Pacenet on Ubuntu

Pacenet doesn't work on Ubuntu if you are using their low bandwidth plans. I don't understand thier company's policy why do they have to do that. They use DHCP for alloting IP. They also provide a dialer for windows. But they couldn't do that for Linux. Linux need 72kbps account. Who will buy that.

Their dialer encrypts the password and sents it to their site.
Using Ethereal I came to know my encrypted password.

To set up Pacenet on Ubuntu 5.10 Breezer I tried with.
sudo pppoeconf
Then just keep most of the things default go according to their instructions and your net is set. You just have to say sudo pon. This should ideally put your net on but what I use to get is this.
I tried various ways. My problem which I thought was MTU/MRU problem.


~$ sudo pppoeconf

I guess this must be my last try for Pacenet. Well now I have switched on to sify. It is little expensive but I am enjoying good speed...haha

Upgrading to Firefox 1.5 in Ubuntu

Recently when my netwas set up on Ubuntu. I was tempted to install many packages. Well I was use to firefox 1.5 since earlier I worked on windows xp. Now here also I wanted to install firefox 1.5 But since it was not tested it never came in repository. I manually downloaded its tar file. On its website it was given to just untar it. This worked for few of my friends but did not work for me. I had to do something for it. I put the query on the techtalk. Got some intresting answers. One good thing I learnt was the Back Port of Ubuntu.

I was suppose to just add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted
universe multiverse

And do "aptitude update"

(both the above as root)
Well it showed me some updates but I could never find firefox 1.5


I googled for certain key word and found this site. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion#head-26d21f8b635c06a9858f7bef322b3821c7545598

There were instructions to be followed for installing from the tar.gz file. Wow after following these instrctions wonderful thing happened was IT CRASHED...!!!

RSK blog progress1

Well Deployment environment used for this is

eclipse
Tomcat 5.5
Mysql 5.0
JDK 1.5

Tools used are
Corel - Draw
Photoshop
Scite (editor)


RSK Blog site compatible with Mozilla firefox and InternetExplorer

While deploying folders created are

tomcat
|_webapps
|_rskblog
|_WEB-INF
|_style
|_scripts
|_includes
|_images
|_jsp pages

in web-inf folder we have
|_classes
|_web.xml

servlets

we shall have 3 folders
dao=data object ..its function is just to play with database connection...setting conection and getting values..
vo/to=value object/transfer object.......its function is just to set the values of certain attributes or get the values of the attributes....
servlet= will contain actuall servlet..where it will decide what data should be passesd to which next jsp page



Installation of all tools is completed successfully.
Front end is almost ready.
Database creation has been started
Writing JSP codes and servlets for pages is in progress

Things to learn
embedding FCKeditor in application
To generate permalink
RSS feeds
sevlets selecting jsp

RSK Blog

We are making a Blog site viz "RSK BLOGGER". This site will allow user to create multiple blogs. Blogs are nothing but "Web + Log". Here one can just write blogs and publish his/her thoughts to the world. Writing a blog is a good way to just type in your views and made publicly available.

This software is being made using HTML, CSS, Javascripts, Servlets, JSP. MySQL is the database used. We are following M-V-C architechture which stands for Model, view and controller architecture which is used by most of the companies in their J2EE applications. Its pattern is "DAO,VO, servelt" pattern. We are trying to make it highly modularize so that it can be extended later and made as a big project.

Now model becomes your databse. View is your JSP coding. And Controller are servlets. Your database communicates with only servlets. Your servlets will establish connection get results from the database.
These servlets will be in charge of commincating with JSP pages. And passing data to JSP pages. JSP pages will display it.
The desing of this software is developed using photoshop and corel draw.

One of the hot feature of RSS feeds is something our site will support. I don't know if we can complete it in the given time or not but lets hope for the best.
