Semalam aku chat dengan orang yang agak power dalam bab open source ni.Aku tanya beliau ada tak operating system buatan Malaysia.Dia cakap ada namanya Embun tu pun berasaskan Ubuntu.
Aku ada juga cita-cita nak cuba buat operating system sendiri.Tapi mustahil aku mampu buat kerana kurangnya ilmu.Mungkin ini angan-angan kosong jer kot.
Aku cakap pada beliau mengapa tak glamour os Embun ni.Dia cakap mungkin kerana kurangnya promosi.Hasil perbualan aku dengan beliau.Beliau pun bagi kat aku pasal projek-projek open source yang sedang di ubahsuai ke dalam Bahasa Malaysia.
Kalau rasa nak cuba Embun boleh download OS Embun , aplikasi yang sedang di translate ke dalam Bahasa Malaysia dan projek khas untuk Ubuntu
Antara yang sudah terlepas atau hilang dari Umat Islam, ialah:-
1. Ilmu Pengetahuan
2. Kepimpinan bertaraf sejagat
3. Akhlak dan budi pekerti yang mulia
4. Ukhwah dan kasih sayang
5. Rasa sifat cemburu terhadap agama dan terhadap kaum wanita
6. Perpaduan dan kesatuan Umat Islam

China-based cyberspy group targeted India-researchers
BEIJING - A cyber-espionage group based in southwest China stole documents from the Indian Defence Ministry and emails from the Dalai Lama’s office, a group of Canadian researchers said in a report released on Tuesday.
The cyberspies used popular online services, including Twitter, Google’s Google Groups and Yahoo mail, to access infected computers, ultimately directing them to communicate with command and control servers in China, according to the report, “Shadows in the Cloud”.
“We have no evidence in this report of the involvement of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) or any other government in the Shadow network,” wrote the authors, who are researchers based at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs.
“But an important question to be entertained is whether the PRC will take action to shut the Shadow network down.”
They concluded the network was likely run by individuals with connections to the Chinese criminal underworld, and information might have been passed to branches of the Chinese government.
“I don’t know what evidence these people have, or what their motives are,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said, in response to questions about the report. She added that China could investigate if it were provided with evidence.
“Our policy is very clear. We resolutely oppose all Internet crime, including hacking.”
Stolen documents recovered by the researchers contained sensitive information taken from India’s National Security Council Secretariat, the group said.
They included secret assessments of India’s security situation in its northeastern states bordering Tibet, Bangladesh and Myanmar, as well as insurgencies by Maoists.
Confidential information taken from Indian embassies include assessments of Indian relations with West Africa, Russia, former Soviet republics and the Middle East, it said.
Information supplied by visa-seekers to the Indian embassy in Afghanistan and the Indian and Pakistani embassies in the United States were also compromised, the report said.
“We have heard about the hacking report and the concerned department is looking into the case,” said Sitanshu Kar, spokesman for the Indian Defence Ministry.
TIBETAN CONNECTION
A year ago, the same researchers described a systematic cyber-infiltration of the Tibetan government-in-exile, which they dubbed GhostNet.
Some of the command and control centres listed in the GhostNet report went offline, the researchers said, but provided leads for the latest investigation.
Domains used in both attacks resolved to an IP address in Chongqing, a large city in southwest China, while addresses in the nearby city of Chengdu were used to control Yahoo Mail accounts used in the attacks, the report said.
The report traced part of the network to individuals in Chengdu who are graduates of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and alleged to have links with the Chinese hacking community.
Attacks using social engineering to gain trust and access have garnered more attention since Google announced in January that it, along with more than 20 other companies, had suffered a hacking attack out of China. Google ultimately withdrew its Chinese-language search service from the mainland.
The cyberspies managed to penetrate a circle of individuals with knowledge of Indian military projects, as well as acquiring information about military engineering projects, the report said.
A U.N. commission based in Thailand was also compromised.
The data gathered by the researchers showed that security breaches in one group can result in the theft of confidential information from another organisation, a factor that makes it hard to distinguish the ultimate purpose of the cyberspying.
The researchers said the capture of the emails from the Dalai Lama’s office allowed the spies to track who might be contacting the Tibetan spiritual leader, who China accuses of seeking Tibetan independence.

How To Troubleshoot Printer Problem
Introduction. This article will describe some general troubleshooting steps applicable to most, but not all printers. It is not possible to describe all of the steps one might take to fix every make, model, and type of printer, but in many cases these simple set of procedures and a logical approach may save you a trip to a repair shop or even save that old printer you have just about given up on--don't shoot it yet or give it the old bounce test by dropping it out of a four story window! A lot of this is pretty much common sense; but, some otherwise obvious steps can be overlooked if you are in a hurry, can be performed in an inefficient sequence without a logical versus an Easter-egging approach, or you have not had the pleasure of troubleshooting a printer before.
PRINTER
1. Read the book. I cannot begin to tell you how many people have brought their printer to my shop with the User Manual and paid my wife (no computer expert) $32.50 to sit-down, read the book, and fix the printer. Unfortunately, some printer books aren't worth reading...
2. Check the manufacturer's web site. The problem you are having has most likely happened before. If the manufacturer has a good web site, you may find the answer there and save a lot of time, money, and frustration. Go to our Manufacturer Links page to get there fast.
3. Is it plugged-in? Make sure the printer is plugged into a live outlet. If it is plugged into a surge protector, make sure it is on. Try moving it from the surge protector to a known-good wall outlet.
4. Is it on? Ok, you can't print and Windows, etc. says it can't find the printer. Make sure the darn thing is turned on and there are no error lights (LEDs) lit. If there are error lights, refer to the user manual/manufacturer's web site. You should hear the print mechanism initialize when power is applied and most printers have at least one light which will be illuminated when it is on.
5. Is it on-line? Most printers have and on-line LED and button or the equivalent. The computer cannot communicate or send stuff to a printer that is not on-line; i.e., not connected to the cable between the printer and computer, and that is what "on-line" literally means. Again, I have gone to customer sites, pushed the on-line button, and charged them for my time and travel (I try to accomplish at least that much on the phone, but some...).
6. Is it beeping at you? Most printers will beep once or twice during or after initialization. If it beeps more than that or beeps constantly, the poor thing is either hurt or trying to tell you something is wrong. Look in the manual or go to the web site to learn what it is saying. Unfortunately, beep code documentation can be hard to find, the beep you hear may not listed, or the meaning of the beep is nebulous. Most, printers will beep when out of paper or out of ink and those are the most common causes for a printer turning into a road runner.
7. Does it test-print? Most printers have a built-in diagnostics program which can be very useful for troubleshooting problems and test-printing without a computer. They are usually initiated by pressing a button or two while turning on the printer. Check your user manual. If the printer test-prints OK, you have probably eliminated the mechanical print mechanism as the problem.
8. Does it have ink or toner? Is the Ink cartridge full, ribbon installed correctly, or laser cartridge full? An ink jet printer may have a black and a color cartridge. Check both of them or at least set the printer to use a cartridge with ink in it. You can usually extend the life of a laser cartridge long enough to order a new one by removing the cartridge and gently shaking it side-to-side to redistribute the tone. Sometimes you can get a ribbon going temporally by removing from the printer and manually advancing the ribbon past a worn spot by turning the sprockets.
9. Is it clean? Most ink jet printers have a simple user procedure for cleaning the print heads. You may have to clean them periodically or after the printer has been idle for a few days or weeks. If you see funny colors or print-outs are missing colors, a cartridge may be empty or a head dirty. You may have to clean a head many times to get it working again.
10. Does it have paper? Be sure the paper is installed correctly and there is enough of it. Most printers have a paper-out detector. On most dot matrix printers it is a photo diode. If form-fed paper is not aligned correctly (usually on the left side) the diode won't see it. DOS may indicate it has lost communications with a printer which is out of paper instead issuing a paper-out error.
11. Is it jammed? Paper jams are frequently the reason my wife is able to fix many printers. She's very good at it (and she has smaller fingers than mine). Always read the manual on how to clear a jam. Don't be a "gorilla" with your printer! You can easily damage a printer (strip gear threads, etc.), or even get hurt, if you do not follow instructions and are not careful. Turn the power off--unplug it. You have 110 volts running around the inside many printers. And print heads, gears, etc. like to nip fingers.
Laser printers have some very fine wires to remove static charges from the paper near the fuser mechanism which will break if you aren't very careful. Also, the fuser itself can be very hot (it fuses/melts toner to the paper).
Don't move a print head unless the instructions direct it. You can damage the belt, etc.
Address labels cause many paper jams and cannot always be seen. The old shirt cardboard trick can be used to dislodge them from many printers. Just feed a shirt cardboard (or cut a piece of like-sized cardboard form a file folder) through like a sheet of paper and wiggle the label loose and out.
Staples, paperclips, dog hair, and cookie crumbs are among the many things we have coaxed out of printers. A staple will raise havoc with the drum in laser printers. If you see vertical lines on pages printed by a laser printer (or copy machine), the drum is probably scratched. Replacing it can be a very expensive repair, indeed.
If jams persist, or the printer won't feed paper, there is a good chance that gears are stripped or rollers are worn-down or have flat spots. Fixing this sort of problem may require specialized tools and elaborate alignment procedures and is often best done at a printer repair depot. It is not usually economically feasible to send low-end ink jet and dot matrix printers, etc. to a repair depot. Sometimes roller problems can be fixed by cleaning the rollers.
Changing to a different kind of paper may help. Refer to your user manual for guidance.
On humid days, slightly damp paper can cause jams by sticking together causing more than one sheet to be fed at a time. Try removing the paper from its tray, etc. and fanning it. Make sure the edges or corners aren't curled and the tray is either not too empty or too full. Read the book...
Then there are those printers which no one can figure-out how to dissemble without damaging them...
12. Is it wedged? The printer memory could be full or there may my a glitch caused by a power spike. Turn-off the printer, wait a few seconds and turn it back on.
CABLE
13. Is it connected? The printer test prints, but it won't go on line... Well, is the cable from the printer to the computer connected. Screw down the DB-25 connector at the computer end and clip the Centronics connector at the printer end (your printer and computer may have different connectors; e.g., USB). Push-in and wiggle the connectors.
14. Is it connected to the printer port? Some SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) are physically identical to the male DB-25 connectors used for standard IBM/IBM-compatible printer ports. Plugging a printer into a SCSI port can damage the SCSI host board and the printer.
15. Do you have the correct cable? Many printers now require an IEEE 1284 and Bi-Directional. USB cables shouldn't be longer than 15 feet.
16. Is the cable good? Check for bent pins. Try another cable.
17. Is it connected properly? Screw the PC end down and latch the Centronics end at the printer.
18. Is there something else connected to the printer port? Disconnect it and uninstall the device drivers for it.
19. Does the printer port have a software security device on it? These devices attach to the printer port and the printer cable attaches to the device. They can break. Try printing without it.
COMPUTER
20. Is the printer port set-up correctly in your computer's BIOS Setup? Try the various printer modes in your computer's CMOS Setup. ECP+EPP usually works with bi-directional printers, but others may fix the problem.
21. Is the correct printer cable/header assembly installed and is it plugged-in right? I have seen cases where a baby AT motherboard was upgraded, but the printer cable/header assembly from the old motherboard was used and caused problems, but that is very rare. Also, the cable connecting to the motherboard could be backwards or loose.
DOS
22. Does it print from the DOS prompt? Try F8 (F8 or hold the Ctrl Key for Win 98) just as Windows starts to boot, select the DOS prompt from the resulting menu, find a non-zero length text file (one that is 1-2K would be a good choice) (e.g., autoexec.bat or something ending in .txt), and print from DOS with:
C:\>type autoexec.bat>lpt1:
or
C:\>type filename.txt>LPT1:
Click Cancel, turn the printer off, unplug the printer cable, wait a few seconds, reconnect the cable, make sure the printer is on with no error lights, restart Windows, and try again.’ Try the various printer modes in your computer's CMOS Setup. ECP+EPP usually works with bi-directional printers, but others may fix the problem. Try F8 just as Windows starts to boot, select the DOS prompt from the resulting menu, find a non-zero length text file (one that is 1-2K would be a good choice) (e.g., autoexec.bat or something ending in .txt), and print from DOS with:
C:\>type autoexec.bat>lpt1:
or
C:\>type filename.txt>LPT1:
If that works consistently, the problem is probably in Windows.
WINDOWS
23. Is it set-up properly? Be sure Windows is set-up correctly with the correct printer driver and something else (another printer, FAX, etc.) is not assigned LPT1: Be sure the printer is set as the default Windows printer. Try it on another desktop computer. If that works, try another printer on the suspect computer. Uninstalling and reinstalling the printer often fixes problems. Get rid of duplicate printers.
24. Does it have a stuck print queue? Start>Settings>Printers>double click the printer> Printer>Purge Print Documents
25. Have you used Windows Help to solve the problem? Start>Help>Contents>Troubleshooting>Windows 98 Troubleshooters>Print.
26. Have you used Microsoft's Knowledge Base? Start with: Q128345 Troubleshooting Printing Problems in Windows 95/98

6. Is it beeping at you? Most printers will beep once or twice during or after initialization. If it beeps more than that or beeps constantly, the poor thing is either hurt or trying to tell you something is wrong. Look in the manual or go to the web site to learn what it is saying. Unfortunately, beep code documentation can be hard to find, the beep you hear may not listed, or the meaning of the beep is nebulous. Most, printers will beep when out of paper or out of ink and those are the most common causes for a printer turning into a road runner.
7. Does it test-print? Most printers have a built-in diagnostics program which can be very useful for troubleshooting problems and test-printing without a computer. They are usually initiated by pressing a button or two while turning on the printer. Check your user manual. If the printer test-prints OK, you have probably eliminated the mechanical print mechanism as the problem.
8. Does it have ink or toner? Is the Ink cartridge full, ribbon installed correctly, or laser cartridge full? An ink jet printer may have a black and a color cartridge. Check both of them or at least set the printer to use a cartridge with ink in it. You can usually extend the life of a laser cartridge long enough to order a new one by removing the cartridge and gently shaking it side-to-side to redistribute the tone. Sometimes you can get a ribbon going temporally by removing from the printer and manually advancing the ribbon past a worn spot by turning the sprockets.
9. Is it clean? Most ink jet printers have a simple user procedure for cleaning the print heads. You may have to clean them periodically or after the printer has been idle for a few days or weeks. If you see funny colors or print-outs are missing colors, a cartridge may be empty or a head dirty. You may have to clean a head many times to get it working again.
10. Does it have paper? Be sure the paper is installed correctly and there is enough of it. Most printers have a paper-out detector. On most dot matrix printers it is a photo diode. If form-fed paper is not aligned correctly (usually on the left side) the diode won't see it. DOS may indicate it has lost communications with a printer which is out of paper instead issuing a paper-out error.
11. Is it jammed? Paper jams are frequently the reason my wife is able to fix many printers. She's very good at it (and she has smaller fingers than mine). Always read the manual on how to clear a jam. Don't be a "gorilla" with your printer! You can easily damage a printer (strip gear threads, etc.), or even get hurt, if you do not follow instructions and are not careful. Turn the power off--unplug it. You have 110 volts running around the inside many printers. And print heads, gears, etc. like to nip fingers.
Laser printers have some very fine wires to remove static charges from the paper near the fuser mechanism which will break if you aren't very careful. Also, the fuser itself can be very hot (it fuses/melts toner to the paper).
Don't move a print head unless the instructions direct it. You can damage the belt, etc.
Address labels cause many paper jams and cannot always be seen. The old shirt cardboard trick can be used to dislodge them from many printers. Just feed a shirt cardboard (or cut a piece of like-sized cardboard form a file folder) through like a sheet of paper and wiggle the label loose and out.
Staples, paperclips, dog hair, and cookie crumbs are among the many things we have coaxed out of printers. A staple will raise havoc with the drum in laser printers. If you see vertical lines on pages printed by a laser printer (or copy machine), the drum is probably scratched. Replacing it can be a very expensive repair, indeed.
If jams persist, or the printer won't feed paper, there is a good chance that gears are stripped or rollers are worn-down or have flat spots. Fixing this sort of problem may require specialized tools and elaborate alignment procedures and is often best done at a printer repair depot. It is not usually economically feasible to send low-end ink jet and dot matrix printers, etc. to a repair depot. Sometimes roller problems can be fixed by cleaning the rollers.
Changing to a different kind of paper may help. Refer to your user manual for guidance.
On humid days, slightly damp paper can cause jams by sticking together causing more than one sheet to be fed at a time. Try removing the paper from its tray, etc. and fanning it. Make sure the edges or corners aren't curled and the tray is either not too empty or too full. Read the book...
Then there are those printers which no one can figure-out how to dissemble without damaging them...
12. Is it wedged? The printer memory could be full or there may my a glitch caused by a power spike. Turn-off the printer, wait a few seconds and turn it back on.
CABLE
13. Is it connected? The printer test prints, but it won't go on line... Well, is the cable from the printer to the computer connected. Screw down the DB-25 connector at the computer end and clip the Centronics connector at the printer end (your printer and computer may have different connectors; e.g., USB). Push-in and wiggle the connectors.
14. Is it connected to the printer port? Some SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) are physically identical to the male DB-25 connectors used for standard IBM/IBM-compatible printer ports. Plugging a printer into a SCSI port can damage the SCSI host board and the printer.
15. Do you have the correct cable? Many printers now require an IEEE 1284 and Bi-Directional. USB cables shouldn't be longer than 15 feet.
16. Is the cable good? Check for bent pins. Try another cable.
17. Is it connected properly? Screw the PC end down and latch the Centronics end at the printer.
18. Is there something else connected to the printer port? Disconnect it and uninstall the device drivers for it.
19. Does the printer port have a software security device on it? These devices attach to the printer port and the printer cable attaches to the device. They can break. Try printing without it.
COMPUTER
20. Is the printer port set-up correctly in your computer's BIOS Setup? Try the various printer modes in your computer's CMOS Setup. ECP+EPP usually works with bi-directional printers, but others may fix the problem.
21. Is the correct printer cable/header assembly installed and is it plugged-in right? I have seen cases where a baby AT motherboard was upgraded, but the printer cable/header assembly from the old motherboard was used and caused problems, but that is very rare. Also, the cable connecting to the motherboard could be backwards or loose.
DOS
22. Does it print from the DOS prompt? Try F8 (F8 or hold the Ctrl Key for Win 98) just as Windows starts to boot, select the DOS prompt from the resulting menu, find a non-zero length text file (one that is 1-2K would be a good choice) (e.g., autoexec.bat or something ending in .txt), and print from DOS with:
C:\>type autoexec.bat>lpt1:
or
C:\>type filename.txt>LPT1:
Click Cancel, turn the printer off, unplug the printer cable, wait a few seconds, reconnect the cable, make sure the printer is on with no error lights, restart Windows, and try again.’ Try the various printer modes in your computer's CMOS Setup. ECP+EPP usually works with bi-directional printers, but others may fix the problem. Try F8 just as Windows starts to boot, select the DOS prompt from the resulting menu, find a non-zero length text file (one that is 1-2K would be a good choice) (e.g., autoexec.bat or something ending in .txt), and print from DOS with:
C:\>type autoexec.bat>lpt1:
or
C:\>type filename.txt>LPT1:
If that works consistently, the problem is probably in Windows.
WINDOWS
23. Is it set-up properly? Be sure Windows is set-up correctly with the correct printer driver and something else (another printer, FAX, etc.) is not assigned LPT1: Be sure the printer is set as the default Windows printer. Try it on another desktop computer. If that works, try another printer on the suspect computer. Uninstalling and reinstalling the printer often fixes problems. Get rid of duplicate printers.
24. Does it have a stuck print queue? Start>Settings>Printers>double click the printer> Printer>Purge Print Documents
25. Have you used Windows Help to solve the problem? Start>Help>Contents>Troubleshooting>Windows 98 Troubleshooters>Print.
26. Have you used Microsoft's Knowledge Base? Start with: Q128345 Troubleshooting Printing Problems in Windows 95/98
