18 Apr '07

Hello, I am trying to compile a linux kernel (actually, have tried 2: linux-2.6.19.1.tar.bz2 and linux-2.6.20.6.tar.bz2 (got the latest copy from www.kernel.org)), on gcc:- $ gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: i486-linux-gnu Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,treelang --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls --program-suffix=-4.1 --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-mpfr --with-tune=i686 --enable-checking=release i486-linux-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) on both the kernels, on doing a "make menuconfig", i get the foll errors (not giving the whole list of errors): scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:193: error: expected ')' before '*' token scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:116: error: 'WINDOW' undeclared (first use in this function) scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:130: error: 'KEY_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:232: warning: implicit declaration of function 'wrefresh' scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:210: error: 'KEY_UP' undeclared (first use in this function) and *weirdly* enough, i opened a particular file (scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c), and found that "KEY_UP", etc have actually NOT been defined :( am i doing something wrong? -- warm regards, Pradnyesh Sawant -- Be yourself, everyone else is taken. --Anon

JSP problem with Firefox
by Rony 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello All, I was filling out the online passport registration form and had problems with the date field. After the focus was moved to any other field, the last digit of the date would get cut. You can try it out on the link below. https://passport.gov.in/pms/OnlineRegistration.jsp Even reducing the date from 4 to 2 characters show the same result. Even in windows the same problem existed in firefox. The only way it worked was in IE7. (It may be working in IE6 too but I don't have it). Is there a work around for this? I am planning to write to the Delhi office that may be in charge of the website. You could write too. -- Regards, Rony.

Hello All, I was reading a BBC report on the search engine www.ask.com and decided to try it. The keywords 'olsr wireless mesh' threw up nice results and in this page http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/events/1103.en.html there is a pdf file that explains the practical aspects of OLSR meshes and how to optimise link quality. http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/attachments/665-Slides_Communit… -- Regards, Rony.

GSoC/KDE-2007 and our lug member
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi, I am sure most of us know about the annual event Google Summer Of Code. Like past years The KDE Project participated this year even. Actually I had posted about the event when it was kicked off this year. Anyways, results were declared sometime back and KDE got some 40[1] [2] slots from Google. But for me the bigger and happier news is that a lot of Indians participated this year and quite a few them submitted good proposals. There were 216 eligible proposals in all that were submitted to The KDE Project. And the news that is even more happier and bigger is that one of the chosen candidates is from our ``Amchi Mumbai" even - Sharan Rao. Some of us surely must have seen him / met him at LUG meets or otherwise. Sharan has been an occasional contributor to K3B since last year. Sharan's proposal about Umbrello was happily selected by mentors - I say this because I was present at the meeting and I noticed how proposals were judged strictly by core KDE devs. I think, I have mentioned before how being a ``actual" contributor helps in such cases because they already have seen your code. And more importantly, a good proposal does it job really well. Sharan's proposal was really good, more importantly something he thought all by himself and was completely out of the box and mentors didnot even put forth that in the stock ideas. All he did was found a cool application and found what it was lacking and made a good proposal around it. To be fair to other candidates, I must admit most of the 40 accepted proposals were just like that of Sharan. And all such proposals just passed with flying colours even if there was a discussion/debate on pros and cons of the proposals. If there were only disputes, it was due to certain conflicting proposals or duplicate proposals for the same idea, in which case the most suitable candidate was selected which ofcourse was measured by a scale called as - "who show most enthusiasm and maybe has submitted most patches or proposal was very very strong". It was taken care that proposal was worth atleast 30+ hours per week of work and was even informed to student if he had other ideas. Anything less and the candidate was questioned. I was sort of happy and pleasantly surprised watching mentors calling a spade a spade or some such metaphor. And since I have spoken to personally ( or heard about ) quite a few candidates this year, the common thing was their enthusiasm and willingness - be it Mike Authur, Marcus Hanwell or Sharan or anybody else. Anirudh Ramesh (based in Singapore) and Piyush Verma (Delhi based) are the other Indians in the list. Good luck to you both. Do well. Also heartiest congratulaltions to other members of the list who have been selected as well for other projects. Good wishes to all of you. Sharan, dude you rock! Congratulations and loads of good wishes. And one guy whom I really need to thank is our beloved admin - Anurag - who was instrumental in helping me get introduced to ( and meet ) Sharan ( - my favourite twit, is what I like to call him ) sometime Feb '06 or so. He has done really well for himself and learnt a lot without any other expectations and more importantly has contributed some lines of code to Free Software and I am sure he will do much much more.
