On their website following is mentioned: Linux Internals & Device Drivers Programming (5 Days) Boot Process, Kernel recompilation Implementing System Calls Multi Process & Multi Thread Programming IPC Mechanism & Programming Debugging Kernel Module Programming OS Services & Data Structures Character Device Drivers Bock Device Drivers Hardware & Interrupt Handling Network Drivers Since number of hours were not mentioned explicitly, I assume that about two hours per day of training time is involved; like in other institutes. Now I wonder whether all these things could be covered in just 5 days. A clear mention of training hours may help prospective trainees to estimate the depth of knowledge imparted in such sessions.

by Rony 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hello, In Firefox there is a plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 called downloadhelper http://www.downloadhelper.net/ Just install this firefox plugin and ensure that you have the ffmpeg package installed through your distro's package manager. When you play the video in youtube you will an animated tool icon next to the address bar. It will allow you directly download and convert the video to your customised format, even mp3 for sound only. In the Tools -> DownloadHelper menu there is a 'preferences' section. Thats where you first set all your custom preferences and once you are set, simply click on the drop down list of the animated tool icon and select a download video format, it will open another submenu that has options like 'download', 'download and convert' etc. Thats it. It is a one click download and convert to your preferred folder. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Forwarding the announcement :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sudhanwa Jogalekar <sudhanwa.com(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 12:15 AM Subject: [PLUG] Announcement: Drupal Sprint India on October 30-31 2009 To: Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List <plug-mail(a)plug.org.in>, Dear all, This is a formal announcement of Drupal Sprint India event happening on October 30-31 2009. An event for those who love Drupal, geeks and non-geeks alike. Announcing Drupal Sprint India, a gathering of Drupal enthusiast from all over India, to contribute to Drupal development. The event is organized by Pune Linux Users Group with the support of Bhaskaracharya Pratishthan as Venue Sponsors. Drupal is probably the best community driven CMS in open source. Community driven softwares need community contributions for regular enhancements and this is your chance to contribute and gain karma. Drupal sprint India is a two day non-stop event where Drupal developers, documentation and translation guys will get together to enhance Drupal. We will have code sprints, documentation sprints as well as translation sprints. Join coding sprints to fix patches for upcoming Drupal 7 release or to port modules from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 or to develop new modules from scratch. Join Documentation sprint to document Drupal. Documentation sprint will be headed by Addison Berry, Drupal documentation project lead. Those interested in localization can join the party to translate Drupal to local languages. You need not have *any experience* with enhancing Drupal before hand, even newbies are invited. That is not all, we have more in store for you. Got any Drupal success story to share or you have put Drupal to any innovative use or any magnificent case study where you have integrated Drupal with third party web services or web sites? This is the time to showcase this. Parallel to sprint, we will hold talks and workshops to showcase the capabilities of Drupal beyond CMS to build website. If you have a story to showcase, register for the event right ahead. Talks/Workshop registration ends October 15 2009. All talks and registrations submitted will go through a community voting and top 10 talks plus workshops will be chosen for the event. We plan to hold total of 8 hours of talks and 8 hours of workshops around Drupal over two days. Still interested in Drupal to use it in your next big venture... Just drop in and learn from the best Drupal brains around the country on how to put Drupal to best use. So click http://drupalindia2009.plug.org.in now and register for the event. The event is free, registration is free. All you have to make sure that your code is also FREE. So, what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar for the event dates!!

Ext3 Issues
by Rony 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hello, I had installed a 250 GB SATA drive in my system using a PCI to SATA card. It had 3 partitions. One small primary partition with NTFS and the remaining extended partition with 2 equal and large ext3 logical partitions. Suddenly one day I got ext3 errors while booting and the 2 ext3 partitions would not mount. Both had bad superblocks. One partition with important data could be recovered using e2fsck but the other had a very bad superblock so I finally formatted it again with ext3. The primary NTFS partition was ok all the time. What are the possible causes for this sudden busting of superblocks? The bad blocks check did not reveal any bad blocks so that part was ok. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !
