20th Anniversary of Linux

Enable File Sharing In Ubuntu Using Samba

2011-02-25T03:04:00.000-08:00

We all know that there is so many difficulties in sharing files when we use Ubuntu or any Linux system. Especially when we want to connect a Linux machine to a windows machine. But I found an easy way to connect and share files from a Linux machine to a windows network. it works as same as in windows. First requirement to do that is a package called Samba .
Normally now a days the samba packages are available in the ubuntu 10.10 or higher. Try this check to know if you have Samba installed.
Open Terminal and type this command
apt-cache search samba
If Samba is installed the Output will be like this
samba – a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix
samba-common – Samba common files used by both the server and the client
samba-dbg – Samba debugging symbols
samba-doc – Samba documentation
samba-doc-pdf – Samba documentation (PDF format)
smbclient – a LanManager-like simple client for Unix
smbfs – mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x)

Dont worry if you are not having the package. just browse to the folder you want to share. then right click->click the option called Sharing Option . Then you will be seeing a warning that Package not installed, Will be a Button telling install the package. click it . and then it prompt for the Password. Type the password correctly , the Package download will start and install the package automatically.
Well that is it... Samba is installed . Or If you are fond of in doing in Terminal. here is the conmmand for you.
sudo apt-get install samba smbfs
Any Way if completed installation in any of these methods. the time is now to Check the Configurations correct
vi /etc/hostname c(To change The Host Name Of the computer)
Press Alt+f2 and type
gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
then edit the Workgroup= ur workgroup
then Uncomment the line browseable = yes (don't forget to use find and search for browseable) Uncomment the line writable = no and change "no" to yes
Save the file and close
Go back to the Terminal window and enter the following command (remember you can use any name you want): sudo smbpasswd -a username
When prompted, enter a password and confirm it.
Reload the Samba services using the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/samba reload
Then go to the "Share options" when right click to the folder which you want to share.
Tick "Share this folder" option.
Congrats....!!! Your folder has been Shared.
Go to the Windows machine type the ip addressin of your Linux machine [For that $ ifconfig in the terminal in Linux] in the Run. your Shared files are visible there...

Tutorial for creating a customized distributable Ubuntu Live CD

2010-07-22T06:59:00.000-07:00

Hope you all read my Previous work about creating a custom ubuntu live CD. It was about backup your installed ubuntu version. But now here I am discussing about creating a new customized version of ubuntu live(installer) cd to add or remove your own programs language, which will be distributable. In short you can create your own distribution of linux
The tool I used is UCK-Ubuntu Customization Kit.
Ubuntu Customization kit is a GUI tool that helps you to customizing official Ubuntu Live CDs(Including Kubunt/Xubuntu) to your needs.You can add any package to the live system such as Language packs, applications and themes.
For the stable release of the uck Visit sourceforge download center at click here

Requirements
1)About 5Gb free space in the home/user/tmp folder
2).iso image of the linux version which you want to customize
3)Internet access (For downloading additional packages)
4) If you are customizing the ubuntu 9.10 iso image. then check apt-source line "deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main" enabled for that, use

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

If you want to customize an ubuntu version other that the one you are using . you have to change the above apt-source line by editing the "karmic" to your version name.
Now after downloading and installing the uck go to

Applications>System tools>uck

Then the software ask the language you wants, Language while installation, then the software shows brows window to select the iso image of the linux version which you want to customize. after selecting the iso image give a name to your new customized linux that
you are going to create. Then another window appears asking "If you want to customize the CD manually during building" . If click yes, After mounting and expanding the iso image the software invokes a synaptic package manager and with that you can select new packages and deselect one you don't want. then continue building . Now all you have to do is wait for UCK to finish your custom Ubuntu ISO. On a slow computer, it cant take quite a while. Once the ISO file is ready, it will be saved under

~/tmp/remaster-new-files/livecd.iso.

This is My new customized ubuntu linux Which have malayalam as Default Language.I removed the transmission torrent client,added Azureus and Wvdial. For a more advanced way of customizing your Ubuntu Live CD (manually, without a GUI), see this Page

How Google works and Makes money

2010-03-16T08:20:00.000-07:00

We all know that google is the largest used search engine ever developed, and it is giving lots of features to the users without taking money form the user. I am writing here about how google works and how it earn money to become the one of the largest profitable company in the world, without taking a single dollar from the user.

How Google Works

Google works in 3 distinct parts

1) Googlebot a Webcrawler which fetches the web pages

2) An Indexer that sorts every word on every page

3) A query processor Which compares your search with the index and retrieve the result.

Googlebot

Googleboot is a web crawler which fetches the web pages and hand over it to the Indexer. Baisically it works same as our browser itself, it request pages from the server, and download the entire page to the Indexer. I am sure you will think that how it will be possible for this much sites in the net., the answer is google is using thousands of Low budget systems Which are parallely connected. so that its parallel computing power is very huge.Google can index more than thousand page simultaneously. We can add a site manually to google by an "add url form" by google www.google.com/addurl.html .

Indexer

Indexer stores the retrieve pages alphabetically by search term, with each index entry storing a list of documents in which the term appears and the location within the text where it occurs. This data structure allows rapid access to documents that contain user query terms.

Query Processor

Google's query processor process the search query you entered in the search column, and it retrieves the corresponding match from the indexer database. Google use a revolutionary algorithm called page ranking algorithm to prioritize a web page, and the high prioritized site is shown first.

Page Ranking

Page Ranking is a very complex mathematical algorithm. the simple 2 methods of page ranking are

1- Frequently visiting page is assigned more priority

2- The site having links from a highly prioritized site is also important. For example the site having link from NASA's home site will be also important. like that Google rank each page it indexed and then displayed. and this is the success behind Google.
How Google makes Money
Google does not charge even singe dollar for the use of its applications. Basically Google is one of the largest advertising company which don't ve its own advertisement. Google add the advertisements as sponsored links in the right side of the search result. In-fact it is showing the advertisement which is related to what you are searching. So Google is providing the right advertisements in the right time, and one more thing Google uses the same Page Ranking algorithm for the sponsored links also. so that Google can assure the quality of the sponsored links. If you do one click in any sponsored link of any company, some amount of money will be transferred to the Google's account from that company's account. Mesothelioma (cancer due to the asbestos) is one of the high paying keyword in Google . http://www.mesotheliomagoogle.com/

Configuring OpenCV2.0 In Visual Studio 2005

2010-01-21T09:35:00.000-08:00

After some googleing I fount that the OpenCV 2.0 binaries are compiled for the MinGW Rather than Visual Studio. So to work OpenCV in visual Studio We have to compile the source for vs2005. for that we will need the software cmake2.4 and you can download and install it and download the cmake2.0.exe. after that you ve to compile it and build it.
But Luckily I found a blog that gives the vs2005 compiled version of the OpenCV 2.0. and you can download it from here. OpenCV-win32-vs2005.exe. thanx to Zerm.
Okay.. I f you downloaded it ,install it . Then take the visual studio and go to
Tools > Options and click the 'vc++ Directories' in the 'Projects and Solutions' Option and In the Drop down list of the 'Show Directories' and Select it as Include Files and add this line to it
C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.0\include\opencv
Then Select 'Library Files' and Add this
C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.0\lib
Then Select the 'Source File' and Add this Lines
C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.0\src\cv
C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.0\src\highgui
C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.0\src\cxcore
C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.0\src\ml
Now the Configuration is almost done . Now try a simple the sample code.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "cv.h"
#include "cxcore.h"
#include "highgui.h"

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
   IplImage *img = cvLoadImage("Image.bmp");
   cvNamedWindow("Image:", 1);
   cvShowImage("Image:", img);

   cvWaitKey();
   cvDestroyWindow("Image:");
   cvReleaseImage(&img);

   return 0;
}
Before Debugging it go to the Project>>Properties>>Configuration Properties>>Linker>>Input and add the lib like this in the above snapshot. Now debug the project a prompt.It will run. This is the simplest and efficient way to get opencv Work in VS2005.
Or If you want the complex Procedure You can Follow this Link to compile the Opencv with cmake and all the stuffs click here

tutorial for seting up any usb dial up device

2009-10-08T01:42:00.000-07:00

I am writing this post by my own experience I connected internet using my bsnl telson cdma phone and I tried the same in Bsnl evdo and NIC card, and it worked. You can do this in a very simple 4 steps . I tried this in Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04, and Kubuntu 9.04 and it worked .
1: First we have to check if the modem is present(Detected ) or not We can do this method if the modem is present only.

Go to Aplications>>Accessories>>Terminal
Type $ sudo lsusb
this will list out all the usb devices in your system.
Eg: I got this
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04f2:b016 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 1165:0002 Telson Electronics Co., Ltd (this is the name of my modem)
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 15d9:0a4c
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 08ff:2580 AuthenTec, Inc. AES2501 Fingerprint Sensor
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

If your modem name is present here ,you can do this method to connect to internet

For this there is a requirement . You have to install a software called wvdial.deb. You can download this package source code from here

2: Let us discuss about how to compile the source code and install wvdial.
Extract this .tar.gz file to any directory . then

Go to Aplications>>Accessories>>Terminal
$ cd /go/to the dirrectory of the extracted source/
$ sudo ./config
$ make
$ make install
the software wvdial is installed in your computer.

3 : Type $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

Then a text file will be opened, with some 2 or 3 line in that . Just delete it and paste this

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
stupid mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = #777
New PPPD = yes
ISDN = 0
Username =
Password =
Baud = 460800

4 :
$ sudo wvdialconf
$ sudo wvdial
(Dont forget to type this sudo command before wvdial. if you are not using sudo the dialing will end by showing carrier detected and will redial but never connects )
And you are now connected to internet

But when I was connecting net in ubuntu 9.04 I used to get an error after 2 or 3 minute
I was getting this error message

--> Disconnecting at Wed Nov 21 08:25:26 2007
--> The PPP daemon has died: Lack of LCP echo responses (exit code = 15)
--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
--> I guess that's it for now, exiting
--> Provider is overloaded(often the case) or line problem.
--> The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 15)

Here is what I did for correcting this

Type $ sudo pico /etc/ppp/options
Find the line says

lcp-echo-interval 30

comment it by adding a # symbol in frond of it

#lcp-echo-interval 30

Save and
then dial using wvdial
it connects and it didn't kick me off yet.

How To Auto-mount Your NTFS Partition In Ubuntu

2009-08-15T20:52:00.000-07:00

If you are dualbooting Windows and Ubuntu on your computer, you will know that you can easily read and write to your NTFS partition from your Ubuntu desktop. One thing though, your Ubuntu does not automount the NTFS partition by default. Everytime you need to access the NTFS partition, you have to first click on the NTFS drive to mount it before you can access it.
To fix this issue the simpler way, we can install the application PySDM and access the storage device manager with a simple to use and user-friendly interface.
PySDM is a Storage Device Manager that allows full customization of hard disk mountpoints without manually access to fstab. It also allows the creation of udev rules for dynamic configuration of storage devices
Installation
You can easily install it via the Synaptic Package Manager (System -> Administration -> Synaptic package Manager). Alternatively, for those who prefer the apt-get way, here’s the command
sudo apt-get install pysdm
Usage

Once installed, go to System -> Administration -> Storage Device Manager.

You will find your all your partitions listed on the left pane of the window.The partitions are labeled in the sda1, sda2, sda3, etc format. To identify which entry is your NTFS partition, highlight each entry and check the Type field on the right pane. This will tell you the file system of that partition.

Once you have located your NTFS partition, click on the Assistant button.Check the box The File system is mounted at boot time.Uncheck the box Mount file system in read only mode.

Year2038 Problem

2009-07-08T23:27:00.000-07:00

The year 2038 problem or unix millennium bug(same as y2k problem) may cause some computer software to fail before or in the year 2038. The problem affects all software and systems that store system time as a signed 32 bit integer .For the uninitiated, time_t is a data type used by C and C++ programs to represent dates and times internally. time_t is actually just an integer, a whole number, that counts the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 at 12:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time. A time_t value of 0 would be 12:00:00 AM (exactly midnight) 1-Jan-1970, a time_t value of 1 would be 12:00:01 AM (one second after midnight) 1-Jan-1970, etc.

By the year 2038, the time_t representation for the current time will be over 2 140 000 000. And that's the problem. A modern 32-bit computer stores a "signed integer" data type, such as time_t, in 32 bits. The first of these bits is used for the positive/negative sign of the integer, while the remaining 31 bits are used to store the number itself. The highest number these 31 data bits can store works out to exactly 2 147 483 647. A time_t value of this exact number, 2 147 483 647, represents January 19, 2038, at 7 seconds past 3:14 AM Greenwich Mean Time. So, at 3:14:07 AM GMT on that fateful day, every time_t used in a 32-bit C or C++ program will reach its upper limit.

One second later, on 19-January-2038 at 3:14:08 AM GMT, disaster strikes.

Connecting Internet In Ubuntu Using any USB Dial Up Modem(Telson CDMA Modem)

2009-07-05T09:48:00.000-07:00

I am writing this with my experience I did this in the BSNL Telson CDMA Handset Modem . and got connected to Internet in Ubuntu with out installing any other driver or software. You can do this in 4 simple step in just 2 minute .
Step 1
Before we start first we have to identify that does your modem is dictated in the ubuntu step 1 is for that.
Go to Application>> Accessories >> Terminal and type
sudo lsusb then the prompt will ask your sudo(root) Password and if the password is correct All usb devices will be desplayed in the terminal. Check your modem name is in the list. If it is there you can go to the second step
arun@glasshome:~$ sudo lsusb
[sudo] password for arun:
Bus 007 Device 004: ID 04f2:b016 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 004: ID 1165:0002 Telson Electronics Co., Ltd

India - A nation Of Unity In Diversity

2009-06-27T05:48:00.000-07:00

India, also known as Bharat, is a big country. Her Civilisation is 5000 years old. She has given birth to the world’s most important religions. She provided shelter to other leading religions. People of many races have come to India and settled here. She absorbed them all into her blood and fraternized them as her children. Unity and synthesis are the embodiments of Indian culture.
Physical Diversity and Unity:
India is a vast country extending from the Himalayas in the North to Kanyakumari in the South. The Himalayas separate her from the rest of Asia. The Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean make her a peninsula. We find endless diversity in the Indian sub-continent from the physical point of view. There are wide differences in her climate, temperature, rainfall, soil, agriculture, flora and fauna etc., Yet the fact that Indian economy has been primarily agricultural led to the development of common characteristics and common outlook. Today India is divided into 28 States and 6 Union Territories. The States of India are divided on the basis of the languages spoken by the people.
Cultural Unity:
India’s fundamental unity rests upon her peculiar type of culture.India has achieved cultural unity by fusion of many cultures. She has assimilated the good qualities from all cultures. She has arrived at a synthesis. Her adjustability, accommodation and spirit of tolerance enable Indian culture survive several circumstances. Various cultural groups live side by side in India. This has made Indian society a multi-cultural society.

Languages in India:

People in India speak different languages. There are more than 1652 mother tongues in India. 33 languages are spoken by people numbering over a lakh. In ancient times Prakrit and Sanskrit were used in most parts of India. Sanskrit is considered as the mother of all North Indian languages. Hindi(हिन्दी), Marathi, Gujarathi, Punjabi, Kashmiri, Urdu and Bengali are the major languages spoken in North India.Tamil(தமிழர்), Telugu, Oriya, Kannada and Malayalam(മലയാളം) are the major languages spoken in South India. Many Tribal languages do not have script. Out of the many Indian languages 18 are recognised as the official languages. Language has never been a barrier for India’s religious and cultural unity.

Art :

India is famous for her Carnatic and Hindustani style of music. Each region in india is famous for its style of music. There are variety of dance forms in India. Popular ones are BharataNatyam, Kuchipudi,Kadhakali,Manipuriand Odissi. All these dance forms adopt more or less similar themes from Hinduism.

Factors Promoting India's National Integrity

Tutorial for Create custom Ubuntu (live) CD - Remastersys

2009-06-06T14:56:00.000-07:00

Remastersys is very simple application that allows you to create and backup your Linux distribution, including root, home, other partitions, and all personal configuration to bootable live CD.

Install Remastersys

The first thing we need to do is install the application. By default, Remastersys is not listed in the official Ubuntu repositories.
We need add it.
To add a source, click System > Administration > Software Sources.

This will bring up a menu of all currently used sources that Synaptic (the package manager) refers to when searching f or new installations and updates. Click on the Third-Party So ftware tab for more details.

Next, click Add. This will open another window, where you need to input the new source address. The address that we require is:

deb http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository remastersys/

After adding the source Go to Synaptic package manager , then refresh it and then look for remastersys
or
open terminal and type
"sudo apt-get install remastersys"

Backup your Distribution

Now, start Remastersys. The GUI can be accessed via
System > Administration > Remastersys Backup.

You have several options to choose from:

Backup allows you to backup your entire installation, along with all the personal data and configurations.

Dist allows you to create a backup, sans your personal data, allowing you to share the "remastered" copy with other people.

Modify is useful for configuring the name and the location of the backup file, as well as some other settings. You can also manually edit and change the configurations file - /etc/remastersys.conf. It is advisable to backup the file before making any changes.

Clean is useful only after you have used Remastersys at least once. This function will remove previous builds made by the program and free up the hard disk space. You can also do this manually if you wish. It is always a good idea to run the Clean option before running a new backup.

HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb)

2008-10-29T07:35:00.000-07:00

The HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) suit works by detecting faint bioelectrical signals using pads placed on specific areas of the body. The pads move the HAL suit accordingly. The cyberdyne website explains "When a person attempts to move, nerve signels are sent from the brain to the muscles via motoneurons , moving the musculoskeletal system as a consequence. At these time very weak biosignals can be dectected on the surface of the skin. HAL catches the signals through a sensor attached on the skin of the wearer. Baised on the signals obtained, the power unit is controlled to wearer's daily activities "

Overview of Artificial Intelligence

2008-10-17T22:43:00.000-07:00

Artificial Intelligence, otherwise known as AI, is the study and development of intelligent machines capable of performing complex tasks that require thought and behavior normally associated with human intelligence. Computer programs are a common area of specialization in this branch of science. Artificial Intelligence adapts characteristics of human problem-solving skills and then applies them as algorithms easily comprehended by computer systems. Such systems are routinely and widely used today by hospitals, corporations, militaries and homes around the world.Artificial Intelligence

Do computer programs have IQs?

2008-10-17T22:31:00.001-07:00

No. IQ is based on the rates at which intelligence develops in children. It is the ratio of the age at which a child normally makes a certain score to the child's age. The scale is extended to adults in a suitable way. IQ correlates well with various measures of success or failure in life, but making computers that can score high on IQ tests would be weakly correlated with their usefulness. For example, the ability of a child to repeat back a long sequence of digits correlates well with other intellectual abilities, perhaps because it measures how much information the child can compute with at once. However, ``digit span'' is trivial for even extremely limited computers.
