RE: SEMI OT: Where to get SIP phones?

Orange's smartbox has an analog interface (which they connect to your
existing POTS line) and a DECT interface. They don't give you SIP phones.

Subject: SEMI OT: Where to get SIP phones?

Looking back at an old email I sent to this list, around 5 years ago,  
I was commenting about a device for connecting a POTS phone to a USB  
port.

Someone commented that it was a waste of money because you could buy  
SIP phones for under 300 NIS and posted a link. That link is long dead.
The cheapest I could find were listed on Zap for 600 NIS.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a source of SIP phones in Israel,  
preferably cheap.

While expensive, fancy phones would be nice for business, cheaper  
ones, for home or small office use would be more of what I want. DECT  
or WiFi phones, would be good too.

What does Orange give it's VoIP customers? Is that a SIP phone, or is  
just a DECT phone connected to their SIP router (OBOX)?

BTW, if anyone has an old or used SIP or CISCO phones they would like  
to find a home for, I would appreicate them, and possibly can pay a  
little money for them.

Thanks, Geoff.

Actually, if you look hard enough, you can find a list of open source 
applications installed on the Smartbox in Orange's web site (Asterisk is not 
listed there):

Little bird just told me that the  SmartBox is a SIP PBX, 
It even uses asterisk (Don't ask me the version since I don't know).
the wonders of #asterisk ...

Depends how many you intent to buy , as far as I remember there are the 25$ a 
piece option (Chinese one ).
BTW afaik the SPA901 are still on business (350 NIS)

To add my list:

* verify there are as least as possible users on the machine. Unused user?
either purge or disable (login shell set to /bin/false or the like; home
dir set to /not/here).
* verify users on machine not have easy to guess password.
* indeed move sshd to listen to its NON default port
* shutdown and remove any unneeded software/services including and
specifically any web applications that are not used.
* keep your installed applications updated and keep an eye on software
updates. I once had an unsuccessful break-in attempt that was trying to
exploit some bug in a webmail application that was not used. The bug was
two weeks old at the time. Both of the break in cases I described were of
my 24/7 home machine I had running for years (but not anymore), not some
high traffic IP address so this is rather common these days.

 Just check your machine carefully - I once had a break-in that was caused
 from a stupid chain of mistakes: i switched sshd to listen on its default
 port (22) for some time (instead of some arbitrary port as it was used to
 be) + router forwarded 22 connections to the linux machine (as needed for
 SSH to work) + yes, there was a little issue of a test user I once
created,
 named test with password test... . Violla! a robot sounded the
bingo!
 alarm somewhere... . I had to reinstall my machine (which wasn't that
bad,
 but still...).
 
 Lesson? carefully check your machine's entry points and as much as you
 can - try not to assume things to be in certain status before checking
that
 (like, I don't have stupid test users on machines - check your
configured
 users) as that can fail you. In other words - don't presume anything.
Check
 it, to evaluate your status.

open port problem

Hi all,

I have been having many connection related problems and the cable
company came and changed my modem, my wires and from not being able to
connect at all, I am now able to connect.

However, I now get 50% packet loss, Hot checked and said the problem is
that I have open ports.

How do I determine what the problem is? I wonder if I have been hacked?

I am running gentoo, and building software really needs a stable
connection.

How do I debug this?

 You could start by telling us why you think you have 50% packet loss.
 This would help us tell you where to look.
 
 As a start check the MTU on your ppp connection. If it's too high, you 
 will get lots of what looks like lost packets. 
This all started when I tried installing yellowtab zeta, (what a waste)
And my lin just never worked right after that.

I had my cable modem and some wires changed.

ping got me 60% 62% and 50% packet loss.

The cable company had me disconnect the eth cable from the modem and
things went temporarily back to normal.

The tech rep said she say I had some ports open.

I never fiddled with settings that effect open ports so it is all new to
me.
thanks
for any help,

Hi all,

for over a week I had no internet.

I just couldn't connect. I am using ubuntu dapper and after trying out
zeta my journal got messed up as did many things.

now it seems internet is back.
I install Gentoo and couldn't get a thing to work without internet. 

now the question.
I read the Gentoo manual but couldn't find a place that clearly showed
me how to install pptp/pppd from the live cd or stage 3.

without internet connection Gentoo seems quite useless.

And even though it lies on what was an empty partition
I wonder if it will be worth the effort to keep it.

I guess if I could get pppd and pptp set up I might consider.

What mileage/worth has anyone found with Gentoo?

Should I sweat it out or abandon ship?

Re: Linux on PDA in Israel

2006-06-23 Thread Aaron
* Arieh Skliarouk [EMAIL PROTECTED] [060427 21:13]:
 Hello,
 
 Sometime ago I bought Linux based PDA - Zaurus SL-5500. 

Did you buy it in Isreal?

I am interested in a zauris.

Thanks,
Aaron

I have installed
 OpenZaurus 3.5.4 on it and using it for various tasks:
 * books reader (with cyrillic)
 * mp3 and ogg player
 * dictionary (english-russian)
 * some blessings holder (I read them through opera on locally installed
 apache+php).
 * addressbook
 
 I am still not sure whether I can use it as GPS navigator in Israel: several
 programs exists, but AFAIK none provides nor maps for Israel, nor ability to
 import them from some other program.
 Do you know of any way to use the PDA as GPS navigator?
 
 The OpenZaurus has package opie-multikey, that provides keymaps for
 on-screen keyboard to type international symbols and send unicode codes to
 applications. Unfortunately, the opie-multikey program lacks hebrew keymap
 file. I have no idea of the keymap file format, and thus attached russian
 and arabic keymaps file in hope for someone to recognize the format.
 Is there somewhere an ready to use opie-multikey format for hebrew?
 
 Upon completion of previous task, the next task I would like to use the PDA
 for is Hebrew-English dictionary. The OpenZaurus has opie-odict and zbedic
 as dictionary engines, but no hebrew dictonaries.
 Do you know of any public domain hebrew-english dictionaries?
 
 I have found several popular blessings on internet in unicode format of
 various quality. Most of them lack nikud, many are for Sfaradim and all of
 them are not interactive. I wrote ugly hack on php that consultes with
 hebcal [taken from debian ARM distribution] on RoshHodesh and inserts Yaale
 veYavo into Birkat haMazon, but that is.
 Are there any public domain blessings in open (read: plain unicode) format?
 
 The following is not so Israel related, but still...
 
 My wife sometimes steals the PDA for books reading, so I am looking for new
 one. And I want it to be SmartPhone, e.g. to include phone capabilities. The

languages language

2006-04-27 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

A friend of mine gave me a preinstalled zencart on his server.
But I need hebrew installed.

All over zencart it says to install it in the /languages directory,
but his install only has a /language directory.


Additionally when we installed the hebrew language pack zencart died.

we were also confused what to put in the new language form on the
admin for zencart:
The options are:
Name:

Code:

Image:

Directory:

Sort Order:


I didn't find directions telling me what to put here and whether it
matters at all.


Also if I enter a directory name in Directories, ie language, I get a
doubled /languages/language, so what am I supposed to put?


Thanks
Aaron

zencart php question

2006-04-21 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

I am trying to set up a shopping cart site for my son using zen cart.

When I try running the install program I get the following:

Warning: main(version.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in
/var/www/aamehl/aamehl.net/yehci.com/zen-cart/zc_install/includes/application_top.php
on line 25

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'version.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in
/var/www/aamehl/aamehl.net/yehci.com/zen-cart/zc_install/includes/application_top.php
on line 25

I gather I need to set some parameter in the configure.php file?

What I did was create a zencart subfolder on the remote server to test
things out until he gets a site name etc.

could this be a problem?

Thanks
Aaron

booting lin from usb drive

2006-03-18 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

Is there anyone on the list who has booted lin from a usb drive?

What distro have you used?
Is there a way to run win and switch to the usb drive click on the
icon and run lin inside of win?

I remember years ago some commercial product call lin4win is it still
alive?

I know for a fact that a few apps I want to run will not run under
cygwin.


I have a one gig usb card which works just like a usb key and thought
it would be a nice alternative.

But before I try I would like to hear from someone who has done it.

thanks

 What do you mean switch to the USB drive? Once it's connected it looks like
 just another mass-storage device to both Linux and Windows.
 
 coLinux is famous for making it possible to run Linux under Windows, and
 it's open-source.  I don't know where it stands today in comparision
 to the other
 virtualization solutions which popped up since.

 I think it's still alive. I saw an interview with the manager on some web site
 a few months ago.

 Just try and report us the results. There is nothing to loose here.
 
 But you should do your homework for yourself.

Re: booting lin from usb drive

2006-03-18 Thread Aaron
Well I didn't find a lin4win, but I stumbled across colinux.

http://www.colinux.org/?section=home

Which lets you run win and lin concurrently which sounds like what I
wanted.

I will still need to see how intrusive it is.

I want the ability to run lin on occasion at work, but I don't want to
get anyone upset with me.

I will first try the usb route and if it is a no go move on from
there.

 Hey Aaron :)
 
 pscp from putty is a command line utility, without GUI!
 So if you're waiting for a dialog you're out of luck!
 
 Just open a command prompt and run it. Should work right away and is pretty 
 easy to use (its similar to scp).
 
 Give it a try!

qa question

2006-02-26 Thread Aaron
HI all,
We are trying to set up qa for Denemo (denemo.sourceforge.net)

We need to test the code, but I think we have that covered.

testing program use:
we have programs to automate mousemenu use.

Denemo is however very keyboard centric.

What we are looking for is a way to take keybindings and have them
perform the actions and then check the results.

I thought of  key stroke recording, but google gave me a bunch of
hardware devices.

What would be the nicest is to take the denemo keybinding file and
somehow use it to initiate the keystrokes.

Is this possible?
Is there a testing suite/enviroment that will permit all types of
testing, including the keystrokes, which is FOSS?

Thanks
Aaron

denemo script help

2005-12-29 Thread Aaron

Hi all,

I write documentation for denemo (denemo.sourceforge.net). Denemo is very 
keyboard centric with many keybindings and the ability to customize the 
keybindings very easily.

I was creating docbook charts of the keybindings by hand, but with the new 
increased development pace the keybindings change often.

I have an example of keybinding charts and a handcoded docbook file. Is there 
some kind perl or pythoner out there who could offer a script which will help 
spit out docbook charts from the keybinding charts?

what is needed is to convert the file to a docbook table and add the header and 
footer stuff, then translate the numbers in the keybinding file into human 
readable names Ctrl, Alt, Shift etc.

One problem is that not all functions have bindings and some functions have 
more than one binding.


I am attaching two files: speedy.keymaprc and keymaprc.xml 

Thanks
Aaron

hebrew in regular kunbuntu

2005-12-24 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

I just switched over to kubuntu from debian.
on my debian box I added the sources of the debian hebrew project and installed 
the system fixes.

My question is whether I should try this with kubuntu or attempt to do things 
manually?

if manually could someone remind me where the xorg file I need to change is 
located and what I must add?
with the debian hebrew config file I was for the first time ever able to read 
hebrew in the console rtl and mutt just worked for me with hebrew.
I saw that there is a hebuntu project but didn't see if they have a similar 
setup file. If so can someone provide me with a sources.list entry?

thanks

Aaron

viop blues

2005-12-04 Thread Aaron
Hi all,
I just signed up for a voip service Directtalk and they sent me a
Telco box and it says that it is a gateway.

In either case the setup screen had me enter my user name password and
actcoms servers address.

but I could never get the device to work.
the light for voice never lit and now when I try connect either
through the web browser or telnet or ping I get the messege network
unreachable.

I am using debian with actcom and cable (hot)

how do I determine where the problem lies?
Is it hardware? or some special setup that i need to do to get it up
and running with linux.

The tech support at directtalk isn't very linux savvy


Thanks
Aaron

 Any hacking i have tried is failing (primarily because i cant get to

Hi all,

I have had this happen to me now three times.
I have been using Demudi. 
When I last installed Demudi it cames with a sources list that showed
debian testing.

But actually after installing many apps I needed they wrote a letter
saying not to use testing.

Now again I have a system that works perfectily.
I have mutt working finally, I have my win4lin setup and my wine setup
java, my scanner/printer etc.


but I can't install applications without dependency hell. You know
what I mean i want to install development stuff but end up with that
giant list of items to remove which includes my entire system. Or just
a deadend where my base packages interfere with installation.


That said, What I want to do is do a backup whereby:

All my settings will be preserved.
the more esoteric apps will be ready for me when I start
(mutt-ng)/win4lin kernel and apps
I will have a clean system based on only one release of debian. 
I would actually like to have the demudi stuff as well.
other

I have usb flash memory cards 1gig and 128mg. I am not sure if this is
enough room to do the backup I need?

What should I use to backup with and how do I ensure that the files
remain uncorrupted?

The other option is a dist upgrade, which I have to date never been
successful with.

Any advice before I dive off the deep end into an empty swimming pool
(taskpool?) would be most appreciated.

 I configured the kernel to have oss and midi loopback (modules sound.o

 I also do not have the file /dev/sndstat nor anything associated to

 Eventually I understood I should have a sequencer installed and that it

making a function for a series of files

2005-11-03 Thread Aaron
Hi all,
I have a pthon script with a function in it that I have used for
renaming single files.

I now want to do it on a series of files.

the main program that uses the function is:

#---
# M a i n   P r o g r a m
#---
# Test run

# strLilyname = lilynameGen( '384-3.ly' ) - Commented this test out - it
generates a lilyname from the file
# strLilyname = lilynameAssign( '384-3.ly', strLilyname ) - Commented
this test out - it assigns the lilyname to the lily file

# This is the test run for the 'batch' function ...
strLilyname = lilynameGenAssign( '[a-z].ly', 'COPY' )
#this is what I tried to have it work on all files but I obviously have
not idea of the correct way to to this
# Alternatively test run: strLilyname = lilynameGenAssign( '',
'RENAME' )
print 
print Lily name =, strLilyname

What should I use to generate this script for a series of files?

  Any other format might mean you are not really running bash, or that
 bash is not really seeing the command you typed (e.g. bad aliases, bad
 readline library, problems with keyboard/X/tty driver, etc.)
 
  And what's a term session? Do you mean an X terminal, ssh/telnet from

 I think what Amos means is that for cd it's a different matter than e.g.
 for ls.
 When you type ls, bash searches for the command on your path, and if
 found runs it in a subprocess. If your path, or the disk containing the
 executable (normally /bin/ls) is broken, you get the message you got below.
   However since cd is an internal command, bash should run it directly
 (there is no 'cd' executable, it's the bash executable that does the
 job), so we'd be very surprised if you see similiar message for the 'cd'
 command too. Were you just giving an example or did you actually see a
 '-bash: cd: command not found'? I can hardly imagine how this could
 happen - unless the bash executable itself is broken.
 
 What's the exact error message? It should be something like
 -bash: exact commandname: command not found
 
 
 
 -bash: ls:command not found
 
   
 
 OK, so we know it's bash, and we know it knows you typed ls (unless
 there are some mysterious unprintables hidden over there), rules out a
 few exotic possibilities.
 What about if you try explicit path: /bin/ls ? Can you access /bin at
 all? I would have said try ls'ing it, but since you don't have ls...
 what happens if you type /bitab? does it complete? if yes, try another
 tab to see what's there...
 
 If there is a working /bin/ls, then it's your PATH. Were the echo
 $PATH results you mentioned before done from a working terminal? If
 yes, try from a non-working one (echo, like cd, is an internal command -
 if it does not work, either you have a bad alias or your bash executable
 is bad).
 
 If you see no /bin or no /bin/ls, indeed the most probable cause would
 be a bad disk/ bad file-system. When this happens, try switching to
 another (working) shell, and see if you can access /bin/ls from there.
 If you can run /bin/df, try /bin/df / and /bin/df /bin.
 It might also be related to user permissions (maybe these shells are
 opened under some special user, that does not have read or exec perms to
 the file) - try running /usr/bin/id ... oops - this would probably not
 be available too - so try locating this shell by carefully examining the
 output of ps -ef from another terminal - note the user id. One more
 general diagnosis tool - if you do locate the shell's process from
 another terminal, you can use 'strace -p process number', then go back
 to the bad term and type /bin/ls -ld /bin/ls to see the syscalls bash
 does when looking for ls.
 Yet another possibility, is that for some reason the shell or the
 terminal is run chroot(8)'ed to some other place - I guess this one is
 too far fetched for now
 
 was from ctrl alt F2
 
 but the same thing on term windows
 
 I us konsole if it matters
 
   
 
 This would have helped to further diagnose had you given a different
 answer to my other question (the exact error message). As it stands it
 probably does not matter.
 
 It happens randomly and often after time when I open a new term.
 Aaron
   
 
 after time - does that mean that it works ok for a while, then the
 same shell stops recognizing commands? 

yes it means it was working and pitom all of a sudden it stopped.
 Or do you simply mean that you
 open a new shell after some time, and the *new* shell is the one that
 does not work? Or - is it that they both stop working, but this does not
 happen unless you open a new terminal.
 
 One more useful technique you can try, especially if you suspect PATH is
 being corruped, is adding debug printings in initialization scripts -
 e.g. /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc,  ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc
 (sometimes it's the initializations scripts that fail, corrupting your
 PATH on the way). But do make sure you remember to remove them once
 your'e done experimenting...

Thanks for the suggestions I will use all the above the next time it
happens

help my bash is gone

2005-10-30 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

I have this strange behaviour that when I open a new term session or
even in an existing term sesstion I will execute a common command such
as ls or cd and the shell returns command not found. usually I can close
that session and open another and things work again, sometimes I must
log out and back in  and sometimes (rarely ) that doesn't help.


I am using demudi which is debian and this once happened while I was
having other problems and I was forced to reinstall since I couldn't use
the command line

Any thoughts on what might be causing this very strange behaviour would
be most appreciated.

kernel building question

2005-10-29 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

I am trying to build a custom kernel for debian and as I am building I
see a ton of scsi drivers, go by.

There is no way I need all these drivers, but how do I determine which
ones I need?

I see that usb storage devices are treated as scsi devices, I also have
one plextor scsi cdrom and two onboard controllers.

I am not sure what else would use scsi, but since I have a good chance
that the kernel I am compiling now may not boot, I would like the next
time I do this to remove as much unneeded things as I can.

In fact is there link to some place that lists what extra uneeded stuff
is put in the vanilla kernel, which I can safely exclude?

Thanks
Aaron

only root finds my scanner

2005-10-23 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

I have a epson cx3200.

I am running debian testing and the scanner is recognized by root.
for the benefit of other usb printer users here is what I did:

The device files used by libusb are located in /proc/bus/usb/
(e.g. /proc/bus/usb/001/003). The exact file name can be found out by
running sane-find-scanner which would print libusb:001:003 in this
case. While setting permissions with e.g. chmod a
+rw /proc/bus/usb/001/003 seems to work, this change is not permanent.
The permissions will be reset when the scanner is replugged or Linux is
rebooted.

One solution to set permissions on-the-fly are the Linux hot-plug tools
that should come with any current distribution. SANE itsself comes with
a hotplug script and related documentation in the tools/hotplug/
directory. Please refer to the README in that directory for the details.

I followed the above and viola

I have a working scanner for regular users
:)

 The document I receive is only one part. The bigger part is the document 
 I need to send back to the client. Will it look the same on the client's 
 machine?

The answer from a technical writer is no, not with MS office, not with
OO, not with anything other than pdf. 

I had a client that no matter what I did if I sent an office 2000
document to them it never looked right. (we were both using office 2000)

That is why pdf is the only or one of the only sure ways of making sure
that what you did will look right on someone elses computer.

Re: Why most people prefer Windows

Well,
I worked as a tecwriter, and there were two shows MS Word and
FrameMaker,

The first is not really a techwriting tool but is used as such, and it
is buggy, and I mean buggy.

The second is a real tool, but a pain to learn and a pain to use.


I personally hate word processors and avoid them if at all possible they
are all bloatware.

That said I use Oo when I need to open and save MS word docs.

For profesional use I use DocBook, from docbook I can make html, pdf,
rtf svg to name a few output formats.

I don't tell clients what I use I just ask them what format they want
the results in. For the final version I send a pdf, so they shouldn't
mess up my hard work.

docbook is a standard, a language MS Word and and Oo are applications
bound to a file format. What do you do with a MS word document that is
corrupted? Cry.

With xml (including Oo) just open the file in a text editor and laugh.

If you are using tables to format with or aligning text with spaces,
then you are inviting trouble.

dependuncey dungeon

2005-09-14 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

my subject unfortuentely says it all.

I am using debian and with a mixed bag of sources.

I upgraded my system to stable (which was previously sarge and stable was 
woody) but didn't change my sources.list.

I hadn't however changed any system files and only removed a few apps.

But my printing was broken so in an attempt to get it to work I tried upgrading 
cupsys and then the dunce factor apt-get complained about a lib it needed but 
wasn't available. When had already done forced the newer packages of cups and 
was with a new set of problems by then.

The bottom line, apt-get complains that inorder to fix the problem it will 
first need to remove e2fsprogs:

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential 
package e2fsprogs due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but 
if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs

but to my sorry I couldn't get it to agree to -o apt::forceloopbreak=true, and 
I am reluctant to manually remove it for fear my partitions will be unreadable.

Any ideas would be most welcome.

Thanks

Re: debian font foibles

Aaron
 
 Maybe run 'fc-cache' ?
that did it.

:)
 
 Alternatively, copy the fonts to a directory under /usr/share/fopnts and
 run 'fc-cache' as root . 
 
 This is for a program that uses fontconfig (most X programs nowadays
 do).
 
  
  I googled for libfreetype and svg and defoma and svg and got nowhere.
 
 defoma is a complicated wrapper Debian has around the multiple fonts
 systems. Unlike fontconfig it doesn't just work. Unless you are
 packaging stuff for Debian, don't waste your time on it.

debian font foibles

Hi all,

I used up my google so I turn to the trusted expertise of linux-il

here is the problem:
I have a svg file created by lilypond that uses svg fonts. Reading the file in 
many svg aware applications shows the file without the fonts.

I copied the svg fonts from /usr/share/lilypond/2.7.8/fonts/svg/ to ~/.fonts 
but they don't appear.

I googled for libfreetype and svg and defoma and svg and got nowhere.

So how do I get my system to know that these svg fonts exist?

Yes hebrew doesn't live as text inside my scribus, If I type hebrew 
the cursor doesn't even move. If import hebrew text I get boxes..

 Are you running it with LANG=he_IL? (Or at least
 LC_CTYPE=he_IL.)
No I have not touched this issue, in the past when I played with this I got 
errors on my debian box. I run an english linux box, I don't want my default 
language to be hebrew.

Next is this what is effecting scribus.
Next this should be done via reconfigure locale in debian or just added to 
.bash_profile?

Hi I did some googling and have a feeling that scribus only accepts open type

what font could I use to test this theory?

I tried again and some fonts work. Although in the scribus text editor it only 
shows one font.

I will need to fiddle a bit more to see what is happening.

Hi again in answer to myself, 

I got hebrew to appear in scribus but only backwards hebrew.
Again has anyone used hebrew in scribus?

If this is indeed the state of hebrew in scribus what is needed for it to 
support bidi?
I want to write to the scribus users and or file a bug report and be able to 
tell them what needs to be done to have scribus support bidi.

Hi all,

The recent versions of lilypond music notation use pango as a backend. songs 
with hebrew lyrics work pretty much out of the box now. But text blocks under 
the music display the hebrew words left to right order but the letters of each 
word are in the correct hebrew order.

I need this to work for a book I am writing. One problem is that the developer 
of lilypond is not a hebrew speaker and is working blindly. The other is that I 
have no idea about pango.

Is there anyone on the list who could help get this working?

thanks

 Isn't this the right way? Music is always writen left-to-right, doing
 it in reverse
 would be like reversing digits in numbers.

yes but the problem is that with a song of many verses the first verse is put 
together with the music and the rest are put under the music in regular hebrew 
order as paragraphs.

That is what isn't working.

 Hello Aaron,
 
 Please clarify better when the Hebrew words are ordered in reverse
 order.
 Do they come in the correct order when they are separated only by
 spaces, and are mis-ordered when there are also punctuation marks
 (comma, period, etc.)?
 Or do the words always appear in reverse order even if there is only
 space between them?
first off the order is off with spaces.
second there is a need to preserve this wrong order for hebrew with the 
notation but for paragraphs of text it should be in normal hebrew order which 
it is not.

Re: Connect to barak 013 through cable (PPTP)

Hey this is exactly my problem, I called the cable company and they couldn't

 Hi,
 One year ago in my previous apartment I had connection problems to the cables.
 After lot of misery I have found that the problem had consisted of two 
 elements:
 
 1. The cable connection is not very stable. In their underlying
 protocol they lose many packets, resulting sometimes in losing *your*
 packets.
 I had cable technicians to my place at least 3 times, messing around
 with the signals strength of the Rx and Tx until they got to something
 which is similar to a stabler connection.
 
 2. The PPP configuration I had was too sensitive. I had to change the
 LCP configuration to do more LCP requests before declaring the
 connection as dead (I think 5 lost packets in sequence) and to
 enlarge the time interval between every LCP packet (to 30 sec. if i
 recall correctly).
 
 After these two elements were fixed, I did not suffer from any
 noticeable disruptions in my connection.
 
 Not sure that this is your problem, but maybe it would help...

Re: chumash for lin?

2005-08-01 Thread Aaron
Hmn,
so much hebrew in the thread but if I understand correctly the idea is to 
produce an eletronic version of a daf in its normal visual layout.

I didn't read the whole thread but if it involves xml/css/xsl-fo I would be 
interested.

There is a gemara my boys used that colors the various parts of a sugia as 
well, which would be interesting.

I actually am less interested in just the plain texts as in programs to drill, 
test and teach these texts.

The reason is that the texts are available albeit not in correctly formatted 
hebrew/aramaic.
But all the development of torah learning/games etc. seems only to be in 
windows.

I haven't checked out the current status of xml and hebrew but this seems to me 
to be a way I would go. 

to create a gemara schema and a script to tag the text and then use either css 
or xsl to format it

Nice but hebrew is my second language so for me to be involved the language of 
communication should be english.
I have a friend who programs torah stuff for windows I will ask him if he is 
interested in working on some lin projects, although he thinks about $ so I am 
not sure.

 Thanks for the reply.
 
 The project is basically about making a program to display the daf,
 from a text file that includes the text and the display data (in
 apposed to an image).
 There were thoughts about using CSS, but i am don't think it covers
 what the program needs (if you think it can, please tell me).
 
 The project isn't supposed to be used for different displays of the
 daf such as coloring, it is only for displaying the daf, it, but it
 will probably be easy to add stuff later if someone wants.
 
 I agree too that Linux doesn't have enough development in this area,
 and I would like to change that of course.

fluxboxhelp

2005-07-27 Thread Aaron
Hi, 
Are there any fluxbox users out there?
I am having a problem.
When I start applications in fluxbox they are giant, some of them behave once I 
hit the maximize button, others never get to the right size.

Additionally all applications cover the toolbar.
I made the toolbar the top layer but then I can't see the bottom of application 
windows to resize them.

What do I do to get applications to be a normal size in fluxbox?

Thanks

 It did not happen to me but maybe you need to add some bagels to go with 
 the lox.
 
 When the browser 'locks up' the next time get a 'ps -auxwf|grep firefox 
 ps.out' and then 'lsof|grep firefox lsof.out' and then be prepared to 
 answer questions about them on a mailing list.
 
 It could be misconfigured dns, bad permissions, bad ram in your machine,

fluxbox keyboard switcheroo

2005-07-18 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

I opened fluxbox recently and somehow I saw on the taskbar the
keyboard switching icon. I was able to use it to type hebrew in
fluxbox. But logging out from fluxbox the icon no longer exists on
relogging in.

It looks like the kde icon.

If I can get hebrew typing in hebrew I will be able to use fluxbox
full time.

Does anyone have an idea how I get the keyboard icon to appear?

script debug to keep me alive

Hi all,

When I first got internet service I was given three scripts.
Two worked fine, the third one doesn't.
I am planning a vaction and need to be able to keep my computer online
while I am away.

This is a script which needs to be run as a cron job.
I never bothered before now because I just manually check the
connection every so often.

but now I will be away.

So I need help to get the running:

Here it is:
1 #!/bin/sh

3 STOPSCRIPT=/usr/sbin/ptstop   #Script to stop a connection

9 GREP=`which grep`
10 SED=`which sed`

in search of the perfect editor

2005-06-09 Thread Aaron
Hi all,

I do many different tasks within an editor:

docbook, html etc I use nedit mode of emacs boy I wish that hebrew was
better supported..

I do a lot of work with lilypond and would use emacs but the hebrew
support is not as good a gvim.

I tried jedit which has great support for lilypond but can't type in
hebrew, literally it just won't time if I choose hebrew keyboard.

I had to fiddle with gvim until I got hebrew working.

gedit worked beatiful with hebrew out-of the box but after using
emacs/vim it is just lame/ the keybindings open dialog boxes and there
is no scheme for navigation advanced editing etc. not to mention a
dirth of plugins...


So is there an editor which is of the class of vim emacs with native
hebrew support and ease of creating plugins for syntax highlighting
autocompletion, the ability to call lilypond from within and launce
viewers for the outputted ps pdf dvi and midi files?

I wasted half a day trying to write a plugin for gedit for lilypond
before I found out that as an editor it is just lame.

I think I know the answer probably is gvim but I would like to know if
there are options I haven't tried yet.

Thanks
