Dockimbel 8-May-2009 [2901] | <fixed> |
Janko 8-May-2009 [2902] | I just wanted to say that I isntalled cheyenne from source now and wanted to fix that code in unix.r .. and ran it via rebol cheyenne.r and it already worked without fixing any code :) |
Dockimbel 8-May-2009 [2903] | cool :-) |
Janko 8-May-2009 [2904x2] | Thanks Doctor :) |
So I just need to move to the latest cheyenne ... now I have the reason to do so :) | |
Dockimbel 8-May-2009 [2906] | Let me know in !Cheyenne group if you have any issue with the latest release. |
Janko 8-May-2009 [2907] | (ok) |
ManuM 8-May-2009 [2908] | Browse on Linux temporary solution browse: funct [ url ] [ call reform [ "x-www-browser" url ]] And browse works, and all commnads based on browse ( docs, bug, changes ) too |
Henrik 8-May-2009 [2909] | ManuM, can you do something similar for a file manager window? That would solve a bug in R3 Chat. Thanks. |
Robert 9-May-2009 [2910x3] | I have an ext3 filesystem and I need to add "nls=utf8" to /etc/fstab for this filesystem to correctly convert filenames that are coming from window machines. |
Just adding this option makes the filesystem read-only while mounting. | |
Any idea how to enable utf8 support? Do I need to "convert" the existing filesystem? | |
ManuM 9-May-2009 [2913] | Henrik: If you are talking about bug#779 I have added a comment at bug http://curecode.org/rebol3/ticket.rsp?id=779&cursor=1 Something similar can be: open-file-manager: funct [ dir ][ call reform [ "xdg-open" dir ]] |
Henrik 9-May-2009 [2914] | very nice and simple. thanks. |
ManuM 9-May-2009 [2915] | Robert: I work with kubuntu 8.10 but I think that can help This is one line from my "/etc/fstab" file. It mounts a fat filesystem at /media/DESARROLLO ( dir /media/DESARROLLO already exists ) /dev/sda7 /media/DESARROLLO vfat rw,utf8,umask=000 0 0 With umask=000 the access to /media/DESARROLLO will be rwxrwxrwx ( the owner is root and the group is root, I don't know how to change it ) |
Robert 9-May-2009 [2916x3] | Ok, trying it. |
There is a tool to convert filenames (convmv) to UTF8. I'm wondering, what influence this has on running programs? | |
For example: IOS has a registry, if I conver the filesystem names to UTF8, will this render the registry entries invalid? | |
ManuM 9-May-2009 [2919] | I don't know ( the two questions ) :) |
Gabriele 12-May-2009 [2920x2] | Robert, afaik file names are utf8 by default on ext filesystems. (actually i think the filesystem does not care much about the encoding, but the os in general uses utf8.) i think you need that option on the ntfs filesystem, not the ext one. |
re: ios, if you have non-ascii chars, it could be a problem. | |
Robert 13-May-2009 [2922x2] | I'm wondering how I got those "invalid UTF-8 characters" onto my EXT3 filesystem. IOS cleans-out filenames that contain special characters, so it should be no problem on the server-side. |
I'm going to try to convert 1 single filename and see what happens. | |
Gabriele 13-May-2009 [2924x2] | most programs do not check that the file name is valid utf-8. normally, you're using a utf-8 terminal so there is no way you can type an invalid filename. but you can easily create one using rebol for eg. or using escape sequences in the shell and so on |
in the same way, you can convert them back as long as you know what the source charset was | |
Robert 13-May-2009 [2926] | Ok thanks. |
Maxim 17-May-2009 [2927x2] | I haven't played with unix for so long I'm a bit (very :-) rusty. when doing an 'ls -al' I get: total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 16 05:37 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 May 16 12:10 .. -rw------- 1 root root 437 May 17 09:35 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 412 Dec 15 2004 .bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140 Nov 19 2007 .profile I can't remember what the "total 20" stands for. it doesn't map to file numbers, block counts used by files, or anything I can gather... is this some type of millisecond count of time it took to perform the file list? |
I used to be an IRIX certified integration expert... working on 1M$ + systems ... this feels strange...I feel like a newbie all over again :-) | |
Dockimbel 17-May-2009 [2929x2] | It matches the number of "o" in double "oo". ;-) |
More seriously, it looks like it's the total number of file system blocks. See there : http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/[fedora-list-:-redhat-:-com]/msg51203.html | |
Maxim 17-May-2009 [2931x2] | ahhh yes using the -h flag does make it explit and clear |
thx for the link | |
Maxim 18-May-2009 [2933x2] | I never really liked linux... (being a fan of "real" unixes which actually do work all the time ;-) and now I am remembering why. |
I got a bare-bones debian install, and am trying to add X11 to it. can any one point me to a real link with explicit instructions? | |
Henrik 18-May-2009 [2935] | apt-get install xserver-xorg might be a good place to start |
Maxim 18-May-2009 [2936x2] | I've tried following instructions from a few sites which show a 3 command line install, but that fails, since it doesn't install x11 , only xwindows, and then it reports its missing about 2% of the files from the distribution server itself. |
yep that fails so far. getting a number of missing packages. | |
Henrik 18-May-2009 [2938] | did you run apt-get update first? |
Maxim 18-May-2009 [2939] | hum.... I seem to remember doing but I was falling asleep on my keyboard by that time... ok so I should de an apt-get update first, and then attempt the xserver-xorg ? |
Henrik 18-May-2009 [2940x2] | the update syncs the repository, so if packages were missing, they should be there now. |
although I find it strange that debians package repository should be that broken. it usually isn't. | |
Maxim 18-May-2009 [2942x2] | the apt-get update did the trick |
thanks :-) I was able to install the whole x11 without complaining. | |
Henrik 18-May-2009 [2944] | neat |
Maxim 18-May-2009 [2945] | there are a few missing files, but so far it at least was able to get to the point where it actually installed the X 11 apps and utilities... not just a few libs |
Henrik 18-May-2009 [2946] | my biggest peeve with it has always been to find that magic package that installs everything you need. |
Maxim 18-May-2009 [2947x2] | retrying to start cheyenne... |
btw all is good, cheyenne/view is working on my server. (in case someone is following the discussion) | |
Henrik 18-May-2009 [2949] | oh, that's nice. do graphics and fonts work? |
Maxim 18-May-2009 [2950] | no clue !! I havn't even started putting content yet :-) working on new ssh-admin upload/download/shortcut features and then remark_mod. until remark_mod is working, no content will be visible. forcing myself to implement what I've been wanting to do for years ;-) |
