Hey, My galago pro is acting weird. It runs for a few minutes, then the power led starts blinking orange, and then it shuts down. The battery is pretty much dead. But it was working fine on AC power. Any ideas what it could be? Its 2.5 years old. I'm in India right now so I cannot set it to system 76 for repairs. I can prevent the shutdown by putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up buy i have to keep doing it every other minute as the orange light start blinking within 2 min. -- "Jiska Pata Nahi Hota, Uska Pata Nahi Chalta" Shanti dhruva(a)lokegaonkar.in <mailto:dhruva@lokegaonkar.in> lokegaonkar.in <https://lokegaonkar.in>

hello testing list migration to new server

by Pirate Praveen

Hi, We have been trying migrate the mailing list to lists.fsci.in for sometime but due to technical issues encountered with mailman 2 to mailman 3, we had to wait. Finally with help from Akshay S Dinesh, we fixed the issue. So if you see this message, please reply so we can confirm the move to new server is successful. Now you can go to https://lists.fsci.in to see the archives and even post directly from the web. Mailman 3 has much proved web interface. Thanks also to Siddharth, Abhijith, Abhinav, Bady, Akhil, Anurag and probably more people who made this possible. Thanks Praveen

order of proximity from the Centre while alighting: Kurla terminus, Dadar terminus, Bombay Central and CST (Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus or VT (Victoria Terminus), farthest being CST. From each of the stations you may follow the instructions given below to reach the Centre. * If you alight at CST/VT, buy a ticket to Mankhurd board the trains marked M, VA, BR, KD or PL. The journey time is approximately 55 minutes. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of the station on the east side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Soon after the first right turn you will see HBCSE to your left. * If you alight at Dadar, you may directly take a taxi to Anushaktinagar Bus Terminus or BARC Gate. The taxi fare will be about Rs.120/-. It is not advisable to take the suburban train in the evening after 3pm, specially on a working day. If you wish to come by the suburban train, buy a ticket to Mankhurd, take a train for Kurla station, and then switch over to harbour line train on platform number 7 to reach Mankhurd.

In brief: Kollar-Kotelly accepts the settlement that the Federal Gov't and some states wanted, but she wants a minor change to it; and she has decided the case which was pursued by the other states as well, mostly ordering Microsoft to refrain from certain behaviors with regard to the user-visible desktop. Overall: a massive win for Microsoft, who can restrict the release of its APIs to major commercial companies only. </quote> [1] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/FinalDecree.pdf [2] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/Lit11-1.pdf [3] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/PubIntOrd.pdf [4] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/StateSettlement.pdf [5] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/Statesord.pdf An Anonymous Reader on newsforge.com sums it up as "If the Beltway sniper could get the same judge, they will be told not to do it again and be given a new box of cartridges." -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

The demise of CentOS as we knew it

by Arun Khan

You may have read about this already. Sharing the news as FYI for those using CentOS as an RHEL compatible OS. IBM/RHEL has changed the strategy for CentOS support (software) with CentOS 8 (EOL 2021-12-31); CentOS 7 support will not change till it's EOL in 2024-06-24 [1]. The gist of it. CentOS 8 will become "upstream" for RHEL and no longer be based on RHEL source RPMs; break binary compatibility. Read more here >> https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/ Many enterprises adopted CentOS because of it's binary compatibility with RHEL and 3rd party software solutions. Small companies, developers, and even big enterprises who are using CentOS will have to rethink their Linux OS roadmap. Here is an ArsTechnica article with alternates for RHEL compatibility. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/centos-linux-is-gone-but-its-refuge… [1] https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product -- Arun Khan (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) "If you do not come out of your shell, you are just a nut."
