ubuntu JE ? slightly off topic
A co-worker just informed me that there is now a ubuntu ce (christian edition) and while I haven't had the time to take a look, I thought it might be nice to have a je.

subversion ouch
Hi all, for various reasons I have been using subversion at work. This has worked fine for me when I was the only one using the repository. I started a project where I am working with a coworker who has agreed to use subversion. Now I see things are not working correctly. I of course set up subversion locally, duh and now I gather there is no way to add users. I put the repository on the companies remote server, to get this working must I have a server installed there? If not can I continue as I have been and somehow fix something. Right now the problems I see are that while each of us can update and commit we don't see each others work. What must I do to get this working?

was no subject now is autoreconnect
HI again, On second thought I didn't catch that the previous script is run at time periods. What I was looking for was it to be event driven not time driven. the connection dies, the system reconnects. So I gather to do this I would need a daemon running which checks for a live connection and then if the connection dies its notification would trigger the connect script to run? I found pppstatus but I am not sure it will be of help. Is this possible?

(no subject)
Hi all,
I am looking for an elegant solution to my internet connecivity.
I use actcom and connect with a script.
What I want is some fine tuning. I would like the script to run.
When my computer reboots (which isn't often, its Linux after all) When my
connection dies (this is the most important since I often access my home
computer from work)
I was given a script to use with cron, but I never found that it worked for me,
but I could be something I am doing wrong.
I would prefer a more elegent approach which checks to see if I am connected,
the way I do manually ie ifconfig and pinging a known address. If the connection
is down then run the connect script.
Any ideas would be most helpful. I will paste the various scripts I have at the
end of this email.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi all, I successfully installed colinux on winxp but probably with all the fiddling I did I messed something up. When I try starting x, I get and error that it cannot stat /etc/X11/X (no such file or directory) I googled and found that X is a symlink to the xserver, but the link they suggested is for xfree86 not xorg, which is what I am running.

hmn, thanks I just changed my XF86Config and nothing happened. I still have no hebrew. Also in the openoffice printsetup I no longer see a place to add fonts? How do I determine why I don't have hebrew? I installed all the proper fonts and applications. still no hebrew? Any ideas how to trace where the problem is?

Re: hebrc
Thanks for the quick reply, That is what I did but I got no hebrew so I just now did dpkg-reconfigure locales and I will see if that helps. In fact hebrew wasn't checked...

I gather I must download a keyboardmap and then copy it somewhere? Then I need to update my XF86Config file with something? Find the InputDevice section of your XF86Config, it should have a line at least similar to Driver keyboard Which means its related to the keyboard. in there you should either put or modify the line to have something like Option XkbLayout us,il Option XkbOptionsgrp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll The layout defines the keyboard layout (the il is the hebrew layout that comes with X). the grp:... options define the key sequence to switch the language and grp_led:scroll makes the scroll lock light up to show that you are in hebrew mode. pressing both shift keys switches the language. This is for X 4.3, use just il instead of us,il for X 4.2. Then?

crossover to hebrew
Hi all, I just convinced a friend who has been experiencing windows problems to switch to linux. He did this on the condition that he could run his Ms Word Excel etc. (He has a list of windows programs that he must have on his sytem because of his work) I told him about cxoffice and he seemed happy. I got a call that he opened an execel file and it was corrupted. After asking I realized it wasn't corrupted but just a hebrew excel file. I need a transparent way to get this working for him. 1. to set up his debian box with hebrew 2. to get cxoffice to work with hebrew. ideally I would like a .deb that would do the trick but I would settle for a shell script. In my mind what http://www.ivrix.org.il/redhat/ has plus a hebrc.deb. The shell script would just check sources.list that it contains whatever are the correct sources to give me the files I need, then an apt-get install for all the packages, and apt-get hebrc and apt-get setup crossover office with hebrew. 1. Is this doable? 2. how do I translate hebrc from the above site to debian. (system stuff is in different places in debian so I can't just use alien to convert it.) 3. Where is there a clear explaination of how I get cxoffice to work with hebrew 4. Does hebrc in its present form address the debian font keyboard etc. issues? 5. Is there anything I am missing?

Re: crossover to hebrew
I'm having similar problems with the cx excel; all other office documents work fine, but Hebrew Excels are problematic (what I'm experiencing is excel displaying Hebrew ok, but as soon as some change is made or even if I click on the spreadsheet, all the Hebrew characters become unreadable). However, for me the solution was to use openoffice to didplay excel files. While the Writer (word equivalent) still has some problems with regards to converting to/from word files, calc (the excel equivalent) works flawlessly since version 1.1.1. For me I never use windows programs but he is a atzmahi technical writer who must have all of office working. In the meantime he is dual booting. I do remember a thread about hebrew issues in cxoffice and still am wondering if this is the problem.

hebrewrec
HI and thanks for the information on cxoffice. I probably won't confuse him with wine yet, but at least he can dual boot until the new cxoffice comes out. Next can someone help me translate the hebrc rpm into debian? I need a way of creating a deb that will do the same thing although I have no idea where the various pieces are found within debian. Or am I off base and there is a way to change all needed files by dkpg?

HI Micha, and all, I have no windows, this is a new problem which happen after I totally distroyed everything and reinstalled Xandros again. They have an option to save your personal settings.
