Cairo cross compile
by Giriprasad Deviprasad 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Hi All, I am trying to cross compile GTK+ in hawkboard (www.hawkboard.org). I have already cross compiled the following successfully for hawkboard: atk fontconfig freetype glib libxml2 pixman Now when I try to cross compile cairo, configure gives the following error: configure: error: Cairo requires at least one font backend. Please install freetype and fontconfig, then try again: But, I have already installed both freetype and fontconfig for this architecture. ls -l /opt/asdlab/freetype/lib total 2640 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2688158 2010-09-03 20:08 libfreetype.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 764 2010-09-03 20:08 libfreetype.la drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-09-03 20:08 pkgconfig [root@localhost cairo-1.6.4]# ls -l /opt/asdlab/freetype/include total 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-09-03 20:08 freetype2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3890 2010-09-03 20:08 ft2build.h ls -l /opt/asdlab/fontconfig/lib/ total 776 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 778546 2010-09-04 19:28 libfontconfig.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 922 2010-09-04 19:28 libfontconfig.la drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-09-04 19:28 pkgconfig Any ideas why cairo is not cross compiling?

flamewars on top posting
by Suhit Kelkar 13 Sep '10

Hello, Many of the users who rant of others top posting have been guilty of worse discourtesies in the past. I remember one of the so-called 'senior' users has called someone a moron. That same user has appointed himself a custodian of netiquette. I suspect that this ranting about top-posting is merely a pretext to keep their name appearing on the list i.e to boost their egos. Regards Suhit Kelkar.

luit linux
by h.godavari 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

I saw this mentioned on DistroWatch and downloaded the iso. I was pleasantly surprised when it loaded (a live cd) on a 486/66 with 32 MB RAM . Unfortunately it did not recognize the serial mouse on com2. I sent a message to the author <dr_ashim(a)hotmail.com> with no response. Without the mouse I could not navigate very well but it seems to be a nice distro that can run even on such ancient systems . It would be nice if some talented person takes this under their wing and help recycle those ancients. Regards hg. PS: how can I (computer illiterate) get this to recognize serial mouse (& comm ports). Feather Linux, very similar to this is also an orphan it seems.

Events planned to celebrate Software Freedom Day in Bangalore from 15th to 17th Sept

11 Sep '10

Hi friends, Software Freedom Law Centre, New Delhi(SFLC-ND) and Free Software Movement-Karnataka (FSMK) are celebrating Software Freedom Day, by organizing Talks and events by one of the mavericks of the Knowledge Freedom campaigns and an affiliate of SFLC-ND - Prof.Eben Moglen,Founder, Director-Counsel and Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center. In this visit to Bangalore, Prof.Eben Moglen will be participating in three separate events organized by FSMK. *1. Inaugural Lecture of Free Software certificate course at St.Joseph's College,Bangalore on the 15th September 4 p.m.* St.Joseph's College, Bangalore has incorporated 120 hours of free software sessions to be handled by FSMK and other like-minded Free Software Enthusiasts. The course syllabus will be put up on website of FSMK very soon. The idea is to to empower students to become productive self-supporting citizens of the free software community. Its an honour to have professor Eben deliver the first lecture of the course. *2. Prof.Eben at Ambedkar Community Computing Center (AC3) on the 16th September., evening* Before two years, RMS and Prof.Eben visited AC3 with only a few students who were being taught computers using Free Software. Today, these handful of young free software activists from the community are running three other Community Computing Centers completely on their own. Prof.Eben will visit AC3 for a community discussion, where the members of these centers will initiate a discussion on the activities so far, the ups and downs and the way forward. There will also be a small cultural event organized by AC3 students. *3. Interaction with Prof.Eben Moglen on the Freedom in the Cloud at Indian Institute of Science, on 17th September , 3p.m – 5 p.m, faculty hall IISc. * Speaker: Prof. Eben Moglen Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University Founder, Director-Counsel & Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center Time: Fri. Sep 17 2010 3pm-5pm Venue: Faculty Hall, IISc Title of Talk: "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing" Abstract: Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T, Bing. They'll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you can't wait to let them. They'll store your stuff, they'll organize your photos, they'll keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes into the "Cloud." How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting out again. This talk will discuss how much worse things have become since the pre-cloud era and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the era of Web 2.0. I cordially invite you all to come and celebrate software freedom day along with us during these events. -- Regards, Vignesh B. Tech in Computer Science National Institute Of Technology-Durgapur

Hello, I had used the @ symbol in my subject line. One user, whose name I do not seem to remember, thinks he knows better than other people what linguistic symbols to utilise in mailing lists, and he responded as below: ==quote==Please go back to Facebook/Twitter. List mail threads do not concatenate themselves with the @nonsense. Read the mailing list guidelines once again and try to respect them.==quote== I do not understand the first sentence. Should I then politely ask the honble user to *please* go back to wherever it is that etiquette is taught? Regards

Sometimes, after selecting any plugin too. It was working fine with previous version of Ubuntu i was using till last week.

Whoops: flamewars on mailing list twee-ness

Hello, My earlier message should have read as below. Many of the users who rant of others not trimming their mails, top-posting, bottom-posting and other bits of prissiness have been guilty of worse discourtesies in the past. I remember one of the so-called 'senior' users has called someone a moron. The same user has now appointed himself a custodian of netiquette. I suspect that this ranting about trimming mails and such is merely a pretext to keep their name appearing on the list i.e to boost their egos. Regards Suhit Kelkar.
