 Interesting diagnostic!  Yes, if I paste the text from the PDF into OOo
 writer, convert all to Nafees font and generate a fresh PDF it looks
 just fine.

Umm.. I was looking at whether - if you use a new OOo writer document
and, with the same font selected input randomly using appropriate
layout whether it gets rendered.

 Maybe I should get Joomla to just use OOo to generate PDFs from pages
 (j/k :)

Well, on the face of it, turns out that Joomla seems to be pushing out
a PDF that does not seem to render alright. Might be worth poking at
the internals to see how Joomla does generate the PDF. And, the
original post would be a good puzzle on indlinux list :)

I don't know if you have written that 'take' down somewhere, but it
would be interesting to know more about that. The rationale is that
there must be a reason why you feel comfortable CC licensing your

it would perhaps lead to a discussion rather than the shotgun-scatter

 What the kernel version has to do with running a program? It is the

there are a few applications which do require specific kernel versions. 
admittedly these are few, but these are from large ISVs as well.

 If you have a distro and your program which is LSB compliant you will not
 see much problems.

the configuration files may or may not be a problem, but there have been 
cases of applications not just working across RHEL3.x and RHEL4.x 
because of features included in the later version. a very rudimentary 
example could be applications assuming lower resistance from SELinux in 
RHEL5.x compared to RHEL4.x and failing in execution.

at the end of the day, the runnability of the application is something 
that is a function of the ISV development process which in turn also 
influences the OS development

 Yes, that is what LSB has helped achieve.

not completely though. the LSB Application Testing suite checks for 
symbol usage across what can be called the  highest common factor ie 
hugely generic across distributions. there are still distribution 
specific symbols (among other things) that applications can and do use 
and hence require rebuilds across distributions

LSB guidelines pertaining to distributions. Should be comfortable with
using traditional debugging tools for userspace, can demonstrate
competence in scripting and scripting languages and familiar with the
processes of producing open source software. We are looking at relevant
experience of around 3 years, but that is flexible

If interested, do drop a mail with your CV attached (PDF / text / ODF)
along with a small portfolio of code to sankar at redhat dot com. Please
do put Software Engineer in the $SUBJECT line.  Please do not reply to

Now I am getting a bit confused here. Ajay wrote about checking for ie
whether the --enable-pango flag exists or not. Not checking it ie
enabling it. I have no doubts that Konqueror is a fine browser capable
of handling Indic display/rendering and printing. However, that is
precisely not the point. In the last 2 cases where I have read (either
on mailing list or IRC) about Firefox b0rking on Indic, screenshots are
in place to show that given a particular base OS and a particular
Firefox release, Indic rendering does work (and these days as does Indic
printing). What could be well served if out of all this Konqueror is
best, Firefox drags a** mail a framework of some sort arises which is
relevant to test cases that can prove whether the particular website
when viewed using Firefox provides a functionally complete viewing
experience. That might turn out to be more than helpful given that the
Firefox roadmap is perhaps aimed at a Cairo integration too (from
existing Pango).

If it is a distribution specific issue, you are practised enough to file
a distribution bug along side filing one upstream. Additionally, there
is a Mozilla Project Day at foss.in/2007 - do raise these issues there
ie if you still want to see Firefox as a browser comparable to if not
better than Konqueror.

Good. That clears up one of my doubts as to whether you were more biased
towards never buy/purchase what is available for download group that
sometimes crops up on various mailing lists.

 But, i find implied somewhere in some of the comments on this thread,  
 the idea that 'free' mandriva is 'pirated'. It is not. I think the  
 paid for versions have some closed drivers or some other features.  
 And has more software on the DVD than the free DVD - which means what  
 is missing on the DVD has to be downloaded - that's all.

In spite of the facility of being able to download bits that make the
free DVD equivalent to the commercial DVD, if the original question was
with a clear intent of willingness to pay, I would say that it will be
generally better to encourage folks to pay to purchase.

 what are the best options for backing up 40 to 60 gb of data per month?
 dvd discs have come down in price, but some of the data-files are
 individually larger than 10gb (home video) and cutting and storing
 sliced versions across discs is rather inelegant.

If you can handle bandwidth cost, go for Amazon's service, might be
helpful. Else buy some HDD and back them up using amanda (perhaps ?)

On a side note, you are becoming somewhat of a niche UseCase - worth a

Further to your reply with the output, given proper packaging, yum
should have been able to resolve the dependencies and pull them down for
install. To really nail down the issue, I'd say that you might need to
take out livna and presto repo bits after a yum remove freeciv and then
try the install again (I am faintly hoping that it is not yum since for
me it does pull down SDL_mixer and timidity++ properly on x86, x86_64 boxes)

[ilugd] Feedback required on recently released distributions and jack retasking

2007-07-08 Thread Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Those who are using some of the recently released distributions with one
of the chipsets mentioned at the end: are there issues with Jack
retasking on Linux ?

:Sankarshan

- From http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-009244.htm

Jack Retasking - Automatic reassignment of audio jack functionality
based on device type being plugged in. Example: When a microphone is
plugged into the speaker jack, the system can automatically re-route the
mic data to that jack

- From http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm

Intel HD Audio also provides improvements that support better jack
retasking. The computer can sense when a device is plugged into an audio
jack, determine what kind of device it is, and change the port function
if the device has been plugged into the wrong port. For example, if a
microphone is plugged into a speaker jack, the computer will recognize
the error and can change the jack to function as a microphone jack. This
is an important step in getting audio to a point where it ‘just
works‘-users won‘t need to worry about getting the right device plugged
into the right audio jack.

Jack retasking applies to:

Intel® 430 Chipset Family
Intel® 440 Chipset Family
Intel® 810 Chipset Family
Intel® 815 Chipset Family
Intel® 848P Chipset
Intel® 852/855 Chipset Family
Intel® 865 Chipset Family
Intel® 875P Chipset
Intel® 910 Express Chipset Family
Intel® 915 Express Chipset Family
Intel® 925X Express Chipset Family

 Yes, qucs (Quite Universal Circuit Simulator).

 Yes. My choice is representation of circuits in .sch format that qucs

Ok now this gets me a bit more curious. Circuit Diagrams would be based
on some well known theories - am I correct ? If a reimplementation of
the theory to make them compliant with FOSS tools require author

 Yes. The circuit diagrams for explaining theoretical concepts are

So this means that Book ABC will use an unique diagram for Theory 1 and
book DEF will use another for the same Theory 1 ?


 Actually the book says All Rights Reserved. It goes on to say that
 any part of the book cannot be copied or reimplemented, except for
 reviews, without the consent of the authors and the publishers.

And thus the question below:


 how does that also apply to questions based on the same
 theories/circuit diagrams during examinations wherein only small bits
 are obfuscated ?

 So here's the what if bit ? What if you do ?

 Or, simply put the fun back into engineering.

I get that bit perfectly. What is worrisome is what are the consequences
if you decide to ignore the All Rights Reserved bit and just do it ?
How does this affect (re)doing examples that compile cleanly in TurboC
for FOSS bits ?

Umm... do you want to re-implement the examples in the book so that they

 Dear Mr. Singh,
 we would like to make some clarifications on what you
 pointed out. BOSS is not intended to be distibuted behind closed doors.
 Though it was intended mainly for the Government and Educational
 domains, it has already been distributed free of charge to a number of
 colleges and other institutions. 

Excellent news Tushar but from your mail it also does get conveyed that
it was meant as a Government and Educational distribution and one of the
USPs (if I may use that term) is L10n. So, are all these additions that
BOSS makes being pushed upstream viz to GNOME, SCIM/m17n etc ?

Given that BOSS was targeted at Government and Education is there a
roadmap to create hardware test suites for certifying and validating
hardware ? Are there plans to create an ISV environment around the
distribution ? What are the projected release cycles for BOSS ? Is there
a roadmap I can track ?

I notice that BOSS is being tested against LSB test batteries - is there
a particular reason why this is being done ?

Can BOSS derivatives be created ? Will the source code be made available
online or need I ask for it ? How can I (re)use BOSS for a custom spin ?

 If you think you could contribute in some way to BOSS, please let us
 know what your strengths are. You could add your enhancements to BOSS
 and if found worthwhile we could always bundle them in our next version.

So, there's no method for me to contribute directly into a public SCM
for BOSS ?

Lastly, I don't think Karanbir meant distribution behind closed doors
- - what he did point out was development behind a non-transparent
process. It would be great if BOSS's plans for a community building
effort were discussed in detail.

I have been reading this thread and as of right now - why don't we just
let it go ? Much as we try the event is past us and cannot be reverted
and any amount of mailing would not really succeed in getting across why
MSFT presence at a Linux event is not in sync. If MSFT did
support/sponsor/contribute to any (F)OSS projects they might as well be
at foss.in (where they have been traditionally absent). The LFY
organisers saw merit in talking about Interoperability and thus getting
MSFT although by that same token one should have also got IBM's AIX team
and Apple's team (or whatever is left of it in Bangalore). The FOSS
community does not see any merit in that thread of logic or argument.

Let's leave the hoary discussion aside and move on as to how and what to
do in future event where this is going to happen again and again.

Raj being a true pain-in-the-posterior keeps poking me on #linux-india
on this. The reply to his mail was long overdue so here are some scribbles.

A mentor is a coach/guide thus the notion would be to provide guidance
on how to contribute to Free/Open Source stuff. I might be way wrong
here so read on and bear with me...

The mentorship initiative should include (but not be limited to):

o A hands-on project that allows for explicit contribution to Open
Source development. This includes submission of work/content into
upstream CVS
o Guidance on submission process
o Introduction to Project Development Lifecycle
o Introduction to Project Packaging
o Guidance on tools and toolkits to use while conceptualising projects
o Mailing Lists
o IRC channels
o Project Repositories
o Project Hosting details
o QA Tests and QA TestScripts
o Bug Triaging Tips
o Patch writing and Patch creation
o Packaging and Package Management (for various Package Managers)
o Providing inputs on how to produce FOSS software
o Enhancing existing software
o Making Feature Requests
o Tracking Feature Requests
o Providing an insight into the various means and tools used in FOSS
development
o Enabling interaction with developer community (both in India and abroad)

Thus, the introductory CD could contain:

o A selection of writings from FSF and OSI that capture the philosophy
and the *ism of the movement
o Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution (1st edition)
o Producing Open Source Software : Karl Fogel
o CVS Manual
o Subversion Manual
o Linux Command Reference (command based guide for those who are coming
in new)

Flames welcome :)

If possible do consider a web based format to allow for:

o transparency
o archival of data
o searching of data
o citation

 - Plan for 2-3 hour tutorials for members of approved projects -- free

  Rumors that Google plans to encroach on the desktop turf of Microsoft
 flittered around the Internet on Tuesday.
  Apparently, the chatter sprang from a Jan. 20 Financial Times story,
 which reported that Google was working on switching its in-house
 computers over to the Linux operating system. According to the story,
 Google is developing its own version of Ubuntu, the software suite
 developed by tech entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth.

'We utilize the Ubuntu technology for internal use, but have no plans
to distribute it outside of the company,' the spokeswoman said. She also
denied the company was using the name 'Goobunto' internally for the
software, saying, 'It's just an internal system...'

Depends on which video file type you intend to play, please explore the
