partially OT: linux vcr

2003-09-02 Thread Erez Doron
hey

I'm looking into building a linux vcr
(i will probably use it also as a server/router/desktop).
the software right now is not the issue, the hardware is.
the hardware should be:
1. small pc, size of a Set-Top-Box ( = 'memir' )
2. very quiet. so i can sleep with it working in the same room.
3. input tuner
4. video out
5. remote control
(not too expensive, available in tel-aviv area)
important: all must be supported by linux.
the problem is that the PCs i found were not small enough, not quiet 
enough, and if they were small, than i had no place of connecting video 
in, out, 2 ETH (router function) etc.

1. is video-in via usb good qulity enough ?
2. is video-in via usb2 supported good enough by linux ?
3. any good dvd creation programs. (the problem is not the burner 
program, but the dvd files structure, mpeg2 encoding, menu editing etc. 
prefered - command line programs)
4. is usb remote control hardware supported by linux

any insights will be appriciated

cheers,
erez.

 One other question is, how can I find white space (non-printable) characters

 pdftotext.  I don't what characters are in this file, but when I try to
 import it into an application, the data gets mangled.  The file opens fine in
 any of the spreadsheets.  I want to see the characters in the file (not \n or
 SPACE etc).

Whitespace and non-printable characters aren't the same thing, obviously.
I'm assuming that you want to see non-printable characters (control characters
and non-ASCII characters).

One thing you can use is cat -v, as in

cat -vE file | less

This will show you control characters as ^A, non-ascii characters as M-A,
and line ends as $ (this is useful for seeing spaces in the end of the line).

'less file' might also be enough, depending on what you need.
If you want to see the character codes of all the characters in your file,
you can also use od -c file.

Linux.Conf.Au 2004 opens registrations!

Registrations for Linux.Conf.Au, Australia's national Linux and
open-source conference, to be held in Adelaide, Australia on January
12-17, 2004, open today.

Now is the time for YOUR fun to begin.  Right now, head off to
http://lca2004.linux.org.au/register/ where you can sign up and pay for
your attendance at next year's LCA.

But it's not just conference registration that you can stitch up - you
can organise dormatory accommodation on-line, arrange for your partner
to go to our Partner's Programme, sign up for miniconfs, and now for our
next extra special, secret surprise - you can sit LPI exams as well!

The Linux Professional Institute http://lpi.org is one of the leading
Linux certifications on offer, and on the 2 days preceding the
conference (overlapping the miniconfs), you can sit up to four of the
LPI exams at a greatly reduced cost!  Another bargaining chip to use
when explaining to your boss why they should pay for you to come to
LCA2004.

But don't leave it too long!  When we opened registrations at midnight
on September 1, people started registering straight away.  Honest!  That
was before we announced anything publicly.  We were surprised too! :-)

Register early to secure your spot - by doing so you help us put on an
even better conference!  If you want to see our more formal
announcement, please check out our Media Centre at
http://lca2004.linux.org.au/mediacentre for our press releases.

Stay tuned for more announcements soon,

Your friendly Linux.Conf.Au 2004 Organising Team...

A laptop is a viable solution for running extended periods of time (several 
days or maybe more) - they have heat dissipation problems and can become very 
hot and as a result have unpredictable behavior after only a few hours (and 
as a result can also damage your furniture ;-)

new installation

2003-09-02 Thread Gabor Szabo

I have received my new Compaq Presario 2540EA and while Windows
works on it nicely I decided I prefer to install some kind of a
Linux distro.

I found a set of Red Hat 9.0 CDs on my desk so I started to use them.

boing: it got stuck quite at the beginning when it was trying to load
the driver for 1390 (I have a built in firewire in this notebook).

OK, maybe I was aiming too high. Let's try Red Hat 8.0. Luckily I have
a copy of that too.

The same happened there.

Good, so you want to wrestle with me, eh ?
I won't give in.

I picked up the SuSE 8.0 CD that I am using on my older notebook.

So far the installation works. I have no idea yet if it can see
my hardware correctly or not. Hmmm, bad signs,
it started to ask these intimate questions about my monitor
suggesting it is a Samsung/unknown model.
Who the hell knows what this monitor is ?

Anyway I am quite sure I'll try to install Debian on this machine so
while I'd be happy to get a clue on how could I convince the machine
to install RH 9.0 I also would like to know if it is safe to use the
network installation of Debian ?

How secure is my computer during installation before I can harden it
manually ?

I attended Shachars presentation in August where AFAIR he suggested
to pick up a Debian derivative distro. Install that and then
get-apt to unstable. Is this what you recommended ?

Any other recommendations ?

Hi,

The linux on laptops site has useful information and tutorials:

For your particular laptop (or something very close to it), they have a
tutorial for installing redhat linux 9.0:

It deals with your problem of the firewire port.

The sony vaios also come with a firewire-based CD ROM. I was unable to find a 
distribution that is able to detect it during installation (though it is 
bootable).

But since you wrote:

 Anyway I am quite sure I'll try to install Debian on this machine

I'm willing to share with you what I did: I used the Debian installation 
diskettes to perform a network installation; that worked like a charm. AFAIK 
that's what all other vaio users do, so maybe it's the right solution for 
you...

Of course, diskette + network installation will work for all distributions, 
not just Debian - but don't tell anyone :-)

 I also would like to know if it is safe to use the
 network installation of Debian ?

Sure. During the network installation you are not running any services, so 
there are no entry points to your machine. If you're especially worried, 
install it behind a NAT gateway and no-one will be able to reach you from the 
Internet.
(For the purists sake I'll mention that there is the possibility the Debian 
mirror will get hacked and some plants a special Gabor Trojan that will be 
installed there just to hack your machine. I doubt that's a realistic 
scenario, though)


 How secure is my computer during installation before I can harden it

Secure enough.

I wasn't in Shachar's presentation, but in one of Shachar's installations I 
attended (it was on one of my machines), he installed Debian stable and then 
distupgraded to unstable. That's what I've been doing since.

#ifdef vs. #if defined(...)

2003-09-02 Thread Voguemaster
Hi list,

I'm writing a portable set of classes for a network application
(the classes will be reused) for Win32 and Linux. I don't wish to
use external libraries since those are simple primitives.
I'm generally using some #ifdef statements (although I've minimized their
use using a header file for a class and 2 source files (one per platform).
Now, as it seems, #ifdef doesn't support something like this:

#if defined(..)
..
#elif defined(..)
..
#endif
I only recently discovered the GNU preprocessor actually supports those
(hehe, dumb, i know..) but I was wondering if anyone knows the earliest
version of Linux in which this set of directives is supported on.
(I would like to be able to compile this thing on RH6.2, for example).
My biggest concern is portability. I'd like to make sure the code compiles
nicely on any system this thing is going to be compiled on :)
Thanks to anyone who might know.

Eli

PS.

A related question I once posted was how to detect the platform on which
a program is compiled on. Seems there are plenty of macros defined in
various platforms. Encountered a few good ones in Doxygen's headers :).

The only reason it can fail to compile is that some old *traditional*
C compilers may not support #elif.  This is ISO C, and if you find a
modern preprocessor that does not support it, it should be taken out
and shot. ;-)

I cannot check that is compiles on RH6, but it should, with a
compliant compiler. 

The following code

#if defined(FOO)
static int x = 1;
#elif defined(BAR)
static int x = 2;
#else
static int x;
#endif

int main(void) { return x; }


compiles cleanly with 

gcc -O2 -pedantic -ansi -W -Wall 

and runs correctly in all cases on RH7.3, with gcc 2.96-113 and gcc
3.2.3. No problems with the corresponding versions of g++, either.

Re: #ifdef vs. #if defined(...)

 Hi list,

 I'm writing a portable set of classes for a network application
 (the classes will be reused) for Win32 and Linux. I don't wish to
 use external libraries since those are simple primitives.

 I'm generally using some #ifdef statements (although I've minimized their
 use using a header file for a class and 2 source files (one per platform).

 Now, as it seems, #ifdef doesn't support something like this:

 #if defined(..)
 ..
 #elif defined(..)
 ..
 #endif


Actually you can write:

#ifdef ..
.
#elif defined(..)
.
#endif

As #ifdef is exactly equivalent to #if defined(..).

 I only recently discovered theGNU preprocessor actually supports those
 (hehe, dumb, i know..) but I was wondering if anyone knows the earliest
 version of Linux in which this set of directives is supported on.
 (I would like to be able to compile this thing on RH6.2, for example).

 My biggest concern is portability. I'd like to make sure the code compiles
 nicely on any system this thing is going to be compiled on :)

 Thanks to anyone who might know.

 PS.

 A related question I once posted was how to detect the platform on which
 a program is compiled on. Seems there are plenty of macros defined in
 various platforms. Encountered a few good ones in Doxygen's headers :).

There's no point in keeping an idea to yourself since there's a 10 to 1
chance that somebody already has it and will share it before you.
