Re: Permission to incorporate the gnome logo into ours
Hi Mark, I've forwarded your request to the board, which is where all such requests get approved. Regards, Dave. Mark Maunder a écrit : Hi, I run WorkZoo, a job search engine. We're going to be launching a job search dedicated to jobs in open source technologies very soon. I'd like permission to incorporate the Gnome footprint into our logo. I'd be happy to include a message in the footer that gives credit to gnome.org as owner of the logo. We have a great design house working on the logo for our search, so it will be 'tastefully done'. If this list isn't the proper forum for this message, please let me know who I should contact. Thanks, Mark. -- David Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: HOWTO create a localized live CD
Under follows a HOWTO for the Live CD provided by Marcus Bauer. I mailed him with some questions which you can find at the bottom but he hasn't replied so I thought I'd send it here in a Feel Lucky? manner :-) man, 23,.05.2005 kl. 14.05 +0200, skrev Marcus Bauer: Hi, below is a first draft about how to create a live CD. Check it out and give me your feedback. It would be great if we could work on a common plattform, i.e. not everybody having his personal script but collecting all improvements. Same thing applies for your local enhancements: please let me know what you added/changed so we can integrate that into the process. Thanks for your support! HOWTO create a localized live CD Prerequisites - Install the following packages (here the debian names): cloop-utils rsync mkisofs msttcorefonts syslinux Make sure you have enough memory, you need 700MB free; a swapfile is easily added: dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=700k mkswap -c swapfile swapon swapfile Download: http://project77.info/gnomelive/livecd.tgz (900KB) and unpack it. This will create under livecd/ the necessary directories and contains stuff for localization and branding. Next you need to download the live CD iso from ubuntu: http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/5.04/ubuntu-5.04-live-i386.iso (if you are short of bandwidth and just want to help localization you can skip this) Change to livecd/locales and create a directory with the name of your locale (i.e. pt_BR or no_NO) and copy everything from en_US into it. Translations You need to translate all the text files, at least isolinux.txt and f1.txt; don't worry that doesn't take more than 10 minutes. Changing images --- boot-splash: * open gnome-boot-splash-it.xcf in gimp the text is in separate layers which makes changes easy font is trebuchet bold * make your changes and save in .xcf to be able to reuse it * merge visible layers (it is important to merge before indexing) * image-mode-indexed-16 colors, dithering: none * save as .ppm, raw mode * now run on the command line: ppmtolss16 gnome-boot-splash-XY.ppm splash.rle XY=your language, i.e. pt, no etc. gnome-backgound: * open gnome-background-XY.xcf in gimp * make your changes an save as .jpg To add additional software, add them the .deb packages to your directory. manpages-XY and doc-linux-XY may be a good starting point. You may download a copy of the latest firefox for windows and save it to the winprogs directory. Thus after a demonstration of the gnome liveCD you can install a first open source program on that computer you ran the liveCD on (which most likly is running windows...) FINISHED. You are done! Now change back to livecd/ and run: ./make_livecd.sh Depending on the speed of your Computer and network connection it takes about an hour to create the new .iso. === Some more words: In case of problems (not unlikely) and/or questions just mail me. I'm currently quite familiar with that stuff and may save you a lot of time. The script still needs more extensions, a lot of stuff is still hardwired which is a bad thing(tm). Your experience is needed to enhance the script to make it possible to create them all on the fly for gnome 2.12. Have fun! Marcus Hello, I requested[1] some info on how to create a localised Live CD some time back. I didn't notice your reply/HOWTO until yesterday though. The HOWTO was very explaining and I've successfully created the iso but it still got some issues; * I've translated the f1.txt and so on files, but the Norwegian characters doesn't show correctly when you boot. Is it even possible to make them show correctly? * The autorun feature didn't work on with windows. Do you have any clue if this is my fault or? The autorun.ini file etc was in place. * I created the iso using ./the-make-script nb nb-NO iirc. And choose nb-NO in the locale dialog accordingly afterwards. When I opened firefox it obviously tried to open a localised version of the start page but nb-NO isn't supported (probably only no or nb is). Do you have any idea if this is a key that resides somewhere I can change it before making the iso? It looks slightly unprofessional that the start page has an error message. * Is it fairly trivial to put my own things in /Desktop so that if we translated luis' documents we could put them there? Btw, has there been any progress in the Start here document for the live CDs that you know of? I would love to help out although for the time being I don't know how to use docbook. Hope this isn't too much of a hassle for you!

Is it even possible to make them show correctly? This is an interesting issue. At the point when these text files are shown, only the boot loader/grub is running. No linux kernel, not userspace applications, just grub. The default font I think is the system font and there should be a way from within grub to change the font. I have heard reports that other LiveCD projects managed to make the font change, and you can see languages such as Greek. But this is for Knoppix-derived (knoppel-greek in that case). I do not know the specifics and I am really interested to find out how this can be achieved. * The autorun feature didn't work on with windows. Do you have any clue if this is my fault or? The autorun.ini file etc was in place. autorun.ini should be in the root directory of the CD. Also, it might need to be in DOS text file style (CRLF), use unix2dos to convert. Post the contents of the file. * I created the iso using ./the-make-script nb nb-NO iirc. And choose nb-NO in the locale dialog accordingly afterwards.
