Re: [Ilugc] New Website Development
- Original Message - From: Ashwin Dixit 3. This Linux list is very Indian in flavor. Lots of dissenting voices, and complaints, but very little action. Perhaps the government that governs least is the best government. Yet, this list seems to have no will to govern itself, whatsoever. I could yell, and curse, and insult, and do anything here, and I will be tolerated. Who is going to stop me ( or Girish ) ? There are no moderators here! Isn't it wonderful to know that I can dump sewage here? :-) > If You feel this list is worthless you can leave, nobody is compelling you to stay. Normally this list is not moderated heavily, as almost all members are civilized and cultured. After Shrini intervened things became normal. If any list member likes another member, that is not cause for intervention. I think you are overreacting. If need be we will step in again.

This is not free beer. The trainers will be paid by the college. Many colleges had bad experience with many commercial entities. This professor has some keen interest in promoting FOSS. Almost all the CS students are already trained in basic Linux. He also made his students to contribute to spoken tutorials project. He has offered us place and facilities for any event that ILUGC will be hosting including monthly meetings. I am afraid by needless discussions we have reduced our standings in his view.

Re: [Ilugc] call for stalls - SFD
Dear luggies Yesterday Shrini and myself met the HOD of CS of Vaishnav College. He is very dynamic and want the event to have big impact among students. He has done excellent arrangements. We are hopeful of getting good media (tv and print) coverage this time. We are hoping an attendance of not less than 2000. I request all members to come and participate in the event. We need more stalls. Stalls by members with real life working experience will go a long way in driving the software freedom message well. We are getting two halls for lectures also. We need speakers to talk on FOSS. Please volunteer by mailing to Shrini or list.

Multiple users with root privilege can exists in a system. However there will be only one user name 'root'. It is not 'root' that determines the privileges , but it is the uid in /etc/passwd that determines. You can have multiple users with root privilege by doing following steps 1. Copy the line containing root user information in /etc/passwd into a new line and change the name 'root' some thing else say 'root1'. 2. Copy the line containing root in /etc/shadow into a new line and change name 'root' into 'root1' 3.Now you can login as root1 and get all root privileges. You can change password for this user.

In my experience Thin clients are costly not only to purchase but also to maintain as the special design makes it difficult for others to repair.

It is most likely that video is not detected properly. Try to go into single usermode and look at log files in /var/log. Files like Xorg.log or dameon.log may give you some clue.

Debian has hwinfo package which gives extensive information about hardware. Possible way to solve your problem 1.Install hwinfo 2.Run hwinfo at boot time - save the output 3.Create a git repo and commit this 4.Write a startup script which will run every subsequent boot to create hwinfo output and commit the changes with some automatic header something like 'hwinfo as on date' 5.use git log to know the changes Raman.P blog:http://ramanchennai.wordpress.com/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
