OOXML failed to get approval of ISO/IEC
by Praveen A 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Great News! Hats off to all who worked hard for this. "The five-month ballot process ended on 2 September and was open to the IEC and ISO national member bodies from 104 countries, including 41 that are participating members of the joint ISO/IEC technical committee, JTC 1, Information technology. Approval requires at least 2/3 (i.e. 66.66 %) of the votes cast by national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 to be positive; and no more than 1/4 (i.e. 25 %) of the total number of national body votes cast negative. Neither of these criteria were achieved, with 53 % of votes cast by national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 being positive and 26 % of national votes cast being negative." http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1070 Cheers Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് Join The DRM Elimination Crew Now! http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-DRM-Campaign

Get a black screen when logoff in Debian Etch..also get the same black screen when i do Ctrl+alt+f1...
by Raza Sayed 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hello, I recently installed Debian Etch as a dual boot on my laptop . I am having an issue with logging off . Also ctrl+alt+f1 does not bring me to the shell . All I get is a black screen in both the cases and i have to manually shutdown my laptop and reboot. I am however able to shutdown and restart from within gnome.I am new to linux so cant figure out whats wrong. I tried to find out what onboard video card im using from within windows by right clicking on the desktop then going to : display properties->settings->advanced->adapter and there it says : VIA Chrome9 HC IGP. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps but it didnt work : Already tried steps : --------------------- 1) Tried ctrl+alt+f5 , ctrl+alt+f7 , ctrl+alt+backspace but get the same black screen and have to manually shutdown and reboot. 2) Added vga=771 at the end of the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst . Also tried vga=773,vga=791 3) Ran the command su cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "Driver" to get information on driver and the output of the above command is : Driver "kbd" Driver "mouse" Driver "vesa" What could be going wrong ? Please help. Thanks :) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!

Best Desktop Linux distro.
by Raza Sayed 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi, Myself Raza.Z.Sayed , from Mumbai. I have recently joined iglug-bom . Well, im kinda new to linux , but ive been using linux for quite some time now as a casual user . Im a student and I find linux more attractive as compared to proprietary OS, not only because it has matured enough to give proprietary software some decent competition but what appeals to me most as a student is that linux being free and open source offers a lot of room for learning and experimentation , which is seriously lacking in a proprietary os like windows. So,ive decided to switch over completely to free and open source software now and plan to use Linux as the primary OS I use on my machine. My machine has 512 MB of RAM and 1.46 GHz processor. So,i need your suggestion as to which distro would be the best desktop os for me,in terms of atleast the following factors. 1. Support for wireless connectivity, as i need to be able to use WiFi. 2. Support for Bluetooth . 3. Support for ADSL connections , i use MTNL Triband on my machine 4. Good choice of software and wide support for the same available. One of my friends would be giving me a copy of Debian Etch . Would that be good enough ?. Thanks :) --------------------------------- Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!
