Re: NTP Question.

2000-10-25 Thread Shachar Shemesh

As far as I remeber, the recommended NTP setup is to have one machine sync with
several servers on the internet, and have all other machines on the local network
sync with that machine. This does have some redundancy problems (i.e. - little
redundancy), but as NTP learns the drift and adjusts accordingly, I don't think
that is a major issue.

 As you have already hinted, you can set some machine, be it Solaris or Linux
 to be an ntp server and then have the other machines as its ntp clients. I do
 not know how easy this setting is, especially setting the server. Yet there is
 a great deal of documentation for the ntp package.
 Assuming that each machine has an Internet connectivity, an easier solution
 might be to have all the machines as client for some accurate ntp server on
 the net.
 Any other solutions?

XFree4 uses the same config files (only better). Note that XFree 4.01
should already have a Hebrew symbols file (and a layout, IIRC). Try to
check it before submitting. 

Last time I asked they wouldn't accept it for XFree 3 (no XFree 3.3.7 is
expected, I guess).

 It's very dependent on how the CVS is setup. Using pserver? using rsh?
 local copy?

 The general theme is:

 "cvs checkout module_name" will grab from the server the module (=top
 level directory) you want.

 "cvs add filename; cvs commit" will upload a file.

 change a file and then "cvs commit" will update (replace) a file.

 For all these commands to work you need to have a CVSROOT enviorment
 variable defined and you need to be logged in (I assume you're using
 pserver setup)

 type: "export CVSROOT=":pserver:username@servername:/path/to/cvsroot" to
 define the CVSROOT and then "cvs login" and enter you're passwod when
 requested.

 Hope this helps,
 Gilad.

Hetz was wondering how come the apps won't understand Hebrew keysyms
without running in the proper LOCALE. I explain to him it's an Xlib
thing, and otherwise, Qt should support translating the keysyms
directly to their Unicode values, just like GTK+ 1.3 and Mozilla
(Composer makes a fine Unicode editor -- especially when Hebrew
merges in).

  Hi All,
 
  Well, as you may know or not know - KDE 2.0 final will be out tonight.
 
  Hebrew:
  * For viewing Logical and Visual pages - you'll need true type font's -
  elmar fonts look specially ugly (no offense Eli - I know that what you
  could release as free) so you'll need some fonts from your Windows
  partition and add them to your Linux (I'm not going to explain how to do
  it - as always - RTFM).

 (I presue that by TTF you mean unicode.)

 But in an erlier post you siad that the browser will be able to use
 iso-8859-8 (iso8 for short) fonts (as opposed to the other components.

The browser works with latin8 fonts. As a matter of fact, I think (haven't 
tested myself), that even the hebrew translations will work with 8859-8 fonts 
if you use Qt-2.2.1.

 Is there any unicode font included in XFree4, which includes Hebrew
 glyphs? Be it un ugly fixed font, It still much easier to read than
 gibrish.

There is the so called ucs font, which includes (rather ugly) hebrew glyphs. 
Another useable font is the cyberbit one. Just search for them on google. If 
you have an hebrew windows around, you can just use the fonts that come with 
hebrew windows. The arial, tahoma and courier fonts all look rather nice in 
hebrew.

 For example, mozilla's default config for X is to use the "fixed" font for
 the iso8 codepage, because one such font comes with XFree (I believe it
 comes from X11). So Heberw text in mozilla looks ugly until you change
 that (it was a bit difficult with M16, with happened to crash at that
 point :( ), but you could read Hebrew sites even with standard fonts.

Should (should because I never really tested it ;-) work with konqueror too.

  * If you want to use the hebrew menus - you'll need to replace the
  fonts.dir which redhat (if you use redhat) creates and create another one
  fonts.dir and fonts.alias with Tzafrir's script (Tzafrir? could u
  republish the URL please?

 I put it in:
 ftp://linux.org.il/pub/Hebrew/Install/ttmkfdir-heb

  I'm moving to KMail and I got a mess here). Don't forget to remove the
  directory from with the chkfontpath and adding it again - and restarting
  the xfs (stop and start - restart doesn't seem to work)

 For which distros is chkfontpath availble? I saw it included in the
 helix-gnome packages for no reason aparent to me. I know it originally
 comes with RH 6.x and above (and with Mandrake 6.x and above).
 Did XFree 4 adopt anything similar? If not, what's the standard way for
 adding a fonts dir to the fonts path?

 Does debian has any program to manipulate the font path for the X server?
 Does Caldera? SuSE?

'xset +fp path' ?

  * Pages like walla will look "" if you don't select from the encoding
  the ISO-8859-8-i or the CP1255 encoding. For visual pages - select the
  ISO-8859-8 (like Haaretz, IOL, Tapuz, Internet Zahav etc..)

 off topic
 Have a look at Haaretz and IOL's HTML pages.
 They mark their HTML pages as:
 meta charset="visual"
 Instead of using what defined in the HTML standard:
 meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-8"

Actually I added a workaround for that once. Hmmm... did a short test, and 
the charset="visual" still seems to work.

 (or have I got it worng)

 If you want to see a real ironic example of such problematic charset
 marking, have a look at:
 http://www.snunit.k12.il/heb_new.html#html
 /off topic

 Back to topic: Lars, Hetz: anyway I can configure konquerer to identify
 those marks as iso-8859-8 charset pages?

It should work already as said above. At least for iol it does. haaretz is 
down, so I can't test at the moment.

Lars


  * There are some glitches here and there - specially with numbers and
  "makaf" near them - they look in reverse. Known problem which will be
  fixed any day now. Also, Walla lower part of the main page is alligned to

  taken care of and hopefully will be fixed by the time KDE 2.0.1 will be

Try to see in their site if this is not a nkown and corrected problem

 Exit on Signal 11...

SIGSEGV - segmentation violation. It means that the installer program was
not written well enough...

For more information about errors emitted during the installatin process,
switch to consoles 3 and 4 (Ctrl-Alt-F3 and Ctrl-Alt-F4 . Ctrl-Alt-F2
gives you a shell. Ctrl-Alt-F1 is the first console and the text-based
installer. The graphical installer is in Ctrl-Alt-F5, IIRC).

Note that there will be some irrelevant error messages. don't panic...

 
 It sounds to me like a hardware problem...

A hardware problem at this stage sounds like either the CD or the HD.
At what package does it stop? Do you hear any strange noises from the 
HD/CD ? Can you read all the files from the CD?

Note that at that stange you already have a partially-installed system. it
also includes a full log of the installation on /tmp/install.log (IIRC.
The installer tells it).
If you have a rescue diskette, you can boot from it, mount the installed /
partition as, say, /mnt/new/ , and read /mnt/new/tmp/install.log to get
more spesific details.

Folks,

Some enhancements and bug-fixes later, and now plex86 boots Linux
normally...kick-ass!!!

I will commit changes to CVS soon after I clean up my current
code.

Plex86 can actually run guest code in 3 modes now:

  1) Normal mode.  This is SBE (scan-before-execute) controlled.
 Most code is run natively, some instructions are virtualized
 and thus emulated.

  2) Emulation mode.  This emulates code in a loop much like bochs,
 only everything happens in the monitor space as in 1).  This
 is good for testing the emulation code in plex86.  And for
 cosimulation with bochs.

  3) Breakpoint mode.  This is like 1), only the TF is set so that
 only one instruction will be run.  This is useful for testing 1)
 but with very fine-grained control of execution, and is very useful
 for cosimulation with bochs.

I believe all 3 modes can boot Linux.  The enclosed graphic is from 1).
The other modes seem to work, but I bailed early on execution because
I was impatient.  :^)

problem with getfh nfs

2000-10-25 Thread Schlomo Schapiro

Hi friends,

I get from time to time an error from my NFS server about getfh and nobody
can mount anything. 

The server is quite heavily used and I was wondering wether it could be
that the nfsd runs out of file handles ? Where in the kernel can I change
the amount of file handles a process can get ? (Btw, samba also always
complains about not enough file handles ...).

Also, what can I do to get rid of stale NFS handles ? I mean besides
rebooting the machine (which is not a Linux-style solution).


Sincerely,

Schlomo Schapiro
