Hello All,

Greetings from the LINUX For You magazine team!

As you all know, we run a section called 'Opinions' in LFY where we
pose a question to the community and industry and publish the top five
responses (selected by our technical editors) in the magazine. Thanks
to all those who responded to the last month's question. The best
among the responses received have been published in the October 2006
issue of LFY.

This month we have chosen the topic:
"Intellectual Property Rights - boon or bane?"

What's your take on this? Our eyes and ears are wide open and we are
waiting to listen to your ideas. Please write to us at
sujata.banerjee@... with a CC to atul@..., before
10th October 2006.

The top five responses will be published in the November 2006 issue of
LINUX for You.

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Sujata Banerjee, Editorial Coordinator, LFY
Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY

Dear Readers,

First off, on behalf of the whole team of LINUX For You, here's
wishing a very happy Dussehra and Diwali to the whole community.

This month, LINUX For You has bundled another 'hugely-requested'
distro DVD with it - CentOS 4.4 - which many believe is the closest
one can get to RHEL for free.

On the editorial front, we have a mega story on the trends in Linux
and open source usage in the mighty Banking, Financial Services and
Insurance (BFSI) sector of the Indian industry. Along with this, we
have our regular hardware focus on 'Linux Laptops' and software focus
on Linux based High Performance Computing Solutions.

Under the opinions section, this month, the community opines on how
India can develop a community of open source developers and thus
become a 'net-giver' to the open source world. Also, in the 'Down
Memory Lane' series, we look at the history of the GNOME project.

FOR YOU & ME

Since this group is all about sharing Linux based applications, I would like to bring to your attention an excellent Linux based content filtering Internet proxy software - SafeSquid, that also has a FREE version. SafeSquid is the first INDIAN software product that is being used around the world (85% of the users are US and UK based).It has been developed by Office Efficiencies (India) Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai.

The name SafeSquid is a bit misleading, and gives an impression that is has been built on the great open source product - Squid. But it is not so. Squid is built on a single-threaded architecture while SafeSquid has a multi-threaded one, and has got nothing to do with Squid.

SafeSquid, arguably, is the world's most feature-rich proxy server.
Following, in brief, are it's features -

- Browser based GUI Interface
- Cluster friendly
- A multi-tier, md5-encrypted, totally manageable cache
- Supports ICP & CARP
- Request forwarding
- Transparent Proxying
- Reverse Proxying - Secure Web Servers
- Provides simultaneous virus scanning at the gateway using any number of Antivirus softwares of your choice
- Generate virus signatures on-the-fly for undetected viruses while you wait for updates
- Ready-to-use connectivity to ICAP Servers, the latest in Antivirus Technology
- Built-in connectivity to PAM - Authenticate users from ADS, POP3, Radius, MySQL Database, Flat File Database, etc.
- Bandwidth Management based on Users, Time, Web Sites or a combination of all
- Block web-sites using URL Blacklist, DNS Blacklist, MySQL Database, Category DNS and the database-independent - Weighed Keyword Scoring Method
- Filter unwanted contents like ActiveX Controls and Java Scripts from unknown sites (Ads, Banners, Pop-ups, spy wares, etc.)
- Prevent access / downloads based on MiMe type
- Prevent users from logging into unwanted sites - Cookie Filter
- Increase enterprise privacy - Header Filter
- Prevent access to applications like chat & IM - User Agent based access control
- Generates log reports in Firewall and Squid format compatible with many open source and paid Log Analysers like Sarg, Calamaris, Squint, Webalizer, Sawmill, SquidTaild, etc.

I have printer on RH9, which is shared by other RH9, working fine.
When I try to confiure this printer from Debian/Ubuntu using CUPS, it
does not work.

Jobs remain "paused".

Message I got is:

  > Status: /usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd failed

Please help me use this printer on Debian or ubuntu.

Thanks in advance.

It seems that my luck is not on my side or destiny has
decided to make list more active and so it is creating one
or the other problem with different sytems running linux ;-)

The PC which developed problem used to work fine for years,
and problem may be due to illegal shutdown (PowerCut more
than backup time of UPS).

When I run "startx" on this RH9 system, it says:

| could not init font path element unix/=-1,
| removing from list

/var/log/message says:

| xfs: ignoring font path element
| /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic (unreadable)

I checked other RH9 PCs, they don't have this "cyrillic"
there, and they are working fine.

Where I should look into to solve the problem.

Thanks in advance.

                           TUX Desktop Watch -- August 29, 2006
    _________________________________________________________________


   Welcome to the TUX Desktop Watch

     This Week: The Quote Heard 'Round the Community

     "No matter how painful, no matter how ugly, we must enable the
Linux desktop
     to run Windows media, to support iPods.  We may not want binary programs in
     user-space, but we must have them." Eric Raymond, author of "The Cathedral
     and the Bazaar" in a panel discussion at Linux World 2006.

     I would encourage everyone to search for more information on the discussion
     and the background.  Of course, it is nothing new to readers of TUX and TUX
     Desktop Watch.  I've been talking all around the subjects which are the
     foundation for his remarks.  The Register was the first to break the story
     and you can find their report here:
     http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/17/eric_raymond_linux_compromise/.

     It's funny how we filter information.  We each bring to every bit of
     information every experience that makes us unique.  When we add new
     information to that unique mixture of experiences, it becomes like
     chemistry.  There are interactions between our experiences and the new
     information, those reactions often form what we take the new information to
     "mean".

     So it is with Raymond's comments.  We all read or heard what he had to say
     and then like chemistry we arrive at our reactions (our conclusions).  For
     me, I think that Raymond is spot on some of this conclusions.  Now I'll
     admit his conclusions about the switch from 32- to 64-bit
technology and the
     closing window for Linux are areas I've not considered.  But I see in his
     comments one critical conclusion.

     In his book The Cathedral and the Bazaar, Raymond documented his first hand
     experience with what makes the Open-Source software development process
     work.  In my opinion, no one can begin to understand what makes Open Source
     different, special, and mysterious without reading his book.  So I believe
     he is uniquely qualified to have voiced what he did.  So I believe Raymond
     sees a disconnect between what we all want Linux to become and what the
     developers working on Linux want.  For TUX and our readers, we want a Linux
     that just works, but Linux developers don't really care what we want.  Now
     I'm talking about the vast majority of individual developers who contribute
     to Linux and not the corporate interests of Linspire, Xandros, or Novell.
     From the other perspective many within that same development community
     believe that Linux represents everything that the ideals of the Free
     Software Foundation proclaim.  They believe that Linux should
always reflect
     those ideals and should never be diluted with software that does not
     guarantee the free software ideals.  Many people first encountering Linux
     ask questions like Raymond proposes,"does it work with my iPod?" After
     telling many college students here in Puerto Rico about LInux,
a very common
     question was, "does it run Windows Messenger?" To which I was like, mouth
     gaping, saying to myself "don't you mean does it support connecting to the
     Windows messenger service?"

     From both perspectives we have a gap, (I know here he goes again with the
     gap crap again...) that are uncrossable.  So I believe that Raymond has
     recognized that the two ends have no way to meet in the middle, so he made
     his call to the Linux community to make the effort to meet the users where
     it is most important to them.  Whether that compromise is drivers, or
     codecs, or whatever, the community must move the mountain to
where the users
     are.  It's the only way! Raymond knows it and whether everyone else cares,
     it is the only way to reach widespread Linux desktop adoption.

     Otherwise, we have a great deal of cool content for you this
week, which you
     can find below.  We have plenty of great Weblog entries, plus a chapter on
     compiling and installing source code from the book SUSE Linux
by Chris Brown
     from O'Reilly Media.  We wish you much learning enjoyment!

     With best regards,

     Like many people you have one of those cheap personal web sites that don't
     allow direct shell access or file access to the server.  This is a real
     problem if you want make a copy of your web site for backup or other
     reasons.  The solution is simple but requires using the command line in a
     terminal.

     The program wget allows you to make a copy of a web site with the command
     line option --mirror.  This allows you to download a complete copy of the
     files on your web site to your home computer.

     This is an example of how to do it:

         wget -nv --mirror http://YourWebSite.com/

     This should download all files on your web site except possibly the CSS
     files.  To find the CSS files you can view the HTML source of
your home page
     by right clicking your mouse while you are viewing your web site in a
     browser and then selecting "Source" or "View Source" in the
popup menu.  The
     location of the CSS files will be listed somewhere in the top of the
     displayed source information.  Search for .css to find it.  You can then
     (usually) add the specified directories and css file name to the basic url
     of your website and view the css files in your web browser.
This allows you
     to copy and paste the CSS information into an editor and save it on your
     computer.

   Last But not Least: Tech Tip!

     Using Kate to help speed up repetitive tasks.

     Kate version 2.5 and above has a template feature that can save you lots of
     time if you have to create similar html pages, newsletters or emails on a
     weekly basis.  The template feature has to be turned on by clicking on
     Settings >> Configure Kate >> Plugins and checking the box on
the right next
     to Kate File Templates.  Once activated you will have a new listing under
     Files >> New From Template where you can load the templates and under
     Settings you will have a new listing, Manage Templates, where
you create and
     modify templates.

     Manage Templates allows you to create new, edit or delete templates.  It
     also allows you to upload or download templates from a Kate supported
     template repository.  Managing existing templates is fairly
straight forward
     but creating new ones can be frustrating.  This is the method I
use and have
     found to be the fastest but only because you rarely have to start over:

     First create the contents of the template in Kate just like you would a
     normal file.  After this is finished it is time to create an
empty template.
     When the empty template is finished you will paste in the content you just
     created and save the template.  Here is how you create the blank template:

     In the Manage Template dialog box click on New.  In the first window,
     "Choose Template Origin" You want to check "Start with an empty document"
     and click the "Next" button to go to the "Edit Template Properties" window.
     In that window you will find the following choices:

     Template:
            This is the name that appears in the "Group" when you go to select a
            template to load.  The button on the right lets you select an icon
            but I have not been able to find where it is displayed.

     Group:
            A Group is just like a folder.  It is a heading for similar
            templates.  If you want a new group just highlight the text in the
            box and type in the new name.  The one you highlighted
remains, it is
            not deleted.

     Document Name:
            This is the name that appears as the file name inside Kate -- until
            you save the file.  Handy for making sure you have the right
            template.

     Highlight:
            This sets the files highlighting type, HTML, CSS, Ruby, Python,
            etc...  Click on "None" and search for the highlighting style you
            want.

     Description:
            Since this only appears when you are editing the template file I
            assume it is for information you might want to know when editing the
            template.

     Author:
            This is your name and email address and is automatically inserted.

     After you finish filling out the above window, click on the "Next" button
     and in the "Choose Location" window select Template directory and enter a
     Template file name.  Do not spaces or special characters, it is the file
     name that it will be stored under.  When you are finished click on the
     "Next" button and go to the "Create Template" window and check "Open the
     template for editing" and click on the "Finish" button.  This opens the
     template file for editing but you will need to close the final
window of the
     "Manage Template" dialog since you are through with it.

     The katetemplate: header is at the top of this file.  This is where the
     information used to define the template is stored.  It does not appear when
     you open a regular template only when you edit a template.  Here is an
     example:

        katetemplate: Template=Template Group=Email_Responses
        Documentname=Documentname Highlight=HT&ML
        katetemplate: Author=Keith Daniels <xxxxxxx@...>
        katetemplate: Description=Description

     Notice the & in HT&ML.  That & is a bug in certain versions of Kate and you
     need to remove it from the "Highlight=" specification, it appears in all
     highlighting types.  It should be just HTML or whatever highlighting type
     you selected.  You can not get to the "Edit Template
Properties" window when
     you edit an existing file.  You have to edit the template itself and change
     the entries above.  In creating the template I used the name of
the text box
     and that is why it shows Template=Template, etc...

     Everything else in the header should be fine and you can now copy and paste
     in the "template contents" you created earlier, right below the header and
     then close and save the file.  To test it, open the template as
described at
     the beginning and check that everything is the way you want it.  If not go
     to the Manage Template window and edit the file.

     The main advantages of the Kate template feature Are:

       * Finding templates is Fast! because they are built into the menu bar and
         don't have to be searched for in the file system.
       * The first time you save the template it forces you to
assign a file name
         - it does not overwrite your template - which is what always happens
         when you create your own set of templates.
       * Highlighting works, even before you save the file and even
if you do not
         give the file a standard extension like ".html" which helps prevent
         errors when filling in the template.

could not divert Video through LCD projector. Rebooting after
connecting Projector makes no difference. fn-f4 also not work. Can not
say its behaviour on MicroSoft windows, as Laptop is inslatted with

May, I get some tip or clue, how to do make Projector to work with
this Laptop.

Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

Greetings from the Linux For You magazine team!

As you all know, two months ago we launched a new initiative called
CommunitySpeak where we pose a question to various ILUG mailing lists
and publish the top five responses (selected by our technical editors)
in the magazine. Thanks to all those who responded to last month's
question. The best among the responses received are to be published in
the August 2006 issue of LFY. We have contacted the chosen respondents
off-list.

This month we have chosen the topic: "What does one gain from
participating in an open source project that he/she does not gain from
a regular work environment?"

What's your take on this? Our eyes and ears are wide open and we are
waiting to listen to your ideas. Please write to us at
writetojanani@... with a CC to atul.goel@..., before
5th August 2006.

The top five responses will be published in the September 2006 issue
of Linux for You.

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Janani Gopalakrishnan, Freelance Writer
Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY

P.S: We have not tagged this as commercial as we feel that there is no
business angle involved in this communication. But if you feel that it
should be tagged please let us know so that we can do it from the next
time.

This information may help you:

Redhat Linux does not ship with MP3 enabled media players due to
patent concerns. You can, however, download and install an RPM package
that will add support back in for MP3 CDs.

An example RPM package might look like this:

     xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm


RPM packages for most distributions can be found at:

Can someone suggest Linux friendly LapTop avilable in maket
now a day.  The budget is about Rs. 48,000/- and
distributions, which may be used are Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora.

Thanks in advance,

Anybody who has a Linux computer that is used by other members of the family can
relate to this problem: How do you log off another user when they're not around?
A short how-to article here at DesktopLinux.com describes two options -- the
"mean way," and the "nice way."

"[The mean way] guarantees your kids will complain to you. Well, OK, any method
guarantees that," Steven J. Rosen writes. "But this method is especially mean
because there's no chance to save the other user's work first."

The "nice" way might be the better way to go, and could even earn a "Thanks,
Dad" or "Thanks, Mom" from the young one.

Rosen offers complete details on how to log somebody else off gracefully from a
Linux desktop machine. Read his full story:

TUX Desktop Watch for July 18
    ____________________________________________________________

    Welcome to the TUX Desktop Watch

     As you might have seen in the last edition of TUX Desktop Watch, I was
     recently on vacation.  I spent my vacation visiting family in Indiana. I
     grew up in Kokomo, Indiana, but haven't lived there since I left for
     college, umm, a while ago.  Visiting Kokomo is always a trip because,
     everywhere I turn it reminds me of a story.  One of the advantages of
     working for TUX, is that I get to take my office along with me -- my SUSE
     10.0-powered laptop.  With this new visit, I now have another story.

     What surprised me most about my visit to the Heartland of the United States
     was the lack of free wireless Internet access.  When I did find a wireless
     network, there wasn't even a notion, that I might want to connect to the
     network with something other than Microsoft Windows.  I'll dive into this
     topic deeper in my next Web log entry at http://www.TUXMagazine.com.

     When I desperately needed to get online I used one of the two public-
     library locations.  Of course, all of the machines available were running
     Microsoft Windows and none of them were using Mozilla Firefox.  Man, am I
     attached to using multiple tabs for browsing many pages simultaneously!
     Anyway, while I was there I noted that the library was deep into their
     summer reading program.  I have extremely fond memories of my mother taking
     me to the library to participate in similar programs.  I credit these
     programs with creating my thirst for knowledge and my love for reading.
     Knowing firsthand the success of these programs made me wonder if we don't
     need similar programs to teach general computing.  Hopefully, a broad
     computing program would include Linux and FOSS (Free and Open Source
     Software), but it wouldn't be critical.

     From my perspective, computing is becoming nearly as important as reading,
     writing, and arithmetic.  So we as a society should accept the importance
     computing holds for our future and begin offering secondary, tertiary, etc.
      education programs to teach fundamental computing.  I believe that
     increased computing knowledge is necessary for wider Linux and FOSS
     adoption.  When more people understand computers and computing technology,
     the path towards wider adoption of Linux and FOSS will become easier.
     Public libraries as social, intellectual, and knowledge hubs must play a
     special role within the community to create the computing expertise
     necessary.

     Here's a call to action: I'd like to hear your ideas about how we can raise
     the general computing knowledge of the populace.  Assume that most schools
     have some type of program, and although I know that is one of the most
     important programs, I also know that every school doesn't have a program.
     If you don't have suggestions, please help me understand what are the
     largest obstacles to achieving this goal.

     Also, after my first call for tech-tips.  The well is running dry.  So
     please don't forget to send us your technical Linux tips.

    From the Field

     This is the space for tech tips that come directly from you, our readers.
     Keep sending your fantastic desktop-Linux tips and tricks to
     ed@....  If we publish your submission, we'll send you a free
     t-shirt or other great Linux gear!

     Here's a submission from Daniels from somewhere on Earth:

     Kate Tip
     If you have Kate (KDE's all purpose text editor) version 2.5.x installed
     under KDE 3.5.x you can use some external commands, like sort for example,
     to sort highlighted text.  All you have to do to enable this feature is to
     click on: Settings (on the menu bar) >> Configure Kate >> Plugins and then
     check the box next to Kate TextFilter and then click on the OK button.

     To use the filter you highlight the text you want to sort, press the Ctrl
     key and the \ key at the same time and then enter sort in the text box that
     pops up and press OK.

     Sort when used by itself, sorts based on the first characters in a line.  A
     useful option is the -g option. If numeric sorting is not working correctly
     add -g after sort, because without it sort just looks at the first digit.
     Other options can be found by typing man sort and pressing enter while in a
     console or terminal window.

     If you create or edit HTML code for web pages this feature allows you to
     easily use the tidy command to check the HTML code for errors and
     automatically fix minor problems in the code.

     blogging, in which he discusses his own home music studio, dubbed "Studio
     Dave", as well what programs he uses with his underfunded music students.


    Last But not Least: Tech Tip!

     TUX editor Daniel McCarthy says:

     "A page that is frequently hit on my site is how to recover the root
     password.  I've written up the following on how to recover the password
     using Grub.  If you have ever forgotten the root password for any of your
     machines you know what a hassle it can be.  If you have direct
access to the
     machine and it is using the Grub boot loader it is very easy to change the
     password.

     All you need to do is reboot the machine.  When you are presented with the
     Grub menu, hit the 'e' key.  This will allow you to edit the current boot
     options.  Select the line that begins with 'kernel', hit the
'e' key again to
     edit that line and add the word 'single' at the end of the line
and press the
     Enter key.  Now press 'b' to boot with the modified boot options.

     You'll now be presented with the command line.  At the command line simply
     enter 'passwd' and press Enter.  You'll be prompted, twice, for a new
     password.

     After you have finished entering the new password, type in 'exit' and press
     Enter, and the machine will continue booting into the normal process.  Your
     root password has now been changed."

Dear Readers,

First off, we would like to thank our readers for an overwhelming
response to the June 2006 issue of LINUX For You.

The monsoon season brings with it a gift that we are sure most of our
readers were eagerly awaiting. For the third month in succession, LFY
has bundled a DVD, and that too, a distro that had virtually become
the 'numero uno request' on our readers' wish list - Debian Linux 3.1.
Check it out and do send us your feedback.

On the editorial front, we have a great article on the tuXlabs project
which is a partnership between the Shuttleworth Foundation and South
African schools to setup self-sustainable computer centres in South
African schools using open source. We have also included a resource
manual - the tuXlabs Cookbook - in this month's LFY CD that serves as
a recipe for setting up a tuXlab and explains formal processes like
education, application, installation, support and training that define
the tuXlabs model. We hope that this article and the cookbook will
serve as facilitators for the policy makers in our country to take
full advantage of open source in our education system.

Starting this month, a new column has been introduced called
CoomunitySpeak. Here, we take a topic and post it on various LUGs for
members to give their opinion on the same and the best 5 responses get
a place in the magazine. This month's topic is 'Why is it that a clear
majority of world's top ten supercomputers are powered by GNU/Linux?'
Also, in the 'Down Memory Lane' series, we look at the history of the
Firefox project.

Hello all,

Greetings from the Linux For You team!

As you all know, last month we launched a new initiative called
CommunitySpeak where we pose a question to various ILUG mailing lists
and publish the top five responses (selected by our technical editors)
in the magazine. Thanks to all those who responded to last month's
question on "why a majority of the world's top 10 supercomputers are
powered by Linux". The best five among the responses received are to
be published in the July 2006 issue of LFY.

The selected responses were sent by Vishnu Vyas (Chennai), S R Parthan
(Chennai), R Subramanian (Chennai), Manu Konchady (Bangalore) and P
Sriram (Chennai). Thanks again for your participation.

This month we have chosen the topic: "What would make a Windows user
pick up a Linux magazine?"

No, this is not a marketing tactic. We are *really* curious. What
would make Windows users pick up a Linux magazine? How can we convince
them to read about and adopt Linux and other free and open source
software? Would they be interested in reading about free business
software than run on Windows?

What's your take on this? Our eyes and ears are wide open and we are
waiting to listen to your ideas. Please write to us at
writetojanani@... with a CC to atul.goel@... before
July 5th 2006.

The top five responses will be published in the August 2006 issue of
Linux for You.

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Janani Gopalakrishnan, Freelance Writer
Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY


P.S: We have not tagged this as commercial as we feel that there is no
business angle involved in this communication. But if you feel that it
should be tagged please let us know so that we can do it from the next
time.

Hi Himanshu,

Good point. I personally feel that if -
#1. M$ goes open source and
#2. Leave behind their monopolistic market practices,
we can even discuss about their products. Looks like a dream right now :-)

Our group I feel is for Open source in general and Linux in particular. I feel
we should have broad based discussions. I am sure every one will agree to this.

Cheers,
-Tarun

Compiled by Frederick "FN" Noronha http://fn.goa-india.org

Dear Fellow Members,

I am a regular reader of articles at Embedded.com
Mr. Jack Ganssle there has reopened the once hot discussion about the
monolithic and microkernels. Minix is back with a new presentation where
all device drivers are pushed to user space. I read the article and the
reliability article on the minix's site. I don't want to jump into the
debate on this matter which nearly always turns hot. But one thing that
came to my mind is, here what are we advocating? Opensource or Just
Linux in particular.

Suppose if M$ Win goes open source, will you support it? (I know that is
next to impossible, but there is no harm in imagining)

Mr. Ganssle is right in saying that this all is essentially a
comparision between apples and oranges. When it comes to embedded
systems, reliability is something that is first priority. But its not
just the case with embedded systems. Any desktop user would like his
system to be as reliable as any embedded system. No doubt 4000 lines of
kernel code will have less bugs than millions of kernel code. As the
code size bloats the susceptibility of the code of being erroneous
increases.

Although Linux has millions of lines of kernel code, its being used in
embedded system more reliably than any other operating system for that
matter.

I just posted whatever I had on my mind. Any comments?

Regards
--Himanshu
