[ilugd] :Problem installing linux - AMD x64
Hello All, I am changing my post from "Re: [ilugd] Problem in installing Linux on SATA drive" - so I donot Cross post as I have different topic. I am trying to install CentOS 4.2 x86_64 DVD (similar case with Fedora Core 4) version on my machine Configuration : Proc: AMD Athlon 3000+ (x86_64 ) Mobo : MSI RS480M2 (w PCI-E, 4-SATA port, IDE) HDD : SATA : 160GB IDE : 2x80 GB. RAM(DDR SD): 1 GB + 2x256 MB DVD : Lg DVD 8x Writer KYBD : 101 USB keyboard. MOUSE : iBall 5 button - PS/2 GRAPHIC : NVIDIA XFX 6600 with 128 MB Monitor : VIEWSONIC 15" TFT. I am installing the OS in my IDE drive which Primary (/dev/hda1). Whenever i try to install the Linux OS on it has problem with SATA drive installed on my system giving a msg: "IRQ 11: Nobody cared". After disabling the SATA port using the BIOS setting. The installation on my system goes on but it does not detect my mouse and the graphic installation does not work properly. Further, using the text mode for installation the system boot into linux (init mode 3) but seem be too sensitive to usb keyboard as when a single key it send multiple inputs. This is not all but I have to install the NVIDIA driver separately to atleast get the GUI online and still the linux system does respond properly. I have not yet found a way around this . So please help !! I am wonder off two possible problems. 1) Is my PC configuration goofed up some where?? 2) should I use another variant other than CentOS / Fedora Core / Knoppix (older version, have not tried the latest yet), which variant should I use that can run linux w/o disabling the SATA drive on my machine.? PS. I have being using CentOS (RHEL variant) linux on my system before upgrading to this configuration, have not yet face any problem!!. Best regards.

[ilugd] VSNL Broadband working on Linux?
Hello Everyone, Today I got a call from VSNL (or Tata Indicom) Broadband people. They have some attractive plans and I wish to get a connection. The executive told me that they will be providing a router for the connection but I have no idea what kind of device it will be, so I came running here. Is someone using this connection or these routers of Tata? How well are they supported on Linux? What is the experience like? I will not take this connection if it is not supported on Linux. Please help and give your suggestions.

No one would allow it. In school we used PCs for our project works and then in the med school used them to find additional references, on a custom made program that had important books scanned for us. We could find what we were looking for in the program, read a bit and then get print outs to read them thoroughly later. The problem we faced was that there were only two PCs with this program installed. If the college could connect to a central server with thin clients working, then it would have HELPED us to get easier to access to that important database. One of my friends who is a teacher in a management college also talks about a similar program. This program has database of loads of companies and students use it for their projects but once again the lack of terminals is a problem. Don't even think about buying more desktops and installing more than one copy. Each license of this programs is leased at a cost of 1.25 lacs per year!!! These simple things can be done in easier ways by using thin clients. They don't need machines good enough to play "The Sims" or churn code for them. They just want to use them for research and projects :) > Fact is, people graduating today - a large majority > anyway - have no idea about computers save the fact > that word processing is the same as MS Word, > presentations mean Powerpoint, and viruses and trojans > are something we just have to live with - things which > can't be dealt with.

The only thing it will do is help schools/colleges the way I explained above. I seriously don't understand. You want schools to install more desktops and then tell their students..."Hey, here you go.

Once the thin clients become popular (which Google can achieve by its level of marketing) then we will surely see more SOHO's with networking and thin clients. In fact it can also help institutions like schools and colleges who want their students to access only limited amount of content which could be already present on their servers. Not having enough bandwidth or speed of our "so called" broadband connections will be detrimental only to plans of using content right from the internet but then how many work are we doing like this anyways and by the time such functionality reaches to the masses you will be having uncapped connection with good bandwidth (at least I hope so) :) Regards, Abhay ___ 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 had an idea that if you make a Desktop PC with decent hardware then you can connect 3-4 (or more) thin clients to help a SOHO bring down the costs of buying new hardware and maintaining individual systems. Also if you have more than one person using PC at your place then wouldn't these thin clients work as desktops for each one of them as well?

[ilugd] Special Hindi characters not being rendered properly.
Hello, I have a Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A and am trying to type in Hindi in OpenOffice under KDE 3.4.3. I am facing problems in typing special characters like sri and tra. Also as shown in devanagri keymap when I use number keys with "Shift" key, I should get special characters but instead I get the actual symbols that are drawn on keyboard (screenshots attached for reference). Since xorg does not support my keyboard, I am using an alternate keyboard layout "Microsoft Internet Keyboard". I have also tried using "104 keys keyboard" layout but that didn't help either. On the other hand, using Hindi keyboard with traditional hindi layout on Windows XP works well in OpenOffice with all characters working smoothly. Please help me and give me some ideas on how to go about solving this problem. Do I need to use some alternate keyboard model? Can I use Windows' keyboard layout in Linux? Is it a problem with the layout of the keyboard model I have selected? I have searched but found nothing helpful. Any ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If people > are ashamed of using Hindi, then it's their problem, > not of the language. The same is true for an orphan child. If no one wants to accept it, its the problem of people and not the child...or do you think its the other way around? I never said that its the problem with Hindi, I just said that it needs to be made more acceptable. No matter how bitter the truth, its simple that communicating in Hindi is usually looked down upon. Try and send your CV in Hindi for a job application. I am sure you will not be called even for an interview. BTW my one comment is taking the discussion way off-topic. > Yup! I did the same and it didn't take me much time > learning typing in Hindi. I was able to chat in Hindi > within 2 days of printing the keymap out. Yes but at what speed and as Sandip very clearly mentioned in his earlier post that my requirements were different from yours. I needed to type documents for printing purposes and nothing more. Also I didn't know about Bolnagri till then thus I had very limited options. Either I could have spent hours learning the Hindi Keymap or adopt the easier approach of Shusha. I adopted the latter. > There is always a proper way to do certain things. And > if someone is determined to use Hindi on computer, he > wil surely learn how to type in Unicode.

That is where the difference between kids and grown ups arise. Kids don't have any option but to follow their teachers and thus they take the harder route but if you give a harder approach to an adult and ask him/her to type in Hindi, most of them will avoid it.

I don't know what your views are about Hindi computing and I am no authority to speak about it either but imho Hindi in itself is like an orphan child who has no one to take care of. When I mention Shusha (I am no developer, nor any marketing person for the fonts/firm involved), I just want to make more and more people to move on to writing in Hindi without going through the pain of keymap. I myself started to do lots of my correspondence with government offices in Hindi after I found Shusha and the main reason was the ease of typing. When I first started to write in Hindi (around 2 years back), I also wanted to stick to unicode. I even went out to buy a Hindi Keyboard and the only manufacturer I found to be making them was TVS but none of their dealers had them readily available. On writing to them directly, I was told to pay in advance and wait for 15 days to get the same. Solution? Print out the keymap then look for each letter first on the paper and then on keyboard which took really long to get any kind of work done. If it takes 2 hours for you to write one letter in Hindi because you are conforming to unicode then every "end-user" will get frustrated and move on to the easier way of writing the letter in English. Let people move on to Hindi first...feed them the standards later. Trying to do both at the same time achieves nothing but frustration and repelling users away from Hindi. That is just my opinion. You are free to have your own.

time taken by gentoo installation does not depend on CPU alone rather your connection speed also plays a huge role as you need to download lots of sources. if you are thinking about installing gentoo with a dial-up connection then please be ready to counter lots of frustration. on the other hand if you have a fast connection then i can assure you that you will absolutely love the Gentoo eXPerience ;) just a heads up.
