Re: [ILUG-BOM] install apache on ubuntu 9.04 problem
by Pratik Anand 16 Nov '09

@RS singh is there any problem with your internet connection? check out your system's network proxy.. If you are behind an ISA proxy then you might have to use NTLMAPS for requesting net access for your linux applications. Moreover, if you can't find apache2 , better option is to install it via automated process. try following: sudo tasksel then choose LAMP from the list and hit OK.. it will install Apache with all dependencies and configurations.

[OT/HW] KVM support in Aspire 5542/Aspire 3810T
by Arun Khan 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

Good day list members, In my search for a notebook with a CPU that supports either Intel-VT or AMD-V, the list has narrowed down to: a) Acer 5542 (AMD Athlon M300) b) Acer 3810T (Intel SU3500 ULV) Even though the CPU supports VT, the BIOS may be b0rked by the manufacturer (i.e no VT setting as in a brand name starting with V...) I would appreciate feedback/comment from anyone who has used either of the above models and verified that VT can be enabled through BIOS and that the kernel loads the respective KVM modules. TIA -- Arun Khan

Knoppix 6.2- Looking for translations
by Siji Sunny 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hello All, Knoppix 6.2 is going to release soon.Before that they are looking for the translations of index.html (basic introduction about knoppix) in all possible languages.One of my firend is taken care of Hindi.Anybody else interested in other languages pls in touch with knopper. debian-knoppix(a)knopper.net .I will provide the index.html file offlist. ---- Knoppix 6.2 is now ready for uploading, but as a last, tiny missing detail, I would like to re-add the short and (outside of the compressed image) "windows-readable" information that was present on Knoppix versions prior to 6.0. I have the german and english version ready (it's really not much text, just the basic info), but would like to bring the other languages into sync with the updated text again, too. I could need a little help here. This just applies to index_en.html, the cheatcodes should still be OK if they just stay in english (or not?). Whoever is reading this list and would like to provide a translation for his or her language, is cordially invited to do so. The text license is Creative Commons unrestricted distribution with Modifications Allowed (also for derivates). You can add your name as translator below the title, maybe with a contact email address, if you like to do so. To avoid duplicate work, please post the translated html, or at least a preliminary "working on it [language]" to the list. The translations present in Knoppix 5.3 were: DK ES FR IT JP NL RU but other languages are welcome, too, of course. We would like to release Knoppix 6.2.0 as soon as possible, but incoming translations after the release date can of course be published on the mirrors, the Knoppix website at knopper.net, and in later Knoppix versions as well, so, no real need to hurry right now. The translations which are present before the release, will be added in time. With kind regards -Klaus Knopper -- Siji Sunny

All you have to do is run a "chkdsk /f C:" (or whatever drive) from Windows, and it will mount properly on the next reboot. You can force mount the partition as Puneeth Chaganti suggested, but this may lead to data corruption if you write to it. There is also the ntfsfix command (in the ntfsprogs package) that can be used from ubuntu as an alternative to chkdsk in windows. However this is not an exhaustive tool & may not be able to fix the problem. -- Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

[OT][X-Post][Commercial]Low cost Free Software CD/DVD distribution service
by Anoop John 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, For the last two years Zyxware has been successfully running a low cost Free Software CD/DVD distribution service at http://www.zyxware.com/requestcd. People across India have been utilizing this service to get access to the different Free Software Operating Systems and other Free Software packages without having to download them from the internet. Although we were running the service at an at-cost policy and we did not promote it other than through the user groups, it had succeeded in reaching to different parts across the country. We are extremely grateful to the people who have helped us in spreading the word about the RequestCD service. We had to take down the old system as part of upgrading our site and we have re-launched the Request CD service under an online shop at Zyxware.com. The requestcd URL <http://www.zyxware.com/requestcd> will take you directly to the list of Free Software distributions and packages available from us. There are currently around 250 different distributions, versions and full repositories available. If you do not see a Free Software OS distributions or repository online at the shop you can please let us know by email at requestcd(a)zyxware.com and we will try to download and add them to the list. If you like this service I would humbly request you to consider blogging/twittering about the service and help us spread the word about it. I hope that you will continue to find our Free Software services useful and help us in spreading the power of Free Software across the country. I look forward to hearing your feedback/comments/suggestions. Cheers Anoop John ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.zyxware.com http://www.anoopjohn.com http://www.thondomraughts.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Be the change you wish to see in the world", M.
