Installing 32 bit Adobe Reader 9 to a 64 bit Ubuntu 9.04

Hi,

M Back again.

I wanted to install the Abode acrobat on my ubuntu 9.04. Checked the site, it had only i386 version of Acrobat in the Deb format. It is really bad on their behalf.

So tried to install the i386 version on to my 64 bit machine and it displayed many errors.

So had to use a proper option with the dpkg command to install the 32 bit version.

dpkg -i --force-architecture AdbeRdr9.2-1_i386linux_enu.deb

And it installed properly.

I do not understand one thing ,linux community wants it to be more fexible than windows, then why differentiate between 32bit and 64bit  binaries and create a problem for the users who want to install the 32 bit programs on the 64 bit machine.

They have to find a solution for this. Comman man can not use linux unless such problems are removed or handled properly.

Bye for now, I will be back again some day.

Nice song from Bandh Premache

Hya asha rimzhimi jhirmir paus dhara,
tan man phulaun jati

oo hya rimzhimi jhirmir paus dhara,
tan man phulaun jati

shwaas tuzha madhumass phulacha,
rang sukhacha haati

ha dhund gaar wara, ha kowala shahara
ujalun rang aahe, swachand pritiche

Chimb bhijalele, rup sajalele
barasuni aale rang pritiche.

kon jaage raat sari, antari sukhauni
sapt rangi pakharu he , endradhanu banu aale

laat hi , waadali, mohuni gaate
hi mithi ladaki mogara hote.

padasaad bhawananche, re bandh na kunache
daahi dishat gaane , be dhund pritiche
Chimb bhijalele, rup sajalele,
barasuni aale rang pritiche.

Kya hua tera vaada – Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahi

Kya hua tera vaada wo kasam wo iraada
kya hua tera vaada wo kasam wo iraada
bhoolega dil jis din tumhe wo din zindagi ka aakhri din hoga
kya hua tera vaada wo kasam wo iraada
bhoolega dil jis din tumhe wo din zindagi ka aakhri din hoga
kya hua tera vaada

yaad hai mujhko tune kaha tha tumse nahi roothenge kabhi
dil ki tarah se haath mile hain kaise bhala chhootenge kabhi
teri baahon mein beeti har shaam bewafaa ye bhi kya yaad nahi
kya hua tera vaada wo kasam wo iraada
bhoolega dil jis din tumhe wo din zindagi ka aakhri din hoga
kya hua tera vaada wo kasam wo iraada

o kehne waale mujhko farebi kaun farebi hai ye bata
wo jisne ghum liya pyaar ki khaatir ya jisne pyaar ko bech diya
nasha daulat ka aisa bhi kya ke tujhe kuchh bhi yaad nahi
kya hua tera vaada wo kasam wo iraada
bhoolega dil jis din tumhe wo din zindagi ka aakhri din hoga
kya hua tera vaada wo kasam

Likhe jo khat tujhe

One of my favorite songs from the movie Kanyadan.

Likhe jo khat tujhe
woh teri yaad mein
hazaaron rang ke
nazaare ban gaye

sawera jab huya
to phool ban gaye
jo raat aayi to
sitaare ban gaye

Koyi nagma kahin goonja
kahan dil mein
yeh tu aayi
kahin chatki kali koyi
main yeh samjha, tu sharmaayi
koyi khushboo kahin bikhri
laga yeh zulf lehraayi

Likhe jo khat tujhe…

Fiza rangeen, adaa rangeen
yeh ithlaana, yeh sharmaana
yeh angdhaayi, Yeh tanhaayi
yeh tarsa kar, chale jaana
bana de ga nahi kisko
jawaan jadoo yeh deewana

Likhe jo khat tujhe..

jahan tu hai, wahan main hoon
mere dil ki tu dhadhkan hai
musafir main tu manzil hai
main pyaasa hoon tu saawan hai
meri duniya yeh nazre hain
meri jannat yeh daaman hai

Likhe jo khat tujhe…

The Benefits Of Chandrayaan-1 Mission

ISRO expressed that Chandrayaan-1 is not an expensive mission and in fact this moon odyssey will help the nation to update the technological expertise in order to explore the outer space and finally setting up a base on the earth’s natural satellite.

S Satish, ISRO spokesperson, while contradicting the critics, who wanted an answer behind the need to spend money for a mission to explore the moon, when many other countries have already done it, said, “Moon mission cost is less than Rs 400 crore, which is just ten per cent of annual budget of ISRO spread over many years.”

The cost of Chandrayaan-1 which has been scheduled to be launched on 22nd October is nearly Rs 386 crore, which includes Rs 100 crore for the establishment of Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) at Byalalu. This will help to perform the task of getting the radio signals transmitted by future satellites, not just Chandrayaan-1. This mission is also India’s first unmanned lunar mission. The officials of ISRO feel that those who are against this mission are actually not fully aware with the facts related to the mission.

Satish clarified, “For example, previous moon missions have been undertaken by individual countries and it’s no secret that expertise of that nature is not shared. So, India had to do it by itself lest it would lose out in the race for the Moon.”

This mission will also help ISRO to better its technological expertise to a great level.

An ISRO official said, “There is also the pride factor. With China forging ahead in the space field, India cannot lag behind and miss the bus. Moreover, some kind of colonization of Moon cannot be ruled out in the coming decades. We have to have our presence.”

postfix error RCPT from unknown[some ip address] host rejected

Hi,

Some times we see some messages to be rejected by postfix with erro RCPT from unknown

Solution.
RCPT from
unknown[some ip address]: 550 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname

if you do

dig -x your ip +short

you will get some hostname as the dig output. (reverse dns)

Reverse DNS of your ip exists and points to some hostname, unfortunately the same host name does not exist in forward dns file. That is the reason why Postfix regards your host as “unknown”.

Don’t use reject_unknown_client in your postfix configuration. It may reject the valid mails also.
