Re: [ilugd] ICICI Netbanking and Firefox 2.0 (or where to get Firefox 1.5)

Re: [ilugd] Directory repated / mirrored / copied problems Head Scracth Continues
Gora Mohanty wrote: Don't know then. If your description is accurate, this makes little sense. Spaces in a directory/file name are quite valid, and I do not know why renaming it would change things. One thing that you should probably do right away is unmount the directory (if it is mounted somewhere other than below /), and run fsck on the partition. If the directory is just a sub-directory on /, use a live CD or distro CD in rescue mode, and run fsck on /. File-system corruption could conceivably be a source of this problem, though I do not see how it would lead to the symptoms that you describe. Regards, Gora Hi Well after thinking that the problem was solved and needing to run fsck I cam across the same probblem. 1. The offending folders (now up from one to 2) were sourced from a USB Disk - 256 MB Capacity. When we load the disk and try and check its size in properties the size continues running upto 2.3 gb and then it slowly creeps up. I tried to delete it from the USB Disk it said permission denied , I chmod 777 'ed the entre disk and was operating from sudo - and then tried to delete it it simply refused. So I have isolated the USB Disk (keeping it safely in my inner pocket) but there are residual problems. That similar files exists in the backups I had taken earlier.

I took me no time to upload my data and also it asked for no password etc. *** So assuming this site was designed only for I.E could there have been a way I could have transferred these files using a linux based machine and browser.

[ilugd] Other-Legal Question regarding download of files
Hi I was curious about the legal aspect of the following situation. Suppose the website of X organization has a section for downloads and a download is available of a files of documents and publications which have also been printed and published and is being sold as well. And that this download section has no restrictions, any one can find it and make a download (no passwords , no registering etc). And Person *C* after downloading the file makes it available on another website. Then what are the legal implications Can the original website owner prevent such a move. Further if *X's* site does not have any legal disclaimers saying anything about downloads etc what effect would it have. The printed out documents may themselves be Copyrighted under various laws etc but if people have access to a scan of the same and do not share the print out or display it in supposed gross voilation of piracy of printed material then what are the implications. And what happens when the original site withdraws the download and it continues to be available at other non official location. And finally what happens if someone from outside the source country places such files as a download , what laws are applicable. thanks ram ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] Making an Interactive CD
Hi Am reposting this mail , because am not sure if it reached the list the first time (as there were no responses) Was trying to figure out what all it takes to make an interactive CD. Was Using Open Office writer / web to save pages as HTML and was creating hyperlinks to a set of folders, images and other HTML pages. So are there any guides to designing a simple interactive cd with the following requistes 1. HTML based index pages 2. Images and links to bigger images 3. Links to Documents as PDF files (so how will the pdf files open) and how to make sure that all these links work on the final cd So what would be the simple tools and techniques that would help make / design CD's. Is there a better software than OOo , but as simple. Some of the problems I have faced till now are 1. Was trying to make a hyperlink to a pdf file in an HTMl file. When I am editing the html file in open office and try and open the link to the pdf file I get the following error message. No Corresponding External Application could be found for the given file type. Please Check the Open Office.org settings But when I open the same link using a browser the link offers to open or save. 2. After making hyperlinks I am unable to edit them 3. Some of the images I used in the HTML files are Jpeg and png , however when I copy the whole set of files to another location the png images remain but the jpeg images show up as just a small nothing icon. So should I use only png's Any solutions to this.

[ilugd] Making an Interactive CD
Hi Was trying to figure out what all it takes to make an interactive CD. Was Using Open Office writer / web to save pages as HTML and was creating hyperlinks to a set of folders, images and other HTML pages. So are there any guides to designing a simple interactive cd with the following requistes 1. HTML based index pages 2. Images and links to bigger images 3. Links to Documents as PDF files (so how will the pdf files open) and how to make sure that all these links work on the final cd So what would be the simple tools and techniques that would help make / design CD's. Is there a better software than OOo , but as simple. Some of the problems I have faced till now are 1. Was trying to make a hyperlink to a pdf file in an HTMl file. When I am editing the html file in open office and try and open the link to the pdf file I get the following error message. No Corresponding External Application could be found for the given file type. Please Check the Open Office.org settings But when I open the same link using a browser the link offers to open or save. 2. After making hyperlinks I am unable to edit them 3. Some of the images I used in the HTML files are Jpeg and png , however when I copy the whole set of files to another location the png images remain but the jpeg images show up as just a small nothing icon. So should I use only png's Any solutions to this. Will appreciate any pointers and advice thanks ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] hello
quite a lot of shu sha about shusha I have been typing in hindi for about 6 years - first CDAC leap and then ileap - using english keyboards mapped to inscript hindi key layouts. It took about a week to keymap them to the brain. we could sent documents to people who had the same fonts on their system , or as pdf 's or send them the fonts as well, But CDAC leap / ileap was a pain in many different ways this leap / ileap had phonetic capabilities and they were quite sad to say the least. Then, we began using Kruti Dev font that worked on M$office . OOowriter etc , using a hindi typewriter keyboard - this again took a week to map to brain - the new keyboard layout *using* the same english keyboard there was the option of stickers but it was far easier to have a print of the keyboard lying around to refer to as and when required. Again everytime we sent documents electronically it was with the font and the keyboard layout. Now we are using Ubuntu, which has hindi and many other indian languages as default and we recently figured that the default hindi fonts use the inscript keyboard - so maybe again we will have to relearn the new keyboard but this time its hopefully going to be more stable, because everyone - will use the same underlying system - what keyboard (layout) they use isupto them - *as I have been educated recently on this list* but the beauty is now we can have the same hindi that appears at login , the same when we use an editor in hindi mode etc and even more beautiful is if you are unicode ready then बडा अच्छा राम ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

We will consider any project or team that uses free software or its philosophy to address a goal important to society. To qualify, a project must use free software, produce free documentation, or use the idea of free software as defined in the Free Software Definition http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html. Work done commercially is eligible, but we will give this award to the project or team who best utilizes resources for society's greater benefit.

[ilugd] Accessing a Wincedows 98 Machine
Hi This is actually a follow up to an earlier mail regarding the HP 1005 that does not work (as yet) on ubuntu (linux). AS it works with Wincddows 98 , we were wondering , if there was a way of accessing it over the lan net. But, the problem: The network server is an Ubuntu box. And we have not been able to access the Wincedows 98 machine, the server is setup as DHCP ?? So what do we need to do to be able to access this wincedows machine. Funnily , while it is on the same network, through which our internet is also routed it can ping the various network ips and also access the internet, but no where does it show up on the Ubuntu network. will be grateful for any advice regards ram ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

I'm afraid I'm finding your argument a bit difficult to follow, and I'm not even quite sure whether you're being sarcastic or not. Nevertheless: with rights there are responsibilities or duties. We're talking about rights assigned under copyright law in a license. If those rights come with responsibilities or duties, then the license MUST say so explicitly. If it does not, then those duties or responsibilities have no more legal standing than figments of someone's imagination. You can't assign rights in a license, expect people to accept them, then suddenly unveil new requirements after the fact. That makes a mockery of contract and copyright law. And you're missing the point in this earlier message: Because it would be nice to think we are not talking only licenses and legalities. We are talking about freedom. A free software license is a tool that seeks to protect freedom while promoting widespread sharing. Its strength lies in its foundation in copyright law. Without that foundation, there would be nothing that could protect your freedom. In short: there is nothing only about licenses and the law. They are *fundamental* to the idea of Free software, and they (and the details thereof) cannot be ignored or handwaved away. *copyleft (very simply stated) is the rule that when redistributing the program, you cannot add restrictions to deny other people the central freedoms.* http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html Fine. By not participating in creating that enabling environment is actually turning a blind eye to the issue of access to choice , access to free software and in this context freedom. Yes. And by turning a blind eye to those issues, they do not affect *your* freedom in any way. Therefore they are not violating the terms of the license that gives them the freedom to use copylefted software. Actually they do - turning a blind eye and doing nothing does affect others. I will not explain - but its called complicity of silence (or something like that). But a crude example - if I come across an excellant piece of software - say Firefox and love using it but do not pass it around and do not make the effort to pass it around , then I am turning a blind eye and not enabling others to make the same choice, nor am I strenghtening the Free Software initiative, Infact my silence is allowing IE or MS$ a bit of a better chance - even if its just one more person. Even One person. If they believe in the idea behind Free software, then they might want to participate to a greater degree. But that is entirely their choice, and if they believe or choose otherwise, *you* are not affected. Again, people are affected , for the same reason, when a group keeps silent about anything, when they are not proactive it does affect some one , some where. That they do no participate and cannot be held responsible for not participating is another issue and of course they are not legally liable. Of course, if you can convince them that it is a good idea for them to participate more, and do more to promote freedom, that would be a good thing. But that isn't a question of obligations. The community's role is partly to create an environment, as you say, that helps people to understand and appreciate the issues; but that isn't the function of the license per se. The two complement each other. The enabling environment takes effort and that effort is often difficult. Individuals in the community have to overcome that negative feedback and still plug away. There is no short cut (The license can't beat users over the head with the community, and the community can't beat users over the head with the license. :) Maybe we can ask for some license fencing competition :) at the next community meeting.

If there are such strings, put them in the damn licence, otherwise nobody has the right to interpret the licence or its spirit, whether they are Free or closed source software Thanks , I will remember that the various open source / free software licenses (GPL ASF etc) does not say anything about *any community* hence there are no expectations from the community or its members hence no *duties*. And won't interpret more than what the license of any free / libre software gives / allows.
