If I logout and try to log in again, still the same daemon problem. 4)If I logout, run bonobo-slay, I have a message explaining that some processes will be killed, exactly the same related by fabrice: /usr/lib/bonobo-activation-server * 2 /usr/lib/evolution/1.4/evolution-wombat * 3 THEN I CAN LOGIN WITHOUT PROBLEM I no longer need to reboot my computer now :-=) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Environment : /home NFS mount ( vers=3, tcp, rsize=8192, wsize=8192, nosuid, soft, intr, timeo=600 ) serveur = mdk 9.1 + soft RAID1 ( ext3 partition ), PIV client = current cooker ( 2.4.22-10mdk, GConf-1.0.9-11mdk, GConf2-2.4.0.1-1mdk, nfs-utils-clients-1.0.5-1mdk, kdebase-3.1.92-2mdk, metacity-2.6.1-1mdk ), AMD Symptoms : if for example I quit abruptly gnome - CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE ), next time I want to log, I can't because gnome can't remove the lock ( or find a lock ) in ~/tmp/gconf-username/ ( this location change between mdk 9.1 and mdk 9.2, before this was ~/.gconfd/... ). Sometimes you can read the message saying that you have a locking problem ( and thus read the path to the lock ) but sometimes you see nothing ( just some windows with dash instead of text ... ). A bad combinaisaison is when you log in and have the gnome preference daemon bug ( see #6138 ), then you decide to stop everything before it mess up your session config ( as it asks to remove some applets ... ) by hitting CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE. You reboot the computer to resolve the problem ( argh )and when you try to log in again ... gconf locking problem ( so you need to remove manually the lock ) and then you can log in ( so 3 attempts and 1 reboot just to log in in Gnome ! ). This is really painfull when you have several computers to administer under gnome. the locking proble can be solve by erasing by hand the lock at each gnome start ( i put this in /etc/gnome/gnomerc ), but this is just a hack. Gnome is really too fragile in an NFS environment ...
[Cooker] [Mandrake 10] : Updating the default icon artwork
Hi all In KDE, Crystal icons are nice, but now they seem outdated compared to new icon sets available. I had a look at kde-look artworks, and there are superb pieces of work. Moreover, a new major Mandrake release should correspond to a new look. Here are my preferences : New Icon Set by Sean Parsons http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6753 He has a site : http://thelinuxbox.org These icons are very nice, professional Noia by Carlitus http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=3883 Site : http://www.carlitus.net They are wonderful, but I agree that for a professional environment, maybe they are not classical, sober enough. There is also a Noia Warm version, with redish colours. Slick icons by Amibug http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8313 http://www.digital-confusion.net/slickpreview.jpg download them at : http://www.digital-confusion.net/linux.html They are very nice, very professional. Sean's icons and Slick are not yet finished, but may be complete for Mandrake 10, considering the dynamic of these projects. What do you think ? I always thought that Gnome showed better icons, and KDE could get a new set too. Eric

I think a lot more than 10% will be using kernel-multimedia or kernel-tmb.
But, their needs are provided since kernel-tmb-source and

BTW, all boxed sets (and MandrakeClub) seem to have ATI_{GLX,kernel},
NVIDIA_{GLX,kernel}, the NForce stuff, and some winmodem (features page

win4lin kernels.
Now *that* should cater to at least 90% (the rest being those who
compile their own and the VMWare users).

Re: [Cooker] 9.2 - disaster already?
Fresh 9.2 install on a fresh harddrive. Everything went smooth and the machine rebooted and worked fine. Started Mandrake update and it downloaded/installed a couple of files successfully. After reboot almost the whole menu tree is empty and all application launcher items on the Kicker panel dissapeared. Ran update-menus and that brought back most (if not all) menu entries, but it didn't bring back any of the kicker application shortcuts. Had to start adding them manually again. Now I am almost afraid after reading some similar comments to install any new software or updates.

Re: [Cooker] Re: nvidia driver messes up console mode (framebuffer?)
Le jeu 16/10/2003 à 15:46, Serge Plüss a écrit : So far every NVIDIA driver release has worked fine for me, including playing Neverwinter Nights and Unreal Tournament 2003. No X Lockups, no reboots, no console screwups (with or without framebuffer). Currently runing 4496 with GeForce2 MX 400 on a Athlon 1.4 Thunderbird and Linux version 2.4.22-10mdk on latest cooker. This Machine is usually continuously running for 5 days and shut down for the weekends. Card:NVIDIA GeForce2 DDR (generic): nVidia Corporation|NV11 Geforce2 MX/MX 400 [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:10de device:0110 subv:10b0 subd:0001) Serge P.S. The only console screwups I get with Mandrake 9.1/9.2/cooker is running it under VMWare (all 4.0.x versions) after quitting X. Both with the Mandrake included VMWare driver or the native application one. I have exactly the same setup as you and this problem happens since 8.1 (yes i wrote 8.1 ...) with all nvidia flavors when i booted with framebuffer. If i remove the framebuffer boot, this behaviour doesn't appear. The reason why you don't see it is because you reboot too often. With uptimes of 60/70 days on my machines (same hardware running different Mandrakes) i see it systematically after a 'while' not easy to quantificate ... I discussed with Warly about 2 years ago, and its conclusion was to disable the frame buffer boot. At that time i attributed it to the SGI 20 monitor i use, but it seems it is more nvidia's specific than SGI ... I hope it helps. Stef -- signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Sometimes you can read the message saying that you have a locking problem ( and thus read the path to the lock ) but sometimes you see nothing ( just some windows with dash instead of text ... ). A bad combinaisaison is when you log in and have the gnome preference daemon bug ( see #6138 ), then you decide to stop everything before it mess up your session config ( as it asks to remove some applets ... ) by hitting CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE. You reboot the computer to resolve the problem ( argh )and when you try to log in again ... gconf locking problem ( so you need to remove manually the lock ) and then you can log in ( so 3 attempts and 1 reboot just to log in in Gnome ! ). This is really painfull when you have several computers to administer under gnome. the locking proble can be solve by erasing by hand the lock at each gnome start ( i put this in /etc/gnome/gnomerc ), but this is just a hack. Gnome is really too fragile in an NFS environment ...

By using the same driver on both platforms, significant resources can be saved. - linuxant try to make money of every linux user by forcing them to pay a licence from linuxant in order to use their hardware whereas it's the vendor job to provide support (without any *extra* cost) yes, it's said to be costly *for now* (as hsf co drivers were supposed to be). just look at what they did for their modem drivers once they get a position i do not see any pros in such a trend. after nvidia and ati, we may see support for new hardware become worse and worse :-(

I have even tried with different scsi drives just to make shure it was not the drives. this also happens on my compaq 650 I think it is with a scsi controler and also a dec prioris mx 6200 the thing they all have in common is that they are all Multi procesor pentium pro prioris 6000/4 (4 cpus) prioris mx (2 cpus) compaq (2 cpus) and scsi but the prioris servers use adaptec ultra wide scsi and the compaq uses symbios I think. The install in all cases bombs out trying to format the drives. On a side note I have had mandrake 9.0 on the prioris 6000 and the compaq for a year or so with no issues. Me think I smell a nasty kernel driver issue. -- -~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~- Brook Humphrey Mobile PC Medic, 420 1st, Cheney, WA 99004, 509-235-9107 http://www.webmedic.net, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Holiness unto the Lord -~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-

Re: [Cooker] Downloading 9.2 - quot;Five starsquot;
Le Mercredi 15 Octobre 2003 17:49, Rolf Pedersen a écrit : After 8 hrs, my download was only 20kB/s on 1536/384, max_upload_rate 20. About 700 MB had been downloaded and 1200 MB up. Although 6881-6889 and 6969 were opened both ways, at this point I tried a couple of moves that seemed to have an effect previously. I (1) restarted the torrent with (2) the firewall disabled only until the torrent was well underway and download climbed to around 100 kB/s for the balance. I have a firewall, too. My ADSL is 128/512. The upload speed was always max_upload=13k but the DL speed decreases to 3k after a few hours. This is due to the firewall which allows only my requests on ports 6881-6999 When allowing external connection on thes ports, the DL speed increases up to 30-40k and sometimes more. Then, it is necessary to include in the package a tool which opens these ports and switches them off when closing bitTorrent. On your firewall ( assuming you are using a shorewall based one ) DNAT from your fw to the machine you are actually running bittorrent on. Also cap your upload speed. Once I did that I got 100KB+ second downloads. There is some work to get it running well if you are behind a firweall. -randy
[Cooker] megaraid driver
I am having some trouble with my dell poweredge 1600sc. I have a megaraid controller in it. After installing mandrake 9.1 and mandrake 9.2 I have periodic lock-ups. After using the 2.6 test kernel all seems to be well. For some reason it seems that the default 9.x kernels use the old v1 megaraid drivers and the 2.6 test kernels use the v2 driver. How can I switch over to the megaraid 2 drivers using the 2.4.22 kernels or can someone upgrade the driver so the default megaraid driver in the 2.4.22 kernel is the latest v2 driver

Something seems strange in the spec file:
--with-qtdoc-dir=%_docdir/qt-3.1.2.html/
the spec file in the site is not updated. sorry.
but the problem you describe, it found in my local spec.
another question, what if the rpm is installed in a box where
qtdocdir=/usr/lib/qt3.2 for example?
how can i work around it?
That would not be a regular mandrake installation.
Maybe something like that would work:
VERSION=rpmquery --qf %{VERSION} libqt3-devel
QTDOCDIR=%_defaultdocdir/qt-$VERSION/doc/html

A workaround is to launch update-menus as root. I'll see what I can do maybe you guys dont use kde. but in at least 3 or 4 fresh installs when ever you install any package with a menu for kde this happens. It does fine if you get them all during install but if you install any kde apps after the os is installed this happens as well as all the icons missing off kicker. It is rather annoying. Aha, maybe that's just the problem! KDE caches the menu; I believe 60 seconds by default. So you have to not look at the menu for 60 seconds, or log out and in and the menu should appear OK again.

The only problems i have with mandrake is that i have a few file/print/firewall servers around and lately there has been a group hitting the dsl modem users in town badly. Now the mandrake firewall keeps them out just fine but the dsl modem takes such a huge bashing from packet overload that it locks up the modem and eventually the linux box looses the adsl connection which I have not found anything for yet accept to reboot the linux box and shut of the modem. I have tried restarting the network and all the deamons that are used for the connection sharing but i must be missing one someplace because it will only work after a reboot. this includes adsl, shorewall, network, dhcp, and named.
