[Ilugc] Fedora 12 Beta now available!

2009-10-20 Thread Rahul Sundaram
Hi.

--

Fedora is a leading edge, free and open source operating system that
continues to deliver innovative features to many users, with a new
release every six months. We have reached the Fedora 12 Beta, the last
important development milestone of Fedora 12. Only critical bug fixes
will be pushed as updates leading up to the general release of Fedora
12, scheduled to be released in mid-November. We invite you to join us
and participate in making Fedora 12 a solid release by downloading,
testing, and providing us your valuable feedback.

http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease

Of course, this is a beta release, some problems may still be lurking.
Should you trip across one of them, be sure it gets fixed before release
by reporting your discovery at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/

Thank you!

What's New in Fedora 12?

* Optimized performance - All software packages on 32-bit (x86_32)
architecture have been compiled for i686 systems with special
optimization for Intel Atom processors used in many netbooks but without
losing compatibility with the overwhelming majority of CPUs. There is a
list of the rare CPUs which will no longer be supported.

* Smaller and faster updates - In Fedora 11, the optional yum-presto
plugin, developed by Fedora contributor Jonathan Dieter, reduced update
size by transmitting only the changes in the updated packages. Now, the
plugin is installed by default. Also, RPMs now use XZ rather than gzip
for compression, providing smaller package sizes without the memory and
CPU penalties associated with bzip2. This lets us fit more software into
each Fedora image, and uses less space on mirrors, making their
administrators' lives a little easier. Thanks to the Fedora
infrastructure team for their work in generating delta RPMs.

* NetworkManager broadband and other enhancements - NetworkManager,
originally developed by Red Hat's Dan Williams, was introduced in Fedora
7 and has become the de facto network configuration solution for
distributions everywhere. Enhancements to NetworkManager make both
system-wide connections and mobile broadband connections easier than
ever. Signal strength and network selection are available for choosing
the best mobile broadband connection when you're on the road. Bluetooth
PAN support offers a simple click through process to access the Internet
from your mobile phone. NetworkManager can now configure always-on and
static address connections directly from the desktop. PolicyKit
integration has been added so configuration management can be done via
central policy where needed. IPv6 support has also been improved.

* Next-generation (Ogg) Theora video - For several years, Theora, the
open and free format not encumbered by known patents has provided a way
for freedom-loving users to share video. Fedora 12 includes the new
Theora 1.1, which achieves near-H.264 quality, meeting the expectations
of demanding users with crisp, vibrant media in both streaming and
downloadable form. Thanks to the work of the Xiph.Org Foundation's
Christopher Monty Montgomery, sponsored by Red Hat, other Xiph
developers, and the contribution of Mozilla.org, Firefox 3.5 can deliver
free media on the web out of the box, using the Theora video and Vorbis
audio formats even better than the previous release of Fedora.

* Graphics support improvements - Fedora 12 introduces experimental 3D
support for AMD Radeon HD 2400 and later graphics cards. To try it out,
install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package. On many cards, this
support should allow desktop effects to be used. Kernel mode setting
(KMS) support, which was introduced on AMD hardware in Fedora 10 and
extended to Intel hardware in Fedora 11, is now extended to NVIDIA
hardware as well, meaning the great majority of systems now benefit from
the smooth, fully-graphical startup sequence made possible by KMS. The
Fedora graphical startup sequence now works better on systems with
multiple monitors. Also on multiple monitor systems, the desktop will
now automatically be spread across all monitors by default, rather than
having all monitors display the same output, including on NVIDIA chips
(where multiple monitor spanning was not possible without manual
configuration changes in Fedora 11). Systems with NVIDIA graphics chips
also gain initial support for suspend and resume functionality via the
default Nouveau driver. Initial support for the new DisplayPort display
connector has been added for Intel graphics chips. Support for Nvidia
and ATI systems is already under rapid development and will be included
in the next release of Fedora. Thanks to the Red Hat Xorg team including
Adam Jackson (X server), Kristian Høgsberg (Intel driver), Dave Airlie
and Jerome Glisse (Radeon driver for AMD), and Ben Skeggs (Nouveau
driver for NVIDIA).

* Virtualization improvements - Not content with all the improvements in
Fedora 11, we've kicked virtualization based on KVM up another notch in
Fedora 12. There are extensive improvements in

[Ilugc] .a-tip-a-day. (lua programming - Python like scripting language [Part I])

2009-10-20 Thread Girish Venkatachalam
This post is bit heavy so let us start with a joke.

Long ago when  there was an ad in Sun TV which
went like this:

India tholai katchigalil muthal muraiyaga... putham puthiya thirai
padam Sun TV yil.

Another concept was the Rajni vaaram or Vivek vaaaram concept of
running related movies for
one week in KTV.

I want to spend some 3 days or so talking about lua.

Lua is a new programming language developed by Brazil I think and it
is Brazilian for moon.

That is why you find the crescent symbol in their websites.

Here is a nice sample:


-- -
-- UDP sample: echo protocol client
-- LuaSocket sample files
-- Author: Diego Nehab
-- RCS ID: $Id: echoclnt.lua,v 1.10 2005/01/02 22:44:00 diego Exp $
-
local socket = require(socket)
host = host or localhost
port = port or 1234
if arg then
host = arg[1] or host
port = arg[2] or port
end
host = socket.dns.toip(host)
udp = assert(socket.udp())
assert(udp:setpeername(host, port))
print(Using remote host ' ..host.. ' and port  .. port .. ...)
while 1 do
line = io.read()
if not line or line ==  then os.exit() end
assert(udp:send(line))
dgram = assert(udp:receive())
print(dgram)
end

Just copy paste this and use this server with it:

-
-- UDP sample: echo protocol server
-- LuaSocket sample files
-- Author: Diego Nehab
-- RCS ID: $Id: echosrvr.lua,v 1.12 2005/11/22 08:33:29 diego Exp $
-
local socket = require(socket)
host = host or 127.0.0.1
port = port or 1234
if arg then
host = arg[1] or host
port = arg[2] or port
end
print(Binding to host ' ..host.. ' and port  ..port.. ...)
udp = assert(socket.udp())
assert(udp:setsockname(host, port))
assert(udp:settimeout(5))
ip, port = udp:getsockname()
assert(ip, port)
print(Waiting packets on  .. ip .. : .. port .. ...)
while 1 do
dgram, ip, port = udp:receivefrom()
if dgram then
print(Echoing ' .. dgram .. ' to  .. ip .. : .. port)
udp:sendto(dgram, ip, port)
else
print(ip)
end
end

Now you know what to do.

Is this post too long for LUG? ;)

I will analyze this program tomorrow. Since you guys have switched off already.

I shall teach lua in the next couple of days.

I am a little confused. I spoke to Bharathi just now and I am not quite sure
whether my approach will fly. How can I teach lua in 3 days?

As to why lua?

Well it is way too obvious. ;)

It is a small programming language. It is perhaps as small as a scripting
language can ever get.

I like all things small. jQuery, OpenBSD, C.

And it is not my preference alone that you should care about(if  you care
about that at all).

Small things are the most powerful.

lua is used for various tasks like embedding config file parsing in
the C UNIX daemons for instance. It is trivial to embed a lua
interpreter into C code.

I don't remember how I got to know lua or even how I got to know Shreya.

Nowadays it has become so familiar especially with the

'Call Mumbai like you call Madurai' ads that  I forget the initial introduction.

ion window manager has excellent lua integration. All configurations in
ion are done using lua scripts.

lua can be used for generating thumbnails of images, for socket
communication for simple text based protocols like HTTP, SMTP or FTP.

It can be used for math and whatever perl or python can do.

Its potential is already very obvious to me.

I think I have tried to sell it in a small way.

In case you are still not convinced perhaps looking at my sample code
would help? Obviously I am not the author. ;)

There are more things to Lua than just the size of the language.
llvm-lua [as with all other languages ported to the llvm optimizer and
code generator] is bound to make it uber-quick. There are quite
a few apps using lua. elinks, scite, some Windows games...

And of course. The fact that it is not batteries included like python
means that you have a good chance of implementing some
libraries yourself :)

P.S: This is a strange co-incidence since I got llvm-lua running
just yesterday and it was the first project I was looking forward to
seriously contribute to :P

[Ilugc]: GRUB Error 22

2009-10-20 Thread Ramanathan Muthaiah
I was planning to install Fedora 7 (I agree it's a VERY old version, at this
point I don't have a copy of Fedora 10 or 11 CD/DVD) in my home PC.
With the first /dev/hda already running Fedora 5 (agreed, am out-o-f-date),
I backed up the data in /dev/hdb and booted via Fedora 7 CD.
Via the install process (GUI driven) I created fresh partitions in /dev/hdb,
formatted them, selected the packages to install and started the
installation; few minutes into the installation, install complained that it
didn't have enough space (aoubt 900mb) for /mnt/sysimage (something like
that).

So, I decided to defer the installation and reboot back into original config
with FC5 but GRUB complained with Error 22.

FWIW, FC7 CD came bundled with EFY Dec'07 issue and during the installation,
GRUB did not detect my existing operating systems in /dev/hda.
I had multiple FC5 running different kernels, Ubuntu (again quite old) and
win 2000.

Looking at Google search and browsing, and reading through the various
forums, it seems to me that the existing OS cofigs in /dev/hda is lost
forever ?
Is this correct ? or is there a way to recover and fix this permanently to
retrieve the working config ?

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
