The Danesh Project

Welcoming the new author Raja

Raja, my buddy for the past 6 years is now part of The Danesh Project. We started off working in the same company for about 4 years and now have moved on to different places but our passion or Linux,open-source and beer keeps the friendship going.

Raja is new to the the blogging arena so I thought this would be a good place for him to get started. He will primarily be posting about Linux, open-source, IT news and occasionally some local news from Malaysia.

Raja’s first post : Fedora 8 Officially Released

Welcome Raja

Fedora 8 Officially Released

My favourite distro, Fedora has been officially released on the 8th of November.

Ars Technica has a rundown on whats new with it. Being a firm believer of clean installs, its time for me to ‘prepare’ my machine for this upgrade.

Considering its Sunday, I guess my switch will have to wait till next weekend

The Danesh Project is now PR4

Woo hoo!! The Danesh Project is now PR4.

Firefox 2.0.0.9 released

Firefox 2.0.0.9 was released today. 2.0.0.9 is a stability release to attention some bugs that surfaced after the recent security update 2.0.0.8. Fixes for this release as quoted from Mozilla below,

• Bug 400406 – Firefox will ignore the “clearâ€? CSS property when used beneath a box that is using the “floatâ€? property. There is a temporary workaround JS/CSS code available for web developers with affected layouts.
• Bug 400467 – Windows Vista users will get “Java not foundâ€? or “Java not workingâ€? errors when trying to load Java applets after updating. To fix this, users can right-click the Firefox icon and “Run as administratorâ€?, then browse to a page with a Java applet — doing this once will fix the problem and permanently restore Java functionality.
• Bug 396695 – Add-ons are disabled after updating. Users can fix this problem by opening their profile folder and removing three files (extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and extensions.cache)
• Bug 400421 – Removing a single area element from an image map will cause the entire map to disappear. There is no workaround available at this time.
• Bug 400735 – Some Windows users may experience crashes at startup. There is no workaround available at this time.

Firefox will automatically run the update tool and bring your Firefox up to the current version but if for some reason that does not work for you then get the latest release here.
