No sound in Fedora 14

Today, I after my return from hibernation in Fedora 14. I was amused to see that the no sound was coming out my laptop. I checked my Sound Preferences and changed the Output device but it did not help. I rebooted my system twice but failed to retrieve sound. At last after searching google, I came across a thread in linuxquestions.org where I came across alsamixer.So I tried out alsamixer in the terminal and select the Sound Device using F6, I found that the sound of the speaker was somehow muted. So, I reset the value to full and got my laptop speakers sound.
In alsamixer, Press m to toggle, Press up/down to increase/decrease volume.

Experiencing Gnome 3

At last I got my pen drive and the first thing I tried out was Gnome 3 Live USB Stick and it was splendid. A main transformation was the design of GNOME 3, and as a result it was an all new Gnome experience!

In this article you will get to know how to create a Gnome 3 Live USB Stick.

1. Download the Live Images of Gnome 3 from gnome.org of your choice.

2. Now, download the tarball package of the USB Writer Image and extract it’s contents to a folder.

3. Now navigate to the extracted folder.

4. Prepare the image writer by running this command in a terminal:
$ chmod a+x ./image-usb-stick

5. Now insert the USB storage device you want to make it a Live USB device.

6. Run the image writer script from a terminal:
$sudo ./image-usb-stick path_to_the_live_image.iso

7. Now reboot your system with your USB stick attached.

Enjoy Gnome 3

coding for wordgroupz

It has been a quite long time I have blogged .For the last few days I have been studying the code for wordgroupz.It is written using python and pygtk by Ratnadeep Debnath. I wrote a patch on dictionary lookup feature where the user can directly see the meaning of English word in the Wordnet Dictionary and then add the word to database if needed.

I have submitted it to the upstream and waiting for rtnpro to accept it.
Patch Accepted.:)
