Re: [Ilugc] Which Db i need to choose ?

Hi,


  Either postgresql or mongo. Mongo will be cool!
 


Don't pick something because it is cool. If I get it right, mongo and
postgresql address very different needs! But then am not the expert and all
I can suggest is understand your problem before looking a solution.


 Take a shortcut: install Postgres, and start developing.
 As a wise Software Engineer once said -- Plan on throwing one away. You
 will, anyhow.
 Just code a prototype. Your code will be unstructured garbage. Learn from
 it, throw it away, then start from scratch.

Re: [Ilugc] Programming languages

2013-06-11 Thread Abishek Goda
Hi,

Beg to disagree. By having a practical goal, one can learn how to do

 things practically. Then get inspired by how it worked and dig deeper.
 But if you've got a hundred interesting, practical problems to solve -
 then keep doing it.


Many times reaching a goal is the ultimate aim. Once the goal is met, the
tools and the path taken may seem irrelevant. At that moment, learning
ceases to happen. If I have a good enough internet connection, i can google
up or look up stackoverflow for references to solve the problem at hand.
Learning does not happen! Very few are actually inspired to go beyond the
problem they just solved.

Ok. I did not attempt to prove a point or disagree with you or others in
the thread. Its just a thought I felt a need to share!

Re: [Ilugc] factorial

2011-02-28 Thread Abishek Goda
Hi,

 Hi,
               Anyone knows how to find the factorial of a number without
 using loops , arithmetic operator,case structure.I guess that this has to be
 done by using bitwise operator.but i dont know how.

extremely long drawn, but possibly something along the asm lines?

you could increment using the or/xor operation, multiply by repeated
addition (which again is xor) operations. subtract with xor
operations. essentially, you would be rewriting every arithmetic is
the least arithmetic way possible.

but do keep this thread posted if there really is a simpler such
solution. would love to know :)

Re: [Ilugc] Alternate GIMP classes instead of PhotoShop

2011-01-30 Thread Abishek Goda
Hi,


 Even by a long mile I don't think gimp will match Photoshop.
 What made you think so? What's in PS that's not in GIMP? We use GIMP for
 all of our graphics. Please state the reasons.
While I don't know if I agree with the original claim, I'd just add
that adding an effect may be simple point and click in PS while it is
a little cumbersome in GIMP. That does not make GIMP inferior, but
artists are not geeks (not tech geeks, to be correct.).

 Wrong. There are no training institutes about how to use Firefox does
But what is it that firefox would do that is not already done with
other browsers? And when was the last time we did anything out of the
ordinary with firefox (or IE or chrome)? But image manipulation, to
some degree, is not doing the ordinary alone. Again even the new ones
are probably a mix and match of the existing ones. But if they are not
straight forward, then they are as good as not there. Problem is yet
again the user base. If you asked the community, they'd tell you how
to do with python script for GIMP. But how many times are python
coders doing image manipulation? Just curious. I could be entirely
wrong.

Re: [Ilugc] Alternate GIMP classes instead of PhotoShop

2011-01-30 Thread Abishek Goda
 It's not. Its point and click in GIMP. In fact we find GIMP much more
 easier and faster than Photoshop. There is a huge set of options
 available under filter. We even use GIMP to create generic animations.
hmm, actually I've never used PS and mostly worked with GIMP for my
little requirements here and there. Half the time i'd read up PS
tutorials and work a little out of the way to figure it out for GIMP.
That shapes my opinion.

 Same with GIMP. What is there than photoshop can do but GIMP can't. If
 you are a poweruser and know PS, then only you will be able to use full
 power of GIMP. I repeat we use GIMP for everything. And non of of
 designers are coder or programmers.
I never said GIMP lacked features. I said it is not as obvious as
others. Again, how will one become a poweruser if he cannot get past
the initial curve? Let us be honest, for most beginners GIMP is a
little intimidating. That is not to say PS is more user friendly or
intuitive. A simple search ends up returning more PS methods than
GIMP. Why don't power users like you add more tutorials onto the web?

 Enough said, now here are the guides to learn GIMP:
 http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
 http://www.gimp.org/books/
 http://www.graphics-muse.org/artistsguide/

:) I am sure every gimp user knows these links. Anyway, it helps to
have it the same thread :)

Just add a ethernet cable between the two machines. That is
straightforward, right?

On each machine, as root, do the following.

machine1 # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
machine2 # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3

you should be able to ping the machines from one another. Then rsync the folders

machine1 # rsync -r machine2:/path/to/files .

should do the trick. Again, this is not the only way. I am not sure
what GUI options are available. Some research on google should give

Re: [Ilugc] why people going for proprietary?

2010-10-15 Thread Abishek Goda
 Ha.. No need for such a no more situation.. If Microsoft finds a way to
 ban all pirated copies of Windows, thats enough. Except a few corporate
 offices and Windows fans, none will be ready to purchase the original
 version! Does MS have the guts to do that??

I think many europeans and americans buy their copy of windows.
So I want to assume you are talking india (or perhaps south east asia?)

Is that the only reason people use windows? MS did a great job of
convincing people (and very early on) that windows has the most
friendly interface. Most people get started with windows and are not
sure if they need to learn another system. Office has it, so I ll use
it here also kind of an attitude.

Unless you catch the kids very early on (around the time they get used
to programming, even a wee bit) and introduce them and train them
linux, they'd never have enough reasons to make the switch.

That said, if MS decides to crack down, I won't be surprised if people
start picking vendor PCs (like dell/lenovo/hp) that come with windows
bundled as part of the desktop/laptop!

 Service and support, yes; but warranty is not given by anyone. Read the EULA
 carefully. So no accountability!

No accountability or warranty is needed. The word is support and
service-level-agreements. Your critical project could not go live on
the given date due to a internal network/software issue, say. Its
impossible for a company to defend themselves from the client saying
they are on their own and will handle it within a few hours. Otoh,
they just might be able to bail out saying this installation cupped
and people from  IBM/MS/HP or whoever else is working on it. The
client might buy it. RHEL/Novell(are they still around)/Canonical
might be able to address this. Corporates would prefer to stay away
from having to worry about infrastructure. Unless LUGs and Linux
vendors can handle this with the same SLAs the other end of the
spectrum is offering (albeit at similar price), they cannot break this
barrier.

 he got the contract - I have no idea what fraction this was of the total
 cost of setting up the network, but it would have been only a small
 fraction. (btw, there is a company that charges 2.5 lakhs to set up a 60
 seat FOSS lab - and Basker does it free. So who makes more money?)

Sorry if this hijacks the discussion, i've not been totally following

do whatever they do for a living. If Basker does so for a living, I
really want to get some first-hand experience working with him (its a
delicate balance and if he does it I'd love to learn it from him,
otherwise unintended pun in that sentence be excused!). I am a little
surprised the company that quoted 7.5 for support actually won the
contract when MS prod+suport was only 3L more. But then that is what
it is. Linux and GNU could be passion but I am not sure how many times
passions also serve food.

 Do any one (from chennai) experience similar experience.

Is dataone the broadband connection?

2010-07-19 Thread Abishek Goda
Thanks Praveen,

 This means Victor did not like the solution of using tags as proposed
 and thinks he can sabotage this list with SPAM. He is sending random
 mails with random language tags, because, I think, he didn't like the
 idea that some people will post here in Tamil.
I perfectly understood the idea behind the spam :)

My question was slightly different though. For instance, I looked only
at this email since it said telugu. So, would it not irritate people
to tag a mail as tamil and write some other language in there? Many
would just have a filter to bypass the email to trash. But the few
interested would not like it, right?

Oh no, lets not pick on this. It is largely pointless.

Re: [Ilugc] Breaking blocked access in my office

2010-06-09 Thread Abishek Goda
 I am trying to overcome the blocked access in my office somehow as I think 
 the security restrictions have gone too far to carry on my daily activities. 
 Here is the scenario. I cannot access any email sites, IM sites, 
 entertainment sites from my office. The setup as far as I understood is that 
 all traffic from the local systems are being tunneled through a proxy server. 
 I tried using various methods to access websites  IM sites like anonymous 
 proxy servers  few other ways. But what I found was that no matter what, I 
 don't seem to be able to access any of the mail/IM sites. Just then I tried 
 Firefox add-on sameplace [xmpp] which was little complicated to set up as it 
 had few dependencies  the only thing that works for me now in gtalk. All the 
 other Firefox addons like gtalksidebar, meebo, etc failed. Certainly, they 
 aren’t blocking talk.google.com since any addon trying to connect to gtalk 
 connects to talk.google.com.

Seriously, if it blocked the sys admins should have a reason to. The
reason is certainly not for us to work around it. If you think they
are insane in setting some restrictions, take it up with them. Looking
for ways to tunnel only makes your position more complicated.

Re: [Ilugc] Breaking blocked access in my office

2010-06-09 Thread Abishek Goda
Hi,

 Blocking what via ports? Run a security scanner like netcat or nmap or
 nessus or nikto or hping.

and how should you install it? if I know it right, then most
corporates give you windows machines with the least privileges. In
fact, the few things that work best in these installations are MS
Office, MS Outlook and your coding environment. But then, thats all is
needed. I am not sure about these tools (i've used them on a linux box
at home where I am the admin) on windows, but wouldn't they need
administrator rights to actually do port scanning? Just curious.

 Run your ssh server on the public IP at port 80. And use it to forward
 all your traffic.
Again, you are behind a firewall with NAT. I don't have enough fundas,
but can you actually get the reverse-lookup right for the public
server to get back correctly? I don't know, so I am trying to
understand.

One last query, would not an existing IDS installation detect port
scanning happening on a certain machine? Would that not put our man in
question? He seems to be using his Official ID to mail the list. This
leaves me with the feeling that he is not entirely aware of what he is
doing. He could meaning only to check his gmail, but then if an IDS
detects his login, they are not going to believe him. are they? By IDS
I am referring to Instrusion Detection Systems. Btw, I am not sure if
they are common in Indian IT space.

Re: [ilugc] Column Name display in terminal

2010-02-10 Thread Abishek Goda
Hi,

 Ahh...good! I don't understand the difficulty in understanding this
 question. Anyways, let me break it up in to simpler sentences as
 you've asked for. Is it possible that we make the terminal, by
 default, display the output column names [like PID MEM etc] when you
 run a command [and that could be any command].

 For example: ls -lh returns an output without the column names. I
 would want to see if there is a way to display the column names like
 PERMS, OWNER, GROUP, FILENAME, SIZE etc by default.

I would like to believe that bash/shell is a simple means to run
commands that do your job. There is absolutely no reason why
bash/shell has to understand the outputs or interpret them for you. I
just might do iceweasel from bash. how is it supposed to categorize
all those gtk warning messages i might be getting? Or even know they
are warnings in the first place.

I think we should understand what to expect before looking for it. On
the other hand, its a better idea to see if the individual commands
have such options. I am sure many commands do. Or take their code and
edit that portion in. Its probably not worth trying a global wrapper
script to interpret all the commands that are already there and will
be added.

What I still don't get is why would you need bash/shell to do this for you?

remember not to background app. Its not the most brilliant thing to

 You can use 'alien' to convert .rpm to .deb package and try with the

You may want to check that the package is not already available for

 DIRECTORY=/home/varrun/Desktop/TODO/Final_yr_project
 if [ -d $DIRECTORY ]; then
        echo exists
        cd  $DIRECTORY
 else
        echo project directory either wrong or doesnt exist
 fi

 When i run it, the directory of my terminal does *not* change i guess
 because a child process cannot pass arguments to a parent process.
 Is there any other way i can do this?

Well, I think it should not change the directory of the calling
terminal, but within the script the directory will change. Try echoing
$PWD after the cd command.

 Please help me with your answers.

 *Q.) How to check the LOG FILES IN LINUX?*
Depends on what you want to check - whether  the log file exists, or
whether certain messages have occured etc. But I guess the most common
answer would be the tail command.

 Though I also do see 'b' mode in the manual page of 'man fread', but
 I'm doubtful about the results.
any specific reasons? Could there be a difference in the size of the
data types? Can you mask for the bits and see if that makes sense?
Just guessing too loud :-)

 There is no binary mode in Unix, or rather the default is binary mode.
  It would be easier to know what you're talking about if you post your
 code.
+1.
or perhaps it is the open/read functions that you need as opposed to
fopen and fread. again, just thinking aloud.

Hi,

 So as per your 'feeling'

 1.) If a member is working in centos, he can pass judgments on OP's
 certification as per 'this groups' rules
 2.) If he is a long time member of ILUGC he can get away with it

 Frankly, this reeks of bias, I am a member of this group for a long time as
 well, so does that give me the right to judge what other plp, off course I
 don't work in centos just use it sometime.

C'mon. I doubt Kenneth meant that. Can we try to get things in the

Re: [Ilugc] Code Size Reduction Techniques

2009-12-03 Thread Abishek Goda
 I used strip too.I was able to reduce size of code.

 But are there any other methods for code size reduction?
I think the only other option is to recode the bulkier portions in asm
directly. i am not sure we can beat the compiler at its job, but
sometimes you know the system and can make sensible assumptions
unknown to the compiler.

I don't remember very well, but mysql should have its own log file.
Try to see if there are any error codes in that file. look that up in
the mysql site. guess that would help faster.

I remember seeing this problem when i was using mysql. all i did was
paste the error as it is in the search bar. apparently, google still

Re: [Ilugc] How to measure the humidity in groundnut using linux?

2009-11-11 Thread Abishek Goda
Hi,

 The complexity is in building a system that measures the humidity: collect
 statistically valid samples,  weigh them , then grind , then heat them till
 all liquid substances are evaporated, then weight them again, find the
 difference in weight, make allowances for the volatile veg oil that also
 evaporated you then have the qty of water that was there in the sample.
 And build a system that will automate the above listed steps!!

Wow. I quit biology after 10th std. but if the solution is this
complex, then we might not be on the right track:-)

Re: [Ilugc] /. /.. files in home directory

2009-11-10 Thread Abishek Goda

 It makes sense when you say that the .  the .. are references to the
 hierarchical previous  current directory. My question is a reference to a
 previous directory is explainable but why would you need a reference to a
 CWD? I don't mean to pull this any longer but I'm unclear about this.

Try thinking from the machine's point of view (ok, not that the
machine has a point of view!), how do you refer to a file in the CWD?

Re: [Ilugc] qt in debian sid

2009-11-08 Thread Abishek Goda
Hi,

 Have you checked with bugs.debian.org/qt4-x11?
nope. i will look now.


 By the way, the safer way to work with Debian sid is to install it
 under a chroot and use it with pbuilder or schroot. (For GUI stuff
 you may want to add Xephyr to the mix). This way you don't bork your
 working system if sid has broken something. (In the Toy Story, sid
 was the kid who would break all the toys!)

perhaps right. since i was never anything close to gui and since my
python is compiled from sources, i never faced this before. will try
your suggestions. thanks

 Now i am moving the c/C++ code to Little endian Linux X86 ,


 i would like to know what are issues need to be addressed when moving from 
 big endian  to little endian .
Not too sure, but recompiling should handle this automatically. Unless
of course, there is code that assumes big-endian and optimizes
something.
