Manish’s Scribble Board

Dont have much to say, after all its a scribble board! Me leaving for Hyderabad today 27th May for the Internship which starts next week, 2nd of June. I will be reaching there on 29th morning at Secundrabad which is quite near to my destination.

My journey has a break at Bangalore, means I will be boarding bus to Bangalore which reaches at morning tomorrow and then again train from B’lore to Hyderabad. Train (Rajdhani Exp. ) departs B’lore at 8PM and reaches its stop at 7 morning next day. The people to Microsoft will arrange for 15 days of accommodation at their guest house after which we have to arrange for ourselves.

I have fixed my laptop completely from all the problems except that the partition’s (sda9) file system (jfs) on which I installed “Hardy Stable” is giving a lot of problems. I hint some problems with the file system itself. The XSever hangs and I have no other option other than a hard-reboot. Next time, the Xserver fails to start and drops me to shell. Problem doesnt end here, whatever I try to do is blocked since / is mounted read-only.

P.S: Exams finished yesterday, nothing left to comment as it was completely messed up. Lab grades out, am satisfied except below expectation in one of the three.

Finally I received my Shipit CD of Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, am running a Beta version of this OS presently and the only word which I can say is that “It Rocks”!! This is the first time Bluetooth is working out of the box without any configurations, no Wireless Network Detection still

The Gnome 2.22 version is quite satisfying as first time I got a thumbnail preview while selecting files.
I hope to install the final stable release sooner I get time, I even hope to install Fedora 9 in the other partition to replace Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty which is running horribly after I had played a lot and experimented. I think I first need to reinstall my windows system before trying out with these two.
We have our second paper on Monday- Financial Management, say Best of Luck to me, I need it badly.
