Download Wvdial with all Dependancies for Ubuntu

Hi guys,
Recent ubuntu versions ( after 8.04 ) excluded the wvdial package for some reasons.I dont know the reason but it really hurts the users like me who are connecting internet through wvdial.So we need to manually install wvdial before get into the internet.But there are three more dependancies for wvdial so we need totally four deb files to install wvdial.Here i packed all those 4 files and uploaded them as a single archieve in the following link.

(Click the link to go to the download page )

INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL :
1.Extract the archieve and get in to it through terminal.
2.Type the following command without quotes
“sudo dpkg -i *.deb”

Then as usual wvdial configuration to connect to the net.Hope you like my work.Dont forget to vote my site and scribe your comments.

GIMP the Giant ;-)

Hi guys,
Adobe Photoshop is one of the most dominant and really a good software in photo editing and everything that can be done on an image.But unforunately (for myself but fortunate for adobe ) it is a proprietary software which costs a bit high and couldn’t be affordable for all.More than that it is a closed source software where our freedom is jailed.So i dont like to use photoshop and moreover it is not available for the Linux environment.
Dont worry guys.We have Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program ) with us.It can do everything that can be done with photoshop and even more than that.It is an OPEN SOURCE software and costs nothing.So photoshop geeks have a try over gimp.Here is a little sample that i made in a minute by combining a few filter effects.

A drop of Gimp:

NOTE : I admire photoshop a lot.But i forced myself to not use it as it is a closed source proprietary software.

 

Aircel GPRS in your PC

Hi guys,

In Tamilnadu most of the mobile operators stopped their GPRS service which is used to connect our pc’s to internet.Now our only hope is Aircel.They are the only one offering pocket internet service which is affordable for most of the peoples.In linux you can connect to internet via your mobile by using the application wvdial.( For more info about wvdial read my previous post ).Here is the wvdial configuration file for aircel.

//wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”aircelgprs.pr”
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Password = aircel
Username = Aircel
Stupid Mode = 1

Delete all the contents of youe wvdial.conf and place the text above.Thats all. whoo…Hope you ll be connected..;-)

Thank you Dharanitharan.( He is the one who is using aircel pocket internet in his linux box through wvdial)

A Weird Bug in Fedora 11 ( Leonidas )

A Weird Bug

Hi friends,
When i m working with my fedora 11 i found out this weird bug.I tested it twice and i m sure it is a bug.

BUG :
1.Log in to your gnome desktop environment.
2.Mute your volume ( through the volume manager placed on the right top of your desktop panel ).
3.Now logout and login to the KDE desktop environment.
4.Now Ummute your volume ( through the same app said above.Here you can find in the bottom panel).
5.Even after unmuting you cant hear any sound.

Temporary FIX :
1.Logout from KDE and login to your GNOME session.
2.Now unmute your volume ( If i unmute volume in kde then it is not reflected in gnome.But the vice versa is false ).
3.Logout from gnome and login to KDE.Now you can hear your audios and videos.

ah..wow.I found a temporary fix for a bug.lol

Really a strange bug.Isn’t it??

I tested it in HP Pavilion dv6000.If you have a different system then check this out and comment me.

BSNL NIC Card in Fedora 11 ( No need to configure )

Hi friends,
     If you have a bsnl nic card then this post is for you.When i bought my nic card ( almost a year ago ) , i need to do several steps to configure it to use it in my ubuntu 8.04.Then i followed the same instructions in other distributions too.In fedora 10 i can configure it in the same way ,even wvdial shows the primary and secondary ip addresses but i coudnt send are receive any data packets( ping didnt work ).I recently installed fedora 11 and it works fine with my wi-fi.So i doesnt care about my NIC card.Last week my wi-fi sucks and i just gave a try to my NIC card.Wow !!! i just configured my Network Manager applet’s mobile broadband connection option to add a new connection.( Just enter your name,password and number to dial thats all bingo!! ) .The NIC card works fine.The connection is shown when you click the applet and just a click on the connection name will connect the NIC card.No need to follow any steps anywhere. So cool..isnt it ?

Fix your Virtual Box after a Kernel Update

Hi guys,
     I installed virtualbox 3 in my new fedora leonidas. It works well for my default kernel.But after upgrading to newer kernel it doesnt work and shows some error message the the kernel modules are not installed and asked me to setup my virtualbox kernel.
 
                 It also hints me to run the following command to install the new virtualbox kernel.
                                         /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

                 But it doesnt solve my problem and gave the error that your kernel source not found in the /lib/modules/ folder.I am puzzled and went through google for almost half an hour.Then i fixed it ..
  
                  Yep.Installing kernel-devel modules will fix this issue.
 
                  Command : yum install kernel-devel
 
 Cheers,

Attention : An extreme Ubuntu lover married Fedora

Hi guys,
I m an extreme ubuntu lover for the past two years.But now i felt that it is not enough for my works.So i decided to switch over to fedora.I love its rock solid performance and the bluish look.The solid player from redhat.I tried it long back and find it difficult to get drivers and codecs and ubuntu really rocks in those things.But i am inferred that rpm fusion enables fedora to get the resticted codecs and drivers with ease.So i decided to give a try.My brother gave me a HP Pavilion dv 6000 laptop to me and our college provide the free wi-fi spots at the right time.So one fine friday evening i sat with my lap and the rocking fedora 11 DVD ( Source : LFY Magazine ).The installation is smoother than the butter.I installed most of the packages.I got KDE ( Just to have a look) as well as Gnome( The one i prefer always).My endeavours with fedora will be posted shortly.

Antivirus for Linux operating systems

Hi guys,
Dont be puzzled by reading the heading.Let me tell you some scenarios.Then you will come to know whether you need an antivirus for linux or not.

Situation 1:
You are having a dual boot system with Windoze and Linux.You copied some files from your friend’s pendrive ,You didnt checked it and made a blind copy because you have linux and what the hell the virus can do( You thought in your mind ).Now you are logged into your windows operating system.All the sleeping viruses will woke up and start eating your system.What will you do????

Situation 2:
I have a system with one and only operating system and that is linux.But somehow you copied some viruses into your system and not aware of it.You sent a mail with an attachment( assume it contains some viruses and you are not aware of it ) to your friend who is using windoze.What will happen ????Bang!!!
Even you gave some data to your friend via pendrive or some other medium.If it contains some viruses then what will happen?? Bang again !!!

Solution :
Dont think that linux has no antivirus software.Even kasperski is providing one for linux.But it is proprietary and we need to spend some money.Regular updates ,regular patches,regular license
upgrades,painful ( pay money again ) version upgrades.So it is BLACKLISTED from our list.Then is there any FOSS ( Free and open source software ) for this pursose ??
Yes it is .CLAMAV.You can just install it with yum ( for
redhat,fedora) or apt-get ( Debian,ubuntu ).Install the following packages.
1.CLAMAV ( Engine)
2.CLAMAV-UPDATE ( Updater)
3.CLAMTK ( GUI )

Some useful commands to work with clamav:
1.clamscan
2.clamdscan
3.freshclam ( Update )
4.clamtk ( To start GUI )

HINT : You can clean your windows system from linux using clamav This is so cool isnt it ??

Just give a try instead of finding kasp keys dude.Worth to use
