Regards, -- Raj Hi, So I have tried almost all the 3G providers before settling to Reliance. Here are my observations: (All the speeds are for my home (1st floor, open area), your speeds will vary, I'll recommend to go with the one whose tower is nearest to your house) (All tests under prepaid, although it shouldn't matter) 1) Airtel: Very unreliable 3G billing. I don't understand how they charged me for 4,800 MB of data usage in 1 and half day. :( (dropped it then and there) Goods: Nice coverage, low connection drops. Bads: No good plans (infact the worst). Speed (on 7.2 Mbps beetle data card): approx 2.4 (as reported by speedtest) 2) Vodafone: I liked vodafone guys from always, but not with 3G. Goods: Nothing special. Bads: bad speed (1.2Mbps), connection drops after every 20 mins or so, costliest. 3) MTNL: I was happy to find 1650 unlimited plan in MTNL, but when I tested it, it was awful. Good: Has unlimited plan (750/- if you pay 6 month upfront), cheapest. Bads: Most of the time I can't connect or can't see HSPA, network is HSPA only, not HSDPA thereby a max rated speed of 3.6Mbps. Speed: less than 1Mbps most of the time and sometimes worse. 4) Reliance: The most stable of what I've seen till now. Good: Almost 0 connection drop (atleast my locality, most of the time connection made in the morning lasts till I shut down the PC at night), Best download speed seen among all. I usually see download speed going beyond 600Kbps via browser (=4.8 Mbps). Bads: No unlimited plan. Speed: Most of the time its between 3-3.5 Mbps on speedtest.net My suggestion: I think there are lot of options to choose from, but go for the one which has the best coverage at your home, outside all are same.. Most of the Android phones has wifi tethering, but it sounds dirty. Get a data card from nehru place for 1800 bucks. It'll be lot more convenient. Btw, using internet from a 3G phone and bridging it via bluetooth will almost waste the experience because channel bandwidth is 128KBps in most of the cell phones (bluethooth v 1.2).

How about making this atleast marginally FOSS related by telling us something about the technical details of the implementation, so that it will help others using FOSS for web development. What are the FOSS components you are using and why? Where is the site hosted, what are the memory / processor requirements, and would you recommend that host? How many people in your team? How much development time? What's the business model here? Anything else you might think is relevant :) -- Anupam Hi, Yes sure.. So this one is basically built completely upon free software. I being a fan of OSS opted for choosing things that minimize the cost. It uses Django with a lot of third-party supporting libraries (like boto, twitter, oauth, eyeD3, titlecase, pyquery, mad, PIL to name a few), primarily for all the controllers that you see.. A little into for newbies in Django: Dango is an MTV(Model, Template, Viewer) framework that lets you separate your business logic with HTML/CSS as well as the data models. Having said that, it follows DRY (Don't repeat yourself) principles. As a result, the complete python code for this site is under 2000 lines. For those familiar with rails, its pretty much like rails. (Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLUS00QrYWw ) My initial thoughts to cook this up were 2 only, rails or django. As I am quite much comfortable in python, the choice became obvious. Rails demanded one month before I can start the project on, though I was very curious to learn it.. (might be next time). They say, rails have a very vibrant community, but now I can very well say, Django is equally good. http://groups.google.com/group/django-users supported me a lot. Further I am using MySQL for the DB layer. I earlier planned MongoDB for this, but then I thought it'll fall under the category of premature optimization so dropped the plan. MySQL everyone know, for MongoDB (http://www.mongodb.org/): MongoDB is a no-sql database which offers features like auto-shrading, map/reduce, gridFS. Its very fast, supports replication, and good thing is, its free! If you want to use it with Django, you might want to consult pymongo (python driver for MongoDB) and mongoengine. A Django like ORM for Mongo. Definitely if you are looking forward to a good scalable solution right from the start, give a shot to Mongo, There might be something good waiting out there for you. I am using this in another project and very happy with it. Apart from this, other good nosql DB that you might want to try is Apache Cassendra which is Java based. But APIs are available for almost all the languages. For playing music and multimedia related stuff, the site uses a 1x1px FLEX applet hidden in the page. Flex is an open source SDK for building flash movies and better suited for development rather designing. I am running this currently on Joyent cloud (reason: they give you 10TB free bandwidth each month), because this is bandwidth hungry, I couldn't afford Amazon ($0.10 per GB). The system has 256MB of RAM, a processor giving me a performance of 1.5GHz single core kinda. So its very short in resources. So for this, I opted out of apache, switched to lighttpd, using Django over fastcgi running in multithreaded mode instead of prefork mode. The server uses Ubuntu 10.10 server (reason: I was most familiar with this, although they say, CentOS is a wiser choice for server, but ubuntu never let me down.) Guess what, its working for me and I am still expecting some real good traffic on this very server in $16. For those unaware: Lighttpd is a light-weight web server with very low memory footprint. It can serve almost all the frameworks under the hood, via FastCGI (Have found this good with Django, Rails and PHP) So for a server like above, you might want to try a benchmark with Lighty. One good thing about Lighty is that, its configuration file's grammar is very cool. Afa recommending a host is concerned, yes Joyent is giving me good performance. Choosing joyent was the matter of: * Cost, $16. * They accepted my Indian Bank master debit card for this :) - god knows how! Although, lately I got to know

[ilugd] Reliance netconnect always in Broadband+ mode
Hi, I recently got reliance netconnect+, now the problem is (what I think), I have a couple of base stations near my home, one one which supports Broadband+ mode and the other one doesn't (works in 1x mode only). I could think so because in one room, the dialer shows Broadband+ mode and speeds are good, while in the other room, it shows 1x and speed is very poor. But in the later case/room, if I manually tell the dialer to use Broadband+ mode, it works like charm. The problem is, the dialer is for Windows and on Linux it selects network automatically and most of the times I see speeds like 1x network only. Is there are way to tell Linux that, Oh dear stupid modem, there is another network available that you can use rather than using this dumb network?

Re: [ilugd] Disaster recovery
Can anyone tell me how to take Disaster Recovery in RHEL 5. Please send any kind of tip or proccess. Hello, Disaster is a general term that, at server management end, is presumably used mostly for backup and preparing yourself to get through an untoward incident if possibly occur. Most of the GNU/Linux systems, including RHEL 5, offers same tools for that (except few, and usage may differ). To get started, lets consider you have in mind, natural calamities, physical damage to the server, system failure, and external attacks. SYSTEM FAILURE: * This problem can be addressed by using distributed approach. You can follow this guide to set up a cluster http://www.ram.org/computing/linux/linux_cluster.html * Say you have 10 servers, then if 1 goes down, 9 will get slightly more load but the whole system won't go down. EXTERNAL ATTACKS: * External attacks can be of kind, Active attacks(like flooding, cracking etc) and passive attacks(like SQLInjection etc). All of them has different approach for prevention. * You may want to use some firewall like Shorewall etc to prevent yourself from Active attacks, and use a robust server application that handles passive attacks at runtime. * Apart from that, viruses worms etc also appear that may creep into your data, but since you are running RHEL its most likely secure, still its not a dead sure! PHYSICAL DAMAGE: * Physical damage can be as funny as, someone cut the power cable to someone completely broken the server so as to take an old revenge ;-) * For this you may want to keep the server in a secure location and away from the reach of your enemies. :D NATURAL CALAMITIES: * Like earthquake, floods, tsunami!!! Then its the RAID that comes into picture. Create a complete mirror of your server at a completely different geolocation. This minimizes the chance as natural calamities seldom occur at two geolocations simultaneously.

Yes, version 7.0 of pagemaker and version 10 of Coreldraw are know to work and has got a bronze and gold rating respectively. See appdb.winehq.org.

Here is a method that i suggest, Use some software like Norton Ghost or its free alternative like PING (PartImage is not Ghost, is a live linux ISO that can be used as backup tool and emergency recovery). *1. Making Windows to recover instantly:* Install a copy of Windows with all the softwares, and keep a freezed image of this OS for emergency recovery. It takes about 5-7 mins to recover entire OS to the freezed state. Also if you can purchase, there is a software called as deep freeze that returns the system to its freezed state at every reboot. Undoing all the changes done to the system. That is one of the good software for systems with high virus infection risks. Files and folders can be configured to be saved and not to be undone at reboot. *2. Making files and folders safe:* On the second machine install some version of GNU/Linux and with the prevailing network mount a Samba share of Windows in RW mode on the Linux system. DO NOT put pen drives on the windows machine, rather use Linux for this and manually copy the desired files from the clients drive to the Windows machine using the mounted share. This will eleminate about 90% of viruses and malwares being spreaded by autorun method. *3. Using the External media as safe storage:* This can be done manually since now the system is not much prone to virus or using some automated backup tools like amanda. Configure Amanda to backup the windows machine over network using samba sharing.

$ diff /dev/{one,two}
It will show you something like

This is your device that you will use for further references.
Now write this in /etc/wvdial.conf
*[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
; replace internet with the access point name that you got from your
provider
Init1 = at+cgdcont=1,ip,internet
Phone = *99#

Replace internet with the access point name, e.g airtelfun.com for
airtel, internet for idea etc.
Then issue command wvdial to dial.

Re: [ilugd] This is weird!
It looks more like a phishing attack. Sane advice would be not to open the attachment but my curiosity got the better of me and I had to check what this weird mail was. Since I have not received a good enough response from Airtel for a week now, paranoia is setting in :-) Anybody else received such a mail? Try to open the mail attachment in an isolated environment. As in a virtual Linux system. Even if it will cause damage, that won't effect you. P.S.: Apologies if this looks like a long rant, but its really confused me and googling around didn't help as I couldn't find anybody else facing this issue.

Re: [ilugd] Internal-External HDD: Possible ?
If you don't want an extra power supply probably because it'd be too cumbersome to carry around, then you can purchase a laptop hard disk along with its case. The case will cost 150-300 INR approx. This is really a better option, i, myself is using the one, a 250G external with a carry case and AC adapter, its really difficult to carry and manage, Laptop hard disk with an external casing are USB powered and small, so are easily manageable. Also look around for Solid State hard drives if you are not in mood to carry a lots of multimedia stuff with you, as they are small sized, in both size and capacity but really fast as compared with SATA and PATA. Uptill now you'll get 16 GB or a maximum of 32 GB with a price tag of approximately 3K and 5K respectively. External one is approximately of the size of Home Lite Match Box, slightly bigger than normal match boxex. An added advantage is that they don't have any rotating part in them and are USB powered, and therefore resist shocks and crashes. A + for a good external hard drive.

Re: [ilugd] ubuntu feisty linux to nokia E61i bluetooth
object exchange. pair the device.. the easiest way is to start # bluetooth-applet and initiate pairing from the phone. Set the PC as authorized(just a personal opinion) in the phone. This way you dont need to use bluez-pin for pairing, neither you need to edit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf Now to send a file to a phone.. use # obexftp -b my_ph -B 12 -c dir -l # obexftp -b my_ph -B 12 -c dir -p file # obexftp -u 1 -c dir -p file Description: IPv6 address of the phone. 12 = channel as discovered by the sdptool -c changes to directory C:/ = phone mem of the phone E:/ = mem card of the phone -l lists the contents, gives an xml to stdout -p puts a local file file -u lists the usb interfaces available, -u 1 uses the first usb dev attached. example: to put a file myMp3.mp3 in the sounds section of phone over bluetooth: #obexftp -b my_ph -b 12 -c E:/Sounds/Digital -p myMp3.mp3 Same using usb cable #obexftp -u 1 -c E:/Sounds/Digital -p myMp3.mp3 read man obexftp // quite descriptive /* The reason of the halting of transfer with kbluetooth may be that it is trying to send the file using object push, and not object exchange (rem they are both available at different channels, so use it correctly, object push doesn't support transfer directly in memory card, file will go to the phones inbox. However no harm to phone will get caused if you will use the wrong channel. This is the reason of most of your problems. Right click - send via bluetooth worked because it used object push method... and in this mode phone recieves the file in the inbox, and does the job without even pairing. (Notice that you must have recieved the file in the inbox). There is a tool called obexpush that does the job for computer, or specifying the right channel in obexftp.*/ Next this all can be mounted as a filesystem using either of obexfs or p3nfs(better as i suggest) obexfs uses obexftp and fuse to mount it as filesystem where as p3nfs uses a small nfs server at phone part which is then mounted as a nfs share. // Easy to implement..

Again at my blog: http://tuxatwork.blogspot.com/2007/11/getting-internet-up-on-roam.html oh! small error there. airtel internet on gsm phone works on prepaid cards too. am using it. that said, even with GPRS over EDGE, the connectivity is fickle. after a few sessions discovered that either it works straight away on connect, or just stands still on connect. if the latter happens, just disconnect and try again. a few minutes into the connection it may slow down again. so disconnect and try again. sigh! As far as i know, Airtel is not known for providing internet on prepaid, they have a plan for full unlimited internet on postpaid costing around 450 per month. Same with vodafone is 199 per month but with additional 5p per 10 kb data charge but supporting both prepaid and postpaid. Then !dea has a brilliant plan of 5 Rs per day daily rental unlimited internet plan. Another is a zero rental plan costing 2p per kb (to try out, the access pt name is internet) in contrast, WLAN rocks. have got into the habit of strolling or walking around while the phone seeks WLAN connections, and am startled to find WI-FI waves almost everywhere, although almost all are secured and encrypted. Yes obviously wlan provides much much better speeds. But WI-FI goes down as you step out of delhi, in trains roads etc... So? the cafecoffeeday around the corner offers wi-fi for patrons, at a steep cost of rs 90 for 90 minutes, valid for 48 hours, and was happy to note they offer full support and service for 'Linux'. including mentioning command-line instructions on how to connect your gnuLinux laptop to their service. anybody tried it yet? how's the speed and service? Really those guys give such service! Brilliant! If the speed is good then i think the cost is also okay... About contact synchronization... i am not sure, but i am working on an application barbie, (barbie.sourceforge.net) in which i am trying to add this feature. This is reading and writing an xml file in the C drive of the phone. May be these holidays.. :-) Oh GOD... they have removed barbie... Actually i never read their terms of service.. he he. So they must have removed because of inactivity. Actually tough time going these days, so haven't worked on it from almost last two months. But anyways thaks for making me aware..

I have one more gmail's is pleomax00 [at] gmail.com Now, i have added the first one as another email address in the gmail settings. Then, i've configured my ice dove to recieve emails from both. And to send emails using the SMTP server of gmail i.e pop.gmail.com Till 2 days before, i was able to send mails to both iLugD and Debian users list using these settings... But not now. From iLugD i got a bounded mail with these contents.. The message's content type was not explicitly allowed Further, i changed my smtp server to use its own server i.e my.inbox.com This also doesn't worked.

I am not sure why you think so -- no one is going around attacking other people. But what i think Kazim was trying to say was not actually what it seems, i myself is a Debian user from a long time, its not like defending someone, but why we don't look at small facts, like, I need to configure glx before i can run any 3D desktop client. I I have never had to configure glx to do anything special. What exactly did you have to do? And what is a 3D desktop client? I did have t configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf, with help from dexconf, but I consider that normal -- and I did not have to deal with the bloatedness of Gnome or KDE, which is hard to escape, I am told, in Ubuntu. It seems that i am not that skilled as much as you are, though i think i can answer all the queries, and still can prove my point! Let me go particular... Firstly, i was talking in general, what an average human being thinks... With 3D desktop i meant compiz, beryl, fusion etc. (now please dont say, i should have said compiz fusion) in deb, one needs to edit xorg.conf to add glx in the module section... leave it let dexconf do it... all of us know you consider it normal... you consider, not a newbie. This is your personal opinion about gnome or kde, but it doesn't counts in user-friendliness - our actual point of discussion need to edit ALSA configuration to have my system defaults its sound to software mixer, which is preconfigured in ubuntu. I do not understand what defaulting sound to software mixer means. I made sure that my kernel had my sound driver compiled as a module, and it all worked. Even the buttons on the outside of the laptop work, and are supported by Xorg. Have you experienced something like, changing of volume doesn't function? This happens because in many cases, hardware volume mixer doesn't work, the best solution is to keep aside the hardware, and control the volume using software mixer... ubuntu defaults to it. Means in every case, either your card is being rendered properly or not, volume control will work for sure. Try Intel 915 on debian and change PCM level... you'll realize. Manually, for this one has to write a plugin like this... http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/How_to_use_softvol_to_control_the_master_volume I am using the Dell Precision M90 laptop with intel HD audio. I need to install everything in text mode. (does anyone think a novice user had a dream the night before he installed debain, to give installgui at the boot prompt) Well, the novice user would, if they had read the instructions. I am not sure I have much sympathy for people who can't read the installation instructions. Secondly, I have no idea why X is so much better than the curses based install; I prefer the curses, personally, since it is faster. And I was able to install a fully encrypted partition, with LVM on top, entirely from the install. Again you are giving your personal opinion, I have no idea Why do you think others have to do anything with your idea?? Do you think they don't have brains to form their opinion about curses and X? And, despite it all being encrypted -- it suspends to ram, and suspends to disk, all by itself. Try doing a fully encrypted (all but boot -- and yes, the swap is encrypted, and still resume works) in either Fedora or Ubuntu. User friendly, my foot. Had you used a bit better way of talking on a such a big mailing list, where you are representing yourselves among more than 6000 people, i'ld have been much interested in answering this as well. Really, this was not expected... from a person like you. I've seen your profile. So my dear friend... keep your calm. This is not a battle field. I myself need to edit sources.list, defaults to an empty file in debian to get aptitude working. This happens not to be the case. D-I creates an sources.list. Please tell me what D-I is? In my case, i've got an empty file after install. Its the end of 2007, and i still log in for the first time in the traditional old gnome theme. Same with other desktop environments. Thankfully, Debian allows me _not_ to log into either GNOME or KDE. And configuring themes is an easy, one time thing; giving me the choices I want is far more user friendly than going for eye candy by default. Are GNIOME themese so very hard to change? I was assured that changing themes is easy -- in which case, what does it matter what the initial theme is? Yes, this matters... means debi is good that they provide no theme, and rest of 4786 distro developers are mad enough to waste their time and resources in creating a custom feel of their distro.

If this is the culprit then such errors are seen. If this is there then checkout what is the default outpit plugin... (easy to do it, just by reading the file).

I realize that you must be in pain due to the vodafone proxy. As a side note remember that the postings on this list are going down. So, an inference could be drawn that the people with the breadth required to answer your query are a little rare to find here. My advise would be to not give up on the list and ignore the noise. There might be someone from that domain checking the digests. Nevertheless, let me try and help you ask yourself some questions. These will be very high level for I am no expert in the area. It may just happen to be of some help. But no guarantees. 1. Are you sure that the gmail midlet you are trying to install uses http protocol? 2. Have you found some program for your phone which lets you specify an operating system wide http proxy? 3. Have you verified that vodafone does not have an active policy to block all non http or non authenticated access? You could also try posing the query on forum nokia . Or other global lists where j2me developers gather.

But the same result at forum.nokia.com, they says that nokia has no support for midlets to go from proxy after series 40 (since 2002) but yet has some unofficial ways to get it up. And as far as my knowledge is concerned j2me has no support to hard code them as well, else a wrapper could be used to attain this(like some midlet managers in smart-phones like 02). And as far as the 3 questions that were put up, i've verified that gmail uses http(or atleast other applications such as Nimbuzz, that asks for the connection method should work), and the proxy at vodafone allows outbound http traffic through this proxy, but filters socket requests!

Asheesh, you yourself had specified the reason for the screen flicker... The high voltage powerline produces a magnetic field strong enough make your monitor flicker at 60Hz... Think yourself, if your monitor is faulty, then why it doesn't flicker at higher referesh rates. The only solution that i can suggest is to keep your monitor at lower resolution though at higher refresh rate, or try taking your monitor a bit away from the high-tension wires., and if you can... then upgrade your hardware.

I had these resolutions in my previous hostel also but it didn't used to flicker !!! There is also a high powerline going above the hostels. The two hostel are approximately 30m apart Can anybody figureout the reason.Any solutions? asheesh - Bollywood, fun, friendship, sports and more.
