In plain English: /View 2.7.8.4.2 works fine (for me) on Ubuntu 11.04.

(u dont really have to say copy from the console)

So I'd say the problem seems to be nothing intrinsic to REBOL, but 
probably something related to missing libraries.

Confirmed, it doesn't work, even adding all dependencies:
libc6
libstdc++6
libx11-6
libxcb1
libxaw7
libfreetype6
libext6
libxt6
libxmu6
libgcc1
libsm6
libice6
libxpm4
zlib1g
libxau6
libxdmcp6
libuuid1
Do I missed any dependecies?

It appears in the console:
** User Error: Bad face in screen pane!
** Near: size-text self
so I think that it''s internal to Rebol...

4.3 or 4.2?

MaxV: that bad face error message happens when u r trying to start 
a rebol/view without an actual x11 server. i was trying to trick 
it with xvfb and xvncserver but no luck

install xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi and the problem should be 
gone

max, you can add those to your dependency list

(and you'll most certainly have to re-login to your x session after 
installing those packages.)

i was even trying ssh -X from a linux box but it didn't help either.

install the bitmap fonts and you'll be fine

Andreas: but r u talking about starting /view on an actual X11 server? 
or is it possible to start it without a real X11 head?

x forwarding (ssh -X) certainly works

xvfb should work as well, but i haven't tried it in ages

in both cases, you'll need the bitmap fonts installed in the respective 
x server

yes, xvfb works fine:
$ xvfb-run ./rebol -qsvw --do "print [system/version view?]"
2.7.8.4.2 true

SOLVED!!! Added dependecies xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi !!!! Thank 
you very much Adnreas!!!!!!!!
You can download last linux packages from: 
http://www.maxvessi.net/rebsite/Linux/

If you use the linux packages, all dependencies are automatically 
downloaded!!!

Max, have you looked into what would be required to get a proper 
repository for R2 and maybe R3 set up in multiverse?

tested :  installation ok

I'm working to put in it on Launchpad

Launchpad doesn't accept only binaries, it  wants the source and 
the it builds the binaries. I'll investigate on Multiverse...

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.
