What could the problem be? Are you able to login when you connect your laptop directly to the DSL modem using ethernet? No. On telnet also the connection is closed immediately. Also, is the Wi-Fi access point acting as a NATted router? why are you on a different network (192.168.0.x) than your DSL modem (192.168.1.x)? Double NATting is not recommended under most cases. You could disable DHCP from the Wi-FI AP (or router) and connect the LAN part of the DSL modem to the LAN part of the Wi-Fi AP (or Router). This way, the AP will act as a bridge and just forward all DHCP requests to the DSL modem. I just connected my modem's ethernet cable into the WAN port of my Wireless Modem. I thought that was how it was supposed to be done. Anyway on doing as you suggested(connecting my modem into the LAN port and disabling DHCP on Wirless modem, I am still unable to connect to the admin interface.

you could use the following script

sort -n | tail -1;
invoke this using

Actually even though I said bash, I am running this on busybox which

inspiration from your solution to come up with -
find -type d | awk -F'/' '{print NF-1 \n}' | sort -n | tail -1
This wont well with absolute directory names.
for e.g. if you use
find /home/username -type d | awk -F'/' '{print NF-1 \n}' | sort -n |
tail -1
then it will add 2 (corresponding to /home/username) to the max dpeth. This
is because the paths returned from the find command are of the sort
/home/username/dird1 (depth as per awk expression 3. Actual depth relative
to base path 1)
/home/username/dir1/dird2 (depth as per awk expression 4 Actual depth
relative to base path 2)
You should use something like following if you dont have printf
find /home/user -type d | sed 's/^\/home\/user//g' | awk -F'/' '{print NF-1

essentially remove out the base search path from the find result strings.
Which works just as well :)

[ilugd] Mylyn for bash
Hi, I use an eclipse plugin called Mylyn [1]. Mylyn allows me to group my work into tasks (integrates with things like Bugzilla, trac etc.)[2]. The best thing that Mylyn provides is that it creates separate contexts for each of these tasks. The context influences what I see in a particular eclipse view. So for example, in the file explorer view in eclipse, I only see files that I have changed while working in this context. Additionally it also influences the auto suggest options. The context feature works great when you have to frequenly switch between tasks. It allows you to get back into the mode for solving a particular task. I was wondering if something similar for the shell would be useful. It could for example alter the history to only have the commands that you used in the context of working on a paritcular task. It could maybe even set up env accordingly.

[ilugd] PGP and mailing lists
Hi, I recently installed on pgp4win on my windows machine to encyrpt and decrypt my emails. Since Im new to this stuff I have a couple of questions: 1) Why dont services like Gmail understand PGP encrypted messages and decrypt them? Has this got something to do with export regulations on encyrption software? 2) If i send a PGP encrypted message to the mailing list with my public key in the -BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK- -END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK- blocks is it ok? Will a user using gmail/yahoomail be able to read my messages? If yes then how does it happen? Does the mailing list server do the decryption? If yes, does that mean I receive clear text mails even though someone wanted to send an encrypted message?

[ilugd] [OT] Unlearning programming languages
Hi, I have been a java programmer for almost 2 years now and java is the only language I have gone into the depths of. But out of general interest and curiosity I want to learn other languages. I have started to dabble in a bit of php and python. The problem I have - I keep asking the question how is this done in PHP/Python. So I keep looking for a Java like solution to all the problems. I believe this prevents me from learning a language in all its splendor. An example of this is when I started learning PHP, i looked for Data base drivers and making connections, but as it turned out it wasnt like java jdbc and the lot. mysql was more explicitly integrated into php. Similarly I have a problem that I want to sort a list of objects in php, and what do I start doing, I start looking for hashCode and equals like methods.

Please forward my mail to ILUGD if I manage to convince you on this. :) I would prefer that you do. Is the Tomcat/Jboss java stack being looked at only because of the JBPM workflow tool below? By going in for a Java based stack has multiple effects, technical as well as business wise: 1. Your hardware requirements increase dramatically. Doesnt this depend mainly on the user base and similar things? It is quite well accepted that an average Java application requires more expensive hardware spec than a LAMP solution. Would really be glad if someone could give any actual figures/test results. 3. The business aspect - how easy is it to get Java talent from the market place and retain them as compared to LAMP? Whatever application you spend your valuable money on, will lock you into the platform that you choose. You can port between Unix OS, but you can't between languages later without significant investments. Are you willing in going that path? This is the question I mainly wanted further discussion on. Java talent. Is it easy to get? Yes.big time..there are a lot more Java programmers I would believe than PHP/Perl/Python programmers in India. Retaining them?Could you please elaborate your reasons on why you think thats difficult/doesnt happen? I think the availability difference between Java programmers and PHP programmers have decreased over the years. Yeah, but its still huge I would think. Mainly because Java has a wider range of uses and applicability than say PHP. Hence you would find more people who know Java, then teaching them J2ME or J2EE or whatever aint that tough. So the Java pool will always be bigger. I would think thats a positive thing. My previous experience with organizations having Java programmers has been that there is a high attrition rate. My personal belief is that organizations consuming Java applications are generally willing to throw their money around :) and are quite lucrative as a result. As a consequence, service providers supplying them have more money to recruit people. Also a good market for such programmers exist abroad. All these contribute to a better employee's market in Java than LAMP :). The flip side is that Java code based service providers are more vulnerable to market conditions and therefore riskier employers. Java programmer are the most readily available commodity. How can it be tough to recruit them? To begin with, they are more expensive to recruit, and salaries (that I last saw) lie somewhere between (and beyond) their inherent capabilities and the market rate, if you know what I mean. :) In short, it is more diffcult for smaller companies and government organizations to compete with the market for them.

I gave a very good business context why they might be paid less. But I also mentioned that the gap between their availability and Java programmers is decreasing. Why do you thing that is happening? That is because more and more organizations are catching on to the cost-effectiveness of LAMP solutions - the quick turn around that it can give them, the shorter learning curve for people wanting to enter the field, the ease in which a LAMP solution can be maintained as compared to a Java one, etc. Shorter learning curve argument doesnt hold, I dont see why for an average person it would be easier to learn PHP instead JSP/Servlets. or why it would be difficult to set up tomcat over apache with mod php. Also with regards to salary, yes, LAMP programmers might be under-paid as compared to Java ones. People will have find exceptions to what I am saying here, but this has been true for many small to medium scale Java applications that I have seen: They are over-engineered. This I whole heartedly agree with, Java applications at time are over engineered. If a small database app can be made in 2-3 scripts running on a low end server in LAMP, it will require a more powerful computer, a longer development cycle, more expensive developers and a more complex app (Tomcat/Jboss/etc) if it is done in web based Java applications. If you look at it, that in no way is java's fault. If all you want is a 10 page website, you are free to use only JSPs, no framework nothing. Java doesnt prevent you from keeping it simple. Its just that there are too many people flashin names of *framework to do this/that. This stays true for quite a few applications if you go higher up in the app complexity scale. Given this context, it is probably more apt to say that Java programmers are over paid for the value they create as compared to LAMP programmers, and the market would soon take care of this anomaly (and it already is). Please take all my opinions with a grain of salt though, as my last experience with Java apps (though intensive) was quite a few years ago. Cant help but take with a pinch of salt am a java programmer myself :-) . - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya http://blog.sandipb.net ___ 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/ -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ Latest Post: javac -g ___ 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/

W3C[1] does web standards.
Puneet The simplest case, take the XMLHttpRquest object in
Puneet javascript. There isnt a standard way of obtaining
Puneet it.
W3C has a working draft on XMLHttpRequest[2].
[1] - http://www.w3.org/
[2] - http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-XMLHttpRequest-20070618/
HTH
The thing in browser world is, the innovation comes from the browser
companies which is then replicated in other browsers in different ways.
Hence a lot of code gets written(habits get built), before the standard
document comes around. So the average web developer always has to write
something like this for completeness.
if(firefox) {
//do firefoxy way
}else if(IE6) {
//do IE6 way
}
..and so on
You can say M$ flouts standards but it does do good stuff also like the
XMLHttpRequest object itself. Moreover even if IE isnt standards compliant,
it is the browser of 90% of your visitors. So ignoring it for standards isnt
an option any web dev has.
These references are good, but as long as the compliance isnt consistent, ul
see code like above, and a hall of shame.

[ilugd] Problem setting up port forwarding/virtual servers on airtel broadband router
Hi, I have an airtel broadband connection. My modem is airtel 220bx ethernet modem. This modem is connected to Dlink wirless router di524. My laptop(wirless) and my desktop(ethernet) are connected to this router. Now I want to be able to access an application running on my laptop listening on port (say 3180) using my public ip address. I have setup virtual servers on my wirless router to forward port 3180 to my laptop ip address (192.168.0.119). On my DSL router I have setup virtual server to forward port 3180 to the wirless router ip (192.168.1.2). I can verify that my wirless router is doing things right as if i access http://192.168.1.1:3180/ from my browser my application receives a request. But the problem is if i use my public ip to access the application it doesnt work. i.e. if i access http://122.122.122.163:3180/ I get a connection could not be established error. From my DSL router system log I can see the following 2 entries when I setup the virtual server iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp_1_32_1 -p tcp --dport 3180 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.2 iptables -I FORWARD 1 -i ppp_1_32_1 -p tcp -d 192.168.1.2 --dport 3180 -j ACCEPT I dont really know where am I going wrong.

Re: [ilugd] Problem setting up port forwarding/virtual servers on airtel broadband router
Hi Just curious. Do you have a particular reason to use double NAT? For example, if you enable DHCP in the DSL router(if you are using dhcp for office machines), connect it to the LAN port(not the uplink port) of the wireless router, and disable DHCP on the wireless router ... you would only have a single private network in the office. Managing a single level of NAT on the external router is going to be simpler if you are going to rely on it a lot. No real reason. Just that the internet access was setup that way so i was working on that only. Will give this a try. Any tradeoffs for using the dhcp server on the dsl router vs dhcp on the wireless router? Although I would still like to figure out why the existing setup isnt working.

[ilugd] Bash Script: Parse a command output value into an array
Hi,
I am trying to parse a set of space separated values from a file into an
array in a bash script. Thing is my individual values can also have spaces
between them hence each value is enclosed in double quotes. But the problem
is i am unable to parse them properly into an array.
After a bit of effort my problem boils down to the difference between
following 2 scenarios.
$ TESTARR=(abc def ghi)
$ echo ${TESTARR[0]}
$ echo ${TESTARR[1]}
This correctly prints:
abc def
ghi
However
$ TESTARR=(`echo \abc def\ ghi`)
$ echo ${TESTARR[0]}
$ echo ${TESTARR[1]}
This incorrectly prints:
abc
def
I guess i am missing something very basic. I would be glad if you could
suggest the correct way/way out.

What you want is probably
eval TESTARR=(`echo \abc def\ ghi`)
Thanks this works. But how exactly does it work? I mean how does eval change
whats assigned to TESTARR?
I would also suggest moving to a better scripting
language like Python or Perl.
Have been thinking of the same thing and trying to push the idea upstairs.
Lets see when I get to type python on the AIX machine that I do this
scripting on. :)

[ilugd] ps and grep
Hi, I have to frequently find the process ids of particular processes using a combination of ps and grep. For e.g. ps -elo pid,args|grep myprocess But the problem with above is that it gives me a line for the grep process also. e.g 213456 /home/puneet/myprocess 219876 grep myprocess The way I got around this was by using a further pipe ps -elo pid,args|grep myprocess|grep -v grep But I was wondering if there was a way for me to specify this in the regular expression for the first grep itself. I tried ps -elo pid,args|grep myprocess\\!(grep) But this does not give any output. I escaped the ! as without the escape it is considered by the shell as history lookup and it gives me no event found. -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ Latest Post: Tutorial on SVN setup and usage ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] Firefox Strange behavior
Many a times, this is because the script doesn't send the right content-type to the browser. Some browsers might default to HTML in this case. Some, like Firefox perhaps, try to be more closer to the standard and try to download the content instead. Dont think my problem is something wrong from the server end as I was observing this behavior on all sites. if its some extension doing weird stuff then I would surely like to know how thats done.

Since Gutsy came with a lot more compiz support, I suggested he upgrade to it. But after the upgrade the newer kernel refused to boot, and while booting with the older kernel went smoothly, it wouldnt login to the system normally, i.e. all i could log into was failsafe terminal, no gnome. Logging into gnome brought up the black screen with bootup messages and then back to login screen. Turned out the compiz-core and compiz-plugins packages were the problem, removed them, and then everything worked. But still, this is too much of unstability.

[ilugd] [OT] Firefox Already Running Problem
Hi, I get this problem when running firefox on windows. I have firefox already open with some sites, now I have an eclipse type help system documentation on my system which gets started when I execute a batch file, it selects a port and starts a small webserver and then tries to open the page. Since firefox is my default browser it tries to execute a command like firefox.exe http://127.0.0.1:58743/help/index.jsp This results in an error Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new Window, you must close existing firefox process, or restart your system. Is there any way to get around this? Like opening this new page as a new Tab or something. -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

It was the environment vairable problem. I had set the environment variable
MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 using what was mentioned in wikipedia and had then
restarted the machine.
i.e. i did some thing like this
$MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 firefox
so after restarting this env variable must have gone away.
Thanks all you guys for your support, I did set the MOZ_DISBALE_PANGO=0 also
before retrrying just to be sure.

[ilugd] Why different newline characters?^M Character
Hi, I have been copying text files between Windows XP and Unix (AIX) Systems over the last few days at office and i find ^M characters at the end of each line. I figured after googling that this was due to the fact that windows and unix use different characters for new line. Now I had to replace these chars in Unix. I found the way to do it using vi, but couldnt find a way to like do for a number of files all at once. Any solutions?? The way to do it using vi was with the following command in vi. :%sCtrl-V Ctrl-M//g Why is it that the two OSes use different new line characters. And is there a way for me to prevent it at the source end i.e. at Windows level only. I use notepad in windows. Since i access the unix system through ssh, so vi is probably the only option I have, cant use gedit or something. -- Puneet -- Puneet ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

But somehow it just feels like its changed for changing. And im trying to reduce my dependance on WIndows and related software. havent taken that pirated office CD from my friend.

[ilugd] [OT]Wireless Router
Hi, I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop. I have an existing Airtel DSL Connection at home.I want to share this internet connection with my laptop through a wireless router. My DSL modem is connected to my desktop via Ethernet. I have never bought a wireless router so dont know what to look for and what to watch out for. I would be really thankful if any of you could provide me with some helpful hints. Another question that I have is how do i go about installing Ubuntu on this laptop. Should i format the drive,install ubuntu and then install the Vista Home Preimium that comes along with it. The pre paritioned configuration has a recovery partition also.Whats that bit for, and does it need to be recreated for Vista to run?? -- Puneet ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] Seeking Advice over OpenSource RCS
We need a Web Interface to CVSNT, where -people can browse the CVS repository tree, in browser (XHTML/CSS/Javascript), and also committers who have the access (usernme/password) can commit their work through the browser. The question arises, why not to give access the repository using cvs clients. Since we are going to make the cvsnt repository access available to public, we have to setup the webserver and services to another computer which will access the local folder where remote cvs repository will be mounted using samba. You could give web access for repository browsing. With regards to commits I still dont get why u cant allow clients. Now, We did some search over the existing solution, but we cannt find any cvs to web package which will allow files and folder's commit available through the web-browser. So now, people here are along with many sub-projects to achieve this. So now these are the challenges which we are trying to find: With regards to svn, have been using for about 4-5 months and havent encountered too many problems with it: 1. Migration from one OS to other isnt too much of a problem if u use proper file system for ur repository. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch05s03.html#svn-ch-5-sect-3.5 2. Repository browsing web interfaces are easily available and are easy to deploy with ur repo: http://www.viewvc.org/ - Seems like the most popular one. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/apds05.html - Other tools If u use eclipse for java development, then another point in favor of svn is the eclipse plugin for svn is quite mature and featureful. See http://subclipse.tigris.org/ Also the following is a view on SVN migration from cvs, security n all. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/svn.htmlhttp://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/svn.html - What are the complexity in migrating cvsnt repository on windows server 2003 to cvs (linux). - What are the complexity in migrating CVSNT repository on WINDOWS 2003 server to svn wndows/linux. - Which Revision control system would be the best in this condition if we want to migrate, CVS (linux/windows), SVN, Bazaar (BZR) or any other. - Can cvsnt be extended by any method, existing or any idea which can be worked on (like creating an interface to do so if possible). - Can cvs be extended to such, on Linux? any workarounds - Does svn or bzr have such things. extend what? etc. Goal to achieve: - Web Interface which can let user authenticate, and then browse the cvs tree, and user can download the modules. - Committing modules (edited or new) to cvs repo. - uploading multiple files (optionally by taking input the directory path in browser file upload text input box, which would upload all the files in directory. Please show us some light. If development is needed in such direction, we can do it provided the idea to achieve seems good one. All members in group are PHP, Perl, Java programmers, so we cannt work on C++ (limitation). I am desperately looking forward for you people's suggestion, and better ideas.

Re: [ilugd] How does Microsoft armtwist its own partners?
Microsoft plans to broaden its attack on Linux and related operating systems this week by giving away a set of tools for migrating applications to Windows. The company is expected to release on Thursday a new version of Services for Unix (SFU), a collection of tools that help Windows systems to work with installations based on the Unix operating system and its open-source derivative, Linux. Microsoft previously charged $99 per client or server to use SFU. But the new version, 3.5, will be free for any customer using a current Windows operating system. SFU packages an array of tools designed to accomplish two main tasks: that of allowing Unix and Windows systems to work together by using common file systems, directories and other resources; and that of helping information technology workers to migrate applications from Unix to Windows. regards, Puneet - Original Message - From: Puneet [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 12:03 PM Subject: Re: [ilugd] How does Microsoft armtwist its own partners? Microsoft Monday launched a new advertising campaign designed to extend its fact based assault on the Linux operating system. The campaign consists of a two-page advertisement, which was featured in six computer industry trade publications this week, that cites a 2002 IDC study that found that Windows 2000 costs organizations less to operate for a variety of server tasks including networking, security, and file and print serving. Reams have been written about Windows and Linux, the ad reads, Let's skip to the bottom line. On the next page, the advertisement directs readers to a page on Microsoft's Web site which contains a number of case studies and analyst reports that tout the benefits of the Windows operating system. The campaign is expected to run for six months, although Microsoft has not yet decided on an end date, according to a company spokeswoman Though Microsoft declined to say what it was spending on advertising, the simple print advertisement is markedly different from the high budget Linux ads that rival company IBM launched in September of last year, which were created by New York ad agency Ogilvy Mather and featured such celebrities as boxer Muhammad Ali and director Penny Marshall. The difference is telling, said Bruce Perens, a Linux advocate and one of the founders of the Open Source Initiative. IBM's advertisement targets high level executives, while Microsoft appears to be targeting more technical users, Perens said. IBM understands that the people who really need the message are at the top, he said. I think that the IBM ad says, 'Buy Linux and save your company.' The Microsoft ad says, 'Buy Microsoft and save your job.' Microsoft characterized the advertisement's focus on IT professionals as in line with the fact based campaign it has waged against Linux since summer of last year. That's when the company's general manager of platform strategy, Martin Taylor, vowed to reduce the level of emotion in Microsoft's criticism of Linux. There were some emotional statements made before; we're now on a direction to talk about the facts, he said at the time. Monday's advertisement continues in that vein, a Microsoft spokeswoman said. We were looking at targeting the IT pros. IBM's was a broader Linux movement campaign, she said. It's the IT professionals who want the facts. According to Perens, the advertisement simply shows that Microsoft is afraid of Linux, and give the open source operating system more credibility in the enterprise. I think that Microsoft should continue this campaign in other publications, he said. In fact, they should buy some TV ads; maybe a Superbowl ad. http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/facts/analyses.asp njoy!

Re: [ilugd] Re: Promiscuous Mode of Ethernet
that's absolutely right. Sniffers/Protocol Analyzers like Ethereal are best admirer of this mode. as soon as u start Ethereal or xyz sniffer and select a perticular card, that card will be put up in promiscuous mode and that's how u get whole frame from network even the frame which your machine was not supposed to see, can be seen with that. and when etherreal is closed, you start getting only the frame which were intended to your machine. ** my comments are not for 802.11 network cards ** regards, Puneet - Original Message - From: Abhijit Menon-Sen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 9:22 AM Subject: [ilugd] Re: Promiscuous Mode of Ethernet At 2004-01-10 03:42:24 +0530, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Every Ethernet card has a hardware (MAC) address. Every Ethernet frame (packet) has a source and destination address, and is broadcast over the network. In normal operation, an Ethernet card receives only those frames that are addressed to itself (i.e., its own MAC address matches the destination of the frame). In promiscuous mode, however, the card receives all the frames it sees on the network, regardless of their destination address.
