Re: [ilugd] Has INTEL been taken over by m$ or is it a market-manipulation tie-up ??
The second hand market will soon die after a couple of years after this gets implemented. The second hand market does not work on upgrading the processor or any other parts. It works on sustenance. You can very easily do BGA level desoldering and repair. These guys have chip level repairing guys and machinery, and they keep replacing failed components like NB, SB or CPU. The chips themselves are procured from recycled boards. A removable socket allows user-level upgradation of the processor, which is not a huge market for second hand computers. The real big market is rental companies, BPOs, schools and other large consumers who can afford in house tech guys. I agree with you but my concerns lie with the whole market involved here. If you think about the impact this technology would have on other motherboard manufacturing businesses, they would have to find other means to sustain themselves in some way. Not saying that it should not be done in the first place, but it's a decent enough criteria for some companies to shutdown. Intel makes the processors and chipsets, does not mean it wants to make the boards too. A number of components are monopolised. Tyco monopolises certain connectors, Molex does for others. LCD panels are tightly controlled in a similar manner, and so are HDDs (I think all the HDD companies own each others' shares or something crazy like that). None of these guys want to do the assembly and full solution. Intel too is happy making just chips - as I said in my first email, it announced this week that it is in fact quitting the desktop board business. It's all about partner enablement - a euphemism for you do the dirty work while we create the cool technology. Google does the same thing with its Nexus range - it lets others do teh manufacturing and logistics. IMO, in some way, it is also anti-competitive, since Intel occupies more than half of the pie of the current microprocessor market share, and then it would try to capture the motherboard segment as well. It didn't for the longest time. Then it entered, in order to set a standard in the channel business. Channel (assembled) is big in Asia. Now the Taiwan guys like Gigabyte and BioStar have caught up pretty good, and they no longer need to keep doing this low margin board business. All public technology companies strive to increase their market share. They don't want to do the grunt work like PCBA, that doesn't do good to their stock price. We haven't seen any competitor for these guys lately, but yeah I would want that too. Dude, check out Mary Meeker's report for 2012. Android sales surpassed Windows sales long back. Every day, more Android devices are sold than all of the Microsoft OSs put together. And Apple is a distant third. The paradigm of computing has changed. The PC is no longer the only manifestation of a computer. Anything with a decent OS is a computer, whether it is your laptop or your tablet/phone. After all, all you need to do is use your browser. Of course, this means Linux won the desktop war already. Linux the kernel. Gnome or KDE may have lost out to Android on the Window Manager front, but the kernel is the same. If you throw in all those modems and 3G routers, the Linux kernel outsells everything else put together. Tizen is coming up as a decent competitors, Firefox OS just debuted. On the OS (kernel) front Linux won the war years ago. It won the war on servers (cloud computing users favour Linux many times more than Windows). It won the war on phones. It won the war on embedded devices. It lost the war on PCs, and PCs are now dying. But let me not say that out loud, because, somehow you still want to buy desktop boards :p Cheers!

Re: [ilugd] Has INTEL been taken over by m$ or is it a market-manipulation tie-up ??
Hi Sudhir Yesterday I found that Intel is not making any motherboard that supports Linux on Desktop. Intel is one of the primary sponsors of Linux development. Alan Cox was employed by Intel till he resigned yesterday. Intel is also quitting the desktop board business, as announced by them earlier this week. All Intel chips have great support for Linux. They even support Coreboot development now. Some recent Intel chips, such as the Atom D2500, have had VLSI IP licensed from third parties like PowerVR, who are not OSS friendly. As a result, Intel is moving away from these vendors. In support of open source, they've stopped licensing IP from closed source driver vendors. How cool is that? The vendor made me talk to an Intel guy on conference, who said Intel makes Server boards that support Linux, since Linux is largely used on servers only. They do have many boards that supports widows. Intel has great support for Linux on their server boards/chipsets, as opposed to say Nvidia. AMD is catching up on this after they acquired ATI. Sounds strange. Is it that m$ has bought over Intel or is it some kind of market-manipulation tie-up going on there ? Will be good to know, if anyone has more information. MS itself is not fairly friendly to open source. The battle against M$ was won long ago, in my opinion. I think it boils down to a business decision. Intel is already one of the top three employers of Linux engineers. Even then, they might not have enough folks to take care of driver development for all their hardware. After all, most of the big guns work on the tougher stuff like schedulers and filesystems, which are important for Intel on the server side. Driver writing is for the newbies. Intel needs great Linux support in order to defeat UNIX on the big iron side. That is a higher priority than desktop driver support, since, after all, how many people use Linux anyway? Things are very different with their mobile chips though. Over there, they are fighting ARM. ARM is very Android friendly, which in turn requires the Linux kernel. This means even Chinese chip makers are suddenly very Linux friendly, and will give you complete kernel trees for their chips. Sure, there are still some binary blobs around, but that's going away fast. In fact, Windows CE and Windows RT drivers are simply not available on a number of ARM chips now, since all they ever run is Linux (Android/Tizen/etc). Given this scenario, Intel also has to have excellent Linux support for their chips ready before the chip is out. Otherwise they can't run Android or Tizen for their demos. In such situation, are there boards by other makers that support Linux on Desktop or does one have the only option of shifting over to AMD ? When you ask for Linux support, what exactly are you looking for? Have you purchased a recent Desktop board from Nehru Place and tried to run Fedora 17/18 or Ubuntu 12.10 on it? Did you face any problems. See, Intel does not provide drivers for Linux on their website any more. TI doesn't. Vendors are moving away from that. Instead, they work closely with LKML, the distros, etc., to ensure the drivers are baked into the standard distros itself. That said, you need the latest Linux distro, because chipsets change fast. You might even have a situation where you buy a bleeding edge board and have to wait till the next Fedora/Ubuntu refresh to get everything working well. This is again not Intel's fault. It will work with the kernel guys and get the drivers included. But the distro might decide not to version up their kernel. So you are stuck with 3.6, say, on Fedora 17, while Intel bungs their latest and greatest drivers into 3.7. So you are forced to move to Fedora 18 to get 3.7. That's on Fedora/RedHat, not Intel. Let me know if you need more help, and I can patch you through to some vendors in NP who can provide you with Linux compliant boards. Cheers!

Re: [ilugd] Has INTEL been taken over by m$ or is it a market-manipulation tie-up ??
Agreed. The same way they are thinking of getting rid of boxed processors, instead the processor will be a part of the motherboard when shipped. But that I thought was only killing the hobbyist, can't see any direct impact on Linux or a relation to MS. I've been working with on-board processors from VIA and Intel for a decade now, on platforms like Mini-ITX, and I can't say how good an idea they are. Other than PC boards, there is no other electronics platform I know of, where the central processor goes in and out of a socket. And a socket with 500+ pins. Its ridiculous. And the environmental impact of this is tremendous. Moving to BGA saves material and energy. And, I mean, who does these weird combinations of board and processor anyway? Rather than upgrade the processor, you should get a new system. And no, the old board+processor does not end up in a landfill. It will live on in the second hand market. On the other hand, if you upgraded just the processor, then the old processor would end up in the trash most of the time. When a processor is soldered well enough on to the board, the complete system is highly reliable and will live on for more than a decade. My family's first PC was purchased in '85, and we actually sold it in '99 to someone. Yes, sold it, not gave it away. It worked very reliably, and everyone we knew, knew that it works. That's because the 808x chip it used, was securely plastered on the motherboard, not dangling from some pressure connector. ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Re: [ilugd] Migration to GNU/Linux: Suggestions needed
Hi Mohit This is a great endeavour. Why don't you consider network booting your PCs? That way you won't need to install Linux in 500 machines. Just build a master image on a server and let all units share it. The local HDD can be used for swap, since 1GB might be a little low for, say, running Netbeans or Eclipse (don't know what stuff you'll use). What prompted your management to make the switch?

Re: [ilugd] Migration to GNU/Linux: Suggestions needed
Sounds great. Network booting allows you to run complete distros only. It does not convert the PCs into thin clients. I am not talking about LTSP here. Fedora, for example, can easily be configured to network boot. The full distro. The advantage is single system imaging. You are all running the same copy of Fedora, which means you run yum update once, and all your 500 machines are updated. Its just... from an admin point a complete no-brainer to run a single image. The other advantage is that your Linux installation virtually never crashes. With SSI, it is easy to maintain a backup of the known good working copy. Do your updates on a staging copy, test it on 10 machines for a week, then roll out the updates to other machines (just move a softlink around and you're done). The only other way for you to keep 500 machines updated, would be to have a local mirror of the Fedora/Ubuntu repo you use. Lots of universities do this. And remember, network booting means that every evening, you can switch all 500 machines into Beowulf mode. Meerut's fastest supercomputer by a long margin, I'm sure! And oh... this 100% non-destructive. Which means you can do this NOW, without erasing Windoze or anything else installed on your machines. You can switch all 500 machines to Linux one day, without changing anything on them (other than a BIOS setting to enable PXE). What does that mean? Any migration will have its hiccups. Migrating 500 machines dead turkey will make a lot of users very unhappy. This retains the dual boot option for as long as you want. Once you feel the migration is done, just SSH into the machines and nuke the Windoze copy on the HDD.

Within the same LAN, it is legal. You can transfer incoming PSTN lines over IP to any point within your network. You can even transfer over WAN to an office in another SDCA. On the outbound front, you can't initiate a call using a PSTN port in another SDCA. So, you can't use SIP over your WAN and use a PSTN port in Bangalore to initiate a local call in Bangalore. You'd have to use your local PSTN port and dial long distance to Bangalore. The rules are easy to understand once you know the motivations of the babus.

Re: [ilugd] Gecko vs Webkit
- Gecko is now very solid and no longer lags behind WebKit. Is this claim substantiated? From still from my study, i felt, webkit is better, but i will miss millions of users using Firefox if i dont build on Gecko. Depends on what your app is. If its a tool, yes, you have a problem. If it is a business app, then most people won't mind having an extra browser just to use your app. We have business customers who eagerly change browsers if their business app performance improves - these customers' business lives in their apps, so app performance is important. Can someone help me out in deciding or share their views on Gecko vs Webkit. Webkit is faster, even on slower systems. And with Chrome(ium) you no longer have to sell Webkit to potential users.

The way i was thinking this to be a SPAM activity is by asking
hundreds of persons RHC{T/E} on the lists to spam the

[ilugd] Anyone interested in ARM development?
Hey guys! I'm not sure if this qualifies as a commercial post, so I didn't flag it so. We have some pretty interesting work to be done on the ARM platform. If you've heard of the BeagleBoard, then this is pretty much the same stuff. We are creating a very low end computing device using an ARM SoC. In fact we're making a series of these devices, with Silicon from TI and lesser known Taiwanese firms. The target for the equipment is mostly rural primary education. Right now we're using commercial boards, but as the project gathers steam, we'll have open source hardware. For now, the software part will be as open as possible (we're having to deal with binary blobs from the Silicon vendors). To fund the project, we'll be using these boards in thin clients, digital signage, and other projects where we currently use x86 Mini-ITX boards with VIA or Atom processors. We're looking for folks with cross platform development experience. If you've dealt with a few of the following things, this work is up your street: 1. Uboot 2. Remote boot 3. Kernel development for non-x86 targets (even cross compilation and booting up will suffice) 4. Firmware development on Linux 5. GTK+ 6. Building root file systems for ARM targets If you've worked with the BeagleBoard or Gumstix, you already have the right skills. What we will give you: 1.

So class becomes pretty boring sometime for these students. I wonder if movies like Hackers3, Pyrates of silicon valley could makes things rolling and hepl them understand better.

I'm sorry but I've never done this myself. if yes can we do it with LTSP or what should i use It is supposed to be eminently doable with LTSP. You just need DHCP, TFTP and NFS servers for Windows. Why do you need this? Trust me, go down to Nehru place, find the most ridiculous old PC you can find. It will work excellently as a diskless server (provided it doesn't have flaky hardware).

The mousepad of my Acer laptop[1] started misbehaving within 2 months of purchase. Today, after 3 years of sparse usage (mostly lying around at home) I find out that the keyboard has started misbehaving too. Don't even get me started on the battery.

Re: [ilugd] which flavour of linux to choose
Thank you everyone and i guess i will go with ubuntu. Good choice. Months later, when you are more familiar with Linux and try some other distro, you'll wonder why all of them aren't as easy to install and use as Ubuntu :) If you aren't in a hurry, you can visit https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and have them ship you a free CD. It comes in from Singapore, yet arrives within a week. Not wanting to start a flame war - I use Fedora for all my work. But I still have Ubuntu on my spare laptop, to turn to when all else fails. ___ 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] which flavour of linux to choose
1. Is it legal for someone to distribute a Redhat Enterprise Linux copy that he bought from Redhat without any Redhat agreement or restrictions? If yes, than again I get back to my old question which is how will he get the distro. It is illegal. The binaries are copyright protected. The source is re-distributable. The Red Hat logos and trademarks embedded into their product can also not be redistributed. 2. Is it legal for someone from Redhat(assuming he has the access to the distro) to distribute it for free without any Redhat agreement or restrictions(in short as FOSS) I don't think so, though I would like a RedHat guy to comment. The RHEL EULA prohibits you from using RHEL unless someone from RH gives you a license, or written permission to do so. (b) Use CentOS Acceptable. Yet, still not RHEL! Not RHEL. Only better :) ___ 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] which flavour of linux to choose
.This EULA does not permit User to distribute the Programs or their components using Red Hat's trademarks, regardless of whether the copy has been modified. *Courtesy: Redhat http://www.redhat.com/licenses/rhel_rha_eula.html Thanks Smruti. I was going to point the list members to the EULA link myself. The GPL only talks about the source code. What someone compiles out of the source, is their work. How the authors of this binary work licenses that work, is their prerogative. The GPL only dictates that the source must accompany the binary. You can charge for the binary, and copy protect it. GPL v3 of course has interesting caveats, which prevent Tivo-isation, to use a word coined by Stallman. To put it trivially, you can copy protect the binary, as long as you don't prevent the user from removing your binary firmware from the device altogether, and putting in their binaries. The RedHat EULA is actually pretty accommodative. Other EULAs I've read in the past, specifically prohibit redistribution of binaries. I think Novell made SUSE that way - you couldn't redistribute SUSE 10. Then they had to create OpenSuse to appease the community. If we're going to divert ourselves into a licensing discussion, shouldn't we change the thread subject ;-) ___ 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] ICICI Netbanking and Firefox 2.0 (or where to get Firefox 1.5)
Hi, Has anyone been able to successfully transact on the ICICI Netbanking website using Firefox 2.0. By transact I mean able to transfer funds, etc. Basically anything that requires: (a) your transaction password to be entered, or (b) the debit card grid verification to be performed). My session has consistently been timed out immediately after (a) above. While Googling around, I came across a forum where someone claimed that due to a JS error the session times out in Firefox 2.0, but the site works on Firefox 1.5. Does anyone know where I can get a Firefox 1.5 package (or tarball) for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. I've been trying to search for it, but in vain.

But the final insight only came after grovelling through the Javascript code on the page. It takes a reasonable amount of time and effort, but at the end of it you usually know exactly what is wrong. For the record, I have successfully used Iceweasel/Firefox 2.0 for both Netbanking and the payment gateway. Wow! Did you document it anywhere? If not, do you remember what the problem was and how you fixed it? Can you document it now? I can try to write a small userscript to fix the error.

Please do remember that Freed.in is what the community wants it to be, so if you do not like the change of focus, please be at the meeting, and make yourselves heard. This focus on what the community wants, in my opinion, does not always work. There are things which need to be driven by a single person or a small core team based on their personal convictions. Everything can't be a decision by committee. All those who're harping about the inappropriateness about the new direction of Freed on the mailing list (me included) will probably not work as much (or not work at all) in running around to get stuff organized. So why let them take control of the decision? (which would mean giving them a vote in the meeting -- if it comes to that) The core team can listen to everyone's view, and execute only what they themselves are convinced about. Not some fuzzy community trying to drive stuff by proxy using video conferencing and IRC.

Re: [ilugd] Plan for Freed.in 2008
Hi Gora, I have attended only one Freed (it was called Freedel at that point) and the focus seems to have shifted quite a bit since that time (open source s/w focused event to a more social revolution kind of event). Therefore, please read my comments in that context -- most of them may be emanating from the fact that the new direction doesn't fit my notion of the event. 1. How does a focus on the Knowledge Ecosystem tie in with open source software? It surely ties in with open standards (and file formats), but not necessarily with free/open source software. However, freed.in may focus on the use of open source software in helping create the knowledge system - which is absolutely fine. Except that (a) this is not stated anywhere explicitly in the document, and (b) not all content can be managed properly with open source s/w as of now. 2. The term Knowledge Ecosystem can mean different things to different people. I've read the document carefully, it does not define what knowledge ecosystem means to the organizers of the event in clear concise terms. I think that's important. Also, knowledge can impact lots of aspects of our lives. It would be good to list a few of them, which Freed is planning to focus upon. From the tone of the document, education and government seemed to be the primary focus, but again, helps to be explicit. 3. What does section 1.3 mean? How do you plan to achieve the tangible goals listed out in this section through Freed.in? Wouldn't achieving these goals require a lot more sustained effort than a 3 day event? Section 2.4 answers this question partially, but I'm still a bit skeptical. Also, from a document writing perspective, portions of the text of section 2.4 should be contained in section 1.3 to make things more obvious. 4. Pardon me, but IMHO, most of section 3.1 offers nothing concrete to the user. It simply adds to the sense of vagueness. It should probably be removed and replaced by a succinct definition of the term Knowledge Ecosystem and be moved to somewhere in section 1 itself. 5. This might be my ignorance, but what role do open source licenses (as defined by OSI) play in creating and sharing knowledge? (Also, the link to OSI http://opensource.org opens a website wildly different from http://www.opensource.org!) As an overall comment, the document needs to be more specific. Probably you're expecting community feedback to flesh out the details. But in my opinion, the overall vagueness (and too many buzzwords) hampered my in offering any useful feedback. Making the document shorter and adding a one line mantra (v/s a mission and vision statement) about Freed should help people understand the overall context. And get the ideas flowing.

Re: [ilugd] [LONG] Re: Plan for Freed.in 2008
If you look at our country (and probably most developing countries), you will see that the fundamental issues relate to availability of knowledge, not availability of software. Posting free CDs of Linux to people who don't have the computers to run them on won't help in any of these areas -- software isn't the whole solution, it's just part of it. Exactly. This whole thing about the knowledge economy is not necessarily about software. Its about mind sets. It's the same mind set that is required to get an RTI act into effect. Sure, the RTI act is more effective if the information dissemination is not through individual applications and replies -- but it still works without the software. So where is that huge fund of knowledge that is lying with the individuals of India? Can I access it? Can I use it? Can I enhance it? No, since it's hidden away in the minds and collective wisdom in villages and small towns, whose people do not have any means available for expressing that wisdom and sharing it with the rest of the world. One of freed.in's goals at this event is to discuss ways forward for enabling the free collection and dissemination of knowledge, no matter where in this country or in the developing world it exists. At the risk of oversimplification: Today's society and economy is hinged upon the availability of knowledge. Digital technologies have proven to be an effective way for sharing such knowledge. Digital technologies are not available to most of India (especially rural parts). Is Freed.in about bridging this digital divide? Finally, to answer the question you raised raised at the end of your first para, knowledge that is hidden away in a proprietary format, no matter how prevalent the format or how high the quality of the knowledge, is useless in the new paradigm IMNSHO. No. In fact, I said that knowledge needs to be stored in open formats and transmitted using standard (open) protocols. That's necessary. What's not necessary is that the *tools* required to manipulate these formats be free and open source. For example, a Wiki developed in .Net and deployed on Microsoft Server 2k with IIS as the web server is still a Wiki. It will achieve the purpose of knowledge sharing in the same way a Twiki on LAMP does.

you might find the laugh being at your expense, when you realise that its an outsourced service. I don't think so. Large corporations have strict guidelines and specifications that their vendors need to follow. These may include: * software with exact version * coding guidelines * documentation guidelines * brand guidelines for logo placements, selection of fonts, selection of colours etc. (Microsoft has a 3kg glossy printed book detailing each one of these) So, Microsoft, theoretically, has full control over what their vendors do.

I'm finding a little problem to get on with installation of the Sify Client for Linux,to get start for using Inet on my L-Box. I worked all the way as told by SIFY through the installation process.The installation was cool,but when i tried to access the script to start the client,it showed error asking for some file that it was not able to get. I 'm able to ping my GATEWAY and even access a web page on the local network of SIFY which provides clients for download. The same setting of Network are working fine on Windows.

[ilugd] Revoking/Objecting to Software Patents in Indian Patent Office
http://spicyipindia.blogspot.com/2007/09/spicyip-tidbits_23.html India, prima facie, does not allow pure software patents or business method patents. But that doesn't stop companies from trying. The Indian Patent Office is already being flooded with the patents described as A web based system to do XYZ or A computer system in conjunction with XY to do Z With no one opposing them (and not enough noise about this, like in the case of pharma patents), there's a high probability that this would get granted. Does anyone know of a concerted effort to keep this kind of cruft out from our country? Any pointers?

Re: [ilugd] Adding an image to Disclaimer on Outgoing e-mails
The final email shows up correctly in KMail and Thunderbird with the image being displayed after the disclaimer text, but not so in M$ Outlook. Well it comes as an attachment on M$ Outlook. You might want to read the following blog post. http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/604-navigating-the-html-email-jungle An excerpt: As I type this post I still can't believe it. I'm literally stunned. If you haven't already heard, I'm talking about the recent news that Outlook 2007, released next month, will stop using Internet Explorer to render HTML emails and instead use the crippled Microsoft Word rendering engine. An easy solution is to simply send an email from Thunderbird with an inline image and see if it opens properly in Outlook. If it does, just view the source and make sure your python script is generating *exactly* the same source. I've noticed that random stuff like not putting angular brackets cid:abc around the inline part name also causes some mail clients to barf.

Re: [ilugd] Dell joins Microsoft, Novell in Linux pact
That means, well, M$ is licensing the gnu/linux OS; which M$ cannot do unless it conforms to the GNU GPL, which means the viral clause in GPL applies to M$ patents!!! The clause refering to a royalty-free, non-discriminatory, licence to use any applicable patents is in GPLv3 and not GPLv2, IIRC. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: [ilugd] Opening up participation in ILUG-D decision making
Time and again, there have been expressions on this list that management decisions in ILUG-Delhi are taken behind closed doors. While I personally feel that ILUG-D is among the most open organisations that I have been a part of, and strongly resent such implications, there must be some truth behind this, as it has been expressed by many people. Hey Gora, I think it might simply be a case of 'do-ers' making the decisions. Which is good. If you (a) turn up for most of the meetings, (b) give a hand in organizing events (especially Freedel), (c) are an active face, your opinions should obviously have more weightage in the community rather than some lurker on the mailing list hell bent upon discussing pros and cons of GPL/BSD or Emacs/Vi or (insert favourite flame war here). Don't get bogged down by too much process. Get stuff done. Period. PS: Before I get flamed, there will always be cases when active people couldn't make it to a meet where decisions were taken, and they want to debate it on the list. I think everyone is sane enough to listen to the valid points on the list and alter decisions if it makes sense.

Re: [ilugd] Freed 2007 - Thoughts on the name?
we should always emphasize that fighting for freedom is a lifelong process - as they say Fighting to get freedom is not enough, we have to keep fighting forever to preserve it. that's why the name Free-d -- as in daemon (aka ftpd, telnetd, sshd). So it keeps waking up in intervals, fights for freedom, and goes to sleep :) Sorry. Couldn't stop myself :P Saurabh. -- http://nandz.blogspot.com http://foodieforlife.blogspot.com ___ 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] Kernel 2.6.15 and DEVFS
Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) and have custom installed the vanilla kernel version 2.6.15-1 -- I needed it for the SiS190 NIC driver. I couldn't find DEVFS anywhere in the kernel configuration menu. Adding the following lines to the '.config' file didn't work: CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y [I had picked up these lines from the config file of the standard Ubuntu kernel v2.6.12-9] Has devfs support been withdrawn from the kernel? While booting I get a lot of error messages regarding devfs not being mounted, but apparently my system is working perfectly. Will I face any problem without devfs on Ubuntu?

Re: [ilugd] ext3 file format
I am ready to shed my pockets for my emails, but i want someone real expert who can do it. Is anyone of you know a real linux recovery expert? Also, how much will he charge?? If e-mails (text only) is your primary concern I *think* the following solution might work: o You have run mke2fs on the corrupted partition o I am assuming that you have not yet written any fresh data on that partition o Which means that your data is still on the disk but is not logically organized in files and directories anymore o Run the following command on the partition and sift through *large* volumes of data to recover your mail root# cat /dev/hda7|strings|less Disclaimer: Please don't blame me if this doesn't work. In case it does, just pass on the 'pocket shedding' this side :-) HTH Nandz. -- http://nandz.blogspot.com http://foodieforlife.blogspot.com ___ 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/
