Mylyn for bash
by Puneet Lakhina 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi, I use an eclipse plugin called Mylyn [1]. Mylyn allows me to group my work into tasks (integrates with things like Bugzilla, trac etc.)[2]. The best thing that Mylyn provides is that it creates separate contexts for each of these tasks. The context influences what I see in a particular eclipse view. So for example, in the file explorer view in eclipse, I only see files that I have changed while working in this context. Additionally it also influences the auto suggest options. The context feature works great when you have to frequenly switch between tasks. It allows you to get back into the mode for solving a particular task. I was wondering if something similar for the shell would be useful. It could for example alter the history to only have the commands that you used in the context of working on a paritcular task. It could maybe even set up env accordingly. Requesting your thoughts. 1. http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/ 2. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-mylyn1/ -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ Latest Post: javac -g -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ Latest Post: javac -g

PC hangs on md5sum DVD.ISO
by Rony 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hello, Off late I am having problems with downloaded DVD isos. Earlier I have downloaded 4 Debian DVD isos as well as the Etch Updates DVD iso and all their md5sum results were fine. Now I find that the Sabayon as well as the Debian DVD1 isos throw an 'Input/Output Error' and after that the link between the system and my HDD appears to be lost as no command is accepted and the system as well as the display goes for a toss. With CD isos this does not happen. Any similar experiences, suggestions? -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

----- Original Message ---- From: Roshan N Baladhanvi <dhanvirosh(a)rediffmail.com> List, In the recent meet, Naveen, described a project that called for contributions. I have lost the leads to what are the requirements, but as far as I remember, it is about creating screencasts that'll help those who want to have a self-controlled e-learning environment. This email is also directed towards Naveen (since I don't have his email id, and I assume, he has subscribed to this list) who can add more details to this. The website hosting the screencasts is http://www.openvarsity.org Naveens email address is naveen(a)openvarsity.org Regards, Sameep

_simple_ checkbook balancing program
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

I am looking for a _simple_ checkbook balancing program. All I need is to be able to enter my debits and credits and be able to print it out to give it to my CA. The ability to print (ideally directly) is essential. Incrementing check numbers would be nice too. The ability to import a qif file is a plus point but not absolutely essential. Previously I used gacc w/ kubuntu 6.04 (and fedora -- I forget which version). This was the perfect solution. Unfortunately after upgrading to kubuntu 7.04 (and 8.04) gacc does not work. What happens is that though the program opens, there is no text in the menu bar or the status bar. The same is the trouble with cbtracker. Here again, the program starts up but I run up against this problem of no text in the menu or status bar. I wrote to the author and he suggested that it could be a problem with the gtk theme and maybe changing the gtk theme might help. Google also gave a similar answer but for older versions of kubuntu. The software that helped in these cases is no longer available for kubuntu 7.x or 8.x. I installed _all_the gtk-themes available. None helped. Asking on the kubuntu list turned up exactly zero answers :(. Okay so back to google. I found pycheckbook but it messes up the dates when it imports a qif file. All the dates are changed to the present date. Also, it won't print directly. You need to export to text then open in vim or OOo and more often than not the formatting is screwed up. I also found chkbk. Just a shell script but no export or printing support that I could find. Next was cbb. Again no direct printing possible. Then I looked at brinance. A cli program that takes a cli parameter everytime you run it. Depends upon Brinance.pm -- a perl module that the author accepts is not very perl-ish and hence may give different results. I looked at kmymoney, gnucash, buddi. Kmymoney, nicely integrates with kde, imports qif files correctly after a bit of fiddling. But it won't let me print just a record of my transcations. Too much shoo sha for my taste (or even need). I tried gnucash but it is greatly overkill. Buddi won't import _anything_ :( . Maybe I'm missing something but the import and export commands are greyed out. I intend taking a look a avsap but it too seems to be a full fledged accounting package. so what do I do now ? suggestions welcome. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K R Pavri. Homoeopath, Linuxer.
