PPPOE Internet Configuration For OpenSolaris 2008 05
PPPOE Internet Configuration For OpenSolaris 2008 05
One of the first things I had to learn when I moved from Windows to OpenSolaris was to get my Internet up and running. I had an Airtel broadband connection which followed the PPPOE (Point to Point Protocol Over Ethernet) network protocol. I had to experiment a bit and due time got a proper process established for network configuration. So if you are also planning to setup a broadband connection in OpenSolaris, edit the following files accordingly -
/etc/ppp/pppoe.if
INTERFACE
And reboot.
/etc/ppp/peers/ISP
sppptun (what device to use)
plugin pppoe.so (initialize the connection)
connect "usr/lib/inet/pppoec INTERFACE" (connect string)
persist (if the connection dies, bring it back)
user "USERNAME" (username)
noauth (do not make the other side authenticate itself)
noipdefault (let them give you what IP they want to give you)
noccp (no compression)
novj (no compression)
noaccomp (no compression)
nopcomp (no compression)
defaultroute (add an appropriate default route)
usepeerdns (for dns)
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
"USERNAME" * "PASSWORD"
Remember these are tabs and not spaces.
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
"USERNAME" * "PASSWORD"
Remember these are tabs and not spaces.
Check your work by executing the following command at the terminal -
sppptun query
Sample Output
INTERFACE:pppoe
INTERFACE:pppoed
Execute the following set of commands to finalize the procedure -
rm /etc/resolv.conf (remove the resolv.conf file from /etc)
link /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf (instead link the resolv.conf from /etc/ppp to the one in /etc)
vi /etc/nsswitch.conf (make sure "hosts" and "ipnodes" resolve through "files dns")
Start the internet connection by the following commands -
/etc/init.d/pppd start
/usr/bin/pppd call ISP
Remember many of these files require root privileges, so login as super user using the su command.
INTERFACE is found out from ifconfig from the terminal. Eg. e100g0
ISP is the service provider you are connected to. Eg. airtel
USERNAME is the user name with which you login. Eg. 04040142943@touchtel.india

OSCON 2008 Day 3
OSCON 2008 Day 3
Today, I gave my first OSCON talk on Laika. I think that the talk went pretty well. I had plenty of good questions from the audience, and I think I may have been able to snag a few people who were interested in contributing.
The speaking experience was pretty cool. I was in a fairly small room, and probably had about 20 to 30 people in the audience, which was pretty non-threatening. I would have been more nervous in one of the more cavernous rooms with 200 people.
As for the rest of the conference today...
XMPP has a lot of buzz for communicating in the cloud. There were a few talks on that today.
There is a lot of Ruby stuff going on outside of web apps. RAD seems to have a lot of buzz for using Ruby to work with Arduino. Rubys also behind Adhearsion, a tool for building IVRs.
I missed the talk on CouchDB, but some of the folks Im out here with said it was great.
On a conference logistics note... I was kinda bummed that some of the talks had filled, so I couldnt get in. I wound up missing the talk on Hypertable as well as one on XMPP in the cloud.

Olympic Fashion 2008
Olympic Fashion 2008
So last week, I did a prelude to the Olympic fashion this year. Now lets take a quick look at reality. Most teams werent very exciting and the whole parade dragged, but here are a few of my highlights:
The much hyped up uniform of the US team by Ralph Lauren did not disappoint expectations. It was elegant, smart and clean cut, a very good representation of the US team.
Definitely not as bad and commercialized and humiliating as American Politics made it sound and appear (above right) like. The logos, even of the Olympics were discrete and appropriately sized. And as for the cutting, I cannot quite tell from the pictures, but they appear fine to me. Granted I wouldnt really wear this uniform out in public (being hip and fashionable obviously is not a priority), but given the occasion and how they had to design it for both sex, I thought it was really well done.
Another country I rather liked was Britain. I thought the uniform for women was much more feminine, with the navy dress, white blazer and belt, that gives it more shape. Though I must say, I think the over all look is compromised by the fact that so many of them are wearing the same thing. I know that is the idea of uniform, but... I guess thats why people dont like it when they clash clothes!
A few more examples of potentially cute looking outfits being compromised by replication: France (left) and Romania (right). The French looked simple yet chic (maybe minus the bag though...). The color of the Romanian teams outfit also looks very pretty (though I probably wouldnt wear it quite so matchy matchy). And check out those pumps!Image Source: American Politics and Yahoo News

OpenSolaris 2008 05
OpenSolaris 2008 05
Following the inauguration of S.O.U.R.C.E on 20th September, there was an enthusiastic response from the members of the group to present sessions on Suns open source technologies.
On 4th October 2008, a technical session focusing on OpenSolaris 2008.05 was conducted. This session had an introduction on OpenSolaris by Gautam Muduganti (Sun OU Campus Ambassador) followed by a detailed presentation by Mr. Raghuveer and Mr. Laxman, both third year CSE students.
The sessions covered the following:
- Installation of OpenSolaris in dual boot and triple boot models. The Triple boot model was emphasized as many of the existing systems had Windows XP and Fedora
- Running OpenSolaris 2008.05 under VirtualBox environment installed on Windows XP
- Package Manager features specifically for downloading additional software with emphasis on C compiler
- Creating, Compiling and Executing C, C++, Java programs
- Configuration of Internet on Router based Static IP model and on PPPOE with standard broadband connections
- An overview of advanced topics of OpenSolaris - ZFS, Image Packaging System, Dtrace, Containers
- A Live demonstration of Compiz Fusion on OpenSolaris
- A Live demonstration of installation of Triple Boot Operating System Model
The Tech-Session concluded with interaction with the audience where their queries were answered and feedback was taken so as to make the future sessions, more efficient and interesting. Following the session, OpenSolaris 2008.05 CDs were distributed among the attendees in-order to encourage them to install OpenSolaris and experiment with the operating system. The installation procedure was documented and was made available at the OSUM site for reference.
There was an excellent support from our Faculty (Mr. M.V.S. Subramanyam) who provided two write-ups on Internet configuration and installation of OpenSolaris.
A total of about 35 - 40 enthusiastic students participated in this event.

OSCON 2008 Wrap Up
OSCON 2008 Wrap Up
So Ive returned from Portland after all of the OSCON activities. The conference was good, but I definitely didnt feel like it was a good as in years past. The keynotes were OK, but there werent any that were spectacular. I hit a few sessions that were bombs, but I didnt get to one that rocked. Many were good, but nothing off the charts.
Hadoop was big on Thursday. Derek Gottfrid of the New York Times talked about how they used Hadoop and Amazon EC2 to process tons of data. Dereks presentation style is great, which mate the talk entertaining. Some folks from Yahoo were also getting into the nitty gritty details of how the whole thing works too.
The MySQL Proxy talk was good. It seems like a pretty handy tool for performance tuning and all sorts of SQL trickery.
The last talk that stood out to me was Selectricity. The project is a both a site to run elections as well as the software you can use to run elections where ever you want. One point that Benjamin Mako Hill made that I thought was interesting is that most election research goes into government elections... and these are the least likely to change. By building a tool to allow folks to conduct elections for simple things (what movie to see, who will lead the coffee club, etc.) using methods different from plurality, its a good way to sneak in alternative voting methods to the masses. That way if people get familar with Condercet when voting for the next American Idol, they may be more likely to push for election reform in government elections.
Im not sure if Ill hit OSCON again next year. I like going because its nice to get an overview of a lot of different techologies, as opposed to something like Rails Conf. But things did feel pretty shallow this year.
