AFAIK you have received 3 mails from co-ordinator asking you to read the rules. Did you read it?

[Ilugc] UTF-8 issues with mingw
Hi,
I am having a strange problem with a program compiled with mingw/gcc under
windows environment. Please look at the following C code snippet...
wordlist.txt contains UTF-8 Tamil text.
if ((fileHandle = _wfopen( Lwordlist.txt,Lrt,ccs=UTF-8)) != NULL)
{
wchar_t c;
for(a=0;a5;a++)
{
c = fgetwc(fileHandle);
printf(%04X %d\n,c,sizeof(wchar_t));
}
}
It is working perfectly in Windows Vista. That is, it produces an output
like
0B85 2
0B83 2
0BB1 2
0BBF 2
0BA3 2
But in Windows XP, it produces an unexpected output like
00EF 2
00BB 2
00BF 2
00E0 2
00AE 2
What could be the problem? The first three values listed (in xp) are
actually UTF-8 markers.
Regards,
Arun Venkataswamy

[Ilugc] runtime linking without LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Hi, here is my problem, downloaded latest glib-2.0 (2.26) tarball and did './configure --prefix=/home/localuser/localbuilds/; make; make install'. At runtime, I need to use the latest libgio-2.0.so (because of GDBusProxy) which is inside my '/home/localuser/loacalbuilds/lib'. Is there any way to link to this latest library without using LD_LIBRARY_PATH? One proper way is to create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/glib-2.26.conf file and add /home/localuser/localbuilds/lib to it, then executing 'sudo /sbin/ldconfig -v' will rebuild system wide /etc/ld.so.cache, but I don't have root permission to follow this method. Also, there is no hint of a local ld.so.cache in ld-linux.so(8), ldconfig(8),ld(8) and ld.so.conf(5) man pages. Is there any way to solve this? basically I'm not a root user and I don't want to mess my environment with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

[Ilugc] Unable to get wifi up with knetworkmanager
Hardware: Acer 5542 ( Atheros WiFi, ) OS: Debian Squeeze kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64. Desktop: KDE 4.4.5 WiFi and Ethernet drivers are loaded, /sbin/ifconfig shows all the network devices properly. knetworkmanager is visible in the systray. The problem: When I login in to the desktop; the knetworkmanager icon shows the RJ45 connector instead of the WiFi indicator. When I click on the icon, I can see the WiFi AP and respective signal strengths. My AP is configured as WPA2 Personal and I have also added the WiFi MAC address of my laptop to it's filter list. When I select the AP, I get the WPA2 Personal dialog box; I enter the passphrase. I also select Show password to see that the passphrase that I am typing in is correct. It is accepted but then nothing happens - no connection. The systray icon continues to show the RJ45 image. This is forcing me to use the wired ethernet connection and limiting my ability to move around in the office. Any idea what could be the problem?

That is, vowels used in the beginning of the words? actually there are two types of vowel - one that is a character in it's own right and the other that is just an addition to a character. My code counts the first type of vowel (which is at the beginning of a word), but not the second type. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Have you tried running ./configure --help, you should find options where you can specify different include and library paths. ELF format spec permits you to hard code library path in the binary itself. Should warn you that this practice is discouraged in favor of runtime linking using ld, LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are easier to manage. - Raja ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

If you want set this clock as default in your terminal,
Include this command in your .bashrc file
Ex:
[stud...@mercury ~] $ vim .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
#Terminal clock
export PS1=${PS1%\\\$*}' \t \$ '
Save this using Press Esc and type :wq!
Now, you can see the Clock every time when, you open your terminal
[stud...@mercury ~] 12:43:34 $ echo Default Clock Was Set
