In our March issue we are planning to run an article on Linus Torvalds,the creator of the Linux OS. The article says that over the years, Indians have helped Torvalds and a few continue to do so. I have copied below that part of the article. We would like to localize the article by adding a few lines on who these Indians are and how they have contributed to Linux. Would any of you be able to help us? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks a lot and best wishes for the New year.

Other Indians who have contributed indirectly to Linux include: * Debian developers: Manoj Srivastava, Anand Kumria, Vaidhyanathan Mayilrangam (and your's truly to a teeny tiny extent). Debian is the single largest effort to produce a free, volunteer driven distribution. * Indian Linux stalwarts: Atul Chitnis, Raju Mathur, Gurunandan Bhat etc. have contributed significantly to the popularization of Linux in India.

I have tried fixing the hard drive as primary slave(/dev/hdb) then there is no problem. The main thing to note is that when i put this HDD as secondary slave (/dev/hdd) there was not other device connected as secondary master.I feel that this may be the reason due which linux system did not boot.I used a boot floppy to boot the linux system. Can anyone give a solution to boot a linux system from a secondary slave drive when there is not secondary master device.

If u connect ur disk to the primary controller then I think there sholud not be any problem.If u connect to the secondary controller as slave we need to update lilo properly. Because we need to tell to boot.S where is our MBR and other stuff and we need to update the disk parameters properly.Because ur getting L at linux load time There are some steps to solve the problem.Two of them are put ur LILO(in the active partion )and update the LILO with the image info(boot.s) and take care about map files and put proper disk parameters in the LILO. To find out the reasons why it is not booting each device will have BIOS hex number using that number and u can the disk info using dosutils(DISKINFO). Please correct me If I am wrong. I am facing same kind of problem. I want put linux 6.2 on to flash memory(called sandisk). They given IDE bus to connect to the controller(It means it is IDE). But I am unable to put linux on the disk by making it as a secondary master. My strong feeling is that Do I really any separate BIOS to recognise this sanddisk?? How to solve this problem??

The problem I see in the CNet article is Mr. Mehta equating a few poorly run government websites with all of the internet infrastructure in India. Wee all been to govt. offices and /know/ how poorly they are run. A crappy govt. website running on a pockmarked 10-year-old copy of pirated Xenix != all the sites in India. It is also interesting how Mr. Mehta manages to raise the boogeyman of "pornography". Mr. Mehta should step out into the streets to see that pornography, in some cases subtle and in some cases garish is all around him in Real Life. Cinema posters with buxom actresses. Paan shops selling Debonaires etc. It is a fact of life. The solution is NOT to propose stupid solutions.

FN ANTI-PIRACY DEVICES IRK SOME DESKTOP USERS The Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) technology developed by major electronics firms to prevent music piracy over the Internet is sparking a backlash among Internet activists. If CPRM is ultimately installed on desktop computers, the technology could restrict users from making copies of their own files, activists say. CPRM's creators, which include Intel, IBM, Matsushita, and Toshiba, say the technology will not be installed on desktop computers, which is a problem in itself because users could still make illegal copies of music files on their PCs. However, activists believe that CPRM will eventually make its way onto the desktop at the insistence of the movie industry and other CPRM supporters. CPRM is designed to install a serial number in disk drives and flash memory. A digital music player would use the serial number to produce an encryption key for all data files on the device. The technology could be configured to prevent all attempts to copy files stored on the device.

I have been reading with interest the arguments being thrown back and forth between the average Joe and the Linux elite. The argument centers on whether Linux belongs on the desktop. Those in the average Joe camp argue that Linux needs to be easier before it will succeed on the desktop market. When asked why they figure the operating system is so difficult to use, the default argumentative response is that the command line interface is too cumbersome for most individuals and that editing system-related text files is too much to ask of the common user. Those in the Linux user camp then give the obvious response that command line interfaces take a bit longer to learn but pay back with speed. The Linux supporters also say that there is a multitude of GUIs for Linux. This is true, despite the fact that many go so far as to suggest that Linux does not belong on the desktop. For those individuals that adopt this second mode of thought, let me tell you something about Linux on the desktop. It's going to happen. Parallel Paths Since Linux was an incarnation that came about as a product of the Net, it has seen growth patterns similar to those in the Internet realm. Linux can be seen much like the Internet in terms of earning money, that is, as a service delivery model. No one earns money by selling Linux, they earn money by providing services for Linux users. (Except for Linux distributions sold in stores, where money is technically earned both ways, even though you can download their distributions anyway.) Linux is currently going through the same stages the Internet did. It started off as a geeks-only area, but some very smart companies -- IBM and so forth -- saw the potential for the OS, just like very smart companies -- Netscape -- saw the potential for the Internet. These companies are the ones that are going to bring Linux to the home user. This business method has much in common with those early adopters that brought the Internet to the home user. Linux will become easier to use because, like the early days of the Internet, the difficulty in using it turned off a lot of people. Companies like Netscape helped make the Net easier for the average Joe. This is similar to companies like Eazel who are currently working to make Linux significantly easier to use. Winding Roads I believe that in the future, a certain learning curve will of course be required for using Linux. That curve will be similar to the current learning curve required for the Net. A basic amount of information is required to use the Net. A person must of course understand what a browser is, what a www address is, what an ISP is, what a modem is, and so on. This same sort of learning curve will have to be traveled by the users of Linux. They will have to learn what a command line is, and they will have to learn about multi-user systems. Companies will attempt to make it simpler, but much like the Net, they can only make Linux simple up to a point where it can't get any simpler. By analogy, with the Net you need to know about Web addresses and ISPs, etc., but you do not have to get into the nitty gritty of it unless you want to. Linux will be much the same. People will have to learn basic things, but much like the Internet, the payoff is worth it. Quick Turns When I began thinking about this comparison, a thought occurred to me. Remember when the Net was first starting to get popular and Microsoft realized it was heading in the wrong direction? It was then that the software giant pulled off a quick-as-it-could turn into the right direction. As Linux continues to grow in popularity, it will be interesting to see how Microsoft will be able to reverse its direction and do so quick enough this second time around. Of course, the difference with Linux is that even if Microsoft manages to turn in time, there will be more than just one browser in competition. There will be loads of Linux distributions working against Microsoft that it will have to tackle. The primary question at hand is whether the company's vast resources will save them this time. What's Ahead? In the end, Linux will become an all encompassing OS that is relatively easy to use, and at the same time, remain a leader in those areas where it's pushed to its limits. The bottom line is that Linux is great for both newbies and powerful computer users, just like the Net is.

FROM www.linuxforkids.com *************************************************** Addpsx is a really nice random worksheet generator for calculations with one to four digits. Generates postscript output. Requires perl. Math Literature is a math quiz game with seven different levels. It goes from 2+4 to 564/189. Enough for all ages, 2 to 8 according to the author. Requires GTK+ 1.2. Anton is a very challenging math games. From the author: Anton is an arithmetical game. Combine six random numbers with basic operators (+,-,*,/) to come to a three digit target number. It has a graphical user interface written with the fltk library, and the program solves the problem itself too, to present the best solution.. Groundhog is a maze game, where you rotate the tiles of the maze to try to make the little colored balls go back in their respective colored cups. A lot harder that it seems. Codebreaker is a Mastermind clone. The computer picks 4 colors at random, and you must find those 4 colors and their positions in less than 10 turns. The difficulty levels change the number of possible colors (6, 7 or 8). Really great to get those brain cells working ! Update Sept 2000: The link above was changed, You can get the tar file from our ftp site. (Requires Gtk+). Cinderella is a commercial software that runs on multiple platform, including Linux. It is an "interactive geometry software". You can use it for Theorem demonstration, light reflection observation, prism effect theory, etc. The individual license is $55, a 30 seats license is $150. Could be useful in a classroom environment, and for older children. Linux Letters and numbers From the web site: "It is intended for children 2 and up, and is a fun learning game.

" Matritsa is a board game for children. ****************************************************************** EDUCATIONAL SPELLING SOFTWARE ****************************************************************** Review sent by Lalo Martins for the game Gcompris (June 28,2000). I just downloaded this great game, gcompris http://gcompris.sourceforge.net and now I have to bring my kids here to play it. It's one of those simple, silly things that catches kids from 3 on. I started playing it to test it, and when I realized, I was on level 32 and had to pause it to send this message. Of course older kids (us, who those who know no better would mistakenly call "grown-ups") will get tired of it soon, but before that you'll have played a lot. The premise is really simple, probably based on PalmOS(TM)'s Giraffe game; a lot of animal pics fall from the top of the window to the bottom, and you have to click on them, in the odd levels. After you click some animals you proceed to the next level. On the even levels there are letters instead of animals and you have to type the letter (caps lock on). All of you who actually have kids probably realized by now they could spend hours doing this. But the catch for "older kids" is: with each level, stuff falls faster. After you reach level 30 or something it gets challenging enough even for a hardcore tetris player. The best thing is, this is version 0.2, and the game has a nice API to add new level types. By 1.0 it will probably be an even cooler game. Download it. Play it. All kids in the house will enjoy it, including older ones. Kudos to the author. Sam Hart wrote a couple of days ago to tell us about his new game: TuxType. This is a typing tutor similar to typist or typespeed, where you have to press the key for the falling lettter before it reaches the ground. Nineword is a new game, where you have to create words of 4 or more letters from a group of nine. There is always a 9 letters word possible. Require Gtk+. Typist, as described by Freshmeat: Typist is a typing tutor package built using Curses. The package contains a number of tutorials, drills and practice sessions to help with mastering touch typing on the standard computer keyboard. The accent is on the US keyboard layout, but the lessons may also be useful with other layouts. A Dvorak lesson set is included. There are lessons for the Dvorak and Qwerty keyboards. with small and big caps, and some speed tests as well. The tarball extracts in the current directory, and is actually a set of more tarballs for binaries, source, lessons, and man page Typespeed is a neat little program that has words moving across the screen. It calculates your cps and tells you how good you are doing. You can pick general English words, or Unix commands word for Gnerudite, a scrabble clone for Gnome. Only one player so far, but it is playable. Comes with a dictionary, different background scenes. Counts points automatically, and you can return some or all your tiles and get new ones if you're stuck. Among the things in the works: saving a game to be finished later, and giving hints. Linux Letters and numbers From the web site: "It is intended for children 2 and up, and is a fun learning game. It helps younger children learn their letters and numbers, while older children will improve their spelling, and vocabulary skills. It also helps them develop important keyboard and mouse skills too.". Clicking on a letter or a number brings up a picture of something starting with that letter. Update February 22, 2000: The game now uses .wav file for sound to go with each pictures. Parents can add their own too. LFK's review: A nice game to learn your alphabet. Every time you press a letter or a number, a new window pops up with an image. The game picks the pictures from a predefined location. The pictures are associated simply by the first letter of their names. For example Apples.png and Ants.png for the letter A. You can add your own pictures. (Use The Gimp for that). If there is more than one picture with the matching initial letter, one of them is picked at random. Filenames start with a digit for the numbers pictures. xletters Type the words on the keyboard as they fall down the screen, and before they reach the bottom. (Scroll down the linked page to get to xletters) Across is a program to generate your own crosswords puzzles. ****************************************************************** FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING SOFTWARE ****************************************************************** Qvocab is a program to help you learn your foreign vocabulary. You can download words file from the author's site or create your own. Uses MySQL if you have it, but not required. The program has five levels of progression. Wrds that you know well move down, while words that give you problem move up, so you can work on the ones you really need to. Requires Qt, and Qt-devel to build. Japanese WordMage is a Japanese and multilingual word processor, HTML editor, and Kanji dictionary. Comes with the Kanji fonts, so you don't need to install anything special. Commercial software, the full license is $79, free demos are available on the web site. Lingoteach is a new tool to learn a foreign language. It is an early release (hence the B rating), but already has support for a dozen languages. Right now, it can only teach a few common phrases such as "How are you" and "Excuse me", but the structure is such that thousands of entries are possible. It runs on Java. If you have RedHat, You can get the kaffe package that came with it, otherwise you can get it from blackdown.org or from Sun. Looks very promising. Compjugador is a Spanish verb conjugator. Runs on the console or with Gnome. We tried the Gnome version, and it seems to work fine (at least for the Spanish verbs that we know !). Note: make sure you have the gnome-libs-devel. package installed. Correcteur is a french grammar checker. The web site is in French, and the software is shareware, with a CA$20 registration fee. ****************************************************************** SCIENCE ****************************************************************** gTempConv is a is a little perl/gtk temperature converter (Celsius, Fahreneit, Rankin, Kelvin and Reaumur).

You can see on the side window what molecule you have to build, and how the atoms are supposed to be connected. However, getting them in the right position is tricky ! Requires Gtk. Xplanets is a new, simple solar system simulator. You can fly a spaceship around, although not very easily. Since it behaves like an object in the solar system is supposed to, you will have to make sure you apply the right acceleration ... Requires Gtk. LOGO is a wonderful tool for children to learn programming. They will like the little "turtle" that moves around on the screen according to their commands. There is a Unix version, developed by Brian Harvey. There are also versions for Windows and Mac, so LOGO source code can be used anywhere and shared among platforms. There is a Logo Foundation with tons of additional links. We got the Unix version from Harvey's site, but unfortunately it wouldn't compile on our system. The source will compile under Slackware, but RedHat users will have to modify a few lines of code, so we recommend you get the RPM package. Since there are packages that install without a hitch, and thanks to the author's great support for his code, LOGO gets an We used rpmfind and found an RPM package for LOGO. It's the same Berkeley version, repackaged by somebody else. HitchHicker, an "astronomy visualization program". I assume it is a reference to "The HitchHiker's guide to the Galaxy", which by the way is a great book. Now if I just could find time to get the telescope out of the garage ... A solar system simulator called SSystem. It requires Mesa and Glut, so we haven't had a chance to test it yet, but the screen-shots look impressive. We'll get the Glut package as soon as possible and give you a review.

The list is for cypherpunks in India, and for those who want to track the convergence of cryptography, politics and society here. As you know, I volunteered to organise cypherpunks fleshmeets in Bangalore a few months ago. We had an initial meet with some hoopla, along with the Linux-India monthly meet in Bangalore. Public meetings, however, have not happened since then (as opposed to the private meetings and interactions - you know who you are.). It's been difficult co-ordinating with people, who are mostly madly busy and geographically distributed throughout India. This list, therefore, is a first step towards giving some structure to the various behind-the-scenes interactions we've been having, and to spread awareness of crypto and how it impacts commerce and politics today. The list is kindly hosted by Vipul Ved Prakash, who needs no introduction to crypto observers here. Vipul also hosts http://munitions.vipul.net - which is an archive of crypto software that is mirrored across multiple locations. Vipul also was one of the finalists in the 3rd Annual Obfuscated Perl Contest with his dimunitive implementation of the Russian GOST algorithm. To subscribe, use any ONE of the following URLs: In the next few days, as things evolve, we will put up some more information at the URLs above. Thanks for all your support, and see you on the list!

GPL does not allow relicensing. IIRC, BSD is the only license that allowes relicensing under a different license.

That's what GPL tells you. IANAL, but some lawyers say that it is hard to prove in a court that your software is a "derived" work of the GPL'ed library. In other words, the "correct" answer will be known, when it is tested in a court. -Arun From linux-india-general-owner@lists.linux-india.org Fri Jan 5 12:45:08 2001 Received: from alice.bombay.retortsoft.com (unknown [203.94.235.74]) by www.aunet.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 89E1C4A00D for ; Fri, 5 Jan 2001 12:43:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from jediland.home.retortsoft.com (jediland.home.retortsoft.com [192.168.111.33]) by alice.bombay.retortsoft.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA29664 for ; Sat, 6 Jan 2001 02:17:18 +0530 Received: (from binand@localhost) by jediland.home.retortsoft.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id CAA03341 for linux-india-general@lists.linux-india.org; Sat, 6 Jan 2001 02:04:21 +0530 Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 02:04:21 +0530 From: "Binand Raj S."

If you have a moment to spare, could you kindly let me have your comments on: (i) What are the lessons of Linux in India, briefly, that might be useful for other South Asian countries, including Pakistan? (ii) Would Linux be as useful in other South Asian countries, as has been the case in India? (iii) Anything else you feel which might be of interest to a South Asian audience, outside of India... Please mention your age and profession too (alongwith the city/area where you are located) as this would help to add some personal-colour to the article. Thank you very much.

Local police launched a sting operation after a tip-off from the public that stolen software was being sold from the house of Farouk Shah and his son Yasin Mohamed. Information found at the house led police to raid two more computer dealers in Johannesburg. Software with a value in excess of 12 million rands was confiscated. "The goods that were sold were previously taken off the shelves of Microsoft service providers and were destined for destruction," said police spokesman Gert Swart. "They were then by some means taken from the firm that was supposed to destroy them and resold to different merchants," he added. Police said they suspected that a syndicate was behind the scam, which may have included employees of the disposal company making available the goods, which were then resold by computer dealers at very low prices. Unsuspecting buyers would not have known they were buying illegal software as the packaging and all other marks would have still been intact. Mohammed appeared in court on Thursday and was released on bail of 750 rands. Shah was still in detention Thursday evening. "When products are discontinued and they can't be used or sold, they are often destroyed," said Microsoft South Africa head Mark Reynolds. "But they are supposed to be destroyed under controlled circumstances," he added. Reynolds said Microsoft would leave it to the police to handle the matter. The newest case comes close on the heels of another major one between Microsoft and a South African Indian computer wizard living in the same area, which resulted in an out-of-court settlement. Mohamed Cassim, former chief executive officer of Casey Investment Holdings, a black empowerment company in the information technology sector in South Africa, was accused of dealing in pirated and illegally obtained copies of Microsoft software. Cassim resigned from the company after issuing a statement denying that he had traded in illegal software, but the company paid Microsoft 75,000 rands as settlement and distanced itself from Cassim's statement. Microsoft also acquired audit rights on the company's sales for the next three years and undertook to sell Microsoft products legally.

A mailing list such as Linux India is one where people of diverse backgrounds, geographical locations and temperaments exist. You cannot expect a huge mass of people to all be your definition of polite. When you have such a large collection of people, tempers are bound to flare. I am not going to question your decision to unsubscribe from the list. But by saying something like "I'm not on the list because you people flame. But please Cc me in your reply because I want to know the answer neverthless" you are implying that those who /do/ subscribe to the list are lusers. Not a very polite thing to do, if you ask me.

There are 2 seprate HDs on this system. I have created raw disks to install the guest OSs. Win98 is installed as a guest OS on one raw disk (/dev/hda5). The problem now is with LILO. I have installed LILO on my /dev/hda MBR. Each time I power on the VMWare, it goes to the LILO prompt. So I modified the lilo.conf to provide Win98 as an option. At the VMWare LILO prompt I select Win98 and then Win98 starts fine. In the current LILO configuration, I have: boot=/dev/hda Can anyone recommend a better LILO and/or VMWare configuration? I prefer that VMWare not to prompt me for the guest OS. I plan to install other Guest OSs on other HD (/dev/hdb). How will the "boot" directive in lilo.conf, direct to the other guest OSs on /dev/hdb1 or /dev/hdb2 etc? Thank you in advance.

Basically, you do: mkdir "$(perl -e 'print "x" x 768')" I.e. create a very long directory. The name doesn't seem to be of relevance (we found this out by doing mkdir "$(cat /etc/hosts)" for other tests). This works. The next ls (or echo *) command will segfault and the kernel oopses. all following accesses to the volume in question will oops and hang the process, even afetr a reboot. reiserfsck (the filesystem check program) does _NOT_ detect or solve this problem: Replaying journal..ok Checking S+tree..ok Comparing bitmaps..ok But fortunately, rmdir works and seems to leave the filesystem undamaged. Since a kernel oops results (see below), this indicates a buffer overrun (the kernel jumps to address 78787878, which is "xxxx") inside the kernel, which is of course very nasty (think ftp-upload!) and certainly gives you root access from anywhere, even from inside a chrooted environment. We didn't pursue this further. The best workaround at this time seems to be to uninstall reiserfs completely or not allow any user access (even indirect) to these volumes. While this individual bug might be easy to fix, we believe that other, similar bugs should be easy to find so reiserfs should not be trusted (it shouldn't be trusted to full user access for other reasons anyway, but it is still widely used).

Hello, I am not sure, what are the means of determining this currently, but I have a suggestion. Maybe Linux India should have a simple web form where users can register their linux machines. I remember doing this sometime back, about three years back, on a foreign site, where they were counting users of Linux worldwide. Then, PC Quest could be requested to carry a link to this site, when they carry the next linux distribution. That would give a rough estimate of the users.

According to Bijon Mehta, Microsoft India isn;t interested in giving educational discounts. However Microsoft allows companies which donate PC's here in the US to leave th software on, so PC's which get shipped to India will have (licensed?) MS softawre Karnataka to become a Zero Piracy State . Karnataka Home Minister Mr Mallikarjun Kharge has assured MNC software suppliers that the state would be a "Zero Piracy State" by next year and a "Multi Pronged Strategy" is being drafted for the purpose. As could be expected the strategy seems to revolve around "Strengthening the law by amending the Criminal Procedure Code". The declared objective for this exercise is to attract investment in the state by Software producers. Obviously, it appears that this assurance is a pre-condition imposed by some MNCs to increase their investments in the State. It is obvious that the "Multi Pronged Strategy" would basically focus on more "Raids". However, if one recalls the raid on Radiant Software Training centers last month, it appears that the so called strategy could degenerate into unleashing a "Raid Raj" in the state. The Radiant Raid resulted in two innocent employees of the branch being put behind bars for a couple of days. It is also alleged that the EIPR authorities first raided the branch along with some private security personnel and manhandled the employees. The Police appears to have arrived later. It is also reported that the arrested employees were put along with ordinary criminals in the jail and made to undertake menial jobs. The experience has been shattering for both the arrested employees and their families and the responsibility for such ill-treatment lies with the Police and EIPR. If this is the way Software Piracy would be eliminated in India, several IT Employees and their families will have to cool their heels in prison for crimes not committed by them. The first important distinction that the Police and Judiciary should make is to distinguish between "Software Piracy" and "Violation of Copyright license terms". Just to strengthen their case and create dramatic scenes, the Police have a tendency to book cases of "Copyright Violations" as "Piracy" or "Cheating" as they have done in the Radiant Case. I would like any police officer to justify why it was necessary to arrest the managers of Radiant's training managers to investigate the case after the assets had been seized. Can the Police give an assurance to the public that such extreme actions would not be taken for copyright violations? Can Mr Kharge assure the IT Industry that his Police force would not indulge in such actions? If not, the public and the IT industry have to be worried with what is in store for them when the drive for "Zero Piracy State" starts. Every executive in every company will have to now ask his management to give him a personal letter of assurance that any software running on his desk top computer has been duly licensed and he would not be personally responsible for any copyright violations. This in turn would make every CEO and CTO liable for action in the event of any dispute such as say- "a license meant for 186 computers in a company was used on the 187 th machine without extension of the license. " Such CEO s and CTO's will have to carry "Anticipatory Bail" orders against arrests at all times. While appreciating the need for stopping "Software Piracy", the attention of the Government should however be drawn to long term strategies to make Piracy un economical to both the "Pirate" and the "Consumer". The industry has seen a dramatic reduction of pirated copies of Windows since its prices were brought down. The continuation of piracy in other software is to a large extent a result of unreasonable pricing by manufactures. Prices are being determined by them based on their costs and profit requirements rather than the utility value of the software. For example, how many home users can justify the need to buy a Office 2000 paying say around Rs 20,000 which is the cost of the entire hardware system they have bought?. Most offices would find it uneconomical to buy software at such costs. One solution to this is to encourage ASP model of using application software provided the software manufactures don't prohibit such usage. The other more durable solution is to encourage "Competition" so that the market forces would force the prices down. We would like the Government to consider such strategies. For example, consider the case of Karnataka Government. A large part of its requirement would perhaps comprise of word processing in Kannada. Has the Government used or contemplated using the "Baraha" word processing software developed by a Kannadiga and distributed freely by one Mr Sheshadri Vasu?. Have they ever considered the value of such contributions and tried to honour such individuals and encourage them to undertake further R & D to develop the software to meet the full requirements of Kannada administration? Have they evaluated use of "Star Office" or many other low or nil cost substitutes for Microsoft office? Similarly, there are many indigenous entrepreneurs who are developing or are capable of developing application software that can bring down the cost of other "premium" software products that may be marketed by MNCs. Has there been any concerted efforts by the Government to identify such prospects and encourage them?" Has there been any scheme to identify potential Indians in USA, who can develop alternate operating systems or application software with the assurance that Indian Governments would fund the R&D? (After all, there has been no major software product in the world where an Indian is not involved in development.) .....these are some of the questions that indigenous entrepreneurs would like to ask the Governments while discussing the long term strategy for eliminating "Software Piracy". I urge the Karnataka Government to lead the Indian States in setting up a "R&D Fund" to support indigenous efforts to produce branded software applications (compatible with global standards) and make them available at affordable costs to the masses.

Most likely some of the libraries have corrupted or got deleted. That's one occassion when you get the message "You don't exist anyway. Go away". appears. I've seen this many times while I was preparing a Linux bootable menu-driven installation floppy & finally tracked down to some missing libraries. I basically used 'strace' for this. Another reason is that your rc files are tampered. When you restart the system, what is happening ? Are you getting any error messages ? * Are you able to login as non-root & work properly ? * What exactly is the error message (if any) that u get while booting the system ? * Read-Only ?? Does this happen everytime you restart ? In which case you can remount as mount /dev/hda? / -o remount,rw Sreeji From linux-india-general-owner@lists.linux-india.org Sat Jan 13 02:05:54 2001 Received: from inbound.satyam.net.in (unknown [202.144.76.6]) by www.aunet.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 285CD49FDE for ; Sat, 13 Jan 2001 02:05:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from systron (210.214.212.202) by inbound.satyam.net.in (NPlex 4.5.051) id 3A52BC92000D5C1B; Sat, 13 Jan 2001 07:12:23 +0000 Message-ID: <004201c07da1$cb1791a0$0500a8c0@systron> From: "naveed" To: Cc: , References: <20010112055009.9752.qmail@web109.yahoomail.com> Subject: Re: Unable to Boot From /dev/hdd Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 12:36:16 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 X-Archive-Number: 200101/83 X-Sequence-Number: 1025 dear imtiaz aas salaam vaikum the prob u r facing i faced the soln is the linux boot should be within the 8 gb of ur hdd that means 1023 cylinders. the first or boot partition should be in the first 8 gb of hdd try this. good luck naveed quadri ----- Original Message ----- From: "Imtiaz" To: Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [LIG] Unable to Boot From /dev/hdd > are you people talking abut a extra hard disk or is > this discussion abut booting from a CD..

(0)root@myhost:/~# fdisk /dev/hdc The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2646. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help) (0)root@myhost:~/ The disk partitions at the begining of the disk are Linux ext2 filesystems. Four partitions at the end of the disk are FAT16/msdos. The DOS partitions have been defined in /etc/fstab but at bootup time, these file systems are not getting mounted. I cannot even mount them manually. When I tried to mount them, mount -t auto /dev/hdc5 /msdos then the filesystem is mounted as a ext2 filesystems. When I try to mount them as msdos filesystems, mount -t msdos /dev/hdc5 /msdos then the following message appears: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc5, or too many mounted file systems The goal is to create a raw partition for VMWare on the /dev/hdc5 partition and install NT over it rely on M$ systems. How can I create raw partitions for VMware on large HDs and mount them? Thank you in advance.

The above message comes from wall() which is called in shutdown.c uid = getuid(); if ((pwd = getpwuid(uid)) == (struct passwd *)0 && (uid != 0 || fromshutdown)) { fprintf(stderr, "You don't exist. Go away.\n"); exit(1); } Since here, fromshutdown is 1, it must be that getpwuid(uid) is returning NULL. maybe the uid of root is not 0, and there is no user with uid 0 Best of Luck... and Enjoy Life... -- #!!!

"If you find yourself missing the downtime, cut out and tape to monitor," the adjacent boxed text recommends. Towards the bottom of the page we find the cheerful slogan, "Goodbye blue screen; hello reliable Microsoft." ('At last,' we're tempted to add.)

Red Hat 7.0 First Edition for Intel not patched for LPRng. Systems not known to be vulnerable: Red Hat 7.0 for Intel Second Edition (Respin). Previous versions of Red Hat Linux. Non-Intel versions of Linux. Non-Red Hat versions of Linux. Any other versions of Unix. Additional Information: Ramen does not attempt to hide its presence or clean up after itself. It can be detected on a system by the presence of the directory /usr/src/.poop or by the presence of the file /sbin/asp. To remove the Ramen Worm from your system, follow these steps: 1. Delete: /usr/src/.poop and /sbin/asp. 2. If it exists, remove: /etc/xinetd.d/asp 3. Remove all lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit which refer to any file in /etc/src/.poop. 4. Remove any lines in /etc/inetd.conf referring to /sbin/asp 5. Reboot the system or manually kill any processes such as synscan, start.sh, scan.sh, hackl.sh, or hackw.sh. 6. ISS recommends that ftp, rpc.statd, or lpr are not enabled until updates have been installed. Due to the general-purpose exploits at the core of this worm, it is advisable to implement the following safeguards to prevent successful attacks from potential variations of this exploit. Disable FTP if it is not a required service. FTP provides information that can be exploited to identify vulnerable systems, even when FTP is not vulnerable. Do not permit outside network access to RPC services, including NFS. Do not permit outside network access to LPR services. -- Got something to say? Subscribe to tamil.com e-mail discussion forums!

No it isn't, which is why the Library GPL exists in the first place, and why most [GPL] libraries are actually under the Library GPL.

It's still possible that some other kernel contributor will sue the closed source guys. Read some of Alan Cox's comments on LKML. Linus rejects patches to linux kernel which add an API solely for the sake of a closed source module. Linus and GPL world's primary way of fighting closed source extensions is to not have a unchanging API. It keeps moving all the time. While this meets certain political goals, it also compromises some technical benefits. -Arun From linux-india-general-owner@lists.linux-india.org Sat Jan 20 05:06:41 2001 Received: from cardioemail.com (unknown [206.103.12.132]) by www.aunet.org (Postfix) with SMTP id E89614A205 for ; Sat, 20 Jan 2001 05:06:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from harddisk.tamil.com ([206.103.12.134]) by cardioemail.com ; Sat, 20 Jan 2001 18:55:08 +0530 Message-Id: <5.0.2.1.0.20010120184013.00a158b0@206.103.12.131> X-Sender: diwakerr#pop.mail.yahoo.com@206.103.12.131 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0.2 Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 18:42:04 +0530 To: linux-india-general@lists.linux-india.org From: "Diwakar - tamil.com" Subject: Fwd: Underground: Hacking, Madness and Obsession...

Circa 97, I was using autofs, because it was more compatible with the Solaris servers.

(part of the standard redhat distribution, this will provide you a pop server too) To see if you already have it, use "telnet localhost 110" Now, the way Arvind mentions edit /etc/inetd.conf (for Redhat 6.0 +) to uncomment the pop server line and also make sure you are running pop service at port 110.

Is linux-india.org doing something as far the distribution is concerned. and at what price?

I am using software raid1 with scsi disks. I also compiled raid1 and scsi support and aic7XXX driver for adaptec scsi card in a kernel (not as a module). Then I made a initrd image and change the configuration in lilo.conf specifying boot image and initrd image. Now I am unable to boot from this new kernel. It is unable to mount the root partition. The problem comes after scsi disks detection. The problem is as follows: kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root from 09:01 oops! md1 not running, giving up! Bad md_map in ll_rw_block EXT2-fs unable to read super block. Invalid session number or type of track Today I solved this problem with compiling redhat kernel source code (2.2.16-22 kernel) with raid, aic7xxx drivers as modules and making initrd. As redhat kernel source code supports autodetecting raid, I can boot my system. I also tried 2.2.18 kernel but it also doesn't support the autodetecting the raid devices. Can any body explain about any patches by which I can et support for autodetecting the raid on boot using md driver. Please help me!!!

If you want to use a kernel from Linus, or not from a major Linux vendor grab mingo's raid patch. Linus doesn't like this patch as it isn't backwards compatible with really old raid configurations. If Red Hat's 2.2.16 works for then mingo's patch will work. ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mingo/raid-patches/ PS- Software raid support is broken on P-III's in 2.4.0. I'd guess it's an issue with MMX optimizations. It seems to work on PII, and various amd chipsets. I've not tried the 2.4 sw-raid suppotyin a meaningful way yet, -- Solving people's computer problems always requires more hardware be given to you. (The Second Rule of Hardware Acquisition) Samuel J.

Security Advisory Subject: password sniffing in kdesu Advisory number: CSSA-2001-005.0 Issue date: 2001 January, 23 Cross reference: ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description KDE2 comes with a program called kdesu that is used to run certain administration commands under the account of the super user (for instance, every time the KDE control center asks you for the root password, you actually talk to kdesu). There is a bug in kdesu that allows any user on the system to steal the passwords you enter at the kdesu prompt. 2. Vulnerable Versions System Package ----------------------------------------------------------- OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 All packages previous to kdebase2-2.0-6 and kdelibs2-2.0-6 Note that you are not vulnerable if you didn't install the KDE2 update. 3. Solution Workaround: There is no real workaround for this bug, and the following is _not_ a permanent solution to the problem; this is merely a temporary solution until you have installed the update. As the super user, create directories in /tmp that have the same name as the socket used by kdesu: mkdir /tmp/kdesud_UID_0 where UID ranges over all user IDs of users on your system. Note that the trailing 0 is the display number, so if you run several X servers on your machine, you need to repeat the process for display 1, 2, etc. In order to protect just yourself, the following will do the trick: mkdir /tmp/kdesud_`id -u`_0 The proper solution is to upgrade to the fixed packages. 4.

That is installed redhat 7.0 + Windows NT+ Windows 2000 on a single machine. I can understand this is rather weird to install Nt and 2000 on the same machine since 2000 is but NT. However, there's a friend of mine (hard to convince :) ) who wants it this way. So, I was just wondering if someone could tell if he's done this before. Sure windows NT and linux will work alright togather. However, if someone can educate me on installing win2000 also on the same machine, it would be great.

NCST is working on enabling Linux in Indian languages, a development which needs to be whole-heartedly encouraged and supported. Linux may have its limitations as a desktop Operating System, but I feel that it can be a blessing for developing countries where average per capita incomes can be below the cost of the Windows OS itself!

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign officials announced that the institute would soon introduce 600 IBM computers running Linux. The computers will compose two clusters, each with processing power 2,000 times greater than a desktop PC. Meanwhile, Kemper Insurance reports that its Web site has yet to go down since the installation of a Linux operating system. Linux proponents say the software, created by Linus Torvalds 10 years ago, is very cost-effective, because users do not have to pay licensing fees. Also, because the code is open to all, users can modify it to fit their specific needs and can also catch bugs that may have gotten past the original developers.

If you ask me, I'd say it's LAMP. Lamp is the acronym for Linux + Apache + MySQL + (PHP | Perl | Python). Other popular open source applications such as BSD and PostGreSQL are sometimes added to the formula. However you spell it, LAMP is a very popular web platform that you may already be using for web serving. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I announce ONLamp.com, O'Reilly Network's new web site devoted to the LAMP technologies. We have always had strong ties to those technology areas, but this new site allows us to expand our Linux coverage and create one place to learn everything you need to know about building high performace web sites. To help promote the new site, I'll be at the LinuxWorld Expo in NYC next week. If you are attending the show, stop by the O'Reilly Network booth (139), and say hi.

My current thinking on this issue - how to make no cost software (note the absence of other adjectives) most useful to people is: write a lot of free software using cross platform APIs - primarily targeted towards windows users who make up 90+% of the computer users. This, IMO will serve some of the ideological views (free software for education, high school kids, localized stuff etc) expressed here a lot better than a Linux only solution. -Arun From linux-india-general-owner@lists.linux-india.org Sun Jan 28 19:00:39 2001 Received: from hotmail.com (f300.law7.hotmail.com [216.33.236.178]) by www.aunet.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 447964A057 for ; Sun, 28 Jan 2001 19:00:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Sun, 28 Jan 2001 18:56:48 -0800 Received: from 206.14.135.166 by lw7fd.law7.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 29 Jan 2001 02:56:48 GMT X-Originating-IP: [206.14.135.166] Reply-To: ruchir@acm.org From: "Ruchir Tewari" To: linux-india-general@lists.linux-india.org Subject: Linux mirrors in India ?

I have installed Win98 SE first, Then WinNT4.0 Workstation and then Win2000 Professional and then Suse Linux 7.0. All are happily co-existing.. I use 98 SE for normal work, NTand 2000 for Internet surfing, Linux for hacking and programming.. I use a 20.4 GB Samsung Spinpoint HDD...Chipset Intel 440BX2...Motherboard.. First i made only a Primary partition and then installed 98se on it.. Then i made an NTFS partition next to it in an extended partition and installed NT 4.0 workstation on it.. Then i made a logical partition (FAT32) for my software.. I then proceeded to install Linux. For Linux i made 3 partitions: SWAP ==>120 MB /BOOT ==>250MB / =====>4.XGB I had to make the /BOOT partition before the 1024 cylinders. Otherwise my linux WILL NOT BOOT.. BUT THE / PARTITION CAN BE ANYWHERE..After installing LINUX ( I experimented with Mandrake 7.0, RedHat 7.0, Suse7.0---all the results will be same), I went to fill up the remaining space with logical drives..Then i installed 2000 on one of those logical drives separately.. So here is how it boots.. First LILO ==>THEN NT BOOT LOADER==>THEN A MENU CONSISTING OF NT2000 NT4.0 WINDOWS 98 will be popped.. I have to select the appropriate one..That is all.. However i used Partition magic 6.0 for all of this.. It considerably simplified my job.. But i have also done the same thing using the freeware utility PART by Micheal Ranish ( sorry if the spelling is wrong).. With PART the job is a little more difficult, but not impossible to accomplish.. ANy doubts...
