Greetings, I was trying to update the Lustre Wikipedia page today, and while checking the latest release version, I found that the 2.x download links from these pages do not work: http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Download:Download http://lists.lustre.org/pipermail/lustre-announce/2010-August/000250.html http://downloads.lustre.org/public/lustre/ http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Main_Page I

Hello, I am attempting to create several plots based on "site" (~300 total) and am having trouble with the code. I simply want to create a plot using the code, plot(year, peak), for the following dataset. I would like for each site to be plotted on a separate page and the plots saved in a directory. Would a "foreach" loop work? I tried a "by" statement, but

I ran "apt-get -b source zaptel-source" to download and compile the zaptel source. It successfully compiles and builds the following packages: libtonezone-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb libtonezone1_1.0.2-2_i386.deb zaptel-source_1.0.2-2_all.deb zaptel_1.0.2-2_i386.deb None of them contain the kernel modules. Is there a way I can get it to compile the kernel modules? Thanks, Geoff

I''m running script/console but keep getting the message that irb.bat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

If I have several controller actions which have this same line of code (or more), how can I DRY up the line without running into complaints about redirecting or rendering only once? If I put the line in another method in my controller, won''t it think I''m redirecting? I want to dry up lines like this: @listing = Listing.find(params[:id]) def customerview @listing =

Hi there I''m planning to build "The Perfect Rails/Debian/Lighttpd Stack", published by Ezra Zygmuntowicz and Sean Schertell at http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html I''m wondering what sort of constant maintanance that setup would incur. What actions have be regularly performed to keep this setup healthy and secure under normal conditions? Alder

As I, like many people, are coming to ruby in the rails era, I''m curious about how Ruby Web Dev was done prior to rails.

So I want to SELECT from multiple tables, so as to be able to do "SELECT FROM foo, bar WHERE foo.id=bar.id AND bar.baz=23". How do I do it with AR#find? Also, I need this for associations. has_many et. al. have :finder_sql, which is nice, but feels like a Pyrrhic: it''s basically doing the association in pure SQL, defeating the purpose of AR. -- -Alder

Hi Let''s say we set session[:foo] = ''bar''. Now we want to remove the :foo key completely. How do you do that? Appearantly, session is a CGI::Session [1] instance, so it doesn''t have #delete like Hash. I tried: session[:foo] = nil But then debug(session) shows an empty :foo key. I''d like to remove that key, as my session is already pretty crowded. Is

Hi there I''m considering Rails for a new web-application planned to be built from scratch. The application has an extensive web front, and in fact most of the application is interfaced through that front and engaged through clients'' HTTP requests (i.e. the conventional way web-applications and "dynamic web-sites" work). However, some essential parts are supposed to

Hi there I need to store additional attributes on join table. Searching the Wiki [1] revealed two possible methods: 1) push_with_attributes, as described by Justin Palmer [2]. Unfortunately, "this method is now deprecated" [3]. Even if it wasn''t, there seem to be inherent problems with that approach, for example with updating those additional attributes, though Joshua Muheim

I''m trying to convince a co-founder of the startup I''m working on that rails is the new black, or possibly the next sliced bread. Does rails ship with doc, or the API? I can''t even figure out how to download it from api.rubyonrails.com, or if that''s possible. When I look in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rails-1.1.2\doc I see nothing of use. I have to admit

Hello, I''ve heard these words to describe a RoR application returning an empty page. This happen from time to time even here, in the forum. That is the cause of this misbehaviour ? Is it related with something external to RoR itself ? What is the solution to avoid the WSOD ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

File.open in core Ruby is nifty, in that it automagically closes the file when you''re done using/manipulating it. I''m wondering whether there''s something like that for ActiveRecord? So you can do: AR.find(23).open {|ar| ar.foo = ''bar'' ... } And ar.save would be called when the block closes. -- -Alder

Hi I''m choosing a database for a new Rails application. I pretty much ruled out PostgreSQL, since despite good reviews of the database itself, it seems it has countless issues with Rails (for example: in recent releases migrations don''t work, and unit-tests fail). So I should now choose between MySQL 4.1, which as I understand enjoys widespread popularity - perhaps the most

Hi folks, Does anyone know how to tackle Swedish letters in Rails. Am I completely off track in thinking that it should be done using map or regex in some clever way? Bealach

Hello, I have an project running on a dedicated server: Debian, P4 CPU 3.00GHz, 1GB RAM, ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux], rails (1.0.0), activerecord (1.13.2) lighttpd-1.4.10 + fastcgi + mysql 5.0 7 dispatchers. The project is a game, so a typical user would visit 100+ pages. When the server is busiest, it gets 35-40k requests/hour. For some misterious reason after a number of hours the

Hi all, I''ve been having trouble for a long time with backgroundrb processes that suddenly vanish without a trace. What happens is that at some point I discover that all the backgroundrb processes are suddenly gone. Nothing special is seen in any of the log files. This has happened intermittently for a long time, and I was hoping that upgrading to 1.0.4 would somehow help me out, but

I really hope this is not a bad question (as in he''s abusing the list). However I could use a little direction (even though I''m reading books, tutorials) Right now I''m getting a undefined method `category'' for 4:Fixnum The specific lines from the rhtml file are: <td><%= link_to position.category_id.category, :action => "show", :id =>
