to Israel,...,North Korea. :)
Do you know anything about it?
Any idea how I can get one in Israel?

Re: Advice on lightweight laptops for Linux (of course)

[Meir Michanie]

I bought a DELL inspiron 7559 with the hybrid graphic card. It is the worst
laptop I ever had, All distros have issues with it. I wanted the laptop to
use the GPU and therefore preferred to use the nvidia driver.
Battery life sucks. keyboard seems to be fragile. Stay away from Dell at
least from the 7559.

 Hi,

 I am using bash and others shells like busybox ash for many year on
 desktop and for embedded Linux projects. Eventually I've collected
 number of shell functions, aliases and tricks.

 I've published my reusable utilities here:

 https://github.com/makelinux/lib

 It is implemented as easy to use single file script. It consits of 300
 SLOC, 40 functions and aliases. Most useful functions are: make-debug,
 trap_err, readline-bindings, duplicates, fs_usage,
 system_status_short, git_fixup, tcpdump-text, git_ign_add, for_each,
 mem_avail_kb

 Moreover I've collected and reviewed other shell functions libraries here:

 http://elinux.org/Scripting

 Have you your useful functions, tips, tricks to share?


 Thanks

 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

 Due to time constraints we are taking the third approach.  However, I
 wanted to find out if there are any other solutions or existing

Hi Steve,
Please forward my answer to the group.
The issue is that Yad2 blocks traffic from outside of Israel. I have

proxy on the browser.

 Hi,

 I have no - literally zero - experience in creating GUIs of any kind. I
 face the following task now: there is a C++ program that runs on Linux and
 basically receives some packets with some data over the network and does
 some transformations on the data. As a result some data structures are
 created and updated - potentially many times a second, say, a few times a
 second for any *single piece* of data. I need a *prototype* GUI that would
 display and constantly update (parts of) those structures, say strings and
 numbers with colours and labels and stuff. There may be a need for a
 drop-down menu for some configuration - don't know yet. Eventually maybe a
 button or two will be added to invoke some actions.

 I figure that the simplest way about it would be to make the GUI run on
 the same Linux machine and write it in C++ for ease of integration. What
 would be the easiest / simplest framework to use? Is it Qt? Ultimate++
 (http://www.ultimatepp.org/ - just one of the things I found in a simple and
 brief search)? Since I have no experience it's difficult for me to judge
 quickly.

 What is important here is speed and painless ramp-up to some fairly low
 level. I want to be up and running as fast as possible with as little coding
 as possible. No need for bells and whistles. No need for long term
 maintenance. It is for a throw away demo/prototype - and yes, I am sure it
 (the GUI part) will be thrown away.

 Any suggestions / experiences / war stories / whatever?

 Thanks in advance,

  (Sorry for the long post, I'm writing a very boring code and feel a bit 
 chatty)

 This might not be the suggesting you're looking for, but hear me out.

 I write in-kernel C-based DPI software for a living and as such, I
 rather dislike C++ and the only GUIs I wrote in the past ~15 years are
 bash scripts that used xdialog and zenity.

 Long story short (?), we needed a fairly complex GUI to display the
 output of our system, and needed to do it within ~3 weeks (the life of
 a startup...) - as I was the only one with some free time, the job
 landed on my shoulders.
 Tried Qt, two hours later the police managed to persuade me to get off
 the roof. pass.
 (In Qt's defense, I usually start scratching when I see too many
 templates in one header file; If you're a OO-happy developer YMMV).
 Tried GTK, felt like re-learning Win32 GDI all over ago, 14 days left, pass.
 Tried a couple of other options (Tk, etc), but nothing really stuck.

 Tick tock, tick tock, I could hear the clock.

 Did some reading and saw a suggestion about Python / PyGTK combo (GTK
 over Python).
 Now, I never wrote a single line of Python in my life, but having
 depleted most of the logical options (Raw X11 is not really an
 option), I decided to give it a try and... ZING! I liked it. I mean,
 really liked it.
 Python is midway between C and C++ and uses the more-or-less the logic
 and code structure, so I simply dove in. The code itself is very
 readable (Yep, Pearl, I'm looking at you!), so coding by examples is
 as strait forward as it gets.
 Per GUI, the PyGTK API is simple and logical, and the documentation is
 fairly good (somewhat less if you decide to use PyGI as I did once I
 got going).
 Tools are not really needed (I used vim, what else?), though you may
 want to give glade a try when you build the initial GUI skeleton.

 In ~3 weeks we had a fairly complex multi-threaded GUI with a binary
 data conversion, grids, views, tabs, attachments and multimedia
 support (courtesy of pygtkwebkit and its gstreamer plugins) and as a
 added bonus, the performance is quite good (far better than, err,
 Java) and we even managed to add a nice animated splash screen :)

 Now, I wish I could take credit for being an excellent GUI programmer
 (I could, but I'm not really into getting struck by a lightning).
 The credit goes to Python and PyGTK (or actually, PyGI)

 In short (...), unless you have a good reason to use C++ or C for
 this GUI, I'd give PyGTK a chance. You won't be disappointed.

Hi Stan,
My AEG oven clock is out of sync and connecting your HTC Aria to a
wireless router request for support would be better answered at
http://lmgtfy.com/ Let me google that for you


2012/3/14 Stan Goodman stan.good...@hashkedim.com:
 This is my first smart phone, an HTC Aria, and I am learning it bit by bit.
 I am having difficulty in having it communicate with my LAN through my
 wireless router, specifically getting through the WPA authentication,
 although that would seem to be a very simple and straightforward matter.


 The phone does see the router's signal, remembers its SSID, and reports that
 it has good signal strength. The only missing step is entering the password.


 When I am asked to enter the password, I type it in and press Connect. The
 instrument then checks its authenticity, and the next thing that appears on
 the screen is the empty password field, so I understand that authentication
 failed.


 But the password I have entered (many times, out of disbelief and
 frustration) is the correct one. I know this because it is successful with
 my laptop. When I access the web server of the browser, I can see the
 password that the router knows it has, and that is what I have been feeding
 the phone -- all lower-case characters. I do not understand why the same
 string fails with the phone.


 For what it's worth, the phone is able to connect with another wireless net
 that doesn't require authentication.


 Here are the security details of the wireless router:

 Network authentication: WPA2-PSK

 WPA Group Rekey Interval: 0

 WPA/WPA1 Encryption: AES


 I would be grateful for any helpful advice.

 Hi all,

 I'm about to meet my daughter's school principal on the subject of the
 formats of documents the school spreads around routinely, like the weekly
 schedule. In short - they are using .DOC MS Word format and I don't like it
 as I cannot cleanly open those documents on my computer (which runs Ubuntu).

 Although I'm quite old in the Linux world and probably heard over the years
 most of them - still I prefer having a refreshment of all the arguments in

 formats.

 Any pointers/text will be appreciated.

Re: [OFFTOPIC] Re: Richard Stallman answer to me

[Meir Michanie]

I think that everyone has an opinion, a political agenda and a
personal agenda. I chose to use FOSS as a way to defend my right to
use any software in anyway I want and not to be tide to the
political/business agenda of a proprietary software provider.
The right to use free software should be a human right not linked to
any agenda. Free as in freedom without committing to anyone's agenda.

As Geoff said, BSD license allows you to detach at any moment from the
source and lead your own way.
May be the greater value of the FOSS would come when it is owned and
ruled by nobody, as Freedom is not owned by any sponsor.
We all agree to the value of FOSS, RS at this stage may be  a mere
representative of a foundation that supports that idea but nothing
more. He did not invent freedom, and I do not need his permission or
blessing to be part of the FOSS movement.
If FOSS is democracy, the RS and GNU is a party.
If we do not agree with his agenda and point of view, then it is our
choice to either influence inside the party or to create a new party.
( This is Israel after all. :)   )

Do you want to chat with RS? do it.
You think that he is not welcome because of his agenda? don't invite him.
Do you want to discuss and chat over FOSS? meet with any of your peers.
Proprietary software has a father. FOSS doesn't, it belongs to RS as
it belongs to me and you.
Do you think that the guy is using the movement for his own personal
agenda and it doesn't fit yours? try to take his place by meritocracy.

Best regards,
Meir

 Stan (and others),

 This is Israel, and he is allowed to be a hypocrite, believe things that are
 wrong, state things that are wrong and not participate in actions that are
 wrong, whether he believes they are wrong, or you do.

 What he should not do, and IMHO can not do is to wrap the FSF message around
 them. If he posts as RMS, or Dick Stallman, or Rich Stallman, or even
 Richard Stallman, Phd, it's his privledge, but the moment he posts as Dr
 Richard Stallman, President, Free Software Foundation he has spoken for the
 FSF, and now the FSF is part of the BDS movement.

 While this may gain him a little street cred with some people, there are
 many who don't support the BDS movement, and this now gives us an unpleasant
 choice. Support the FSF and support BDS, or not.

 Shachar mentioned boycotting the FSF (actually I think he said GNU) but I
 will leave it to you to decide exactly what not supporting the FSF means.

 In case you don't know what I am talking about:

 http://www.bdsmovement.net/

 This, BTW is why I dislike the GPL, it has some baggage attached, which now
 includes BDS. I much prefer BSD's do what you want, but don't do it here*

Re: Palm to Android via Linux

Hi Shlomo,
Android only uses the LINUX kernel. I was going to say that if your

and it is out of topic.
Or not?
If I have a question on running something on Debian GNU/Hurd is my
question out of topic?
If I use PCBSD and I have a question related to kde or gnome, is my
question out of topic?
If I have a question about configuring my linksys or d-link router

 about whether Android is really Linux or not ;-).

 1 - I used jpilot to export Palm memo files to text files
 2 - the files look fine in a Linux text editor (Kwrite, Kate, etc)
 3 - I used Dropbox to move the files to my phone
 4 - When I open the files on the phone (with various editors), there are
 strange line breaks (seem to be random - between words, in the middle of a

 5 - I tried opening the files in Open Office (in Linux) and saving as .odt and
 again copied to the phone with dropbox
 6 - The Android Open Office reader app now reads the files properly.

 Any ideas why the original text files show this behaviour?

 BTW - when I opened the files in Open Office (in Linux), I checked to see if
 there were un-printable characters, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I
 even looked at the files in hexedit to see if there were any unusual
 characters, but found nothing unusual.

There is always another option,...
one other option would be to underclock your CPUs and then even when they

 Many thanks for everybody who answered my question.
 Short resume is following:
 1. x86_64 is really the only affordable platform( sure it depends on
 definition of affordable but anyway people got it right);
 2. Good idea is cleaning off the dust from the box and check thermal paste;
 3. Is the problem specific to my machine or has general nature still
 unclear,
 since:
 a) gamers forums are full of complaints about overheating;
 b) nobody provides example of heavy *numerical* load without overheating,
 kernel compilation for example is not relevant becouse AFAIK compiler does
 not use floating point calculations and power consumption and heating may be
 essentially different;
 4. All the subject of CPU power consumption and heating is complicated and
 needs serious investigation. Most of the references I've seen are of
 anecdotal character, very little reliable physical/engineering information.
 Probably manufacturers prefer to keep this information for own use.

wrt and aztech

[Meir Michanie]

Hi list,
I have a linksys running wrt-54 and it is connected to the bezeq ADSL2+
aztech dsl-600e.
Before the upgrade I was using alcatel dsl modem  configured as router. It
worked fine without any disconnection.
Since my upgrade to NGN 10Mb, I am experiencing disconnections. I called 166
and they told me that the line seems to be ok.
I also got a D-Link 2650u from them . I still didn't open the d-link router.

My experience so far with aztech is that when I configured as a router, the
modem would create the internet connection but would freeze in a few
minutes, the web interface to the modem once connected became unaccessible.
What are your experience with the aztech modem? at what speed?
Anyone using the d-link?
How is all this linux related? Well, they told me to use the bezeq dialer,
but fortunately I do not own a windows pc. wrt-54 is a linux firmware. :)
They told me that the experience I had with the aztech modem could be that
my particular modem is bad and I could replace it for another aztech.

I would appreciate your feedback.

The interface/features is bad compared to wrt-54 on Linksys.

Re: Where to learn Linux?

[Meir Michanie]

Hi Dotan,
If you want to qualify as a Linux sysadmin, I would suggest you to install a
few virtual boxes, set up a scenario like the following and do it all.
Scenario 1:
John Doe wants to open a startup. He is ready to take you aboard in order to
setup all the systems. To start you will need to setup 2 workstations for
two developers that will be working together in the project. One workstation
for the secretary, one for you and one for the boss and a sales guy that
uses window$.
You need to setup:
Voip system
Mail system with antispam,...
Version control software
a shared drive
a wiki for internal use
a corporate portal
firewall
vpn access to let people work from home.
monitoring sytems to make sure everything is ok.
network printing
print to fax
backup solution
Disaster recovery plan
samba share

Do all of this and some other scenarios. Assist people for free. If you are
built for it, you will have enough experience even do you never got a salary
on the field before.

Sincerely,
Meir Michanie

 I've done my own and later hired someone to do the work for me. You  
 can save a lot of money if you:

I am willing to pay to a pro that can certify a good job.

 
 1. get your own sockets, wire and a punchdown aka KRONE (pr crow- 
 neh) tool.

I Got it
 
 2. plan you wiring carefull. Pick a central spot for your router, etc  
 where the shortest runs are needed to get to where you need to go.

This could be tricky:
1. I would like to place the switch in a hidden location (built in closets are 
an option)
2. Considering a star topology with shortest legs may not always be the easiest 
place where to place the switch and do the cabling.
3. I was told that it should be possible to run the cables from the outside of 
the appartment and drilling the external walls in places were I would 
like to place a jack.

I like the last option as it avoids getting messy inside the appartment.

 
 3. put in extra wires. unterminated (no jacks) wires are cheap, and  
 it's just as cheap to run 2 or 3 to a spot as 1 except for the wire.

I agree with you
 
 4. decide what speed you want. I put in CAT 5 wire and used 2 pair per  
 jack which gives me 100mbit ethernet. gigbit ethernet is actually 4  
 pairs at 250 mbits and you need all 8 cat 6 wires.

CAT5 should be fine, but I am scared that in a few years from now I will be sad 
not having 1G network. Fiber optic may be an option, but I do not 
know how much money could that mean.

 
 5. tough spots can often be done with wireless networking, but it is  
 slower than wired and less secure. Plan to put your wifi access point  
 if you have one as far as possible from streets, neighbors, etc.
 
 Geoff.

 My advise  is Don't.
 Use wireless network.

My advise is use wireless network, keep it unencrypted but:
1. do bandwith shapping.
2. firewalling
3. IDS
4. Treat it as a public network
5. setup a honeypot and get some fun.

Re: Ditching ubuntu

[Meir Michanie]

On one of the boxes I installed Fedora 10. So far so good. 
It seems quite stable. 
I used livna in order to get all kind of rpm like skype with its
dependencies,...
installing the latest nvidia driver required some debugging ( adding glx
required to edit xorg.conf)
I still like ubuntu over fedora.
I jumped to ubuntu when Debian screwed it up with the release with kernel
2.6.8

 It depends on your needs. If you want just some very common tasks -
 like browsing, spreadsheet etc, then you can use CentOS (I do).
 
 Beware that many media application won't work, or you won't be able
 to install them with yum. Just last week I needed to rip a DVD, to
 my surprise there was a package for CentOS: DVDRIP-0.98.10-6.el5, I
 installed it just to find out it does not work. Googling around, I
 found it is a known problem but without a solution (the same package
 works on Fedora 10).
 
 CentOS is very stable OS when used as server, not as media center.
 
 For desktop use, I'll stick with Fedora, not necessarily the last one.
 You have about 1.5 years maintenance from the distribution of a new
 version. Fedora 11 will be available sometime in June.

I cross by an article were someone explained that installing ubuntu-minimal
and then installing some few gnome packages, you can speed up the box.
As i do not own a usb cdrom, i had to create a usb drive capable of botting

Ditching ubuntu

[Meir Michanie]

Hi List,
I decided to move to fedora after using ubuntu for years, under the pressure
to resolve freeze issues in two different boxes on ubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu
9.04.
I wonder if anyone in the list experienced issues of random freezes on
ubuntu since two months ago. The boxes were doing fine and it seems that
after some updates, things started breaking apart.
Bought boxes have nvidia cards. one box has an old TNT2 64mb and the other
one a G9600.
The TNT2 box even friezed while running the livecd, so I should discard any
issue with proprietary drivers. On the other box, most crashes happen when
running some audio stuff. 
I had a while guess that may be is related to pulse audio.

Please let me know if you have experienced similar issues.

Thanks,
Meir

Re: Ditching ubuntu

Yes, fedora uses pulseaudio too. 
But it may have a different version/implementation. It may not be related to
pulseaudio too. Even do, with fedora I have pulseaudio kind of freezing but
did not halt the whole system.

 Ubuntu suffers from the same disease that Red Hat Linux suffered from

 releases released to fit a schedule as opposed to getting them right.
 
 Eventually Red Hat wised up and dropped Red Hat Linux entirely,  
 splitting it into FEDORA with no support or quality control from them,  
 and RHEL which includes support, quality control, etc but does not  
 come out like clockwork, ready or not and costs money.

RE: parental control - outbound firewall?

I use DansGuargian using DENY ALL and just a small whitelist.

I think that only if you reject flash you may have a solution. I do not

I need your addvice on ISP troubleshooting.

[Meir Michanie]

Hi list,
for a month already I am experiencing some connectivity issues with
Netvision. I have a static IP, a router and a bunch of workstations and vms
behind it.
flood pinging my internal netwrok gives me good speed and no packet losts.
When trying to ping netvision or  any outside domain I get 60% packet losts.
I called them and they started asking  ping this, ping that and when I told
them that I was getting the packet losts as befor they started fudding me
with:
reconfig your router.
install windows.
call bezeq ( i have adsl)
I called bezeq and I got the same sh... , ping this and that.  and the same
solutions:
install windows, we do not support linux
I suspect that its all bull...t  as this configuration worked for years.
Anyhow, I would like to know your opinion. ( and yes I am posting this from
the same network)

1. How can I get real support ( I have a business account with netvision and
so far  I feel is not any advantage)
2. what are the nameservers I should use as forwarders.
3. How can I troubleshoot the issue

Re: Asterisk simple plan

Eran,
I think that the best way is to download the asterisk book (future of
telephony) and read it or at least browse it. The answer to your question is
there. it is an excellent book.
in oder words: RTFM. 

Regards,
Meir.

 Hi,
 I know how to write an extension which enables the caller to press a digit
 and do something. How can I make an extension which enables the caller to
 press a digit and then press another one, like a second cycle...
 For example, the caller presses digit 1, listen playback and then need to
 press 1 again or * to go back.
 Any idea?

ipconfig.py implementation (was: Re: Indirect reward)

[Meir Michanie]

default gateway with proc is not working, the following piece of code should
help.
#defaultgw=defaultgw
# wlan0   
#netstat is /proc/net/route
a = os.popen(netstat).read().split(\n)
a=a[2]
b=a.split('\t')
gwip=b[2];
defaultgw='%d.%d.%d.%d' % (int(gwip[6:],16), int(gwip[4:6],16) ,
int(gwip[2:4],16), int(gwip[0:2],16))

can you fix it,  or someone else would like to share credit of Omer great
job.?

P.S. once we have the code working I will do the donation.

where are the C programmers?

Re: JOB OFFER

[Meir Michanie]

I would like to thank the interest of ppl that responded to my call so far.

The projects I would like to get some immediate work done are:
1. Asterisk AGI /Billing
2. freeswitch 

Besides them, there are a bunch of projects I published at
www.riunx.com/portal

Why freelancer?
It could be a company, I think that the next sentence can fork to a separate
discussion. 
I think that the better programming is done at night by people that do it
because they love it and they have the need to scratch  them self.
A lousy programmer is the one that programs only at work and does a lousy
job.
A good programmer is the one that programs at work and does a work that it
is usable.
A Good Programmer (See the capitaling) is like the lousy programmer at work
but contribute at some FOSS and does some nice code at home on stuff he
likes.
A FOSS Programmer is the one that can not differentiate work and pleasure.
He will be eating what he cooks. And that is the guy I would like to get.
If someone would like to become the later, I would like to interest him/her
in short/simple projects.

Re: convert mp3 to GSM audio

I proposed it as it is a fast hack to generate recordings to be use

consider paying a pro to do the recording.

 This dialplan records a user with an extention that starts with 4 and
 two other numbers, and then play it back and stop end the call...

 Why will that convert mp3 file into gsm ?! Another issue, is that if
 you have bandwidth issue for example at the sip/iax2/zap... trunk,
 then the recording will not sound really well, specially on 8khz .

   
 then move the files at need.

This is ridiculous, have you seen Google Maps recently? All of the middle
east is covered with road information except Israel:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=israel
True, it's not as full as many other places (Brazil, New-Zealand, to name
some obvious leaders) but you can find details about the tiny alleys of
Cairo, for instance.

Re: openstreetmap

[Meir Michanie]

 By the way, have you seen www.mapa.co.il? I was under the impression that
it
 cost money - a lot of money - to use, but today I went there, and was
amazed.
 It seems to be free, it has Google-maps-like (AJAX) interface that works
 well in Firefox, it has street-maps, satelite pictures and a combined
view,
 and even pictures of individual buildings! It also has trip planning.
Heck,
 I couldn't find any useful feature of Google maps that mapa.co.il doesn't
 have, and apparently for free.
 

I would like to use a maps I can load into maemo mapper for the n800 and I
do not think that mapa would fill the bill.

Re: looking for a very simple ticket system

[Meir Michanie]

Dotan,
you saved my day. 
I have a very complex ticket system I wrote and used for years, but it has
been also 3 years since my last review of it. 
I was wondering between debuging my code and making it reusable or go
hunting for a nice simple substitute.
TaskFreak is all I need.

  The ticket system is not related to any software field (i.e. bugzilla

  Any suggestions, recommendations?

Asterisk Hardware - ATA

[Meir Michanie]

I see that posting about asterisk interested many people in the list as
I see nobody complained so far.
I would like to give my tip from my experience with grandstream ata 488.
I bought it from Tikal networks. It came with  a very  old firmware that
caused  me a lot of trouble.
1. It would disconnect phonecalls ramdomly.
2. there was no bridge mode between interfaces.
3. very low quality and echo.
4. the caller ID from the PSTN is not forwarded to the sip channel.
5. calling through the FXO did not work as a trunk but I would have to
call dial (SIPEXT,timeout,D(pstndest).
6. forced to ring once on the local phone before forwarding call to sip.

Today I upgraded to the latest firmware and now all issues beside the
caller id were solved. Shame that it didn't come with the latest
firmware, I would have a better taste on my mouth but may be lower
learning curve.

One more post.

Recommending a good printer.

[Meir Michanie]

Office depot is selling a laser printer samsung 1610 (350 shekel after
refund)
It is a truly plug and play with ubuntu and cups. A total different
experience from lexmark that rather you needed to install their own

Subscriber Choice

[Meir Michanie]

Continuing my reviews I would like to encourage everyone to get a Nokia
n800 internet tablet.
I previously owned zaurus pdas and I was scared about getting a device
with a builtin qwerty keyboard. I was wrong.
I bought the n800, a standard hp bluetooth keyboard and a small
bluetooth gps box.
I already ran sshd and a chroot debian (inside it I have gcc, perl, ...)
It is a real substitution of my laptop and I mean it. This week I sent
my laptop to HP labs and I keep working on the nokia box.
Recently nokia announced a new model , the n810 which it has gps and
hardware keyboard. I am waiting that it comes out to buy another n800
instead.
Why I think N800 is better than the upcoming N810.

1. N810 battery will drain out quicker as the gps eats from the same
battery.
2. Someone in the list posted how to install hebrew fonts and keyboard
for the n770 (it works also in n800.
Having a hardware keyboard instead the onscreen locks you to the printer
characters in the hw keypad.
3. I prefer typing in a big keyboard with more than the two thumbs as
with a phone
4. Sometimes you want to put the gps receiver right under the sun inside
the card where there is the best reception. but it is not the best place
to look at the screen of your handheld.

Conclusion:
I wish all the best to nokia and I hope truly linux/unix hackers support
them buy buying these devices and enjoying linux everywhere.

P.S. I even ran a PBX inside the n800. (freeswitch)

Re: Recommending a good printer.

[Meir Michanie]

On the Lexmark 232 I printed thousands of pages with one catridge.
On the second catridge the printer start chunking on paper.
for 350 I will not cry if I have to throw it away.  It is far better
deal that buying any ink jet printer.

Hetz Ben Hamo wrote:
 Meir,

 You might want to check which cartidge do you get with the printer
 (make sure it's not some sort of economic cartridge which means it
 is less then half full), and you should also check how much a
 replacement cartidge costs..

 You really don't want to buy a 350NIS laser printer, only to be forced
 to pay 500 for the cartridge later..

 Thanks,
 Hetz

 This must be a copy/paste error. I figure you meant:

 [from-pri]
 _X.,1,answer
 _X.,n,dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED])

 (_X. rather than X_.). A _ at the beginning of the extension name
 means it should be parsed as a pattern extension. This gives special
 meaning to X, . and others.

 So the above mean:

 1. First-off answer the call
 2. Now attempt to connect it to a specific SIP destination.

 Automatically answering an incoming call may not be the best idea.
 Suppose that the destination phone was busy. You still told the PRI
 provider that the call was accepted, and hence the call will be charged.

 Dial will answer calls when it is able to connect it with the
 destination, so an explicit Answer() is not required.


 Ido already gave some comments about a better usage of SIP peers rather
 than mearly [EMAIL PROTECTED], so I'll assume you have a peer set up
 for that destination, called dest-peer. In that case you could use:

   Dial(SIP/dest-peer)

 instead. This allows a better definition of codecs and such. You may
 also want to dial an explicit number to the destination. For example:

   Dial(SIP/dest-peer/${EXTEN})

 (this dials there the number that was dialed to you, in case you have
 more than one)

 This is not exactly a GPL violation,
 I'm not sure you are right about this.
 
 Here's my take on things. The kernel is GPL, which means that all
 derived work of it needs to be GPL too, or it is infringing on the
 kernel's copyright.
 
 There are three approaches to understanding binary only modules:
 
 One is to say that merely using the interface does not make a module
 derived work, and therefor the GPL doesn't apply. This claim is backed
 up by the fact that interfaces are not considered copyrightable (or else
 Wine, Samba and many others would be infringing work, and all user-space
 programs would have to be GPL). The way I see it, this true ONLY if the
 interface involved is well documented and stable. I believe you will
 find that the kernel-module interface is neither. This is also why I
 think that creating an adapter module, that exports a well-documented
 stable interface out of the kernel would allow perfectly legal binary
 modules. Even if the kernel's interface was stable and documented (or
 otherwise defined as non-derived work), I highly doubt their trick
 uses the interface alone, and so this protection is highly likely not
 relevant for this case.
 
 The second case is to say that the kernel export functions themselves
 give permission. It's called מכלל לאו יוצא הן. If you export 10
 symbols, and you tell me not to touch 3 of them unless I'm GPL, I have a
 very good case for claiming that I am allowed to touch the other 7
 (despite all of Muli's claims to the contrary). Here, as before, the
 moment their binary module links with symbols that are defined as GPL
 Only, it is, in fact, sidestepping the above permission, and is
 infringing on the kernel's copyright.
 
 The third possibility (which I do not buy into) is to say that there are
 no exceptions, and that binary only modules are not allowed. If that is
 the case, this is no greater GPL violation, but it certainly is bringing
 the copyright disregard to new levels.
 
 So I think that claiming that this is not a GPL violation is a bit naive.
 What would you do?
   
 Now were talking about the real dillema.
 do you just protest but keep working there?
   
 It's very easy to say No!! when it's someone else's money. It really
 depends. If you can afford to lose the client, I'd consider stopping
 working with them, but the details really depends.
 make that information public?
   
 A professional lives by his/her reputation. You have to let your clients
 know that they can trust you not to go behind their back. It may be a
 big enough violation for you to stop working with the client, but unless
 it's a life threatening neglect, I wouldn't go public with such things.
 Inform lkml how they fooled the kernel without revieling the identity of
 the violators, just to help them patch it for the future?
   
 You already did so here, didn't you?
 
 No, the specifics of how to do the bypass don't really matter. I don't
 think anyone has any interest in a cat-and-mouse game such as this. As I
 have said above (in the is this a GPL violation part), it's the intent
 that counts.
 spill the beans on Slashdot?
   
 I fail to see what good that will do.
 and what would you do if it was a real GPL violation?
   
 I think it is a GPL violation. All my answers above apply. I'd let them
 know that, as far as I know, this is a GPL violation. I'll draw their
 attention to the fact that they can lose all distribution rights.
 will a signed NDA with that company make a difference in your decision?
   
 Absolutely not. I have clients that asked for a signed NDA as a
 pre-condition to interviewing me to find out whether I'm good enough for
 them. I have clients that asked for an NDA half a year after I already
 started working with them. I have clients that never asked for an NDA at
 all. As far as I'm concerned, my reputation is at stake here. NDA or
 not, I have to have the trust of my clients, which means that anything
 the client would really not like to be known, I keep confidential. The
 only exception I can think of is life threatening neglect, and again,
 then an NDA wouldn't change my actions one way or the other.
 Thanks,
 Ira.

Debian 3.0 lindows 4.0

[Meir Michanie]

Hi list, 
I am testing a few distros.
I got Lindows 4.
My review: 
I got a new  P4 2.4 with intel motherboard with agp , eth onboard.
RH9 installs perfect in it.
Lindows goes to graphic mode (640x480) cause it could not resolve the
module for the video card. After a few screens you are asked to accept
some question, but the buttons are unreacheables. I though that I may
found some help on the net. nothing there. There is a diagnostics mode
that throws you to the shell. There is also no info in the net of what
can you do with it.
but anyhow I tried adding under the Display Section:
Virtual 800 600
and it did not work.
I installed in another machine, the install asks you for a password (not
required) for what it became clear after it that it was for the root
user. 
On the kdm it shows as username administrator, but if you check the
/etc/passwd there is only root.
there is no ssh installed.
Ppl are supposed to use the click  run to install software (you have to
pay for the service).
opening terminal and running
cat /etc/apt/sources.list shows that points to the debian stable.
so you can install whatever you whant  with synaptic ( you need to run
apt-get install synaptic first).

:)

Now Debian 3

what a deception. I tried cd1, cd5, mini.
I tried booting the bf24 ...
it has the module eepro100 but even do running cat /proc/pci shows that
it is my ethernet card.
it fails to load even when forced.

Googling I only got a few postof people saying that either it work out
of the box or that they have to recompile a new kernel
Knoppix (based on debian) runs the module without problem on the same
pc.

I know that till now I wrote like a review, but the real point is that I
am using RH for long time and I would like to switch to Debian because I
like the apt-get system ( install once, run forever).

I am sure there must be out there debians servers running the lastest
software with a uptime of years.

Can anybody help me to help me get in theDebian world? I though of
libranet, but I would like to stick with the source.

yours, Meir.

Mistery resolved. making linux behave as multitask, multiusermachine.

[Meir Michanie]

short answer: overheat

explanation: the computer would work very stable for days, without any
problem. but would locked if i try to rip a dvd. 
Reason: transcode use almost 100% cpu. using 100% of CPU in a so
demanding task would make the cpu temperature to raise. 
Solution: I opened the machine, put a big domestic fun in front of the
board. and started the rip. Today morning the job was done and the
system working. 
LONG LIVE LINUX!!!

Re: disk on key

[Meir Michanie]

I have a 8mg diskonkey. It came with several partitions, the one for
storage was /dev/sda4

run fdisk -l /dev/sda to see the partitions structure.

then try mounting /dev/sda[1,2,3,4,...]


 Micha Feigin wrote:
 I borrowed an 8 MB diskonkey from someone and I just can't seem to
 mount it.
 What modules would it need?


 DOn't knwo about additional modules, but there's one thing that bit me
 in the past - for some reasons, some USB disk on key are paritioned in
 such a way that you need to mount the first *parition* to get access to
 the data: /dev/sda1 for example and not mount the whole driver as might
 have been expected.

 Hope this helps,
 Gilad.

Re: [OT] [JOB OFFER] - We we are looking for Linux Kernel Guru

[Meir Michanie]

I would like to remark the point. I am not saying that ppl with Bsc are
not good. I am saying that if you have the knowledge of all the previous
points, so the last point is superflous. 

another two things, try to sum up the number of years of experience
requiered, if the guy is good he has have expended at least 8 years at
senior level + the years of learning. 

Would Marcelo Tosatti qualify for the job position?

I feel that the MUST requierment for a Bsc is like a cancer in the
opensource community where you are valuable by what you do and not who
you are. IF you have the knowledge and you know how to use it, so you
are the guy.

The day I will have my own company I would judge ppl for what they can
do, the fast they can learn what do they not know and their joy at work.

 Why a Bsc is so important, Most of the Phds guys I know are not good for practical 
 issues, and most of them even not at theorical.
 
 I quit univeristy twice and I am partialy proud of it.
 
 I try to think hard enought why it could be of interest to hire a Bsc,... And the 
 only reason I see is that it may serve to show off to potential 
 
 investors.

Making linux behave as a real multiuser multitask os.

[Meir Michanie]

Hi, here is my problem:
There are times that when I am ripping a movie, or doing something else like opening 
mozilla ( as a regular user)
my computer freezes. Not even a BSOD.
even if run the script with nice 10.
in the file /etc/security/limits.conf you can setup:
cpu - max CPU time (MIN) or nproc - max number of processes I do not know if when 
a proccess reach this limit is killed or suspended.
anyway cpu time is not a real parameter to see if a proccess is coucking the machine. 
for example autorun has a bigger time that a mozilla instance that just started.
there is a little applet in kde to catch runaway proccess (it is not based in perc of 
CPU).

How can I limit the percentage of CPU for a regular user? 
If the proccess that is limited jump to the execution to system level (like writing to 
hdd) will still hang the PC.

How can you prevent an user from killing the resources of a shared server?

I would like to have a preemtive system so no one can pass the limit, and not a 
monitor that would tell me that someone is misbehaving.

TIA

Re: Problem with apache.

[Meir Michanie]

hi Josh, 
if the script is trying to write or create a file make sure that the
directory is owned by the same user and/or group  that apache is
running.
to see whats the user that apache is using look at
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

if the directory where the script is trying to write a file is
/var/www/html/tmp

do: ls -l /var/www/html/ 
make sure that it is owned by the user that is running apache, i.e.:

chown apache.apache /var/www/html/
chmod g+w
chmod u+w
or 
chown root.apache /var/www/html/
chmod g+w
chmod u+w

yours, Meir.

Re: open /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

[Meir Michanie]

Sometimes on RH7.3 I would log on as an user.
logoff and log on as another and I would get the same message.
why? because the own of the device also changes to the last user using
it.
I do not why it does not change allways so
I run chmod 666 /dev/dsp
chmod 666 /dev/mixer
and always work.

 /dev/dsp is the sound device driver. If some application uses it, another cannot
 use it at the same time, as far as I know. If you are running KDE, the kde
 itself is using it, so your app can't open the device directly. But you can try
 to run your application like this:
 
 $ artsdsp yourapp
 
 Or otherwise you kan kill the 'artsd' daemon (killall artsd), (but then KDE
 itself will not make sounds..)

Multiple instances

[Meir Michanie]

Proposal: run different distributions at lower cost. Learn how to
install, use, upgrade...

Options: 

1. buy a machine per distro:
Pros: no simulation, good hardware support.
Cons: too expensive, takes room.

2. buy a removable HDD per distro:
Pros: no simulation, good hardware support.
Cons: run one sys at the time.No shared partition

3. use user-mode-linux http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net
Pros: run multiple instances,distros.Simulate different harware
configuration.
Cons: installation is not genuine. limited hardware support ( no sound,
video,...)

4. buy vmware
Pros: extended hardware simulation(scsi,...), multiple instance.
Cons: the host and guest distros are limited. ( I wanted to try
debian,slackware)

5. Multiple partitions (look article at
www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux)
Pros: you have access to shared partitions.
Cons: one instance at a time.

Questions:
Who tried option 5, and what was his/her results?
Who is using one of this options and what are his/her comments?
