culmus dictionary

Aparantly it takes a mathematitian to make a dictionary as well :-) http://culmus.sourceforge.net/dictionary/ I tried to rebuild his scripts and ran into some problems. Aparantly #!/usr/bin/perl -C63 gives an error about 'Too late for -C63 option' I just removed them for the time being. I

Hi, In the Linux Video Contest: http://video.linuxfoundation.org/contest/winners A Israeli guy one first place. Kodos to Amitay Wow, that really was a great video. The other two were horrible. The first one makes Linux look like a disease, and the second make Linux look like a lame joke.

Web sites that don't adhere to the W3C standards

Every now and then we complain about one of the Israeli web sites that don't work in Firefox. AFAIK the usual response is that they should build their site based on the W3C standards. I thought it must be something good that large International web aware companies must already do so I checked

Perl hack - fooling isatty() ?

Hi, I need to call e2fsck from a Perl script. Thing is, e2fsck checks if it's being run interactively or not (using isatty(0) isatty(1)), and exits if not. I know that calling e2fsck with -p/-n/-y would fix this, but this is not an option for me (don't ask). So, is there some Perl magic that

IrDA dongle ceased to work when I upgraded to Debian Lenny

Using lsusb, the dongle in question identifies itself as: ID 050f:0180 KC Technology, Inc. KC-180 IrDA Dongle When I used Debian Etch, the device /dev/irda0 was automatically created and all worked out of the box. After upgrade to Debian Lenny, the udev-created device changed, due to some

Re: IrDA dongle ceased to work when I upgraded to Debian Lenny

Hi Omer, This could be from the hotplug script not knowing what to do with your dongle. My suggestion would be: 1. see whats your system writes to /var/log/messages 2. rmmod the module and modprobe it while the device is connected. By doing modprobe, it should do all the stuff needed (create

Re: IrDA dongle ceased to work when I upgraded to Debian Lenny

I tried dpkg-reconfigure irda-utils Choosing serial device, it offers the default 'irda0' as serial device file for IrDA. For dongle type I tried both 'none', 'actisys', 'actisys+' (I read somewhere that my dongle is 'actisys'). The command produces the following output: = # dpkg-reconfigure

Re: IrDA dongle ceased to work when I upgraded to Debian Lenny

I don't see in your /var/log/messages anything from inserting your dongle. I don't see any specific module that loads the dongle. irda module is *NOT* covering the USB dongles, for that there is ir-usb module, and I don't see anything on your messages that shows this loads at all.. I suggest you

[SUCCESS] Re: IrDA dongle ceased to work when I upgraded to Debian Lenny

Thanks, Hetz, for the pointer. From reading it, I found that I should check for the ir_usb module, and indeed it was loaded. I did 'rmmod ir_usb' and then '/etc/init.d/irda-utils restart' and then voila 'ircp -r' worked and I could at last transfer files from my cellphone to the PC! My
