Fedora 15 doesn't boot
by Navdeep Singh Sidhu 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

Dear Rahul, Thanks for help. As you have told me, i tried to boot at run level 3. But the same problem lies here. My display doesn't respond. But i think fedora boots fine in the background. May be fedora 15 doesn't support to my Laptops Hardware. I have installed on my system via live usb but not on my laptop, by using another laptop. First I created a live usb of Fedora 15 using Unetbootin. then i tried to boot from it on my laptop. But shows an error > - Dropping to debug shell. > sh: can't access tty: job control turned off > dracut:/# > as i had told you earlier. then i tried to boot the live usb on another laptop that is HP pavilion dv 2700 with -Intel Core 2 duo processor 1.8GHz -2gb ram -256Mb nividia geforce 8600 m graphics card. -160 gb hardisk fedora 15 live usb boots well on that system without any error and GNOME3 also supports it's hardware. then i attached my portable hardisk to that system and started the installation process. During the installation process i formatted my fedora 14 partition & install fedora 15 to it. Then i installed another Linux distro backtrack5 to my portable hardisk on another partition by replacing Ubuntu 10.10. Both these distro works fine on HP laptop but not on my dell. fedora 15 doesn't show any screen after booting but Backtrack5 works correctly. there is no problem with GRUB or any installation. I think it doesn't support my laptop's hardware. So is there any way to sort out this problem? ThanX again? Regards Navdeep Singh

Reply regarding Linux Cup (Competition)

Dear Prabin, I had recently read your mail. I would like to inform you that I'm a Student Of GNDU, Amritsar. I had recently started a group at my University Under Technical Student Society (TSS). The name of the group is Linux Group GNDU. In our Group we spread awareness regarding Linux & other open source software's. We organize Group discussions, classes, seminars & workshops on Linux. In next few months we are planning to organize a mega event on Linux in our campus. But we have some problems like we have no sponsor for this event until now. Second one is that we all are not experts in the Field of Linux. But our team is capable of organizing any big event. So we have positive views regarding your question. If you could provide any help technically or regarding sponsorships we can organize this kind of competitions in India at National Level or at International Level. If you have other suggestions for us, feel free & kindly send us your valuable knowledge & suggestions. I personally appreciate your thinking . Regards Navdeep Singh Co-ordinator, The Linux Research Group <http://www.linuxgndu.webs.com/>, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar India

Competitions in Fedora
by PRABIN DATTA 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Why we never organise any competition like Aspiration (by Infosys), Image Cup (by Microsoft), etc for Fedora. (I have never heard) Is it not possible to organise one in India with: 1. 1st Prize 7000/- 2. 2nd Prize 6000/- 3. 3rd Price 5000/- It can be a Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) exam or Software Development. Thanks! Have a nice day! -- by Prabin Kumar Datta prabindatta(a)fedoraproject.org prabindatta(a)vgvsngo.org IRC: prabindatta gtalk: prabindatta GPG key: ======================================================== pub 2048R/1E0CFA36 2010-11-06 uid PRABIN KUMAR DATTA <linux.n.pkd(a)gmail.com> sub 2048R/AF311EF8 2010-11-06 ========================================================

It would be great to get an update on this, so as to enable me to re-create a spin with the updated kickstart file. My re-formatted patch is ready and I used 'xsltproc' to check the XML file and sort them within groups. (The current version lives at: https://bitbucket.org/amitksaha/custom_linux/src/c94686fe43fe/comps-f16.xml…) Many thanks in advance. -Amit -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog>

Important: FUDCon APAC bidding has started
by Rahul Sundaram 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Hi http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fudcon-planning/2011-June/002391.h… I have replied with the proposal detailed at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:India_2011 I am considering venues in Pune primarily at this point since no alternative places have been proposed with ownership yet but if you have a compelling offer, feel free to pitch in. We are working on securing the dates somewhere in November soon. As the timing of writing, we have a proposal of 30 talks and 11 hackfests with owners and 45 people in the pre-registration list. While FUDCon is always open and free to anyone, we are going to have to pick a swag cut off point at 120 or 150 attendees. So register yourself soon. While the FUDCon page is open for everyone to edit, all speakers must have a Fedora account and a user page in the wiki since I need to be able to contact you to schedule things. This is also highly recommended for those registering themselves as attending the event. Creating a Fedora account and user page will just take a few minutes and is mostly a click through process. I recommend anyone attending or organizing the event to subscribe themselves to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning Since FUDCon will have international participation, we are going to rely on this global mailing list and the tracker at https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ for planning. All sponsorship requests will go into this tracker and NOT the Fedora India one. We will also be organizing IRC meetings regularly at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#fudcon-planning. I would like to schedule a IRC meeting tomorrow at 5 PM IST. For those volunteering to help with the event, thank you and please read through the info at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_organization https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_organization_process We are on the lookout for co-sponsors for this event. Sponsors will be donating in kind (lunch, goodies, bandwidth etc) and not cash directly. Having a additional budget will help us bring more community members to the event among other things. If you have any contacts in place and can talk to marketing folks in any organization and need more details, let me know offlist. Rough budget estimates are already provided in the wiki. Do let me know if you have any questions or any of the above. Thanks Rahul
