Screencast project - Call for contributions?
by Roshan N Baladhanvi 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

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. http://www.ubuntu-in.org

List, This probably doesn't have much to do with the technical aspect of FOSS, but of the pioneer of the Free Software Movement, RMS's video which includes a very old photo, without the beard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1DFwtR755I&NR=1 http://www.ubuntu-in.org

_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.

WIFI meeting ; ; --- can you bring olsr from www.olsr.org there since every notebook can support it
by Erach 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

> 3. Re: Please make this list searchable ---- or put it on yahoo > groups / google groups ( ????? ??? ) > 4. Re: Please make this list searchable ---- or put it on yahoo > groups / google groups (Anurag) Thank you for making the list searchable ----- now I read on www.olsr.org THAT EVERY computer notebook have ethernet wireless 11 can host olsr in the driver if it supports ad-hoc protocol. OLSR is layer 3. Well, so no money is needed to switch to olsr. If people start playing with OLSR now, I have heard that a computer notebook from HCL costs $ 250 ---- so can cheap notebooks be enabled for OLSR. The prices of cheapest notebooks, if it follows that of mobiles, will be Rs 5,000 in 4 years. I can't come but I read your list regularly in archive mode. Erach
