[Ilugc] Fedora Graphics Test Week : This Week
The Fedora project announces that this week is Graphics Test Week. This is the highlight of the Fedora 13 Test Day cycle, with Test Days for NVIDIA, ATI/AMD and Intel graphics all falling this week. Tuesday April 13th is NVIDIA Test Day [1], Wednesday April 14th is ATI/AMD Test Day [2], and Thursday April 15th is Intel graphics Test Day [3]. Although these are Fedora events, the results will ultimately benefit almost all distributions: Fedora tends to use the latest versions of graphics-related components and sends all its changes upstream, so the fixes that result from these events will end up in all major distributions. Even if you're not a Fedora user, you can help Linux as a whole by contributing your test results. The testing can be done using a live image, so there's no need to install Fedora onto your system to contribute to the testing: just download a live image, write it to a CD or USB stick, boot it, and run through the tests. Comprehensive test instructions are available on the Wiki pages, and you enter your results into a table on the Wiki page; there's no need to have a Fedora wiki account to do this. QA team members and developers will be available on the IRC channels throughout each event to help with testing and triage, and to work on some of the problems immediately. The more results we get and the more bugs we expose, the better it is for everyone, so if you have time, please check out the Wiki pages and join the IRC channel - #fedora-test-day on the Freenode network - to help out! You can use WebIRC [4] if you're not a regular IRC user - just click that link and you're in the chat.

[Ilugc] RPM Packaging Online Workshop : 16th Apr 2010, 7:00 PM
Hi, I am going to running a workshop via #fedora-india IRC channel in freenode coming Friday. You should have a recent Fedora system running and make sure to install fedora-packager before coming up. # yum install fedora-packager Reading material at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/A_Short_RPM_Tutorial I will be covering the basics of RPM Packaging in Fedora and you can follow along and build a hello package. I can continue the session for a couple of hours or until everyone gets their package built and verified, whichever comes first. My nick is mether and I am usually available in #fedora-india if you have any questions about getting started. Rahul ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

thx, well - I've tried couple of things from ltp tools base. What I see here is not the data loss or something like, all I need to understand the reasons behind the delays in streaming of data. Also I'm not sure how to check the app performance running on two different operating systems parallely. - Original Message - From: Mohan L Sent: 04/13/10 05:52 PM To: ILUG-C Subject: Re: [Ilugc] RHEL Vs SUSE: Distributed/Multithreading application performance On Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 5:13 PM, Open Source open.sou...@gmx.com wrote: Can someone please let me know if you have tools/scripts handy to measure the performance (I/O, Memory and CPU utlization) of the distributed apps running in two different operation system environments?

[Ilugc] Announcing the release of Fedora 13 Beta!!
The countdown is on: Fedora 13, Goddard, is set to launch in mid-May. Fedora is the leading edge, free and open source operating system that continues to deliver innovative features to users worldwide, with a new release every six months. But wait! What's that? You can't wait a whole month to try out the latest and greatest in Fedora's leading-edge technologies? You want to be the first to see what's new? Well, you're in luck. The Fedora 13 Beta release is available NOW. Hop on board and take a tour of the rocking new features. http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease?anF13b What is the Beta Release? The beta release is the last important milestone of Fedora 13. Only critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates leading up to the general release of Fedora 13, scheduled to be released in the middle of May. We invite you to join us and participate in making Fedora 13 a solid release by downloading, testing, and providing your valuable feedback. Of course, this is a beta release, some problems may still be lurking. A list of the problems we already know about is found at the Common F13 bugs page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs If you find a bug that's not found on that page, be sure it gets fixed before release by reporting your discovery at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/. Thank you! A universe of new features for end users: * Automatic print driver installation. We're using RPM and PackageKit for automatic installation of printer drivers, so when you plug in a printer, Fedora will automatically offer to install drivers for it if needed. * Desktop enhancements. The Shotwell photo manager, Deja-dup backup software, Pino Identi.ca/Twitter client, and Simple Scan scanning utility are all delivered by default to provide a enhanced desktop experience out of the box. * NetworkManager improvements include better Mobile Broadband, Bluetooth, and new CLI abilities. NetworkManager is now a one-stop-shop for all of your networking needs in Fedora, be it dial-up, broadband, wifi, or even Bluetooth. Mobile broadband enhancements now show signal strength. Old-style dial-up networking (DUN) over Bluetooth has also been added. And now, you can even use NetworkManager from the command line in addition to the improved graphical user interface. Getting a connection when you need it has never been easier to figure out, whether you're at home, at work, at the local coffee shop, or riding your city's wi-fi enabled public transport. * Color management. Do you like your printouts to look the same as they do on screen - or your scanner output to look the same as what you just scanned? Color Management allows you to better set and control your colors for displays, printers, and scanners, through the gnome-color-manager package. * Enhanced iPod functionality. Newer Apple iPod, iPod Touch and iPhone models are supported by some of your favorite photo management software, and music library applications such as Rhythmbox. The devices are automatically attached using the libimobiledevice library, so you can work with your content more easily. * Experimental 3D graphics support extended to free Nouveau driver for NVidia cards. In this release we are one step closer to having 3D graphics supported on completely free and open source software (FOSS) drivers. Fedora 12 saw the enabling of a number of ATI cards; this time around, we've added a wide range of NVidia cards to our list of liberated video capabilities. You can install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package to try out the work in progress. * DisplayPort support improvements - Fedora 12 added initial support for the new DisplayPort display connector for Intel graphics chips. Support for Nvidia and ATI systems have now have added in this release. * Experimental user management interface. The user account tool has been completely redesigned, and the accountsdialog and accountsservice test packages are available to make it easy to configure personal information, make a personal profile picture or icon, generate a strong passphrase, and set up login options for your Fedora system. Try out the work in progress. For developers there are all sorts of additional goodies: * SystemTap static probes. SystemTap now has expanded capabilities to monitor higher-level language runtimes like Java, Python, and Tcl, and also user space applications, starting with PostgreSQL. In the future, Fedora will add support for even more user space applications, greatly increasing the scope and power of monitoring for application developers. * Easier Python debugging.

Re: [Ilugc] how to install linux which os is best ?
First of all, it's happy to see that you're interested in Linux but I would like recommend you to go through this one first: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html (take some free time, read it completely). Read through the basic concepts like what is operating system, Linux, file system, kernel, shell, memory, I/O etc., from internet before you start asking questions. (or email me: open[DOT]source[AT]gmx[DOT]com) I think links like http://www.linuxdocs.org is a nice place to start with but there are tons of other web pages available there in www. If you're interested in programming and advanced stuff: try this http://www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com/alp-folder There are many flavors (http://www.linux.org/dist/list.html) in Linux; you'll get to know which OS to install in your box once you understand the above basics.

Lack of git support and lack of transparency in pricing is a downer. Have you published the custom scripts anywhere? Rahul ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
