Re: [Cooker] Bug in XFree86 spec file
John Cavan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I noticed when building XFree86 3.3.6 the spec file shows the Freetype include directory as /usr/include when it is /usr/include/freetype. At least this is where the Air version of Freetype's devel package puts it. When the line is corrected in the spec, X will build properly, otherwise the font library bombs. I'm also still having a problem with the SVGA server for 3.3.6. When I use the Air binary version, everything is fine. When I compile the driver from 3dfx, everything is fine. But, when I rebuild the source RPM from Air, the X server (SVGA) refuses to read the modeline information in the XF86Config file, though it appears to read everything else correctly. For reference, it is built with the following command: rpm -bb --target k6 --clean --rmsource ... it's corrected in a srpm here, new version of XFree will coming soon on cooker. --Chmouel

[Cooker] no demand dialing ppp option
Having just upgraded my server to 7.0, and using the Joe Average configuration tools (linuxconf in this case) I am finding that there does not seem to be a way to set "demand dialing" ppp connection. Would this be true, or is the something I am missing in the PPP configuration (linuxconf) tool? It would seem even that the ifcfg-*/ifup scripts don't even have a way of passing the "demand" command to pppd. So is demand dialing unsupported by 7.0? b. -- Brian J.

[Cooker] Language settings play havoc with source RPMs
Took me a while to figure out why none of my source RPMs would install the language files... seems that the lang.sh in /etc/profile.d sets the environment for LINGUAS which is used during configuration to determine the langauge catalogs to install. Problem is, most default to english, so if your LINGUAS variable is set to "en", no language files are included, causing the rebuild to fail. I discovered this with gettext and gtk+ this morning. Solved it by unsetting LINGUAS for the root user for rebuilding the sources. John

[Cooker] kdebase and Mesa
This could be my own config problem, anyways, when compiling the kdebase-1.1.2-30mdk.src.rpm, the morph3d screensaver fails to build because it is unable to find the headers to Mesa which are installed in /usr/X11R6/include and not /usr/include. My immediate fix, for building purposes, was to symlink the GL include directories, but this should probably be added to the spec. Other GL screensavers are likely to have that problem. On the topic of screensavers, xscreensaver-3.18-3mdk.src.rpm had difficulties configuring until libGL.so.1.2.0 was symlinked to libGL.so (and too with the libGLU.so.3.1.2 library). It found the GL headers, but failed to pick up the library. Correct me if I am wrong, but should not ldconfig create the symlinks? John P.S. I hope nobody minds the compile bug reports. I'm building the source distributions for the K6 and so I'm finding these as I go through that process.
Re: [Cooker] Some K6 related problems
For linuxconf, I have libgd.so.1.7.3 which was installed with Air (I did a full, fresh install). Suggestions would be great! Will the egcs trick work for both ld.so and ldconfig? I haven't installed egcs, but that's simple enough to do... By the way, has anybody at Mandrake given consideration to a K6 optimized version? Heck, I have about 30% of Air's packages rebuilt already (not counting all your recent updates to cooker). I don't know how much of a difference it makes for most things, but Mesa can and will use the 3DNow features of the K6 if present, I get excellent frame rates for 3D code on my Voodoo3 card, better than with the i586 optimized versions. I really should build a K6 Mesa version without Glide and a version with Glide, just to have them available for friends.

I wasn't able to properly rebuild ld.so-1.9.5-13mdk even using i586 optimizations. My kernel is the stock 2.2.14 kernel (with IDE patches for ALI chipset) off the kernel mirrors, not the kernel shipped with Mandrake Air. I am using a K6 optimized GCC (built from source RPM), but it also fails with the stock GCC from Air. i'm suck, i really should spend more time on my package. --Chmouel

Re: [Cooker] Re: how are users supposed to get added to the audio group?
That's just it though. you can't "dumb down" the OS. but you sure as hell can make is accessible for those of us that just want to run some programs, do sys admin, etc. WITHOUT having to run / compile / create / hack any kind of code whatsoever...

Interesting argument about whether Linux will be able to attract Joe Bloe without going brain dead. Anybody remember ten years back when the big argument for M$ over Apple was that although it was more complicated to configure, you were better off 'cause it gave you more control in the end? If you want brain dead configuration, go Apple. If you want buggy configuration, go M$. If you want something that you can make work despite whatever is thrown at you, go Linux. The reality is that we have three different OS's for three different audiences. If Linux dumbs down, it's not going to blow M$ nor Apple out of the water. It's just going to lose the audience it has now as they migrate to OpenBSD to avoid another M$ or Apple...
[Cooker] Format for reporting bugs/requesting fixes??
Downloaded Mandrake 7.0 Air, installed it on two different machines here at home. I am running into some interesting bugs... What is the usual format for this kind of dialogue- do you guys need some system info, hardware config before i report what wrinkles i have been running into??? A relative newbie here; I have only been using Linux for just over a year. I started out with Red Hat 5.2, switched over to Mandrake (Venus) and had been using Helios until recently. So- where would you like me to start???

Axalon Bloodstone wrote: cooker - air = not supported oxygen - air = insane air - air = even more insane What is this about? I think I'm using Air, but the oxygen mandrake-release RPM was never updated. during the first few it was every hour, then 6hrs, I'm not sure off hand if it depends on the level in the one shipped with 7.0 if it doesn't it's set for 24hrs. Do you have both crond anacron installed :/ I do have them bothh installed, I had them both running, then I switched to anacron only, because I'm not sure if they are conflicting and causing jobs to run more than they should. No, I meant your first guess. msec doesn't do any firewall things, but it would be great if it did in a future version. I have been looking for a firewall setup tool that is easy to use. If I do it by hand I always end up blocking too much. still planed (yeah yeah, i know I'm a "lazy sob"), I'll do some digging and seee if i can avoid starting from scratch, again.. (I also tend to loose things ;) There is a tool called "Lokkit: Firewall Configuration For The Rest Of Us" by Alan Cox which is not meant to "configure arbitary firewalls", but "to make it simple to understand it is solely designed to handle typical dialup user and cable modem setups." This is a newt/slang based tool, (isn't there a gnome-newt or gtk-newt frontend?), and the description sounds good, but I get some errors running it, and it doesn't allow some services that I need. -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Cooker] AIR - ISO not bootable?

[Cooker] qt-1.44 spec still requires Lesstif
Fails the build dependency though the qxt stuff is commented out and the changelog notes the lack of lesstif in the Mandrake distro. John P.S. Why isn't lesstif included?
[Cooker] qt2 has a forced buildarch
The qt2 source RPM forces a build architecture of i586 or alpha. K6 can safely be added to this... :o) John
