in Fedora, openzilla, Python Tags: glade signal, gtk signal. openzilla
Hi,
Today when I was looking into the code of the openzilla it was looking too long for me.
I was thinking how i have make this all together code? I am planning to separate the code by their functionality.
Today I have done this for the window which is doing new bug posting thing. Written that part of the code in a file called new_bug.py . Updated the bug posting functionality with some bug fixes.
One problem I am facing today is I want to disconnect some of the gtk signals with the source code. I was doing this by opening the glade file and deactivating signal associated with the item I wanted to.
But for some signals I could not find where is the item connected to it. Suppose, one call back
on_cancel_clicked()
some operation on it
I want to write the call backs manually and connect them manually.
self.cancel_btn = self.builder.get_object(“cancel”)
self.cancel_btn.connect(‘clicked’,self.on_cancel_clicked)
So i want to deactivate the signal created by glade file,but I am unable to find out the signal, so forcefully I had to write the call backs which i did not want.I want some method in the glade designer which will search for some signal connected to some item. search for some item is possible now but search for some signal is not possible(AFAK).
I am looking for solution to this problem and will update on getting this. trying to get openzilla up

Hi,
Development of openzilla got paused, since few days I am thinking to continue the development of openzilla once again. After college completed joined the companies and got busy with work. Everyday I think about the open source contribution, but could not make my time for it.
Now I have got a little time to work with open source again, so finally resuming openzilla development. Few days back I installed the openzilla, but it is not working properly. I found there is some problem with the pybugz ( a dependency of openzilla and python interface for bugzilla systems).
I am presently working for the solution of this problem. I think I will solve it quickly
One more thing is going on in my mind since few days back I am looking into the transifex and thinking to contribute in this project.
this is all about my present days, and its a nice feeling to be back with the open source.
thanks!
Installing all packages of Fedora 13 from ISO

I got a netbook without DVD drive. For installing Fedora 13 in my box, I installed the fedora 13 live from a USB device, which was created by liveusb-creator. So I did not get the packages from that live usb. After that I got a fedora13 iso. from there installed all the packages by-default available in the dvd. For that purpose I followed the following steps:
first mount the iso in some where in the file system (I mounted to /mnt) by
$su -
passwd:
#mount -o loop /path/to/Fedora13.iso /mnt/
then copy the media repo to the yum.repos.d/ folder by
#cp /mnt/media.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
then edit the base url of the media.repo to the current the url where the iso is mounted
#gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/media.repo
add one line to the media.repo
baseurl = file:///mnt
Change the directory to the Package
#cd /mnt/Package/
now install the packages you need from the DVD by just doing
#yum install –disablerepo=* –enablerepo=InstallMedia packagename
in my case I installed all the packages by doing
#yum install –disablerepo=* –enablerepo=InstallMedia *
#
then unmount the iso
#umount /mnt
for reference I took the help of $man mount and $man yum
have a try
Fedora 13 in Dell mini

I installed the fedora 13 in my Dell mini. I got Windows XP service pack 3 with my Dell inspiron mini. It is ok but running a bit slow that’s because of the low speed of intel atom processor and a lot of development aplication environments which were given with it. Lately i had installed Moblin in it. It was cool in look and was working fine. But the main problem there was I can not see more then one window at a time there, means if I want to see one window while working on another window then it was a bad option. Currently I installed Fedora 13 in it. It working fine in it. More over it is faster than the Windows which was running on it.
But one problem I got with it is the windows of some aplications are partly visible. the lower portion of the windows are not visible. And because of that if there is any button or some thing like that I can not press it. Though till now it has not made any problem but it has become a problem for me.
Here is one of the screen shots the problem which I am facing:
I think this is because of the applet size has been kept fixed even though change in screen size.
