Great news for local Ubuntu users.
Schoolnet,lk now hosts a local mirror.
see : http://www.schoolnet.lk/index.php?lang=en&for=default&page_id=37#ubuntu

It has repos for i386 and AMD64 architectures (that's for 32bit and 64bit architectures respectively).

wow Good move
Cheers..!!

Though I would love to see them add a full Debian mirror as well.

Skype -> options ->advance options ->connection -> HTTP Proxy
Enter your proxy server ip and port there.

does any one know a alternative network manager for Kubuntu (9.04 compatible).
because the existing plasma widget Knetwork-manager doesn't respond for HSPA modems.

Really annoying....
Plz help bro.

I always remove the networkmanager packages and configure network from the config files.
However, Perhaps your problem is that the modem is not recognized ?

well friend i don't think i can do that much of stuff with ubuntu
No E220 modem is perfectly recognized and it shows in the network manager.
and i created a new connection also.
but when trying to connect with that. OOooops. nothing seems to happen.
i've googled with the problem and found that it's common bug in 9.04 KNetwork-manager

That's why i'm seeking for a alternative network manager, like the one in ubuntu.
I've tried to install Wicd but it gave me error with depedency missing "Python ("
i don't know what's the meaning of that " Python ( "

I try that but it's not enough !!!


We have to permit Skype via Squid. Now it's OK,


Have to create an ACL rule based on SSL port an allow to incoming connection for port 443 via Squid and IPtables.

well ofcause the ports used by skype has to be allowed from squid.
Its just far easier to enable NAT and run all these IMs through NAT and only run http traffic though squid.

Thanks for the advice Bro


My requirement is permit only the white-listed sites through the Squid and use Skype from client side.

Now I can manage it with SQUID. I'll try NAT method also. To use NAT I have to have 2 NIC no???

well, yes you do need 2 nics to run NAT. if its a single nic environment, stick with squid

[asiridol]

need help

guys, i need your help again.. i installed debian lenny. i can't mount any ntfs partitions with rw access help me.. i tried to install ntfs-3g and here's how my fstab looks like.

/dev/hdb1     /media/windows/main     ntfs-3g    auto,defaults,users     0    0

 

[kosandpol]

instead, try :

/dev/hdb1 /media/windows/main ntfs-3g rw,users,umask=022 0 0

 

[asiridol]

give me a min. i'll try it.. thanks for ur help buddy

 

[asiridol]

no luck mate

 

[kosandpol]

use ntfs instead of ntfs-3g and see.

Generally, non root users only gets read access to ntfs drives in non widows OSes.

 

[asiridol]

yeah i can read files, but don't have rw access
