Re: [ilugd] What happens in BASH when you do Ctrl-C (hint, it's not simply sending a SIGINT)
There is no program called `http' on a GNU/Linux system. What you have is one of those confounded members of the apt, dpkg family has what they call 'method' to get the packages. If you configured your I agree that it is part of apt but http is an elf, executable program in itself. It is located in /usr/lib/apt/methods along with many others like cdrom, ftp, and https. sources.list to fetch from a http server, it runs 'method http; if it was ftp, they run 'method ftp'; and if you had specified cdrom, it will apply the method, cdrom. I believe that was obvious? Though the name might be a method, http is a binary and the apt-get program must be forking and then running this binary (or using some similar method of invocation). -- begin offtopic -- I tried $ /usr/lib/apt/methods/http www.yahoo.com but that didn't seem to start fetching the file. As noted already, it's probably part of the apt family and has it's own invocation method. apt developers for some reason didn't want to use curl or wget. When I tested apt earlier in the thread, I greped for were wget and curl (in ps) before simply reading ps ax. One reason for this could be that their http gives them feedback which allows apt to show progress. -- end offtopic -- IMHO, you should raise this question in apt / dpkg developers' list.

Re: [ilugd] What happens in BASH when you do Ctrl-C (hint, it's not simply sending a SIGINT)

Re: [ilugd] Can we code in Hindi ??
lol, Its not possible, why you forget about documentation ?? will documentation be in English There are books available for say hindi speaking people to learn say japanese. You don't have to learn English first to learn Japanese. You just don't see the books around 'cause you are present in a market where it probably wouldn't sell much. I still consider this to be a dream, which is totally not impossible but would be surprised if this happens in my life time. Nope,,, It is impossible to revert time... In our lifetime, may be. How about somebody in the future develops a time machine, comes back and teaches me how to make a time machine? I would like this to go on permanent record (as permanent as this archive can be) that I want to learn how to make a time machine if somebody reads this in the future -- I also promise I will do no evil! :D I might still stick to writing EN code, but at least people might write better software if they can do so in their own native language. When will you guys will agree that a computer language is having its own syntax. saying pyton in hindi is same as saying Newton's law in Hindi And because Newton's law was translated in Hindi, we now have a wider people with elementary education. Or do you mean to imply that people who know how things work (without knowing English) do not understand the principles/cannot apply them/or cannot compete for a job with you? like in C++ , if we need to define variable then it will be *int i ;* and in Hindawi it will *purnank aai ;* How does it matter, by a *technical point of view * you are just rebuilding the keywords to make life complex. You are renaming the keywords, yes, but to make life simple for those who learn it. Nobody is asking you to learn it. Narendra, you are not the target audience. I think you are missing this point. Your question (whatever that was, I've lost track now) is still valid, I guess, but you should also realize that teaching English first to do coding is not sensible. As mentioned before, this might just be working as a wrapper. That means, that the code is already being converted to english (forget variable names for now, they are trivial in understanding logic) making it accessible it to a wider community. Think of it this way. There are more people who can learn in India to program. They do so in their native language. Wrappers are available to make it available elsewhere. writing a code in computer language need some keywords, with logic, native language is not useful for code writing. On the contrary, for code _WRITING_, native language is the best way to WRITE. Logic is language independent. I will again say, you are diverting new generation to stick/code with local language. I don't think the new generation (around you and me) is being asked to learn programming in local languages. This is meant for people who speak certain languages.

Re: [ilugd] suggest a CMS
I tried out a few CMSs when I had to started with making a website for my department (it is still work under progress and not published yet). I did try Joomla, MODx, and a few more CMS (I have the names on my lab PC) but we finally stuch to MODx. We foudn it to be quite configurable (I'm sure others are as well), graphically and otherwise. I can't really say much about other options but I would suggest MODx because I found it pretty easy to modify its code (to adapt to our requirements) and also modifying some of the add-ons (like EasyNews/EasyEvents or something). It is also pretty easy to make submission forms (for surveys/feedback etc). Oh, forgot the important thing which is that our requirement was that faculty/staff/and even students should be able to manage content (MODx supports that but I will also confess that giving the initial roles is a tad-bit confusing though it seems logical once you get it going). We did not want a website where a guest visitor should be able to modify/add content and that is what I have been able to turn it into (just had to disable a plugin and make a few changes in the template (skin/theme)).

Re: [ilugd] Network programming..
Hi Shamail It is very much possible to have a direct connection between two computers over the internet. In fact, the fact that is over the internet plays little role (unless there are firewalls/IP masquerading taking place). Find any tutorial on socket programming (in C/C++/perl/Java) and then you can make one of the two end-nodes (computers) as the server (the other node can initiate the connection to the server). What is required though is that your packets reach the other side, i.e., when you establish a connection to the other computer, you need to know the IP address and the in-between network (internet) should allow packets to reach the other side.

Re: [ilugd] ilugd Digest, Vol 52, Issue 34
There is something very fishy if that is the case. Are you sure lsmod does not show ndiswrapper? Manually locate where the ndiswrapper module is compiled. In my case, I find it in /lib/modules/2.6.22.1/misc/. Try removing the driver (-r wg) and adding it again? Can't think of anything better.

[ilugd] embedded kits
Hi folks I am looking for some embedded kit for hobby projects -- no special requirements (high ram, x86/PPC?), I just need something to tinker with.

Re: [ilugd] embedded kits
This might seem off-topic but please Indulge me for a moment while I talk about one my aspirations (now dead). I have a Sharp EL-6890 personal organizer, or rather had one. The gadget had 256kb of flash and a decent display screen and what set it apart from the Casio organizers was that it had a com port. About a year back, I had this wonderful idea to make something useful out of it. To make it so that you plug the device to the serial port of your computer and get a login prompt on the device! How cool would that have been, especially because it hadn't been done before. Anyways, I open the thing only to find that the top of all chips (two big ones representing probably the processor and memory) had been fused (probably custom chips inside).. Yeah probably its an overkill to do blinking lights..

The exact functionality you are looking for is provided in the Linux kernel as frequency scaling.

Re: [ilugd] Own Linux Distro
I've done LFS myself and doing that could be quite instructive. Mind you, LFS (to the best of my knowledge) is used for building a GNU/Linux based OS for a particular machine (architecture) only, atleast you would get best results for that target machine (think using optimizations). I can't help you with unattended install processes, but as others have pointed out already, atleast Fedora/Mandriva allow the same. Check their project website for ideas. For an easy (customizable) live CD building (with installation support), another option could be slax [slax.org]. I personally dislike binary based distros. I'm currently using Gentoo. There is a related project (for Gentoo only?) called SCIRE for remote administration and possibly installation (unsure)?

Re: [ilugd] kernel panic
if you are trying to boot the machine without any ram and getting that error, please correct me if i am wrong, it could be because 2.4 kernels try to load initrd onto a ram-drive first. what does the exact error message say when you try to boot the system with ram? one thing you can do is get a live disc (or use the first disc of whichever distro you are using), get a shell from that (they all provide different ways of getting there. some need to be passed rescue on the boot loader prompt of the cd etc) and try mounting your fs there. see if everything seems to be intact. you can try chrooting into the root (/) fs on the hdd and exploring. if you use lilo, try running lilo from the chroot-ed environment. did you swap hard-drives recently? did the computer reboot by itself/power failure? could it be that you use ext2 filesystem? sharad birmiwal On 11/2/05, Manish Popli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I m using 2.4.21-4.Elsmp kernel.it http://kernel.it http://kernel.it went down suddenly and when i reboot, it was not able to found the boot record.. after that i plughed out a slot of 512mb ram from it and tryed to boot it..M/c got start but i was facing the error... *Kernel* *panic*: *no* *init* *found*.

Is there anything else that I should be aware of? My desktop box is Linux and the laptop is WinXP. Havent visited the links you pointed out but i have setup a couple of wireless lans (home and enterprise) so i would like to add my 2p : 1. Buy a wireless router (about 3k) rather than trying to setup an adhoc network between your PC and Laptop. Its much easier to setup and you dont need to keep your PC switched on. You would however need a net connection that gives you an ethernet connector, not USB. Get a 802.11 B+G (stay away from the A standard). 2. I usually take 3 measures to secure the network : - Disable SSID broadcast (makes the network invisible) - Enable WEP or WPA encryption, latter is better but your router and client both need to support that. - If security is really important, enable MAC level access control. I would like to add here that doing the above will not give you foolproof security and a determined hacker may still get in but it gives you pretty good protection. Ofcourse there are many other levels of protection but the more protection you add the slower your network will become and be quite a bitch to setup. Just like a condom CAN break but you would rather use it anyway :). have fun, - Ankur. ___ 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 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] Squid uses 98% CPU
yes, you're right. i should have probably also mentioned that linux using only 128MB probably isn't the reason why squid is hogging up so much cpu. i've no experience with setting up squid so can't help you with that. sharad birmiwal On 7/12/05, Shivkumar Jagannath [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I think that the two are totally unrelated. Squid using 98% CPU has got nothing to do with your swap not getting used or linux not reporting 256MB RAM.

Re: [ilugd] Configure USB Pen Drive
you can try running $ tail -f /var/log/messages (or is it /var/log/kern.log?) and then connect your pen drive. see what that registers and post that on the list. sharad birmiwal On 7/4/05, Sudev Barar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 7/3/05, Udyan Kushwaha [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i need some help to configure pen drive my linux9, kernel version is 2.4.20.

Re: [ilugd] K3b does not copy CDs containing multiple data tracks
a little initial googling revealed that you still can't copy discs with multiple tracks (eg SVCD). i don't know if things have changed recently.. :( sharad On 25 Jun 2005 09:55:43 -, Navneet Choudhary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, i am using Mandrake-10.1(Official) on Intel based pc having these version of GNU/Linux packages:- Kernel-2.6.8.1-12mdk K3b Version:0.11.16 Cdrecord-2.01-1.1.101 KDE Version: 3.2.3 QT Version: 3.3.3 with CD WRITER, SAMSUNG(IDE) TSSTcorp' 'CDW/DVD TS-H492A IOMEGA(USB) Predator CD-RW ' 'CDRW38402EXT2-B When i try to copy VCD.K3b generates following error (different for each writer):- 1.SAMSUNG CD-WR K3b needs cdrecord 2.01a12 or newer to copy Mode2 data tracks. 2.IOMEGA CD-WR K3b does not copy CDs containing multiple data tracks.
