Re: A simple question about hebrew in terminal
Quoting Dan Shimshoni : Hello, I have support in hebrew on my Linux desktop (Fedora 10). I can switch to hebrew with the keyboard indicator and it works. Say I want to perform a simple operation in terminal: rename a file named a.txt to קובץ.txt I type: "mv a.txt" and then, when I type: ק and then ו and then "ב" and then "ץ" it shows: ץבוק I can of course write the letters in reverse order, but this is not comfortable to do it for each rename operation. Is there a way to solve this ? If I am not wrong I heard about some BIDI support, but it seems to me that this BIDI support is for some specific word processing/editors. I an talking about the gnome-terminal. First, I wouldn't worry about it. The name of the file is OK - the letters are entered into the directory in the correct order, and if you show it in a BiDi aware application (say, konqueror or whatever file explorer you use), it will show properly. There are terminal applications that support BiDi. This is usually not a very good idea because it tends to confuse issues with the cursor and mess up curses-based applications. Personally, I actually prefer to work in non BiDi aware apps to enter data (e.g. Write HTML or localization files or whatnot). It's easier to tell which character is the 10th from the quote etc. even in a mixed string. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Since I was the one who mentioned Linux-HA/heartbeat in the first place, I feel compelled to say that 0) I have no affiliation or vested interest in Linux-HA, and I am not going to take the job of its public defender on. 1) I cannot comment on the problems that Itay et al. had since I don't know what they were and don't understand some of the (incomplete) use case descriptions. See item 0 above, thorough investigations can go to the appropriate Linux-HA forums. 2) My experiences with Linux-HA were separated in time by a few years and have always been in the context of HA of quite a bit more than just IP address, including DRBD, etc., for management (i.e., no serious high performance server traffic requirements, no "five nines" or anything like that, only "we need HA of management systems"; DRBD integration was a big draw.). It is certainly possible that if one needs only a virtual IP there are other solutions. I mentioned it because I knew that virtual IP was one of the things it did. 3) Allow me to take the claims of "too steep learning curve" with a grain of salt. The last time I recall (a year, maybe less, ago) it took a *competent* person a few hours from "never heard of Linux-HA" to reading the docs, installing and configuring it, integrating it with a very non-trivial server application, verifying in the lab, demoing live that it works, and being very satisfied the experience. This included IP address HA, uninterrupted client sessions through failover, live replication of configuration changes, contiguous real-time management of a complicated network infrastructure through failover, etc. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | o...@goldshmidt.org ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

It is true that if I try to browse the contents of this directory with mozilla for example, it shows indeed : File:קובץ.a However, when I try to look at the contents of that directory using midnight commander, it shows garbage. something like: ץ???ק.a And it is important for me to view the contents of directories with hebrew file names properly with midnight commander as it is my daily file management app. Any ideas? ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

You should look for a way to set up its encoding, to be aware of UTF-8 file names. Herouth ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
