Dear All This is to request you all to provide road map to rebuild python2.4 with Tkinter modules on RHEL 5.2 platform?

You are right about the fact that even Dom0 is "only" a special domain. My statement was made from a usage perspective rather than as strict logical dependency.

Re: Virtualization

benjamin — 2008-08-21T04:55:12

in Xen, would you call Dom0 the host? Dom0, a special domain (VM) too runs on top of Xen ESX, COS is not the host as VMkernel runs the hardware Here too, COS is a special VM running on top of VMkernel. There is also something similar in Hyper-V In Hypervisor based Virtualisation Softwares, I do think the control consoles are host as they do not really host the VMs. They can just communicate with the Virtualization Layer which other user created VMs cannot. And Hypervirsor based virtualizations softwares are installed on bare metal. Of course, VirtualBox, VMware server, VPC all needs bases OS as the host. Yes, the tasks you mentioned are right. benjamin rualthanzauva _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-request-nW3y/O4m2H6nF1JIJmvOGw< at >public.gmane.org with "unsubscribe

One Day One GNU/Linux Command (FILE)

Bharathi Subramanian — 2008-08-21T04:28:01

One Day One GNU/Linux Command ============================= file -- Try to determine the FILE type. Summary: File tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are 3 sets of tests, performed in this order: File System Test, Magic Number Test, and Language Test. File System test will examine the return value of the stat(2) system call, to see if the file is empty, or a special file (block, char, pipe, dir, link, socket,..). Magic Number test will try to match the file with particular fixed formats. For example, a binary executable files will have magic number in some fixed position to indicate the OS, that file is executable. Few standard data files also following the magic number concept. Language Test will try to find the file char set like ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-x, etc,. Once file has determined the character set used in a text-type file, it will attempt to determine in what (prg) language the file is written. Unidentified file will be classified as DATA file. Example: $ file myfile -- Print the file type. $ file -b myfile -- Don't show the filename in the output. $ file -f list -- Take the input filenames (one per line) from the file 'list'. $ file -k myfile -- Print all matches. $ file -z myfile.tgz -- Try to look into compressed file. $ file -i myfile -- Print the output in MIME format. $ file -m mymagic myfile -- Use custom magic file. # file -s /dev/hda? -- Take blk/char special files as an argument. Read: man file HTH :) -- Bharathi S _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-request-nW3y/O4m2H6nF1JIJmvOGw< at >public.gmane.org with "unsubscribe

Rahul Sundaram — 2008-08-21T03:45:50

Not really. VMWare has a hypervisor based solution for quite sometime now. http://www.vmware.com/products/vi/esx/ If you compare the model of VMWare ESX and Xen, they are quite similar where they both have mini operating systems running as hypervisors. What is different is the KVM one where Linux itself as a "hypervisor" http://udrepper.livejournal.com/15795.html http://blog.codemonkey.ws/2008/05/truth-about-kvm-and-xen.html Rahul _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-request-nW3y/O4m2H6nF1JIJmvOGw< at >public.gmane.org with "unsubscribe

rajasekhar kuppa — 2008-08-21T03:34:19

is this so in Xen 3.1 running on top of a Intel VT supported architecture? I heard that running an OS with out changing it is now possible with the above mentioned combination which is why CITRIX has bought Xen source . I might have heard wrong but could some one shed some light on this please !!

Thanks I will try that. But an interesting thing happened -- something I always do. The Sify engineer that came to my place to rectify the problem. I bombarded him so much with GNU/Linux thing that he ended up returning a DVD of Ubuntu which I burnt for him. Right now he is installing it.

Debian-Med project preferred BioPuppy Linux

Prakash Srinivasan — 2008-08-20T15:46:14

Dear All, I gladly inform you that, BioPuppy Linux is now encouraged by one of the Debian project called Debian-Med. The Debian-Med project presents packages that are associated with medicine, pre-clinical research, and life science. Its developments are mostly focused on three areas for the moment: medical practice, imaging and bioinformatics. BioPuppy is a preferable Linux OS for Debian-Med project to add all the debian Bioinformatics packages into BioPuppy Linux. For more details about Debian-Med project, http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed Dear ILUG members. I am expecting contributors for BioPuppy project from Bioinformatics field. Let me know any one from bioinfo and please, if you know any one from out of this ILUG, inform about it to them.

It was a typo. I apologize. I meant MTNL. Some of the friends suggested that when down it could be a mess to get rectifies, thus I asked. If you have a good experience with them, then I will definitely give them a try. Does it need some tweaking to make GNU/Linux work on it, or it works out of the box?

Whats MSNL?!! If you mean BSNL, I have been using it for 4 years now -at distant Avadi - without a glitch except for once when the BSNL cable got damaged because of digging by somebody else. Other than that incident, I have never had to contact them. It just works. regds, mano

KDE Automount not working

Kumar Ravichandran — 2008-08-20T13:47:36

Dear ilugc members, For a few days now, KDE has stopped automounting my USB and CDs. I seem to have to mount them myself now. To perform some diagnostics, I attempted to purge and reinstall hal, udev and kdebase-kioplugins, but to no avail. Then, to check if the problem was something in my KDE dotfiles, I moved away my .kde and tried again, but it failed once more. Finally, I created a new user and added that user to most of the relevant groups (inclding plugdev), but I still failed to get it working. Most of the forum posts I have read suggest one of the solutions I seem to have tried above already, and really wonder how to proceed. Could someone make any suggestion, please? The relevant packages with their versions: ii kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5 core I/O slaves for KDE ii udev 0.125-5 /dev/ and hotplug management daemon ii hal 0.5.11-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii dbus 1.2.1-3 simple interprocess messaging system I should also mention that on one occasion immediately after I noticed that automount had stopped working, it suddenly worked when I restarted X, but not since. Thanks very much.
