Kettu is the new web interface for transmission bit torrent client. It is written using javascript and jquery. I wrote a small patch for kettu to filter the torrents on the basis of activity. Here activity means if the torrent is either uploading or downloading, i.e, upload_speed + download_speed > 0 KBps. Here’ s the patch I wrote : diff –git a/index.html b/index.html index 2a8ff97..b54b6b4 100644 — a/index.html +++ b/index.html...
Today we’ll be discussing a basic c code, the famous hello.c, which will be loaded as a kernel module and discuss some of the basic aspects related to it. #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/module.h> MODULE_LICENSE (“GPL”); // included in module.h, tells about the license the code is having. static int __init hello_init (void) { printk (KERN_ALERT “Hello, worldn”); return 0; } static void __exit hello_exit (void) { printk (KERN_ALERT “Goodbyen”); }...
I’ll be honest, I am neither a kernel hacker nor a device driver writer, but I want to be one. I am studying the Linux Device Drivers 3, the LDD 3. It is an effort from my end to document what I have understood from reading the LDD 3. There might be some errors or misinterpretation on my part and I will be glad if anyone corrects me. I will be trying to keep the things as correct as possible....
We ( me, Bama and Subhrodeep) left for Ganga Sagar Mela from ISKCON, Mayapur along with ISKCON devotees on the Monday morning of Jan 11, 2010. We had lots of fun in the bus.

Yesterday, I finally completed downloading the Fedora 12 i686 DVD iso. I then tried to install Fedora 12 from iso, as I did when I installed Fedora 11 from its ISO image. But this time, when it came to customizing the packages, it was asking for a network connection to get the softwares from the online repositories ( when no Install Disc was inserted) and when I kept the F11 DVD inserted in my laptop, it took the package list from the F11 DVD....
Saturday, 31 October, 2009 I set up an offline Fedora 11 mirror in BCREC. I used the fedx makefile for the purpose of syncing the repository from my pocket HDD to the mirror PC ( an HP dual core system with Fedora 10 installed in it). I then setup a dhcpd server in the machine with the help of gdhcpd. I wrote a how to use the service and put it on the Desktop....

I became desperate yesterday night to do some useful things, anything. Had a long offline Puja Holidays. I was struggling to understand “How to write Makefiles”, and yesterday it clicked and I ended up writing a Makefile for the ongoing fedX project. Though the makefile which I wrote is not that great, but I have a start now. Committed the changes to the fedX repository at http://gitorious.org/~rtnpro/fedx/rtnpros-fedx-clone/ It was around 4:00 AM in the morning already....
