[Report] Etch-Kde Single CD Installation.
by Rony 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hello All, My Kubuntu 6.10 became painfully slow so I decided to trim it and a page on the web showed 3 ways to edit startup items. Rcconf, file-rc among them. File-rc conflicted with sysv-rc so I removed it and while doing so, waved goodbye to most of the main packages. So it was time for a re-load. Wanting to give Etch stable a try, a single CD KDE version ftp://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Linux/Debian/debian-cd/4.0_r1/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r1-i386-kde-CD-1.iso was downloaded from a Taiwan mirror using 'wget -c url'. I don't know if the site was the same or another one but it was Taiwanese and among the first 4 in the list. The system configuration is P4 2.4 Ghz., Intel 845 GEBV2, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB IDE HDD. Download after 10 pm India is good as Taiwan is sleeping by then. Installation was absolutely un-eventfull and smooth. Used default install instead of guiinstall at boot prompt. During the pre-install setup, it asks whether you want to install packages from the mirror so select 'No' if you want to reduce your MTNL Triband bill. It will still look for security mirrors and download about 50-60 MB of security updates. Video and sound was properly detected by default. The distro is packed with KDE utilities but does not have Open Office or KOffice and no CUPS. It comes with Iceweasel which is an avtar of Firefox. Since mirrors were not selected during install, the apt /etc/apt/sources.lst file was not having any repo entries except for security. There was no sudo package, so it was installed using apt-get. The /etc/sudoers file was edited using 'nano' since 'vi' gave problems. Then 'vim' was installed using apt-get. vi worked fine after that. These are done from the CD. Next, searched the net for apt sources and found a copy of someone's sources.lst for etch and copy pasted it. After an apt-get update, it was time to download other required packages. They are listed below. knemo - for network monitoring. adept - A lovely gui for apt. It helps in searching related packages other than the main namesake. cupsys, cups-pdf, cupsys-client, cupsys-common, cupsys drivers, printconf. Icedove - avtar of Thunderbird. Iceweasel and Icedove use default .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird folders in the user directory, so restoring backups is simply a copy and paste of the entire folders. Cups-pdf is a utility to add a system wide pdf printer. The HP Deskjet 610c printer was setup using a browser and entering localhost:631 as the url. The pdf printer was added by selecting 'Virtual Printer PDF' from the initial list. In the drivers list, select 'Raw Printer' and go ahead. By default, cups-pdf creates a folder called PDF in the home directory. It can be changed by editing the file /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf. Open Office is available as an older version in apt, so DON'T install it. Go to ftp://ftp.mirror.tw/pub/openoffice/stable/2.3.0/OOo_2.3.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz and download the file. Then untar it and you will get a DEBS folder full of .deb packages and a subfolder called Desktop Integration. Get into the DEBS folder and use 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb' to install all the deb packages. Then get into the Desktop Integration folder and install the last package using 'sudo dpkg -i package_name'. This is the smoothest and sexiest installation of Open Office in Linux. For running knemo, go to KMenu -> Control Center -> Internet & Network -> Network Monitor. Check the box that says 'Use knemo to monitor your interfaces'. Thats all for now. Things appear to be running smoothly. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

Fwd: The KDE-SIG needs (your) help
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sebastian Vahl <ml(a)deadbabylon.de> Date: 30 Oct 2007 03:45 Subject: The KDE-SIG needs (your) help To: fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com, fedora-desktop-list(a)redhat.com, fedora-art-list(a)redhat.com, fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com, fedora-list(a)redhat.com, fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com This is a request for participation: The KDE-SIG [1] is atm lacking active contributors. And we really need some help in doing our job to provide a good KDE version in Fedora - especially with the upcoming KDE 4.0 and the inclusion in Fedora 9. If you don't know how you could help us here is a list (which is also in the wiki): * Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged for Fedora. Package it to improve the user experience. * Reviewers: Only a few persons are doing the kde-related reviews. Help us reviewing so that more packages could be included. * Testers: If you love KDE use the development version or the updates-testing repository and report bugs, bugs, bugs, request enhancements or features. We need your feedback to improve KDE. * Bugs: Become a BugZapper and help us with kde-related bugs. * Documentation writers: The documentation (esp. the DesktopUserGuide) is GNOME-centered. Help us to provide an equivalent for KDE. * Release Notes: The few people that are working on the new KDE-Spin are quite busy with development issues. If you want to help us in writing the release notes for the next version of Fedora we would give you all the info you need. * Wiki: Maintain http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE and keep it updated with end user information. * Artists: To provide a matching theme for nodoka-metacity-theme and provide an unified desktop experience. But this is not a complete list. If you're interested in making KDE in Fedora better, you're more than welcome. The list of participants in the wiki is atm not a list of active contributors. When setting up the wiki the only demand was an interest in KDE to be listed on this page. This list would be changed in the future to be culled down to the list of active (or reactivated) participants. This has become necessarely because there are only (less or more) 3 active contributors atm (plus Than Ngo). But the list indicates that there are enough people helping with KDE. If you are interested in joining the KDE-SIG please add your name to this list, answer to this mail, join us in #fedora-kde at freenode or attend the weekly KDE-SIG-Meetings (every tuesday 17:00 UTC). I will also add a topic to the agenda of the meeting next week to introduce new contributors. [2] The attendance at the SIG-Meetings is of course not required. But this way we would know of each other. And they are also the main place of discussing the next steps in the development (besides fedora-devel-list). If you have any further questions please answer to this mail or write me directly. And be sure: If your are willing to help you're welcome (regardless of your skills). :) Sebastian [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2007-11-06 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list -- GPG key ID: 63D4A5A7 Key server: pgp.mit.edu

Re: [ilugd] [PLUG] [x-post] foss events list in india 2008?
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

> http://www.linuxjournal.com/xstatic/community/events is one road to Linux Industry Events? It contains IIT Bombay's Techfest as the lone entry from India. Foss.in is not listed. >From what I have seen from attending Techfest a couple of years back, it is not a particularly Linux or free software oriented event. They did invite Mark Shuttleworth and might use GNU/Linux in their events (eg., programming contests), but that does NOT make it a "Linux Industry Event". They do have an event named "Open Software", but the software is not necessarily "open source". Wonder what the definition of "Linux Industry Event" might be. Cheerio, Debarshi -- GPG key ID: 63D4A5A7 Key server: pgp.mit.edu
