If there isn't an alternative to tally, we will have to think over forming a group and starting a project like Tally. Let me know if there is alternative present or not?

Re: [ubuntu-in] How to connect to the internet ???
Try turning on your speaker phone button before dialing. I use same procedure to connect using my Tata Walky. #777 is tata's number. Are you sure is it the same number for Reliance?? Also Name server details might change. Once you are successful dialing It lists the DNS(name) servers it is connection through. Usually the output of wvdial defaults will overwrite th resolv.conf. If it doesn't then you have to edit the /etc/resolv.conf to have the correct name server names.ThanksRaj- Original Message From: Aman Mehta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.comSent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 6:52:55 PMSubject: [ubuntu-in] How to connect to the internet ???hi, I am using Ubuntu 6.0.06 LTS.

Re: [ubuntu-in] My Saga of upgrading Dapper to Edgy
Thanks Anurag for your feedback and suggestions. So far I installed it on 4 machines. I dont see any major issues. Except the a creative Webcam everything seemed to detect and work out of the box. Even the Wireless card/media keys/card reader on HP laptop seems to work fine. I also feel the best way to upgrade is dist-upgrade with little hassle. But its a single step process to keep all your existing settings. and upgrade to latest versions of your existing programs. You may encounter minor problems if you tweaked your system too much for custom kernels and go away from std repos.

[ubuntu-in] My Saga of upgrading Dapper to Edgy
Hello People, Let me share my experiences upgrading to edgy from dapper. I started off with downloading alternative install cd. After 24 hrs of downloading with around six disconnections with my stupid 128 Kbps internet connection. I somehow managed to complete the download. Later I burnt image to CD. To my horror I found Checksum mismatch. I thought I will take chances and tried updating using cd rom upgrade option. After caching 80% of the files it gave me error. I think this is due to broken download. Now I dont want to re download it again. I copied all the .deb present in the CD to /var/cache/apt/archies/ folder. By default all are read-only, So, I gave 777 permissions to all the debs in the directory. (Not sure if its the correct thing to do But my R&D shows this method actually works). Now I edited to /etc/apt/sources.lst to replace all instances of dapper with edgy and saved. Then Typed in the following command as per official guide sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Two instances of dist upgrade is required for upstart to install. Now I crossed my fingers and rebooted the system to discover that my x server crashed. That system was having a via graphics chip. After little googling with txt browser elinks I managed to find the fix. I just did sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg . One its done I rebooted again. I could have simply typed startx command. But Just to make sure I rebooted and every thing seemed to work fine.. All my old programs updated with our any issues. So that system is up and running. Now its time to upgrade my friends system. This time I took the .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archies/ folder of already installed system and repeated the process. This time it even got better. No X server issues also, This one was using Intel graphics chip. Finally time to update my NVIDIA graphics card system. I repeated the same process. This time it had to download some Nvidia-glx and some machine specific files and upgrade went very smoothly. No issues once I rebooted. It even enabled Graphics acceleration which I enabled in dapper version. Conclusions: 1. Best way to upgrade is to do a fresh install. 2. Use Bit torrent instead of download managers for better load balancing as well it will take care of checksum errors. And download the chunk that is corrupted due to network/ power outage. 3. Dont be afraid of recent posts about horrors of upgrading. Be little adventurous. 4. Many people say backup your important personal files. I dont see a reason to do it. At the most it will only screw up the x server or some device error. There is no way t can wipe out your hard disk. So, It is safe you continue with out backing up. Worst case you have to take out your disk and connect to some other running system and copy the files. 5. Is the Edgy is so bleeding edgy... I dont think so... 6. Observed little performance and GUI especially text display issues with Edgy. Suggestion: 1. Plan a weekend to do upgrade. 2. Dont panic its after all a computer. It is almost impossible to screw it up unless you intend to drop it from your balcony. 3. Please refrain from upgrade using dialup connection. (I have been trying from 2 days) 4. Have patience.

Re: [ubuntu-in] newbie in linux..
RealTek NIC cards suck on Linux. I think they are from from Intex. There was a lengthy Talk on Orkut Ubuntu India Community regarding this... May people complained about this... They never work fine on Linux. I suggest you to go for D-Link / any other NIC cards. D-Link even ships with Linux driver CD. Don't think you will ever need it anyways... D-link costs around 300rs. You can get a decent one for 200+. Linux supports almost 99% of Wired NIC cards.
