Re: Error with random generator

[Almudena Garcia]

Excuse me, sometimes I press the wrong button when I reply the email.

Finally, I found how shutdown a server, but I forgot to reply for advice of this.

The translator doc is here https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator.html

Another interesting link, with info about translator managing in here: https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-doc-translator

Hello,

Please always keep the mailing list in Cc, so that I am not the only
recipient of the mail. Writing to me only means risking falling in
the middle of my vacations and thus not getting an answer for weeks,
or that I just don't have the time to answer and thus you would at
best get a terse answer, or worse, no answer at all... Conversely,
keeping the list in Cc means avoiding all these issues completely,
you'll involve all the community to help you, make the answers you
get available to everyone, and even archived for web crawlers to find
them whenever somebody has the same issue.

You can use setttrans -fgap for this, to both make the existing
translator go away (-fg) and start another one (-a) and record that
(-p).

Now, this is extremely basic knowledge about translators. I don't know
if that's properly documented. Either it is, and it wasn't advertised
enough for you to find it and thus somebody has to improve that. Or it
isn't, and it needs to be documented and advertised, and again somebody
has to do it.

(No, I don't have the time to do it, and there is no reason why I should
be the one to do it: a lot other people here have the knowledge to do
it, and if it's only a matter of permissions on the wiki, that can be
solved very easily, so it's no excuse)
