Everyone makes mistakes… It’s nothing to be ashamed of Don’t let this mistake go to waste Be able to smile as you walk Yes, I breathe in the quiet air, And raise my face toward the sky and jump in If it rains, I’ll take a break And let the wind decide where I go I carry along many regrets But letting these wounds go to waste is stupid...
Just now … I wrote my first ever blueZ code, a simple one though, that too, from an online tutorial at http://people.csail.mit.edu/albert/bluez-intro/c404.html Its a nice tutorial for newbies like me to get started with blueZ. First of all, I needed to setup my blueZ development environment. Since I use Fedora 10, I did the following yum install -y bluez-libs bluez-libs-devel libgdbus libgdbus-devel Also, one can manually install it from the source packages available at...
I am using Fedora 10 and I was running the kernel 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686 and I was happy until I did a ‘yum update’. My kernel got updated to kernel 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686, and then the system won’t boot the latest kernel. While booting it gave a mesage : Unable to access resume device (/dev/dm-1) mount : could not find filesystem ‘/dev/root’ I wondered what had happened? But, the old kernel 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686 seemed to work perfectly....

It was on 21 February 2009, that there was a Fedora Activity Day and an Install Fest in Kalyani Govt. Engg. College, Kalyani. It was one of its kind with students craving to register for it.

There were around 140 students in the seminar hall....

Yesterday, on 2nd January, 2009, I finally installed Fedora in my Dell XPS M1530. The installation went fine and it was great to see a new glossy installation screen. After the installation, Plimouth is also working fine, but I had to add a kernel option for that— vga=0x318 The graphics was ok , but not perfect without the Nvidia drivers. Then I set rpmfusion.org enabled on my system and downloaded the Nvidia drivers from there....
To find the PCI ID of a particular device use the lspci command. depending on the version and usage of the lspci command various output is shown. In Fedora, I use the following to identify the PCI ID (Note: the grep is added to filter the output): $ /sbin/lspci -nn | grep ‘VGA|NV’ 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] [10de:0322] (rev a1) Use the PCI ID and look it up under Appendix A....
We were facing a lot of difficulties in setting up Fedora after the installation. Reason? Poor internet connection in the locality. It was a great dissatisfaction for me and Kishan (my friend) and also for the newbies. To resolve this, Arindam Ghosh gave me a copy of “Fedora-mirror” and taught me the How-Tos to setup an offline Fedora-mirror and do the requisite installations. It was really a needed gift for us....
Exams ended, and today in the morning I was heading as fast as I can towards my Mess to get my hands on the Fedora 10 DVD. Also I had to fix some issues regarding another Fedora 10 installation in my friend’s notebook, which is a Compaq Presario with Nvidia graphics card. The thing that I found there was that his X-server was not running. I tried to peek into the xorg....
