Please go through the post before following my instructions if you are reluctant to digest ubuntu

quick commands with dirty explanation for those who want it to be handy

Consider anything starting with $ as a command prompt and starting with # as comment

—————————————————————————————————————

$cat /proc/meminfo   #note the memory of your system, in my case it was 4GB

$sudo swapoff -a  #I assume you don’t have swap partition, but this is better to disable swap for time being

$sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=8M #1.5 to 2x the size of ram

$sudo chmod 600 /swapfile && sudo mkswap /swapfile && sudo swapon /swapfile #format the swap  and enable swap

$sudo gedit /etc/fstab

#remove old swap partitions if you have and add below line

/swapfile   none   swap   sw   0   0
$free -m #shows you memory usage, we just check if swap is in use or not.

$sudo blkid -g
$sudo blkid
#note down the UUID of the partition where you created swapfile in my case it looked like faac47f5-4a40-4d97-b71e-09890eb11207
$sudo filefrag -v /swapfile #this is where it differs from the post I mentioned
#note down the physical block number for logical zero block
#ext logical physical expected length flags
# 0       0   278528           16384
#For my case the block number is  278528
$echo "resume=UUID=cdXX--X18 resume_offset=66050" | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
$gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
#find the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="..." it might be empty in place of ...
#add 'resume=UUID=faac47f5-4a40-4d97-b71e-09890eb11207 resume_offset=278528' without '(quote) to the above option
$sudo update-grub
$reboot your machine
$hibernate should work   this is not a command

I thought it would be a tough job (after playing around with android logcat )

It is done with just two steps mentioned below

exit /etc/default/grub
e.g #sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Find the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” and make it look like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”", then save the file

run #sudo update-grub

You are done.

There is a bug in Canonical to track this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/406515

Later I updated the kernel to 2.6.34-020634rc6-generic which resolved the problem, none other workaround in the bug description acpi=off etc worked for me.

If it helps, leave a comment.

I copied pidgin.dll from funpidgin project and the issue resolved. Hope this helps…

The information below is available in internet in bits and pieces which is gathered and posted here.

Steps.

1. Download and Install JDK
   1. Download “JDK 6 Update XX with Java EE” from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
   2. Install JDK to an appropriate folder say C:\JDK1.6
   3. If you are using JAX-WS 2.1 then make sure the XX is greater than 07
   4. Set JAVA_HOME and JAVA6_HOME environment variables to point to installed JDK1.6 folder.
2. Download and Install Eclipse
   1. Download Eclipse 3.5 from Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (189 MB) extract to a convinient folder say c:\eclipse
   2. From within eclipse, Install new software (form help menu) and point to http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development to install JBoss tools for eclipse. This will install JBoss 5.1 Runtime Environment server for eclipse.
3. Download and Install JBoss
   1. Download http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/ and extract it to a convinient folder. say C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA
   2. Set JBOSS_HOME environment variable to point to installed C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA folder
4. Download and Install Metro Web Services
   1. Download “http://jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossws/downloads/jbossws-metro-3.2.0.GA.zip and extract it to a temp folder say C:\temp\jbossws-metro-3.2.0.GA
   2. Go to C:\temp\jbossws-metro-3.2.0.GA and copy ant.properties.example to ant.properties
   3. You need to have Apache ant installed in your system for next steps to work. if not please download latest ant from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi and install.
   4. Edit ant.properties file and change jboss510.home=C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA
   5. comment out other jboss501.home etc in ant.properties file.
   6. Form command line run “ant deploy-jboss510″ to patch your JBoss with Metro web services.
5. Launch eclips. From Servers tab, create new server -> Select “JBoss AS 5.1″ Server and point to JBoss installation directory when required.
6. Double click the newly created server to open configuraiton opetions. Change timeouts to some bigger value like 450 seconds.
7. Now you can deploy you J2EE applications form within eclipse. Clean, Publish, restart and debug as you do with any other web application.
8. Create an ear project and war project, select JBoss 5.1 runtime server and point to jboss installation as required.
9. Right click the ear project and run as -> on server, select jboss 5.1 runtime server. Make sure the project will be deployed properly.

Enough of description of express my sadness. My 2nd ttys1 port was not working due to wrong pin connection on MAX232 board which was fixed inside the case, while fixing this, the 12v hot wires pulled from power supply to connect to Power button on the front accidentally sparked with 3.3v rx/tx on PCB which caused the sudden death of my WRT54G. One of the 3.3v regulator near power supply was getting overheated due to some short circuit. Tried to trace the problem but ended up zeeroing on broadcom switch IC .

Bad luck, Now it is resting in a coffin.

I purchased new WRT54G and exchanged with for WRT54G v4 with my fried. It again took lot of time to execute all the mods.

Once powered with OpenWrt, I plugged it’s ethernet port to my WRT54G lan port. connected my PC using wifi interface. I got an IP form my WRT54G DHCP server. Now I can not connect to fon without breaking connectivity to internet. need to connect it my PC by ether net with static IP to further change configuration.

Lots of googling and research served the purpose.

Here is the configuration of my fon. lost the transperent bridging capability. now it is NATed. I can connect to it form my wifi as well as WAN port, though I need to find the wan IP address as it is dynamic.

let me know if you can do transparent bridging and WAN access both.
I tried with eth0.0 eth0.1 stuff, but did not work.

The very purpose is to reduce number of wires required to interconnect. Obviously all devices will be connected in parallel to a single bus using couplers, much like a hub in typical LAN network.

For more information on the standard itself, please look at wikipedia link. I will keep posting about my work… After a small break…
