Linux 3.0
by jtd＠mtnl.net.in 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Linux 3.0 on AMD Hudson (Gigabyte E350N-USB3). Had a major struggle getting 5.1 sound going - all kernels between 2.6.32 and 2.6.39 have a problem with ALC892 (something to do with 64bit DMA). The display would not work at all and I had to ssh to get to the machine. Careful inspection of syslog showed a missing radeon binary firmware blob - !@#$ piece of shit I HATE BLOBS - getting it from sid repo solved the problem. Not much info on this board, it being very new even abroad. I am pleasantly surprised at this board being available a month ago. I decided to purchase this one because coreboot was being ported and presumed there would be no problems, since it's a lot harder to run linux in bios than as a regular kernel. Now to test 1080P.

Good Media Organiser
by Rony 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hello, I am looking for a good multimedia organiser that can dig into my system and organise pictures, music, video files that are scattered across many folders as doing it manually is just not possible for me. It should automatically categorise media types. It should have category views that I can simply click on like music, videos etc. so I can get all those files in one list. I have been trying out different media players/centers but they don't have what I want. -- Freedom is a shared resource. Take some, leave the rest for others. Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists. Post your replies below the relevant original text, leaving a line space. Regards, Rony.

Dear FOSS user, Greetings from IIT Bombay, Spoken Tutorial project ! This is to let you know about this project which promotes FOSS use via helping the learning process. *What is a Spoken Tutorial* "A Spoken Tutorial explains the steps involved in carrying out a computer based activity - such as using the features of some software - with the help of a screencast and narration. A screencasting software captures all the activities on the screen along with the narration and plays it back as a movie. This movie, 10 minutes long, is called the Spoken Tutorial. The Spoken Tutorial serves as a valuable self-study tool." *Benefits of the Spoken Tutorial* - Learn Software and pass certification exams - Get better Employment opportunities - Learn complicated topics through simple tutorials - Pass college exams - Improve English language - Cost effective – end user does not pay anything - Earn honorarium when you create Spoken Tutorials *To use or create Spoken Tutorials* *all you need is -* - a PC/Laptop - a Headphone with a mic input, - free software for capturing the screencast and narration - lots of Enthusiasm ! We would like to hold workshops - "Events" - to teach specific FOSS and teach "How to create Spoken Tutorials".Typically we target Institutes having Computer Science/ Engineering programs. *The FOSS we have Spoken Tutorials for are Linux, Latex, Camstudio, Scilab, Python, Orca and Java, GCC, PHP MySQL and others under preparation. *The tutorials are offered in English and some in select Indian languages too.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/29/204 Trust Linus to be a boring techie. Atleast he could have named it 8.0 Astra or 8.0 Gilese. But he's promised to be a ^&^hole.

We are seeing an increasing trend of crossposting of email on most of the LUGs of India.. So can we stop this??? we can choose one or create a FINAL mailing list for this purpose or BAN cross-posting in all LUGs.. We need to think some better solutions.. Constructive replys are highly welcome.. -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya │ http://narendrasisodiya.com └─────────────────────────┘

[cross-post] Ruby on Rails vs Drupal - for new website
by Hameed 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hi Friends I would like to know which of these frameworks - RoR or Drupal - should be chosen for developing a new website. The website should support the following. - A system for - requests to be created by customers, - which get automatically assigned to engineers - request gets resolved by the assigned engineer - customer closes the request with a rating - Excellent Database support - both customers and engineers must be able to register / login to see the status of their requests. - Automatic emails on request status - Generating Reports must be easy. - 'Social' from the ground up. - Easy Payment Gateway Integration - 100,000+ Hits a day - support for Great UI. More importantly, Changes to the UI must be very easy. A google search on the topic gives results pointing more towards Drupal (as probably the internet is dominated by PHP/Drupal developers) and am finding it hard to decide. I also heard a suggestion to go for Microsoft ASP .NET for scalability reason- confused again :(. I do not want to "pay" for Microsoft products. I feel an open source product supported by a community of developers would be better than a Microsoft product. And that would keep the costs low as well. Could you please give me some pointers. Once website development starts, changing the framework later on would prove to be very expensive and I want to avoid such a situation. Hence, need your expert opinions to decide now. Please excuse if ilug is not the forum to ask such a question. Thanks. Shaahul Hameed
