build/tools/soslim/soslim.c(123): gelf_getshdr(): invalid operand

Hi Folks,

Today am going to share with you a what I experienced when I was working wih Android NDK. I usually hibernate my work because in every project definitely there will be many files on which we would be working continuously. Hence I again hibernated but suddenly after I logged in I found this problem

build/tools/soslim/soslim.c(123): gelf_getshdr(): invalid operand

I approached my seniors for this error but they were unable to respond back with a solution or reproduce it. So in anger I just closed every terminal and just started the terminal new and built the Android NDK. It just became fine without any error.

So I would like to say that if in the future you experience this problem just close everything and restart it. :)

How to Log into root account in Ubuntu

I faced the same problem of not able to log into the ubuntu's root account. Ubuntu is more secure and it makes the user to make use of the resources safely, hence instead of providing the su command, it has provided sudo command. Using sudo you could log into the root account as follows:

bash#sudo bash

u get the root access to your new bash shell, now you give


bash#sudo passwd
Enter New Unix Password:
Confirm Password:

And BINGOOOO.... you now made a password for the root account :D enjoy by logging off the current user account and log into the root account with your currently set password :D

Life After DOJ !!

Got my Date of Joining as August 1, 2011 at Aricent Technologies (Holding) Ltd. in Gurgaon, and that being the headquarters, am very close to my company as well. I was sent an e-mail at 8.54 pm, stating my Date of Joining following the place of Joining, was mighty happy that I am gonna be a software engineer trainee afterwards :).

    Informed my parents and they congratulated me with a gentle kiss of love :), but ya they were expecting me to be training at Chennai, my sis being there for nearly 3 years. Hence atlast my dreams came true :). I am been called to a company which is gonna mould me into their Networking Domain, and I will be working there with great interest :)

   At the same time I posted the news on facebook but not on my facebook wall, rather I did it in a group where in, we all students are waiting for the call letter from Aricent, so that I could hear the same from some of my pals too, and to my surprise, NONE NONE NONE was invited except a gal from my dept, and the good news is that I don't like her at all !!!! In that situation neither I was feeling happy nor sad but ya i felt like CRYING ;'( :'( !! At least a guy could have come with me giving company working with me, but NONE was there !!! That is what i call as FATE :D :'(.

   After that only, came to know that 2 other CSE guys have received but those two have opted for other stuffs !! What a fate !! Hmm and they have rejected the offer, so I wish that hey GOD, please send some CSE guy from CIT for my sake to be with me !! I am very desperate being alone in there !!
