Fedora FreeMedia (India to begin with) needs a professional look and in enough supply to match the demand.. is when we will see happy users (who incidently still dont care much about freedom then getting work done.) Here is what I suggest.. we have a local contact program which is quite good in decentralizing the effforts but we lack strong efforts (which is justifiable, everyone cant be expected to put efforts for Fedora while leaving other important stuff aside).. what we can do is , we can create a better communication channel (IRC too has failed because same-time-everyone-is-free does not happen.) How about mail reminders containing city wise pending requets and sent to local contacts.. (or a desktop widget displaying this information :-) ) There are two aspects of a not functional FreeMedia India program.. 1. one is the funding.. (put ~50INR/Request X 200Requests/Month = INR 10K in one place, figure out a vendor who can do burning and packaging and ship from one location. Which we dont have) 2. and two is difficulty in decentralizing the efforts.. (people dont like to buy media and get it burned from LocalContacts after filling the MediaForm which is not very understandable but true.. and we cant/dont want to force our contacts to put in money for all the requests because few locations produce most of requests) to solve this we need voluneers who are commited to dig out the FreeMedia program and make it functional.. So guys. this is what i can think of ..lets make a team out of us.. everyone who is a part of it has to follow certain formal equations like meeting on time, being reachable, being able to put in efforts when needed (we'll figure out the money part later) and will be responsible for the larger free media program. what do you think?

It already exists (just that people are ignorant): http://wikiwikiweb.de/LugsList 1. Most of the time (that I have observed) when people require a distro, they ask in their local user groups, and they get a copy for free or give a blank CD/DVD to get a copy: And user group mailing lists are primarily the channel not just for getting CDs/DVDs, but, also for subsequent help with installation, and troubleshooting. 2. Fedora India ambassadors need to be *active* in their local user group(s), as most of them tend to be the first point of contact for newbies. Since, most of these user groups conduct workshops, organize events, it is a good place to offer help with Fedora. Being in the same locality also helps if you have to physically help someone with installation, and troubleshooting.

An important I did not see taking off (as much as we hoped it would) is the Ambassadors becoming 'known' points of contacts in the LUGs. Media requests happen as much as within the LUG as via Freemedia and, if the LUG aspect is taken care of things can turn out to be a bit nicer. For example, we are very grateful that iLUG-D via a few individuals have been points of contact towards making media available. The aspect that rears its head each time is 'cost'. And, as far as I recall, anyone who is a point of contact has not been discouraged to get at least the media cost replaced. It is a statistical point worth noting that during the last year, a lot of magazines did carry Fedora. I am still not sure where all of that went :) -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From debarshi.ray at gmail.com Wed Apr 1 06:58:41 2009 From: debarshi.ray at gmail.com (Debarshi Ray) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 12:28:41 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fedora Freemedia India, A plan.

Which is very good. When I was in college, folks were suddenly ordering Ubuntu media in bulk and distributing them in the campus cafeteria. Eventually 90% of the media ended up in the trash cans.

But I will moving out of college soon and then servicing requests would be a real problem for me. It would be nice if some infrastructure as you mentioned can be setup. The Ubuntu freemedia distribution works really well. Can't we do the same.

I am willing to help but how can I when I am not even able to view the tickets due to the recent trac policy change. I even applied to the freemedia group but haven't received a response since then. I even joined the mailing list but no confirmation mail or what so ever has been received. I sent private mails to the administrators but they don't seem to bother. > So guys. this is what i can think of ..lets make a team out of us.. everyone > who is a part of it has to follow certain formal equations like meeting on > time, being reachable, being able to put in efforts when needed (we'll > figure out the money part later) and will be responsible for the larger free > media program. It is as difficult to materialize this as it is easy to say. But surely it is not impossible if we give it a proper try. Reachability is a separate issue altogether. It isn't tat you are reachable just because you have your name and phone number on the local contacts list. You cannot leave the money part to be figured out later because that is a very important necessity for this plan to be successful. > what do you think? I think it can be done.

I am not a millionaire of course. We don't have anywhere near the same budget. Throwing more money at the problem is not the right way to solve it at all.

Really? I recieved a mail sometime back from one of your Senior Lecturers regarding a Linux kernel workshop on april 4th as part of some fest. Am I clubbing two non-intersecting things here or is it that the dates have been changed? If it is April 10,11, 12 and if you can provide more details with the sessions you would like to have, I volunteer to attend the same (either 11th or 12th). I am landing in India on 10th morning and will be around until 20th April. Some topics I can help out with: 1. Setting up a Electronic Laboratory using Fedora (even other distros if interested is not an issue) 2. Some basics on Linux kernel 3.

We have students like that at NIT Durgapur. Debayan, We were just discussing this among ourselves. Our primary concern is, we are not getting many new contributors from India. Maybe it's our fault that we are not reaching the correct people. So, if you have a number of students who are interested in kernel hacking, I was thinking if you could please bring them here in this list, so that we can connect them to proper mentors and get them going? I can ensure the connect bit, please bring them here.

It would be wonderful if you could somehow de-link the free media program from being exclusive to the members of the GLUG of KGEC and make it a service available to anyone in the locality/Kalyani. I take it that it would be difficult for normal ie. non-student users to be members of KGEC and yet, they might require Fedora media. In fact, one of the functions of a GLUG is making media available to whosoever wants it, so I guess this is a point upon which you can put some thought. > Our group is not receiving any funds for its functioning from the > college.

Not necessarily true. For example, a step towards workshops is having something to work with and work upon. The former requires having a Linux distribution, in this case being Fedora at hand and, the latter requires an idea about a project to tackle and contribute to. I am sure that you have factored those in. The initial members of the LUG would indeed be setting the trend of the newer members who will eventually join it. > We also have a inauguration + FOSS Event day on 18th April 2009. It > also has a FAD ie, Fedora Workshop. > link: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/KGEC_LUG That link should read Fedora Install Fest or something instead of KGEC_LUG. And, I recall mentioning this earlier, this is a trend that is going to stretch our logistics to the limits if we end up announcing events at such short notice. > So, we request fedora to sponsor our FAD and the 'Free media Program' > of 'GNU/Linux User Group of KGEC'. > Things we Request: > 1) ? 100 Fedora 10 CDs and/or DVDs. > 2) ?

I'll check if we have around 100 DVDs of F10 to send across. I'd need an address mailed to me off list.

Thank you. Thank you. I wasn't in a mood to re-write my yesterday's speech ( from some other list ) ;) OT : Suggestion - maybe before going into this process of creating multiple lugs and also Fedora ambassadors there are important things to be done like teaching people how to write an email to mailing lists. How to read emails? How to think about what is written? Such type of emailing etiquette is not doing any good to anybody or the community itself. So when somebody goes to promote Fedora or start a new lug at a new place - maybe she/he needs to tell the audience about a few more things other than the standard stuff. How to behave, listen to community and work with the community is a good thing to tell them? ( This also goes for other projects as well.) Spending 15 minutes on this right then and there at the event can save hours now. Makes sense because at that point they are probably listening to YOU, the speaker more than now when they can choose to ignore YOUR email and its contents completely, never mind giving it some thought. And once you leave, some nice chaps concentrate all their energies into getting things done ( which is good thing ), their adrenalin is a super high excited state to do nice things, at that point they may or may not have time to listen to the "right things". Also, Sankarshan you are right, a FAQ page mentioning the "Right" things to do and with references to important information is a neat idea. Cheers!

I have had a number of animated discussions with a lot of folks about this. One of the trends that I notice is that a lot of freshers/younger folks are coming to Fedora and other projects. The upside is that there is a lot of fresh minds, the downside is that the earlier mentoring and coaching which used to happen via *UGs seem to be missing. Add to that the point which Shakthi had raised - about the Ambassadors and other participants being more visible and constructive ong the *UGs. We do have a somewhat unique problem. There was a time when I used to be the town crier about Producing Open Source Software. Primarily because it contains elements which are helpful to the new entrant and, serve as a refresher for the old dog. I tend to hold to the belief that if Fedora is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content through a community of collaboration, then it is our duty to teach/coach/guide all those who join us for the ride about the basic foundations of our community and, the elements that make it tick. Alongside we need to hand hold them with the fundamental hygiene bits. So, if someone wants to undertake a small tutorial over IRC on those bits, I'd love to go to town and exhort a full house. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work Sent from Pune, MH, India From shakthimaan at gmail.com Mon Apr 6 13:18:01 2009 From: shakthimaan at gmail.com (Shakthi Kannan) Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 18:48:01 +0530 Subject: Should we/Should we not [was:Re: [fedora-india] Re: [Ambassadors] Request for Sponsorship..] In-Reply-To: <35586fc00904060551i285488f5q49b7a2a2ec036c19@mail.gmail.com> References: <35586fc00904060551i285488f5q49b7a2a2ec036c19@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: Hi, My thoughts below: --- On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 6:21 PM, Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay wrote: | The upside is that there is a lot | of fresh minds, the downside is that the earlier mentoring and | coaching which used to happen via *UGs seem to be missing. \-- Young minds _need_ to go through a learning curve, and they are _not_ ready to be an "Ambassador", yet. --- | about the Ambassadors and other | participants being more visible and constructive ong the *UGs.

Since we already have a couple of posts on this in the thread, thought we might need to change subject line. My two cents in the above mentioned idea of "creating a wiki page" thingi goes below. Will that *actually* help? We already have too many wiki pages speaking thousands of lines of "Guidelines". Though "RTFM" is a nice attitude to learn new things, this is something a new person would not want to do. Believe me, "how many time experienced opensource people ask things on IRC, when the thing is very much on some manual or even google ? " So the solution (*effective*) could be to tamper with the basic foundation. Here I see the foundation to be as pradeepto mentioned "Right there when you go and speak on Fedora and foobar at a univ", "Right when one encourages some person to become a ambassador". This IMO must also be part of the ambassador status process and not after one gets the status and begins to preach fedora to others. I see the "issue" ( I hate to call this a "Problem" ), as something to do with more preaching that is happening by the new generation (which is fantabulously great), but at the same time giving importance to preaching it right!

Birla Institute of Technology (www.bitmesra.ac.in) is a premier engineering college located in Mesra which is around 25 Kms from Ranchi - The state capital of Jharkhand (Formerly a part of Bihar). We organize a year round event consisting of Lectures and Workshops under the banner of Community Learning Programs. The audience for these workshops and lectures include students, teachers and IT proffessionals from Ranchi area. This year we are planning to hold better lectures and workshops especially in the field of Linux administration, Networking and Virtualization. We already have had a good number of workshops on Linux with the help of the student community of our college but it would be better to have them conducted by experts :-).For this purpose we need good and knowledgeable speakers who can come to the campus of Birla Institute of Technology and give talks and conduct workshops. The travelling costs of the visiting speakers (from India) will be covered by us and will be provided with standard boarding and lodging facilities in the Campus Guest house. cheers, Debjit Fedora India Ambassador https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dkd903 email: dkd903 at gmail.com phone: +919204482409 From dkd903 at gmail.com Wed Apr 8 12:19:57 2009 From: dkd903 at gmail.com (Debjit Saha) Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 17:49:57 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Final Details of 'GNU/Linux User Group of KGEC' Message-ID: > > Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2009 20:38:19 +0530 > From: Rohit Gupta > Subject: [fedora-india] Final Details of 'GNU/Linux User Group of > KGEC' > To: sherry151 , Susmit > , sankarshan.mukhopadhyay at gmail.com, > nitdgplug at googlegroups.com, fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com, > fedora-india at redhat.com, fedora-list at redhat.com, debayanin > , indradg at gmail.com > Message-ID: > <549055230904050808j1202fe23rbaf84e1682d34c0c at mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Date of inauguration Followed by FOSS Events: 18th April, 2009 > > 1.

As far as I feel, you should not charge anything for membership. A LUG is very different from a Club or Society. What you can charge for are the dvd/cds (which you may occasionally throw in for free too). If you have your LUG T-Shirt then you may charge the junta for them.

Modifying the kickstart might be easy, however maintaining the spin is where the actual rubber hits the road. Last time I checked, we had plenty of such nice ideas, but no one did come up and say "here I am going to maintain this Spin". Which is where all plans of mice and men tend to unravel. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Mon Apr 13 23:29:02 2009 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay) Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:59:02 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fedora 11 Networking In-Reply-To: <4fea838f0904131040u3c53f8aev722c0acba9b549e2@mail.gmail.com> References: <78323d480904131017y4a7c8a40r233af0aa564c32f9@mail.gmail.com> <20090413225646.7e6b5360@mamdo.ddnet> <4fea838f0904131040u3c53f8aev722c0acba9b549e2@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <35586fc00904131629y239d48b8x3252a6734ded4984@mail.gmail.com> On Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 11:10 PM, das wrote: > For quite some time now I am installing on machines with Rahul > Sundaram's Xfce Spin on an USB stick.

There has always been plenty of software which have been in the repos and, we had been required to install them on boxes. So, there would be a way around this.

Windows installations and > modem as router bit ... > Ahem ... err ... actually I don't know how to make a configured router available in MSW, because I have never used one. I permanently transferred to GNU-Linux only environments before broadband and all came. And I am not at all technically knowledgeable like you people to understand all the MSW things. In Linux I can learn because there are the Howto-s and a lot of related literature within the system and on the Net. And also I don't like to boot into the MSW environments too in the machines for my colleagues, friends or associates, primarily because MSW seems too difficult and non-transparent (I think you can get what I am saying, in Linux you can learn if you read, and maybe there is a mindset to use MSW that I have lost) and secondly, all those MSW-s are stolen, I mean not original, copies of copies of copies. So, if the user now asks, after you have changed the modem into a router, how I am going to access it in MSW, what I am going to reply? Am I not too old to start researching MSW on stolen OS-s, because I cannot afford to buy one? I had purchased one MSW-95 and MS-Word 7 in 1996. Within three or four years I started rejecting it altogether, those eight thousand Rupees going down the drain.

The packages were removed due to shortage of space apparently. So I do not think there is anything really to be maintained. Again nobody is going to ever consider removing rp-pppoe from RHEL.. The new spin would be just the original + 2-3 packages in repos. Also rp-pppoe has no new dependencies. Do you have any statistics on how people use dsl/ADSL in different countries? Along these lines: By plain bridge protocol, Through USB modems, Through routers + ethernet Through routers + two layers of firewall +ethernet Bridges + more advanced h/w I think at least 50% of the home users in India must be using the bridge protocol on cheaper adsL modems and adsl routers cum modems.

The new spin needs a maintainer - do I take it that you are volunteering to maintain it ? Most Spins fall through the crack because no one wants to maintain them. That was the precise point I was making in the earlier mail. The adsl-setup | start | stop script use the settings in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 to bring the interface up/down etc. So, a hard route is to figure out how to configure that using text editors. The somewhat easier route might be to test out whether NetworkManager actually can handle DSL connections and, if there are significant end user annoyance, file appropriate bugs to fix get it fixed (or, perhaps motivate a student well enough to take this as a summer project and introduce this feature into NM) As regards package removal/inclusion in RHEL, the logic and workflow is a bit different than what it is in Fedora (although there are long chalks of similarity). -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Tue Apr 14 04:11:06 2009 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay) Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 09:41:06 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fedora 11 Networking In-Reply-To: <4fea838f0904131824qefd50c7q8149ab103ed9a100@mail.gmail.com> References: <78323d480904131017y4a7c8a40r233af0aa564c32f9@mail.gmail.com> <20090413225646.7e6b5360@mamdo.ddnet> <4fea838f0904131040u3c53f8aev722c0acba9b549e2@mail.gmail.com> <35586fc00904131629y239d48b8x3252a6734ded4984@mail.gmail.com> <4fea838f0904131824qefd50c7q8149ab103ed9a100@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <35586fc00904132111q6062c28ckec7f7acaa959f8eb@mail.gmail.com> On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 6:54 AM, das wrote: And are > you suggesting me to purchase one, and the suggestion coming on a > Linux mailing list? I just asked for a somewhat elaborate explanation of the statement you'd made in the earlier mail. And, irrespective of whether it is Linux, Windows or OS X, at the end of the day it should be about how you set up the network interfaces to access the admin console of the modem/router. Most of the Windows boxes on DSL (at least, most that I have seen) end up using the dialer software provided for by BSNL and hence do ppp bits. Setting up static IPs and, using the modem as the gateway should end up giving you the functionality you see on Linux. Caveat : I have tried that only once, so your mileage might vary.

I just talked to Jesse Keating , the release engineer on IRC and he has added the dial-up group back to the kickstart file out of which the DVD image is generated. Apparently, it was left out accidentally. So, we should be back in business. Have fun!

Fedora 11 is now under development and a general release is scheduled for end of May. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/Schedule Both of these images can be loaded to a USB disk using liveusb-creator (Windows/Linux) or livecd-iso-to-disk script which is part of livecd-tools in Fedora. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB Fedora 11 Snapshot 1 is a more recent snapshot than the Beta.

You might have been looking for VLC, but a much better option is MPlayer. For that you need to enable the RPMFusion repositories as Fedora does not ship it due to legal issues. In any case, I would suggest Totem and Rhythmbox because if you have all the necessary repositories enabled (read RPMFusion and the default Fedora ones) they will automatically download the necessary codecs required to play a media file.

In particular, PAE kernel is installed by default on i586+ systems regardless of whether you have more than 4GB memory or not. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ArchitectureSupport Rahul From das at randomink.org Mon Apr 20 03:29:09 2009 From: das at randomink.org (das) Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:59:09 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] IBUS Input Method in XFCE in F11 In-Reply-To: <49EBE889.2000807@fedoraproject.org> References: <4fea838f0904190711r5c41636ew90b3729eba0d5f0a@mail.gmail.com> <49EB43F9.2060605@fedoraproject.org> <4fea838f0904191913kf0d93b9q1a816d81fefaccb0@mail.gmail.com> <4fea838f0904191942j3030359aree6d1d5c29918efe@mail.gmail.com> <49EBE889.2000807@fedoraproject.org> Message-ID: <4fea838f0904192029l21fdbde4qce89e68d288224a8@mail.gmail.com> On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 8:44 AM, Rahul Sundaram wrote: > Thanks for all the bug reports but note that we are in a development > freeze for Fedora 11 and the focus is on higher priority bug reports > (system crashers, security exploits etc) and it is a little bit late for > all of them to be fixed before release.

I am rather doing it as a gesture of 'paying back to the community' in the form of trying to help you developer people.

I have been using it for quite sometime for Windows related tasks and also trying out "bleeding edge" distros. Some nice Howto Links below: (some are Ubuntu links) [1] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation [2] http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Installing_and_Configuring_Fedora_KVM_Virtualization [3] bonzoli.com/docs/How_to_setup_Qemu_on_Fedora_8.pdf [4] http://wiki.frugalware.org/index.php?title=QEMU_Quickstart All you need to look into is the following Step 1 : Install KVM/Qemu Step 2 : Create a blan Qemu image using qemu-img command Step 3 : Boot the Ubuntu Live CD using qemu/kvm , mentioning the hard disk to be the image file we created in Step 2 (there is a switch to mention that. its -c) . Make sure you boot from cdrom (i.e. -boot flag is set to d) (man qemu has detailed descriptions) Step 4 : Install :-) and enjoy HTH Aanjhan From fedora at opensourcenuts.com Wed Apr 22 09:30:47 2009 From: fedora at opensourcenuts.com (fedora) Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:00:47 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Re: Virtualization for Beginner In-Reply-To: <49EEE0CC.60600@fedoraproject.org> Message-ID: <200904220931.n3M9V4TZ011413@mx1.redhat.com> I will like to help you.

I grew this habit of picking the packages because earlier I had a severe limitation of disk-space, and I did not want to spend it on anything other than what I absolutely need, like say, langpack-bn, or moodle, or something. And if that was the culprit, how come it worked on Gnome? So there is something specific to Xfce. Why the input method chooser does not automatically come with Xfce, like it comes with Gnome? Both Gnome and Xfce were getting the same set of files, and one was working, while the other was not. I think im-chooser must be one for the whole system, and every X-Windows should draw the information from it. In both Gnome and Xfce I ran 'im-chooser' from the command prompt, and it popped up the same window, where iBus was already selected. And the situation was more funny because after I installed the primary thing from the DVD, Bangla input from iBus was working nice (it was the default Gnome) and after I installed the Xfce things and logged into Xfce, 'iBus' was showing alright, but not working.

And it reminds me I had the same problem with SCIM in XFCE in Fedora 8. Most probably I made a bug report, and someone there helped me with the suggestion that I will have to install that package. But all this time I thought that it was a kind of a dependency problem. -- ??? das http://ddts.randomink.org/ From chakraborty.dipanjan at gmail.com Fri Apr 24 15:56:45 2009 From: chakraborty.dipanjan at gmail.com (Dipanjan Chakraborty) Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 21:26:45 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] connect internet from terminal: problem In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 11:21 AM, Hirak Sarkar wrote: > I am facing a problem I install fedora 10 and i get no gui because of nvdia > graphics card now I want to set up net connection from terminal . pppoeconf > is not working .

Still a question remains. There must be some counterpart of this in Gnome, like, say, imsettings-gnome. And if Gnome takes that by default, why Xfce should not? And the document written by Runa Bhattacharya mentions im-chooser, which I did already run on Xfce, and it gave me no error message.

And if Gnome takes that by > default, why Xfce should not? imsettings-xfce is defined as conditional in the comps group which is the file that is used in Fedora to determine which package belongs to which group http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/comps/comps-f11.xml.in?view=markup It is likely that imsettings (there is no specific subpackage for GNOME) was a direct dependency for some package you cherry picked. You would have to trace the exact steps to figure out which one.

Tell me, how do i use ns1.csmanipur.co.in and > ns2.csmanipur.co.in as nameservers for my domain csmanipur.co.in I think what you are trying to say is that you want to remove the ns3.zonedit.com and ns8.zoneedit.com from you domain record and add ns1.csmanipur.co.in and ns2.csmanipur.co.in instead. I believe that this is impossible to do. You can try to understand it this way: 1) The csmanipur.co.in domain can be resolve only if there is a record in some nameserver 2) If you remove the ns3.zonedit.com and ns8.zoneedit.com then your domain, csmanipur.co.in cannot be resolved 3) If csmanipur.co.in cannot be resolved then ns1.csmanipur.co.in will also not be resolved 4) If ns1.csmanipur.co.in cannot be resolved then csmanipur.co.in will will also not be resolved whose record is contained in ns1.csmanipur.co.in. This brings us back to point 3 and is a cycle thereafter. I hope you understand the problem. Instead of using ns1.csmanipur.co.in, you can use your public IP instead of ns1.csmanipur.co.in as the nameserver address. But it would be better if you leave the zoneedit nameservers as they are.

Your csmanipur.co.in is being resolved only because nameserver ns3.zonedit.com and ns8.zoneedit.com contains its entry. 1) If you want to be a hosting provider, read the link: http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/ This link contains complete details for how to become registrar. But I don?t think it is affordable. 2) But if you just want to maintain your own dns server, ask company where you registered our domain name that you want to register your nameserver, your problem will be solve. 3) And if you just want to maintain your webserver locally, it will work as dig resolves to your ip address for csmanipur.co.in.

Apart from Kolkata city and very few cities the average copper loop length of BSNL network to its subscribers is always more than 3 kms. and mostly ranges between 4 to 5 kms. So actually Kolkata and its adjoining areas is a special case where the average copper loops are in the order of 2 to 3 kms. Longer loop length and bad quality loops (multiple joints etc.) requires the LCP configuration all the time. > rule out the 'correct'-ness of the document in question? The > information you supplied is very important to know, when one is stuck > in a situation like that, but these are more of an 'addendum' nature, > than an 'erratum', I presume. :) Going by the larger numbers where such service is provided all over India now, this part on LCP needs to be added. One can easily see the logs and find the LCP timeout and retry attempts. The document is (named so) targeted at BSNL broadband service users with linux / fedora as OS therefore, in my understanding the correctness of the document for unsuspecting users requires that the BSNL specific issues be clearly and be very much a part of the main document and not pushed to a corner as an addendum or erratum. pppoe s/w and the related configuration files were not written keeping in mind the BSNL broadband service. But this document is written especially for using BSNL broadband service, so this document has to be correct from that prespective for sure. with Regards, ASHWIN Now surf faster and smarter !

There are some very good replies to your query, but I guess you either did not properly read them or did not understand them. I would recommend you get a copy of "DNS and BIND" by By Paul Albitz, Cricket Liu and read the first 2 Chapters, they give a fairly good understanding of what DNS is and how DNS and esp delegation works in Internet. Second, google for "register name server". It will throw up some good examples. http://www.webmasterworld.com/domain_names/3297795.htm is one good discussion. /Saurabh From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Mon Apr 27 04:17:53 2009 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay) Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 09:47:53 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] [FYI] Regarding receipts for Fedora Events Message-ID: <35586fc00904262117n40c4ce6ax8180ed6c841738cb@mail.gmail.com> It would be wonderful if the following things are kept in mind: - arranging/clipping the bills by type. Or, arranging all DVD related bills together, all photocopy related bills together etc - ensuring that the description/narration is legible. If I have to take time to understand what the bill is about (sometimes the shop name/related bills aren't a giveaway), it is counter-producitve. If the bill narration does not make sense, it becomes a bit difficult for me to file it in the expense system and, consequently, it becomes difficult to re-imburse. Note that till now, I had been transfering monies on receipt of the bills and not waiting till I put it through the entire expense cycle. With the increase in the number of illegible bills, I am going to reverse this system. Re-imbursements would only be paid on bills that get accepted by the system. - it is understood that sometimes bills for items like transport etc will not be available. However, that has not stopped these bills from being re-imbursed till date. Moving forward, this is going to be discretionary. If there are no bills for items like DVD, DVD covers etc. there would be no re-imbursements. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From sinha.k.ritesh at gmail.com Mon Apr 27 04:54:45 2009 From: sinha.k.ritesh at gmail.com (Ritesh Sinha) Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 10:24:45 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Help for Hosting Required In-Reply-To: <49F51E20.9020105@beginbyte.org> References: <200904261556.n3QFuPCn027558@mx3.redhat.com> <7cb778c60904261913r22f5641di1d685334b6105b2a@mail.gmail.com> <49F51E20.9020105@beginbyte.org> Message-ID: Rishikesh, Try this. I assume the hosting provider does provide some form of free DNS service to begin with (most that I know of do). Create a new A record in the free dns server (ns1.csmanipur.co.in). Point this to your permanent name server (ip address of the nameserver). Additionally you may want to configure CNAME records such as www.csmanipur.co.in too. Now go to manage your name servers and add this as a name server. Try this without deleting the existing entries (You could later delete this). Your nameserver should be configured to be authoritative for your domain. Please remember that DNS changes take 24-72 hours to propagate. Also, I would recommend against using your own DNS server unless you absolutely require the additional functionality. In effect this is how it would work Registrar resolves your server's IP address and your domain name server's IP Address, your DNS server is authoritative for subdomains within your domain (e.g. aloo.csmanipur.co.in, bhindi.csmanipur.co.in ) Let me know if this works.

Your csmanipur.co.in is being resolved only because nameserver ns3.zonedit.com and ns8.zoneedit.com contains its entry. 1) If you want to be a hosting provider, read the link: http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/ This link contains complete details for how to become registrar. But I don?t think it is affordable. 2) But if you just want to maintain your own dns server, ask company where you registered our domain name that you want to register your nameserver, your problem will be solve. 3) And if you just want to maintain your webserver locally, it will work as dig resolves to your ip address for csmanipur.co.in.

I believe that this is impossible to do. You can try to understand it this way: 1) The csmanipur.co.in domain can be resolve only if there is a record in some nameserver 2) If you remove the ns3.zonedit.com and ns8.zoneedit.com then your domain, csmanipur.co.in cannot be resolved 3) If csmanipur.co.in cannot be resolved then ns1.csmanipur.co.in will also not be resolved 4) If ns1.csmanipur.co.in cannot be resolved then csmanipur.co.in will will also not be resolved whose record is contained in ns1.csmanipur.co.in. This brings us back to point 3 and is a cycle thereafter. I hope you understand the problem. Instead of using ns1.csmanipur.co.in, you can use your public IP instead of ns1.csmanipur.co.in as the nameserver address. But it would be better if you leave the zoneedit nameservers as they are.

After the installation was over (with software customization set 'later', no software or repositories added, everything default), I made a reboot, and logged in, and it was a Gnome, obviously.

Now I installed the group XFCE and rebooted and logged in into Xfce, and iBus did not work, the usual problem, as reported in the bug your OP quoted. Now I installed yumex and got into yumex. Searched for the string 'imsetting' and saw that a package named 'imsetting' was installed, and as expected, another package named 'imsetting-xfce' was there but it was not installed, as you predicted, which now I did and it worked. So, there was a default 'imsetting' that was being used by Gnome. So, it does not matter, if Gnome did not have its own imsetting package. It was using the system-wide default. And not that any package selected by mine did make it happen. It happened by default. And Xfce, even when the system-wide 'imsetting' is installed and working and the group 'XFCE' is called for install, is not installing its own version of imsetting. A working system is rendered unworkable (by 'work' in terms of iBus) by adding Xfce. Do you think it is an expected behavior of 'groupinstall XFCE'? What the whole OS is doing on its system default, is getting broken by installing XFCE, a part added to the whole.
