Issue using GTK based Application in KDE
by Neelesh Gurjar 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hi, I am using Fedora 8 with KDE 3.5 and using Tally 7.2 for Linux on this machine. Tally is GTK based application. When I run this application in KDE, some of the shortcut keys dont work however when I run it in GNOME those shortcut keys work properly. Tally has shortcut keys like "Alt+F12" "Alt+F11" etc. So how can I get this done in KDE ? Please help -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

Network and Sound not working
by Cyril Chacko 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

Dear all, Has anyone configured Debian Linux on Campaq Presario F733AU Laptop. I have installed Debian on the Laptop. The Ethernet card is not detected during the install. And after install, none of the devices worked properly. Going through the net I managed to find out how to get the display going. I had to use the Vesa driver instead of nv from Xorg. However I am not able to find anything to tell me what to do about my other devices. I am adding my lspci output to this mail. Thanks for all the help Regards Cyril chacko -- Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Make sure they are on you.

strftime for javascript
by Philip Tellis 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

They say that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks, so this dog has been up to some old tricks. A couple of days ago I released strftime[1] for javascript with partial support for all of PHP's strftime[2] format specifiers, and today I released version 1.2 with full support and the ability to localise it. Get it via freshmeat here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/strftime-js/ (if you want the tarballs) or directly here: http://hacks.bluesmoon.info/strftime/ (if you only want the source and docs). The code is BSD licensed. Some more info: - The opengroup specification for strftime has 33 format specifiers and 19 modified format specifiers - PHP's strftime has the 33 basic format specifiers and adds 3 more - This javascript implementation supports the entire PHP set, and does not support the 19 modified format specifiers - The code supports locale specific representations through a locale extension mechanism which is well documented [3] There are bound to be bugs, so send them my way any way you see fit. The project is also hosted on google code, but I'm not too happy with the interface and am considering moving it to sourceforge mainly for svn and issue tracking. If you have strong opinions one way or the other, let me know. Anyway, for now, play with it, let me know about bugs, if you want to write a localised module for a particular language, feel free to do so and send it in.

Why Schools Must Embrace ODF and FOSS
by Praveen A 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Schools are being prevented from enjoying a revolution in software provision, and self-sufficiency is being halted by the promotion of dependency, said Ian Lynch, spokesman for the Open Schools Alliance. "Innovation starts with teachers and pupils, but under BSF the school's IT strategy is taken out of its hands," he said. see more news at how Microsoft is trying to lock students at an early stage http://boycottnovell.com/2008/04/19/school-odf-koffice-nlnet/ We (those us us from Kerala) can be proud that we did not let our children to suffer, but be watchful, they are trying hard. See how Microsoft's playmate Infosys is selling our children and our countries future. http://groups.google.com/group/ilug-tvm/browse_thread/thread/5187fd263da0e0… -- പ്രവീണ്‍ അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില്‍ <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
