Errors in syslog
I just noticed errors in my syslog that are appearing every second or so: Apr 30 17:54:24 localhost kernel: [ 4005.845334] helper[12990]: segfault at e0 ip 7f67e817e9d0 sp 7fffbff09908 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f67e8153000+135000] I don't know when this started. My earliest syslog file is from April 22 and the errors already appear there. How can I figure out what is causing the segfault? I am running Ubuntu 16.04 Thanks -- David Suna da...@davidsconsultants.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Server load spike debugging
I am working on a VPS. Earlier today there was a load spike that
made the server unresponsive for a period of time (around 10-15
minutes). Both ssh and web access were not responsive. After a while
the problem just stopped and the server started responding again.
How can I go about diagnosing what caused the problem? I looked at
our application log around that time and I do not see anything out
of the ordinary. When I was finally able to get back into the server
and I ran top, the process that was using the most CPU was mysqld. I
don't know if that was the process that was causing the load spike
at the time.
I saw several references to MySQLTuner so I downloaded and ran it.
It gave some suggestions but I am not a DBA so I don't understand
most of the suggestions and I don't want to make any changes without
understanding what is involved. Below are the suggestions MySQLTuner
came up with. If anyone can explain some of the suggestions or point
me in the direction of a good resource that would explain them I
would appreciate it.
General recommendations:
Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update
your configuration with skip-name-resolve=1
Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size
equal
Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries which have no LIMIT clause
Read this before changing innodb_log_file_size and/or
innodb_log_files_in_group: http://bit.ly/2wgkDvS
Variables to adjust:
query_cache_size (=0)
query_cache_type (=0)
query_cache_limit (> 1M, or use smaller result sets)
join_buffer_size (> 256.0K, or always use indexes with joins)
tmp_table_size (> 16M)
max_heap_table_size (> 16M)
innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 908M) if possible.
innodb_log_file_size should be (=16M) if possible, so InnoDB
total log files size equals to 25% of buffer pool size.

Re: Systemd error messages for custom service
Thanks for the pointer. Yes, I was writing to stdout. I didn't know
about PHP's syslog call
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.syslog.php) which produces output
that goes to systemd log and can be manipulated with journalctl.
That should solve my problem.

I think you should use syslog, and/or systemd-/journald-specific means, e.g.:

sendmail or ssmtp or ??
I have an Ubuntu machine that I am using to develop PHP based web application. I now need to configure it so that PHP can send out mail. The default seems to be to install sendmail.

Re: Python 'mentoring'
For an IDE I would recommend PyCharm
(https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/). It is not free software but
they do have a Community Edition which is free. The Community
Edition is limited to only being focused on Python. The Professional
Edition includes support for full stack web development (HTML, CSS,
_javascript_ and various frameworks both on the server side and on the
client like Django etc.). If you are a student you can get the
Professional Edition for free.
For a completely free option you can try NetBeans (netbeans.org)
with the Python plugin (http://wiki.netbeans.org/Python) or an
Eclipse based IDE like PyDev (http://www.pydev.org/). I have used
NetBeans for PHP development but not for Python specifically.

Currently I write the code in gedit or nano/pico, then
run the script in a terminal, using "python

is not designed for programming on a PC, I need some
advice on an IDE that allows one to code and run and
decode errors from within the IDE because mine is not
the best way to develop code.
It would also be nice to create a GUI version of my
code (currently all takes place in a terminal), and
even possibly move it to the web (i.e. run the program
inside a browser window), if that is doable.
Finally, I would also like to continue using the
language and maybe contribute to community projects
that use it (yes, I realize a couple of courses do not
a programmer make).
So I have a number of questions:
1. Is there an Israel/Tel Aviv Python group?
2. Are there any places where someone can help in python
projects? I hear rumors there is something on Google Campus,
but I am not sure if it is python related or if they take
newbies.
3. Would someone be willing to 'mentor' me - that is, help me
move up the python food chain, by doing OOP programming, using
advanced IDE's tools, making apps from my code so people can
use it on a cell phone or tablet, or as part of Facebook,
disseminate the code through git or similar versioning tools,
etc.?

I am currently working as a freelancer coding stuff in a company. However, although I am making good living, this does not scale much (and promotion is out of the question :) ). Anyway, I am looking for ways to scale. A different way to say the same thing: You can choose to be an employee in which case your earning potential is limited to what the current market value of someone with your skill set is. Doesn't scale but does provide you with benefits, a guaranteed salary and a corporate culture for advancement. Or, you can choose to work for yourself. This have several variations: 1. Working as a contractor - Generally this allows you to charge a higher hourly rate. The down side is you have to provide your own benefits, accounting, etc. You also lose the stability of it being someone else's job to generate work for you. This also does not scale as you are limited to the number of hours a day you can work and the going market rate for the skill set you have. 2. Produce a product - Build a better mouse trap and sell it. This is not necessarily in line with the open source way of doing things. However, it is a common business plan. This has the potential to scale as you can develop the product once and sell it many times. You have the significant risk of startup and development costs and whether the product will be successful. 3. Provide a service - Along the lines of the idea you suggested of hosting complex solutions. This is similar to being a contractor but the focus is on marketing the service you provide rather you and your skill set. This only has the potential to scale by having other people (employees or contractors) provide the service in the name of your company. Your profit is the cost you can charge the client minus the cost of the worker actually doing the work. You also take on the responsibility of generating enough work to cover the costs of the worker(s) and yourself. With all of the joys that Yonatan described in his email. -- David Suna da...@davidsconsultants.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: [OT] Troubleshooting Bezeq Int'l problems

Database driven filesystem
I have a web application (written in PHP) that works against a MySQL database. I would like to have an FTP interface that would translate a request for a file into a request against the web server and return the data generated by the web server as the contents of the file. I can think of three ways to approach the problem: 1. Custom code an FTP server 2. Implement a file system layer that would do the translation 3. Use an off line process to generate the output and use the standard FTP server to serve the generated files Due to time constraints we are taking the third approach. However, I wanted to find out if there are any other solutions or existing implementations that we could build on in the future.

I would have an extra copy of the HD before I start the game. Good Luck! Thanks for everyone's suggestions. As noted the official way requires you to be able to boot into the old system to run a migration tool which was not an option for me. Special thanks to Geoffrey Mendelson for pointing me in the direction of Acronis (www.acronis.com).

The down side to this is that other than the default template you need to assign a template to a particular page and it is a maintenance headache to do that on an ongoing basis. The site I did was mainly in Hebrew and they weren't adding English pages on a regular basis so we were able to live with that. Since this was when I just started using Joomla I assume there is a better way to do this. I would appreciate any pointers to resources for how to develop templates that can be used for both English and Hebrew or of how to manage a site in Joomla that is using both Hebrew and English on a regular basis.

However - I can strongly recommend Joomla 1.5 and up. We are very light users of Hebrew but - fwiw there is no issue at all with the latest version of Joomla mixing hebrew and english, the SEO friendly URLs work and as long as you are ok with a English language interface - Joomla will everything you want and more. I second Shachar's comment about the templates - as long as you use standard templates or do minimal customization you will be fine - otherwise you will need help from a more experienced person - and there are tons of them out there.

Re: XDMCP Problem - Resolved (kind of)
I found the GUI app to set this and tried using it. The results were not satisfactory. I gave up on XDMCP for now and I am using ssh with X redirection which is working. Below is a summary of the XDMCP results. There are three settings for remote sessions - 1. Remote login disabled - this is what it was set to. I don't know why it was set to that during the upgrade. Is that something that should be reported as a bug? If so to where? 2. Same as local - this is the setting that matches the behavior that I used to have. When you connect via XDMCP you are supposed to see the same login screen as if you were sitting at the machine. When I try to connect using cygwin X it crashes and restarts the X server immediately. 3. Plain with face browser - this setting presents a simplified login screen. At first this setting didn't allow any connections either. I then bumped up the connection values in the Configure XDMCP dialog box. This then allowed one out of the four other machines to on the LAN to connect via XDMCP. David Suna [EMAIL PROTECTED] David Suna wrote: I recently upgraded my Ubuntu system from 6.10 to 8.04.

If your application is testing ping response then even minor differences are significant enough to justify the greater cost. If you are developing an ecommerce site having a page load a second slower is less critical. If you are developing a site that will require large amounts of storage space then the price difference goes up astronomically.

Re: HP OfficeJet 5610 Samba
Geoff, Thanks for your reply. To test out the Linux setup I tried plugging the 5610 directly into the Ubuntu machine. It automatically identified the printer and was able to print to it without a problem. The problem only seems to be when printing to it on the XP machine via Samba. The entries in the printers.conf file are identical except for the DeviceURI line. The files in /etc/cups/ppd are identical. I already have foomatic installed.

PHP, MySQL, Hebrew question
While this is not directly linux related it is FOSS related. I have a MySQL 5 database that has fields with Hebrew values. The fields are defined as varchar with a hebrew_general_ci collation. I have a PHP page that takes values specified in a form field and runs a query against the table. For example, it takes the values specified by the user for first name and last name and queries the table for rows that match the first_name and last_name columns. When I run the query on the PHP page the result is that no rows are found. When I print out the SQL that was run and copy and paste it into a query on phpMyAdmin against the same database it does return rows in the result set. Does someone know the magic necessary to make the query work when it is run via PHP? Alternatively, how can I debug this problem where the printed SQL works when run through phpMyAdmin but not when run directly?

Are there any programs, that would check a site and would highlight areas (HTML, JS, CSS), that are problematic from cross-browser compatibility perspective?

Re: Hosting Recommendations - Take 2
One hosting service that I have started using recently that provides way more storage and bandwidth than I listed below is http://www.eboundhost.com/ (see http://www.eboundhost.com/hosting/shared/linux.php). They got very good customer reviews in the sites that I checked. I have been relatively happy with them so far. The support has been very responsive. I have also been very happy using ICDSoft (www.icdsoft.com). Their basic package doesn't include much storage space but as a reseller for them I can upgrade the package to include 20 GB of storage space. With my reseller discount that comes out to $10 per month. For ASP support you tend to need to pay more. One example of a service that provides ASP support and relatively large storage is www.3essentials.com. For $10 per month you can get 13 GB and for $20 per month you can get 28 GB. As for the application, this is intended as a storage site for large files that will be downloaded by a small number of people. Some of the files will be video files and some of the downloads will be streaming (or pseudo streaming). You are right that most sites do not require anywhere near this amount of space and this actual project doesn't need it at the outset but may grow to need it. Since I know that there are services out there that do this for a reasonable price outside of Israel I don't think the client should need to pay several hundred dollars per month for an Israel based solution. Another important factor is having very good support. I don't want to take on the responsibility of managing a VPS or a dedicated server. The software I want to use is standard enough that I don't need to install my own packages. So I want a solution that will make this rock solid without adding overhead to my work.

One of the cheapest hosting sites I know - nearlyfreespeech.net - will charge you for the storage alone $25 per month, and if we assume 1GB bandwidth usage per month (which sounds very low for a 25GB web site), you'd pay additional $10 per month.

Sorry for the off topic post but I know that there are other web developers on the list who might know the answer to this question.

I found a way to get Firefox to scroll the parent frame (used a a name reference at the top of the confirmation page). However this does not work on IE. Because of the brain dead system I am working on, I can only have javascript or server side scripting code within the contained frame but not in the parent.

Thanks, David Suna [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jonathan Ben Avraham wrote: Hi David, Correct display of Hebrew with diacritics (nukud) depends on two factors. The first is having diacritic support in the display font. The second is the ability of the display engine. If the display font is an OpenType font with diacritics and GSUB and GPOS table data for correct positioning of the diacritics relative to the character glyphs, and the display engine is OpenType capable, then the application should display Hebrew correctly with diacritics (assuming the font is not buggy). If the display font is not OpenType but has diacritics, and the display engine has Hebrew capabilities (pre-Opentype uniscribe.dll, unicows.dll), then the application should be able to display Hebrew with diacritics placed under the center of the glyphs of the characters that they follow in the base text. In-letter diacritics such as the accent (dagesh) cannot be displayed correctly. So, to test to see if this is really a Firefox issue, you need to view the text in IE and in FireFox for Windows using the *same* Windows OS and the *same* display font (assuming that Firefox under Windows uses the uniscribe.dll display engine). If the display appears different in FireFox for Windwos that in IE and you are sure that the display font is identical, then the problem is either that FireFox is not using the uniscribe.dll display engine (might be using FreeType but not likely) or that there really is a bug in FireFox.

I have implemented a site that has Hebrew words (including nikud) interspersed within English text. The problem is that under Firefox the Hebrew words with nikud don't display properly. They display fine under IE. For an example you can look at http://www.tanakhprofiles.org/about.php. If you look at the first bullet item under Stylistic Notes you can see what I mean. Is this a bug in Firefox? If yes, who do I report it to? If not, how do I fix it to display correctly in Firefox?

Re: FireFox - not compatible with IE
This may be somewhat off topic to Linux but since we are on the topic of browser incompatibilities I thought I would share a recent Firefox / IE javascript incompatibility that wasn't caught by any of the standards checkers that I use. The specific instance was a href=somelink id=myID div class=myClass text /div /a the javascript was myObj = getElementById(myID); objHeight = myObj.offsetHeight; Under ID this gave the height of the link. Under FireFox the height was returned as 0. The solution was to move the id=myID into the div tag and then both IE and FireFox reported the correct height. I don't know if FireFox or IE is exhibiting the correct behavior (I assume it is FireFox) but Tidy reported the page clean and FireFox did not report any javascript errors and yet the behavior was different. Also, the way IE and FireFox interpret CSS differently is as much of a problem for me as the javascript issues. Anyone have recommendations for a good CSS syntax checker? Or a medium to advance CSS tutorial? -- David Suna [EMAIL PROTECTED] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FireFox - not compatible with IE
The actual case was somewhat more complicated. The code was part of a javascript scroller that I had modified to generate the contents of the scroller dynamically. So first there was javascript code that generated the a hrefdiv code and later a timer handler checked the height of the element to determine if it had been scrolled off the viewable area. The initial call to populate the scroller was run at startup. The timer handler continued running long after the page was fully loaded.

Re: [OT, but so often discussed] www.iaa.gov.il wants IE
I originally had a problem with the links on the page (although not the link itself). What I realized was that the links on this page are coded with \ as a separator instead of / which was reported as an error when I clicked on the link. I downloaded an extension called Slashy which fixes these kinds of problems on the fly and then the links worked without a problem. David Suna.

ls doesn't return on /var/www/html
I have a RedHat 9 system. Everything seems to be working fine. I tried to do an ls /var/www/html and the command hangs. Doing the same on other directories is fine. I assume that some process has the directory open which is why the ls is hanging. I tried restarting httpd but that didn't help. 1. How can I find out why ls is hanging on that particular directory? lsof blocks as well. Running lsof with -b runs but doesn't list any open files in /var/www 2. What would cause this to happen? Is this an indication that the system has been compromised? On a different topic, what is the recommended way for keeping a RedHat 9 system up to date?

Re: ls doesn't return on /var/www/html
Interestingly, when I ran strace on ls it returned immediately. I tried piping ls into more and it returned immediately also. Finally, I switched from my X session to a console and tried ls /var/www/html. While it also hung, when I broke out of it via Ctrl-C I got an error message about smb_lookup. I realized that I had mounted a Windows directory so as to be able to test out some php code under Apache and the Windows machine was no longer available on the network. When I umounted the directory everything went back to normal. Mystery solved, although I can't say that I understand everything that happened. David Suna.

Re: Hashavshevet
I don't have experience with Hashavshevet but we have a different accounting package that also only ran under Windows 98. I was able to get it working under DosEmu.

Re: Merchant accounts and software
Yes, I have used PayPal in the past. However, the downside to using PayPal is that everyone using it must have a PayPal account and you exit your site in order to do the processing. The client I am investigating this for wants to avoid those issues so that they can have a customized form for payment and post transactions from the backend. Just as an aside, PayPal requires 128 bit security in the browser. However, if your browser does not have 128 bit security it does not give a meaningful error message but returns a Page cannot be displayed error. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Upgrade tool
I have a RedHat 9 system. It came with mysql 3.23.54 without InnoDB table support. I would like to upgrade to 4.0.20 (to match a production environment). I downloaded the 4.0.20 rpms but I bumped into a whole bunch of dependency issues. Unfortunately, the depency errors only tell me which packages conflict and not what version of the packages I need to install. I have apt-get installed but the respository only has 3.23.54. Are there any other tools out there that I can just say upgrade mysql to 4.0.20 and it will figure out the rest for me? This is getting to be very frustrating.

ADSL recommendations
I think it is finally time to move from my ISDN line to ADSL. I am looking for recommendations of which company to go with for the ADSL package. Most important is Linux support. I do not want to be stuck with the We only support Windows answer. I know that Netvision says they have Linux support. Are there any other companies that support Linux? Which would you recommend?

Stability Issues
I have a Redhat 9 system. I installed the system on a 128 MB Pentium III and the system was very slow. I then installed an additional 128 MB of memory and the system behaved much more responsively. The problem I have now is that the system has become unstable. Periodically, it seems when the system is under heavy memory load, the system will just reboot. I suspect that the problem is with the memory since sometimes after a crash the system will report only 128 MB of RAM available. I have tried reseating the memory into another slot but that has not solved the problem. Is there any log file or some other debugging aid that would tell me if the memory is really the problem? Is it possible that this is because there is a mismatch between the two memory banks? The first 128 MB came with the machine when I bought it a few years ago and I don't know if it is PC-100 or PC-133. The new 128 MB is definitely PC-133. The person I bought the memory from said that it shouldn't matter since the faster memory would just run slower but he is not at all Linux literate. I want to ask for the memory to be exchanged but I want to have all the facts before I do that.

Hebrew X fonts
I am trying to install Hebrew fonts for X. I downloaded hebxfonts-0.2 and ran make. The mkfontdir on /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc reported that two fonts couldn't be processed because of duplicate names. I deleted those fonts from the directory and then the mkfontdir program finished correctly. I ran xset fp rehash and it didn't report any errors. If I look in the fonts.dir file I see the fonts listed there. However, when I run xlsfonts the fonts are not listed. I am running RedHat 9. What do I have to do to have those fonts available?

RedHat 9 problem with IP_Forwarding
Thanks to some off list help I was able to get my ISDN connection up with Bezeq. The problem was that I needed to upgrade my redhat-config-network package and the rhpl package as well. I thought I had done it but it turns out I hadn't. Upgrading solved the problem. I am now on to my next problem. When I was running RH7.3 I had the Linux box set up with ip_masq and ip_filter to be the Internet gateway for the other machines on the network. I am trying to do the same now but it is not working. I am able to connect to the Internet from the Linux box. I am able to ping the Linux box from the other machines on the LAN. I have Samba running and I am able to browse the Linux box from the Windows machines. However, when I try to ping an IP address (i.e. 192.0.34.161 www.internic.net) from the Windows boxes on the LAN I get Request timed out responses. I do see that the request is going out on the ISDN connection but it doesn't seem to be going back to the machine on the LAN. I ran tcpdump and saw the icmp: echo request recorded. The problem seems to be that the packets from the LAN machine are going out onto the Internet as coming from 192.168.0.4 which are then being ignored. I believe the problem is with my routing table but I don't know how to fix it. The output from route -n is: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 00 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo 62.0.0.00.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 ippp0 0.0.0.0 62.219.193.10.0.0.0 UG0 00 ippp0 Any fixes or pointers to documentation that would tell me how to fix this would be appreciated.

ISDN Redhat 9 Bezeq Int'l
I use Bezeq Int'l as my ISP. Unfortunately, they do not support Linux. I had a Redhat 7.3 system connected via ISDN without a problem. During my recent upgrade to Redhat 9 I had a hard disk crash. I now have a cleanly installed Redhat 9 system. I added the ISDN card and a Bezeq provider with my username etc. via the When I try to activate the ISDN device it does not activate and it does not return any kind of error.

Apr 21 14:29:14 Sunalinux kernel: isdn_net: isdn0 connected Apr 21 14:29:25 Sunalinux kernel: isdn_net: local hangup isdn0 Apr 21 14:29:25 Sunalinux kernel: isdn0: Chargesum is 0 I have run xisdnload and I see it change color from white to yellow to red. It stays red for about 10 seconds and then goes back to white, which matches to the connected and hangup messages in the log. I don't know what is happening to cause it to hang up. I tried setting the Authentication options to all of the choices (none, pap, chap, chap+pap) and none of them worked. Is there a way I can get more detailed information about what is going on between when the connection and the hangup? Does anyone have the magic answer for getting a RedHat 9 system to connect via ISDN to Bezeq Int'l? I am considering switching to another provider that supports Linux but in the meantime I would really like to get this to work.

UPS support
Can anyone recommend a UPS available in the Jerusalem area that is support by RedHat Linux 7.0? We have had several long lasting power interruptions recently. The UPS I have does not have an interface to allow automatic shutdown of the computer. I would like to purchase a new UPS that can handle the machine and a 17 monitor that will automatically shutdown if the power interruption lasts for longer than 10 minutes. Alternatively, is there a way to send a command from a Windows machine to the Linux box to shut down? I have software on the Windows machine that will automatically shutdown the machine and will execute a command file before shutting down. If I can set up a batch file to send a rsh or ssh instruction to shutdown then I can accomplish the automatic shutdown based on the UPS on the Windows box. Not as exact but better than what I have now. Thanks, David Suna David's Consultants R.G.A Ltd.
