My question is if we were to order ubuntu hardy cd's would they incorporate these bug fixes or would they be the original release. thanks ram Nopes, the ShipIt CD is always the original release version.

[ubuntu-in] Airtel Broadband dialup howto?
Hi I have been looking around the web for quite a while now, and I can't seem to find any howto, about setting up Airtel broadband (with the ADSL 220BX modem), for those who have a limited connection. I have seen many howtos but all of them suggest changing the settings of the ADSL modem, so that it connects automatically on startup. My friend who needs this, cant do this since he has a limited plan, and wants to dial on demand, like he does on Windoze. I went through the Ubuntu help system, and found a way to use a ADSL PPPoE modem, but it didnt work. Is there anyone who uses such a system? I would be grateful if you share it on the list. I can then update the wiki page as well. thanks! pratul -- lut4rp = malloc (sizeof (pratul) dum vivimus, vivamus pratul.in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] [X-POST] Announcement: #hackers-india channel on Freenode
Greetings to all, This is a formal announcement about the creation of a new IRC channel, #hackers-india on the Freenode IRC network. The channel has been started to fill the void of a pure hackery-codery-programming based Indian channel. The need for such a channel was felt by me (and a couple of other hackers) during the programming discussions held on ##linux-india. We are hoping that the channel will go a long way in helping hackers around India during need-of-the-hour, as well as future summer-of-codes, hackathons, codefests etc. Some other details: - Purely white-hat channel, no cracking paid softwares, warez talks; AT ALL (read: instant permanent ban) - There is not restriction on programming language or even OS (yes, Windows users welcome :-) - Discussions falling under the categories of network/machine security, penetration testing etc. may be held on #security-india (also on Freenode, pre-existing channel) Feel free to post this mail to any other related list/website you might subscribe to.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Ubuntu on Apple Mac's
Also apple machines always come packed with latest technologies. For ex. they started shipping graphics cards with DVI output interface long time before other vendors. Macbook seems to be favorite among FOSS developers. Check photos from UDS on planet Ubuntu you will know what I mean. As for disadvantage they are overpriced in my opinion. And if you plan to run on linux you will have some binary only driver, mostly graphics card but you may need for wireless too. I would like some clarification on what Mr. Slytherin :) has written. Macs are favorites among FOSS developers, but do they use the machine with Linux or with OS X? I have no idea, but you might? And I agree they are grossly overpriced, but getting them from a reseller, rather than an Apple Store, its comes out much cheaper. --- e) getting the latest generations of apple ipod to work under gnulinux is not so much a technical issue, as apple's extreme reluctance to work with the FOSS community and allow fair enduser rights for all customers. Hmm, I must say Niyam's mail has compelled me to throw in my POV, considering the fact I am going thru my 4th sem exams. But what are you trying to say here? Trying to sync ipod with Linux (you know that's easy), or running a Linux-kernel on the ipod? (possible with Rockbox) so, in purchasing a macbook, do i wish to convey my support with dollars, to a company whose business practices are at times quite anti-customer? I have been going through this debate since the last 2 years now, and its the sole reason why I have stuck to my uber-cool desktop. But if I think, isn't M$ more anti-customer? They practically don't give a damn to what the consumer market says, Apple at least does that (I have seen Apple's OS and devices show drastic improvement after every iteration, most of the consumer grievances seem to be sorted out, yet they do keep a few cards to themselves) nevertheless, i do have a few points on why i feel compelled to purchase a macbook running ubuntu, ubuntustudio, and debian, for myself. I shall be grateful if you share some of those compelling reasons with me? I shall have those ready as arguments, when I face my parents :D Cheers!

Re: [ubuntu-in] wireless in Hardy
I had the same problem on my HP Pavilion tx1000, and I found a solution to it. I was upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, and I am not sure if this problem persists in a fresh Hardy install as well. - In /cdrom/pool/main/b you can find the deb for b43-fwcutter - Copy it to your disk and then run it. - It should ask Do I search for the driver myself?. Say no there. - You should recieve a prompt asking for the .o file of the driver. - get it from http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o (use XP :) - that should make your wireless run (at least it worked for me) If this doesn't work out, follow instructions from the start from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 Cheers Pratul -- dum vivimus, vivamus 70 72 61 74 75 6C http://pratul.in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Re: [ubuntu-in] [Ubuntu Bangalore Team] The Bangalore team is up and rocking..!
Another point, list is better than forum for a small community. Though the ubuntu india forums are up but one can see that there is not much activity. The reason is that forums work like a notice board. and notice boards work where there are large number of people and since community is not that big yet, members prefer straight talk which is best done through mail list. Oh no, thats not the reason the forums arent working! The reason is that we yet havent got a CNAME from the ubuntu-in.org domain administrators AND that there is no link from the Ubuntu India wiki home-page even saying the forums exist!

By forking it, I mean: -- getting a new IRC channel -- using the ubuntuforums.org forum, while the Ubuntu India forums also exist. You could have requested us to make a sub-category with as many forums for you, we would have been glad! -- using the ubuntu wiki for promotion as a separate LoCo team. I suggest use the Ubuntu India resources please. We have a wiki and a forum and an IRC channel as well. -- you can very well use tags (you are using Ubuntu Bangalore Team) in the mailing list so as to differentiate your mail. No need for a separate mailing list as well. You have a noble mission my friend! But using the right tools will help you in the long run as well. We want to help you in any way we can.

Re: [ubuntu-in] ubuntu India website redesign
1. Old team members feel that wiki is the way to go. I am one of them. New team members feel that some CMS like Drupal is the way to go. 2. Old team members feel we should use existing infrastructure and make Ubuntu-IN website as beautiful as possible. New team members feel that existing infrastructure is not flexible enough. 3. Old team members feel that there isn't enough contribution to content. New team members feel that old members are ranting. The new team members are not saying no-wiki! We want a mixed solution like the one that exists on ubuntu.com. A framework like Drupal will help us in the long run. A totally wiki based solution is too geeky. And I am sure we dont think that the old members are ranting. Its a critical overhaul and in the best interest of everybody, such a decision is bound to recieve all sorts of viewpoints! 1. The reason behind many pages being locked is a bot attack that happened long time ago. Please contact me on #ubuntu-in and I will unlock specific pages. I did not know that MediaWiki had insecurity to this level, or that the SysAdmins did not utilise the security to the max. Drupal is a highly-secure platform. I have never heard of a Drupal website under attack. 3. We are using very old version of Mediawiki, 1.5. So I think it is better to look into upgrade of the software to 1.7. This will enable us to install some plugins for calendar, captcha etc. Having a calendar is the most importanmt thing now. And having a captcha mechanism will prevent bot attacks in future. G0SUB please take up this task or provide us the necessary information needed for this upgrade. The members with the provision to access the server are not doing their part of responsibility. I looked up the version of MediaWiki on the Ubuntu india website. We are on 1.5 and the latest stable build is 1.11 4. This is call for new contributors to try using existing infrastructure. Let's say we try it for next 6 months. If it doesn't work out then we can consider other solutions. Nothing is going to change in 6 months, very sorry if I am being rude. It shall only add to the straining infrastructure. Even after few years of establishment, the community doesnt have many members. 5. Sine most of the old members are busy with their jobs and personal lives, I think it is time to pass on the admin rights to new members. We can have a meeting on this weekend on #ubuntu-in to decide who administrates what. Now thats a nice idea. I hope the senior members will take some step in this direction. We should have such a structure that people who feel they are not getting enough time can gracefully exit the admin responsibilities.

Re: [ubuntu-in] ubuntu India website redesign
Is drupal.org not a community site? Is spreadfirefox.com not a community site ? There are plethora of examples where community websites are running on a CMS based solution. Thats not all, the MTV UK website, the NASA Jobs website and Lifestyle TV website are also on Drupal. Drupal is an excellent framework for building highly scalable websites (read: personal to massive). If Mir Nazim is on the list, Mir, I remember you once suggested re-design using Drupal? One major reason for this is horrible navigation on the website. It was during discussion with Pratul that we realized the depth of content on the site and non-navigatability of the site. You are lucky if users stayed for minute and half. I normally would leave in half a minute. Bad navigation was more of an impetus than look and feel, for me to propose this redesign. Yeah, this was the MAJOR point of the discussion. All major wiki's I have seen have nice navigation. One of my all time favorites: The OSx86 project wiki (wiki.osx86project.org) One visit, and you have all the info you require in one-look on the index page itself. IMHO we do require an overhaul, but since I have been personally attached to Drupal for quite some time, I suggested it. And yes, there is no point denying that starting up a Drupal site is a little time-consuming, but then its same for every solution. If required I can setup a demo Drupal installation on my server, where we might try out a new-look Ubuntu India. What do you say?

Unfortunately, I just tried out the iitr.ac.in link also (if you try it out now add a www, or it gives a SERVER NOT FOUND error) and I find that it is as slow... Are you sure its on a new line?

Good luck! :) But ensure the forum has a sticky pointing to Ubuntu-In wiki and Ubuntu-In mailing list, with information about the Ubuntu-In team. You can also put up a small post on how to join mailing list, how to search through the archives before asking a question, etc. Ask people to refer to our archives and wiki as far as possible. Also give them links to ubuntuforums.org. Well then, thats that I guess. Of course I shall have links to all possible places in the Ubuntu-In world! After all, these will be the Official Ubuntu India forums (unlike ubuntu.co.in, which were unofficial). I shall make sure people search the wiki and mailing list archives before moving onto the forum. And, I truly hope we succeed in what have actually set out for... Go Ubuntu! Hail FOSS! Now, I shall need some suggestions as to what should be the format of the forums (even though i shall take some tips from the other international LoCo forums). So, please guide me as to how we can have a better forum board. Hearty thanks to everyone who participated in this discussion! - Pratul -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] mailing Lists or Discussion Forums (was Ubuntu India Forum - )
Hi, hi, hello people! I'm sorry, the man in question, the one who started this whole debate, that is ME (Pratul) hasn't yet participated in this discussion... ha ha! I did write to the list but i hadn't yet been verified, so the mail bounced back. So, i am writing this again... I'm sorry i couldn't register with the mailing list earlier... I was a little busy (my college fest coming up :) ) and it seems that i missed out a healthy discussion! But fear not! I have read the archives of the list, so i am up-to-date with what all has been said. Here's what i have to say: 1. I wanted a forum because of the primary ease in accessing them. One of our main goals in this community is to spread the use of FOSS like Ubuntu. I suggest somehow replacing/modifying the lists with the forum. I dont think a maiing list is that suitable for a country like India where people are still new to FOSS. Someone mentioned on the list that forums require a lot of bandwidth? Dont worry friend, I keep my DB optimised and believe me, they are quite fast. 2. The wiki is not a very good source of India-specific Ubuntu info. It does need to be updated. The IRC channel is way too unfamiliar to people in India. 3. We people (us who have been using Ubuntu for sometime now) aren't the ones that need support! Its the n00bs.. Again, let me stress the point, I have personally distributed over 100 Ubuntu CDs, and every time, people say Isme net chalega? Isme game chalegi? Iska user forum kahaa hai? I have to answer them Goto the wiki, Join the mailing list!. Every time, its the same reply, mailing list? forum nahi hai? XP ka vo forum hai na, xx.com, vaisa? Maybe we can get the point better now?? :) 4. BG provided 2 great ways to access the mailing list in an interactive manner, http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user.indian and http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com/ . I shall add these to the wiki. This answered some of the queries by people. 5. I say, lets keep the wiki for advanced documentation development work/geeky stuff, and the forums for basic/advanced support. The wiki can also act as super-important place where one should checkup before moving to the forums. 6. Taking the ubuntuforums.org example, they arent India-specific, they are monstrously huge, and many, many countries have resorted to their own mini-community forums. The ubuntu.com wiki, too is used for advanced devels only, so is the IRC channel. In fact, a check up at this URL, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList, shows very few LoCo teams that do not have forum. So... If i missed something, please point it out again. And, if anybody noticed, I did create the forums using SMF (thanks for the advice, VK) on http://ubuntu.techjugaad.com, till we get a URL. Thanks!
