4.2.2.RC8.2 has been released.

Highlights:
A memory leak in request forwarding has been fixed. The disk cleaning

"username@IP_ADDRESS". Crashing due to incompatible values set in the
global sub-section has been fixed. Repeated authentication challenges
have been fixed. cProfiles (a Web site profiler) has been added. The
SafeSquid init script has been enhanced. Automatic log rotation has
been improved. There are major optimizations to allow handling of more
than 1024 concurrent sockets. There are optimizations in the automatic
creation of directives for Monit.

Check 'Changelog' on the SafeSquid Forum for details.

Cheers.

If you are successful using Internet using wvdial by following my
previous tip but you feel using wvdial from shell is not your job, try
x-wvdial. Here are the steps how to use it.

Step # 1:
Move the script and the .msg files to
/usr/X11/bin

Step # 2:
Copy the file x-wvdialrc to root home directory as .x-wvdialrc

Step # 3:
Place the shortcut at desktop or within KMenu.

Now you can go to internet without directly using wvdial.

Note: Just like this tip, my previous tip may be applicable to any
phone supporting EDGE/GPRS and having USB cable. Share your
experiences with us all.

Hi to all Linuxheades who use GPRS/EDGE internet connection through
usb modem/mobile in windows and are finding it difficult to do the
same thing in Linux. Just follow my tips and check the files I posted
in files section.

Step # 1:
To find out which port the modem is using, use:

            sudo dmesg | grep tty

(In my case the port I found was /dev/ttyACM0)

Step # 2:

To enable the root account (i.e. set a password) use:

            sudo passwd root

Step # 3:
Place wvdial in /etc/ppp/peers/ & place wvdial.conf (select and rename
appropriate file for you, edit if necessary) in /etc/

Step # 4:
Give access permissions to the modem to normal users:

chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0

Step # 6:
Type wvdial from superuser console (su)

Note: all steps also worked perfectly worked under OpenSuse 10.2
(sudo & changing root passwword are not necessary, I used the su
command under OpenSuse)

Thanks,
Toufiq

About Tux Droid

Linux is becoming more than just a free operating system for the masses. Geeks and open source enthusiasts are quite persistent when it comes to use Linux on every possible electronic device. PDA's, I-pod's even Sony's AIBO, no electronic gizmo remains safe for the Linux community. And naturally the electronics suppliers are rarely very forthcoming with information on how to get Linux inside their protected products.

And it's exactly at this point Kysoh makes the difference. Tux Droid is a smart device talking, squawking, wings flapping, eye flashing penguin that you can control remotely. Send it events or updates about website or have it read your RSS streams as they come in with the built-in text-to-speech synthesizer. WiFi is not a requirement as it comes with its own wireless solution you can plug in any USB port. The architecture is completely open; all software, codes, scripts and datasheets are provided freely on the community website www.tuxisalive.com.

Tux Droid is also provided with a complete toolkit allowing programmers to develop their own functionalities:

• Let Tux Droid dance when you get an e-mail

• Use its infra-red to program Tux Droid as a guard dog to scare away intruders

• Program Tux Droid to function as an alarm clock

• Take Tux Droid to your bathroom and listen to any broadcast radio

• With its remote control, simply use Tux Droid as a remote control for your PC

• With its full duplex 2.4 GHz wireless link, use Tux Droid as a wireless VOIP

With an ever growing community, you can also find every week new scripts (and very soon new gadgets) on the community website.

About Tux Gadget Manager

TGF files take the format of a ZIP compressed archive containing a number of files and directories as the graphical resources, the content internationalization, the scripts, the sounds etc. These gadgets are executable by the Tux Applications Framework. This amazing framework is an application launcher dedicated to Tux Droid. It allows to execute several applications in the same time and to share the resources provided by the daemons. In order to manage easily the different gadgets, Kysoh has also developed a Meta-Gadget called Tux Gadgets Manager. This meta gadget is based on the same TGF format and run on the top of the framework. Users can then also modify easily the Tux Gadgets Manager to customize it as they want. The manager offers a vocal menu and shortcuts to access the different gadgets through the remote control.
