort of thing is usually used to get karaoke tracks, so that's a
keyword worth searching for if you want to try other methods as well.

For those interested in science, the process of obtaining different  sound

(computational auditory scene analysis) or blind source separation as
keywords to dig out more information.

bandwidthd  does this with nice graphics.Most tools measure the

 It tracks the "total" data over an interface by protocol.

I've tried using some of the free alternatives and found them difficult to
use after having used Autocad. It had more to do with lack of features as
one is accustomed to think in terms of features that Autocad offers. I wish
some where good enough for simple drafting. QCAD is supposed to be good but
I still had difficulty using it.

Draftsight is not an open source but a free drafting software released by
Dassault Systemes which can read ACAD files and is pretty good for
drafting. Pure 2D.

Would like to hear experiences others have ahd with CAD packages.

My father's company had no choice but to stick to Autocad. There were a few
alternatives like Turbocad which was much cheaper and was good. The reason
why we had to stick to Autocad was because of employees. The existing
draftsmen (who call themselves design engineers) were not willing to learn
any new software. When we started to interview new people, some of them
 thought that we were weird  to use anything other than Autocad and a
majority thought that it would be a career disaster for them to work on a
non Autocad using company.

[rant]
That's the state of our nation. Draftsmen who think they are engineers and
engineers who forget that any software is a tool. At least this shallowness
is currently limited to the college educated lot in our country :) Wonder
when car drivers are going to demand a BMW  to get employed.

Although I know nothing about engineering drawing(save doing it in
college) or CAD,

I will pass general remarks.

Learning something new is hard.

It is hard for me, hard for you, hard for everyone.

Only that it is less hard for certain people as they have trained
their brains for that.

Whenever we learn something new, a new channel has to form in the
brain. It is like
a needle laid on top of a clay like matter. It has to slowly form its
impression.

So this resistance is not unusual or unacceptable.

Well as long as there is poverty in our country, as long as we are not
as  well off as some
 Western nation people will always be available for work.

It is all about demand/supply.

In general I think if we pay good money you get good people and if
your company is
 known to be stable.

[Ilugc] Tools for simulating network issues

[Suraj Kumar]

Hi,

I'm looking for ways to simulate network issues. Specifically, the
following scenarios:

IP
  - packet loss
TCP
  - connection establishment takes time
  - connection established, but server application is slow / unresponsive
  - piled up connections / running out of sockets

The end goal is to expose learners to these problems and be able to show
how tools like netstat or collectd's graphs will behave upon each scenario.

I don't have multiple real machines, I have 8 VMs running inside a
reasonably powerful quad core box. The box has only one network card. The
"learners" do a graphical login to the box over LTSP and ssh into the
various VMs.

Theoretically, I do see a way to achieve these by developing relevant
netfilter modules - however, I don't know if any ready made modules exist
or how easy/time consuming it may be to develop a netfilter module,
especially given I want the simulation to be highly controllable. Am I
right in my approach?

Any suggestions / pointers to tools will be helpful.

thanks,

  -Suraj

I guess the tc tool would be of use to you. You can do
something like this:

# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 100ms

for adding a 100ms delay to all packets. It can be deleted later. tc
lets us do a lot of things. This was just an example. A wrapper script
over tc should be able to do the job.

[Ilugc] Query: Tools for monitoring servers

[K.C. Ramakrishna]

Hi all,

We are trying to look into monitoring servers in Beta and Prod environments.

The stack:
a. 2(more in future) Front End apache httpd/tomcat/Liferay Servers
b. Independent CAS-SSO and SOLR servers.
c. standalone server running webservices (written in Java)
d. 2MySQL (Percona) servers 1 WRITE server and both READ.
e. Front end Hardware Load Balancers.

We want to monitor continuously:
a. All the Linux boxes and the services running on them,
b. The performance (and history) of the Java applications too.

We are exploring the best ways to monitor the whole setup including alerts and 
automated restarts etc. We are primarily from a development background with 
only basic admin experience (basic bash, installations, tuning etc).

I have researched all the usual suspects: Cacti, Nagios, ZenOSS, Zabix?..
JMX seems to be very popular for tomcat/Java.

What are your recommendations for handling this scenario? What are the pros and 
cons of various tools and approaches?
Please do share your thoughts on what will be a good solution. All live 
examples will be very welcome in educating us.

Thanks,
kc

[Ilugc] Image processing in 16 bit color depth?

[Arun Venkataswamy]

Hi,

Gimp is limited to handling 8 bit color depth only.
Any pointers to a good alternative in Linux to handle 16 bit color depth?
I use UFRaw to manage raw file from the camera and it handles all color
depths. But I need something interactive like Gimp for post processing.

Also, anybody else interested in long exposure photography and/or astro
photography? One tool which is an absolute must is a stacking software.
This seems non existent in the Linux world. My image processing / math
skills are not good enough to write one on my own. Anybody else having any
luck on this? I am forced to depend on my Windows box to do most of the
processing work. Writing a stacking software for Linux does seem inviting
as the monsoons have set in and our telescopes and cameras are locked in...

[Ilugc] Watermark using Composite, Python and Identify

A few days ago I wanted to watermark few of my images on command line and I
wrote this blog
http://bullet-bala.blogspot.in/2012/06/adding-watermark.htmland the
trouble which I had was that the Watermark was either very small or
very big and got out of the final image. The result of which I created a
small python script to extract the Dimension of an image and resize my
Watermarker so my water marker always looks okay on the final image.

Initial step create an watermark image and put in inside
/usr/local/src/watermark1.jpeg or whereever you desire and change the
script accordingly.

Next call my python script on command line like so

[quote]
GEGL
The Generic Graphics Library (GEGL) was first introduced as part of
GIMP on the 2.6 release of GIMP. This initial introduction does not
yet exploit all of the capabilities of GEGL; as of the 2.6 release,
GIMP can use GEGL to perform high bit-depth color operations; because
of this less information is lost when performing color operations.[33]
When fully integrated, GEGL will allow GIMP to have a higher color bit
depth and also a better non-destructive work-flow.
