I'm just guessing here but since these distributions are very old, these errors could be due to the usage of unsupported protocols/ciphers. That said, these are unsupported releases and even Ubuntu 10.04 LTS reached EOL some time earlier this year. So you shouldn't be using it.

However it could be done by a few while the rest of the group works on other aspects of the project. But yes, I do see the advantage of working with machines that already have the OS. What does 're-purposing' mean? Am fascinated by the way people use words - so would appreciate a clarification, in case I haven't understood. Re-purposing means reusing for a different purpose. What Mohan was trying to say is that, instead of targetting hard drives for the installation of Ubuntu, you could get a full computer and repurpose it by installing Ubuntu on it. That way you don't have to install Ubuntu on hard drives hoping that it would work fine. If it didn't, you might be requiring the correct drivers to be installed. This is because it is better to install the OS on the computer where it is going to be used as the OS installer will take care of installing the appropriate drivers for the particular hardware.

The following python snippet can help you. sudo pip install timestring Not a very good idea to pip install arbitrary packages from pypi into the system-wide python installation. It is a best practice to use something like virtualenv or buildout to isolate such packages required for specific project. To achieve this using virtualenv, you might have to use the following commands. Install virtualenv On Debian/Ubuntu based systems, the package to install for this is 'python-virtualenv'. Once it is installed, create a virtual python environment using the following command $ virtualenv /path/to/name-of-virtual-environment Activate it: $ source /path/to/name-of-virtual-environment/bin/activate Install the packages from pypi that you need for your project into the virtualenv. For example, $ pip install timestring When the virtualenv is activated, the 'python' command will be pointing to the isolated python installed within the virtualenv. So you can write your scripts and then run them by just invoking 'python' as you would do outside a virtualenv. Exit the virtualenv: $ deactivate To execute the script using the virtualenv without activating it, run $ /path/to/name-of-virtual-environment/bin/python your_script.py Thanks Regards, Guruprasad signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines

I was able to get display on the HDMI display while installing Ubuntu though to a max of 1440x900 resolution. Post installation, I installed the Radeon 5450 (my card) drivers from the Dell site and then was able to get full HD output. If the laptop has a dual hybrid-GPU setup, things might be a bit more complicated to setup. I was trying to follow all the guides to setup the dual hybrid GPU on my wife's laptop using Debian/Ubuntu and none of them worked. Then I figured out that there are multiple ways that the dual hybrid GPU might be configured on the laptop. For instance in my case, it was always the intel GPU that was exposed to the OS and all the intensive graphics work, the intel GPU offloaded it to the AMD discrete GPU and then rendered the result. So installing a fairly recent version of kernel (Debian Jessie) and enabling just the intel GPU first before installing the radeon driver solved the problem for me. So you might have to do some research before trying the various howto guides. If you don't understand any of the terms I have used, please feel free to search for them and read up.

The static files in STATIC_ROOT folder will be served only when the DEBUG flag is set to True.

When I try to load my logo image I'll show page not found (404) error. What should I do? Are the files you are trying to access, present under the STATIC_ROOT directory?

Following the mailing list guidelines will help you in getting answers to your questions. Django will look for static files in a list of predefined locations and then in STATICFILES_DIR and then copy all of them to the STATIC_ROOT. So you have to place your custom static files within one of the folders specified in STATICFILES_DIRS and not place anything in STATIC_ROOT directory and then run the 'collectstatic' command.

As ILUGC have grown much, we should have more patience to answer the new comer/learner/fresher. The audience who reads your mail gets impression that, this forum is only for experts. And people may hesitate to raise a query in this forum. We are very tolerant and patient with the newbie posters on this list these days. In addition to providing answers and solutions to the posters, we also try to educate them on the mailing list etiquette so that they will do prior research and work before asking questions on this list instead of treating this list as a free technical support forum, which it is not. Most of the long-time subscribers on this list are people who are interested in GNU/Linux, Free(dom) software and the associated ecosystem and want to share their knowledge and at the same time learn from each other. There is a very good reason why How to ask questions the smart way (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) by ESR is often recommended on mailing lists like this to newbie members. The another perspective is, If you google it, you can get 100s of pages(out of it 80+ pages are not relevant info). But only experienced people(who works on this ) can suggest or guide the good one. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime goes a very old and popular saying which is very relevant here. I know that searching on your favourite search engine (say Google) can be a daunting task with 100s of pages of results. Knowing that, though people rarely navigate beyond the first few pages, I had pointed out the official documentation docs.openstack.org (which happen to be within the first few results on the first page) to the OP to help him narrow his search scope. Shrini had suggested devstack.org which is primarily for setting up OpenStack development environments. OP had not stated what is his purpose of setting up OpenStack - whether for hacking on the OpenStack code, in which case devstack.org would be a good place to start or to setup an OpenStack production environment, for which the docs.openstack.org links would be the best place to start. This mail is not intent to hurt you. Just sharing my thoughts. No offense taken. I stand by what I did to help the OP and at the same time educate him.

On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 4:12 PM, Priyanka Sarkar efyed...@efyindia.com wrote: Dear All, We thought of coming up a good story on the distro release time span. Our question is 'With many distros going for a six-monthly release cycle, do you think the release cycles of distros are too short? (And users don't have to upgrade on a frequent basis?) ' If users want the latest or bleeding edge sotware (mostly the case on personal computers), they can always keep upgrading to the latest release. Even if they don't want to follow such a short upgrade cycle and have reasonably latest software, distros like Ubuntu have LTS releases that get a lot updates backported from the newer releases and are supported for a longer time. For servers it makes sense to stick to stable and thoroughly tested releases like that of Debian which are rock-solid work just fine compromising the need to have the latest software in favour of slightly dated versions. Mostly in production environments, people tend to prefer no changes unless they require newer software or want to upgrade to the newer release which comes out once in a few years. I use a combination of Debian unstable and testing on my laptop and that helps me have the bleeding edge software. Of course there are greater chances for crashes and critical bugs to make the desktop unusable, but with a little bit of know-how it is very much possible to recover from such scenarios. I prefer rolling releases of distros instead of one big fat release that comes out every 6 months or so as the downloads are incremental instead of bulky. Debian suits me best here.

Re: [Ilugc] What changes we need in the list?
Hi Shrini, Here are my thoughts on this topic. On Fri, Jul 5, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Shrinivasan T tshriniva...@gmail.com wrote: Friends. Though we have around 3000 members in our list, only some 20 people will be talking in the list. No one is forcing the remaining 2980 members not to post to the list. Some might have voluntarily chose not to post while some might be overawed by discussions and arguments. As much as they grasp the negative things happening in the list, they should also try to catch on to the positive things and try to follow them. I hope there 20 people are good background in the Foss world. Rarely we are getting the mails from newbies. I am getting many complaints as we are not newbie friendly. It is quite natural for newbies to hesitate posting to this list even if this list was 'newbie-friendly'. What we request from the posters is that, they should observe the things happening in the list and listen to things people point them to. For example, whenever some one asks a poster to follow the mailing list guidelines and not top post, how many people really do that. A few might not understand what is meant by top posting and why not to do it, but I have seen very few asking more questions in this regard. All we is see is blatant and repeated top posting even from a few old-timers on the list which is not a good example to set imho. For example if I am a newbie, my first question could be totally insufficient in information or could be in SMS lingo. Some helpful person on the list would have me asked me to provide details on what things I tried, what error I am seeing and etc. and pointed me to http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html. I should understand that the person has spared some of his valuable time in trying to help me solve my problem and has taken additional effort to point me to the smart way to ask questions so that I am more likely to get an answer or a solution to my problem. Taking it into consideration I should try to follow all the guidelines I have learnt from my first post and the responses to it and try not to repeat the mistakes. How many times has this happened? I can say, barely few have gone through this learning curve. We send the mailing list guidelines to the new subscribers on joining the list and also send the link to the mailing list guidelines in the footer of every mail so that people take note, read it and try to follow it. This is not a free support list for people to expect guaranteed answers to their questions or solutions to their problems. The people on this list are mostly folks interested in Linux (or GNU/Linux if you prefer to call it that way) and free software and voluntarily share their knowledge and experience to help people solve their problems. It is a two-way road, the same people who help people solve their problems also ask questions when they face any issues. While this list has been self-governing all this time as Raman pointed out, more and more people are starting to abuse it willingly. At such a point there should be a little bit of moderation done imho. I agree this a place where we promote freedom but that doesn't mean everyone should blow their mouths off with the instantaneous things that comes to their mind. After all, this is a public list and the archives are available on the internet for everyone to see. So do people really want to talk things and have them recorded in the history of the internet forever linked to their name? While I could easily filter such emails, it does paint a very bad picture about ILUGC which is so untrue. These are my thoughts from the perspective of a person who has been on this list for a reasonable time.

I am looking for a similar one in Debian / Ubuntu (i.e. creating individual static HTML page for each binary package) What about packages.debian.org? It looks very similar, though not an exact match. http://packages.debian.org/about/ has more details. I was searching the internet for something matching your requirements and came across this - http://debian.wgdd.de/debian/ . There is a 'parse-apt-files.inc' PHP script that was used to generate the list in that page. With some customization, you might be able to get it to work the way you want it to.

I want to backup all data and re-install with latest possible android. Since yours is a Nexus device, the official images are available at. There are instructions in the same page. Note that the latest version officially supported by Google for Nexus S is 4.1.1. If you want to install the latest and greatest Android version out there - 4.2.2 at the time of writing, you can flash ROMs like Cyanogenmod, AOKP.

Re: [Ilugc] Microsoft Office 365 for Education made mandatory for approved institutions by AICTE

Ohh no , isn't that sick of AICTE to say its mandatory ? It felt really rude to me. What about the existing infrastructure that the colleges have? Do they even offer a proper migration? What if the government changes after the elections and some one decides that this project should be scrapped? What will happen to the data that lies in the control of Microsoft? What if after some time Microsoft decides that it is not worth giving this service for free and decides to charge per user? Will they offer a way for people to export the data? Is changing the MX records just the only thing they expect from the colleges and do they expect all colleges to blindly oblige? I just felt like reading http://www.aicte-india.org/aboutaicte.htm to see what they are all about ! But as community members we must do something to prevent this onslaught . I am guessing this is a country wide thing . I came to know about this only when there was a point-blank email to my alma mater asking to change the MX records and point them to a subdomain of invalid.outlook.com within a couple of days' time. Since the email came from one of the partners of Microsoft, I even suspected that this could be scam email and that AICTE website could have been compromised. But after I saw an article on the Microsoft site gloating about its largest cloud customer, I realized the enormity. I am surprised to see how this hasn't come out big in the news or have all colleges budged? Thanks Regards, Guruprasad ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Infact, I tried all possible packages available under open source. But unable to get desired result Did you try Fedena? Is it one of the very popular solutions in the open source world for what you are looking for. [ kindly avoid web search results as answers , I desired to have suitable solution from people with hands-on experience ] web search results was not suggested as an answer. Balachandran even pointed out that there was a discussion in this list some time back regarding setting up Fedena. If you have indeed tried Fedena and all the other open source software that comes up in the search engine results, then the best bet would be to write your own solution - stand-alone or integrating with Drupal, or in the worst case, you could write a small script in your favorite scripting language that reads the data from a CSV file and creates a Drupal page with all the data in it. This is my 12th Year in the Mailing List. My posts will be only based on specific needs. [ only after a thorough web search ] Your top posting suggests otherwise.
