If you just have an Intel Graphics card instead, then you might have tough time clearing this issue. -- Thanks, Vanniarajan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] [OT] Bsnl Dataone connection is slow now a days
2010/7/27 ஸ்ரீ பிரதீப் sreeprath...@gmail.com I also have a BSNL broadband connection. But I don't find any issue with the speed. In fact it is faster now. Only issue I face is with the DNS. I have changed the /etc/resolv.conf entry to point the opendns servers. After that it is normal. I get a download speed of more than 50 KBps. Changing in /etc/resolv.conf is a temporary fix, i guess. Most routers have the option to configure the DNS IP's. Doing it there is a permanent solution. Also, I found Open-DNS servers blocking Social-Networking services some times. So, i would suggest going for Google's Public DNS servers. http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 -- Thanks, Vanniarajan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] convert HD mkv to mp4

I wish to use a FOSS tool for this purpose(on Ubuntu 9.10). Can you please suggest some good tools which do the same without loss of clarity from the original video? ffmpeg is simply the best command-line tool for any kind of video-conversion. But, i prefer using ffmpeg using the Front-end GUI winff. sudo apt-get install winff Once done, just open-up the UI - Set output format, folder - Choose input file(s) for batch processing - You may override the default bit-rate by specifying the values OR you can edit the existing preset output formats. - Typically, a bit-rate of 6000kbps should be sufficient enough for a HD video. -- Thanks, Vanniarajan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] Humble request to revise the mailing list guidelines..
On Sun, Jul 18, 2010 at 9:00 PM, Shrinivasan T tshriniva...@gmail.comwrote: We always welcome mails in tamil. But with a translation. Everyone in the list have same rights. It is non-ethical to discuss something where some people see only boxes, question marks, non readable characters. It means they are prohibited to read the mails in the list. Why no body seems to understand the fact that we are not sending General ILUGC emails in Tamil, but we are sending only the emails related to Tamil-Courses / Translations in Tamil. A translated course-work in Tamil is obviously of less interest to a Non-Tamil reader. So, they can happily filter it out using a [Tamil] filter. No one has the authority to prevent the readers from getting the information. This basic right of getting information should be maintained for all the list members. No one is preventing rights of readers to know what they need to know. If a Hind-related stuff is discussed in Hindi on this list, i would happily filter it out. I don't feel anything bad in doing so. Please give a solution to maintain the basic rights of all people. There is no real problem in first-place. What kind of solution you need then? -- Thanks, Vanniarajan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

The guidelines need to be revised if it's true that this mailing list gives equal freedom for all. I completely agree to this. Discussing about a tamil-related work in Tamil (which is already translated from English) is possible. Again this needs to be translated to English in Email - is unacceptable. -- Thanks, Vanniarajan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

At present I do: python myserver.py my question is: If I log out from the server, will the script keep running? or will it die as soon as I leave. Experiments on the laptop seem to indicate that it will keep running even if I log out. I can also do screen python myserver.py --- this will work even if I log out. How about the first one. Or is there some other way (script in /etc/init.d/ for example to do this elegantly?) Running in the screen is the safest and reliable way to keep running a script after we logout. Steps are: (i) type screen -- this will create a new screen and you'll be inside the screen. (ii) python myserver.py (while you're inside the screen) (iii) Ctrl + A + d -- will take you out of the screen -detaches screen (but the screen keeps running and also your script) (iv) Now, you can logout of the server. Once you return, or anytime you need to view the python process running, you need to RESUME the screen that is detatched. You can do this by issuing : screen -ls (will list out all the running screen's PID) screen -x #PID of screen to resume Note: You can do lot more than just running a single process in the screen. man screen can explore those. -- Thanks, Vanniarajan ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
