As probably most people on the list do, I try to get friends and
family off Internet Explorer. Recently on Slashdot there was mention
of a game that only works in Chrome:
http://getcrackin.angrybirds.com/

Angry Birds is a popular game, and just sending this link to people
gets most of them to install Chrome! So I encourage other list members
to "suggest" this game to friends and family. Don't even mention
Chrome, let them discover that detail on their own.

  The romantic lie in the brain
  Of the sensual man-in-the-street
  And the lie of Authority
  Whose buildings grope the sky:
  There is no such thing as the State
  And no one exists alone;
  Hunger allows no choice
  To the citizen or the police;
  We must love one another or die.

Finding recent new Debian packages

Amos Shapira — 2012-05-20T11:12:35

Hello,

I use aptitude to maintain packages on my desktop Debian wheezy system.
This morning I saw an interesting package in the list of "new packages" but
didn't install it.
In the evening I stumbled into someone who might be interested in this kind
of a package, but I can't remember its name.
The only thing I know about it is that it was added to Debian in the last
24 hours or so (previous update happened yesterday).

Is there a way for me to find Debian packages listed by time of upload?

For what it's worth - it was something related to distributing processing
load across multiple computers (e.g. office desktops) and taking advantage
of their CPU power while they are not used for anything else. I'm not
talking about distributed.net and friends but something which can allow a
corporate to take advantage of the processing power of its own desktops for
its own purposes.

Thanks,

--Amos

Semantic C code indexing and query tool

Baruch Siach — 2012-05-14T04:34:56

Hi linux-il,

I'm looking for a tool that can do semantic search is a body of C code.  
Example query: "give me all references to field y in struct x defined in file 
z.h". I would prefer an open source, command line driven tool. C++ support is 
an advantage. Does such a tool exist?

[HAIFUX LECTURE] InfiniBand,RoCE and RDMA Verbs - Empowering Supercomputing and Data CenterInterconnects by Dotan Barak

Eli Billauer — 2012-05-12T19:47:16

On Monday, May 14th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Dotan 
Barak:

   InfiniBand, RoCE and RDMA Verbs - Empowering Supercomputing and Data 
Center Interconnects

Abstract

This lecture aims to provide a brief introduction to the InfiniBand 
architecture and programming using RDMA verbs. InfiniBand is an open 
standard, used in HPC (supercomputing) and data center environments for 
high performance connectivity. This standard defines a complete fabric 
architecture, from the physical layer all the way to the programming 
API. The programming API, also known as RDMA verbs, allows for 
transparent memory operations over the network, transport layer 
offloading, and a complete kernel bypass.
  
=================================================================

We meet in Taub building, room 3 (or 6, room swaps have occurred 
lately). For instructions see:

Israeli Linux Related Web Sites - Outdated and User UnFriendly!

Amichai Rotman — 2012-05-12T09:03:31

Hello Fellow Israeli Linuxers!

I was going over some Israeli Linux web sites (using http://www.linux.org.il
 and http://www.hamakor.org.il as starting points) and I've noticed a few
problems:

   1. most of the mention the same resources (obviously).
   2. Almost all of them are in English only.
   3. Some of the links on the "Israeli Resources" pages are dead - i.e.:
   http://www.zulo.org.il.
   4. All of them are outdated - both design (The IGLU site is the
   exception) and content-wise.

I have no idea in Web development and/or design, but what I *do* have is
lots of motivation, free time and some basic translation skills.

I am willing to learn, so if someone spends an hour explaining to me how to
improve the above points, and gives me the appropriate credentials, I will
be more the glad to help out in remedy the situation.

We have to make the Israeli Linux Portal more welcome for the Israelis,
starting with the most obvious task: Making Hebrew content available!

Thoughts?

Amichai Rotman.

Looking for SELinux help/consultant

Lior Kaplan — 2012-05-10T12:17:45

Hi,

I'm trying to make a existing apache/php application to work with SELinux.

For most problems I figured out what to change or do so the application
would work OK
(e.g. allowing certain ports, clearing execstack and stuff). But I got left
with a few socket
access problems due to context difference which I wasn't able to solve (no
matter which
context the files got).

I'm looking someone who could help me to figure out the missing bits. So
far I wasn't able
to find someone with SELinux experience, and that's why I'm addressing this
list.

Thanks,

Kaplan

writing data over RS232

Diego Iastrubni — 2012-05-07T18:24:36

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 rea

TV card - tuner (not dvb)

Shlomo Solomon — 2012-05-07T15:14:17

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.

compare software

Erez D — 2012-05-06T10:52:04

Hello,

We have developers which are used to work under windows (visual studio)
We are now writing code for linux using linux.

So i let them use Eclipse as an ide (i myself use vim).
now for a diff tool (i use vimdiff), they are used to beyond compare
i know i can get a linux version of beyond compare. but i preffer open
source.

i was told, that for instance, you can tell beyond compare to ignore
comments, or ignore regexps.

is there an open source alternative ?

can i do that (ignore comments) in vimdiff (without filtering)

thanks,
erez.

[HAIFUX LECTURE] Scientific Python by Uri Barkan

Eli Billauer — 2012-05-05T18:31:09

On Monday, May 7th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Uri Barkan


   Scientific Python


Abstract


(For a longer description in Hebrew, see http://haifux.org/lectures/277/ )


In scientific programming, software is used for the purpose of research 
of processes. This method is used today in almost every field of 
science: Mathematics, physics, biology, medicine, engineering and even 
in social science. This includes e.g. numerical analysis, analysis of 
data and numerical optimization.

One of the most popular programs in this field is MATLAB, which is 
distributed with a proprietary license by the Mathworks. The academic 
establishment endorses knowledge sharing, and is therefore keen to adopt 
free software, which is ideologically closer to the its underlying 
values of freedom of knowledge. The appearance of free alternatives to 
MATLAB in the recent years is therefore no surprise. One of these 
alternatives is based upon the Python programming language.

This lecture will present how Python

help with ls command

Camelia Botez — 2012-05-01T10:59:42

I have 2 servers running Rhel5 and Centos5.
Around 2 weeks ago on both of them , I have specific directories on which ls command gets stuck.
I don't get any output from ls , I cannot stop the command - I only can close the window.
I rebooted the servers and when I saw that reboot didn't help I ran manually  fsck.
No improvement.
Has anyone any idea what can be the cause and what to do?


Thank you

network routing problem

David Ronkin — 2012-04-23T19:00:44

Hi all
I don't want to make it too technical, just maybe somebody occured with
similar problem and have a clue:

We have a debian server that has 2 nw cards: DMZ & Office.
It used to work well with our old sisco router. But a boss asked to move
onto a fortigate router.

Once we did it - as is (all other severs work ok) but on this debian all
"s" services (https, ssh) became blocked from the Office & still ok for DMZ.

Famous NW provider got stuck meanwhile..
Any hint?

[HAIFUX LECTURE] Modern Web Development in Perl by Gabor Szabo

Eli Billauer — 2012-04-21T16:45:13

On Monday, April 23rd at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by 
Gabor Szabo:


   Modern Web Development in Perl


Abstract


Back in the early years of the dynamic web, Perl was the de-facto choice 
of language. It was so ubique that people associated it with CGI. For 
that, even today, Perl suffers from a bad image. Even though, under the 
visible surface, there are strong powers leading to a much better future. 

In the last couple of years a new bread of frameworks appeared in the 
Perl world. They are all based on the PSGI standard that rhymes to WSGI 
and Rack. In this presentation we will see a couple of examples for 
writing PSGI ( http://plackperl.org/ ) and Dancer ( 
http://perldancer.org/ ) based applications.

About the speaker: Gabor Szabo is a long time Perl developer and 
trainer. He has been using Perl since 1995 and teaching it since 2000. 
He is runs his blog at http://szabgab.com/ and publishes a weekly 
newsletter with Perl related news called Perl Weekly: 
http://perlweekly.com/ .
