Where is the Space gone ??
by Francis 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

I installed Fedora Core 5 all worked well , got the latest version of Eclipse downloaded and it seems I have run out of space to extract it . I have the 3 questions : 1. how much space is alloted to each folder by default as the folders seem to show a free space value . 2. how do I resize the space alloted to the folders by default . 3. how do I check to see how much space each folder in / is using ?? here is the output of : df -a -H Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 8.8G 8.2G 95M 99% / proc 0 0 0 - /proc sysfs 0 0 0 - /sys devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts /dev/hda3 104M 18M 82M 18% /boot tmpfs 248M 0 248M 0% /dev/shm none 0 0 0 - /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc sunrpc 0 0 0 - /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs automount(pid1774) 0 0 0 - /net /dev/fuse 49G 47G 1.8G 97% /root/mydocuments /dev/fuse 22G 14G 8.1G 63% /c Cheers , Francis

Making Sendmail co-exist with ListManager
by Rohit V Bhute 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

We have installed Lyris ListManager on a Redhat AS 3 server. It uses ports 25 (for mailing) and 82 (for web-based admin). We also want to run Sendmail on this server so that mails can be sent using the PHP mail() function. How do we configure an alternative port for the Sendmail server? The second (major) problem is that the Sendmail user was deleted as part of hardening the system (since Sendmail was not need at the time). Now, we find that starting and stopping Sendmail is not smooth at all. The Sendmail client (sm-client) shows its status as "service stopped but subsys locked". Any hints/prods in the right direction are welcome. -- Rohit V. Bhute http://blog.rvbhute.org

by Sameer N Ingole 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hi, Just saw this: Biometrics for PAN The Income Tax department seeks inputs from organizations engaged in providing biometric solutions to ensure uniqueness of Permanent Account Number (PAN). http://incometaxindia.gov.in/archive/bio1907_19072006.doc Are there any companies that provide such solutions using FOSS in India? It might be useful for them. -- Sameer N. Ingole http://weblogic.noroot.org/ --- Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

I'll try and resolve dependencies, if any. I know, I am using way too old GNU/Linux. I plan to buy a new HDD next month and would be installing Fedora Core 5 and Kubuntu on it. Possibly, would be successful on dual booting. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know. Learn something new http://in.answers.yahoo.com/

Hi, Roshan wrote: > I have been searching for offline dictionaries.... > .... Is there something similar to "Word Web?" WordWeb is based on the WordNet project at Princeton. Take a look at http://wordnet.princeton.edu WordNet itself works cross-platform & there are various third-party GUIs available (a little googling will help), and APIs in most common languages if you want to roll your own.

Offline Dictionary
by Roshan 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hello List, I have been searching for offline dictionaries for Redhat Linux 9.0. I haven't been able to search one. By default, I have Kdict with KDE, but it requires an internet connection. Though, I should not be saying this, but in Windows, there is a software called WORDWEB that is free as in "free bear". Is there something similar to "Word Web?" __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know. Learn something new http://in.answers.yahoo.com/

HyperLinks to UNC Paths not working in Firefox
by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Infra, Energy) 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi everyone the problem is identical to this guy's post... www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t85763-unc-path-hyperlink-syntax.html If anyone can figure out the unbelievably precise solution, please enlighten me. I have a html page (served by ASP.NET.. that shouldn't matter right ;) ) which has a hyperlink to a UNC Share. so <a id="something" href="file://///WinMachine/Share/Dir1/File.ext">Text</a> I needed 5 slashes for Firefox. IE worked with some internal magic. Now here's the strange part. With the above syntax, the URL works in IE. It shows up in FireFox but doesn't work i.e. Click (nothing happens), right click menu (doesn't function). If I copy the link, open a new tab and paste it there, the Run_Or_Save dialog comes up (expected behavior) Next if I save the HTML locally and open it up in firefox, then the links work straight out of the page. Spent the last 3 hours to get this thing work identically in both browsers... I have already tried the checkloaduri thing mentioned here. No luck! http://jspwiki.org/wiki/FAQGeneral#section-FAQGeneral-LinkingToUNCPaths If anyone can help.. please do :) -- Gishu

Free Software Foundation of India is hosting the Fourth International GPLv3 Conference in Bangalore, this August 23-24, 2006. Please go through the mail in case you are interested in participating in the event. Anurag ----- Forwarded message from Arun M <arun(a)gnu.org.in> ----- Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 08:18:15 +0530 From: Arun M <arun(a)gnu.org.in> Subject: [Fsf-friends] Fourth International Conference To: Principal Support List of FSF-India <fsf-friends(a)mm.gnu.org.in>, fsf-press(a)gnu.org.in Reply-To: Principal Support List of FSF-India <fsf-friends(a)mm.gnu.org.in> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bangalore to Host the Fourth International Conference on GPLv3 India will host the Fourth International GPLv3 Conference in Bangalore, this August 23-24, 2006. A part of the world-wide drive to create awareness about the upcoming version three of the GNU General Public License (GPLv3), the two-day conference is expected to draw delegates from across the communities - legal, bureaucrat and academia. While the first day will see Richard M Stallman and Eben Moglen, the original architects of the GPLv3 license, communicating latest updates on the GPLv3 final draft, the second day holds panel discussions on localisation, awareness and adoption of GPLv3 and threat of Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). The event to be held at the Indian Institute of Management - Bangalore is a sequence to the Third International GPLv3 Conference that took place in Barcelona, Spain. Similar events have already been held in the USA and Brazil. The international GPLv3 conferences are part of a year-long public consultation process to update the GNU General Public License (GPL). The version 3 of the GPL, essentially, takes into account changes in terms of legal and technical environment, in which software licenses operate, and the need to increase protection against new threats such as software patents and Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). The worldwide awareness drive for GPLv3, is to ensure that, all users of software distributed under its terms, have the freedom to examine, share, and modify that software.
