We have planned to Invite someone form the Fedora Commitee to come aswell. Regarding the accomodation for the commitee members, we will take care. We just need you guys to come to our college and share your valuable Experience with us. This way, we would like to promote fedora at our college and aswell get freshers knowing the power of open source. The procedure and dates are not yet decided but the expected days are around the last week of August (mostly Saturday). We will continu the thread with other updates. The Event will be conducted in VIT (Vellore Institute of Technology) at Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. Expecting people from Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad areas, as they are near by.

Aug 10 19:07:55 <generalBordeaux> kushal, after watching your podcast on tab completion .. i posted that in #yum and James Antill suggested me to use ipython ... it has a lot of extra features ... Aug 10 19:08:00 <abby87> kushal: ok Aug 10 19:08:05 <mether> franciscod: yes or post them over to the wiki and drop me a link Aug 10 19:08:12 <franciscod> mether, okay. Aug 10 19:08:51 <kushal> generalBordeaux, yes, but it is not actual cpython :) Aug 10 19:09:13 <kushal> generalBordeaux, I love to point newbies to cpython Aug 10 19:09:22 <kushal> later they can use whatever they want :) Aug 10 19:10:44 <generalBordeaux> kushal, sounds good for noobs ... Aug 10 19:10:49 <mether> one question for everyone: should we move the meetings over to #fedora-india Aug 10 19:11:00 <mether> ugh Aug 10 19:11:03 <mether> #fedora-meeting channel Aug 10 19:11:18 <kushal> I feel this room more comfortable Aug 10 19:11:34 <generalBordeaux> +1 for #fedora-india Aug 10 19:11:34 <mether> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/FedoraMeetingChannel Aug 10 19:11:46 <abby87> this one is good but a separate channel for meetings wud be better Aug 10 19:12:02 <generalBordeaux> mether, unless you have specific plans Aug 10 19:12:19 <abby87> +1 for #fedora-meeting Aug 10 19:12:31 <mether> the general idea for fedora meeting channel is that everyone can just auto-login to the channel and participate when they want to Aug 10 19:12:54 <mether> The only requirement is that we dont conflict with a existing meeting on timings and we use the above wiki page to coordinate on that Aug 10 19:13:26 <mether> I think are also running a bot on the channel for logging meetings Aug 10 19:13:59 <mether> its not a big deal. Just a thought Aug 10 19:14:44 <mether> I will post to the list and we can discuss this over there. I will end the meeting now unless anybody else had additional comments Aug 10 19:15:17 <mj0vy> mether, do we need to move to #fedora-meeting now? Aug 10 19:15:29 <mether> nope. we havent decided yet Aug 10 19:15:43 <abby87> do a vote Aug 10 19:15:59 <mether> in the list, yes Aug 10 19:16:07 <abby87> put up a poll on fedora wiki ... Aug 10 19:16:15 <mj0vy> it it gets a wider audience, i think we can mve! Aug 10 19:16:18 <mether> wiki doesnt have polling features Aug 10 19:16:23 <abby87> so that ppl can decide and vote at their own convenience Aug 10 19:16:28 <abby87> ohh Aug 10 19:16:41 <mether> I will post to the list and everyone can reply. That would be all Aug 10 19:16:48 <kushal> mj0vy, do we require wider than India for India meetings (just a question) Aug 10 19:17:43 <mether> --- END MEETING --- ------------ Kushal -- Fedora Ambassador, India http://kushaldas.in http://dgplug.org (Linux User Group of Durgapur)

How do I debug what's causing this ?
by sankarshan 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Using KDE4.0 on F9 updated to all recent fixes, I get the following: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 4645 error_code 8 request_code 20 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
