When the Symbian Foundation announced the opening up of its namesake smartphone platform on Thursday, it caused a major shift not just in the mobile landscape but also in the FOSS world. Announced by Nokia back in 2008, the transition of the leading platform from proprietary code to open source was completed four months ahead of schedule and is the largest in software history, the foundation said. “The development community is now empowered to shape the future of the mobile industry,” said Lee Williams, the Symbian Foundation’s executive director.

This is the second part of the two-part tutorial. In this tutorial, we are going to look at how to model a character head in Blender. Along with basic modeling tools we will also focus heavily on good topology and how to create a clean mesh that will deform well during animation.

My smb.conf file is as above

————————–smb.conf————————————-

Code:


# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
# read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samb...Collection.pdf
#
# Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the
# Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.
#
#---------------
# SElinux NOTES:
#
# If you want to use the useradd/groupadd family of binaries please run:
# setsebool -P samba_domain_controller on
#
# If you want to share home directories via samba please run:
# setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on
#
# If you create a new directory you want to share you should mark it as
# "samba-share_t" so that selinux will let you write into it.
# Make sure not to do that on system directories as they may already have
# been marked with othe SElinux labels.
#
# Use ls -ldZ /path to see which context a directory has
#
# Set labels only on directories you created!
# To set a label use the following: chcon -t samba_share_t /path
#
# If you need to share a system created directory you can use one of the
# following (read-only/read-write):
# setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro on
# or
# setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw on
#
# If you want to run scripts (preexec/root prexec/print command/...) please
# put them into the /var/lib/samba/scripts directory so that smbd will be
# allowed to run them.
# Make sure you COPY them and not MOVE them so that the right SElinux context
# is applied, to check all is ok use restorecon -R -v /var/lib/samba/scripts

Free online encyclopaedia Wikipedia is celebrating a new milestone – an article on Norwegian actress Beate Eriksen added on Monday took the English-language version of Wikipedia over the three million article mark. The encyclopaedia, which first went online in January 2001, now contains a total of more than 13 million articles in more than 200 languages. The English-language Wikipedia, as the oldest version, remains the leading version. The German version is second with more than 940,000 articles, and the French version is third with 840,000 articles.

Damn Small Linux Booting Problems

I recently downloaded a <a href="http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=a70973fbcb485a25d22c6676fb8a1c9ad2abd0cf” target=”_blank”>DSL iso file. I loaded the iso in VirtualBox and it worked perfectly, but when I wrote the iso to a CD using k3b and I tried booting it, I got an error. I tried booting from the disk in VirtualBox and got the same error. "FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted." Does anyone know of an iso that they downloaded that worked for them?

Writing UDEV rules to get a SCSI scanner working on Ubuntu

Posted by jfeedor | Posted in OpenSource | Posted on 16-08-2009

I’ve been setting up some Ubuntu Jaunty systems for relatives as an excuse to get rid of a lot of old hardware including some SCSI scanners. I encountered an HP scanner that was supported by sane but not recognized by Ubuntu. The device ended up with the wrong permissions preventing anyone except root from scanning. This is an explanation of how to create a udev rule to automatically fix this type of problem.

how to configure wireless now ?

Hi,

I’ve installed wireless card and I didn’t receive any error in the installation process.

Now I want to use it but I can’t make internet to work.

if I check my card with iwconfig I get the following message

Code:

wlan0    IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"Alice-34376718" 
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:18:02:85:91:C6 
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s  Tx-Power=27 dBm 
          Retry min limit:7  RTS thr:off  Fragment thr=2346 B 
          Link Quality=73/100  Signal level=-42 dBm 
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0  Missed beacon:0


"Alice-34376718" is the name of my wireless indeed… it seems already selected

but ping Google gives "unknown" host

and iwlist wlan0 scan gives No results

Is there any driven procedure to configure the wireless ?

Is maybe because I was using ppoeconfig procedure to configure windows before ?

thanks

What is the most popular language used in Open Source projects?

What is the most popular programming language used by open source developers? The answer depends on how you define popularity. According to a new study from Black Duck, a software-license code analysis vendor, C represents more than 40 percent of all code written for open source software. Black Duck made its determination by counting the actual lines of code. While C is the leader by that measure, PHP and JavaScript are on the rise when you look at the broader picture of how open source projects use programming languages.

Novell lands full-time staff on openSUSE

The openSUSE project, which creates the development version of Novell’s SUSE Linux, is getting a handful of full-time Novell developers. You might find it hard to believe that there were not already full-time staffers dedicated to openSUSE, given the importance of Linux to Novell’s future. But apparently, this has been the case since Novell formalized and opened up the openSUSE project four years ago.
