Gabriele 3-Oct-2009 [3203x4] | The criticism I made to RouterOS was very targeted and very simple, and you of course completely ignored it. I said two things: 1) there is absolutely no reason they had to add the stupid shell they have when you connect via SSH 2) there is no reason why what they do could not have been implemented on top of debian, or any other distribution, thus allowing people who know what they are doing to provide extra services that are beyond what's in their default configuration. That is just a stupid choice. So, most people don't care or need, and for them MT may be a good choice. That does not make them a good alternative to a linux box, neither a good alternative to Janko's problem above, and from what you say they may be even making things worse. |
Also, I don't see what's so magical with Cisco that if people are replacing it then it must mean something... | |
oh, my third criticism to MT, 3) there is no reason why they are offering a windows-only gui instead of a web-based one like everyone else in the world. | |
that said, their hardware looks nice and cheap. | |
Pekr 3-Oct-2009 [3207x3] | Gabriele - let's make a peace in the above case. I am sorry if I offended you :-) |
btw: MT offers web interface, but you can't set everything with it ... | |
Maybe I should write Winbox in View :-) | |
Gabriele 4-Oct-2009 [3210] | I am not offended, I'm just sad that everytime I say something simple it gets interpreted as something big and complex that would hurt people... |
BrianH 4-Oct-2009 [3211] | Ouch, that would be bad :( |
Reichart 5-Oct-2009 [3212] | I am not offended, I'm just sad that everytime I say something simple it gets interpreted as something big and complex that would hurt people... ... :) |
MikeL 5-Oct-2009 [3213] | Yes everyone is growly and feeling unappreciated for their work ... the beta can't be too far off. |
Janeks 9-Oct-2009 [3214x2] | What would be the right place (diretory) to put rebol executable under linux debian? |
Seems like /usr/bin | |
Oldes 9-Oct-2009 [3216] | Can I create and use own icon for binary application on linux so it will be included when I distribute such an app as an archive? |
Claude 15-Oct-2009 [3217x4] | hi, do you have a solution for the BROWSE problem on linux ? |
a work around is to use CALL like this "call [firefox "http://www.rebol.com"] | |
but i don't like it !!!!! | |
up - i would like an another solution for BROWSE in linux - please ;-) | |
ManuM 15-Oct-2009 [3221] | Claude, I have a similar solution, I redefine browse in user.r browse: funct [ url ] [ call reform [ "x-www-browser" url ]] So you can do browse http;//www.rebol.com But docs, and bugs donīt work ( you can redefine them too If you want ), but I think you don't like this solution. |
Claude 16-Oct-2009 [3222] | thanks for your redefine solution. perhaps carl could do something about this problem |
btiffin 16-Oct-2009 [3223] | ManuM; I have browse: func [url] [call rejoin ["opera -backgroundtab " url] and that seems to work great with bugs and docs. Debian with A87 ... Although this version hangs the console until Opera exit if Opera isn't already running ... |
ManuM 17-Oct-2009 [3224] | Thank you Brian. Now seems tha "bugs" and "docs" are working with my own definition. I'm not sure when I saw they failling, may be an old version, I don't know. I have the same issue wiht Opera hangs. |
BudzinskiC 22-Oct-2009 [3225] | Hi, any idea how to get the Word Browser from Rebol -> Tools to work on Linux? I get an error after I click a category and then a word: ** User Error: Bad face in screen pane! ** Near: show main This is using Rebol/View 2.7.6.4.2 on Arch Linux. |
Henrik 22-Oct-2009 [3226] | sounds like a font problem |
BudzinskiC 22-Oct-2009 [3227] | Thanks for trying to help :) With font problem, do you mean something like a missing font? I got these installed: ttf-ms-fonts, ttf-dejavu, ttf-bitstream-vera, xorg-fonts-100dpi, xorg-fonts-75dpi, and xorg-fonts-misc. Any idea what kind of font would be missing for the Word Browser? |
Ashley 22-Oct-2009 [3228] | try: help font- view layout [text "test" font-fixed] view layout [text "test" font-sans-serif] view layout [text "test" font-serif] |
BudzinskiC 22-Oct-2009 [3229] | Thanks, I tried it. No problems with any of those three, everything was displayed correctly and no errors in the console. |
Ashley 22-Oct-2009 [3230] | Try same, but with bold and underline (e.g.view layout [text "test" font-fixed bold underline]) |
BudzinskiC 22-Oct-2009 [3231x2] | No problems there either. |
Tried italic too, just to make sure. | |
Ashley 22-Oct-2009 [3233] | Probably not a font issue then. Works fine here on OSX so sounds like a Linux specific error. Does RebGUI work? (REBOL/Demos group) |
BudzinskiC 22-Oct-2009 [3234] | Yeah works on OS X for me too, got that on my laptop. RebGUI seems to work fine, went through a few of the tabs, nothing crashed. |
Ashley 22-Oct-2009 [3235] | Let's see if anyone else on Linux has the same issue, otherwise a feedback is in order. Good find. |
BudzinskiC 22-Oct-2009 [3236] | Yeah hopefully I can get this fixed somehow. I don't use the laptop that often and it would be nice to have the Word Browser for reference here on my desktop while learning REBOL, but the website is okay too. Thanks for your help though, much appreciated. |
Steeve 22-Oct-2009 [3237x3] | What do you call the "Word brother" ??? |
*Browser | |
ok, got it | |
Claude 22-Oct-2009 [3240] | browse !!! ? |
Steeve 22-Oct-2009 [3241] | This: http://www.rebol.com/view/tools/word-browser.r |
ManuM 22-Oct-2009 [3242] | Budzinski: No problem here with word-browser when I select a category and then a word. Works fine on Kubuntu 9.04 and Rebol/View 2.7.6.4.2. Try to reload again the script with right button and then reload over the Word Browser Icon |
BudzinskiC 22-Oct-2009 [3243] | ManuM, thanks for the tip. I tried it but it's still the same. |
Kaj 24-Oct-2009 [3244] | Normally it's a problem right at startup of View and it's fixed by installing the X11 fixed size bitmap fonts, but you seem to have those already. Are there any other bitmap fonts packages that you can install? |
BudzinskiC 24-Oct-2009 [3245x2] | Kaj, here are all the available packages with "font" in the name: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&arch=i686&repo=&q=font&last_update=&limit=all Anything that sounds like it could be the right one? And thanks for trying to help. |
Hmm AltMe cut off the message, but the link still works, just click on it, don't copy and paste (it's displayed incorrectly). Does any package there sounds like it could be the one I need? And thanks for trying to help. | |
Kaj 24-Oct-2009 [3247x5] | Yeah, View has no rich text, and AltME screws up the hotlink overlays |
You could try xorg-fonts-alias, in case a font is installed but not found because the name doesn't match | |
I don't see much else you could try. Maybe the ttf-ms-fonts, because it has popular font names, but that would be a new case of the problem | |
I remember trying the Biggelow Holmes fonts on Zenwalk, so you could try font-bh-ttf, but I don't remember if those were the ones to fix it | |
Those font packages all have different names on different Linux distros - one facet of the disaster | |
BudzinskiC 24-Oct-2009 [3252] | No change. I tried to install a few more font packages but those didn't help either. But thanks for your help, it was worth a try :) |
