[CROSS-POST]: Cursor theme selection disables GUI
by Roshan 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

List, I was trying out cursor themes in Kubuntu and changed it to a theme that was called "X Cursor themes" or so. I selected it and logged out to set the current cursor theme as "X cursor theme". However, the file seems to be missing and Kubuntu disables starting X because, it is unable to find the file. I'm clueless about which file it (cursor) has manipulated that instructs it to load the cursor when it has to start the GUI. Alternatively, if it is possible, can I change the cursor them from the CLI? I tried disabling the InputDevice (mouse, cursor) by commenting them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that mouse is disabled and then, I could just reset the cursor theme, but that fails as well.

H! List, Just though that some of the Mumbai LUGers would like to pitch in? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arpit Agarwal <arpit105 .at. yahoo .dot. com> Date: Sep 5, 2007 12:17 PM Subject: [barcampmumbai] Barcamp Mumbai 2 To: Barcamp Mumbai <barcampmumbai(a)yahoogroups.com> Hi All, Some of you might have been caught unawares but a few of us have recently gotten together to host another Barcamp in Mumbai. We have been successful in booking two halls (SOM Seminar Hall and Institute Audi) in SJMSOM, IIT Bombay for Oct 13, 2007! It is now up to all of us to get our hands together and make it a successful Barcamp! Do you know someone who can pitch for sponsorships? And do you have media (mainstream/otherwise) contacts to get this message across? Is yes, please try to push this through. I am working on the Wiki and a basic page will be up soon. Let's rock it this time! Cheers, Arpit PS: In case you were wondering, I have been involved in organization of 3 barcamps at Bangalore. People who have been to a BCB would know me. I have recently relocated to join SJMSOM at IIT Bombay. So, I was wondering why NOT another Barcamp in Mumbai.

Problem setting date in debian "testing" with KDE 3.5
by Pradnyesh Sawant 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

Hello, I have a peculiar problem with my system date. I'm using debian "testing" with KDE 3.5. When i set the date, either through the KDE control center, or through the backend using the "date" command (as root ofcourse), it gets reset everytime i reboot my m/c. Btw, i have a hp (Compaq nc6400) lappy. Actually, the problem seems to be with the locale. In control center, if i set the time, with the locale, after a reboot, the same time is shown as UTC. Whereas, if i set the UTC time through the "date command" (i don't know how to pass locale to date command, so i'm assuming that it sets the UTC time), then after reboot, the UTC time itself moves 5.5 hrs ahead :( Thanks a lot in advance. regards, Pradnyesh.

[OT] You are being watched.
by Rony 05 Sep '07

Hello All, There is an article in BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/6972079.stm about how search engines record details of users' search patterns. I am curious to know, how do search engines get user details when a person uses the search facility. Normally only the IP address of the computer is available and that too changes dynamically. So except for city location of the computer, how do they know the user details? Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

Fwd: [foss.in] FOSS.IN/2007 Project Days sessions
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi, A heads up ... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Atul Chitnis <listadmin(a)linux-bangalore.org> Date: Sep 5, 2007 10:42 AM Subject: [foss.in] FOSS.IN/2007 Project Days sessions To: "FOSS.IN" <foss-in(a)yahoogroups.com> All: Here are the selected Project Days sessions, in alphabetical order: * Debian/Ubuntu * Fedora * Gnome * IndLinux * KDE * Mozilla * OpenOffice.org * OpenSolaris These eight Project Days sessions will be part of the CfP that will be published next week, and people will be able to submit talk proposals for each of them (and the Main conference, of course). Congrats to the eight projects, and my sympathies as well - having been selected, you now carry the burden of ensuring that you produce many Indian contributors. That means that your sessions have to be structured in such a way that it is easy for people to get in at the ground floor and the take the elevator up :) A reminder as well: if you are unable to get credible subsessions (talks and workshops) together through the CfP, you *may* face dropping. The same applies to the nature of the subsessions - if they are not contributor oriented (just user oriented) or if we find that the majority of subsessions are by people from a single commercial organisation, we will reconsider your selection. Remember that to us, the usefulness to the audiences (to bootstrap them into becoming contributors) and the quality of the subsessions comes first. So make sure that you get it right, in line with your accepted PD proposal. That completes phase 1 of the process - next is the Call for Participation, that will go out next week, after Team FOSS.IN meets this Sunday. Cheerio! Atul -- F O S S .
