I think we're missing something here - maybe you didn't actually write
1234, but a password containing an exclamation point ("!")?
The "event not found" suggests there is an explanation point: Look at
this:
$ bash
$ echo hi!hello
bash: !hello: event not found
$ echo "hi!hello"
bash: !hello": event not found
$ echo hi\!hello
hi!hello
$ password="hi!hello"
bash: !hello": event not found
$ password="hi\!hello"
$ echo $password
hi\!hello
So, as you can see, bash sucks seriously in this regard - it forces you
to quote the "!", but then you are left with that quote...
The good news, is that this suckiness only happens for interactive
shells, not in shell scripts. In an interactive shell, you can use "set +H"
to disable this behavior:
$ set +H
$ password="hi!hello"
$ echo $password
hi!hello

TV card - tuner (not dvb)
My computer is dying. For reasons not relevant to this post I'm sure it's a hardware problem, so I'll probably be buying a new one. I have a generic SAA7130 PCI TV card that has worked for years. It's connected to the analogue output of a YES "MEMIR" (and before that to HOT). I use tvtime (and sometimes xawtv) as my TV viewer. Unfortunately, new computers no longer have PCI slots, so I'll need a new card (or more probably a USB dongle). I've Googled for recommendations, but haven't really found a solution. Does anyone on the list have a working solution to suggest? My needs are simple. I just want to connect to my "MEMIR" and watch TV in a window, while using the computer for writing, browsing, etc. The possibility to record TV programs would be nice, but is NOT essential. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail 1.13.3 (KDE 4.4.3) on LINUX Mandriva 2010.1 ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Suggestion: Forward it to the Minister's bureau and to the Director General's office (emails are on http://www.moag.gov.il/agri/English/contacts.htm, consider snail mail), explain that Ms. Alzraki's email was offensive, and both she and Baruch Levi behaved grossly unprofessionally and in a manner not becoming civil servants (he should have thought what he was forwarding, she should not have written what she did even in an internal email). Then explain that the overall lack of professionalism is evident not only from the manner these two people communicated with the taxpayer (you) but also from the fact that the site that is supposed to provide service to the citizen does not comply with international standards. Mention that you expect a reaction within 45 days (I think this is what the law says), including what the Ministry is planning to do to make the site usable. Maybe the timing will actually make the Minister light a fire under some piece of someone's anatomy?

It is of course a bet, because a new one might use another chipset which does not work in Linux. You can buy from an Israeli site for at least twice the price if you care for faster shipping.

writing data over RS232
Hi all, I have been assigned at work to write a specific protocol between two machines, which eventually will be over RS232. As part of the development I decided to write it on linux, and simulate the communication using a named pipe. In theroy, it should be trivail since the protocol only needs to know about the FD to read/write to, correct? Wrong. I face two problems (maybe one, as both problems seem similar): When I try to read from the PC (Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit), the read just aborts returning "0". If I run the application several times, I somtimes see that the app can read ONE byte. Sometimes. When I write from the PC, and read from the device (Andriod, 2.3.7, Linux 2.6.38.8) the android device reads garbage. I mean, the byte count is wrong, and the content is usually garbage. When I connect microcom (busybox) on Android (actually "microcom /dev/ttyS3 | hexdump -C") I can see that the bytes sent are mostly arriving, however maybe times bytes are missing, and sometimes the same bytes are read twice (I sent "testing 123" and read "testing 12323"). Some remarks: - ttyS* are opened on both sides using "open(file, O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY)" - speeds are set on both side using "csetispeed(&to, B1900);csetospeed(&to, B1900);", note that I lowered the speed for the test. - The Android side has no HW flow control (that might be the trigger). What would you recommend me to do? - diego ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: writing data over RS232
RS232 has a lot of settings, baud rate is only one of them You can use 'stty -a' to see what available. Unless all your settings are correct you are going to have a problem with communication.
