by Neelesh Gurjar 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hi, I have installed voyage linux on thinclient. I have installed rdesktop and Xorg on it. However coz of space issue I couldnt install any window manager on it. So I have to connect Windows server from CLI only. I tried following command: $ rdesktop -f <server ip>:3389 It shows "ERROR: Failed to open display" Is there any work around to resolve this issue without changing any hardware? Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

Problem with Division
by Mayank 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hi, I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find any appropriate answer elsewhere and hence this post. Today while doing some calculation using bc I found a very peculiar thing. I was performing an operation -2 % -3 and the software reported the answer as -2. Now -2 > -3 and if I remember correctly then in divison operation the remainder is less than the divisor. So how come in this case the answer is not coming properly. Is it a software flaw or there is some mistake in my understanding of the division operation ? Thanks and regards, Mayank -- Today is tommorrow I was so worried about yesterday ...

hi, http://gnukhata.gnulinux.in/ appears to be not in current use. It points to a mailing list at googlegroups which is full of spam. This is not good for the project. Please clean or shut down the mailing list and make the site point to the current development site and mailing lists. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/
