Installing language support
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi, Following https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496542 Instead of cherry picking individual packages (such as the ones containing the localized strings, spell checkers, input methods etc) necessary for locale support, you can either use PackageKit, click on "Package Collections" and select the appropriate language or just do # yum install @<language>-support Example: # yum install @bengali-support @ is a short cut for group installs, Group installs provide not only a quick way to install the necessary packages but also conditionally install packages on demand. For example, when you do this, openoffice.org-langpack-bn or imsettings-xfce will be automatically installed if and only if you have Openoffice.org or Xfce respectively already installed on your system.

RE: [fedora-india] Help for Hosting Required

-----Original Message----- From: fedora [mailto:fedora@opensourcenuts.com] Sent: Sunday, April 26, 2009 8:00 PM To: 'fedora-india(a)redhat.com' Subject: RE: [fedora-india] Help for Hosting Required Hi, As per my knowledge, as ns1.csmanipur.co.in is not registered with any registrar or you can say no dns server is having any entry related to it, so, it has no meaning even if you configure it on your server. 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 dont 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. You just need to configure you webserver.

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. Hope I have been able to help.

[FYI] Regarding receipts for Fedora Events
by sankarshan 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

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

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 !
