Re: udev strangeness in Sid?
hi, Just did an `apt-get upgrade` on my Sid system and since it pulled in a new kernel I rebooted. During booting I was greated with _lots_ of message from udev about not being able to run hotplugd or udevd (I'm fairly sure those were the programs it was complaining about, I didn't find any trace of those messages in /var/log/* so I'm relying on my memory here). Anyone else seeing the same? Anyone who can offer a solution that'll make it go away ;-) i experience similar (same?) problem with the 2.6.15-something kernel that is in the sid right now. i also don't remember the message, but it is udevd that complains that it cannot run something (i recall seeing something like 'runscript' on the error line and then some path beginning with /lib/). the system however boots fine. this happens only with the distribution kernel. my self-compiled kernels work fine. >> Could it be related to the fact that udev _never_ is able to update the >> ramdisk?

Debian pre-built virtual machines available
Hi there list, Just wanted to mention this so you can spread the word and perhaps blog about this: VMware is giving away for free their VMware Player software, a trimmed down version of their VMware Workstation product that lets you "play" (but not create) a virtual machine in both Linux or Windows. I mention this here because Debian GNU/Linux happens to have two pre-built virtual machines listed in the community area of their site as seen here: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/vm/community.html The links are these: 01. Debian Sarge 3.1, minimal (netinstall) version. 115M zipped. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/ 02. Debian Sarge 3.1r1, minimal. 98M zipped. http://chaz6.com/?page_id=141 The advantage of Debian here is that both of them are the smallest downloads among the other distros and OSes showed there and perhaps the easiest to update and turn into a desired functional virtual box. So if someone you know, a friend, client or collegue needs to check Linux out you could suggest Debian and you could suggest VMware Player as a "safe" way to get the know the product for them. Perhaps it's the ideal deal for those guys that want to learn to sysadmin their own dedicated server or simply want to learn about Postfix, Squid or Samba to set a server in their office. Hope this info is useful for you or your friends, Antonio. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A bit more searching seemed to tell me the same thing. On the pages where I was adding PHP, I ended up converting the SSI code to PHP, replacing the .shtml suffix with .html (I use AddType application/x-httpd-php .html), and letting mod_speling sort it out.

I guess your problem is with the actual .html or .shtml files that don't contain PHP code, but even in that case if they're passing thru' PHP they should get the text/html mimetype as default.

look in /etc/udev/rules.d/050_hal* and see what that says. That is the rule
that creates sd* devices.
OK, in /etc/udev/hal.rules:
# put removable IDE/SCSI devices into the hal group instead of 'disk'
BUS="scsi",KERNEL="sd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh
%k", RESULT="1", NAME="%k", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal"

I have no 050_hal* files. I have a file called z_hal-plugdev.rules:

Since they point to /etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh:
#!/bin/sh -e

# and "0" otherwise.

mouse buttons problem - need help ?
hi all,i've been using debian for months but still not able to use my optic mouse effectively as i did with XP.it has 4 buttons and 2 scrolls.buttons : left - right (as exist in every mouse) backward - forward (backward is at left side of left button and forward is at right side of right button.)scrools : one is to move up - down in a page and the other is to move left - right in a page. my mouse definition in xorg.conf is like this :Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" Option "Buttons" "9"EndSectionwhat am i doing wrong ? dont know how to change these Options ??? any idea ?now let me tell what my buttons and scrolls do :buttons : left and right buttons work fine. [no problem with these guys ;)] backward: button do something nearly the same as F5 ;) i mean it does something like refresh but still havent completely understood cos soon it refresh the page goes to bottom of the page. forward : does the same job as right button does. [shows me the properties.]scrolls : first scrool also does his job pretty good. but second scrool [expected to move left - right in a page ] does what backward - forward buttons have to do. i mean it moves among backward - forward pages. this is the biggest problem that i've for months since i've moved from ms to linux. ;)hope you will help me and i'll fix this.by the way did some google analysis but couldnt find any valuable info for 6 buttons :'( thanks in advance.bye.

Another is to enable serial console at boot and log this output either to localhost (sufficient for most purposes) or to a second system (possibly a dedicated logging server).

It just saves a step on some activity. On debian, I have to kill gdm, fiddle, and restart it. 2) no 'service 'instead we use /etc/init.d/service start/stop/restart and AFAICT no 'status' Running both systems, status is another feature that's very useful. 3) no tool like the runlevel/services editor in rh. the tools are there but they dont do it the rh way What are the "official" debian tools for doing this stuff? I use wajig for starting and stopping services manually. It's very useful, though hardly a "standard" tool. Having default startup numbers in the init scripts is handy at times as well. I usually find redhat's stuff easier to configure. On the other hand, the debian package repository is second to none, which is why I run it.

X starts crashing after an upgrade
Hello list, After an upgrade of the originally installed Debian Sarge (xdm4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 and xfce 4.0.5-1) the X started to crash from time to time. When it crashes the panel and all open applications vanish leaving only the desktop background on the screen. The right click with the mouse doesn't bring the pop-up menu. In two occasions (in one of which I was connected to the Internet) the pppd has (re)started by itself, using, I guess, the default CHAP/PAP script, as in my customized one the modem sound is OFF. (Now I am wondering could it be a virus?) It might be also relevant to mention that a month ago I installed a new kernel image (2.6.8-2-k7 as my CPU is AMD Duron) to replace the originally installed 2.6.8-1-i386, and it worked fine until now. For all upgrades I use aptitude as a front end of apt.

Please do: cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > /tmp/usb_devices.txt and post usb_devices.txt. Also, post lsmod output, and the contents of any InputDevice sections (Section "InputDevice") from your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Explanation: The proc dump will show most of the relevant information about any usb devices attached to your system, the lsmod output will tell us what usb related modules, if any, you have loaded, and the InputDevice sections will show us whether or not you have configured your X server to use your USB devices. Obviously, you will have to do this from a different machine, by ssh or telnet'ing to the box under discussion. I'm assuming that nothing works, here . . . that you can't use a virtual terminal, not that you just can't use X. If this assumption is in error, tell me what does work, and what doesn't.

Hi I have exactly the same motherboard and same version of debian. I think I've managed to get around the problem by running the install in "expert26" rather than just simply hitting enter at the boot screen. From there I simply used all the default options and it managed to get past the point where it was stalling and continue with the installation. I hope doing this will help you get it working too. Dan

debian binary compatability...
Still trying to work out why binary executables which file(1) identifies
as:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
Which are part of a non-source commercial Linux application dated from
around 1998, and ran fine on my SuSE system, won't execute on a
Debian system, and doesn't even seem to return a sensible error
message:
strace /tmp/setup
strace: exec: No such file or directory
execve("/tmp/setup", ["/tmp/setup"], [/* 17 vars */]) = 0
I get the same result on Debian 2.4 and 2.6 stable kernels.
The old SuSE system was 2.4.10, and I originally thought it might have
been some backward compatability in my old SuSE kernel that has been
deprecated in more recent kernels, but I have just tried it on a
Gentoo system with kernel 2.6.12, and appart from complaining about a
missing shared library it runs on that as well, so it does appear to
be a Debian issue.
I have checked my kernel config for any likely looking
executable format options, don't see any optional ELF formats.
Just to prove it is not a shell oddity, access permissions or
mistyping a name, here is a trivial test program:
#include
char prog[] = "/tmp/setup";
main()
{
int val;
if(access(prog, X_OK) != 0)
{
printf("file does not exist\n");
exit(1);
}
val = execl(prog, prog, 0);
printf("exec returned %d\n", val);
perror(prog);
}
which produces the following output:
exec returned -1
/tmp/setup: No such file or directory
Does anyone have any idea what is going on??

Apparently both > of them do the (more or less) same thing inside a cluster... I had a very brief play with openmosix, but not openSSI, but my understanding is that openmosix will shunt your jobs onto different CPUs in the cluster. If they have differing amounts of memory, it'll also attempt to pick the machine with the appropriate amount of memory -- if your job needs 1GB, and only one machine has 1GB virtual memory, then it'll go there. Of course, there are race conditions in that, if openmosix is too slow to shunt the job around. One job on one node can't see any ram from any other machine. openssi, AFAIK, just combines all the ram from all the machines into one memory image -- single system image. I don't think it can schedule jobs onto one node or another and gives you N CPUs, but I can be very much wrong on this. So, do you want much RAM or many CPUs? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you are building your own kernel, increased buffer capacity is as close as a make xconfig, reset it, rebuild and reinstall, reboot.

I have been unable to find any play on the mozilla.org site to ask

I am trying to change the fonts used in the various panels in
Seamonkey Mail. I am using the same profile as I use for the
Mozilla Suite, but the displayed fonts are not the same (or the
display of them is handled differently). The fonts used by the
Mozilla Suite are much more readable than those used for Seamonkey.
Changes to 'Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts are only supposed to
affect web pages, not the folder and message lists of Seamonkey,
itself.
Moz and SM and Firefox UI fonts are managed with CSS, something not
particularly easy for a CSS novice to get a handle on. Users can
change them using the file chrome/userChrome.css in your profile
directory. The one you'll want to start with is probably
treechildren, in the form used on:
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#usercss , probably
something like "treechildren {font-size: 9pt !important; font-family:
'dejavu sans' !important;}".
That solved that problem. I used Arial, 10pt and it looks just fine in
the folder and thread panes.
Now for the continuation of the problem:
In the message pane the postings appear in various different fonts due
to the preferences set by the sender. Normally, this is not a problem.
Variety is just fine. But I found 1 (one) posting that comes through
virtually unreadable. It is very blocky, looking like the print from a
bad 9-pin dot matrix printer from the 80's.
The message in question was from David Baron, this morning. The subject
was "Re: Where does a guy get KDE 3.5?"
Now, I don't think that this is due to David's settings, since I have
received other posts from him today that were perfectly clear and
readable. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how
to avoid it. I don't want to force all messages to display in the same
font, necessarily. I think what I want is to figure out what font that
message was using and force only that font to something more readable.
Does anyone know how I might do that? I did not see anything at
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#usercss which seemed to be
what I needed.

Re: udev strangeness in Sid?

During booting I was greated with _lots_ of message from udev about not being able to run hotplugd or udevd (I'm fairly sure those were the programs it was complaining about, I didn't find any trace of those messages in /var/log/* so I'm relying on my memory here). Anyone else seeing the same? Anyone who can offer a solution that'll make it go away ;-) Could it be related to the fact that udev _never_ is able to update the ramdisk? (update-initramfs -u always reports that "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-686 was been altered. Cannot update.") This will probably not be too helpful, but I can at least tell you that I get the same error message whenever udev is updated, but I do not have any problem with udev during boot. (I am using a custom 2.6.15 kernel compiled from the newest Debian sources on a Sid machine and udev 0.084-3.) Did you try to activate bootlogd?

I have debian amd64 running on this computer, and I find it quite easy. It is a pure 64-bit system, but you can easily run 32-bit apps under a chroot. I've never done it before, but by following this: https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id272095 I set it up in a few minutes.

I am trying to change the fonts used in the various panels in
Seamonkey Mail. I am using the same profile as I use for the
Mozilla Suite, but the displayed fonts are not the same (or the
display of them is handled differently). The fonts used by the
Mozilla Suite are much more readable than those used for Seamonkey.
Changes to 'Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts are only supposed to
affect web pages, not the folder and message lists of Seamonkey,
itself.
If both your SM and your Moz are from debs, or both are from
mozilla.org downloads, when there should be no difference in the UI
fonts. You may want to take a look at resolving any DPI issues before
trying to adjust the fonts themselves:
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html
Is there a debian package of Seamonkey at this time? Certainly not in
Sarge, but looking through allpackages.html for Sid, I didn't see it,
either. So my Mozilla Suite is a .deb and my Seamonkey is from mozilla.org.
Moz and SM and Firefox UI fonts are managed with CSS, something not
particularly easy for a CSS novice to get a handle on. Users can
change them using the file chrome/userChrome.css in your profile
directory. The one you'll want to start with is probably
treechildren, in the form used on:
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#usercss , probably
something like "treechildren {font-size: 9pt !important; font-family:
'dejavu sans' !important;}".
As I said, I am using the same profile for Mozilla and for Seamonkey, so
anything controlled by files in the profile directory tree *should* be
the same. In any case, the only .css files that I see in the chrome
directory are user-Chrome-example.css and userContent-example.css. Is
it possible that, lacking userChrome.css each of the programs is
handling things in its own way, but if I copy userChrome-example.css to
userChrome.css they would both use it and be the same? If so, since it
was created my Mozilla Suite (which displays better font) then maybe it
would be set up to use fonts as Mozilla Suite does and I will get them both
working the way I want. I will give that a try and report back the
results that I get.

can not log into a windows machine connected to a domain managed by samba/ldap
Hi everybody, I am installing a domain controller managed by samba/ldap. The first problem encountered was the impossibility for a windows machine to join a domain. Normally, an entry has to be created in the ldap DB which normally belongs to the following object class : "top, person, organizationalPerson, inetOrgPerson, posixAccount and sambasamaccount". The entry was effectively created at the good place but it did not belong to the sambasamaccount object class which notably defines the attributes sambaLMPassword, sambaNTPassword and others. To correct this, I realized that the command "smbldap-useradd -w" used by samba to create the entry in ldap when a machine joins the domain could correctly work only if an entry of the same name already existed in the "/etc/passwd" file. I have changed "smb.conf" so it calls a personal script instead of smbldap-useradd, which is : #!/bin/sh useradd smbldap-useradd -w wmachine-name> #end of script Once the this problem has been solved, I could not log into the windows machines belonging to the domain with the users of the ldap database created by the command "smbldap-useradd -a -m ". I could only log with the Admin domain username (whose name is root), created during the "smbldap-populate" process. As in the case of the domain junction, if the user was not already in the "/etc/passwd" file, I could not use with the user of the ldap DB. One thing is strange however. Suppose that I have two users in the ldap DB: foobar and toomuch. I have created foobar ans toomuch with the "smbldap-useradd -a -m " command but foobar already existed in "/etc/passwd". So I can log with foobar but not with toomuch. Once I have been logged into the windows machine with foobar I can nevertheless connect a network drive with a different username, inthis case the toomuch user and without any problems. How could I fix that? I join my "smb.conf" to thid mail. Thanks to All, Julien. # This is the main Samba configuration file.

It makes sense that installing exim would remove other conflictint mail-transfer agents, but there seems to be a serious bug here that it decides to install exim at all when there is another perfectly servicable mail-transfer agent available to be upgraded, and, I presume, explicitly requested by the user. Not sure where the bug *is*, though. A faulty dependency, maybe? A a faulty conflict resolution algorithm? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If both your SM and your Moz are from debs, or both are from mozilla.org
downloads, when there should be no difference in the UI fonts. You may
want to take a look at resolving any DPI issues before trying to adjust
the fonts themselves: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html
Moz and SM and Firefox UI fonts are managed with CSS, something not
particularly easy for a CSS novice to get a handle on. Users can change
them using the file chrome/userChrome.css in your profile directory. The
one you'll want to start with is probably treechildren, in the form used
on: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#usercss , probably
something like "treechildren {font-size: 9pt !important; font-family:
'dejavu sans' !important;}".
The Dom Inspector in your SM Tools menu can help you find the rules that
you want to manipulate, but Domi isn't easy to learn either. The trick
there is to start thus: 1-open the correct mailnews window in Domi;
2-open the tree in the left pane; 3-Set the Object in the right pane to
CSS Style Rules; 4-find the applicable DOM Node in the left pane's
document tree; 5-examine the applicable rule(s) in the right pane;
6-edit your userChrome.css file with an applicable setting or override.
The way CSS is inherited, it can be very difficult to find exactly what
rule causes the computed value that you want to unset or override.
If you are using compatible builds of both apps and yet see this
difference that shouldn't be there, you might want to try visiting
irc://moznet/seamonkey or irc://moznet/mozillazine with Chatzilla and
asking for help finding out why the difference exists, or ask in the
mozillazine.org forums.

Hi, you should modify the variable "HISTSIZE". $ echo $HISTSIZE 500 $ export HISTSIZE=1000 $ echo $HISTSIZE 1000 or to whatever you want.

There are some tricky things building gnucash right now because a lot of machines carry gcc 4.x but gwrap 1.3(?). Do an apt-get build-dep gnucash to get the 1.8.12 dependencies. Also apt-get install and then remove gnucash (unless you want to use 1.8.12 which is current stable) to get a lot of the run-time dependencies. then dpkg -l | grep guile and grep gwrap (g-wrap?). purge anything that is not 1.9x and install the 1.9x versions. then have fun building. I have successfully make distcheck'ed rev 13088 and built the resultant tarball. I'm doing this fairly regularly if you want I can send you a tarball next time I do it up. I'd be happy to make binaries if I knew how... The gnucash team is getting ready to put out 1.9.0 alpha pre-release for 2.0, so watch for that.

Changing fonts in Seamonkey Mail panels
I have been unable to find any play on the mozilla.org site to ask this question, so I am hoping that someone here can help me. I am trying to change the fonts used in the various panels in Seamonkey Mail. I am using the same profile as I use for the Mozilla Suite, but the displayed fonts are not the same (or the display of them is handled differently). The fonts used by the Mozilla Suite are much more readable than those used for Seamonkey. Changes to 'Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts are only supposed to affect web pages, not the folder and message lists of Seamonkey, itself. Any help will be appreciated. -- Marc Shapiro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm no apt- guru by any stretch, but you could --- remove (not purge!) postfix, dist-upgrade, and the install postfix. Thats three steps versus: dist-upgrade, remove exim4, install postfix. 3 steps. as long as you don't purge anything, your configs will remain (you might back them up just in case) and you should be running fine afterwards. ymmv.

If they had the capability and expertise to do that... they wouldn't be asking on a general OS list. :P - you can solve the compromized machines your way and anybody else that wish to reinstall is free to do so, but i bet most cannot tell you how they got in or why or that the new system is more secure and the original problem is still unsolved There is a difference between getting the machine up and running in the simplist manner and closing the hole whence the compromise came. - its not my problem if you don't know how to fix a compromized system, most corps will NOT let you wipe out their machines when you cannot gurarantee their backups is 100% restorable But we're not talking about a corp here, are we? We don't know so we have to presume the lowest common denominator; an inexperienced user of Debian. Business/corporation is optional. BTW, the corporations I've worked for were all for wiping the machine. The last major corp I was in that had half a clue about data security and redundancy had it so the machines were hot swappable. Configueration was pared down to where when a machine needed to be pulled we slapped an IP on a new box and threw it in place. Machine compromised? Pull it and slap a spare in place. Machine having hardware problems? Pull it and slap a spare in place. Hell, need to move machines from one cluster to another... pull 'em, redo the IP, slap it in place. Pretty much anyone who takes security even half seriously is going to separate data out from binaries and make sure the binaries are easily replacable. - most compromized machines are trivial to fix and cleanup, but of course you will want to reinstall since you don't know how to cleanup :-) That's the point. You're presuming experience in a case where it is HARMFUL to presume such! - i'll fix it my way and most corps pays their invoices after their machine was saved and restored Happy for ya.

How come there's .bash_profile and .bashrc on my > home, that aren't read when the systems loads right to X? Or, I can't > set my env, when in X by any other means... It depends how you get the shell to be executed when logging in via XDM/KDM/GDM etc. If you use xterm, the -ls (loginShell) resource governs this. A bit obscure, but understandable if you think it through... I think the history goes something like this.. .profile in the home directory was introduced as a way to get the /bin/sh to execute some commands at login. It was then reaslised that some commands are needed only at initial login (eg setting up the environment), and others (like customising the prompt) need to be invoked every time a shell was started. So one of the environment variables established in .profile could be used to configure a secondary script which was conventionally (at one time) called '.profile.' To cater for differing syntax in differing shells, alternative shells used their own naming scheme for these script files. To simplify system administration, shells were made to look for system wide versions in /etc.. The concept of 'logging in' was then complicated when graphical terminals were added via X as something of an afterthought to Unix. Networking was also an afterthought, so the possibility of other ways of logging in had to dealt with. Now there may be no shell invoked at all when you log in via XDM or equivalent, so your environment must be setup somewhere else, typically .xsession for (as the name implies) an X session.. The shell conventionally knows (or at least used to - havn't looked recently to see if this has changed) if it is being forked by the login process by a magic '-' prefix to argv[0] which was only added by 'login' processes, and this determined if the login script was executed. It used to be the case that a login shell showed up in ps(1) as '-sh'. On my Debian Sarge, logging in on a console tty and starting an xterm on an external X terminal produces: % ps af 2931 tty1 Ss+0:00 -bash 3190 tty1 S 0:00 \_ xterm -display ncd:0 3191 pts/0Ss 0:00 \_ -bash 3197 pts/0S 0:00 \_ bash 3198 pts/0R+ 0:00 \_ ps af Which suggests to me that xterm is starting bash as though it is a login shell (-ls option). The last bash was started manually for contrast. Check the '-ls' option in 'man xterm' for more on this option... There may be other complications that I havn't kept up with, or are Debian or shell specific. It is something that usually takes a bit of trial and error to get right on a new system.. It is sometimes interesting to put a 'echo myname' on the first line of each of your script files to see which are being executed and in what order when you login in different ways... Might be nice to improve this some time - for example defining a standard filename and syntax for specifying the general environment initialization, and leave the shell scripts for shell specific customization...

If you are behind a NAT router, that is the place that you have to forward ports. Ask your ISP how to log in to your router. Get a manual for the router online, if necessary. There is undoubtedly a configuration page for port forwarding. You want to forward the port that you select with the proper protocol (for Azureus that's both TCP and UDP) to the local IP of your machine. If the machine uses DHCP to get an IP, most routers will forward to the machine name. If it won't, you'll need to assign the machine a static IP to permit port forwarding. Since the way you do this is different for every router, I can't really give you anything more specific.

Because X isn't bash, or any other Bourne shell. So why in the world would it source Bourne-style rc files? *Bash* will read one or the other, or both, depending on the conditions laid out in the INVOCATION section of the man page... but not until you actually *run* a copy of bash. If you want environment variables set for your X session, then set them in your ~/.xsession file. That will work, unless you use gdm/kdm, which ignore established standards (after all, they're Gnome and KDE) and implement their own, separate X startup that only root can modify. No doubt one of the umpteen idiots who think the X startup should source the user's bash configuration will chime in at this point. Ask them the same thing they get asked every time... what if the user doesn't use bash? Even if he does use a Bourne shell, how are you going to deal with the difference between a login shell, and a non-login shell, having different configurations? Their answer usually involves the user becoming root and messing with the X configuration. Well, if the user can't control it, you've already lost.

Install problems: USB, SATA on Dell 3100
I'm trying to install debian 3.1 on a dell dimension 3100. By using the 2.1.2006 testing release, I can get my hard disks recgonized. However, the USB keyboard is seen by the installation program, but once the installed system boots the keyboard is not seen. I have to use a USB keyboard and mouse, as the traditional PS/2 ports no longer exist on the 3100! Any suggestions?

RE: moving to unicode
I am afraid the problem is still there - hidden behind the functions and wrappers and makes the UTF-8 perform poorly compared to UCS2. The libc/Qt/whatever code will still have to do the nasty things I mentioned previously behind the scenes leading to performance/clarity/design inferiority. There is just one big reason for UTF-8 - the ASCII compatibility. The rest is all disadvantages. Anyway, UTF-8 is better then nothing (ISO-88x) and there is a big friction of the ASCII Internet/world to changing things drastically. I would not dare to call UTF8 a modern system - it is a trade off between having UNICODE and the old ASCII at the same time and it is payed for by implementation uggliness and complexity. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 3:57 PM > To: Žáček Kryštof; debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: moving to unicode > > ?á?ek Kry?tof wrote: > > I just second this.

I didnt get it correctly.Could you please
make me understand?
I would appreciate if you could help me with
some examples.
As far as i inderstand if we try to
instantiate a template class apart from the file where the template clsass has
been defined there is a issue.
You have told one workaround.But i didnt get
it.
Suppose if i include first.h in main.c
and try to instantiate the template i get errors.Where should i write as per
your suggestion?
first.h
-
template> class first
{> private:> ...> public:> first()>
~first()> };> template>

2.7.xBasically g++ fails to instantiate templates properly (or at all)
ifthe definition is in a separate file to the instantiation; so
thelinker reports "undefined references".The work around is to
explicitly instantiate the template withwhatever classes you are are going
to use in the same file as thedefinition. So in your example:

RE: moving to unicode
I just second this. Only IMO the UCS2 (fixed two bytes per character) would be much more appropriate to a modern UNICODE system. The variable length (2 to 3 bytes ) UTF-8 encoding can marginally save some space (depending on language) but introduces nasty overhead to character handling - even the most trivial string functions have to check for character boundaries (e.g. even detecting the string length itself is not a trivial operation in UTF-8 !!! or having a fixed length buffer you can never tell in advance how many characters will fit into it - it depends on the language again). Windows used to have mulitbyte characters in the past (Win95,98) but luckily managed to get rid of this with Windows NT and higher and now both the kernel and userspace is UCS2. Why should Linux again enter the blind alley of Windows 95?
