Comment on irrepressible.info Widget from Amnesty International by Rob

I’m… Very confused. This is just temporarily pulling snippets from irrepressible.info with Javascript; it’s not storing them anywhere permanently, and it’s all served from one central location.
If you’re an Iran or China, all you need to do is block irrepressible.info and you block all the snippets in one go.

Am I missing something here?

@Fil, yes that’s a commonly seen error on some perls. Switching on UseLocale does work around it and I use this trick myself frequently … not that I know _why_ that fixes the error …

Erm I don’t know, strange error to get as the Filter Plugin isn’t that complicated. Might be something to do with your platform and/or version of Perl. Im using Perl 5.10 on Debian Linux with $Foswiki::cfg{UseLocale} = 0;.

I doubt having UseLocale on will have any side effects, but you could always ask a question on foswiki.org.

I’m running latest Foswiki and FilterPlugin on most current version of MacOS Tiger, all patched to recent, and perl 5.8.6. Tried doing this trick to WebTopicList, but got “Insecure dependency in require while running with -T switch.”

I fixed it by adding
$Foswiki::cfg{UseLocale} = 1;
to LocalSite.cfg

Is that a reasonable thing to do to fix this?

Comment on Connecting to Cisco VPN with Ubuntu 9.04 by Andrew Jones

@Dang: Im not sure, but I guess if you wanted to install it on a computer that does not have the internet then you would need to get the source and build it yourself. The problem is, you would have to do this for each of its dependencies as well, which could be a lot of work.

Since a VPN client is useless without access to the internet, I would just wait until you have the internet connection. It only takes a seconds to install and is painless

Dear Mr!
Thank for your sharing but my problem is: I have to install VPN then I will allow to access to Internet. In ur instruction you said type this command
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
But in my case, I still don’t have Internet yet so how can I download this packet and install it.
I’ve just downloaded vpnc packet in windows but I don’t know how to install it in Ubuntu. Can you have me to solve this problem?
Please email me at: duyphidang@gmail.com
Thank for your help!
