 I never seen this before so I assumed it was a cdrom problem.
 So I removed the cdrom drive connect it to another computer and it
 doesn't work any more.
 doesn't even turn the ligth on.

 In my company we have several of these machines so I removed a cdrom
 from another PC 300 PL machine
 and connected to this one, just to see if i could finnish the instalation.

 It just fried the second cdrom drive also (LG CRD-8400B)

 I realized that the new mandrake just cost me to CDROM drives.
 I couldn't believe it.

 So I went and got a new drive this time from a diferent manufacture and
 more recent.
 This time everything was fine, and the installation was executed with no
 problem.

This issue is being tracked (ie on the maintainers list), but the people
at Mandrakesoft haven't had much confirmation (I think you're about the
4th reporter now), and it's a bit difficult to test workarounds ... (and
I don't know if they have managed to source a device to test with).

All the other reports were also for LG drives (I think the same model).

 Another thing the machine had mandrake 9.1 installed there, and at never
 had problem with the CDROM drive.

Have you still got such a machine running with Mandrake 9.1?

I guess it's time to note this on the errata page and/or notify other
common haunts of Mandrake users (Vince, when can I point the folk at
pclinuxonline.com to some official notification of this issue?).

Buchan

You might also want to have a look at leaves packages (packages
that are not required by any other ones), there are things to
remove from them, especially the ones that match /^lib/. You may
want to use commandline urpmi_rpm-find-leaves or the relevant
sort option in rpmdrake-remove.


 urpmi_rpm-find-leaves gives me a lot of packages.

It lists all packages that are not required by other packages, but this
may include packages you want (like OpenOffice.org or kdenetwork-kmail
or similar).

I wonder if there shouldn't be some way to define the packages you want,
so this can be more automatic (apparently dselect or some Debian tool
does this, remembering the packages you *wanted* to install, not their
deps).

OK, the crash seems to be in xine's internal libdvdnav library. If you don't
have libdvdcss installed, you can't play CSS-encrypted DVDs, but it shouldn't
crash either. It would be nice if you could test it with libdvdcss installed.

 With all the complaining about missing packages (i.e. kernel-source package) 
 and the debate about what should have been left out instead (i.e. emacs or 
 alternate kernels, etc.) I had a thought that might be helpful.

 Obviously, in order to make everybody happy, the number of images needs to be 
 increased,  I was thinking that isos could be created for the base distro, 
 say two, and then supplemental isos for gaming/eyecandy/mm stuff, development 
 stuff, and then international/localizations packages.  That way I would not 
 be forced to download four big images to get what I want, I could just 
 download the base and the development image for instance, and skip the games 
 and the localization disk.

 So I see 5 images, and maybe one or two are not completely full, but at least 
 everything will be included.  WDYT?

I am convinced that this is the good way, giving more to people so
that they give back more to us. Unfortunately this model has not been
proven yet, and people are more easily convinced that given a less
complete download version could lead to more financial streams tower
other costing product.

A compromise would be to give those 2 base ISOs for free and let club

If mandrake moved more strongly to a subscription service, then maybe releases

On a system with both a SCSI CDROM and an IDE CD writer, the update over the network 
near the end of the install kept asking for CD 1 from the SCSI CDROM but was 
unsatisfied no matter which CD was loaded with CD 1.  I finally clicked Cancel.  The 
update proceeded ok, but when the system booted up, the Software Sources tool only 
had CD 2 and CD 3 registered.  CD 1 had been deleted.  Also,  CD 2 and CD 3 were 
reading from the IDE CD writer (/mnt/cdrom) rather than the SCSI CDROM used for the 
installation (/mnt/cdrom2).  Presumably the identities of the CD drives gets switched. 
 
At the beginning of the install, the SCSI CDROM was selected as the install drive. 
Everything seemed ok until I chose to update packages over the net.

I have proposed previously on this list a way to warn Cooker testers

Can't we come up with a method of flagging new updates which are known

Ok, I installed both libcss0 and libdvdcss2 from plf last night. 
Both Totem and Xine still crashed, although they retreived the keys for the various 
VOB's. 
This morning when I booted the laptop up, the film plays flawlessly in both players, 
and even 
dvd menu navigation works... go figure.

upgrade your xine packages to 1-0.rc1.0plf and deinstall libdvdcss2. It it still

 A long time ago, X used to fall back to running a configuration tool.

 I have proposed previously on this list a way to warn Cooker testers
 when something is broken (because it is a work in progress) - but there
 was no warning.

If you read the changelog, it doesn't seem that it was a work in
progress, but a mistake:

Frederic Lepied [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3.1.3-80mdk

- - rebuild for rewriting /etc/pam.d file

 Can't we come up with a method of flagging new updates which are known
 to break something until the other components are available?  This would
 save a bunch of time and frustration!

Well, someone has to know it is broken, it seems you were among the
first to find out.

rpm is working fine, libpython2.3.so.0.0 is not the same as libpython2.2.so.0.0,
so the behaviour of not installing the package is correct. The package has to be
rebuilt against python 2.3 if possible.

I know that there's no libpython2.2 package anymore, as python 2.2 has been
replaced by python 2.3. You could install vegastrike on your machine if
libpython2.2 was still there, but it wouldn't work as python 2.2 and 2.3 aren't
compatible. You might think a simple rebuild of vegastrike would fix this, but
there's an error, so vegastrike must be ported to python 2.3 first.

 It just fried the second cdrom drive also (LG CRD-8400B)
 
 I realized that the new mandrake just cost me to CDROM drives.
 I couldn't believe it.

  Obviously, in order to make everybody happy, the number of images needs

  development stuff, and then international/localizations packages.  That
  way I would not be forced to download four big images to get what I want,
  I could just download the base and the development image for instance,
  and skip the games and the localization disk.
 
  So I see 5 images, and maybe one or two are not completely full, but at
  least everything will be included.  WDYT?

 I am convinced that this is the good way, giving more to people so
 that they give back more to us. Unfortunately this model has not been
 proven yet, and people are more easily convinced that given a less
 complete download version could lead to more financial streams tower
 other costing product.

 A compromise would be to give those 2 base ISOs for free and let club
 members have access to 3 more specific complementary ISOs.

I don't disagree with you, and I am not commenting on the revenue model used, 
just the distribution model.  If we skinny back the download edition to 2 
images and then provide the balance through the Club, I'd be for that.

 don't know. ask thomas ( tmb ) or bgmilne or danny

check  the readme for supermount
[kernel source]/Documentation/fs/supermount.txt
or
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=16857group_id=79609

example:
echo /dev/hdl disable release force   /proc/fs/supermount/subfs

from the
readme
--
devname [disable|enable] [release [force]]

`disable' will disable subfs (i.e. any futher attempt to mount is rejected).
Subfs must be unmounted; use `disable release' or `disable release force' to
unmount and disable at the same time.

`enable' will enable disabled subfs, it has no effect if subfs is already
enabled.

`release' will unmount subfs unless it is busy (opencount  0). To unmount
busy subfs add `force'; the effect is very much as if media change has been
detected (with the difference that subfs will be cleanly unmounted).

Some basic sanity checks are performed, i.e. it is impossible to specify
both `enable' and `disable' or `force' without
`release'.


could you send me the patch and i'll forward it to k3b's ml

I've bumped up the ramdisk up by launching installation CD this way:

expoert initrd=network.rdz ramdisk_size=128000 root=/dev/ram3  vga=788

But the ramdisk has still the same size (dmesg has shown 16 ramdisks of 128000
in size though...).

Nevertheless, this may be an other filesystem. I suspect root filesystem mounted
on /dev/root.old (and on rootfs). Here's what busybox shows:

# df -b
Filesystem   Size  Used Avail Use  Mounted on
/dev/hda1883508   230852   652656  26% /mnt
/dev/hda6   5132572  3831268  1301304  74% /mnt/usr
/dev/hda8  12706988 11892984   814004  93% /mnt/home
/dev/hdb1  39117040 33189264  5927776  84% /mnt/home/samba
/dev/hdc 711332   7113320 100% /tmp/image
/dev/ram3 2917327443 1730  94% /tmp/stage2
/dev/root.old  3932 39302  99% /
rootfs 3932 39302  99% /

Root filesystem is especially suspect. Consider the facts:
  1) directory /tmp exists there
  2) the errors on the 3rd console mention getting and saving hdlist1.cz file
  3) ls /tmp shows /tmp/hdlist.Installation CD1 (cdrom1).cz file among
others (other files are much smaller)
  4) du -s /tmp/hdlist.Installation CD1 (cdrom1).cz shows 3531 in size

It seems that the hdlists are copied there but the size of that filesystem
cannot accomodate even one hdlist file!

John Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:


[...]

 Yes; but who is responsible for this. 9.2 has been released with the inability 
 to create a boot floppy on a standard 1440 sized floppy.

Because of growing kernels, the need for drivers, and floppy
drives staying at 1.44 MBytes size for more than 10 years. We
can't do magic. We provide several ways of booting and rescueing
a machine (come on, one can boot the rescue by cdrom, hard-drive,
or network, that should be enough isn't it). I don't think other
Linux vendors do more magic than us. If they do, please tell me,
we could consider using the same magic than us.
 

[...]

 Yes; usually use the CD myself. But none the less this is really not 
 acceptable. 9.2 has too many stupid problems, from no screensavers in KDE, 
 broken urpmi, and now this. The list is just growing day by day.

Typical. As long as more people test it, we discover remaining
problems. May I remind you it's simply not possible to provide a
100% bug free software release? And please also consider the
(low) number of employees and contributors we have to make a
release.

 Try this script; it creates a 1680k formatted floppy.

If we want to go with larger floppies with 1.44 MBytes drives, we
need serious testing. I'm afraid this brings lots of hardware

Re: [Cooker] [IMPORTANT] 9.2 install potentially frying some LG cdrom drives

Hi,

Be carefull !
You misread my post : i'm saying UNTIL 9.1, i need to desactivate DMA
for my LG cdrom/burner model HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8240B.

I didn't test it already with 9.2 ...

So htis drive cannot be considered as 'safe' for 9.2.

Stef

Several people are reporting that installing the 9.2 totally
fried their LG cdrom drive. Luis Alves on cooker is reporting
that problem on an IBM PC 300 PL machine, with a LG CRD-8400B. On
MandrakeClub an article[1] reports that this happens on a Dell
Optiplex GX1 machine, with CRD-8482B and CRD-8400B models.

I've had confirmations that with another LG model, the HL-DT-ST
CD-ROM GCR-8520B, 9.2 worked nice (e.g. did NOT do any damage to
the cdrom drive). Also, with the HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8522B,
9.2rc2 worked nice (it's then -probable- 9.2 will work nice).

For the moment, it seems it's related to LG CRD-84xx drives.

Please, every people with an LG model who already installed 9.2
(download or powerpack), please report the model of your LG
drive, and whether it's still alive or not :). Please ask that
also to your friends who don't read cooker/expert lists. Also, in
the following days, one might consider not installing 9.2 with LG
drives, until we can provide a workaround to the problem.

You can have exact model name of your cdrom by looking at the
corresponding proc file. For example, if your CDROM is the first
IDE medium of your second IDE adapter, its name is hdc and you
can do the following to see the model:

cat /proc/ide/hdc/model

You can even do that at the very beginning of the graphical
install, by going to the second console (Ctrl Alt F2) and typing
the previous command. This should be safe as the fry always
occurs at the beginning of the package installation. Then, reboot
your computer.

Thanks!

BTW, shouldn't those files be copied to newly mounted ramdisk on /tmp/stage2?
Installation ramdisk could be bumped up a couple megabytes (e.g to 48000).

Or maybe even ramdisk size could be autodetected on boot and dynamically scaled
as in Knoppix (with some minimum size around 48000 for lowmem machines and
maximum around 128000 for normalmem machines)?

included XYZ-3.3 which was just released and has so much nice bugfixes

Yes, but even until 9.1, you didn't fry the drive did you?

DMA is not supported on the CRD-8400B, it is in the kernel nodma blacklist

I assume this drive is still in the blacklist, although since klama is

Also, it might be worthwhile to check if these guys did do a firmware

The bug can also be seen with kcalc, by setting colours for the buttons (if this

you will see the buttons have a background colour assigned correctly, but the
Galaxy theme then paints over them.

kallsyms is additional 10%-20% let's say 120-240k 
(in my test with 22.10mdk i think it was the second number)

and i think one can live without kallsyms, but acpi is needed for some
systems

as there were no such complains (except the xfs case) 
in mdk 9.1 i assume that if kallsyms is disabled,
one will be able to produce a boot floppy and the 
regular user wont loose too much by running a kernel
without kallsyms

you could adjust the create_configs script to activate it
in case a %debug kernel is built,if something needs debuging

[Cooker] [Bug 6206] [Installation] New: boot loader does not install correctly for 9.2 rc2 on Dell notebook

2003-10-22 Thread [ukpnj01]

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6206

   Product: Installation
 Component: Installation
   Summary: boot loader does not install correctly for 9.2 rc2 on
Dell notebook
   Product: Installation
   Version: 1.847
  Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P2
 Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Attempting to upgrade a previous version of Mandrake Linux (8.2) appeared to 
all work correctly until I attempted to reboot when I go the LI of LILO and 
then the PC do no more.

The PC is a Dell Latitude CPxJ notebook (750 MHz Pentium, 20G IBM hard drive, 
in or out of docking station)

Windows 2000 is installed an there is another Windows NTFS partition on the 
disk. Linux installed to /dev/hda6 and booted OK with the LILO from the 8.2 
distribution.

Using the 9.2 installation CD and pressing F1 and using the rescue option 
allowed me to reinstall the Windows boot. Attempting to reload the Linux boot 
loader failed.

I repeated the latter using the 9.1 installation CD with the same effect.  
After a screenful of errors I end up with


About to re-install Boot Loader for the following Mandrake Distro
Mandrake Linux Release 9.2(Torrent) for i586
..
Fatal: raid_setup: stat(/dev/hda6)

To the extent described above, the problem is reproducible. I had been 
successfully running with Mandrake 8.2 and this was an upgrade not a new 
installation.

Please email me if you require further information

Many thanks

Phil Johnson

   You misread my post : i'm saying UNTIL 9.1, i need to desactivate DMA
   for my LG cdrom/burner  model HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8240B.
   
   I didn't test it already with 9.2 ...
  Yes, but even until 9.1, you didn't fry the drive did you?
 
 No, you're correct.
 
  DMA is not supported on the CRD-8400B, it is in the kernel nodma blacklist 
  (drive_list_entry drive_blacklist). IIRC during the first 2.4.x kernels it 
  was not in the list, and people got dma errors, but no drive damage at 
  all. I think you can only turn on dma on this drive with hdparm -d1 -X34 
  /dev/hd?
 
 I did a fresh install for 8.1 and 9.0 (disk failure for the second
 -backups are my friends-) and DMA was activated on my drive, causing it
 to dma_errors 'DriveSeek Error ... blabla'.
 
 I had to manually disable it by adding a line in /etc/sysconfig/hardhdc
 telling explicitly DMA to be turned off.
 
 Are you sure it is blacklisted ?

CRD-8400B is blacklisted, your drive is not. But it works in 9.1/9.2 with 
DMA? If not I can make a patch in next kernel-mm and you can try if it 
works for you.

I am very doubtful if the fried drives have anything to do with dma.

It works with 9.1 and previous but WITHOUT DMA. I cannot test for 9.2
(production machine, uptime is important). Feel free for the patch,
although i would not be able to test it on the machine. May be someone
else ?

 I am very doubtful if the fried drives have anything to do with dma.

I hope it could help ...

[Cooker] Removing power from Dell laptop locks sysem

2003-10-22 Thread Jaimon Jose

Hi,
I upgraded my Dell latitude C640 laptop to 9.2.  I was running 9.1 all
along without any problem ( except suspend with X ).  Now, system locks
up if I remove power and I have to switch off and restart.  I searched
the bug data base but couldn't find anything similar there.  Any idea or
pointers will be helpful.

thanks,

naw this is not mandrake i have tried a few other torrents also and I am 
almost always dowloading at about 2-6k max when my upload is at 25k this goes 
on for days and weeks before I get the whole thing. Sometimes it jumps up to 
25k down and up. At those times I know somebody is being nice out there.

Re: [Cooker] 9.2 cannot produce a floppy boot disk.

Previously I posted a mkbootdisk that used the 1680K format for floppys; and 
with that you can indeed make a boot disk, and boot from it.

[Cooker] Mandrake uses Photoshop... What a pity!

2003-10-22 Thread Pierre Jarillon


Mount  MandrakeLinux-9.2-17-Download-1.i586.iso
And look at:   doc/install/images/LMDK.jpg  
You don't see anything wrong ?  No, of course.
But now try this:

$ strings /mount-point-of-mdk9.2-CD1/doc/install/images/LMDK.jpg | head -2
JFIF
Photoshop 3.0

 Won't that break something else?
