You will notice that XPS 1330 intel HDA is not working under linux , you need to load snd-hda-intel module as 3stack model ,

echo options snd-hda-intel model=3stack > /etc/modprobe.d/sound

 

webcam is not supported by kernel yet , get uvc driver from here .

well , it seems lees likely to happen because of Family related problems , still got one year anyway ;)

this topic is not much of “Foss” but im going to give you some notes on How to do it .
it fairly simple and you probably will not have any trouble if your provider Is listed on your palm , but what if its not ?

well this document will solve that kind of problem ;)
there are few thing that you need to do first .


1 > Update Palm rom and install palm Phonelink update.
2 > Pair the devices ( your cell phone and Palm ).
3 > Make a new connection to phone you paired via bluetooth
4 > Make new connection , go to details and write down this script :
SEND: AT&FX1E0V1
Send CR
Send CR
Send: AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,mtnirancell;
Send CR ATDT*99***1#
Send CR
Wait For: CONNECT
End

get out and select connect .


note that you have to change APN (mtnirancell) to your own Provider apn name .

T5 is must popular and powerful ( as well as expensive ) series of Palm tungsten products , got some cool features like Drivemode ( usb mass storage ) ppp and vpn compatibility and others that i can't remember , but after all ( like any other expensive toys on market ) its a bit kind tricky under Linux , i have searched all over the net to find some sort of howto in this regards and there were nothing there , it takes 15 hour hard work to get use all features of Tungsten T5 .

rUSBer , the Router Replacement USB ;

rUSBer Is Emergency LiveUSB with aim to be replacement for Main Router Hardware/Linux box on Networks with all of kernel 2.6 Shaping/Scheduling and etc features . the idea is that to create some 80-100 megabyte Image to easy can be write on USBdevices and get the LiveUSB work as main router , the main idea is simple , put all Hardcore Network related tools ( tc , ip , tcpdump and stuff ) as network administrator i was always feel the lack good router replacement tool , you know , something you can just put and let it work , also its great that this kind of simple ( and fast because of USB ) devices can replace Hard damage , Stolen Cisco Router(!) and etc ! :)

first i was planing to put project on SF but after a while ( well , SF start to get slow and look like CNET! ) i believe that Berlios is far more better choose , well , right now Berlios supports SVN and other cool stuff and as far as i can remember SF still is Unable to provide SVN services , after all i will let Zoollinux to remain on SF and I'm gonna put rUSBer on Berlios , homepages will be at Zoup.org using MediaWiki ( i know the issue with zool site !)

heres my resume! :

FreeRadius Online Users MRTG Not over SNMP


it was a long time since i was looking for some MRTG Diagram for Users who are On line at our FreeRadius radius system , The FreeRadius maintainer Alan Dekok says that FreeRadius SNMP subsystem have no support for exporting On line users , little search on FreeRadius users list shows that a lot of other users have the same problem , well , this document describe how you can have MRTG of your on line users .

i was running Mysql as database and FreeRadius 1.0.5 as server .

well , MRTG is some sort of cool software , using it isn't that kind of hard that you might imagine , in fact its really easy to create some (easy) Custom Graphs with MRTG .

for this to work you need MRTG installed , not that we are not going to use SNMP at anyway . also note that this document describe using MRTG and Mysql database server , the very little application that i wrote can be tweaked a bit to work over Postgres and other databases .

first we need this little application , you can copy paste or optimize it somehow ( FIXME : always shown +1 on line user ) and put it under /usr/bin/radmrtg for example :


#!/bin/bash
mysql radius -e "select username from radacct where AcctTerminateCause like '';" | wc -l
mysql radius -e "select * from radacct where AcctTerminateCause like '' and Username not like '%@%';" | wc -l
uptime
echo "FreeRadius"


NOTE: the second mysql line just separate Real Users , you can comment or remove that line if you did not have any realm or you have no care about it , just cut of the second line


and your /etc/MRTG.conf must look like this :

######################################################################
# Multi Router Traffic Grapher -- Sample Configuration File
######################################################################
# This file is for use with MRTG-2.5.4c

# Global configuration
WorkDir: /var/www/admin/dialup_admin/htdocs/MRTG
WriteExpires: Yes


Target[load]: `/usr/bin/radmrtg`
MaxBytes[load]: 130
Title[load]: Online Users
WithPeak[load]: wmy
PageTop[load]: Online Users
Options[load]: growright, gauge, nopercent, unknaszero
YLegend[load]: Load
ShortLegend[load]: ;
LegendI[load]: Total Users:
LegendO[load]: Realm Users:


you see that "Target[load]: `/usr/bin/radmrtg`" Line ? The secret of MRTG Custom Graphs lies in this line ;)
now run MRTG , give it a few minute and it will work , as expected .

please , if you have any sort of comment ( specially in patch form ;) ) shot a comment here .

Hopefully many of you managed to catch at least the majority of Pink Floyd's amazing set at the London Hyde Park Live 8 concert last night.

With the concert overrunning two and a half hours over its extended finish, the band didn't manage to hit the stage until around 11pm, but it was worth the wait. Many reports in the media attested to the fact that the Floyd, reunited for this one, special occasion with Roger Waters, were one of the bands that stole the show at Live 8.

 (More)

David Gilmour made the following statement: Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. Its crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then its got to be worthwhile.

After many denials from the band's management, David Gilmour apparently decided Friday that he would like to get the band together for Live 8, according to Brain Damage, one of the most reliable sources out there. Adding credence to this story is a quote from Gilmour himself describing his reasons for wanting to participate and a report that Bob Geldof was the one who convinced Roger to talk to Dave. The performance has also been confirmed by the official sites pinkfloyd.com (now owned by the band's management) and pinkfloyd.co.uk (owned by EMI Records).
