mounting iso9660 as rw

2002-05-27 Thread Dan Kenigsberg

This may sound odd at first, and useless later, but I would like to add some
files to a iso9660 filesystem.

To be more exact, I have an iso of a CD and would like to update it with my own
stuff. I tried to loop-mount it with rw option and even have

/c/redhat/valhalla-i386-disc3.iso on /rh73/d3 type iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop2)

in my mount output. However, when I try to write inside /rh73/d3 I keep getting
Read-only file system message.

I think I could copy all the files from the iso, and my own, and rebuild the
whole bunch, but I just don't like the idea.

Any other suggestions? Am I missing a fundamental of loop/iso9660 that prevents
this from happening?

I'm not familiar with the details of the iso9660 filesystem, so maybe somebody
who is can correct me, but here is my guess: making a iso9660 filesystem
modifiable means you have to handle non-contiguous files; When enlarging an
existing file, or when deleting one file and adding another file of different
size or several files, you would get non-contiguous files.

This will mean you need to have some sort of structures in the filesystem
which point from one block in some file to the next block in that file.
normal filesystems have that, of course, but I'm not sure iso9660 does,
seeing that it was always meant only for writing once using a utility like
mkisofs(8) (but as I said, maybe I'm wrong). Correct me if I'm wrong, but
even CD-RW were meant for *rewriting* the whole disk, not for changing a
single file on the CD (note that there's also the notion of a session on
the CD, but I don't think that that would help you).

Maybe someone can recommend (or google) a good document about the iso9660
filesystem.

Why wait for a company? Let's do it ourselves. Remember that film about

Well, I made some queries and we can get the Cinematec small theather
for 2 hours on some Friday for 2,000NIS. Probably can get it for 3 hours
for 2,500NIS or less if we want to.

The movie screening rights (one time for Linux freaks) is 400$ ~
2000NIS.

Which means we already got a place and 1 interesting activity.

So, let's add two or three intresting talks and call it Yom Iyoon.

Whomever covers the theater costs gets to be called Official Sponser
and the right to present a talk about his favorite marketing
hype^H^H^H^H^H^Hinteresting subject. 

Whomevers covers the costs of the movie screening gets to be called
Official Sponser and the right to shoiwer marketing maetrials on all
participants.

Compaq/Ligad, Aduva and Eli Marmor gets first refusal rights for the
above rolls thanks to their previous generous donations to IGLU
activities. Anyone else who contrinuted something and I've missed gets
the same right as long as he or she promises not to open a long thread
about it on linux-il... ;-)

Actcom get to be official ISP and have a booth at the place because
they finance the IGLU server and mirrors and because I like them ;-) 

Which leaves us in need for two intersting talks (assuming one will be
presented by one of the official sponsors) 

Personally, I would very much like these to to be highly technical
discussions. 

Maybe the IBM team that did the OpenOffice Hebrewivisation can present a
talk about the technical challanges and solution of this?

Comments? anyone here interested or am I the only mad man here? ;-)


I think the timing now is important since MS is going to change their 
 license 
 to MS License version 6, and by switching some of the servers/services
 to 
 Linux could save lots of money to companies and can encourage
  companies to 
 test/adopt/deploy Linux..

sigh When will you stop seeing everything through the narrow view of
'beating MS'? Who cares? they are simply irrelvent. We like Linux, which
mean we'll enjoying organiing a day talking about Linux, why do we need
anything more?

Here we go again:

Yes, that's what I want to see too. If we'll organize a Linux day then it 
shouldn't be a bunch of Linux users talking to a bunch of Linux users. We 
should use it to promote Linux between the people that don't yet use it.
Can linux help you as an Engineer? If yes, then get someone who uses Linux 
to tell how can it be used instead of a MS platform for Engineering purposes.
Can Linux help you as an accountant? Show that too.
Show people how IBM, Compaq, SUN and other companies help Linux in Israel 
and how can these people benefit from moving to Linux and using these products.

Show how can Linux be used in education.
Linux is used in the IDF, perhaps we can get someone to talk about that too 
(non classified uses) .

In general, the idea is to promote Linux among people who don't know it. 
It'll take more than 2-3 hours,  but why can't we have a linux DAY? lets 
say from 9AM to 2-4PM.

for this alone, but how about: a couple of experts talking about their

Linux people can learn HOW to to do stuff they weren't aware can be done

 and how can these people benefit from moving to Linux and using these products.

OK, how about something like this for a 'working draft schedule' of such
a day. This is just an example to try and show that we can combine the
'sides':

0. A short introduction to Linux from the perpective of someone who does
not know much about Linux that explains what it is, who we are, where to
go to learn more.

During this introduction Linux-people can be outside (well except the
speaker ;-) mingeling.

1. 'Official' opening. Say thanks to our sponsors and oteh rniceties.

2. A lecure by a representative of one of our sponsors, which will
include a brief general introduction to the full range of Linux products
and services it offers and then a longer and more technical focus on one
or two of them, preferbly something new that is not very known in teh
general Linux using crowd.

non-Linuxers will get to know that the sponsor supports Linux and learn
a little about it's offering while Linux people will learn something new
too.

3. A lecture from the Hebrew porting team in IBM that will describe the
porting effort of OpenOffice adn Mozzila. it would be best if the talk
will include both technical details (giving some light on how difficult
or easy is is to Hebrewvise Linux software, for the benefit for both
Linux old timers and the non Linux croewd) *and* the more business side
of the whole deal - why, for example, IBM has chosen to invest money on
adding hebrew support to products that seemingly belong to two other
companies, (Sun and AOL), which will shed some light on the kind of
synergic proccesses happening inside the Linux community (for a
definition of this community that includes open source and free software
at large of course) that help to drive Linux development faster then any
other path and what does this can mean to people using people (this is
mainly a Linux marketing bit, but it focuses on a specific exmaple that
serves to explain a very fundemental thing about Linux which is usually
missed on new comers)

4. A lecture by, for example, your truly about building embdded systems
using Linux. Again, maintain a good mix of both technical details (what
you need to do, problems and how to overcome them, some examples) that
will help the people familier with Linux but not with embedded and at
the same time say some stuff about why Linux?, how does *this* issue
is handled in Linux (e.g. real time) etc. that will cater more to the
embedded savvy but non Linux crowd.

5. Screening of Revolution OS. A chance for us to sing along with the
GNU/Stallmans the Free software song and for the non linux people to
get to know who and what we are.

OK... I think you've got the idea.


 In general, the idea is to promote Linux among people who don't know it. 

Well, if we can also combine this (and I think we can) with learning
something new about Linux and having fun, I'm all for it. A simply sell
sell sell marketing event I don't want to attent or help organise and I
have serious doubt will even do much good. Remember we're doing this for
fun, kids.

 It'll take more than 2-3 hours,  but why can't we have a linux DAY? lets 
 say from 9AM to 2-4PM.

heheh.. big eyes you got Peleg, no? That's ok, just let's make sure we
can also swallow. Organizing these things is a LOT of headache. I know,
I've helped do a few of them in the past.

Seroiously Hetz,

I've tried this before. I tried to turn IGLU into an Amuta (which
basically means all that you're saying). It failed and now I understand
that it was wrong to try then. 

Let's *DO* things first and then when we'll see that not having a formal
body blocks us from  *DOING* stuff (as opposed to talking about doing
stuff) then will be the Right Time(tm)to do this. Up till now I haven't
seen this happening, so all this is just overhead (just think of all the
flame wars that will arise from internal politics).

And another thing - if we do it my way, the right people to be handed
the jobs you described will become obvious because they will be the ones
doing the stuff anyway... right now elections will be nothing more then
a pissing contest.

Just my 2c,

time, and done before some management work - after all, this is a title and 
this person would be interviewed in case the media wants to ask questions 
about Linux...

If there's something that I want to become - is a spokeman - to answer the 
media about questions, and work with the elected president to setup IGLU 
meetings, etc...

Why a finance officer? because I do want to approach companies who's using 
Linux to make a revenue, and ask for some money and/or hardware 
contributions. Today, to setup an IGLU meetings we practically need to beg 
for favors from companies and when you get the place, you need to buy stuff 
like kibood, get accessories (Audio stuff, maybe a projector). Also, it 
would allow us to buy some hardware (like hard drives) for the IGLU server 
and maybe even add few more servers, add some hosting on other ISP's, etc..

 What's wrong with continuing to run IGLU as an anarchy?

Nothing is wrong, but I think it's time we have an organized Linux users group 
(like SVLUG - only smaller)...

The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and

court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates 
that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen

Re: OO: rpm libc error

2002-05-27 Thread Eliran

Hello group,
I have finally managed to get Open Office.
I got both debs and rpms + the libstlport4.5.gcc3-4.5.3-5.i386.rpm.
When tried to install the package (rpm -ivh) I got a dependencies
message about GCC_3 and stuff, so I inserted my RH7.2 CD and installed
the appropriate rpms from both installation CD's.

After installing all the required packages I left with one dependency:

error: failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GCC_3.0)   is needed by bidi-openoffice.org-1.0.0-5

I looked for glibc and libc (or libcap in the cd's) but these versions
were already installed, and gcc3 was installed too.

Before a minute I downloaded glibc-2.2.5-34.i386.rpm which suppose
to come with RH7.3 (from rpmfind.net) and in the html information
file I saw it *provides*:  libc.so.6 

When trying to install this glibc I see it needs glibc-common
which is 10 M ! (not enough bandwidth for it)

Is it really important for me to download these ?

In OO installation HTML file (downloaded from IGLU too) it says that it
successfully compiled on RH7.1 , did other rpms required installation too ?

Eliran

Hi, ppl!

I know I am mostly a lurker and that's why I don't write much, but
nevertheless here are my 2 nis:

Hetz, I understand what you are trying to do, maybe it will work, maybe not.
In general I think that IF it will work, it will take a LOT of time to
convince someone that Linux-IL is a serios organization. A lot's of ppl
don't trust new companies / amutot / whatever and the fact that no one has
ever heard 'officially' about IGLU is enough to treat it as newbie :-)))

About elections: like already being said, irrelevant, let's do something and
then elect. What I do think that needs to be done is elections for doing
what you proposed or not. We all belong to the list and ppl have the right
to decide what will become of it, before you mail the amuta papers.

As for donations, I have an old 266 Alpha with no HDD, maybe you want it ?
Also as a person who is now running my own company, I can advertise Linux
better.
That's the kind of contribution I can do for now ( no money :( )

  So, is there? if not - is there some company who think it can arrange
  something like this? (IBM? Sun? others?)

 Why wait for a company? Let's do it ourselves. Remember that film about
 Linux (Revoloution OS) we discussed the other day?

 Well, I made some queries and we can get the Cinematec small theather
 for 2 hours on some Friday for 2,000NIS. Probably can get it for 3 hours
 for 2,500NIS or less if we want to.

 The movie screening rights (one time for Linux freaks) is 400$ ~
 2000NIS.

 Which means we already got a place and 1 interesting activity.

 So, let's add two or three intresting talks and call it Yom Iyoon.

 Whomever covers the theater costs gets to be called Official Sponser
 and the right to present a talk about his favorite marketing
 hype^H^H^H^H^H^Hinteresting subject.

 Whomevers covers the costs of the movie screening gets to be called
 Official Sponser and the right to shoiwer marketing maetrials on all
 participants.

 Compaq/Ligad, Aduva and Eli Marmor gets first refusal rights for the
 above rolls thanks to their previous generous donations to IGLU
 activities. Anyone else who contrinuted something and I've missed gets
 the same right as long as he or she promises not to open a long thread
 about it on linux-il...;-)

 Actcom get to be official ISP and have a booth at the place because
 they finance the IGLU server and mirrors and because I like them ;-)

 Which leaves us in need for two intersting talks (assuming one will be
 presented by one of the official sponsors)

 Personally, I would very much like these to to be highly technical
 discussions.

 Maybe the IBM team that did the OpenOffice Hebrewivisation can present a
 talk about the technical challanges and solution of this?

 Comments? anyone here interested or am I the only mad man here? ;-)

  license

They are still in development, and the QT/KDE frontend is still KDE2. It is

 Second, I don't understand where you got the idea that the goverment is
 planning on giving the whole jackpot to a newly founded amuta of people
 that linuxam omanutam. According to that article, the committee (linux-il
 is NOT that committee) is going to give money to programming-groups in
 commercial companies and universities working on making Hebrew free
 software.

And why do u think the Amuta should get the money? it could be possible that 
the goverment ask the Amuta about company or companies who speciallize for 
XYZ projects and the Amuta should connect the goverment with the company (or 
companies). It could also be possible that those companies will need to give 
a status report every month about the development status of the project to 
the Amuta, which will report back to the goverment.

 I suppose that a company like IBM, which has provably done good work in
 this area, is going to get a substantial chunk of the money to persuade it
 to continue its work. Someone in one of the universities might get a grant
 to sit for 6 months to create a super-duper Hebrew Linux distribution. But
 I don't see why the government would ever want to pass substantial amounts
 of money to linux-il, amuta or not.

That depends. I see nothing wrong in getting the goverenment to pay for
something that eventually will save expences for Israel as a whole and
maybe even for the country's budget.

I realaize that getting money from the goverenment is not an easy task.
However, the blessing of the goverentment (even without the money) is
useful.

That is: I do not expect the goverenment to finance IGLUs meetings and
such. But sponsering develpoment (and maybe maintinance) of software is
certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

 This may sound odd at first, and useless later, but I would like to add some

 To be more exact, I have an iso of a CD and would like to update it with my own

 /c/redhat/valhalla-i386-disc3.iso on /rh73/d3 type iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop2)
 
 in my mount output. However, when I try to write inside /rh73/d3 I keep getting
 Read-only file system message.
 
 I think I could copy all the files from the iso, and my own, and rebuild the
 whole bunch, but I just don't like the idea.

But this seems to me to be the only clean way.
Of course, it might won't work for you at all (e.g. if the image is of
a bootable CD which you can't create yourself, such as an NT installation
CD).

 
 Any other suggestions? Am I missing a fundamental of loop/iso9660 that prevents
 this from happening?

Yes. Without being an iso9660 expert, as I understand, you will have to
move around a lot of things to update an iso image. What you *can* do,
which might or might not help you, is create another session, to be
burned after the image you already have. See the options '-C' and '-M'
of mkisofs. Note, I havn't tried this myself.

You might also find UDF (google) interesting. It's writable, is the
standard for DVD, I think works automagically in recent windows versions,
and seems to be in stable beta state in linux. I never tried it myself,
even readonly.

Good luck, and I think many would like to hear your experience when
you have conclusions.

I know that for me, this happens when I use APM: ACPI solves this (And 
some other bug in the ThinkPad i1200 BIOS).

I believe full ACPI support is in the 2.5 kernel, and you can apply 
some patches to the 2.4 as well (I use a patched 2.4, usually works as 
it should).

Searching Google hints this may be it, as the generic XFree86 4.2.0 
server does this to the hardware cursor when APM is on -- using a 
software cursor solves this.

Makes a lot of sense. APM does not fully work with my laptop, which wants 
ACPI. Matters got worse in RH7.3 over the RH7.2 updates kernels, and although 
I used to be able to suspend, now if I even shut the lid, the screen will go 
sleeping with no apparent chance of coming back. Lukily the keyboard still 
accepts input, so that alt-ctrl-f1 followed by reboot will work. (I don't 
need to do ctrl-z because I wrote a one line script that replaces startx and 
calls startx with some as a backround process, redirecting stderr to a file. 
Much better for diagnostic purposes).

So, what do I need to do to patch the kernel for ACPI? How long does it take 
to recompile it? (may become a habit, to keep up with updates)

Do the patches change when a new kernel comes out, even if the to be patched 
code wasn't touched in the new release? Can I combine all my settings in a 
file so that next time when I recompile a kernel it knows what my preferences 
are and automates the process?

Qt offers two flavors of data in the clipboard simultaneously (via
QTextDrag, if you care):
PLAIN and text/plain -- in the locale's encoding (check your
locale's encoding by running 'locale charmap')
text/plain; charset=UTF-8 -- in the Unicode encoding, regardless of

Most old apps will try to get PLAIN or text/plain.
Unicode apps (like Qt apps, and probably Mozilla / GTK+ 2.0) would try
to get the UTF-8 flavor -- so any language would be transfered
flawlessly regardless of your locale.

 Hmm, so it's a meeting between Linux people.. nice...

 If I remember correctly, Sun at Herzelia Pituach had a nice place for
 meetings, although I'm not sure at that. I do think that IBM Israel have
 something like that, and Aduva had (when I was working there) a nice
 meetings room - any one from those companies can check if his company can
 contribute their place for a day meeting?

 And speaking of meeting - please read my next email which will arrive to
 you in 5 minutes.

excuse me for barging in like that, but its been a while since i saw an idea 
comes to the world, and then gets murdered 2 minuets later.
was i stupid enough to think that one of the main causes of linux users 
(worldwide, and specially in Israel) is to promote linux and help transfer MS 
users to Linux ? does the fact that we love linux help it get anywhere ?
personally, i think that Hetz's basic idea about a commercial Yom iyoon is 
better, and will serve linux better then just another get together of some 
already linux users.

lets try to take this cause one more step forward, and arrange something that 
non-linux users can benefit from, and maybe join in.

Re: Elections

2002-05-27 Thread Nathan Orenstein

 The DMCA is not a law in Israel, so whether or not any of us are breaking
 it is totally irrelevant.
Until the president of the amuta goes to give a lecture in the US, presume.

 I am not violating any cellular company's ToS. I don't do it myself, and
 my sendsms's license clearly prohibits its users from doing so either.
I seriously doubt that would stop Orange from suing the amuta if they
felt not enough people are reading the banner ads they have on their site.

What has to be done is obvious. 
The IGLU should be divided into a Political and a Militant arm.
The politicians (i.e., the Amuta) must issue statements condemning any and all
behavior that even hints at violation of any laws or ethical rules.
In the meantime, the militants could continue to violate all rules and laws with
impunity and issue statements that they are doing it to revenge Microsoft's new
licensing arrangements (for example).
This seems to work very well in the current world. The Politicians are supported
while the Militants are free to act as they wish.

 this might be a good time to do that - as you've probably read, the
 government is considering funding hebrew open source projects.
 http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/1,7340,L-1904994,00.html

 and speaking of funding - the yom iyoon that is being discussed on a
 separate thread can actually be an IGLU fund raising event.

this means to set-up the amoota till then, so it can be actually used for fund 
raising by the time this yom iyoon will launch.

how long from today is this yom iyoon planned to take place ? weeks ? months ? 
seems to me that we will not be able to arrange everything in a reasonable 
period of time (given the fact that most people here cant deal with it 24\7)

 Hi List,
 
  
 
 I'm trying to use a 3com 3c905b card with an old 10m hub.
 
 It seems that no matter what I do(force Half+10mb) that card still 
 prints out that he think that there is an duplex mismatch, and simply 
 unable to transmit anything.

Disconnet the card from the hub.
Restart the network /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S10network stop/start
Then reconnect the card to the hub

We used to have an all 3Com network and we saw this problem a lot with the old hubs, 
especially with one series of 3x509's that were produced in 1987/8.

 - yba

 
  
 
 Any other machine connected to that hub automatically use 10baseT HD.
 
  
 
 Communication is possible, but 95% of the packets are lost.
 
 I tried to raise the debug level, but nothing really was there.
 
  
 
 however it works perfect with M$ :-(
 
  
 
 Could it be a driver problem?
 
  
 
 Thanks,
 
  
 
 Ohad.

 Nothing much, just thinking that Linux movement in Israel should get a step
 further - with things like:

 Get some money from the goverment, get some funding for Hebrew applications
 development on Linux - stuff like that..

 Get some Linux publicity with the business world, and in the media (TV,
 Radio [like Inter-bet], papers)...

 Whats wrong with that?

 Again and again - if people are so against it - then fine, we'll do it (the
 people that want this) anyway and other could join..

count me in as the people that want this.
and guys - a wake up call :
nothing is going to change \ advance with linux unless we will do something 
about it.
i don't remember i better timing then this for doing something about advancing 
linux. the government is actually showing intrest publicly. when did this 
happen before ?!?

its about time that something similar to this will be done. i am all for it, 
and i think that we should it soon.
