Ok this means arch is unknown for rpm itself, I
look more precisely for that.
Yes, it is badly declared in /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc
where you have :
buildarchtranslate: athlon: i586
instead of i686, can you test it should work if you
edit it to i686.
Could we have this fixed in the rpm package? As has
been pointed out in the past, anyone creating packages
for Mandrake or for distribution would have their own
.rpmrc to translate to i586, for the system one it
should compile for the system.

It looks your code does that, and runs draksound if
you click it. I'm not sure what the isa_sound_card
stuff does. Just running draksound is really cool
there though.
What'd be even cooler is the ability to Test (this is
probably post-9.0 fodder). Some way you could see you
have OSS and ALSA choices, and you can click here and
it'll load the OSS module, play some sound, unload the
module, then click here and load the 100 ALSA modules,
play some sound, unload them, and pick which one you
like. Shouldn't be too hard, I guess the biggest
issue would be getting sound playing ability into

I did a bit...looking at messages after booting, I see: Sep 17 08:45:15 mccarthy ypbind: ypbind startup succeeded Sep 17 08:45:15 mccarthy ypbind[977]: Unable to register (YPBINDPROG, YPBINDVERS , udp). then later: Sep 17 08:45:07 mccarthy network: Setting network parameters: succeeded Sep 17 08:45:07 mccarthy network: Bringing up loopback interface: succeeded Sep 17 08:45:07 mccarthy ifup: Determining IP information for eth0... and: Sep 17 08:45:13 mccarthy dhcpcd[890]: dhcpConfig: ioctl SIOCADDRT: File exists Sep 17 08:45:13 mccarthy ifup: done. Sep 17 08:45:14 mccarthy network: Bringing up interface eth0: succeeded I think you get the idea. rc5.d shows an S10network, and an S17ypbind, but from the log, it looks like ypbind is getting started before network. Possible initscripts problem? Looking into it further, it *appears* that running concurrently with rc.sysinit are some of the startup scripts in rc5.d, like usb, gpm, and ypbind, but network is going later than all of these. --- David Walser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Fresh installation.

Re: [Cooker] ypbind fails on boot w/out portmap (portmap description problem)
--- Quel Qun [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I answered your message asking a question: Do you have portmap service enabled? # chkconfig --list portmap should show it on. Nope, that fixed it. Thanks Quel!!! Now...! Could the description in /etc/init.d/portmap that says The portmap server must be running on machines which act as servers for protocols which make use of the RPC mechanism be fixed? If you're an NIS client, you're not an NFS or NIS server, so that description leads you to believe you don't need portmap. If you look at the time tags, you will see that the network is started at 08:45:14, and ypbind one second later. The fact that they show up in a different order in the syslog is a minor issue (buffering I would guess), but is not the cause of your problem. BOO! Stupid me :o( ypbind works fine here.

Re: [Cooker] autofs + NIS problem
--- Bryan Whitehead [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David Walser wrote: Problem: Even if you don't have nis in the automount: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf, automount uses NIS. This is standard behavior. (NIS on Solaris and other Unix's do this) They don't differentiate between NIS and NIS+? Well luckily NIS+ is going away then. This way one can have a nis server export an auto.master file so one doesn't have to modify every client machine on the network when a change to the auto.master file happens. Yeah I know how that works. If your nis server does not export an auto.master file then you won't have a problem. If it does, but you need a different auto.master file for your autofs on linux, then remove nis and nisplus from nsswitch.conf. Autofs will still work with nis/nisplus/yp maps but it will not autoload the auto.master from your nis server. Know that too. I'm just saying one shouldn't have to remove nisplus when all you have is nis. In case you're interested in the reason I need different maps on the Linux machines, it's because the NIS maps say to use cachefs for /home, which only works on the Solaris workstations. The Linux kernel people have considered implementing it in the past, but never did :o( This should not be changed, then nis on linux would be further different from other unix's.

[Cooker] Tons of printerdrake problems
First, without asking, it installs: libijs0, printer-filters, nc, foomatic, scli, gimpprint, printer-utils, and xpp, whether you need them or not. Also it does this in 3 (!) steps. It should wait until you've configured a printer, and only install the ones you need for it to work. Then, if you turn all the auto-detection off, and go to add a printer, it assumes it's a local printer, and doesn't give you the choice of it being a remote lpd printer or anything else. Finally, after adding a printer, going back and changing it to remote network printer, and trying the test page, I got lots of garbage. It's an HP LaserJet 4, which I selected. I probably should have just selected PostScript, but I remember older printerdrakes selecting postscript for you if you select a PS-capable printer. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Cooker] Athlon XP still recognized as i586 !
There's two issues here. 1) RPM still can't recognize athlon, so you have to buildarchtranslate i686 to athlon. 2) Mandrake still has incorrect buildarchtranslate lines in /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc and i686 is being translated to i586 instead of i686. --- Stéphane Teletchéa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I did some recompilation of src rpm (nvidia), and they are still compiled for i586 ...

For stability sake, wouldn't they want anybody rebuilding source rpm's to use the same compiler optimizations used to build the main distro. That is, unless, those people new what they were doing and made a /etc/rpmrc for or ~/.rpmrc with the desired overrides. It was actually changed by mistake, but that's been one of the excuses to defend it. If someone's gonna rebuild an SRPM, more than likely optimization one of the top reasons. Anyway, /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc is the *system* rpmrc, and so should build for the *system.* The only ones that should be building i586 are Mandrake's packagers, and anybody else distributing binaries, and those people are supposed to be building in their home directory with their own .rpmrc One possible solution I've thought of is maybe distribute our RPM package with a script that automates setting up a user RPM build environment, and when it creates the .rpmrc, has it change the buildarchtranslate lines to i586 like they are now (but shouldn't be for the system one). __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [Cooker] 9.0 - graphic mode non privilegied users
I have authentication with NIS and home directories with autofs + NFS working just fine (the only problem is a KDE trying to access /home/lmontel thing that Laurent has remained silent about). Neither of the files you attached are helpful, look at .xsession-errors in the homedir of the user trying to log in. --- Sebastien Paolacci [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello everybody, I made a full 9.0 install from a clean system with authentification via NIS and home directories are mounted from a NFS server. All seems great (even more than that), but my only problem is that I can't reach any graphical mode with a non root user. X start well (it seems for me), but after the blue wallpaper ... nothing (even not the KDE splashscreen). The mousse is still ok, everything work, but the graphic session will stay like this until I kill it. I use a similar (if not identical) config that the which for 8.2 where I didn't have this problem. Does anyone has the same problem, or an idea in order to help me to make it work ?

Re: [Cooker] kdemultimedia and TtMmidity++ conflict.
--- Ron Stodden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 9.0 kdemultimedia and TiMidity++ conflict. I notice that kdemultimedia installs /usr/bin/timidity, a 275.7 KB executable, and nothing in /usr/share. TiMidity++ tries to install /usr/bin/timidity and in /usr/share timidity, the man for timidity, and timidity.cfg Annoying isn't it? The fixes that need to be made are: kdemultimedia needs to not conflict with TiMidity++ kdemultimedia needs to not provide /usr/bin/timidity kdemultimedia's /usr/share/apps/kmidi/config/timidity.cfg needs to source /usr/share/timidity/midia.cfg and not those stupid piano/guitar ones TiMidity++'s /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg needs to have source midia.cfg uncommented at the bottom like it used to those things need to be done, then everything works. Other additional possibilities are: kdemultimedia requires TiMidity++ TiMidity++ requires timidity-instruments for everything in those packages to work, those things are required, but some people don't like putting Requires: on packages, so that's a tossup. __ Do you Yahoo!?

[Cooker] authconfig/drakauth
One of my friends just noticed something interesting. He missed the drop-down box for authentication during DrakX, so he needed to configure it in the installed system, but appears there's no equivalent Drak tool to do this. We should probably have that thing from DrakX available as drakauth with authconfig as a symlink to it (as RH users expect that, and we symlinked other such ones). __ Do you Yahoo!?
