[ubuntu-in] How about a glade-gnome-3 tutorial?
Hi all, How about having a glade-gnom-3 tutorial, there is already a glade2 tutorial at http://www.kplug.org/glade_tutorial/glade2_tutorial/glade2_introduction.html. I'm just starting to understand how things work there, while being no programmer but just to make mockups. I can supply all the screenshots for the new version if somebody is willing to see if there are changes to be made in the tutorial with the introduction of glade-gnome-3 . Please pm me only if you are committed to seeing this through, giving attribution to the original authors & the site from where we took it, perhaps making it more cleaner, easier for everybody to use. -- Shirish Agarwal This work is licensed under the CCNSP 1.0 License.

Re: [ubuntu-in] How to Connect to internet using ADSL router in Ubuntu 7.04 ?
As Mehul told, the best way would be to connect via LAN port. There are 2 methods in ADSL. one is where you connect via LAN card and dialup in the machine. The other is where you give the dialup credentials in the ADSL modem itself. This method will be the most easiet one since the NAT, Default gateway and the DNS caching server is taken care by the modem itself.

[ubuntu-in] Rejuvenating the LoCo team
Hi, I don't know whether I should be saying this (considering I myself haven't been active), but I think ubuntu-in.org LoCo team is slowing down a bit. Going through the logs, it seems that the most popular article on our site is the year-old article that I wrote for SATA RAID on Dapper. It is sad that no major articles of note have been put forward in the last one year, apart from the Broadband and GPRS articles. I'd like to invite suggestions for revamping and improving the content on ubuntu-in.org website. Please note that when you put forward suggestions, you better be prepared to implement them yourself. ;) One aspect I'd like to see addressed at the website is that there are hardly any screencasts. I remember that people on the IRC channel were discussing about Istanbul sometime ago. What has been the progress ? Who can make a screencast on how to install and use Istanbul to make a screencast. :) Another one on getting 3D desktops, the Ubuntu way ? I'd also like to see people contributing tutorials on programming. Sun's J2EE stack is being shipped in Multiverse, who is the resident Java guru here who'll be doing an article/screencast on using that to get started ? How about a Django screencast ? Extend that with a screencast on adding AJAX to a sample Django application. Weren't some members of ubuntu-in working on some sort of 8086 simulator or something similar ? How about an article/screencast on that ? I'm throwing up ideas here. I'd like to hear what others have to say. -- Soumyadip Modak [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://soumyadip.freemind.in/blog -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
[ubuntu-in] How to Connect to internet using ADSL router in Ubuntu 7.04 ?
Hi all, This is Santam Chakraborty from Chandigarh. I have installed ubuntu 7.04 on my system ( dual booting with Win XP. I have a Tata Indicom Broadband connection using a ADSL router from Billion (BIPAC 5200 S). I have a permanent IP address. I tried to connect to the net using the networking program where I selected the option of static IP and then typed the IP address / Subnet / Gateway and also typed in the preferred DNS servers - however an internet connection didnot materialize. I then tried to see if I could use the ADSL connection method in the help file using "sudo pppoeconf" method. This also failed. I have also tried using DHCP as an option in the networking program but that also failed to work. I have used the same router based connection in freespire after just typing in the static IP/Subnet/Gateway and preferred DNS addresses provided to me by the ISP with minimal hassles. So I am pretty sure that I can use this connection in Ubuntu. I would be obliged if someone can give me the step by step method to get my net up and running as it is the only thing preventing me from moving over to Linux completely. Thanks Santam Chakraborty -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
