World: r3wp

MaxV: It's all about writin a proposal 'how to solve the font issues 
on Linux' then it can be discussed in some more serious way and in 
the end it can be implemented in future releases of R2. So there 
is nothing that blocks you to do the research and propose a solution.

OK

But as I see from your wondering about different font names etc. 
I feel you are realizing this won't be an easy task ;) Anyway, if 
you want to be helpful, just go for it!

http://behdad.org/text/may provide some interesting background reading

i fear you'll be hard-pressed to come up with a very general solution

fontconfig is to the best of _my_ knowledge the most wide-spread 
thing you can use

(for discovering fonts, that is)

As I said I have neither time nor personal need to become 'linux 
font master' so in fact I'm not 'pressed' by anything ;) I'll left 
this part to others.

that was more directed towards massimiliano than towards you :)

ah...I owerlooked the name..you have almost identical 'nick color' 
! :)

so no I realized I'm talkind to you, Andreas :))

I want to use PK authentification with SSH from my client account 
but be able to use two or more different logins. So, one PK for Username-A, 
one for Username-B etc.


How do I set this up? How do I have to name my local private keys 
in that SSH will find them? How and where to store the public keys 
on the server?

I don't think you should care about that, just use:
username-a: "my_string"
username-b: "my_other_string"
call (reform [ "ssh" username-a   mycommands etc] )

However ssh stores files in 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys

See http://support.suso.com/supki/SSH_Tutorial_for_Linux

The public keys are stored in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys for the 
respective users

Key-based SSH authentication is most convenient when used in combination 
with an "ssh agent" that holds the private keys and (temporarily) 
stores their passphrase

You can then just load multiple keys into your SSH agent, and all 
of them will be tried for authentication

So, as Max says, no need to associate usernames with keys in that 
keys (besides setting up $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys correctly)

Ok, thanks. So do you know a SSH agent for OSX? Or is there a standard 
SSH agent CLI tool?

the osx keychain should work for you

Ok, giving all this a try and let you know :-)

When I have setup a portforwarding via SSH, how can I get rid of 
it?

And some more questions: I have a server that listens on port 44000 
in a VM. The VM is using NAT network. The VM NAT router is configured 
to forward port 44000 from the outside to the VM IP on port 44000.

When I use telnet localhost 44000 on the system the VM runs I get 
a connection but the listening server doesn't recognizses it as a 
connection.

When I use: ssh -L 44000:192.168.22.1:44000 [user-:-my_vm_server-:-com], 
from a remote machine, the SSH tunnel is setup and the login is done 
on my_vm_server.com

When I use telnet localhost 44000 from my_vm_server.com than, the 
connection is done and the listen server recognizes it.

When I use telnet localhost 44000 from the remote machine, which 
should tunnel through the SSH channel and forward to 192.168.22.1:44000 
on my_vm_server.com, I get a connection but the listen server doesn't 
recognize it...

Any idea, why the TCP/IP connections from the remote machines are 
not recognized?

When I have setup a portforwarding via SSH, how can I get rid of 
it?


Close the SSH session or, if using OpenSSH, use ~C to enter the client's 
command-line and remove the (remote) forwarding with -KR<port>. You 
can't remove local forwardings this way, afaik.

Ok, thanks.

The latest version of REBOL/View does NOT run on Ubuntu 11 Beta. 
I've tried it on two different machines. You get the old "Bad face 
in screen panel" error.


Does anyone have any ideas about what may be the problem? Ubuntu 
10.10 is fine.

could it be no x11 installed ?

Ubuntu is going to introduce Wayland, a replacement for X11, but 
from what I'm reading it shouldn't be default in 11.04

I'm running Ubuntu Desktop. I've tried it on two laptops -- both 
with and without Unity.

did you check libraries?

ldd

might also just be missing bitmap fonts.

I'll look into it. Thanks.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

In plain English: /View 2.7.8.4.2 works fine (for me) on Ubuntu 11.04.

(u dont really have to say copy from the console)

So I'd say the problem seems to be nothing intrinsic to REBOL, but 
probably something related to missing libraries.

Confirmed, it doesn't work, even adding all dependencies:
libc6
libstdc++6
libx11-6
libxcb1
libxaw7
libfreetype6
libext6
libxt6
libxmu6
libgcc1
libsm6
libice6
libxpm4
zlib1g
libxau6
libxdmcp6
libuuid1
Do I missed any dependecies?

It appears in the console:
** User Error: Bad face in screen pane!
** Near: size-text self
so I think that it''s internal to Rebol...

4.3 or 4.2?

MaxV: that bad face error message happens when u r trying to start 
a rebol/view without an actual x11 server. i was trying to trick 
it with xvfb and xvncserver but no luck

install xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi and the problem should be 
gone

max, you can add those to your dependency list
