LXer: Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee for Software

Published at LXer:

In an ironic twist of fate, Microsoft's own End User License Agreement could force the software giant to pay taxes in India for selling their software due to their products being "licensed, not sold."

VSFTP not reading config???

I need to have this site working to get support for something else but don't want to leave it wide open for them. (my logging isn't even working!)

It seems like VSFTP is not reading the config file. I'm trying to set chroot_local_user=YES but can't get it to work. (I've tested and still have access to things outside the home directory.) I've tried restarting the service (which is standalone i believe) and even the system itself. Could there be a permission problem with the config file? I've also created a sym link in /etc in case the file was expected to be there.

Any help is appreciated

Server hangs when transferring files

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this post. The server I am referring to is listed in my sig. The problem I am having is when I transfer files that are over 600MB to my server. When I do that, the server hangs, and the transfer stops. I then reboot, and everything is back to normal. It was working perfectly for roughly 6-7months, but now its acting up. It works real well as a webserver, and when transferring smaller files, but the large ones (which I primarily transfer) do not go so well. I have tried transferring to both the array with 80GB drives and the array with 250GB drives, and the same thing happens. One of those 250GB hard drives in the array is an older drive that I picked up for cheap. Does it sound like a bad hard drive? Whats some good tests I can run on it within Fedora? What are the other possibilities? Sounds like a hard drive to me, but I wanted a second opinion. Thanks in advance!

HELP: Feather on usb not booting (very basic help)

Hi
I'm completely new to linux but since I have this new 8GB stick, and i use public pc's alot at college i wanted to put feather on this stick.

So i followed all the steps. formatted the stick. extracted feather0.7.4usb to the stick. extracted syslinux-2.11 to C:. (i'm working in vista btw) then i open the command line and that's where i get confused. some walkthroughs tell me to use syslinux F:, others say syslinux.exe F: ... so i tried both. the first gave a message telling me that something was trying to acces my hard drive blabla security. the other (with the .exe) seemed to work. the light on my flash drive flashed a few times and no warnings or nothing. i check the flashdrive but ther's no syslinux.exe on there. but that's how it's supposed to be i guess? (i don't understand why i just can't copy the syslinux.exe normally to the flashdrive, so did that too, but the following problem persisted).

Now here's the real problem. I boot from my USB Hard Drive, and all it gives is a black blank screen and in the top left corner a flashing cursor. And that's where it stops... I have to turn of the computer.

Please someone help i'll be forever grateful. I will even carve you name into my brandnew 8GB flashdrive. :D (ok i made that last part up ^^)

thanks

LXer: Future operating systems to remain as Windows and Linux

Published at LXer:

Gernot Heiser, professor of operating systems at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has stated that Windows and Linux will remain as the future of desktop and server operating systems. In an interview at the recent Linux.conf.au in Melbourne, Heiser said "the operating systems of the future will be called Windows and Linux, no matter what they look like". "You can't really introduce new operating systems in the desktop and server space", he added.

Partitioning question

I've been running Suse 10.3 for a while now and love it!!! BUT I've been wanting to try other Linux distros out on the same machine while keeping my current Suse 10.3 untouched. I have enough space on my 320 Gig HD to do that, but how? without having to format the whole thing :newbie:???

Thank you in advance !!!

Tab setting in vim editor!!!

Hi all,

I am a newbie to the vi editor. I use vi to write AWK progs and perl scripts. I am facing a problem of indentation. When I press enter after writing a line, the cursor is going back to the start of the line. But i want the cursor to be placed at bottom of the above lines beginning, i.e., if I typed some code from 16th column the next line should start from 16th column only, unless i change the indentation.

RT61 Wireless Card Configuration

Hi people! I am here again to bring to you a new problem.
I have recently installed a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 wireless card, and I have followed the following steps:
1- uninstalled network-manager
2- removed rt61pci module that was currently inserted into the kernel
3- compiled the rt61cvs driver
4- installed the driver with make install
5- copied the "firmware" files to /etc/Wireless/RT61STA
6- rebooted
7- configured the interface with Yast2
8- rebooted again

After all this, nothing works. I ping my wireless router and no reponse. Ping returns "Host is unreachable".

When I execute the ifconfig command it returns me this info of wlan0:
Code:

---

wlan0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:19:5B:EC:03:D5
inet addr:192.168.1.100  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:17928 (17.5 Kb)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)        Interrupt:18

---

And iwconfig returns the following:
Code:

---

wlan0    RT61 Wireless  ESSID:"linksys"  Nickname:"linux-amd"
Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Bit Rate=54 Mb/s

Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0  Missed beacon:0

---

What I see here is that "Link Quality" is 0. I also have Windows XP installed and my network functions properly with the same network values (ip addr, net mask, gateway).

Does anyone know what could it be the problem?? If anyone needs more information about the situation, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance!

Vampire Weekend live on SNL

For those of you who were away from a television set a couple of weekends ago {or for those of you attending the festival where Vampire Weekend was supposed to be playing} here are the two tracks that they played that night on SNL. I know that SNL is a rather limiting venue as far as live concerts are concerned and I wonder if the boys in Vampire Weekend have more fun with their songs when they’re not under the scrutiny of a million plus viewers.

mp3 : Vampire Weekend - A-Punk (Live on SNL)
mp3 : Vampire Weekend - M79 (Live on SNL)
