Ubuntu 10.04 on Book G4

Last week I have got an old Apple Mac Laptop, iBook G4. I have decided to install Linux( of cources my first choice was Ubuntu 11.10, but I had some problem on installing with the beta live CD).Later I have downloded the 10.04 Ubuntu to work on my iBook you can follow these steps to boot the Ubuntu 10.04 livecd on your iBook.

Download the image for Ubuntu 10.04 for PowerPC... You can go here
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/

The desktop Live CD allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later.

There are three images available, each for a different type of computer:you have to select this from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/
Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) desktop CD

Then the next step is burn that image to a disk and insert this newly burned disk into your iBooks and reboot your iBook. Holding "c" key during booting (you have press for 10 seconds).

Next step you get the prompt to select image to boot, by default it is "live"( But in some cases do not boot it right away you need to type in this command line. "live-nosplash-powerpc modprobe ide-core video=radeonfb:1024x768-24@60")

From your live CD Desktop you can click on install to install Ubuntu on your iBook G4.All you have to do is click on shortcut on the desktop.

When you compare the speed with OS x Tiger, it is same , remember there is no support for Macromedia Flash in PPC, but you can manage with other tools(gnash..). I hope we get a better porting of ubuntu 11.10 PPC after October 13th.

Mikogo An Excellent Zeero Configuration Netmeeting Tool

Mikogo a cross-platform desktop sharing tool and it is free and Zeero Config Tool.We have tested in Ubuntu 10.04 Linux. Mikogo is available for Linux, Windows and Mac. There is also a web client but it lacks most of the Mikogo features so it can only be used for viewing.what we found that Mac and Windows version of Mikogo are better performance than Linux.

Mikogo can be used for web conferencing, online meetings, presentations or remote support and comes with built-in file transfer and chat features. It doesn't come with native audio conferencing but it does support it through regular phone calls.


Mikogo does not charge fees for this audio conferencing service, But it provide a list of free Phone number in few countries , please refer here for details.

What we found that , it has better quality and more secure than Microsoft tools.
Mikogo can be used for Technical or Corporate trainings, webinars , Web meetings( see a full list of features here )
Needless to say, security within Mikogo is of a high standard, with several levels of security available to protect the user’s privacy and computer data.All transmitted information during a web conference or remote support session is compressed with proprietary compression algorithms. Mikogo never sends session content in clear text, but encrypts all data using 256-bit AES encryption. ( see a full list of security list here )

GNOME 3.0 Launch Party - Zurich

GNOME 3.0 Release
On April 6th 2011, GNOME 3.0 released, the long awaited Linux Desktop to the world. It is one of the most powerful and easy to use desktop of GNOME. It includes most of the revolutionary changes in desktop world like GNOME Shell and Activity Journal. In Zurich Switzerland, the GNOME release party took place on 8th of April. This happened in the premises of ETH,the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich.

GNOME 3.0 release party featured live demonstrations of GNOME 3.0 in different Linux distributions and talks about the new features. I gave a short talk on Free software in general and few screens of Gnome 3.0. Marcus Muller, the man behind frOSCamp Zurich, gave an excellent live demonstration of GNOME 3.0 using Fedora, there were couple of active participants in this party. Marcus presentation was in German.

Bruno Friedmann, Ambassador of openSUSE in Switzerland,gave an in-depth live demonstration on openSUSE and how to get GNOME 3.0 in it. it included many powerful features and services of openSUSE like SUSE Studio.

Free Beer Version 2.0 Release

free beer products
Free Beer -An Eco-friendly,Green Energy, Socially Committed and  tasty open source  beer -  you can even free beer recipe to produce and sell our, for recipe and etiquette under a free license (Creative Commons)

This was my second meeting with free beer product, I saw a lot of satisfied clients / users who liked the previous version of free beer that was in FrOSCamp one year back in Zurich.I was surprised at the number of people who were interested in free beer. The first event happened in Sep 2011. Some snaps from the event that I have posted in my previous blog.

Pascal Mages,Roland Studer and Daniel Reichlin - Three men army behind the free beer (free beer web site). On April 1st of 2011 the new version of free beer was released. HUB was the Release location. When I started for the event there were three things in my mind, First How the HUB looks like, Second meet the people behind free beer, third to find people to discuss the CC licensing model.
The presentation was in German, but fortunately I got a translator,Dominik Scheck from CS bank.

Daniel Reichlin the Great Brewer and the Quality Controller , his presentation was very simple and natural and I think it is nice to have a Quality Controller Job in freebeer :), lot of testing and tasting to ensure the quality of Product.

The Free Beer and Dabu Fantastic Band was a nice combination. I am planning to visit brewery on 7th of May.

Open Format and MS Office Alternatives

 We have lot of Alternatives to MS Office available today to get the work done. Here are dozens of FREE alternatives to what Microsoft Office has to offer. We can select a web based or normal productivity suite. If you are always connected you can go for a web based office software suite.

With my experience I suggest to use Zoho (Zoho offers a suite of online web applications which is easy to collaborate. Zoho suite goes beyond that by offering a wiki, a planner, email , CRM etc..

Zoho provides a wide, integrated portfolio of rich online applications for businesses. With more than 20 different applications spanning Collaboration , Business and Productivity applications


The second choice is Google docs, Zoho  is
far better than google docs) In both you can create word processing documents, spreadsheets ,presentations and lot more. You can share these documents with friends and co-workers quite effectively with the push of a few buttons. 
Zoho 
Open Office can install in Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, it is better solution for those who are looking for a free open source alternative to the MS Office.

KOffice
  have distros for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux , there are eight packages in this suite, including  project planning and image editing tools.

Lotus Symphony ,Libre Office,Abiword,Atlantis Nova ,SSuite Office and too many are in the list, but till this time MS office have one only competitor product , that is Zoho.

I am sure people have tried all most all these free suites to abandon MS Office, but the reality is, they always come back to MS office suites. The main reason for this trend is compatibility problems. So what we need along with Free Software and Open Source, we need Open Format in Software and in hardware too.

Migrate From Microsoft Windows or Mac OS to Linux

We support individuals and corporations for moving from Windows/Mac to Linux, when you decide you want the stability, flexibility, and a virus free environment of Linux. Recent few years we can see a steady growth in migration from Windows to Linux and the number of enterprises migrating from Windows to Linux is a dramatically growing during 2005 to 2010.

What most people do not realise is that there are very simple ways to help ease this migration. Microsoft Windows is one of the first computer operating systems  for individual and corporations,It is easy to use for a layman user during late 90s,but that doesn't mean it's perfect till this time. In fact, Microsoft Windows operating Systems cause continual trouble or distress by bugs, viruses, crashes and many other serious problems that can make your computer difficult to use. Linux, however, is much more stable, more user friendly than Apple Mac or MS Windows and, more importantly, it is free, no worries about Licence or software piracy and NO VIRUS threats.

1. Select a Linux Distribution

If you decide to migrate from Windows to Linux, you will need to take few steps before doing so. The first things is selecting a Linux distribution. There are hundreds  of Linux distributions out there, for just about every type of user and every type of use. There have been plenty of distributions that have attempted to mimic the look and feel of Windows and Apple Mac as closely as possible.We cannot say that which is the best distribution, it is just like which food is the best, it depend on your taste and need.

In my experience,we can select Ubuntu, OpenSUSE,Mandriva or Redhat. If you are new to Linux, Ubuntu will be the easiest distribution to learn, you will be addicted to great nice graphical user interfaces. Mandriva and OpenSUSE are also very popular versions of Linux.

2. Backup your Files and Configurations.

Back up all of the files you wish to keep when you migrate to Linux from Windows / Mac. If you are doing a complete reinstall on your drive and removing Windows completely, then these files will end up formatted and lost. Backing them up will allow you to replace them on the hard drive once Linux is installed.

3. Check your hardware

When you install a new operating system, and find a particular piece of hardware is not supported your computing life has become infinitely more difficult,but nowadays hardware incompatibility and driver support is not a problem with Linux Distributions, but this was a biggest issues that many people have had in the past eigh to ten years back, there are instances where a specific piece of hardware were not supported. You have to give particular attention to Networking cards, video cards, sound cards, I prefer to note down the details of this card name and their versions.

4.Export your Email contacts and Bookmarks.

Export your important contacts and personal information from Outlook or other mail clients in your Windows machine, backup all or important email messages, web browser preferences, email and browser configuration, and so on. Don't forget to backup your bookmarks from Internet explorer or other browsers.

5.Install the Linux distribution

Download and install the Linux distribution you've selected, then install other applications for use with your new Linux OS.

There is a nice website called OSAlt has a large database, comparing Windows applications to open source equivalents which can usually be run on Linux. You can find alternatives or better alternatives for Visio, Photoshop ,Dreamweaver, AutoCAD, WinZip, Movie Maker, MS Project, Norton Ghost, Access, Publisher, Sound editor etc...

Reference.

1.A complete migration guide,can be found at Tom's Hardware

2.Screen shots of my favourate linux Distribution, which i have installed in my machines can be found Linux Club Album.

An old story and few snaps

 Microsoft Xenix OS, an operating system for 16-bit computers, based on the  BSD 4.1. It was on 1976, when there was no Linus or Linux. It is really funny to, when we compare the current price of Windows 7 Pro or Apple Mac Leopard 5.6 with the price of a Microsoft OS In 1976, In 1976 the cost of Operating system  from Microsoft was $1000 to $7500 for educational institutions and from $5000 to $40,000 for full commercial open source (per CPU). On 1981, the IBM 5150 Personal Computer gained popularity.

Then, on 1984, the Apple Macintosh Released - Apple Computer- In 1980, ten years before (there was no known Linus or Linux),  Microsoft announced XENIX OS Microsoft port of Unix for various 16-bit microprocessors,
and the story continues , only an year later, in 1981 Microsoft purchased all rights to 86-DOS and "IBM Personal Computer DOS 1.0" was ready for the introduction of the IBM PC in October 1981, during this period development of XENIX and DOS was in parallel and XENIX greatly influenced DOS design.For six years (from 1984 till 1990) Microsoft was one of the leading Unix vendors, the provider of the  first cheap large volume commercial Unix and, simultaneously, owner of a major branch of Unix  -- Xenix
When we analyze MS was trying to bring all known and powerful features of XENIX in to DOS and they have announced all XENIX features for upcoming versions of DOS. That shows that Microsoft certainly tried to bring UNIX features to DOS,  but the forks, multitasking, and multi-user support never materialized. Till 1980s  Microsoft was used XENIX for  Internet gateways, running Sendmail and they functioned as internal gateways between MSMail and Exchange while the company converted everyone over to having personal mailboxes on an Exchange server. In 1996 completely removed XENIX internal network ( Microsoft's Local Area Network (MILAN) was on XENIX during that time).
 The important fact that MS was essentially a software company with Vision  can controls and extends the PC hardware standard without the Microsoft Vision in PC hardware standard there can be no any substantial base for Linux at all because price of hardware is discounted due to the volume of Microsoft software sells.  In this sense Linux is a side effect of Microsoft dominance.

FrOSCamp Zurich


FrOSCamp Zurich, an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees from all over Europe on Open Source and Open Standards. It is an international network of user generated non-traditional social conferences: open, participatory workshop-events,  often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. Oh and super fun!!

FrOSCamp was  First of its kind in  the ETH University premises, The camp was being organized by Sandro of ORGA Team ,I think this program is an excellent start in the right direction by ORGA team to facilitate open source Promotion.We will also had a fancy party with creative commons licensed beer [Free Beer] and music in the evening of the first day of the event.

An Open Source Beer, which means that the recipe is under a creative commons license. It is open to everyone and everyone can make the brew beer or make yourself.You may even sell it and get rich with free beer,It Is produced by the Wadi Bräu as organic beer.It is a bright, naturally cloudy beer in special bio-quality buds. Brewed and bottled beer free from the Wadi-Brau-Huus AG in Wädenswil on the beautiful lake of Zurich.

OpenSUSE 11.3: The Linux for layman users

One week back I have installed a fresh copy of OpenSUSE 11.3 on my personal laptop (Copmaq Presario CQ61),This is very stable and optimized for performance without using much CPU resource, and what I feel this is a lightweight distribution.
I have used KDE 4.5 which is the better than any other propitiatory Operating System in performance and User Interface.I can say that this is for layman users or normal users of computers. With my experience in using various Linux distributions,OpenSUSE  resists to all update events and don't crash. This is the part that what I suggest this for a final user, for his daily activities.
OpenSUSE 11.3 uses KDE 4.5 along with Compiz Fusion for Desktop Cube kind of animations, which create an illusionary effects in UI for a normal user.

Compiz Fusion  seeks to provide an easy and fun-to-use windowing environment, allowing use of the graphics hardware to provide impressive effects, amazing speed and unrivaled usefulness, Compiz Fusion is an open-source software project, meaning anyone can use it and contribute to it freely.

All in all, I've found that openSUSE is, once more, a great Linux distribution.

KDE 4.5 Screen Shots

KDE 4.5 Screen Shots are here, I have successfully updated the KDE 4.5 Beta on my openSuse 11.2 Machine, See the screen shots of KDE 4.5 Screen Shots , after these updates I have solved another problem with Amarok Audio Player, Initially it had no sound.openSuse with KDE 4.5 is not so light or fast in machines having less than 1GB RAM. In my experience it is not a lightweight desktop distribution, when we compare with other linux distros, openSUSE 11.2 has a good Network Manager. Overall openSuse 11.2 with KDE 4.5 is an excellent release, I am using Compaq Prasario CQ61. I have put more screen shots of openSUSE 112. with KDE 4.5 here. In my experience openSUSE 11.2 runs faster, smoother, utilize  power more wisely, has a more polished desktop, and simpler installation. I got a decent, colorful choice of programs, lots of useful utilities, plus centralized management by YaST, which is smarter and easier to use than ever before. The one sore point is package management - it's slow. It works great and makes some quite intelligent choices, but waiting a whole minute for it to complete caching the repository info is too much. If only this could be solved - somehow, openSUSE 11.2 would be perfect. When they release the Final we hope it will be solved.

Installing and Running Linux on Sony PS2 Devices and Intel / Mac Computers

Linux can be installed in any INTEL based Mac Machine, here I have used a Mac Mini. It was successful (*please search for @installing Linux on Mac"), the same way and we can install on the Sony Play Station 3 video game console (try Mandrive,Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Yellow Dog, Gentoo. Linux kernel supports PlayStation 3, so no worries about patches or hacks are required to install and run a full-featured distro.

Use Xross Media Bar (XMB) menu of your Playstation,
XMB menu, select System , Format Drive to PS3 HDD.then do a classic a partition for the hard drive by selecting to Custom Partition and allocate atleast 10GB to the PS3 System. your Play station will restart after this.After restart login and insert your favouraite Linux CD/DVD installer. After this step go again from the XMB menu, go to "System" and then "Install Other OS". The PS3 will search for others.bid from the installer. Once found, install it. After the installation, you can now set the PS3 to boot Linux by default by navigating to System (Default System to Other OS) thats all..your PS3 is a PC

The Simple Economics of Open Source

Why in the world would anyone take the time to write complicated software programs for free?


It's a good question, one that has piqued the curiosity of a number of economists, who wonder what benefits, if any, lie behind the burgeoning "open source" movement in technology.


After all, outwardly the situation smells of economic anarchy. Where are the market forces, when thousands of talented programmers—and even many commercial firms—spend inordinate amounts of time writing and sharing computer source code: an activity that apparently gives the individuals and companies involved no pay-off, no reward?


Could it be driven, as some media reports have admiringly suggested, purely by intellectual fervor on the part of programmers, perhaps coupled with a noble desire to share and dispense knowledge to benefit mankind?


Not so fast, say HBS Professor Josh Lerner and his colleague Jean Tirole, an economist at the University of Toulouse and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In their new working paper, "The Simple Economics of Open Source," Lerner and Tirole make the case that an idealistic notion of programmer altruism only goes so far. After all, the pair argues, generosity and knowledge-bearing have not really been guiding factors in other industries: so why would they dominate the computer field?


Instead, they suggest, laboring on open source brings developers and companies specific, tangible and very favorable economic benefits: benefits that are sensible, potentially quite lucrative and, in a word, simple. Altruism is just a nice by-product.

Using Fast Enumeration

Using Fast Enumeration
The following code example illustrates using fast enumeration with NSArray and NSDictionary objects.

NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:

        @"One", @"Two", @"Three", @"Four", nil];

for (NSString *element in array) {

    NSLog(@"element: %@", element);

}

NSDictionary *dictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:

    @"quattuor", @"four", @"quinque", @"five", @"sex", @"six", nil];

NSString *key;

for (key in dictionary) {

    NSLog(@"English: %@, Latin: %@", key, [dictionary valueForKey:key]);

}

You can also use NSEnumerator objects with fast enumeration, as illustrated in the following example:

NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:

        @"One", @"Two", @"Three", @"Four", nil];

NSEnumerator *enumerator = [array reverseObjectEnumerator];

for (NSString *element in enumerator) {

    if ([element isEqualToString:@"Three"]) {

        break;

    }

}


NSString *next = [enumerator nextObject];

// next = "Four"

For collections or enumerators that have a well-defined order—such as NSArray or NSEnumerator instance derived from an array—the enumeration proceeds in that order, so simply counting iterations will give you the proper index into the collection if you need it.
NSArray *array = /* assume this exists */;

NSInteger index = 0;

BOOL ok = NO;

for (id element in array) {

    if (/* some test for element */) {

        ok = YES;

        break;

    }

    index++;

}

if (ok) {

    NSLog(@"Test passed by element at index %d", index");

}

iPhone SDK installtion on PowerPC G4 Mac Mini (Non Intel Mac)

These are contents from different blogs,sites and forums combined together for a successful installation of iPhone SDK on PowerPC G4 which I've used to install iPhone SDK.

I managed to install the SDK completely (in the right place) without using Pacifist, fully working on a Mac Mini PowerPC G4 32 Bit. My root partition is still spammed with 5 gb of redundant crap for following this "Tip", but thats why i decided to let others know there's another better way of getting it to work:

Pre Installation Steps( Create Installation Package for PowerPC G4)

1. Make the iPhone SDK.dmg read/write-able with Disk Utility using convert -> to read/write.
2. Mount the R/W dmg.
3. You need to delete some unneccessary file so that you can modify the installer config file, because the image is completely full. I choose the PDF in the root of the dmg.
4. Modify iPhone SDK/iPhone SDK.mpkg/Contents/iPhoneSDK.dist :(Right Click on "iPhone SDK.mpkg" from the Mounted disk ans Selelct "Show Package Contents"

Once we Select this menu, We will get a list of files . From this list ,Select iPhoneSDK.dist and edit with any text editor and you have to edit three functions from this file as follows..

- Goto Line number 70 and

function agreedToSLA()
{
var res = system.run("tempfileexists", "insttmp_37253734");
if( res == 0 ){ return true; }
my.choice.tooltip = system.localizedStringWithFormat('TT_NOIPHONESDK');
return true; // By default it is false
}

function SDKPresent()
{
var res = system.run("tempfileexists", "insttmp_37253735");
if( res == 0 ){ return true; }
system.log("To install the iPhone SDK you need to agree to the iPhone SDK License agreement through the GUI interface.");
return true; // By default it is false

}

function isIntel()
{
var res = (system.sysctl('hw.byteorder') == '4321');
// by default is 1234 change this to 4321

if( !res ){ my.choice.tooltip = system.localizedStringWithFormat('TT_NOINTEL'); }
return res;
}

/// End of File
Note :
- Line 71 ( in function agreedToSLA() ) - modify "return false;" to "return true;"
- Line 81 ( in function SDKPresent() ) - modify "return false;" to "return true;"
-Line 103 (in function isIntel() change var res = (system.sysctl('hw.byteorder') == '1234'); to var res = (system.sysctl('hw.byteorder') == '4321');

Save this File, Now we are ready for installation

Once we completed this step, we can directly install IPhone SDK into Power PC . From the Installation Screen do not select Mac OS X 10.3.9 Support and Web Objects (
Web Objects is Optional if you want you can select)

Post Installation Steps

1. Once we completed the installation we have to replace a configuration file, which is used to identify the Architecture ( Make sure backup of original) as follows

Once you've moved the iPhone platform directories to their appropriate location under /Developer/Platforms, drill into: /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/
Library/Xcode/Specifications/


In this directory, you will find a file called "iPhone Simulator Architectures.xcspec" Make a backup of it and open the original in your favorite editor

Replace the file contents of "iPhone Simulator Architectures.xcspec" with the following line

(
// 32-Bit
{ Type = Architecture;
Identifier = Standard;
Name = "Standard (iPhone Simulator: i386)";
Description = "32-bit iPhone Simulator architectures";
ListInEnum = YES;
SortNumber = 1;
RealArchitectures = ( i386, ppc7400 );
ArchitectureSetting = "ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT";
},

// Old-style Debug
{ Type = Architecture;
Identifier = Native;
Name = "Native Architecture of Build Machine";
Description = "32-bit for build machine";
ListInEnum = YES;
SortNumber = 101;
ArchitectureSetting = "NATIVE_ARCH";
},

// G3
{ Type = Architecture;
Identifier = ppc;
Name = "Minimal (32-bit PowerPC only)";
Description = "32-bit PowerPC ";
PerArchBuildSettingName = "PowerPC";
ByteOrder = big;
ListInEnum = No;
SortNumber = 201;
},

// G4
{ Type = Architecture;
Identifier = ppc7400;
Name = "PowerPC G4";
Description = "32-bit PowerPC for G4 processor";
ByteOrder = big;
ListInEnum = NO;
SortNumber = 202;
},

// G5 32-bit
{ Type = Architecture;
Identifier = ppc970;
Name = "PowerPC G5 32-bit";
Description = "32-bit PowerPC for G5 processor";
ByteOrder = big;
ListInEnum = NO;
SortNumber = 203;
},

// Intel
{ Type = Architecture;
Identifier = i386;
Name = "Intel";
Description = "32-bit Intel";
PerArchBuildSettingName = "Intel";
ByteOrder = little;
ListInEnum = NO;
SortNumber = 105;
}
)
