RE: "Revolution OS" movie
What exactly is the difference between my suggestion and Vitaly's ? I quote: "It's VHS NTSC, I have two VCRs in NDS library for copying." And: "I don't have "public screening rights", but I wrote them about public screening when ordered tape, so IMHO we have no problem with copyright." So first of all, this is not my idea. Second, using new technologies is not always with bad intentions. This can be an example for a good use of the ripping technology, considering there is no legal problem.

mono project status
Hi list, I would like to know the status of the mono project: 1) the compiler: how ready is it? I have been told that it is a windows executable which the runtime interpreters in linux, so my questions are: how good does it compile? how good does it run on windows/linux? The web site tells that the compiler work and they rewrote some optimizations , but I would like to know from experience. 2) the runtime: i know it is not still finished (windows.forms is not yet written since gtk# had just the first release), but for console programs is it good enough? for example the compiler itself? is gtk# based on gtk1 or gtk2? I guess gtk2 since c# is unicode enabled... but who knows... 3) jit: I know it is still it basicly non existing, but for x86 platform it does exist, it has not been ported to other architectures. will it reprocure a file will be executable by linux, containing the ms intermediate language which be compiled at run time, or will it reproduce a win32 executable which will be run by an external interpreter and then compiled n runtime? (for those who got lost, mono is a ximian project for writing a c sharp compiler for the linux architecture, distributed under the terms of gpl, for the windows forms they will use gtk, which has it's own c# binding by now, and they will be able to run c# binaries written for windows c# not including those who use dot.net) - diego -- Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing. = 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]

Trouble when installing RH7.3 - with solutions
Shalom, I just reinstalled RH7.3 over a botched manual upgrade from RH7.2->RH7.3 and found the folowing problems: * because of a setting in /etc/pam.d/xserver, regular users cannot start an X session. The server reports that PAM authentication failed. Check the solution at http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/newbie/2002-April/015052.html * the initscripts have an error in that runlevels 0 and 6 (shutdown and reboot, resp.) do not have the symlinks S00killall and S00halt for runlevel 1 and the symlinks S00killall and S00reboot (this one is tricky, it points to /etc/init.d/halt, and that script knows when it is called as halt or as reboot). This lacune causes the computer neither to reboot nor to shutdown properly, including unmounting the filesystem. Finally, a problem that was specific to my case: I was trying to make more space in / (a 100 Mb partition) and in the process corrupted the / filesystem. When I installed 7.3 over the old install, I didn't format /var as it had some valuable material. (mysql databases and /var/www). Problem is that I kept the rpm database intact, so the installer didn't overwrite those packages that had the same version on the 7.3 iso images as the ones rpm thought were installed. (basically the installer uses rpm -F, I believe) Result was that many packages were ghosts, which I had to identify by running `rpm -Va|grep ^missing`, then examining the results by running rpm -qf , then run `rpm -i --replacepkgs ` on the resulting package names (which were of course filtered so that all packages were reinstalled only once). The whole thing was obviously automatized to a certain degree. Question: rpm -F does not acept --replacepkgs, is there a one liner way of doing something equivalent?

Redhat Linux 7.3 ISOs on IGLU
Hi, ISO images of RedHat Linux 7.3 can now be downloaded from IGLU's mirror ( ftp://ftp.iglu.org.il/pub/mirrors/redhat ). Their contents can also be viewed and downloaded from the regular structure in the RedHat mirror hierarchy thanks to wonders of loopback-mounting and the 'union' utility I wrote :) Today I've received a complaint claiming the MD5 sum of valhalla-docs.iso didn't match the published one, so I've redownloaded this file and now its MD5 matches. I didn't check whether the file previously there had an incorrect MD5 as claimed -- so if you downloaded this file before my announcement, just check your MD5 yourself with md5sum and compare.

OpenOffice/bidi fonts problems
Hi I'm trying to set up OpenOfice. I downloaded the debs. They installed nicely on my system (debian woody, with glibc 2.2.5, BTW) The file name and the package name does not mention that it is "bidi" or anything special. Nither does "help->about" Are there any docs of the Hebrew support? Any special instructions? They were not in the documentation directory of the openoffice deb package. I could not figure out how to read and write Hebrew. I could see a list of Type1 fonts in the fonts menu (helvetica, times, bookman, etc.). What do I need to do to make it use my Hebrew fonts? -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir = 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]

The fonts issue was due to the use of a fonts server (and a non-standard one: xfstt . Still left for historical reasons). I switched to local fonts dir and things work, including printing. One part of a document in which bidi was not working was a WordArt object in one sample Word97 document I tried reading. All-in-all my small collection of word97 documents is read rather well. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir = 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]

There seem to be a problem with my locale though, When I try to start it I get this error message: [sagi@beep sagi]$ OpenOffice.org1.0/soffice I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8;LC_NUMERIC=en_US;LC_TIME=en_US;LC_COLLATE=en_US;LC_MONETARY=en_US;LC_MESSAGES=en_US;LC_PAPER=en_US;LC_NAME=en_US;LC_ADDRESS=en_US;LC_TELEPHONE=en_US;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US;LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US" Aborted [sagi@beep sagi]$ I could override it with LC_CTYPE=en_US, but then I cannot read hebrew filenames, and I if I don't have LC_CTYPE=en_US global (set it before I start X) the fonts are not anti-aliased too (not really sure whats the connection..) So, anyone knows how to make it accept .utf8 encoding?

debs for OpenOffice, take #2.
Greetings, I was a little rash in releasing the debs too quickly. I have just finished creating the second revision of the package which includes a document about BiDi in OO from IBM. Hopefully it will be uploaded as soon as I get Mati's approval to include the document in the package.

Re: OpenOffice/bidi fonts problems
I've had the same problem, and for the same reasons, I suspect. How do I change this configuration?
