MaxV and Andreas, great work on solving the 11.04 problem. So, that 
means these xfonts were on previous versions of Ubuntu, but not 11.

Rebol 2.7.8 not working on Kubuntu 11.04

I have installed xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi but same result
I have installed MaxV .deb package but still the same result.

I look at ldd command and I get a similar output that I got at Kubuntu 
10.10 ( where Rebol 2.7.8 works ok )
Any advice?

Any suggestions with Rebol 2.7.8 and Kubuntu 11.04 problem?

Did you used http://www.maxvessi.net/rebsite/Linux/rebol-2.7.8.4.3-4.i386.deb
?

I'll investigate on Kubuntu..., if you have news, write me to [maxint-:-tiscali-:-it]

@MaxV: Yes I have installed rebol-2.7.8.4.3-4.i386, but same result. 
If I have news I'll tell you. Thank you for your help.

SOLVED!!! You need just to reboot the PC

When you install the rebol.deb file, it autamtically install xfonts 
packages, then you need to reboot the PC

You'll find an incon in the "Applications/Development" panel

Just reboot? Ok, I was trying with a CD-Live so I have never restarted 
after installing the rebol.deb file.  I'll try it tomorow with a 
installed Kubuntu 11.04 and I'll post any new. Thank you for your 
help.

You can probably just restart the X server.

(also, I think there is a way to flush the X server font cache.)

Tested with reboot after installing rebol-2.7.8.4.3-4.i386.deb and 
it works perfect. Thank you Max

I have tested with a CD-Live too, and after installing rebol-2.7.8.4.3-4.i386.deb, 
I log out the session, then restart the X Server from the login screen 
( a hidden option at shutdown icon ), and log in again with ubuntu 
and blank password. And it works perfect. Thank you Gabriele.

A *nix command line question (I think). Using the following command:

	echo '.show' | sqlite3 -separator '\t'

yields

	...
	separator: "\\t"
	...

How do I "escape" the backslash so only one is inserted?

I'm not sure what you mean - I think sqlite is just escaping it in 
the output. ie. same thing as in rebol:

>> as-string #{5E49}
== "^^I"

I'm running REBOL v2.7.8 on an xubuntu box. I want to run the cheyenne 
web server. Anyone know how to dissable automatic startup of Apache2 
server on a Debian-based distro?

Try removing the symbolic link named S80httpd from /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/.

On my Ubuntu 10.04, the symlink seems to be more like /etc/rc3.d/S91apache2, 
so I am not sure for Xubuntu.

I want to put core on a wireless router. Anybody out there doing 
that?

Never done that, but you'll probably need to build a new custom linux 
firmware image for your router.

You can start with OpenWrt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt

I put dd-wrt on a router once, and I heard of fedora on a router, 
and various linux based router os's. I suspect there is three options; 
1. use an x86 pc as a router, 2. use an x86 router, 3. use an arm 
type router with an arm rebol ($$$).

Latest ARM REBOL binaries are v2.5.0, which should be ~9 years old.

Well that is a start.

ew, no async back then. I think there is a work around, but its not 
pretty.

I'm producing a Linux server OS including REBOL, that could be used 
if the router is x86

If the router is ARM, REBOL is a problem, but the Boron or Red languages 
could be used, depending on your needs

@DocKimbel: Thanks! There is a README file in the /etc/rc3.d/ directory 
that indicates to rename the file to a Knnapache2. I'll do it and 
see what blows up. :))

Duke, http://www.debianadmin.com/manage-linux-init-or-startup-scripts.html
(Google is your friend. :)

Ryan, I think Luis was doing some rebol on routers back in the day 
but I could be mistaken.

@Gabriele: - Thank you!! Very good resource ....

Thanks James. I heard someone had done it before. I have pretty much 
decided to scrap the idea for the time being. I seem to be stuck 
on the x86 platform for the time being, and x86 routers are expensive.

Jaime Vargas had a commercial wireless router with embedded Rebol

That was really heavy duty outdoors stuff

Ryan, as long as you're on x86, you could consider Syllable Server:

http://web.syllable.org/pages/about.html#Server

What price range are you aiming for, Ryan? In my experience, x86 
router-like devices are certainly more expensive than the concurring 
architectures, but not prohibitively so.

I.e. EUR 100/USD 130 for a reasonable x86 router box is certainly 
doable.

(Thinking about Alix/Soekris/Orbit Micro-style devices here.)

Under $200 for the router and server (or just router).  Syllable 
sounds tempting.  Can I run stunnel or something else for SSL support?

Does syllable run cheyenne? Can it do something like festival text 
to speech?

Syllable Server includes Cheyenne preconfigured. We're running a 
number of sites on it

SSL can be added to Cheyenne by putting NginX or indeed STunnel in 
front of it, but I haven't done that yet

I am running NginX in front of Cheyenne now without SSL, but it's 
not integrated in a Syllable release yet. I plan to do that in a 
new Syllable Server release in a few months

Before that, single packages can be added or upgraded within Syllable 
Server

Compiling Festival should be possible, too, but it has a few dependencies, 
so those would have to be compiled, as well

Other TTS packages such as FLite or eSpeak could also be used

Is following aproach safe to my server? :-) I use Zentyal, which 
is an add-on upon Ubuntu. My SDK REBOL/Command is screaming it can't 
find libstdc++.so.5
