GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project 0.8.0
GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test automation framework. more>>
GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project (GNU/LDTP) is aimed at producing high quality test automation framework and cutting-edge tools that can be used to test GNU/Linux Desktop and improve it.
GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project uses the "Accessibility" libraries to poke through the applications user interface. The framework has tools to generate "AppMap" by reading through the user interface components of an application. The framework also has tools to record test-cases based on user-selection on the application.
GNU/LDTP core framework uses "AppMap" and the recorded "test-cases" to test an application and gives the status of each test-case as output.
As of now, GNU/LDTP can test any GNOME application which are accessibility enabled, Mozilla, OpenOffice.org, any Java application (should have a UI based on swing) and KDE 4.0 applications based on QT 4.0 (based on the press releases by KDE).
We encourage you to join the project and help us to create robust, reliable and stable test tool/framework for Linux Desktops.
Main features:
- LDTP concepts are derived from Software Automation Framework Support
- LDTP supports verification of actions performed (GuiExist, VerifyState, etc) - API Reference
- Writing test scripts are very easy, the script writer need not know about the object hierarchy
- CPU / Memory performance monitoring of application-under-test can be measured - Class pstats
- From the XML log, we can gather HTML report using XSLT
- Group based execution, which provides precise control on the flow of test-script execution - Gldap XML
- Scripts can be written as a reusable component and for that the datas can be stored / retrieved in XML - Data XML
- User-friendly Text Editor with syntax highlighting for generating and grouping test data Howto use LDTP Editor
- Objects are identified both statically and dynamically
Enhancements:
- Now automation scripts can be written without using time.sleep.
- A particular object and its child can be remapped in a window.
- Memory leaks were fixed.

Linux::Inotify2 is a scalable directory/file change notification.
SYNOPSIS
Callback interface
use Linux::Inotify2;
# create a new object
my $inotify = new Linux::Inotify2
or die "Unable to create new inotify object: $!";
# for Event:
Event->io (fd =>$inotify->fileno, poll => r, cb => sub { $inotify->poll });
# for Glib:
add_watch Glib::IO $inotify->fileno, in => sub { $inotify->poll };
# manually:
1 while $inotify->poll;
# add watchers
$inotify->watch ("/etc/passwd", IN_ACCESS, sub {
my $e = shift;
my $name = $e->fullname;
print "$name was accessedn" if $e->IN_ACCESS;
print "$name is no longer mountedn" if $e->IN_UNMOUNT;
print "$name is gonen" if $e->IN_IGNORED;
print "events for $name have been lostn" if $e->IN_Q_OVERFLOW;
# cancel this watcher: remove no further events
$e->w->cancel;
});
Streaming Interface
use Linux::Inotify2 ;
# create a new object
my $inotify = new Linux::Inotify2
or die "Unable to create new inotify object: $!" ;
# create watch
$inotify->watch ("/etc/passwd", IN_ACCESS)
or die "watch creation failed" ;
while () {
my @events = $inotify->read;
unless (@events > 0) {
print "read error: $!";
last ;
}
printf "maskt%dn", $_->mask foreach @events ;
}
This module implements an interface to the Linux 2.6.13 and later Inotify file/directory change notification sytem.
It has a number of advantages over the Linux::Inotify module:
- it is portable (Linux::Inotify only works on x86)
- the equivalent of fullname works correctly
- it is better documented
- it has callback-style interface, which is better suited for
integration.

Linux::Input::Joystick 1.02
Linux::Input::Joystick is a joystick-specific interface for Linux 2.2+ more>>
Linux::Input::Joystick is a joystick-specific interface for Linux 2.2+
SYNOPSIS
Usage
use YAML;
my $js = Linux::Input::Joystick->new(/dev/input/js0);
while (1) {
my @event = $js->poll(0.01);
print Dump($_) foreach (@event);
}
This is a subclass of Linux::Input that implements the joystick event interface that versions of Linux from 2.2 onward support. It differs from the normal event interface in that it uses a slightly different C struct to return event information.
This subclass inherits all of Linux::Inputs methods, but differs from it in the following ways:
Class Methods
new
This method takes a $filename and returns a Linux::Input::Joystick object on success.
Example:
my $js = Linux::Input::Joystick->new(/dev/input/js1);
event_bytes
This method returns the size of the joystick event structure (which is always 8) no matter what platform you run this on.
Object Methods
poll
This method takes a $timeout as a parameter and returns an list of @events after that timeout has elapsed. The hashrefs inside @events have the following key/value pairs.
time
This is the time in microseconds that this event happened.
type
This is the type of event.
number
This number represents a more specific instance of type. For example, if type is 1 (meaning button event), then number might be 5 (meaning button 5 moved).
value
This number specifies what happened. Keeping the previous example in mind, if the value received is 1, that means the button was pressed. However, if its 0, that means the button was released.
For more information on what values to expect in this hashref, go look at /usr/include/linux/joystick.h

SlaBuntuVMware 0.2
SlaBuntuVMware is a useful installation suite for installing VMware Server on Slackware or Ubuntu. more>>
SlaBuntuVMware is a useful installation suite for installing VMware Server on Slackware or Ubuntu.
The project automatically downloads packages from the VMware site.
Tested on Slackware 11. (Slackware 10.2 might not work - try)
Tested on Ubuntu Desktop Dapper Drake and Ubuntu Desktop Edgy.
IMPORTANT: this suite does not include the vmware server packs,
they are downloaded from the official VMware site.
You also need a server key for activating the product that you must
get (for free) from the VMware web-site (http://www.vmware.com/server/)
INSTALLATION (Slackware Linux) :
a) 1- The perfect setup for running vmware on Slackware is:
Slackware 11 (When you install the OS leave a big partion for your
virtual machines).
Using a good server with an hardware raid controller:
Suggested Partition Table (scsi disks, if ide hda):
/dev/sda1 swap (megs?gb? depends on your system)
/dev/sda2 / 10Gb
/dev/sda3 /home 2Gb
/dev/sda4 /vm (160 Gb the rest for your virtual machines)
You must do a normal install with X support but no KDE.
2- Dropline Gnome (http://www.droplinegnome.net)
It is suggested you run gnome on Slackware 11. Gnome is not
included in the distro cds, therefore you must download
Dropline Gnome.
3- Kernel 2.6.x (with the kernel sources into /usr/src/linux)
(Default Kernel 2.4.33.3 works perfectly though)
CAUTION: take a look on www.vmware.com for the
supported kernel 2.6 versions.
OR
- If you have problems building 2.6.x vmware kernel module, just use
the normal 2.4.33.3 kernel supplied with your slackware, or try the test26.s
or huge26.s supplied with your slackware cds.
b) - The base setup for running vmware on Slackware is:
1- Slackware 11
2- Kde(not tested can have problems with some libraries)
(if you do not want to Download and install Dropline Gnome)
3- Kernel 2.4.33 (with the kernel sources into /usr/src/linux)
Using a normal pc with no raid controller (so you should use linux
raid software):
Suggested Partition Table (scsi disks, if ide hda):
/dev/md1 swap (megs?gb? depends on your system)
/dev/md2 / 10Gb
/dev/md3 /home 2Gb
/dev/md4 /vm (100 Gb? the rest for your virtual machines)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you do not want to use Gnome or Kde go at the end of this file.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) After making sure you have everything (including the kernel sources
inside /usr/src/linux) you can run:
3) as root ./setup.sh
4) follow the steps provided
(you can hit ENTER to most of the questions (90%)
4) provide the vmware free key when needed
(ask for it on the site http://www.vmware.com)
6) under an X session: Run the command "vmware" and Enjoy vmware!
INSTALLATION (Ubuntu Desktop, Alternate,NOT Server):
1) edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment all the lines starting with deb
2) open a terminal (xterm) and type "sudo ./setup.sh"
3) follow the steps provided
(you can hit ENTER to most of the questions (90%)
4) provide the vmware free key when needed
(ask for it on the site http://www.vmware.com)
5) Run the command "vmware" and Enjoy vmware!
INSTALLATION ON UBUNTU SERVER
- Not tried yet, but you should at first download and install X11 and gnome
and then follow the steps provided for Ubuntu Desktop above.
IMPORTANT INFO:
- Remember that vmware server packs are downloaded from the official vmware
site and are property of the VMware Company: http://www.vmware.com/
- Remember that in order to use VMware you should accept the terms of the
VMware license that will be displayed during the installation process.
- Remember that in order to installa VMware you should ask the VMware
fellows for a key. Do this at the VMware site: http://www.vmware.com/
- To create virtual machines you should use the vmware console.
a) Run the command "vmware" and the vmware console starts up.
b) Then connect to localhost.
- After created a virtual machine to run it from the cmd line use:
bash# vmware-cmd vmname.vmx start

Ark Linux Live 2007.1
Ark Linux Live is a Live CD edition of Ark Linux. more>>
Ark Linux Live is a Live CD edition of Ark Linux. Ark Linux is a beginner-friendly Linux distribution meant primarily for desktop use.
The Ark Linux team is pleased to announce the release of a first version of Ark Linux Live, a Live CD version of the Ark Linux operating system.
Ark Linux Live is designed to be as close to the "normal" version of Ark Linux as possible - and is built from the same source code.
There are a couple of known problems with this CD image, most notably non-English languages are not working in non-KDE applications, and the kernel spews some [harmless but dangerous looking] error messages at bootup. These (and other bugs that will possibly show up) will be fixed before the release of Ark Linux Live 2006.1.
The primary uses of a Live CD are:
- Recovering a normal system after a big hardware or software failure (Ark Linux will launch a special live CD for this purpose later, with more recovery tools and fewer other tools)
- Checking the system out without any risk
- Showing others what Linux is like, on their own hardware
- Taking your favorite operating system with you - e.g. to get on the net with Linux even if youre on vacation and the only internet cafe in town is a Microsoft shop
While it is possible to use Ark Linux Live as your primary operating system, that is not recommended - use Ark Linux Home instead.
Ark Linux is a Linux distribution designed especially for desktop use, primarily for people without prior Linux experience. Ark Linuxs main goal is ease of use, and the inclusion of many tools end users will need.
Ark Linux is fully Open Source and Free Software, meaning, basically, you can freely redistribute it in both modified and unmodified form.
Enhancements:
- The Ark Linux team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Ark Linux 2007.1, the latest version of its multi-purpose desktop operating system. Ark Linux can be used for office/school work, desktop publishing, graphics, multimedia entertainment/editing, gaming, software development, and more.
Ark Linux is very adaptable and responsive to the users needs without being overly complicated and/or bloated or difficult to install (all a basic installation takes is 3 mouse clicks). For a more customized install, use the expert mode, which makes it possible to manually set up the partitions you wish to install Ark Linux into.
There have been many more changes since the 2006.1 release - all components have been updated to current versions. For example, Ark Linux 2007.1 includes the KDE 3.5.7 desktop, the OpenOffice.org 2.2.1 office suite and the Amarok music player 1.4.7. It also includes the latest underlying technologies such as Linux kernel 2.6.22.3, glibc 2.6.1, and has been built completely with gcc 4.2.1, resulting in a faster system and quicker response times.
A new and better integrated version of the wine Windows emulator makes it possible to run more Windows applications on Linux than before.
In addition to this, hardware detection has been improved, many new drivers are included, support for encrypted wireless networks has been improved and many additional applications and games have been added to the software repository.
We also have good news for developers and OEMs: The Ark Linux build system has been extended to allow customized builds of both Ark Linux and Ark Linux Live including your packages of choice - making it easier than ever to build your own Linux distribution. All details on the new build system can be found at http://wiki.arklinux.org/index.php/Customized_Ark_Linux_CDs-.
Ark Linux 2007.1 and various add-on CDs can be downloaded at http://www.arklinux.org/. Free live support is available using the web chat at http://www.arklinux.org/content/en/Live+Support

For example, Ark Linux 2007.1 includes the KDE 3.5.7 desktop, the OpenOffice.org 2.2.1 office suite and the Amarok music player 1.4.7. It also includes the latest underlying technologies such as Linux kernel 2.6.22.3, glibc 2.6.1, and has been built completely with gcc 4.2.1, resulting in a faster system and quicker response times.
A new and better integrated version of the wine Windows emulator makes it possible to run more Windows applications on Linux than before.
In addition to this, hardware detection has been improved, many new drivers are included, support for encrypted wireless networks has been improved and many additional applications and games have been added to the software repository.
We also have good news for developers and OEMs: The Ark Linux build system has been extended to allow customized builds of both Ark Linux and Ark Linux Live including your packages of choice - making it easier than ever to build your own Linux distribution. All details on the new build system can be found at http://wiki.arklinux.org/index.php/Customized_Ark_Linux_CDs-.
Ark Linux 2007.1 and various add-on CDs can be downloaded at http://www.arklinux.org/. Free live support is available using the web chat at http://www.arklinux.org/content/en/Live+Support

The Xbox Linux Project aims to privide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer.
Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.
An Xbox with Linux can be a full desktop computer with mouse and keyboard, a web/email box connected to TV, a server or router or a node in a cluster.
You can either dual-boot or use Linux only; in the latter case, you can replace both IDE devices. And yes, you can connect the Xbox to a VGA monitor.
Main features:
- You can run Linux on your Xbox!
- You can do it without a modchip!
- You can do it without opening your Xbox!

Portable Linux Processor Affinity 1.0.2
Portable Linux Processor Affinity is an attempt to solve the problem of multiple APIs for processor affinity within Linux. more>>
The Portable Linux Processor Affinity (PLPA) library does the following, regardless of your Linux distribution, kernel version, and GLibc version:
- Provide consistent behavior
- Provide binary compatibility of processor affinity
- Provide a common API and set of abstractions
PLPA is an attempt to solve the problem that there are multiple APIs for processor affinity within Linux. Specifically, the functions sched_setaffinity() and sched_getaffinity() have numbers and types of parameters depending on your Linux vendor and/or version of GLibc. This is quite problematic for applications attempting to use processor affinity in Linux for compile-time, link-time, and run-time reasons.
The PLPA provides a single processor affinity API that developers can write to in order to get both consistent behavior and binary compatibility across different Linux installations (assuming that you have an executable that is otherwise binary Linux portable, of course).
Portable Linux Processor Affinity library was developed by the Open MPI team as a standalone project that can be used by the Linux community. Specifically: it is distributed independently of Open MPI and does not require any part of Open MPI for its compile-, link-, or run-time functionality.
Enhancements:
- The return status of plpa_sched_[set|get]affinity() is now ensured to be zero upon success.
<<less- Provide consistent behavior
