FUDCon Pune Banner
by Suchakra 09 Oct '11

09 Oct '11

Hi, Was a bit busy this month. A simple banner to be put up at 2 entrance gates of the college during conference days is at [1]. Its source is at [2] I'm thinking of putting up actual blue balloons on the upper two corners of the banner on the day of Conf :) Also, a web banner and button for web-publicity is underway (I need ideas for that too) [1] http://suchakra.fedorapeople.org/fudcon-designs/banner-gates.png [2] http://suchakra.fedorapeople.org/fudcon-designs/banner-gates.svg Suchakra

Re: [fedora-india] Autotools Problem
by Gautam Akiwate 30 Sep '11

Hi, It seems that the flex has a bug. ( and it still hasn't been corrected apparently as the version I run is 2.5.35) The following is the solution suggested in the bison info. /* Work around an incompatibility in flex (at least versions 2.5.31 through 2.5.33): it generates code that does not conform to C89. See Debian bug 333231 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=333231>. */ # undef yywrap # define yywrap() 1 But then why does this problem arise only when I use autotools. I never faced this problem while I was using a handmade Makefile? Regards Gautam

Aren't yyerror and yywrap inbuilt definitions? If they are why are we redefining them?

by Rahul Sundaram 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi http://ask.fedoraproject.org is a question and answer oriented forum for Fedora. It has been launched today to provide a community support portal for Fedora community and build a knowledge base in a organic way. You do not need to a separate id to post questions or answer them. You can use any openid to login including Google, Yahoo or Wordpress. You can use your Fedora identity as well (fasname.id.fedoraproject.org). The full launch will be in sync with the Fedora 16 release. I am announcing it early here to have some feedback and to feed in some relevant questions and answers. Thanks to everyone who helped out including PJP, Kevin Fenzi, Toshio Ernie Kuratomi, Matthias Runge, Praveen Kumar, Arun SAG, Ratnadeep Debnath, Lakshmi Narasimhan, and Jitesh Shah. Let me know if you have any questions. Rahul

Autotools Problem
by Gautam Akiwate 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hello, I was part of the FAD, Pune held on 24th Sept. Following this I tried to use autotools with a small code that I am working on. The issue is that it uses lex and yacc and I haven't been able to make it work. The present Makefile that I am using does the following: CC=cc LEXFLAG=-ll YACCFLAG=-ly appname=lp $(appname): y.tab.o lex.yy.o lp.o lp.h $(CC) -o $(appname) lex.yy.o y.tab.o lp.o $(LEXFLAG) $(YACCFLAG) y.tab.o: y.tab.c $(CC) -c y.tab.c $(YACCFLAG) lex.yy.o: lex.yy.c $(CC) -c lex.yy.c $(LEXFLAG) lex.yy.c: ie.l lex ie.l y.tab.c: ie_parser.y yacc -d ie_parser.y lp.o: lp.c $(CC) -c lp.c My configure.ac file reads as follows AC_INIT([language-parser],[1.0],gautam.akiwate(a)gmail.com) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(dist-bzip2) AM_MAINTAINER_MODE AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_INSTALL AC_PROG_YACC AM_PROG_LEX AC_OUTPUT([Makefile]) And the Makefile.am file has the following content AM_YFLAGS = -d BUILT_SOURCES = ie_parser.h bin_PROGRAMS = lparser lparser_SOURCES = ie.l ie_parser.y lp.h lp.c noinst_HEADERS = lp.h The following commands go through without error $aclocal $autoconf $automake -a -c $./configure But when I do a make it generates an error saying that it is unable to find yylwrap etc. Can somebody please help me with this? PS: Apologies for the long mail. Regards Gautam -- "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

[Event Report] Fedora Activity Day I @ Red Hat, Pune, India: September 24, 2011
by Shakthi Kannan 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

Hi, In preparation to FUDCon, Pune 2011 [1], we had organized a Fedora Activity Day (FAD) I [2] at Red Hat, Pune, India on Saturday, September 24, 2011. Rahul Sundaram started the proceedings with a session on how to contribute to Fedora [3], and how people can get involved with the community. I showed the various communication channels that people need to use to connect with the large Fedora community. We then proceeded to do a hands-on session on RPM packaging. We used the GNU Hello RPM packaging [4] example from the fedoraproject.org wiki. Rahul and I explained each section of the .spec file, and showed them how to use rpmbuild. The participants learnt to write the .spec file, and also built, installed, and tested the hello package. We then took a break for lunch following which I presented a hands-on session on git using the di-git-ally managing love letters [5] presentation. Siddhesh Poyarekar then took an introductory hands-on session on autotools [6]. All the presentations are available in the FAD wiki page [7]. Thanks to Red Hat for letting us use their facility, and for sponsoring the pizza! They were able to arrange for ten laptops with Fedora 15 installed for participants who didn't have laptops. Thanks also to Kashyap Chamarthy, Kushal Das, Siddhesh Poyarekar for their help to the participants during the workshop sessions. Few pictures that I took at the workshop are available [8].

SSH KeepAlive with Switched Networks
by Sawrub 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Is there a way to overcome this situation. Situation : I’m on a LAN [in office] connected to remote server over SSH [using gnome terminal], now I've to go over for a meeting on another floor along with my notebook. I switch on to mine office WLAN with a descent 90+ signal strength, Network manager shows both connections there as connected. I disconnect my LAN connection and now on WLAN when i try working on the server to which i was connected, the server is not responding to my keystrokes as if the connection broke and i have to make a new connection to the server in order to use it in a new tab. The old connection [the one over LAN ] breaks after some time, with a timeout message. Configuration tried out : I have the settings done for keeping SSH session alive by adding entry 'ServerAliveInterval 30' to '/etc/ssh/ssh_config', but that fails to work in my case. It only supports in case e.g. i connect to a server over LAN [ have both LAN and WLAN active ]. I break the LAN connection, now over WLAN the server does NOT shows any response to my keystrokes [let it be ENTER key]. I connect back to the LAN, and it works, also all of my previous key strokes are responded to. Any help will be great. OS : Fedora 14 OpenSSH_5.5p1, OpenSSL 1.0.0e-fips 6 Sep 2011 NetworkManager Applet 0.8.4
