F11 connection probs in internet
by gaurav agrawal
I istalled fedora 11 with / partition with ext3 filesystem and 500 MB swap
partition.
I have followed the same procedure i have been following for f9 and f10.
when f11 loaded, the palimpsest disk utility shows that you have errors on
disc.
i installed a fresh copy of f11 again but the same problem arises.
I am unable to configure my internet connection(ppp using ethernet..bsnl
broadband) through system--> administration-->network
The activate/deactivate buttons appears grey.
When i try to configure through system-->preferences-->network conn. it let
me configured but when i check the box 'apply to all users' and try to
apply it shows 'saving connection failed :(0) can't write connection type
pppoe.
When i configure it without checking the box it do get configured but the
internet disconnects automatically after few minutes frequently.

Report on Inauguration of LUG@RTUKota
by Ayush Maheshwari
*Inaugural ceremony of
LUG@RTUKota<http://groups.google.co.in/group/lug-kota>
*
Hello all,
On the auspicious day of Navratra Sthapna ( i am not an
atheist ) and Software Freedom Day ( but i am linux lover ), 19 Sep
'09 , the event was scheduled for 10 a.m. & as you all know, the
timely events generally begin with an hour-or-so delay (atleast in
India,to be true ), this was an exception,we started it with mere 20
minutes delay ( surprised here for the first time ) .
We didn't made much publicity about such happening in the college,only
few notice & mouth publicity was done .
The turnout was superb nearing to 60 ( & the hall was packed ), we
certainly didn't expect this much on govt. holiday .We were overawed
( surprised for the 2nd time ) .
Thanks to Electronics Deptt., we got the Resonance hall & thanks to
the working A.C.s , we got no unwanted environmental problems .
The LUG@RTUKota inaugural event began at 10:20 a.m. with the gracious
presence of Dr. S.C.Jain Sir ,HOD,Computer Deptt.; R.K.Bayal Sir,
Professor,Computer Deptt; Dinesh Jain Sir,Professor,Computer Deptt .
I started the presentation with LUG@RTUKota formation objectives & the
plans ahead .
The HOD Sir then inaugurated the LUG@RTUKota group & explained the
history of Open-Source software & Linus Torvalds and gave other
historical & futuristic importance of Open-Source .
Then Bayal Sir, who mentor us for LUG@RTUKota formation, presented the
difference between the Open-Source & Closed-Source software & benefits
of former above latter .He presented the beautiful & astonishing
comparison of linux v/s windows,which explains how can we save 5 Lac
rupees ( approx 11K $ ) straight by using Open-source softwares .
After that beautiful comparison, I made an interactive presentation
( i am not glorifying myself, here ) over why should we switch over
from Windows to Linux .
The misconceptions regarding Linux were removed .
The benefits of using Linux over Windows ,the large range of distros
available to choose & discussed the most downloaded distros Ubuntu &
Fedora .
After that,Jain Sir gave vote-of-thanks to the students & assured them
of their support for LUG@RTUKota & encouraged us to do regular
meetings .
Then Gaurav Agarwal , gave beautiful presentation on how to install
Fedora and covered the various options available such as
1.WUBi ( Ubuntu inside Windows )
2. Installing using LiveCD,
3. Installing on VirtualBox
4. Hard-disk Installation
He focussed on the most difficult part ( as we got to know by
surverying the students ;for detailed report regarding the survey
report ,you can contact us personally ) of installation i.e.
partitioning.
He explained every tiny part involved in installing Fedora .
*Install Fest ----> *
The students were already asked to come with laptops,who like to
install linux.
We presented them with wide range of distros available & their
features in split-second way.
We've volunteers who helped the students to install linux.
Fedora, LinuxMint & Ubuntu suited the students requirements and
installed subsequently with Gaurav showing them the installation
procedure .
Although, only 10 students came with laptops it was an encouraging
sign that they showed such an interest in the very first meeting .
The install fest continued for approx. 35 minutes.
*The Surprise Package ---> *
The multibootable dvd was made ( no software was used,only linux
commands were used in the making ) by me which contains 10 linux and
most importantly PuppyLinux.
I ( & few other students too ) started the stopwatch & booted the
puppylinux.
In 1 min 20 seconds the puppylinux welcome screen was displayed with
all the partitions shown.
Then i gave them insight into puppy ,that you can play songs.watch
videos,connect to network,text-processing,play games & do everything
without installing onto hard disk.
The students were overwhelmed & multibootable dvd was distributed to
those who came with blank dvds.
*Media Distribution----> *
The acknowledgements are due to following guys who helped us in
arranging medias for distribution -->
1. Sanjay Agarwal ( lug-jhalawar )--> He provided us with SFD kit
consisting of Ubuntu LiveCDs,SFD t-shirt & few SFD balloons.
2. Anirudh Singh Shekhawat ( lug-jaipur ) --> He provided us with
Fedora 11 dvds .
Then medias were distributed to the students .
The event got completed at 12:30 p.m.
The vote-of-thanks was given to students for huge turnout.
I believe,this report will give a quick account of the event for those
who missed it.They can download the presentations from the uploading
section . They need not to be depressed since it is the beginning
which is never going to end .
The *LUG@RTUKota* inaugural event crossed our expectations,we enjoyed it
most .
We assure them that we'll continue to organize lug meetings every
fortnight/month.
Great & encouraging feedbacks were given.
We expect that the formation of LUG@RTUKota will help promote the
linux and cater to the needs of linux lovers, in an otherwise
educational city of Kota ( India-->Rajasthan ).
We acknowledge the efforts of the following volunteers who help us in
organizing the event -->
Sulabh Vijayvergiya ( III year CSE )
Gaurav Gupta ( III year IT )
Ashvin Suthar ( III year CSE )
Regards,
LUG@RTUKota
P.S.--> Please pardon any grammatical erorrs , i tried my best to
avoid them .

Install Fest @ MIT manipal
by Ankur Sinha
hi,
I've just returned from a LUG 'meeting'. The first years have just been
given their laptops,and, keeping that in mind, an install fest has been
planned. Distro of choice is Fedora (second year in a row ;) )
The install fest is scheduled for the 6-8 of October. Taking stats from
the install fest at the OpenWeek[1] last sem, we set approx 120 laptops
free with Fedora. For the OpenWeek, we had burnt our own media (on our
laptops). This caused wastage etc. (since manipal does not have a place
that burns mass media, and laptop dvd burners tend to fail more than
succeed).Hence, I'd like to request media for the Install fest.
Another issue we need help on: "How to make a local repo available to
120 ppl during the install fest."
The situation is this: we dont have hardware(routers etc.), the
intranet, uhm, *sucks*, and giving them repos burnt onto a dvd again
causes lots of wastage.
What we do have : All the lug members who'll help will have laptops.
What would be the best way of providing the local repos?
Awaiting your responses,

problem in Installing new OS using Virtual box
by malathi selvaraj
hi.
I am using fedora 11
I installed sun virtual box,through rpm package download from here
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
I created new virtual machine,when i start the new virtual machine,it show
the following error
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine BOSS 2.
Virtual machine 'BOSS 2' has terminated unexpectedly during startup.
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there
is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by
executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package
first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the
vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

[X-post] Software Freedom Day @ Hyderabad
by Shakthi Kannan
Greetings!
This Saturday, September 19, 2009 is Software Freedom Day. On this day
there are couple of activities planned from my side in Hyderabad.
1. Visit to Devnar Foundation for the Blind.
This is a follow-up session, to help them with Orca, and maybe install
more systems in the labs.
Their address is:
Devnar School for the Blind
1-10-122 to 125,
Mayurmarg, Begumpet,
Hyderabad 500016 Andhra Pradesh, India
Phone: +91-40-27767931, 66175696
Please don't follow Google maps, as it is incorrectly marked.
Mayurimarg is the road next to Mayuri distributors in Begumpet.
* Please try Orca on your system, before you come to the venue. You
could bring print-outs of Orca short-cuts, Gnome short-cuts, which we
could translate into Braille for them.
* We can also add similar short-cuts from their existing proprietary
system to Orca.
2. Post lunch, around 1430 IST, we would go to Department of
Astronomy, Osmania University to deploy Fedora offline repository.
If you are interested to participate in either, please contact me
offline (not to the lists!), so we can coordinate the same. You can
also get the Fedora offline repository (Fedora 11 - 29 GB, Fedora 10 -
24 GB), and Fedora 11 DVDs, from me during this time.
Regards,
SK
