Unable_to_run_qmail-remote and trouble in select problems (are they related?)
qmail complains occasionaly he'sUnable_to_run_qmail-remote./ in the logs, I'vefailed to find decent documentation on the web forsuch a failure, peeking at qmail's source reveals that it reports such an error is reported ifread(probablly-qmail-remote-pipe,...) returns zero and(status_of_qmail-remote-child 8) is 111 [I've noidea why the byte operation is needed]]. I couldn'tfind anything about common errors that causes this (qmail-log don't have anything about unable to run...)unable to run, any ideas? Attached a qmail mailmessage regarding the Unable_to_run_qmail-remote.This problem occurs when ezmlm sends mail to allmailing list members, some recieves that correctly and for some I recieve the error message email attached.It also reports warning: trouble in select, themanual reports in great details Bug in the OS, thesource says it reports that when sys/select returns a certain error value. Also I've googled a bit and foundno reports of this problem. I suspect both problemsare somehow related.I'm using the latest version of qmail (1.03).Any ideas? Things to check? ---qmail=log lines:@40004499bbac0277b4cc delivery 214488: failure:Unable_to_run_qmail-remote./@40004499bbac029e1504 warning: trouble in select---qmail-error-email:Hi!

[Possibly Slightly OT] #lisp-il on Freenode
Hi all! I apologise for the cross-posting, but the potential audience is scattered among these mailing lists. We have founded a channel for LISP and Scheme enthusiasts in Israel and Palestine. It's #lisp-il on Freenode. ( irc://irc.freenode.net/lisp-il ). We discuss LISP, Scheme and other languages or technologies, as well as just have general chat or discuss Israeli-specific topics. When I joined #lisp on Freenode, the people there believed I was the 3rd or 4th Israeli LISPer. I told them I knew of many other Lisp/Scheme-enthusiasts on Hackers-IL, etc. and so we decided to establish #lisp-il and invite everyone to join.

Re: Fwd: Dedicated hosting recommendation
Hi, Why? If you need root, there are cheaper options (like linode that Hetz uses, IIRC, and like the cheapo unixshell.com account from which I write this). Used :) After having the fun using it for few months, I wouldn't recommend it for production/serious usage, specially if you get tons of visitors, and you need to SSH to the machine, but the real processor is super-busy, so it takes you about 2 minutes until you get the password: prompt, and until the scheduler starts to do some balancing around. Linode is nice if you want to have your own Linux playground machine with few visitors here and there (I donno, like photo albums, small download here and there, etc), but for serious public server I would recommend to stay away from it.

Re: Linux on PDA in Israel
* Arieh Skliarouk [EMAIL PROTECTED] [060427 21:13]: Hello, Sometime ago I bought Linux based PDA - Zaurus SL-5500. Did you buy it in Isreal? I am interested in a zauris. Thanks, Aaron I have installed OpenZaurus 3.5.4 on it and using it for various tasks: * books reader (with cyrillic) * mp3 and ogg player * dictionary (english-russian) * some blessings holder (I read them through opera on locally installed apache+php). * addressbook I am still not sure whether I can use it as GPS navigator in Israel: several programs exists, but AFAIK none provides nor maps for Israel, nor ability to import them from some other program. Do you know of any way to use the PDA as GPS navigator? The OpenZaurus has package opie-multikey, that provides keymaps for on-screen keyboard to type international symbols and send unicode codes to applications. Unfortunately, the opie-multikey program lacks hebrew keymap file. I have no idea of the keymap file format, and thus attached russian and arabic keymaps file in hope for someone to recognize the format. Is there somewhere an ready to use opie-multikey format for hebrew? Upon completion of previous task, the next task I would like to use the PDA for is Hebrew-English dictionary. The OpenZaurus has opie-odict and zbedic as dictionary engines, but no hebrew dictonaries. Do you know of any public domain hebrew-english dictionaries? I have found several popular blessings on internet in unicode format of various quality. Most of them lack nikud, many are for Sfaradim and all of them are not interactive. I wrote ugly hack on php that consultes with hebcal [taken from debian ARM distribution] on RoshHodesh and inserts Yaale veYavo into Birkat haMazon, but that is. Are there any public domain blessings in open (read: plain unicode) format? The following is not so Israel related, but still... My wife sometimes steals the PDA for books reading, so I am looking for new one. And I want it to be SmartPhone, e.g. to include phone capabilities. The closests I have found is (still vaporware) http://www.road-gmbh.de/en/produkte/index_01.html. Do you have other recomendations for Linux enabled, tamperable (e.g. no Motorola please), smart phone? -- Arieh = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cups locale wierdness
Hi, As you probably know, the CUPS daemon handles print jobs by running a chain of filters in separate processes, piping data between them. The weird thing I noticed on my system (debian unstable, cups 1.2.1, locales 2.3.6) is the behaviour of the filter process' locale settings. After some experimenting (I replaced my printer driver binary with my own script that prints environment settings into a file) I got to the following conclusion: The process' locale depends only the locale settings of the user submitting the job (regardless of the 'DefaultLanguage' settings in cupsd.conf): * If the user that sent the job uses system defaults (i.e. has no LANG defined, so the locale becomes POSIX), the process gets LANG=en_US. * If the user had any value at all in LANG (legal or illegal locale), the friver process gets LANG=en (which was not a legal setting on my system). (the filter runs as user lp, which has no home directory, thus no special login scripts or locale settings). I could not find any reference to explain this, nor any reference to locale in my cups config files and man pages. The problem: I could not print as a normal user, only from root. I found out that this is caused because the printer driver (a filter started by cups to to convert raster to printer input) dies whenever it has an illegal locale setting. I fixed this by adding en en_US.ISO-8859-1 to locale.aliases and reconfiguring locales. My question: How do you control which locale CUPS assigns to it's filter processes? (I want to set it to something other than en, so I can get rid of this alias). p.s. - there's some more gory details which I avoided to make this post shorter. These come about because I'm actually running a 32bit binary driver using dchroot from a 64bit cupsd (but it should have no effect, because I also ran my debugging script on the 64bit side).

Releasing a NSLU2 from customs
I'm hoping someone here can help me with this one: After reading about it in various places, I bought a Linksys NSLU2 on ebay. It is a device with one network port and 2 USB ports intended for sharing a USB disk drive on a network, but it also runs linux and it is possible to install various other features (there are a number of community based efforts, e.g. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/) Anyhow, I received a notice in the mail today that I need to free the item from customs (meces), and to do this, I need to get approval from the ministry of communications because it is considered communications equipment (they gave me some form for this). Do I really need approval for this? Has anyone had one approved in the past and is able to save me the effort?

Not me, but I will tell you this. If the device was doing wireless communication, or connecting to a telephone line, I would say forget it. Your chances of clearing a device doing either are rather slim. Since it appears your device does neither, clearing it is probably no more than proving the above point to them.

Re: Releasing a NSLU2 from customs
Hi Jason, I have seen the NSLU2 here in Israel before, but I do not remember exactly who sold it. I'm sure that the hardware that I've seen was purchased here in Israel and not directly imported from US. Anyway, search for it (ZAP, etc...), and when you find it, see if you can get the details of the importer or simply print the offer from the Israeli web site and send it to the customs. It worked for me once, but it was a long time ago.
