Somehow I figured out the way to newly install windows XP home edition along with ubuntu.

Problematic scenario
------------------------------------
Had ubuntu intrepid along with winXp but at the time of newly installing windows screen went blank at "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration" and there was no response atall besides that the "press any key to boot from cd...." never use to come.. क्या हो रहा है

fdisk -l (o/p)

/dev/sda1 1 1147 fat32
/dev/sda2 1148 14593 Ext
/dev/sda5 2295 2306 linux
/dev/sda6 2307 8385 linux
/dev/sda7 8386 8871 swap
/dev/sda8 8872 14593 linux
/dev/sda9 1147 2294 fat32

Solved:- जैसे मन में आया
-----------------------------------
Using ubuntu live CD deleted the Win partition and newly installed ubuntu keeping the home partion intact (since intrepid was giving me some trouble related to network - static/dynamic). Now I was able to get over the problem and was able to create partitions using win partitioner, but at the time of instation it would again enter into the "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration" and would start again॥ soo i did the the ubuntu installation again which got the windows entry in the bootloader and selected the wind option now enter the win boot cd and continue with the installation.. Remember to remove the win boot cd at the time of restarting..

कारन :- I am not even able to fix the MBR using windows cd.. I ll post some images related to this event

Independence

जिंदगी मे एसे पल भी आते है जब की ऐ अहेसास होता है की मुस्किल से मुस्किल सफर भी ताई करना हमारे बस मे ही है


I like to do things that i can be in ctrol of, let it be life or my interest. It doesn't mean that I like to play boss over anything or anybody rather it's all about the freedom with which I can carry out the task and I know that freedom has it's own setbacks like how much of freedom is freedom or does freedom comes with a set of rules if so how can that be freedom. Hmmm
अरे यार!!! जिसको जो समजना है वो समझे हमरा क्या जथा है

SNR and Attenuation - BSNL dataone BB connection

The frequent disconnection is really pissing me off.. troubleshooting
Look out for the snr/atten values, from that one can get a clear cut idea of what's up with the n/w

linux world.. cute little humungous world

World has enough for all. What matters is in which part you would like to be, needy or greedy.

linux-0.11 - for a starter

Qt-4.4.3 installation from src - Jujubuji

There was a time when installation from rpm was a trend then came aptitude and apt-get. Well here the src is compiled to get a workable Qt env.
I have tried to get rid of most err during compilation

make confclean
configure -v
./configure -xshape

firebird2.0-dev --- for InterBase
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgds

What used to be libgds is now called libfbclient.
ln -s /usr/lib/libfbclient.so.2.1.0 /usr/lib/libgds.so

libmysql++-dev
libxcursor-dev
libxrandr-dev
libdbus-1-dev
freeglut3-dev ---- openGL
libcups2-dev - remember there are dependent lib
libfontconfig1-dev
libxinerama-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
unixodbc-dev
libpq-dev
libpqxx-dev

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxslt
libxslt1-dev
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpam

after getting rid of all the cann't find libs I got the following o/p
