Arch Linux Turkish Community @ 8th Free Software and Linux Festival
Hey There Guys,
We'd love to tell you about the latest news. We were at our stand all
day long on the very first day of 8th Free Software and Linux Festival.
What we've done?
* We've burnt 20 i686 and 10 x86_64 CD images and created paper CD cases
and gave everyone for free. (unfortunetly we were only capable of doing
40 of them and 30 cases since especially the cases were so expensive as
they were the best quality available)
* Made some installations for people who needs help
* Printed nearly 30 Turkish installation manual and gave them with the
CD's..
* Created a "Arch Linux on Tap" concept and made it available over the
network! They is very cool though since anyone can put the plug in
and install Arch with our very new and fresh Arch mirror (that have i686
and x86_64 packages for core, testing, community, extra).
We'll continue to do introduce Arch Linux to visitors of the festival
and help them to discover the beauty!
We also have some pictures for you! Comments are welcome!

Yeah, that's mine! (which runs Leopard for now but has several virtual Arch's on it..) I'm working on installing Arch on it.. (is a 3-4 years Arch user by now btw..)

Arch Linux Turkish Community Announcement
Hey All,
We, as the Turkish users of Arch Linux, have created our own community to support, to translate, to develop our very beloved Linux distro on all platforms. As our first gift to the community, we have translated pacman completely to Turkish. It's also being tested by our community right now.
We set http://www.archlinuxtr.org as our web site (it's currently under development) and have SVN, Trac projects (still being configured). We also have #archlinux.tr on irc.freenode.net
We look forward to see anyone commenting, helping, cheering, donating and of course contributing our work.
Cheers..!Yeah, that's mine! (which runs Leopard for now but has several virtual Arch's on it..) I'm working on installing Arch on it.. (is a 3-4 years Arch user by now btw..)

aloha. i just purchased an ipad for my husband. it asked me to a set up an apple id for it. i already had one under my name, and so connected it to that. however, when i tried to download a software for him, it said 'apple id disabled'. how do i reactivate the apple id? since this happened, i have opened an apple id under his own name/password now. my problem is getting the ipad to let me change or activate the apple id (either of them)..help!!! i have the ipad retina..not sure if that is 1 or 2? and don't know what operating system. where would i find that info?? it's not on the box, and the ipad came with no instructions, although i did download some, not sure if apply to this ipad..soo confusing, but trying
From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled. You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID. -
Pls help to install free application in ipad2
You can only get apps for the iPad either via the App Store app on your iPad, or via the iTunes App Store on your computer - you cannot get apps for the iPad from any other source. Try looking in either of those for free apps.

Making free software development profitable
OK, this maybe rather off the topic of GNU/Linux but bear with me
Free software has come a long way and all thanks to generous contributions of numerous souls who have put in their most valuable asset, time, to develop a huge body of software we can all enjoy.
Now a good number of free software developers work for commercial companies and get paid to do what they do. That is cool too. In fact that is great! If one could live off money earned by developing free software ... I mean that is fantastic. Financially benefiting in addition to helping the community is certainly better than one or the other alone. But this kind of job is rare.
What if more (or every) free software developer could be financially compensated for their contributions? I'm sure there is a good amount of pessimism about the idea of expecting money for something that can otherwise be obtained for free. And that's justified, except there is always the assumption that the developer makes something and then asks for money. That is the trend (and perhaps has been). I'm referring to donations. There is always the software before the donation button. There are two issues with donations:
1. you have to have something first before getting paid for it (which provides little to no motivation for those able to contribute but whom don't have time due to their commitments to their paying jobs)
2. donations are not directed at anything specific, you don't know if the $5 you sent to that great girl/guy is going to his project A or B (which provides little motivation for users to pay because of uncertainty)
Now a model like that of kickstarter.com would solve less than half of the issues here. I personally think that kickstarter like services are geared towards creative projects, projects for which there is not necessarily a need at first. In free software communities however, it's very prevalent for users to be looking for something they need but not quite finding it. It could be a feature they need, a bug that needs fixing. Do you see where I'm going with this? Yep. Issue trackers with a twist!
A service which allows users to submit bugs/requests/ideas and offer money to whoever can get it done. But (a big but), the end result of the software has to be free software (otherwise you got yourself a rentacoder kind of service). A simple (or complicated if necessary) reputation based system would create trust in developers not to steal money and in users to pay what they pledged. This sounds like fundraising and that's exactly what it is. The difference is: it's focused and streamlined. You know who/what/why you're paying.
What's the incentive for the user to pay? Well they *need* something that doesn't exist. They can file a bug report and hope someone will take notice. Or they can get attention by offering to pay for what they need. From view point of some, this kind of transactional environment goes against the values of free software. It may seem unfair for those who can't afford (or want) to pay as much to get equal attention. This and other kind of issues are what I like to discuss with you.
I believe a well thought implementation of such system can change face of free software and accelerate its development.

This is interesting. I hadn't come across these guys before, either because they have poor SEO or I am incompetent in searching
Having looked at some of the projects, it seems to be more or less active (not sure if they're thriving). I also had a read of their process and FAQ. What I have in mind seems to differ quite significantly with what those guys are doing in regards to the funding and the general process. They're doing it in a collaborative manner using an organic approach of allowing change to requirements and funding along the way. I'm thinking of the same type of collaboration in planning and design stages, but with a more stable state past the funding stage. In particular, I think kickstarter.com method of goal based time limited fundraising to be more successful in attracting developers to work on a project. I would describe the process I have in mind as follows:
- a user/developer submits a project idea (could be as big as an entire app or as small as a bug fix)
- other users can discuss the project, or create sub-projects and discuss those
- users also indicate on each project how much they're willing to contribute financially (without commitment)
- developers can submit proposals on any (sub) project
- proposals must have clearly indicated specs and deliverables as well as a funding goal and deadline
- proposals can be discussed just like project ideas and developers amend the specs as necessary to reflect the discussions
- developer decides it is time to finalize and start fund raising
- at this point the specs are frozen and a time limited fund raising window is open for users to "pledge" (kickstarter's term)
- if the funding goal set by developer is met, all the funds are transferred from users' accounts to the developer's account, otherwise no one's charged
- developer starts to work on the project, checking in regularly to post status updates
- a reputation system awards or takes away reputation points from developers based on their ability to meet deadlines, deliver what they promised, etc.
- developers can be permanently banned (based on their billing details) from the site if they simply don't get any work done or otherwise violate a term
- developers are limited on how much funding goal they can set based on their reputation (this helps building trust) -

I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting SATA support up and running in Linux. I dual boot XP and Linux RH9 and have bought a Maxtor Raptor SATA drive I already have an old and clapped out Seagate. I eventually would like to get a second Raptor and set up a striped RAID array but for now I would just like to be able to get Linux to recognize the drive and to either shift my drive image over to the new drive or reinstall onto the Maxtor.
XP sees the drive if I use the old drive to boot up but if I try to do a fresh install onto the SATA drive with the old IDE disconnected it will not recognise a drive at all. Linux will not detect the SATA drive at all no matter what I do.
I understand I need to have some drivers at install time on floppy disk to do a fresh install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Sorry I can't be any immediate help, I have a similar problem trying to dual boot WinXP and Redhat9
I have WinXP installed on a Intel RAID array and Redhat9 on a separate IDE drive, at the moment Linux can not see Windows
From information I've gathered so far Grub is the boot loader to use, there is a patch released by Intel for earlier versions of Redhat and Grub, not sure if it's of any use yet
Good luck

Why Do People Make and Provide Software and Support for Free?
Hey all, I discovered Linux and open source software a little over 4 years ago now. It transformed the way I thought about software and using the computer. So now in my senior year of college I have chosen for open source software to be the subject of my thesis.
The topic of this thread is the research question of my thesis. But it is also question that I have been thinking about for the last couple years or so. Why do people decide to write software and then give it out for free for all to modify? The second has to do with forums like these. I have always wondered why people do help support on these forums for free when they can be making money doing the exact same thing. Below I will write 13 research questions that you guys can give me your answers or philosophy too.
1. How long have you been using Linux?
2. How did you learn/find out about Linux?
3. Why have you chosen Linux over other operating systems available?
4. Why did you choose to use your current distribution?
5. Do you still use any closed source programs that are not available for Linux?
6. Tell me the reasons that you contribute to the community?
7. What do you think motivates others to contribute to the community?
8. In your opinion, what reasons do you think others provide software to everyone for free?
9. In what ways do you feel contributing to the community could benefit someone's future/career?
10. What is it about contributing or programming that you enjoy most? Is there any aspects you dislike?
11. Are you a member of other non-software communities? Such as a church, voluntary organizations or charities?
12. Does your open source work spillover with any other areas of your life?
13. If you provide support on forums such as these, why do it for free?
You DO NOT have to answer all 13 of the questions above. Please just pick out the ones that you feel are most important or interesting to answer. If someone else says something that you think is interesting feel free to respond to them if you agree or disagree.
If anyone wants to take this discussion further with me than the forum, I will absolutely love too! Just please send me a private message on here and we can figure out further ways of contacting each other.
I plan on using your user names on this forum to identify people in my paper. If any of you are uncomfortable with me using your username in my paper, please let me know! I will be monitoring this thread on a day by day basis for the next two months or so, until my thesis is complete. If you guys have any other questions that pop up, please do not hesitate to ask! Thank you all in advance for responding!hockeyfighter09 wrote:1. How long have you been using Linux?
Roughly 3 years, with about 2 of those full-time. Tried out for 6 months a couple of years before that, but didn't stick.
hockeyfighter09 wrote:2. How did you learn/find out about Linux?
Older relatives/friends mentioned it in passing due to my interest in computers, was pointed to the (then-new) Ubuntu and actually given a CD (which I never used). Did read up a bit about it at the time, though.
hockeyfighter09 wrote:3. Why have you chosen Linux over other operating systems available?
Frustration with fixing Windows. Most of that came from my tinkering with it with a bunch of patches/hacks/cracks etc, necessitating a reformat every few months. Oh, and viruses would pop-up once in a while. Mac was always out of my budget (was a student, am still not done with my post-grad).
hockeyfighter09 wrote:4. Why did you choose to use your current distribution?
Ubuntu got quite frustrating from two aspects:-
1. 'Freeze' policy kept creating lousy bugs. I would have maybe 12 external ppas enabled and of course they wouldn't always play nice with each other, simply because the repos I had been so in awe of when first starting out didn't actually contain all that many useful programs. Used Mint for a while, same problem (now I understand it was the same base).
2. SNR of forums - When I first joined ubuntuforums it was like heaven-on-earth, so HELPFUL, so many replies almost instantly. It took me roughly 1 and a half months to notice that probably only 2 regular posters were worth listening to, the rest were trying to help with no knowledge to back them up.
So I tried Sidux, OpenSuse, Fedora, and finally read about Arch. Installed it side-by-side, and viola, it was fun! I like tinkering, basically, and Arch allows me to do it far more than Ubuntu/Windows (I class Ubuntu as similar to Windows by now) ever did.
hockeyfighter09 wrote:5. Do you still use any closed source programs that are not available for Linux?
Yes, some games through wine (not sure if that counts as 'available for Linux'. I do not boot into Windows at all, anymore (though its on my laptop).
hockeyfighter09 wrote:6. Tell me the reasons that you contribute to the community?
One of the best things I like about open-source is how most active projects have a community around them. So its not just software, but people working together (of course with heirarchies etc.), fits my Utopian view of how things 'should be(tm)'. I'm a sucker for Utopia, so I try to feed the community as far as possible.
hockeyfighter09 wrote:7. What do you think motivates others to contribute to the community?
A combination of 6. and substituting social deficiencies. Some come across as not actually having much of a social life (probably lack of those sharing nerdy interests in their area) and substituting that in online communities. This isn't really Linux specific, more internet-community specific.
hockeyfighter09 wrote:8. In your opinion, what reasons do you think others provide software to everyone for free?
Perspective of personal developer (one-man projects), I think its a mix of altruism (probably 20-30%), pride (50%) and commercial sensibility (the rest). Most of it is pride, the knowledge that many use my software.
For companies, as mentioned above, its very financially viable, especially in already-saturated markets.
hockeyfighter09 wrote:9. In what ways do you feel contributing to the community could benefit someone's future/career?
Not much, honestly. My career-line is education/engineering, so not much scope there. For someone in the computer sciences, of course there'd be more benefit, but not more than investing the same amount of time into part-time work to expand your portfolio. So for the INDIVIDUAL I believe participating in the community does not bring future/career benefits, we do it because we enjoy the community and want to see it succeed.
hockeyfighter09 wrote:10. What is it about contributing or programming that you enjoy most? Is there any aspects you dislike?
The sense of achievement, that what you do is useful to someone. The BIG dislike is when other members of the community don't feel the same way. There will always be members who are demanding (customer mentality) or abrasive (big tough guy mentality). Both are 'big city' mentalities with no place in the 'homely-little-town' community of Linux (that's how I see it anyway).
Oh, and noobs answering questions with no knowledge (something I've done before as well) are more annoying than noobs asking questions, personal opinion
hockeyfighter09 wrote:11. Are you a member of other non-software communities? Such as a church, voluntary organizations or charities?
I'm very active in my church (various leadership roles), and regularly help out at my fiance's NGO (mostly video work, ffmpeg and cinelerra stuff). A child sponsor and blood donor, etc. etc.
hockeyfighter09 wrote:12. Does your open source work spillover with any other areas of your life?
I don't 'work' on open-source, so a bit of a N/A here. What small patches I provide, or the moderating I do here, is just small contributions. Doesn't spill over to any other areas of my life, because computers are like that, compartmentalized away from the 'real world' (cue Matrix theme tune).
hockeyfighter09 wrote:13. If you provide support on forums such as these, why do it for free?
Like I said, in a small village community setting, people help and are helped for free. I do tech support for friends/relatives in RL for free, so on the forums, for very little time invested, why not?
In answer to litemotiv - yes control is MUCH more important than freedom. I've never really been taken by all of RMS' screaming and ranting. I'm an engineer by training, I want to know what's going on (to a reasonable degree) and control it. Philosophical discussions are interesting but ultimately a waste of time. -

my mac book air has a virus which is creating a lot of issues...how do i get rid of it? is there a free software to detect it and remove it?
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab. I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)! Please help.
Yes, the file extension is M4R. Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook? I then opened them in Itunes and played them. I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes). When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty. Thanks in advance for your help.
