Re: Debian 12 (bookworm) vs. Nvidia?

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

With Fedora, I usually drop/boot into single user, and remove any package
with NVIDIA in their name,

rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia | xargs dnf remove -y
   # rpm -qa return all locally installed packages

this brings me to a clean state, which allow me to install the nvidia
driver again.
I think you should be able to do the same with Debian based distro, unless
you used NVIDIA installer directly.

Re: Debian 12 (bookworm) vs. Nvidia?

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

My experience with NVIDIA and DKMS is that with very recent Kernels the
build can break,
but I didn't have that for some time now (years).

Also, I get my driver from my distro repo (Fedora), which reduce the chance
of these issues.

Re: IPv6 routing issue with Telegram

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Nice catch,

IPv4 works, as the moment I remove the address from my interface, I can
connect to the site.
>From what I can see, it does able to complete the TLS handshake, and I can
see the certificate.
And I see the same behavior from inside a container.

Ping to the address seems to be working, and I don't see any routing issue
to the destination.

Issue with telegram service?

IPv6 routing issue with Telegram

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Hi list,

Can you please help me identify if the issue, is in my end / ISP (Bezeq)
and not the service it self.

When I try to load telegram web, with IPv6 address, the connection will
hang for me.

❯ curl --connect-timeout 3 -Iv6 https://web.telegram.org/
* processing: https://web.telegram.org/
*   Trying [2001:67c:4e8:f004::9]:443...
* Connected to web.telegram.org (2001:67c:4e8:f004::9) port 443
* ALPN: offers h2,http/1.1
* TLSv1.3 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
*  CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
*  CApath: none
* SSL connection timeout
* Closing connection
curl: (28) SSL connection timeout


But I don't have this issue with other IPv6 services, like google.com

Can you please check on your side? and which ISP are you using?

Thanks. Regards

Re: .il domain names with IPv6 support

Same as Omer, I don't use my domain registrar infrastructure. I delegate

I use cf API to manage the records, issue certs with letencreypt. And
provide a Dynamic DNS records for services I host.

Re: Interesting Grub issue [Solved]

Not sure where I found this, and I have this in my efi/grub file,
but you can chain the EFI grub.cfg to the one you're generating (just make
sure to change the uuid for the disk)

```
#/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=dev 38b0586f-2715-4493-a548-e12902f1b68d
set prefix=($dev)/grub2
export $prefix

Re: slightly OT - backup strategy

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Using ZFS with sanoid 

ZFS will give you all the benefits of COW filesystem, compression, and
snapshots (and much more),
combined with sanoid utility will allow you to automate the snapshots and
send them to a remote system,
and because ZFS is block-level aware of the changes between snapshots,
send is much more efficient,
because unlike Rsync which needs to stats and compare each file to
determine what to sync,
ZFS only need to compile a list of block which have changed between 2
snapshots and send only them.
which also works if the volume is encrypted, which allows you to have a
remote system, which is encrypted on rest,
and keep pushing/sending snapshots to it without having to unlock it.

In that  case use tools like SyncThing, which let you have a sync folder

Do you have this problem when accessing the files when the share is mounted

I know I had this problem, when Gnome/Mate mounted the shares via fuse or
gvfs which not all applications know how to work with.

Re: Fedora 35 and nbd

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

On Fedora 35, and I can reproduce your case,

# modprobe nbd nbds_max=3 && ls -l /dev/nbd* | wc -l
3
# modprobe -r nbd
# modprobe nbd nbds_max=42 && ls -l /dev/nbd* | wc -l
42

Re: Telegram - locale error

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

try overwriting the LANG to en_US.UTF-8 for the run time, and see if it
works.

(I personally recommend a more All-In-One tool for all this Electron App,
like Rambox)

Re: disabling ipv6

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

For best control you should go with the option of splitting the ISP router
to only act as modem, and have a FW like PFsense/OpenSense for the rest
(FW,DHCP 4/6, DNS,  ).
and have several wireless APs spread across the house, which act only as AP
base stations. It's a bit more expensive, but it will give you the peace of
mind you are looking for.

Re: How user space applications can take advantage of CPU features

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I'm not much of an expert, but the first thing that comes to mind is the
binary size and speed.
If you only need to implement the code once, and have a single optimized
version, the output will be smaller, and probably a bit faster.

Re: Python and Ubuntu versions

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Many tools in the os are based on Perl or Python,
so I won't recommend changing the base version which comes with the OS.

Go with containers (e.g docker), and decuple the code from the os.

[OT] How to change language to English on the P-touch 300

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Hi ,

I have one of the devices (see pic here: https://imgur.com/fNrFbwD),
and suddenly it stuck on Hebrew,
and i'm not able to find any key combo to switch it back to English.

Does anyone have experience with this device ?
or know how to switch the language on it ?

Thanks in advance,

At my work place there is a fax server which was installed over 10 years

We use is only for receiving fax (local Fax2Mail service)

You can move it to the ubuntu user crontab (crontab -e)
just remember to remove the "root" from the line.

החיים שלך תותים אם GoDaddy לא הצליחו לדפוק אותך בדרך כזאת או אחר.
גם לי יש רק דברים רעים להגיד עלהם.

בכול אופן לשאלה המקורית שלך,
התשובה שלי לא השתנתה מאז שכתבתי אותה ואני עדיין חושב שהיא נכונה.
לך לרשם הכי זול , תפנה את ה-NS-ים לשירות כמו CLOUDFLATE שנותן לך ניהול ZONE
בחינם עם עוד עשרות אופציות בחינם, וזהו
ושים לעצמך תזכורת ביומן לגבי מועד החידוש כדי שלא תסמוך שהרשם ישלח לך תזוכרת
בזמן ושתראה אותה.

I didn't have this expirence with On-Board devices, but one way to debug
this is to run jurnalctl in follow mode

journalctl -f --full | grep -v -e "some" -e "common" -e "stuff" -e "to
filter out"

and see what happen in the system when you lose audio focus.

Is the sound card is onboard device or is it on a USB port ? (like a a DAC)

Re: how to copy an ubuntu system disk containing a logical volume.

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I won't give up on LVM yet, it's a very useful technology to have and use
(snapshots is one of them),
you can create the same base layout on the new disk with /boot and LVM/VG
for the rest of the disk
and then use `dd` to clone the content from one partition/lvm to another.

if you need more details for how to do it, just let me know, i will be
happy to help.

Re: Moving away from cron jobs to some workflow manager

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

systemd is a complete different tool, which was not designed for this kinda
purpose.
(maybe in the future it will grow to be something like that ;-) )

I'm looking for something a bit more sophisticated then "go to this
machine" and "run this script" and "expect this result"
i like to define execution time limits (finish in 3 minute) and maybe some
grace time (can go up to 5 minute) and have the orchestrator monitor the
process and have a nice dashboard where i can see every thing from above
(this is why Airflow was looked so appealing, but the installation process
and the documentation are still lagging behind).

Re: Moving away from cron jobs to some workflow manager

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

never heard of it,
but from reading the manual and the 10minute presentation ,
it's seems like it is more suitable for data crunching, where you have a
pool
of compute resources and you submit jobs to it.

my case is a bit different, where I have many jobs which need to run
(orchestrated) on there own hosts
with a specific environment and setup.

Moving away from cron jobs to some workflow manager

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Hi all,

I need some advice, currently I have a huge cron file which schedules tasks
one after anther, and each task is position precisely (with some room for
error) to start after it predecessor.

So if one job start at 00:00 and it will go and fetch some files and it
takes 3minutes
the next job will be after start right after at ~00:05
and so on

the problem is that if one job fails, all other jobs which are depend on
him will fail as well, and then I get a shitload of alerts, and the worst
part is that if i have to manually start a batch process I need to go to
each machine and manually start each job in the right order,

I was looking to resolve this problem with a tool which can manage this
"pipe line"
and I cam across several tools like Luigi and (apache-)AirFlow, I started
with Luigi but It didn't look
right for the job, and then I tried airflow, but was not able to make it to
work, the jobs queue never executed. =(

Has any one have experience with airflow, or other tool like it which they
can recommend ?
My needs are to be able to execute my CURRENT shell/python/php scripts and
build the dependency between them, and I perfer the option for remote exec
so that I will have central
place to manage and monitor all work flow whichs are executed on several
nodes.

Thanks in advance,
Rabin

Re: VDSL modem recommendation

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

About TD-W9980, I have it, and I was happy with at first, but not so much
any more,
TP-LINK dose not publish any fimware updates for it, and the WRT support is
defiantly not for common users.

I also think that having a modem even as closed source and not WRT
supported is not a biggie if you're going to use it in bridge mode.

Re: Server load spike debugging

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

You can set a monitoring (or even just a script)
to trigger (e.g when cpu usage > 50%) a profile recording for few secs
and then you can inspect them with a tool like FlameScope

which will allow you do dig deeper into the stack and understand where is
the problem is coming from.

​Thank you, the is exactly what i was looking for.​

​Right now I'm starting to play with ovirt which is more of POC for a small
setup,
but as you may know, some setups will become "production"  ​if the POC works
and I was looking around to see which platform is more popular, and where

and which host-os have a better upgrade path

Great good to know , I will also check the mailing next,

I started playing with ovirt to try and setup a small setup for my dev
needs,
but I'm wondering if using ovirt-node is recommended over using centos/rhel
7 ?

​ovirt-node with version 4.1 gave a alot of problems with nfs shares
but 4.2 did work much better "out of the box"​ after clean install (I was
not able to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 with ovirt-nodes)

so my question is basicly , if I'm looking to setup something for the long
run, which I can extend and upgrade in the near future,
which host platform should I choose ? ovirt-node or a simple CentOS7 ?

​Tx

Re: Distro recommendation

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I like to go with Fedora MATE spin as I find it resource friendly.
and I use compiz as my window manager to have a very robust features and
some eye candy features as well.

Fedora move fast and have a short release cycle (6 month),
so having to deal with new stuff each 6 month can be a burden for someone
how just want his computer to work.
in that case I'll recommend a distro which is based on Ubuntu LTS e,g
Ubuntu MATE.

MATE desktop dose not support HiDPI display yet, unlike KDE and Gnome3
but if you prefer to use KDE, both Fedoa and Ubuntu have a spin of it.

there is also KDE neon which uses a stable base of the OS (Ubuntu LTS IIRC),
and all the KDE stuff are coming directly from upstream (rolling)

Re: איך לשלוח מסות של דואר

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

one things to note about this services is that if the client side use
postgray/graylisting to "filter" incoming mail,
this mails can arrive after several hours. because for each 4xx/soft-fail
attempt they will try to send the mail from another host/ip which will also
be soft-block.

i have this problem with several services like this.
and I had to white-list them on my mail servers.

but that is a client side problem and not Lior's, but you should be aware
of this as well.

I didn't test LineageOS for Note devices, IIRC you will lose most of the
pen functionality.

you can flash an up2date rom from SamMobile with odin,
if you really paranoid you can use the repartition option which will erase
all the emmc and recreate the partition table from scratch (but be careful
with this!)

Re: Open Source Physical Access Control Solutions in Israel?

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I did some research about this some time ago,
and I found out you can use a basic/cheap RFID reader + RPi to achieve this,
my problem was that the cheap RFID reader i bought didn't come with any
documentation
and I only had a simple windows application which can do 3 actions Single
Read/Single write/reading in a loop
the driver was just a simple USB-2-SERIAL (FTDI) driver
and the application communicated via serial interface.
opening a serial-monitoring tool I found the command for each action.
... but this is where I stopped working on it.

but you can definitely make it a DIY project with the kids
you will also require to buy a electric lock and a relay (the RPi can't
drive/operate the lock directly)

Re: ZFS on Linux (Was: Corrupt file system)

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I haven't tried it with Ubuntu, but since Ubuntu is trying to reach the
corporate world,
and they are the first distro to support ZFS,
I guess they will ensure you do not get A broken module,
and so I expect it to be A more smoothly experience.

PS. even with Fedora, it only happen to me once, that the kernel was ahead
of the package in the ZFS repo, and the package didn't build.
and ever since I just check the github issue page before a major upgrade
(eg. from F25->F26), to make sure there is no problem and there is A repo
ready for the new release.

but even if the build will fail for a new kernel, that only limit you from
using the new kernel to access the data, you can still boot with the older
kernel which the module was successfully compiled on it.

Re: ZFS on Linux (Was: Corrupt file system)

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

ZFS is not "native" Linux fs, it was ported from Solaris & BSD OS's,
you can read more about it in the history section of ZFS wiki page
.

- FreeNAS use it for the NAS storage pool,
- Ubuntu/Canoncial started to integrate it with version 16.04 (IIRC)
- and I also tried it on my laptop with Fedora (which some time's breaks
because of the frequent Kernel upgrades)

Re: OT: Israeli domain names

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Marketing!

- you can register for 1$ (inc 0.18$ fee for ICANN) but the renewal cost
will be much higher (~15$) "שיטת מצליח".
- .com/.net domain name space are crowded, go find a nice short name in
them, so not a good compare, check other CC TLD's.
- very cheap cost will flood the domain space with domain trolls which will
buy any combination just in case
- 50 NIS is not that high compare to all the rest -- e.g -
https://www.hover.com/domains/results?q=troll-hunter-co-il

Just move to the cheapest registrar (Box as of this moment) and use
cloudflare to manage your zone.
never had a problem, never called there support service.

Re: Internet recommendations

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I can't recommend XPhone, I tried them just after the "רפורמה הסיטונאית"
started, and my VPN connections  were dropping constantly, I retuned to BBL
after 2 days, and I'm with them ever since. over the past 5 years i think i
had one issue with them, it was seems they were hijacking DNS traffic, my
router is configured to use Google Public DNS servers (8.8.8.8) and so all
my machines in the LAN, but some direct query's were failing (or not
returning a consistent result), so eventually after having a long
conversation with the LEVEL1 and then LEVEL2 support I find out that they
enabled some "CyberWall" service on my account, so I requested to removed
it, and I have no problems ever since.

Re: Arduino on Mageia linux

what is the output of `dmesg` when you connect the device to the machine ?

e.g, should be something like this,

[393503.604738] usb 1-4.2: new full-speed USB device number 71 using

Re: Help configuring Multiboot from ISOs

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

my 2c for this thread,

- when I created my multi-boot USB I had to defrag the ISO after copying
them to the USB, other wise the ISO won't boot properly.
- I used a simple tool like -
https://www.pendrivelinux.com/tag/multiboot-iso/ to create the inital menu
, and extended it manually.

Re: Smart home/electricity open standard

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Just like many I have a dream to "wire" my house with smart devices to
control (and monitor) every aspect,
but unfortunately I didn't have the time to implement any of it (yet)

but I keep my eyes open on the matter and I follow the HackADay blog to
learn about new stuff,
this is how I came across the sonoff devices which where the first devices
I purchase because the option to reprogram there firmware
and avoid the vendor lock problem which most of this devices have.

The OpenHAB froums are also a great place to find devices which work
seamlessly with OpenHAB and find other hardware recommendation.

Re: Smart home/electricity open standard

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

There are many implementation and non of them are open standard (iirc)
e.g - https://www.postscapes.com/internet-of-things-protocols/

If you looking to start smart home project, you should probably start with
the server
which will manage and will the intermediate for all protocols and devices
-- one of them call OpenHAB <https://www.openhab.org/>

some devices will require a firmware flashing to make them to work with
your "cloud" and not the vendor.

one popular and cheep devices to start with are the Sonoff switches.

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I came a cross this page, others who are looking for new Linux laptop my
find it useful

https://www.slant.co/topics/1184/~laptops-for-linux

my 2c on the matter,
the Lenovo P50 + Dock-station is not working properly ( DisplayPort MST ),

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

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

My 2c for this discussion is ,

*STAY AWAY FROM HYBRID DISPLAYS !!! (aka Optimus or any other
implementation) *

The current state is disaster, with some minimal support.
Only recently Fedora (25) took it as priority to support hybrid graphics
cards out of the box (in Gnome3 only).
and even then only with nouveau driver.

Stick with Intel !

Also check for multi display support with Linux when using a Dockstation.

Mapping a (lagcy) PHP application

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Hello everyone,

I inherited a legacy application/code which was originally written in PHP4,
and letter on was "upgraded" to PHP5.

the code is (mostly) a collection of individual pages which are stitched
some how together to form a working web-application.

the code base is quite big and I'm looking for a tool which can create some
sort of a (visual) work-flow view of the code, just so I could get a
overview of the application.

I googled a bit and found a tool called phpCallGraph which won't run and it
seems is not minted any more.

Some one on stackoverflow

suggested to use xdebug profiling option and visualize the result with
KCacheGrind, but it didn't give me what is hopping for - a workflow.

Do anyone have any suggestion for a tool which can help me to get a
work-flow for the application ?

Thanks in advance

Re: CentOS yum install problem

Seems right, try commenting the mirror line and use a direct URL, and see

Re: CentOS yum install problem

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

+1 for `yum clean all`

also make sure your repos in the `/etc/yum.repo.d/` folder are enabled and
are pointing to a valid repos.
some VPS provider will change the url's in this files to point to there
proxy server to save time and BW,

Re: Raspberry PI - analog sensors with Arduino

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

אין מידע טכני על הערכה עצמה (יש רק רשימה של המודולים), אבל ממה שאני רואה
מהתמונה השניה מדובר ברכיבים שמורכבים על לוחות PCB שיש לו פינים שאמורים להקל
עליך לחבר את ה"מודול" לתוך מטריצה מחוררת
<http://skpang.co.uk/catalog/images/raspberrypi/kits/IMG_0003.jpg> ואז אתה
רק צריך לגשר מה-BOARD של ה-RPI לתבנית.

שים לב גם שה-RPI לא אמור לתת לך הרבה זרם ביציאה של הפינים , אז אל תנסה
להשתמש בו כדי לדחוף התקנים טובענים שצורכים הרבה זרם (ממסרים , מנועים וכ"ד)
אחרת זה יהרוס לך את היציאות של ה-RPI (בשביל למתג דברים כאלה אתה תצתרך סוג
של דוחף זרם\טרנזיסטור)

-- 
בגדול נראה לי שהערכה תעבוד ,
מהתעוד של ה-GPIO של ה-RPI אני רואה שהוא עובד על מתחים של 5V ו-3.3, שזה אמור
להספיק לך לרוב הדברים שאני רואה שם בערכה בלי בעיה.
אבל כדי להיות בטוח הייתי מבקש מהספק שישלח לך DATASHEET פרטני יותר של כל
הרכיבים שיש שם בערכה.

Re: Raspberry PI - analog sensors with Arduino

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

קח בחשבון שיש הבדל מהותי בין שימוש בצ'יפים נטו לבין מודולים מוכנים,
לרוב מודולים יעשו לך את העבודה הקשה של התממשקות עם ה-CHIP וגם קינפוג ברמת
החיווט!
כמו כן גם יחשפו לך את המידע על פרוטוקול סיריאלי פשוט כמו RS232, בלי שתצתרך
להמיר אותו.

אם אתה לוקח ADC למשל ומנסה להשתמש בו AS-IS אתה צריך לעבור על ה-DATASHEET
שלו כדי להבין כיצד להביא אותו למצב עבודה.
ולהבין כיצד לבצע איתו דגימות וכיצד לתרגם את התשובה שלו לערך עשרוני.

Re: Chromium homepage problem - OR - Have I been hacked?

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

try disabling all your extension,
some extensions developers will sell there extensions to some 3rd party
 which will then embed some nasty stuff inside of them.

worst case, you can try and reset your chrome profile.

Re: Hebrew monospace font

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I also was looking for a Hebrew mono spaced font, but didn't found any one
i like ,

I was looking for a why to merge the Hebrew glyphs from GNU-Mono into
Anka/Code but using fontforge,
but it didn't work for me, so i gave up.

But some applications/editor's/IDE's support the option to set a secondary
font as fallback
- this allow me to set the default to the one i like (currently it
Anka/Code and Source Code Pro)
- and use GNU Mono as my fallback font

In my opinion , a good place to start is this list -

find one/two that meet your demand, and then check if they have support for
openwrt/dd-wrt

Re: ביצוע תיאום מס באתר המיסים

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Open the `Developer Console` and goto the network tab,
clean the log before pressing the "חשב" button, this should give a better
overview what really is happening.

- also try and change/fake the user-agent string and see if that help in
any why.
- my guess is that there is some JS not hooking.

I had a "problem" with tlp & powertop when i tried to used this tools to
configure my system (laptop) to conserve energy,
I enabled all tunable options, and I started to experience smiler symptom
as you describe above,
where my mouse will suddenly stop working, and my disk was contently
sniping down and that created lags when I was switching tabs in the browser.

Re: Summary: Which Linux distribution is stable yet up-to-date

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I never said Fedora is unstable!
Arch can be unstable because it try to be on the bleeding edge,

Fedora is "bleeding edge" as far as a stable release can be.
and it has a short release/support cycle.

Re: persistent private browsing ?

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

In my case for each new Chrome session I install `ublock origin` , which
allow you to backup your setting to a file.
but you may find where the plugin save it configuration and re-apply them
after chrome start.

I also now about `proxy switchysharp` which allow you to export it
configurations.

Re: portable encypted filesystem

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

VeraCrypt is fork which continue the TrueCrypt legacy,
TrueCrypt had some audit (crowd source founded) on the encryption part
(algorithm and stuff), the boot loader,  and the windows kernel driver
(IIRC).

they found few  vulnerabilities at first (3 I think), but nothing critical,
and they were patched in VeraCrypt.

next was a bug in the windows driver which allowed a user/process to gain
SYSTEM privileges.
which also was patched.

Re: persistent private browsing ?

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

That's right, Incognito/Privet Browsing mode share the same session.
this is why you need to create a new profile for each case.

Chrome & Firefox can be configure to run with pre-installed addons,
but you may need to configure them if needed.
but there some extension which allow you to export there settings (so maybe
you can automate the import ?).

I'm using chrome and launch it with a new DATADIR each time. (see here

useful for sites which need flash.

I was having problems downloading the CRX files so now i just point them

which support file revision, access control, indexing to allow searching &
taging.

I also need a way to document emails as part of the process.

I'm looking for something which is Opensource (but it doesn't need to be

but if anyone have another options, i would like to here from you.

Re: Accessing / Controling ProvisionISR DVR from Linux

מהניסיון שלי עם המוצרים האלה כולם כנראה נבנים על ידי אותו חברה ורק משנים

לחלק מהממשקים יש אפשרות לפתוח פורט נוסף שמאפשר גישה לאפליקציית המוביל שלהם

הפתרון הפשוט ביותר במקשה שלך זה VM של XP עם IE6\7\8 גרסאות גבוהות יותר

Re: Parsing compilation errors and automatic resolving

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I'm not much of a developer, but if the application you are trying to
compile is a C/C++ program (i also used this method to find Perl missing
library's), you can grep through all the .C/.h files for the '#include'
lines and extract the needed library's which are needed for the application
to run. then you can use the distro manager to locate the packages which
provides the necessary files.

In Fedora i use yum/dnf provides */xyz.h and on Debian based distro you
have apt-file search

 Hi Linux-IL members,

 I'm using bidiv to read Hebrew in mutt.

 It works ok with reading Hebrew messages, but not when reading the
 subject headers, which still show the Hebrew backwards.

 So I wrote the following script caled bidi_index to enable reading of
 Hebrew in the subjects:

 echo $@  /tmp/index.out  bidiv /tmp/index.out

 and I added to .muttrc the following:

 set index_format = /home/alan/.mutt/bidi_index %D %-15.15L   %s (%Z) |

 (I tried piping the text directly to bidiv, but I got an error, so I write
 to a temp file, and I have my script read the temp file.)

 Mutt shows the Hebrew properly, but it creates a new problem. The minimum
 length for the sender's name no longer works. My setting is for a minimum
 length of 15 chars, as in the index_format setting I quoted above, but if
 the name is less than 15 chars, mutt does not pad the rest of the 15 chars
 with blanks.

 This problem doesn't exist if I don't pipe to my script.

 Does anyone know how to fix with this problem, or does anyone have an
 alternative way of displaying Hebrew in mutt (which you've checked gets
 around this problem)?

 I'm using Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15) on a gnome-terminal in Ubuntu 12.04,
 with LC_ALL=en_US.utf8.

Re: OT: video capture

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

My experience with them is mixed,

the first device i bought (easyCAP from DX) didn't work well, and i got
many segfault with it, don't remember the chip-set that was use in that
device back then (2.5/3 years ago), had to compile the module from source
(not a very active community around this device driver/module) many bad
experience.

Then i borrowed a slimier device from my collage and test it on windows
(finding drivers for Win7 64bit was a bitch back then), anyway, at the end
it worked i preferred to record the caste to a uncompressed AVI file (~20G
per 3 hours) and not use the direct MPEG2 encoder.

Then I use VirtualDub to apply some filters to optimize the picture quality
(CROP few lines the bottom, some soft bluing i think and one more for the
lines which i can't recall right now), and used DivX for compressing the
video and mp3 for the audio (and I used a single pass compression).

then i used the device on my Linux machine (F17 i think back then), and it
worked, seems like my first device had a hardware problem.

Bottom line (for me) was, not all silicon chips created the same, and be
careful when buying cheap converters.

 Thanks, but I was looking for a more personal experience. I found devices
 as cheap as $5 on Chinese sites, some of them with free shipping. I'm
 looking for success or failure stories. What the setup was, how easy or
 hard it was to use, what the final results are like.

  What kind?
  Where did you buy it?
  How much?
  What sort of software do you use?
  Are you satisfied with the results?

Re: sd card file system on android

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

It's a kernel future, and you will have to root the device to be able and
change the mount option for the sdcard (on /system partition).

 Hello All

 I am looking for phone models with android (maybe version number)  that
 support sd card formated with ext2 or ext3. Preferable ext2 since it's not
 journaled.

 I'd like to save big files (1-2gb each file) on the sd.

 Thanks

Re: sd card file system on android

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

It depends on the device,
But probably all will support FAT (not exFAT) as it's the default for the
external SDCARD.

Re: sd card file system on android

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

exFAT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT don't have the same limitation
like FAT,
And there some (custome) kernels out there which come with exFAT support.

 Thanks Efraim. I will appreciate it. I can wait a day or two.
 @Rabin, I'm not interested in fat due to the size limit.

 I've heard that some Samsung phones are running F2FS to increase
 performance/decrease NAND wear.  To me it seems likely that if they're
 enabling that then they wouldn't be squeamish about enabling ext2/3/4.

 I think the sd card I used in my htc one v was ext4 formatted, but I
 don't remember now.  I can check later, depending on how chag
 preperations go this evening.
