Re: [ilugd] FC6 RAM

  but my system is not showing additional 2GB its just showing only 2GB
  memory.
Which is the motherboard? Does it support more than 2GB? Test the new
dimm in the old slot without putting in the new dimm to check
compatibility. Check speed and CL of both the dimms to see if they are
compatible.
Cheers

Re: [ilugd] [bash] what a fork bomb!

2008-01-08 Thread Anoop John
 I would like to know why,
 [shell]$ :(){ echo in background }
 works?
 [shell]$ :(){ echo in background }  -- NOTE: no ampersand(  ) here!
 does not work?

Interesting fork-bomb - probably the shortest possible.
The : could have been any char usable as a variable like say _ but
: looks neat because it is thin and is not an alphabet :)
If you do
[shell]$ :(){ echo in background; };
it will work. I think  takes out the need for the ; as end of line

Hmm, I've never heard the character : referred to as
such. Perhaps someone can comment on this, although I
doubt this is the case. IMO, the use of : is just to
obfuscate the fact that its a function name - it could
as easily be a or b or c, or fun.

If that were the case, things would look familiar I'd
expect -

:(){ :|: };:
fun( { fun|fun };fun

Declare function fun which calls itself and pipes the
output into another background process. The last
invocation of fun after the ; starts the entire thing.

 [shell]$ :(){ echo in background } 
 works?
 
 [shell]$ :(){ echo in background }  -- NOTE: no
 ampersand(  ) here!

Try it with a semi colon. :(){ echo foo; };

In the case without the ; inside - its a background
process, being given as a single command. Its
interpreted the same way you'd write 

$ echo foo 

without a ;. But in a for or do loop - you'd need the
; to end the line.

Whats interesting here is how the :|: is being used -
this exponentially increases the number of processes
spawned! Basically, pipes the output of one : into the
other background process..

Look at it - you need 5 layers of apps ( not including the actual web

 In particular, what kind of reinvention? IMHO, Rails eases up

 Thats correct. RoR differs from other frameworks a lot. But that can be

the only thing that RoR has going for it right now is ActiveRecord.

Setting up software RAID during the installation of Ubuntu is very
easy and can be done in a few steps. I had a problem booting into the
system after the install because of a configuration issue with grub. I
did not solve the problem but I worked around it by copying the MBR on
to both hard disks. But Yes I had successfully setup Ubuntu with
software RAID and lvm. I dismantled the raid set up when I wanted more
space :) (than more redundancy)

 Hi,
  Can we have a show of hands on immediately banning
 thoughtless people that pull this kind of nonsense on
 a mailing list. If required, the ban could be rescinded
 on suitable explanation, or after a fixed length of
 time.

Cool.

[ilugd] [COMMERCIAL] MySQL session at OSIW; let's design the programme together

2008-01-08 Thread Atanu Datta
Hi all!

MySQL will conduct a session in Bangalore and Delhi during the OSIW (Open 
Source India Week) where they want feedback on the topics the attendees will 
be interested in knowing more about. Following are a few topics that came 
forth when we were cooking the programme with MySQL's David Axmark and Brian 
Aker. 

1. Zero hassles transition from MS Access/Oracle to MySQL
2. How to do Stored Procedures, Triggers  Views in MySQL
3. How to write storage engines for MySQL

Those are some of the things that our DBA wants to know more about. Obviously, 
there should be many more topics that you all want covered or wanna discuss. 
Please throw your ideas, we'll put all of 'em in the melting pot, and hand it 
over to the Brian so that he can design the final programme. 

Best,
Atanu Datta

Dont you people realize you are being total hippocrites ?

At one end, you kick out a lurker who wants to reach out and contact
one-to-one with the group-- for sending a single off-topic message.

At the other end, you yourselves create traffic of 5-10 messages-- for
nothing ?

Personally I want to ask-- if connecting with like-minded people through
social networking sites is so bad, how come Barack Obama has a website and a
myspace page ?

Instead of revelling in such total groupism-- cursing the darkness- and then
looking for people to kick out-- you people should ask yourself if there's a
way to be more helpful to people who would otherwise be discouraged-- like
the guy in a US university-- who wanted to take classes in Delhi-- but who
was totally discouraged by the individual who in trying to show off his wit
and intelligence insisted on foisting himself upon him.

Mr.Gonsalves, do you realize how disgusting it is when you question some
youngster's chances of succeeding in life just because his english is a
certain way ?

You think you are being funny-- but how would you feel if someone made fun
of your children in a similar manner ? and that too a whole group of males ?

Having seen professionally-- the bad results such groupism brings upon
organizations-- I am sure this group would fare no differently.

Gora ? if you are a 20-something youngster from some small town- then stop
being a frog who even after being released in the ocean tries to carry his
vision of his well with him-- in time you'll realize it's not healthy- and
believe me you, I am professionally qualified to judge what constitutes
mental health and what doesnt.

This is not a social networking site. It is dedicated for the purpose

   No one denies that they are bad what we say is that they have no place on
a FOSS mailing list.
   If Barack Obama used this mailing  list to canvas for votes it would
still be considered as spam .

A mailing list has certain rules to follow and if you do not follow
those rules you can be kicked out.
It can not be termed as groupism.
On the other hand sending mails to a mailing list instead of sending it
to each individuals email id  seperately is a sign of laziness of the
greatest order and should be condemned.



 Mr.Gonsalves, do you realize how disgusting it is when you question some
 youngster's chances of succeeding in life just because his english is a

This has been discussed earlier and your chances of making some one
understand and replying to your email are much lower if the readers can not
understand your writing.
Not using the spell check feature is another sign of laziness and lazy
people are less likely to suceed in finding answers to thier questions than
people who go the extra mile.

You think you are being funny-- but how would you feel if someone made fun
 of your children in a similar manner ? and that too a whole group of males
 ?

What  does group of males or making fun of children have to do with the
point you are trying to make.
you think that all newbies are children who should be spoon fed like in a
school?


 Having seen professionally-- the bad results such groupism brings upon
 organizations-- I am sure this group would fare no differently.


Do you now realize how disgusting it is when you question ILUG-D's
chances of succeeding just because of the mails on its mailing list.

Aww. It is just a case of people still figuring out how to live on the
Net. I would suggest that instead of using the word ban (I have just
been hearing it too much in the media recently for other things), we use
the word temporary suspension instead. Internet etiquette and
especially that in open source communities is not intuitive to people
coming from meatspace(there, i always wanted to use that word :-P). It
might seem intuitive in retrospect, but I insist it is not, otherwise.

Yes, people do need to be made aware of network etiquette, but perhaps a
 gentler disciplinary approach transitioning to a tougher message over
time is better.

 [personal stuff snipped]

Priya, I believe you're looking at the function and the functioning of 
this list in a slightly different way from what most people perceive it 
to be.

To elaborate, this list is meant to discuss Linux, FOSS and related 
issues.  This includes technical issues, but the list also serves as a 
vehicle for discussing larger social issues.  Surprisingly (or perhaps 
not so surprisingly), the list is also used to find like-minded people 
and organise face to face meetings, etc.

On the other hand, no matter how tempting the social and meeting 
opportunities may be, they must not be allowed to subsume the primary 
function of the list (Linux, free software and related technologies).  
Unfortunately, mass invites from (may I use the term?) idiots who think 
nothing of giving their whole address book to a social networking site 
are getting more common every day, and we've already been spammed by 
various sites, inviting us to join in and participate in the fun.  
Similarly, no matter how important it may be for the world to condemn 
(say for the sake of argument) the Vadodra riots, the discussion of 
that has no place on this mailing list.  Which is not to say it must 
not be discussed (or social networking sites must be deprecated), just 
use an appropriate vehicle for the discussion.

I have nothing against social networking sites (well, I do, but that's 
neither here nor there), but you would appreciate that there's a 
difference between sending a PERSONAL invite to your friend inviting 
him/her to join the site and a RANDOM invite to thousands of people 
whom you've never met, and many of whom you're likely to never meet 
(because, e.g. they live 7000 KM away from you).  The former is quite 
acceptable; the latter completely unacceptable.

Further, long-term users of the Internet have an ingrained reaction to 
spam (unsolicited bulk mail), and the reaction is usually along the 
lines of: Kill the spammer before s/he can send another mail to my 
inbox.  I personally spend about 1/3 my working day reading and 
responding to e-mail.  If I have to spend even an hour a day handling 
spam, that means I lose 12.5% of my potentially productive time.  Given 
that, are you surprised if I (and people like me) try to ridicule, 
belittle and insult spammers?  Given the choice between getting more 
work done and making more money, and being nice to (or even tolerating) 
spammers, guess which one I'd choose?

Combine the above two, and you would start to get an understanding of 
why the list explodes whenever someone commits the two cardinal sins: 
(a) giving his/her personal details and addressbooks to a commercial 
site and (b) helping a site spam a mailing list.  The first harms the 
user directly and all users of the Internet indirectly.  The second 
harms all of us who use e-mail as a tool for fun as well as business.  
Perhaps the reactions are extreme, but at least they're understandable.  
And the motives that you attribute to people aren't the real motives at 
all.

P.S. Who's Barak Obama, and why should his Internet habits have any 
impact on my world view?

human psyche, I'd say you've done a terrible job
interpreting whats been happening on this list.

Respones inline.

 At one end, you kick out a lurker who wants to reach
 out and contact
 one-to-one with the group-- for sending a single
 off-topic message.

I don't think anyone's kicking out a lurker - there
are hundreds on this list. For a statement to have
been made so forcefully - have you even checked with
the person about why he's quitting?

 
 Personally I want to ask-- if connecting with
 like-minded people through
 social networking sites is so bad, how come Barack
 Obama has a website and a
 myspace page ?

I don't get the reference here. Social networks are
meant for people to connect with each other based on
common interests - something a presidential hopeful
would like to tap on his bid to get elected. But how
does that even compare with a list where discussions
are mostly about solving problems within a community,
related to a particular topic? 

Mailing lists have always had guidelines - some
unwritten, and people are expected to follow them.
Most times, they're enforced by list users rather than
an officious sounding moderator, who then needs to
step in only in the most extreme cases. 

 
 Instead of revelling in such total groupism--
 cursing the darkness- and then
 looking for people to kick out-- you people should
 ask yourself if there's a
 way to be more helpful to people who would otherwise
 be discouraged-- like
 the guy in a US university-- who wanted to take
 classes in Delhi-- but who
 was totally discouraged by the individual who in
 trying to show off his wit
 and intelligence insisted on foisting himself upon
 him.

Wow. Really, I'll have to hand it to you - you come
across thinking you're standing on a pedestal crying
out for common good, but you don't bother to check
facts? Not only do I think you interpreted that email
wrongly - which I believe was sent out in full honesty
- you came out in force *Against* it. Astounding.

 and that too
 a whole group of males ?

Erk, approaching murky waters. Lets not go in there
shall we?

 
 Having seen professionally-- the bad results such
 groupism brings upon
 organizations-- I am sure this group would fare no
 differently.

Have you seen this group professionally then?
Interesting. And what are your conclusions on such
empirical analysis?

 
 Gora ? if you are a 20-something youngster from some
 small town- then stop
 being a frog who even after being released in the
 ocean tries to carry his
 vision of his well with him-- in time you'll realize
 it's not healthy- and
 believe me you, I am professionally qualified to
 judge what constitutes
 mental health and what doesnt.

Haha. As much as Gora would appreciate being mistaken
for a 20 year old, I really don't think making
assumptions and debasing statements about someone
you've obviously never met - is a good idea on a
public list.

 may i recommend:

 a. a temporary suspend of the account with a transparent reason
 worded politely.

 b. three counts of such suspension are followed by a ban.

 c. three counts of a ban.. oh wait!

Thanks for volunteering to write the application that will keep track of 
each user's misdemeanours, his/her suspension period, his/her 
suspension revocation time, count of number of bans/suspensions, etc!

I'm sure the list admin (Kishore) doesn't have time for keeping track of 
all this.
