You wont be able to use winamp on fedora, cos it needs wine/winex and I
don't think fedora ships with either.

There are many players which can play mp3 for you, if your sound card's
correct, that is. Check out noatun, Xine, mplayer, mpg123

RE: [ilugd] Re: Download Accelerator

2004-02-27 Thread Jasmeet S. Virdi
Flashget is able to get u that much speed, cos of the multithreaded download
of the same file (it downloads different parts of the same file and
reassembles them at the client end).
Wget or kget download on a single thread which limits the speed.

People were discussing something similar over the last few threads, try
Prozilla (http://freshmeat.net/projects/prozilla/)

$You can always use wget to manually download a file from

$the parts
$  Hi ,
$  I wasn't aware of the message ID threading i just used to 
$make sure the
$  subject is correct, i will take care of the message ID 
$thing in future.
$  However that does not give you the right to question how

$can explain 
$how
$  threading works without personal digs about something you know and 
$another
$  person doesn't. Besides its not harmful though i can see 
$why it may be 
$a
$  pain in the ass.
$ 
$  That said , the wget program does not all multi part 
$downloads and that 
$is
$  something i would like. I did find a utility called axelq 
$for axel that
$  allows creation of a list file and runs the axel program 
$for each item 
$on
$  the list.

$ 
$ Have you tried wget. GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive
$ download of files from the Web.  It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP
$ protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies. Use 
$wget with

$ scripting and you have your batch download program
$ 
$ !#/bin/bash
$ wget -v http://example.com/file1.txt
$ wget -v ftp://example.com/file2.doc
$ wget -v http://example.com/file2
$ 
$ It is the part of wget package.
$ 
$ More importantly, why did you hijack the gaim/yahoo thread ? I have
$ started a new thread for you. Please use it.
$ 
$ To start a new topic of discussion (commonly called a

$whatever button 
$your

$ address.  This is the only way to actually start a new thread.
$ 
$ Please start a new thread instead of taking an already ongoing one,
$ changing the subject line and posting it again. The 
$subject line is only
$ loosely related to the threading.  Every mail message has a
$ message-id.  When you reply or followup to a message, 
$you client is
$ supposed to put a References header with the message-id of 
$the message
$  you
$ are replying to.
$ 
$ If you use an existing thread, the result is that your question is 
$buried
$ below unrelated questions when looking at the mailing list 
$in a threaded
$ way. This is known as Hijacking threads. It causes 
$information to be

i.e if [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends the mail, qmail sends it to smarthost mail.x.com and

Two things 
1. Before starting the installtion process, verify that the media is

2. After you make the partitions there is an option to check for bad

run that.

RE: [ilugd] unable to export display ??

2003-08-21 Thread Jasmeet S. Virdi
I don't think you'll be able to do this just from telnet. Use X in query
mode as:
On server: 
1. Enable XDMCP (editing /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.conf or gdm.conf, whichever
applicable)
2. restart GDM/XDM/KDM as applicable

One client:
1. stop your own Xwindow, using init 3
2. Log into the console, and type X -query ip of the server.

This would open a X Session to the server and you'll abe to login and
run any X app. Using this method, one gets a whole alternate X Window
session (right from the login screen) and not just one app from the
server, I am not sure how to get that. There are some how to's that may
help.

[ilugd] GPL ?

2003-08-20 Thread Jasmeet S. Virdi
Hi,
   I am not pretty sure I've understood the GPL license, Could some one
clarify some of my doubts :
1. If I create a new software which which is based (has the same code
base with some additions) on a GPL'ed software ( with open source) as a
part of it, so do I need to make my software too GPL'ed / open source ?
Do I have to reveal the source code JUST to the author of the original
software or to the whoel community ? Do I have to give it away for free
?
2. How does the scenario in point one above change if my software has
the GPL'ed software one of the many features my software supports ? (In
this case too the code used is the same as for the GPL'ed software)
3. How does the scenaio in point one above change if only the concept or
the idea is from a GPL'ed software and the implimentation has be coded
from scratch by myself ?

This confusion is cos of a couple of things coming up :
. Tridia recently added a file transfer feature to the tradional VNC
amongst other things and they sell the licence for the pro version.
. Redhat has a load balancing solution that comes with the AS version
which is based on lvs and they charge for it. 

Would someone be able to clarify ..

Some more doubts :)
$ You are only obliged to reveal the source to 
$ the people you give the binaries of your program to -- not 
$ the original author, not any `community'. However, you have 
$ to distribute the source under the GPL itself, so the 
$ recipients are free to disseminate your source more widely if 
$ they choose.

1. Does it talk anywhere about making the binaries/source code available
for FREE ? Can I sell the rework ? (assuming I used GPL'ed code).

2. Redhat says IP Load Balancing (Piranha) is based on Open Source
Linux Virtual Server (LVS) technology, with significant Red Hat
enhancements. Since LVS is open source and licenced under GPL, does it
mean that I can ask Redhat for the source code of piranha if I buy
redhat AS edition and then make it available for free ??

$ Re point 3, I doubt if anyone would sue you for 
$ `look-and-feel' if you made, e.g., a clone of Konqueror :)

[ilugd] Debian CDs ?

Hi all,
Debian has seven ISO files for download ! Does anyone have any
idea as to which ones should be downloaded ? I could figure out this
much CD's 2 through 5 will each boot a different flavor depending on
which CD-ROM is inserted.

CD 1 Allows a selection of kernel images to boot from (the idepci flavor
is the default if no selection is made). CD 2 Boots the 'vanilla'
flavor. CD 3 Boots the 'compact' flavor. CD 4 Boots the 'idepci' flavor.
CD 5 Boots the 'bf2.4' flavor.

Q) Any ideas on what CD 6 - 7 - 8 contain ?
Q) Does anyone have Debian 3.0r1 ?

Subject: [ilugd] [Long] It works


-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

So Supreet and I have been slogging our collective a** off working at a
client's location (no names just yet), trying to migrate his 5000 users
to Samba from a Winduhs file server.

Some experiences...

Client has 8 locations, including numerous factories, spread over the
country.  Were using NT for domain control as well as file and print
services (FPS).  MS got into the act, convinced them about the joys of
Winduhs 2003 and got their domain controllers (DCs) upgraded to W2K3. In
the meantime we'd already done most of the work to switch the FPS from
NT to Linux.

At the last minute (nearly) client comes to us and asks, ``Can you work
with a W2K3 domain controller?''.  Being the blithe spirits that we are,
we searched the web, found some pointers that seemed to vaguely indicate
the possibility of a chance of there being some items that could portend
the peaceful co-existence of Samba and W2K3, and gave him the reply in
one word, `Yes!'.

Problem with W2K3 is that it only supports active directory (AD) and
none of the older methods of authentication (whatever they are -- /me is
no Winduhs expert).  So we need a Samba that is AD aware.  Lo and
behold, Samba 3.0.0 (currently in final Beta) is AD aware, and
Google-ification yields a few HOWTOs on how to get the two working
together.

OK, problem (1) solved.  As long as /someone/ has got it working, we
should be able to too, right?  I mean, what're mailing lists, IRC
channels, friends and AK-47s for if not to get you assistance with
making Samba work with AD?  Download, compile, test, scream, tear out
hair, kill w2k3 admin because he can't properly set the one goddam
registry entry that we need, find another w2k3 admin, recompile, retest,
etc... you know the routine.  Finally, it sort of works.

Except... see, Samba has this means of automatically adding new users
when they're defined on the DC but not in Linux.  So we use that
facility (with some 'l33t shell scripting by yours truly), but there's
some conflict in the group names and permissions and whatnot, and life
sucks until Supreet comes up with this weird idea: don't have Unix users
at all!  I look at him in dismay, thinking, ``He's really lost it this
time'' and am about to suggest a long vacation, away from computers when
he explains: let the password routines use Winbind to get the users.
Sounds like utter cr*p to me, but we're desperate so I mangle the
appropriate files, and do a

  getent passwd

... and Voila! here's the list of all the users on the AD server!  The
rest of the office is eyeing us with concern (this is at the client's
office) as we go into high-fives, middle-fives, low-fives, jaffi-pa's,
bhangra, balle-balles and general rejoicing.  The rest of the
configuration looks like a breeze...

...Until...

Wait, the client also has complex access rules for his data!  See, the
``folder'' Marketing belongs to the marketing group and everyone in that
group has read and write access to it, only, see, the Director Projects
needs to view the files in /this/ sub-folder, and the Director Finance
must be able to modify the files in /this/ sub-folder and /this/
sub-folder, and... you get the idea.

Linux doesn't have fine-grained filesystem access control yet (well, the
new betas do, but none of the ``stable'' releases).  Scratch heads
(scratch patka in Supreet's case), fgrep -ir acl
/usr/src/linux/Documentation with no result, try to shrug off gloom and
despondency.  Finally decide to bite the bullet, put our noses to the
grindstone, our back to the wheel and our ear to the ground and go in
for SGI's XFS.  XFS is a hotsex filesystem which is going to be part of
Linux 2.6, but is not available for the 2.4 series except as a patch.
Rather than patch, we decide to get SGI's complete Linux kernel CVS tree
for kernel 2.4.21.

A few hours (170MB downloaded) and a couple of kernel compiles later
we're ready to test ACLs on Linux.  Bah, what testing?  It's Linux, and
it works as advertised.  Plug ACLs into Samba, and we're ready to start
testing the setup.

I won't go into the details of the testing phase.  Suffice it to say
that it was bloody, gory and rigorous.  And that it passed off without
incident.

Saturday (19th) night we brought the new system online.  Restored from
tape wherever possible -- if you restore a backup from an NT machine
onto a Samba share you get the complete user, group and access control
lists on each file and directory.  Unfortunately some of the tapes (only
worth about 10 gig of data) refuse to restore, so we have to copy those
files manually from the old NT server.  Next 2 hours is spent with the
client's IT bossman, 

RE: [ilugd] OS Sequence

2003-07-21 Thread Jasmeet S. Virdi
Yes that surely works. What I was worried about was using Win2K and
WinXP on the same box, but some RnD shows that they too can coexist. The
order that you mentioned is correct. But you need to be sure of one
thing, WinNT, win2K and win XP need to be on *different* partitions.
This is because they all have a common set of system files and if put on
the same paritition may wipe out the other. Go ahead try it out.

I think you'd need to flush your mbr. There are many ways to do this. I
assume you donot have any data on your disk.
1. use DOS formatted bootable floppy, or a win98 startup disk. Copy
fdisk.exe on this diskette. Boot through this floppy and type fdisk
/mbr. This should do the work.
2. use seagate Disk Manager to partition the disk again. This is faster
and effective.

Get back in case these don't work.

RE: [ilugd] edit oldconfig for kernel compilation

2003-07-16 Thread Jasmeet S. Virdi
Hi,
   This practice might help you. In the /boot, there is almost always a
config file which was used to build the currently running kernel (should
be named, configxxx). Copy this file to the /usr/local/linux folder.
Then use make old config, it would prompt you for the new things that
are there in the new kernel. Also, you can use make xconfig or make
menuconfig and load this file. What this ensures is that you have the
settings and modules that are already present according to the present
kernel that you are using and add only the new ones for the new kernel.

did 
it work properly. So, I need your help.

Could it be like first I run `make oldconfig' and then `make xconfig' or

`make menuconfig'?

I'm running RHL 7.2 (tux should run but somehow it is not running).

Thanks.

[ilugd] How to know whether the file has been copied fully ?

2003-07-10 Thread Jasmeet S. Virdi
Hi,
   I have an vsftpd server running on RH9 system. The behaviour is to
copy the files to a new location when the upload has completed for just
one particular user. I have a simple cron job with mv command that runs
every minute to check for new files and moves them to the new location.
The problem that I am facing is that the files have not been ftp'ed
completely when the cron job runs and hence moves only partial files.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to figure out whether the complete
file has been ftp'ed and then only move it to the new location. Or is
there an FTP server that can run a script when the upload completes ?

Thanks

ok i'll put my side of calculations, maybe they are wrong... but lets c.

(firstly, B=Bytes, b=bits)

these are 10Mbit cards.. 

=10 Mb/sec 
=(10/8) MB/sec  (byte = 8 bits..)
=1.2x MBytes/sec 

which i think should then be the upper limit on a 10Mbps card...right?

therefore a 1000KB/s transfer rates are about 83%. they are not
fantastic agreed, but they arent that bad.

but then how do you get 3/4 MBps?? or are you talking about 3/4 Mbps? 

if its 4 Mbits/sec i think the capacity utilization is darn low... 
if its 4 MBytes/sec... you've just set the world record.

either way, you have lots of work to do (maybe set a patent for the
combination of cards used ;-)

just kidding, but well please anyone get me correct if i bundled up
majorly somewhere..

 yikes!! thats a *lo[t|g]* of questions
 i'll try to comment on a few...
 
 1. i think the celeron would be too slow to be able to extract the 
 performance (although i have *no* idea about the add-on card 
 performance).
 
 2. i dont presume ram should affect, if the system only does raid. 
 although ofcourse ram gives better performance (but thats more of an 
 obvious point. more ram ofcourse means better caching/performance 
 etc..)
 
 3. 100M cards.. hmm.. i think that equates to a ~10Mbyte/s (per
 interface) are you sure thats the performance you are aiming at? i 
 mean, i agree burst speeds are relatively better, but for an average 
 speed, i think this would be a bottleneck.
 
 4. although i am unclear as to what is the effective purpose (dataset 
 calculations ok, but basically is it scattered data, or backup sort of

 sequential data?) frankly, if heat is a trouble ( a single 40Gb 7200 
 rpm is giving me worries at home!) i think you could easily go for a 
 4800rpm (adding to which is cost savings). if ofcourse you are looking

 at scattered data, 7200 is the way to go.
 
 5. i have found good data rates of about 1000kb/s on 10Mbps (compex 
 etc) cards when transferring from linux-linux systems. (ofcourse 
 win-linux are generally lower [win9x-linux are far lower than 
 win2k-linux]), so i believe the low cost ones arent that bad for 
 normal use. unless ofcourse you have a chance of data corruption (bad 
 wiring, lot of disturbance
 etc...)
 
 6. i used ext3 mainly because i didnt want to take a chance, and 
 frankly i hadnt worked on anything else as yet (then). but i have 
 heard good reviews (and dangerous warnings) about jfs and reiser...  
 but i have no idea.. (sorry just adding up my experience..!)

[ilugd] What does squid cache

2003-06-25 Thread Jasmeet S. Virdi
Hi,
Was just setting up a squid box and trying to figure out how it
works. I am using it as a reverse proxy to sit on front of the web
servers. Now my site has URLs which have a lot of gifs and pdfs but the
users need to be authenticated to access this. If I use squid as reverse
proxy, does it store the pdfs as just the absolute file names or the
whole URL (the URL contains the authentication) ? In case it stores the
absolute file name, then a person directly referring to the URL can get
the file without auth, cos the squid would have the cached. Is my
understanding correct, can some one validate this ?

thanx

Thanx mate .. Yup that was something that was worrying me .. Cos my
webserver does the auth !!! i.e. a person can get the content without
getting auth, directly from the squid !!! Is there any way, like a auth
setting or some network design.. In which I can use squid as a reverse
proxy but still get away with this non auth thingie.. Ne ideas ??

Are you authenticating using the webserver or is it squid that is doing 
the proxy auth.  'cos if its squid doing the proxy auth then you dont
need 
to bother about what ie caches, it is in any case going to authenticate 
the guy.  But if the auth is done by the webserver then you might just 
have somthing to worry about.

the reason is that linux has better memory caching than windows. When u
start the same app again on linux it would load up from the cache and
take less time to load. This is not the case with windows.
