  You probably have to allow transfers for the slave on the master.
  It's disabled by default.

 manual doesnt say that. anyway now i am getting 'received notify

Then the master is not authoritative for that zone.  Needs to be fixed 
first.

The DNS HOWTO discusses all this in gory detail.

is the naming of the zones important? the howto i was going through  
gives:

master_linux.lan
slave_linux.lan

for the filenames for the master and slave zones

[ilugd] Reliance R Connect Card on Linux ... it works?

2006-11-07 Thread Amit Sharma
 
i have just installed fedora core 5,  everything working fine, i also updated 
the pccardutils. 
 
When i insert my ZTE MC 315 pcmcia card(Reliance R connect Card)  and do a 
dmesg 
it shows : 
 
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 
ttyS3: detected caps 0700 should be 0100 
0.0: ttyS3 at I/O 0x2e8 (irq = 3) is a 16C950/954 
 
it is bound to serial_cs 
and when i do a pccardctl info it shows: 
 
PRODID_1=CDMA1X 
PRODID_2=CARD 
PRODID_3= 
PRODID_4= 
MANFID=0279,950b 
FUNCID=2 
PRODID_1= 
PRODID_2= 
PRODID_3= 
PRODID_4= 
MANFID=, 
FUNCID=255 
 
I also created a wvdial.conf entry as following: 
 
[Dialer Defaults] 
Modem = /dev/ttyS3 
Init1 = ATZ 
ISDN = 0 
Carrier Check = no 
Stupid Mode = yes 
Modem Type = Analog Modem 
Phone = #777 
Username = [myphonenumber]

and when i do wvdial: 
-- WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0 
-- Initializing modem. 
-- Sending: ATZ 
-- Sending: ATQ0 
-- Re-Sending: ATZ 
-- Modem not responding. 
 
 
I understand that ZTE card config information is not 
there , i couldn't find it on their website too 
 
Can somebody please guide me, to solve the problem.

You may have to change the init string. Google for this and you can

Depends on if you use udev[

without udev, you have a static /dev directory with most commonly? used

3) If these is no way for automatic generation of block device, how

I had to look this up once and found it in

use dd?


5) without using dmesg and message file, how one can get prior

[ilugd] Improving the performance of aspell in spellchecking Hindi

2006-11-07 Thread Gora Mohanty
Hello,
  Over the last couple of months, I have been working with a group of
people at Indicus Analytics on getting a Hindi spellchecker to function
properly. From their end, this will be deployed on http://raftaar.com
but the improvements will also be contributed back to the open-source
aspell spellchecker.
  There is a lot of work to be done in formulating the rules, and in
testing them to come up with an optimal set. We also need to define a
metric for the quality of a spellchecker. A beginning for this work has
been written up on the Sarai CyberMohalla Wiki at
http://cmwiki.sarai.net/index.php/SpellCheck . Please feel free to
add to this, send me comments, or to discuss it online, preferrably on
the prc list. The ideas that come out of such a discussion will also
be applicable to spellchecking in other Indian languages.

Regards,
Gora

[ilugd] Indian language character conversion

2006-11-07 Thread Gora Mohanty
Hi,
  My apologies to people who are getting this multiple times. I have
discussed the issue of a generalised approach to Indian language
character conversion with several people, and have been working on it
on and off for several months now. This would cover areas like keymaps,
font converters, and transliterators. 

  I have finally managed to write up a design document for the software,
an event precipitated by the need for Sarai CyberMohalla to convert
large amounts of Unicode text to a 8-bit font. A preliminary version of
the document is on a Wiki page at
http://cmwiki.sarai.net/index.php/FontConversion , and I will soon be
preparing a more detailed write-up. At this point, I am mainly looking
for technical comments on the software design document at
http://cmwiki.sarai.net/index.php/PratilipiDesign , though other
comments are also appreciated. I would also appreciate comments on if
the design is deficient for non-Sanskrit-based languages. If you see
major flaws in the design, please let me know soon as I am starting the
coding.

Regards,
Gora

[ilugd] FC6 Display Problems

2006-11-07 Thread dipankar das
Dear Friends

After installing FC6 on my Athlon 1800+ machine, with SiS VGA ('lspci' detects 
Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760/761 PCI/AGP VGA Display 
Adapter), and the monitor being LG Flatron E700S, the X was problemsome in 
the sense that a lot of black border was getting there on the console on all 
the four sides. I tried to fix it in FC6, but it was showing only generic 
'CRT' display and an outlandish screen resolution.

The way out was a bit stupid. I just copied the 'xorg.conf' from the SuSE 10 
installation, without the file section obviously, and pasted it in the 
'/etc/X11' directory. And, really to my surprise, now everything X started 
working nice in FC6. But, as expected, there are problems: when i want to log 
out from X, at times it works and at times it hangs. 

Is there a not so stupid way out from this X fix in FC6? Till i am in X, FC6 
is really working nice, and i need it particularly for its Bangla support, 
that is the best among the distributions i know, so i need to keep this 
installation.

Thanking in advance,
das
