After seeing the way MSN crawled my last post, I just realized why Microsoft could never do good in Search Engine Market 🙂
I wonder why MSN would crawler same page from two different machines. I wonder if a single page can be divided further for crawling. Checkout the screenshots below 🙂
A few minutes later. Three Microsoft machines were crawling the same page 😛
I have conformed using ARIN that all these IPs belong to Microsoft 😀
Well, I was getting bored and just googled my domain name. As I was browsing through the search results, I clicked on a Spanish site containing the word gofedora. I clicked on google’s “Translate this page” and was surprised by the result. Watch it yourself below.
PS : Direct link for translated website.
PS2 : The actual website.
Fedora 11 does have support for Broadcom wireless drivers, but it didn’t really work out on a friend’s laptop. Finally we got it working and I thought I’ll just note the steps down. Below are the three easy steps you need to take to make it work properly.
Install needed packages
[root@fedora ~]$ yum install broadcom-wl wl-kmod |
Once the packages are installed successfully, reboot your laptop.
Use the following command
[root@fedora ~]$ system-config-network |
And add a new wireless device wlan0 or whatever you want by filling the required fields properly. If you want the device to be managed by NetworkManager, you can do so while editing the device you just added.
Activate the device. And you are on wifi 🙂

Yesterday, AMD released ATI Catalyst™ 9.7 Proprietary Linux x86/x86_64 Display Drivers. I happened to checkout the website today. Initially I was very excited about it hoping that these drivers will work with 2.6.29+ and I’ll be able to use my ATI Radeon HD 3200 which is lying dead since a fortnight or so. I downloaded the drivers immediately and switched to Fedora 11 default kernel. Installed the drivers and checked the install log located at /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log. And I saw a failure. AMD disappointed me, yet another time 🙁
In case you happen to screw your graphics display while trying to install ATI drivers, use the following command to uninstall fglrx.
[root@fedora ~]$ /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh |
Well, I am back to square one. Have to wait for another month and I hope next release will have support for kernel 2.6.29+.
Update : Drivers are working now. Move on to How To: Install ATI Catalyst (fglrx) 9.8 Drivers on Fedora 11.
GNUMP3d is the GNU Streaming MP3/Media Server written in perl. Our mission is to setup GNUMP3d and stream audio over LAN or over internet. Below are the essential steps to install and configure GNUMP3d.
Download latest version of GNUMP3d from GNUMP3d Website.
[kulbirsaini@fedora ~]$ tar -xjf gnump3d-x.x.tar.bz2 |
[root@fedora ~]$ cd gnump3d-3.0 [root@fedora ~]$ make install (as root) |
Now gnump3d is installed on your system. Now you need to configure it according to your taste.
The configuration file is located at /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf. For casual use, you just need to configure port, binding_host and root.
# Port to which gnump3d will be accessible via web interface or via a media player like xmms or winamp. port = 1111 # The IP Address where gnump3d will bind itself. binding_host = 172.17.8.64 # If you want the stream to be accessible via a fully qualified domain name, set hostname variable. # You don't need to set this in most cases e.g. while setting up gnump3d on LAN. hostname = gofedora.com # The directory where are your music files resides. root = /stuff/Music/ |
Though you can skip rest of the configuration, you may try to explore other options. My gnump3d.conf file can be download from here.
Thats all you need to do to configure gnump3d.
Now you need to index all you music collection (the audio files in gnump3d root). Run the following command to index
[root@fedora ~]$ gnump3d-index --verbose |
Once the indexing is done, you are all set to run gnump3d. By default gnump3d tries to index all files whenever you start it, to avoid this we need to use –fast option.
[root@fedora ~]$ gnump3d --fast |
By default gnump3d runs in foreground. If you want it to go in background and run quietly, run it as follows.
[root@fedora ~]$ gnump3d --fast --background |
To access your gnump3d streaming media server, please visit url http://ip_address:port/ .
If you want gnump3d to start when your computer starts add the following line to /etc/rc.local file.
gnump3d --fast --background |
