Re: mozilla and XML
JT Dear all, JT I was highly pleased when I found that mozilla (0.9.5) formats my XML JT files nicely according to a CSS2 style sheet (well, not all, but most JT features seems to be implemented). Imagine my surprise when I put a JT file online and mozilla asked if I wanted to download the file or if I JT wanted to use an application ... JT Is it possible to let mozilla handle xml files like html files? In the JT settings there seems to be no way. JT BTW, Internet Explorer (on Win2k) does this by default, but has lesser JT features implemented. It looks like your web server doesn't issue correct Content-Type (IIRC text/xml) header for your XML files. Why IE works? IE tries to guess content type from url in some cases. For example if IE sees .html at the end of url it will always assume that it is HTML. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Re: perl question
Here's one for some of the perl guys
I want to delete a directory that will have files in it...
I don't know the name of the files there for wildcards might
be needed
I understand that rmdir will wipe out an empty directory
and unlink will wipe out files (only if I know the names of the files)
What would be a nice command to remove a dirtory that had files in it?
Even better what would be a nice command to delete all files
in one directory... (leaving the directory intact)
wt sub emptydir {
wt my $dir = shift;
wt [..skip..]
wt }
wt but this code is untested and is likely to cause brain damage
wt and multiple scleroses.
Do not reinvent wheel :). Use standart Perl modules.
use File::Path;
rmtree([$dir]);
See File::Path docs for more info.

I am asking this because A in 8 bit color my monitor can produce 800x600 and 100Hz but A in 16 bit color with the same resolution it can produce only A some 86Hz. Yes.

Re: Firing on all CPUs
DS I've got a dual-CPU system that I'm starting to think only runs off one DS processor. The kernel has SMP support built in and /proc/cpuinfo shows DS two processors, but top only shows a single set of CPU utilization (although DS it could just be that the stock debian top isn't SMP aware, I suppose) and DS the system slows down terribly when the load average approaches 1.0 rather DS than at 2.0 (although I think this box probably sees high load because it's DS disk-bound rather than CPU-bound). DS Is there anything else I need to do to activate SMP? And how do I get top DS to display stats for each CPU instead of either ignoring the second or DS presenting aggregate stats? If /proc/cpuinfo shows two CPUS then both of them are working. Some old versions of top supports only one CPU - you need updated top if you want it to see correct CPU info in it. Also some old versions of ps also was broken on SMP boxes. I don't rememeber what exactly was broken. I just remember that old ps shows some stats wrongly on SMP. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

AP Linux kernel has a feature that enables a machine capable of turning AP the power off on it's own to do so with shutdown -h.. or poweroff AP commands.

I used to compile my own kernels but recently AP I switched to a pre-packaged 2.4.3 (woody package, back-ported to AP potato). Automatic power off on shutdown stopped working.

Re: ReiserFS + 2.4.4

Having a transaction log OD replayed on a read-only filesystem would mean that the transactions are OD not written.

Re: Gnus as email client (was: GUI Email program)
JS I would like to know what is it that you like so much about JS Emacs+Gnus? I am not trying to be sarcastic or something like that. JS I have tried to configure gnus a few times for using with email and JS found it a frustration to get working. In which ways would gnus be JS better than mutt and pine for example? Maybe I never saw it working JS properly. JS I like emacs and use it regularly, but could never understand why the JS gnus users are so enthusiastic about using gnus for mail. I'm happy Emacs+Gnus user. I've used pine before. One reason why I've changed my mail reader was: 1) I want one client for both mail and news. 2) I use Emacs for almost everything. Gnus is convenient for me because I got used to Emacs keybindings. Gnus is convenient for me because it is integrated in Emacs. Many people seems to dislike Gnus a lot because it forces them to read their mails in quite specific way. This is because in first place Gnus is newsreader. First time after my transition I also found it quite confusing but now I got used to it. Some other pros I've found later against pine: 1) Gnus have support for threading (I know recent version of pine also have support for this but last version I've used did not have it) 2) With help of supercite it can make very complex quoting 3) With help of mailcrypt it has *integrated* support for PGP 4) I like adaptive scoring which I use to filter Debian and FreeBSD maillists. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Re: lilo
MM If you must have windoze as well, it's very simple to make linux boot MM through the NTLOADER. It's actually pretty cool, you just have to dd the MM first 512bytes from your boot partition (so long as lilo is loaded onto the MM first sector) to a file (call it bootsect.lnx), then copy that file to your MM c:\ under windoze (use a floppy disk or whatever), and add the line in your MM c:\boot.ini C:\bootsect.lnx=Linux. Those are the rough instructions, but MM if you want the exact commands and whatnot just email me and I can send MM them. Actually it all described in Linux+NT-Loader HOWTO. If you have installed HOWTOs then it should in /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.txt.gz file.

If you can't find anything there try to download 2.2.18 or 2.2.19 kernel and compile agpgart with it. If you are using 2.4.xx kernel agpgart module also should be in it. P.S.

Re: Moving from openssh to ssh2
SMK I want to run ssh2 because I really like the convenience and SMK security of using both the ssh2 server and ssh2 client software. SMK I am very comfortable using public keys for authentication and SMK want to allow only logins with that public keys. (I already know SMK how to configure the ssh2_config and sshd2_config to allow that.) SMK The box I am installing ssh2 on is run as a game server and web SMK server at a local ISP. This is mostly for hobby and learning SMK about Linux. The server is running Debian, obviously, (it must be SMK late). I am running Win2k at home. Do you know that latest version of openssh support ssh2 protocol? You can upgrade to latest version of openssh instead. SMK I am a relative Linux Newbie, and there are some things I am still having SMK trouble understanding. I have spent the entire evening looking for an SMK answer to my question. SMK I have already downloaded and installed ssh2 on my server. I SMK have installed and configured ssh2 client on my home machine. In SMK the past I have had other people install this software for me but SMK I want to be able to do it myself. I just installed a clean SMK Potato Debian on the machine. This was done to clean off a SMK year's bunch of junk that other people put on the box--these SMK people no longer have access to the server. SMK OK now that the introduction is over, here are my questions: SMK The server is running ssh1. How do I remotely First create proper init strings in init.d: just copy /etc/init.d/ssh to /etc/init.d/ssh2 (you should do it before removing old ssh of course) and edit to change filenames (name of sshd binary and name of file with PID). Now run 'update-rc.d ssh2 defaults' SMK 1. start sshd2 (it will say port 22 is in use) First start it on another port to test your installation. In its config file (sshd_config) put config param Port which allows to specify non default port for sshd. See 'man sshd' for details. You ssh client should be able to connect to non-standart ssh port. Once config file edited run '/etc/init.d/ssh2 start'. SMK 2. kill and delete ssh1 '/etc/init.d/ssh stop'. If you need to remove ssh 'apt-get remove sshd' SMK 3. create the proper init strings in init.d (if this is where SMK that belongs) to link calls for sshd ---sshd2 SMK 4. create the proper init string to run sshd2 on server startup SMK or reboot. See above. SMK 5. Reboot the machine and NOT have to call the ISP tech support SMK to fix what I just did! '/sbin/reboot' but you don't need it actually. At this moment you should have new sshd running on non-standart port and no old ssh. Change Port param to point to standart port back and restart new ssh: '/etc/init.d/ssh2 restart' Final hint: even if you stop and delete ssh your already opened session will not be closed. So DO NOT close you ssh session unless you are sure that everything is working. If you didn't closed your session you will still be able to fix things. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

PM I am very new to Linux (my Debian box is one week old) and I'm PM having trouble getting X to work with my i810 graphics card. I PM haved surfed the web, which offers a lot of advice on getting the PM card running under XF86 3.3.5 (with the install of the agpgart.o PM kernel module) to form the following questions: PM I am aware that the XF86 3.3.6 SVGA server offers some kind of PM i810 support. Does it need the agpgart.o module installed to do PM so? I've never used i810 with XF86 3.3.6 but at least XF86 4.xx requires agpgart module. PM Does Debian 2.2 (Potato) come with this module installed, or PM present (but not installed) or neither? PM If I need to download and install the module, what is the cleanest PM way to do this under Debian? Will I need to alter any other PM settings? Propably you should compile yourself your own kernel from sources. If you want to make it in Debian way install 'kernel-package' package and read its docs. At least 2.2.18 includes agpgart module.

Re: Got it working!!! More questions!
SG Also, what's the best options for reading email under X and SG browsing. I was figuring on trying kmail and konqueror at first. I SG hear bad remarks about Netscape and Mozilla all the time. What else is SG there? About browser. My opinion: 1) Netscape - old, don't support some modern standarts, slow rendering, bad locale support (if you care about Russian web pages for example :) ) but quite stable. 2) Mozilla - faster rendering, conforms to many modern standarts (however breaks sometimes JavaScript code on web pages), consumes more RAM and CPU then netscape (but if you have decent machine you will not care), best locale support, a bit less stable then netscape. 3) Konqeror - very, very, very fast!, conforms to many modern standartds (however breaks sometimes JavaScript code on web pages), good locale support (but worse then in mozilla), a bit less stable then mozilla and netscape. You better try them all. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Re: How to save a image to GIF by GIMP?
JL I'm not aware of graphics and it's specific pro's and con's, since adobe JL support .jpb for webgraphics i thought i didn't matter that much JL PNG tends to be rather 'heavy' for a website to use, No ? Generally JPEG good for gradient images. For example photos. This is becaouse of JPEG's image compression algorithms. GIF is better suited for images which have small details, sharp edges between areas. This is why it usually better to use GIF instead JPEG for web graphics. Web graphics usally doesn't contain gradient and contains a lot of small details, letter, etc. PNG is quite simular to GIF so it also good for web graphics. This format contains number of improvements like support for 24 color and some others I don't remeber now. Also it is free while GIF is not. So PNG is good for web graphics too. The only problem with PNG I know is that Netscape 4.xx doesn't support transparent PNG's. Also I'm not sure if PNG supports animation. JL It's possible the non-free package will get you what you need.

Re: debian: size of stable, testing and unstable files
I want to mirror only i386 and only binaries. I've now next rules. Are they right? --exclude source/ --exclude pool/ CW pool/ contains binaries for i386 among other things, at least for CW testing/unstable now and I imagine stable in the future, so you'll have CW to be more careful than that. --include *_i386.deb? Thanks. I've suspected that. But I thought that only unstable has its files in pool. I don't mind skiping unstable. --exclude *-ia64/ --exclude *-s390/ --exclude *-sh/ --exclude *-alpha/ --exclude *-m68k/ --exclude *-sparc/ --exclude *-hppa/ --exclude *-mips/ --exclude *-hurd-i386/ --exclude *-mipsel/ --exclude *-powerpc/ --exclude *-arm/ CW Seems like explicitly including rather than explicitly excluding would CW be more robust ...

Re: pyton perl
MC Hi, MC I know this is a stupid question, but I am very new to Linux and I know MC nothing about script programming. What is the difference between perl and MC pyton? Why the nedd to create these two diferent programming languages? Perl is more ancient language then Python. It was created to replace awk, sed and shell scripting. Since that time it had changed a lot and it is very flexible and powerful language now. You can write both simple several lines scripts and complex programs consisting of many modules. For instance sources for some mail software we have wrote in my company has about of 6Mb of sources. AFAIK Python was created later. Python also quite powerful language. People who created this language wasn't satisfied with Perl and/or other languages. I don't know Python too much so it is hard for me to say why. But one difference I know is differences in ideologies. Perl is ideology is that there is exists many ways to make same thing. Often in Perl you can implement same thing in different ways. Python on other side is more restrictive by its ideology. You often are forced to use some 'right' way. Some people thinks that it is good, some that is bad. Thouse who think it is good usually prefer Python, others Perl. P.S. If you are person that love a lot object oriented programming probably you should look at another scripting language 'Ruby'. It is becoming popular now. Its advantage (someone can think that it is disadvantage) that language oriented towards object oriented style programming much more than Perl and Python. P.P.S. And nether trust someone who just says that one of this languages sucks. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Re: pyton perl
D | You can write obfuscated programs with any language, even with python. D | The programmer should use the language (any language, not just perl or D | python) resources judiciously to improve readability and D | maintainability. D This is true, though I've found obfuscated python to be rather D difficult to create due to it's indentation rules (whitespace is D significant). However, someone on c.l.py used parenthesis to work D around the rules and made a cute program that printed a christmas D tree, but only after christmas, not before. Check the mailing list's D archives if you want to see it. Obfuscated programs doesn't means only bad identation. Bad programmers always can use stupid names for variables, methods, classes, etc. They can have non-trivial program flow and so on. It all applies to Python too. D | Perl allows one to write both procedural and OO programs. Perl OO model D | is very simple, flexible and powerful. D I've heard that perl added an object model recently, and I've also D heard that it isn't very good. Both are hearsay as I have no D experience with perl's object model. I think someone once said that D perl tried to follow python's object model as an example, but again D that is not a hard fact. Perl OO model is good enough to be able write *very* big programs using OO methodology. And anyways Python is far from ideal if you want clean consistent object oriented scripting langauge. If you need it your choice should be Ruby. Personally I think that Perl and Python are equal in some way. Both languages does not have strong advantages againts each other. I don't belive that any project that written in Perl can be made faster and better in Python and vice versa. There is just exist some differences in concepts that make some people fill more confortable with one of them. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
