Dear Mr. Goorah;
With lots of thanks for helping me and keeping me move ahead with problems ,
your ideas were great. I made an attempt for yum update (in which there were
missing discrepencies previously) this Sunday morning and it did give an
update of 144MB which solved my problem of not being able to reach NTFS
drives.I did not clean all.
Should I therefore keep update processes running in future? I would also
like to be any help I could do for this society, although I am not an linux
literate, or programmer.
Thanking You
ANIRUDDHA BANERJEE

Dear Sir;
Thanking you for your kind suggestions I would like to add that I had tried
your idea of setting a new user with the same results.
Moreover I had tried to login irc forum but neither Mozilla nor konquerer
could connect and reflecting format not supported. I even noted that
kpackage is bringing in any new updates. Could you please suggest some other
course of action . As I not started anything yet I can go back to default
settings if there is any command.I tried an update but it failed says
kpackage has missing dependencies. Please help as I am eager to work in fel
environment.
Thanks in advance

Hello Aniruddha,
I have looked at the fedora-users-mailing list and no one are
complaining about the issues you are having. I'll recommend you to
accept the updates nevertheless as they fix numerous items on fedora.
Can you create another user on your fedora, and try to login under
that user. Afterwards, try to see whether you are having the same
issues or not.
If you want live support, I'll recommend you to join the channel
#fedora on irc.freenode.net. People on that channel will help you
troubleshoot it live with you.
Kind regards,
Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] comments: EDA Rescue Plan
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello Clive Maxfield,
I have just read your post [1] "EDA Rescue Plan", which got my
attention. However, like you I was more interested on what are the EDA
tools Blue Pearl are proposing.
Since you mentioned that you are constantly being surprised to
discover established EDA vendors, let me introduce you to "Fedora
Electronic Lab". [2]
Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL), being a subset of the Fedora Project,
strives to give users the best experience with opensource EDA tools.
Each 6 months, the Fedora Project releases a new version of our Linux
distribution "Fedora", together with a special LiveDVD dedicated for
electronics. This LiveDVD available for free is intended to serve as
an electronic simulation platform, on which users can work on their
ASIC design, embedded design,.. . While Fedora is engineered by Red
Hat Inc. (the leader in Entreprise Linux) together with the community,
our users benefit freely the cutting-edge technologies Red Hat is
working on their RHEL 6. Our latest statistics proved that Fedora has
more than 9.5 million users around the world and FEL has at least 1%
of the user share.
We (as non-profit community members) packaged opensource tools and
work with their developers to ensure interoperability between our
tools and that our users can deploy quickly and efficiently with our
mature RPM/YUM deployment mechanism. In a matter of fact, we also
provide marketing facilities as much as I can for those developers.
(This email is an example). The developers of FEL's tools are working
hard to keep their applications up-to-date with such a technological
race in the EDA world. We don't claim to be in competition with
Synopsys or Cadence, however we follow them closely and see how we can
satisfy the needs of our users (end-users, students, lecturers, ..)
Not only we provide EDA tools for free, but also a Linux Operating
system which is the upstream of Red Hat Entreprise Linux. While mostly
all ASIC design centers run RHEL for their Cadence and Synopsys tools,
we believe our users will enjoy the same professional experience while
designing their chips or embedded code on Fedora Electronic Lab.
I would appreciate if you could spare some time writing a post about
Fedora Electronic Lab. Since we are a non-profit organization, your
readers would be interested in our EDA solutions whether the latter
suits their personal use or deployment in an academic institutions.
I welcome you to visit FEL's website at [2] and if there are any way
we can assist you please let me know.

Dear All;
I had installed FEL in my hard drive and was able to do things till 6th
December Sunday. After I took the updates on 6th morning I am not being able
to mount the other partitions in my computer, neither from dolphin or from
terminal mount process. The other drives are formatted in NTFS and was able
to see and work on them before.
If I open the drives forcefully from laching files option under multimedia I
can open the drives in dolphin but my sound card is not responding.
Please help . I didn't take yesterdays update.
As I am new in linux I would prefer a step by step discussion of the
process, of hoe can I do it.
Thanks in advance.

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] HC(s)12 Microcontrollers
by Brennan Ashton
Hi,
I would be interested in helping get support for the Freescale HC(s)12
microcontroller support into Fedora. As part of this I see packaging
the gcc cross compiler (which I have done non officially), packaging
some of the programmer tools, doing some worth with Eclipse so you can
create a hcs12 project, and possibly doing some work with gdb support.
Is there interest in this? There is a fare amount of work that needs
to be done to make this happen, and help would be appreciated.

Hello Lionel,
Every FEL packages in the Livedvd are available on Fedora-10. If you
have F-10, there is no need to download the livedvd.
I would appreciate if you could install:
- netgen
- magic-doc
- xcircuit
- irsim
- gnucap
- toped
- ngspice
- alliance
- gtkwave
- ghdl
- freehdl
- qucs
- octave-forge
- qtoctave
Then have a look at their respective /usr/share/doc
Then try to run the examples.
It would be nice to run "rpmlint" again for each.
I would appreciate if you could tabulate all your difficulties or
findings in the following table:
Application | Version | Documentation defects | Examples defects |
Other comments.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another idea would be having a look at opensuse, ubuntu and debian
bugzilla/launchpad to see if they have open bugs about the above
tools. Then point out if our fedora packages are subjected to those
bugs. Unfortunately, these distributions don't send their patches to
upstream.
Once you are done, I'll contact every upstream to inform them about
some eventual changes that need to be done.
Cheers,
Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] FEL needs your help
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello Fedora Marketing,
As you are all already familiar with FEL, I'll skip the introduction.
For F-10 FEL development, Aanjhaan and Thibault joined me to maintain
FEL, but now they are both very busy. I have many plans and many
features for F-11 FEL, but alone (with very little time) I would have
to reduce my participation as an ambassador, mentor, package reviewer
and support for other opensource communities.
I am going to meet (on my own expenses) :
* some automotive engineers next weekend to see how Fedora can propose
a portfolio "electronic design" for the automotive industry. (e.g.
doing measurements: roll, pitch, yaw ...)
* some XMOS designers to see how existing opensource tools can embrace
XMOS support (sometimes in January).
As you can see, I'm looking forward to elevate Fedora status for
professional production purposes. If I succeed, I assume that there
will many companies, educational institutions and end-users who will
be deploying more than 5 Fedora installations at ONE time. This is my
fedora marketing strategy. If I have time EPEL repository can also
benefit from this, thereby CentOS/RHEL users will also be happy.
I would appreciate if ambassadors could contact their local
universities (Electronic department, to be precised), and inform them
about Fedora's investment in the electronic design community.
http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/10/fel-flyer-f10.pdf
You will find FEL todo list here (which will be updated with time):
http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/devel/FEL_devel_timeline.html
So if you think someone could help with Fedora electronic portfolio,
please do introduce him/her to FEL's mailing list.
I have also another objective: to bring various upstream closer and
try to encourage them not to re-invent the wheel but focus on
providing industry-class solutions for the opensource community. Of
course, fedora will benefit from it first.
If time allows, I'll also engage myself (as I promised to Tom
Callaway) with some upstream developers to open their software into a
GPL-compatible license. So if you know someone with legal skills,
please welcome him/her to join the Fedora family.
If you know a local blogger about electronics, please propose them to
write a blog post about "Fedora and its electronic portfolio".
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
Kind regards,
Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] an IDE for hardware design ?
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
I have been thinking about what could ease designers' frustrations on
getting a good IDE for digital hardware design.
Personally, I do everything with kate, but I have seen a growing
number of eclipse deployment by various design centres.
In search to make FEL:
- more professional
- more easily usable by users,
I think it is time to think about some IDE possibilities for FEL.
What are your thoughts about it ? any plugin, tool you might recommend ?
Currently, I'm looking forward to eclipse + some plugins(that need to
be packaged)
Let's do some brain storming !
Chitlesh.
