Please don't flame me, but why not just use network Manager. You can set up a static IP address in NetworkManager (right click->edit connections->edit). Unless it's a box that you plan to use as a server, in which case I suggest just using good old ifconfig. Or, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (after running system-config-network) and just setting the stuff manaully there. In any case, if you are setting your IP address as 192.168.xxx.xxx, your subnet mask should default to 255.255.255.0 (at least, via ifconfig) -- Tejas Dinkar http://gja.in From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Wed Dec 10 07:41:09 2008 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?IlNhbmthcnNoYW4gKOCmuOCmmeCnjeCmleCmsOCnjeCmt+Cmoyki?=) Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:11:09 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] jkeating: New project, for fun and excitement: Offtrac!

In fact, I don't have the new model, I did have the option of getting that but I did not like two of the significant changes, i) the glas protector in front of the screen, just converts an expensive machine into an even more expensive mirror and ii) the new touchpad, where earlier Macs had at least one button on the touchpad, in the new model they have done away with that as well, the whole touchpad is also a button and can be clicked, but it was a weird sensation.

I posted here earlier too related to problems i faced with kickstrat files and other things. But in the end i was successful in providing minimal features which were installed by default. I was targetting all the Indian languages available irrespective of there effort and percentage of translation.(Hindi, bengali, assamese, tamil, telgu, oriya, punjabi, malyalam, gujrati, marathi) Here is the list of packages i was targeting: - Gnome desktop environment. - OpenOffice. - Scribus. - GIMP. - scim with local language support(. - mozilla-firefox. - pidgin. Please don't take this list of packages as point of discussion, it was just my personal prefrence. So in case we can install using liveCD, and can have these packages in CD, i would be happy to volunteer for helping you out. As far as customization is concerned, i have used revisor, and am comfortable with kickstart files. I have never tried to create LiveCD's. Else will try to fit kickstart file in normal DVD's only and let you know of final status. In case you have some plan or suggestion's let me know.

Live CD have been installable to hard disk from Fedora 7 onwards. Should be quite clear from http://get.fedoraproject.org > Here is the list of packages i was targeting: > > * Gnome desktop environment. > * OpenOffice. > * Scribus. > * GIMP. > * scim with local language support(. > * mozilla-firefox. > * pidgin. > > Please don't take this list of packages as point of discussion, it was > just my personal prefrence.

The only question is managing the locales and the package set within the live cd size. It approximately holds about 2 GB of content, compressed. If you fit the above + any one locale into a live cd, the others should be doable with minimal changes. You need a Fedora 10 system as host with SELinux in permissive mode.

Now to see how many of the converts begin to participate in the Fedora project :) (or, any FOSS project for that matter). The partition related issues need more detail and if they are bugs they need to be reported.

The aim of Fedora India as a group is build and grow the community of contributors to Fedora and FOSS in India. The meetings have been useful for a number of things * To keep track of what each other is doing and help out when we can. Getting started with a new project or cross reviewing each other's packages for example * Help organize events * To have IRC classes or workshops to teach and work on something - be it getting started or a new project like say review-o-matic, packaging, participating in some new tool development or something else related to the project Without meetings, I don't know what the exact status of projects like review-o-matic. Has it been proposed as a Fedora 11 feature yet? It hasn't been working out as well it used to, primarily because I, for various reasons couldn't continue to lead the meetings and others haven't filled the gap either (my bad, since it wasn't discussed as much as it could have been). If anyone following along is interested, there are fairly simple things to lead a meeting. * Keep track of things related to Fedora ( new projects, free software events, L10N efforts etc) and contributors in this team are doing and try to help out and clarify things when you can. Report them in the meeting. * See if you can find interesting new things you can get others involved in and talk about that. * Set agenda each week and announce that in advance. Send reminders when necessary * Post meeting mins and summaries when it is done (others can help out in this) Let me know if any of this makes sense and if you want to help. On the other hand, if others don't find it as useful, we can just continue using the mailing lists for real work and occasional IRC chats for getting help and social banter.

If I were asked to point out the single benefit from the IRC presence it is that it allows visibility to those working in the Fedora community to have access to each other. The IRC meetings in the most recent past had been aimed at gathering the Fedora Ambassador flock together. Not much success has happened on that though. We see increase in the # of Ambassadors, the # of active Ambassadors don't grow at the same rate. Since a large part of the 'Classrooms' happened via #dgplug (we like to align with groups who are already doing the good work rather than re-invent everything), I'd wait for Kushal to give some pointers here. A second (but none the less important) part is that the IRC meetings have enabled Susmit to come up with ideas to organize events and send across media to those who are willing to be local contacts. /me looks at Susmit to fill in here. >> * To keep track of what each other is doing and help out when we can. >> Getting started with a new project or cross reviewing each other's >> packages for example >> > > ML seems to work better here, except when real time assistance is required. For both of the points mentioned above and below, mailing lists and IRC combine to provide an efficient mechanism. For example, for Review-o-Matic and like projects, mailing lists, trac and IRC provide the context of discussions around which the project can move forward. >> * Help organize events >> > > ML is much better here. See above. Additionally, a quick round up for an event prior to it does help. We did a couple of runs prior to the FUDCon and for some of the banner events (since we know have a list of event upcoming) it is easy to grab a quick IRC chat. > Why not send weekly updates on mailing lists? > > > >> >> Let me know if any of this makes sense and if you want to help.

Has it been proposed as a Fedora 11 feature yet? And, I'd agree with you over here. I am slightly disappointed with the RoM team. Primarily because there isn't any public roadmap in place. Especially so since I believe that it is a good time to propose it as a F11 feature and it has good folks working on it. Since then I did have a chat with Rakesh and I believe Debarshi has subsequently blogged about stuff happening in RoM land. It sill needs to be a F11 feature though :) -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Mon Dec 15 02:07:29 2008 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?IlNhbmthcnNoYW4gKOCmuOCmmeCnjeCmleCmsOCnjeCmt+Cmoyki?=) Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 07:37:29 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fedora Indian Language remixes In-Reply-To: <494386B9.7000903@fedoraproject.org> References: <49426F34.2010100@fedoraproject.org> <2e07a27c0812130111n3795a961hd34fc380543f02ef@mail.gmail.com> <2e07a27c0812130113j2c9dd7e9ja857c46134fdb71e@mail.gmail.com> <494386B9.7000903@fedoraproject.org> Message-ID: <4945BBE1.1070907@gmail.com> Rahul Sundaram wrote: > The only question is managing the locales and the package set within the > live cd size.

As I said, if something is to be done quickly, ML is not the ideal way. When one is working on real time, he/she devotes his/her entire time and mind to the work at hand.

It will take time when youre teaching yourself.. The only way you will build confidence is if you try playing around with things you don't understand. That is the real way to learn. You might get flamed every now and then, but who cares. In fact, here is my first (and only) patch to RPM. About three years ago when i didn't understand buildsystems at all (I still don't btw).

I had installed these drivers in Fedora as well and though wireless worked fine, the graphics driver still caused the screen refresh rate to be too slow to use Compiz. I guess I will look at Fedora again in a while, in the meantime, I am struggling in Ubuntu.

Anaconda settings decide two different things: Locale and language. Both of them are depending on the packages included. Simply removing the locales/ fonts that you don't want should shrink the list shown in Anaconda, in the case of live cd's.

It isn't clear what you want to do. Do you want to patch grub? What project are you doing exactly? K12Linux is the LTSP effort within Fedora.

Before you start thinking a lot, let me clarify that IEEE has officially declared it closed, but guys what about un-official?? We did not do it. did we?? :) Anyways, I would like to share my thoughts/feelings that I came across in past 15 days. I feel extremely happy to write this letter. First of all, I would like to thank and congratulate to everybody who was a part of this extragavanza. It was the first official event related to Linux/FOSS and I feel that we did pretty well. The enthusiasm displayed by you all was much above my expectations. 15 days is not a short time and I'm happy that we could connect to each other well. FOSS seems to have bridged many gaps amongst us. We did not have 1st, 2nd, 3rd years sitting in the sessions; we had JIITians!! Secondly, I see this workshop as the foundation of FOSS at JIIT. My partners Ankur and Puneet have done a splendid job. Without their efforts and fundoo attitude we could not have lived the moments we cherish now. IEEE JIIT Student Chapter (IJSB) has provided us with a much needed platform to showcase FOSS. Gaurav Darbari, Priyanka, Chandni, Varun Mittal and and the whole IJSB team has really come together as great people supporting our endeavors. I originally planned for an event in October but I guess December was the month cut out for this. And tell you what, it was the perfect time that we could have ever asked for. Thirdly, I would like to thank Satyaakam Goswami Sir for his guidance during the workshop. He went out of the way to setup dates with the guests like Supreet (the Python guy) and Karunakar (l10n, i18n guy). Satyaakam Sir's mentorship was a blessing for us and I hope that the relation will continue further and we all will gain more and more. I also thank Rajan Vaish (JUIT Solan), Chirag Anand (JUIT Solan) and Khushbu Mohta (KEC) for sharing their experiences with us. This indeed helped us to connect to FOSS as students. I also thank Susmit Shannigrahi and the Fedora team who provided us with the Fedora material and Gora Mohanty Sir who carried them all the way from Bangalore to Delhi which were then picked up by Satyaakam Sir. See how things happen in FOSS. :) I leave it upto you to search for the unknown names I just mentioned and share with other on JIIT-LUG. On a much personal front, I would like to say that I enjoyed sharing these 15 days with all of you. Just for the record, I never had this high attendance in any of the semesters till date which was even brought to my notice by my family :P I hope we have touched FOSS well enough for you to explore further. FOSS for me is a very emotional affair, its something that I was long been longing for. I feel delighted to be associated with each one of you. If someone asks me what is my contribution to FOSS till now, I would say "JIIT" without any second thoughts. I feel very fortunate that I could convince you people to join this side of software development. Lastly, I wish that everyone who participated will not let the FOSS inside you die with the receipt of certificate. It took birth to grow and blossom. It would be very disheartening if the number of FOSSy guys from Workshop drops. We had some 80+ guys at the beginning and on last day we had 40+. Some of our friends left in between the workshop due to various reasons. Though they did miss out on some things but NOTHING is lost. If you have some complains/doubts/anything, please post on this thread. Don't keep it inside you. We in FOSS world don't close anything, we share!! Also, I request you to work towards spreading the FOSSness around JIIT. There were many who did not join us this time. They also need to be made aware of what we are upto. Talk about your experience and share your knowledge with others to achieve this. Ask for help if you feel and I believe you know what/how to do in FOSS. I hope you have put up the stickers wherever possible. :) Also, I have done a small exercise in past 2 day to sum up the workshop. I will divulge the details soon(its a surprise!). Next, I was wondering if we can call ourselves FOSS family?? I have some roles/plans for this family and everyone will easily fit in it. Please do post here and express your views about anything. (BUT, please don't hijack the thread) :) Keep you doubts/concerns pouring on JIIT-LUG. We have not started to stop. Wishing you all happy vacations and a fun-filled FOSS journey, I hereby announce Linux Workshop un-officialy closed! Let the FOSSness spread!! -- Prakhar Agarwal Linux User# 474643 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Prakhar "Life is the greatest teacher" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This guide will help users and developers to deal with license violation reports. It explains how to make a report, what information is useful to include, and offers suggestions for how projects or businesses can deal with reports once they are received. The guide is released as part of the strategic partnership between the FTF and GPL-Violations.org, who work together to improve licensing awareness and compliance in Europe. It is located on the new FTF website, http://www.fsfeurope.or g/ftf, along with information on how projects and businesses can get help with understanding Free Software licences. Translations into several European languages will be made available during coming weeks from the FTF website. "The best way to solve compliance issues is to prevent them happening in the first place", says Shane Coughlan, FTF Coordinator. "We work to support this by educating the community at large. When problems do occur, we want people to be able to share information and resolve them effectively." About the Freedom Task Force: The Freedom Task Force is a project run by Free Software Foundation Europe to help people understand Free Software licensing and the opportunities it presents. We offer educational services, facilitate larger infrastructure activities and manage FSFE's legal affairs. Our goals are to share knowledge about Free Software law, to safeguard the interests of Free Software projects, to connect experts in this field and to help other groups achieve similar goals. We believe in positive, constructive dialogue and seek at all times to support the long-term sustainability of Free Software.

Im afraid the "level of programming etc", if i may refer to is as.. is not enough in MIT Manipal (sadly) to start them on the GTK+ etc.. There are only a limited number of people using linux here.. Even we ourselves are still learning these.. It is because of this that we are first holding a hackathon to atleast familiarize people with how its done.. People will read the existing codes.. Learn from there.. See programming style.. etc.. The workshop etc is purely intended for the college students.. Outside participation is almost nil.. I hope our chain of though makes sense.. The main stream application development workshops will be held at a later stage when a certain minimum amount of interest is observed.. regards, Ankur From shekhawat.anirudh at gmail.com Tue Dec 23 17:46:57 2008 From: shekhawat.anirudh at gmail.com (anirudh shekhawat) Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 23:16:57 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Re: DVDs Donated to FreeMedia India Message-ID: <6145529c0812230946n9805025q5b8689d32096f558@mail.gmail.com> Name : Anirudh singh shekhawat Location : Jaipur Expected Count : 6 requests a month But i'd like to say here is that even i havent received the F-10 media and i've to distribute the F-9 as i dont have the F-10. thanking in anticipation anirudh From debarshi.ray at gmail.com Tue Dec 23 19:13:48 2008 From: debarshi.ray at gmail.com (Debarshi Ray) Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 00:43:48 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] [Fwd: Re: Automatic BuildRequires] In-Reply-To: <494F6288.3000704@fedoraproject.org> References: <494F6288.3000704@fedoraproject.org> Message-ID: <3170f42f0812231113i526806efr31231bbedc0e35cf@mail.gmail.com> > Don't know if you folks have considered this, but it should be possible to > parse the spec, compare the manual build requires specified with the one > auto generated by this tool and post the diff as a suggestion to the > packager as part of review-o-matic.

It would be interesting to start taking note of how many requests queue up for distributing Fedora media to/at schools. Sooner, rather than later, it would be required to start figuring out ways to meet requests like those. Just pushing large volumes of media may not be the optimal way of doing things and increasing participation in the Fedora Community in India. As regards events, we already suggest doing stuff like LiveUSB stations etc. And, sometimes it works out cheaper to produce media locally than ship it across the country. So, if in this case Binod does have an estimate about what it costs to produce the media locally, do get in touch with me (morpheus at fedoraproject dot org) and let's start a discussion. In short, it isn't about the number of media we ship. It is about the quality of contributions we help mentor. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com Tue Dec 30 15:50:33 2008 From: thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com (susmit shannigrahi) Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:20:33 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Please suggest Improvements for this script (Mirror in a box.) Message-ID: Hi, I have been working a few days on this, though this was finished a few days ago... This is working nicely as far as I have tested, can you please suggest some improvements? The concept is also there. Basically the concept is you can have a whole fedora repo at an external HDD. You can just plug it into any machine of a LAN and run the script to have a working repo online (inside the LAN). So if you have a external drive (you will get the contents of the HDD online), please test it out. Just follow the instructions and after that open http://localhost/fedora to have the repository.

I am writing on behalf of FOSSMeet to be conducted on Jan 25th 2009 by the team at Model Engineering College, Cochin, Kerala.The FOSSMeet kicks off on Jan 23 along with our techno-management festival excel 2k9. The main event day is on Jan 25th and open to all. We have currently 5 talks are planned, Which include the speakers : 1) Atul Chitnis, (Founder,FOSS.IN) 2) Shreyas Sreenivasan, (GNOME Contributor) 3) Santosh Thottingal (Developer, Dhavani TTS) and we will be having GNU/Linux distro / FOSS Tools Exhibition. The event is followed by FOSS week, which we have planned to conduct various awareness programs and GNU/Linux and FOSS Tools training to the college students. We would like to have a Fedora Ambassador as one of the speakers. MEC is a FOSS Savvy college which runs completely under GNU/Linux OS and FOSS Tools. We run all our severs on LAMP. We are also running an Electronics LAB purely on Fedora. It would be great if some Fedora Ambassador could come to our college and deliver a talk.
