Booting problem, kernel panic, tried to kill idle process
by Satya 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Booting problem, kernel panic, tried to kill idle process, keeps asking for fsck of root partition. That is a summary of what happens when my mom tries to boot the Linux box that she's trying to use. That's all I could gather over the phone. It's a Redhat box with custom kernel etc. It was working when I left. Could someone go over there (Prabhadevi) and find out what the real problem is, and fix it? She has the root password and her user account. I'd do it, but being in California is a problem. Contact me privately if you are able and willing to do this. If you could find the problem with and fix the CPU fan as well, that's a plus. -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> Shh! Be vewy quiet, I'm hunting wuntime errors!

linux in engg colleges
by Triptpal Singh 14 Nov '01

14 Nov '01

I have just done my BE (comps) from the university. To the best of my knowledge , my college , Ram rao Adik Institute of technology,Nerul,DY patil vidyanagar is the only college to have a first class Linux server lab with RH being used. Also it is the only college which probably has a LUG in the college -complete with mailing list and all....we all had login/passwds ,email accts... the best thing is this - all this is being managed by students -dedicated ones. Why dosent someone get in touch with RAIT and then go slowly from there - word spreads... ALso yes FE Unix is confirmed - but pls dont be too optimistic ...heres the real scene - FE's (first year guys) have 6 subjects , Unix with C being one of them For most , programming is a new concept , Unix being the extra burden. Infact for most professors too , Unix is a alien idea , anything the students do outside the cheap 100/- guides available will be adding to the limited knowledge the professor has. So all students will stick to textbooks since no one does practicals in engineering till maybe 3/4th year. Also Linux initiative in colleges - pls catch only 2/3rd year students. reason - only students who will want to work for u are students who want to do an MS in CS/EE/CE in usa. For which they need to show they were geeks all along , Linux being the perfect route ..specially when they do something for college - like organise "seminars " for NCST and TIFR(biig names) guys. this will be exaggerated to one paragraph in their recommendations and most engineering profs will blindly sign --so pls be careful abt the whole scene. again we might also get something useful by getting some awareness. I can contribute on sundays...in Mumbai...after december.. and yea right now I am in PCS , working for General Electric-Aircraft Engines on Java/JSP/servlets .....this is where most engineer learn their fundas - the 3 month industry training after college ..

TROWSER presentation on lug meet
by Anand 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

On 18th Lug meet, I would like to make a 15 minute presentation on TROWSER. In the last few days, I have been thinking on how to make it really beneficial for contributors in other words, how open source can really benefit the contributors. I would like to unveil a newer method of guaranteeing returns to contributors of the open source and free software. Please inform me in case any protocols or formalities need to be observed.
