[SLUG] Ubuntu Menu Editor
Hi, I've just apt-get installed Gambas. 'Programming' doesn't appear in 'Applications' although it is a ticked item in Menu Editor and so is Gambas as a sub item. Q. How do I get them both to appear in 'Applications', please? (Is this a permissions issue?)

With a debian-like system you are more likely to have something like /etc/rcS.d/set up scripts. Which looks like what you've got. So I think I might be confusing you more with regional linux differences. I really don't know about using the ltsp rc.sysinit you mentioned; that's a thin-client software or something - it's not part of your system proper. In general it sounds like there are some fundamentals going wrong with your system (not least file permissions, mounts and partitions) which is good in one sense, because the fix might not be too hard and might get everything working properly all of a sudden. Sorry, I can't untangle it - too many things to track.

[SLUG] Virtual Host
Hi any ideas or comments welcome: Once upon a time I setup a host with two virtual hosts their product: http://www.edc.com.au their admin: http://stm.com.au The land was at peace ... Then ... they installed a router and the server box became relegated to a 192.168... and the router forwarded requests to TheBox which lost the ability to see the www part of a request and showed only 1 page. Is there a solution? that will allow two pages via the router. I see lots of options but am devoid of inspiration.

This is a case of recursion.
What's totally crazy is that once you've been programming a while, and
really understand this recursion stuff well, you have to then learn to
stop using it. It's very sad, because recursion is good stuff, but
the trouble is that, in C, arbitrarily large recursions make your
stack the size of Godzilla.
I realise I'm a bit behind the times with continuing this thread, but
I'm surprised no-one mentioned that modern compilers are quite capable
of turning tail-recursion into in-place iteration.
As a silly example, just to make it obvious:
int recurse_forever(int n) {
if (++n % 1 == 0) printf(n is %d\n, n);
return recurse_forever(n); /* n will wrap occasionally */
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
recurse_forever(0);
return 0;
}
Compile and run it without optimisation and it grows in memory and
segfaults. Compile it with -O and it will happily run forever without
growing in memory. Compare the assembly output from each and the
change is obvious - the recursive call is changed to a jmp since none
of the original state is actually needed after the recursed call
returns.
Scheme interpreters/compilers, as another example, *require* this
ability since tail-recursion is the only method of doing loops in
scheme.
