Just a note on stability, I get and install the latest cooker weekly, (or
more), just cause I love alpha/beta testing. So far cooker is more stable than
i have ever seen any windoez anything  keep up the awesome work... and if
i do find something weird ill email about it, as long as the bug dosent kill my

Is this new glibc the 2.1.3 version your talking about or later?

Re: [Cooker] Erratic Intellimouse Optical Behavior

[Scott Balmos]

sorry... Realized that a couple days ago after I intially sent the
message, just never got around to writing a response. LOL

It's running off of the PS/2 port, is the Intellimouse Explorer (the more
expensive one), and I'm running X 4.0...

If you think it might possibly work better on the USB port for whatever
reason, I can switch it over at my next reboot Saturday night.

Thanks for the insight!

[Franco Silvestro]

Big problems on biproc here at University... it worked ok with cooker with
kernel-smp-2.2.16-8 ... I'd a bad idea-> reinstalling with last cooker : 
Kernel panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 08:05
with
Kmod : failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno = 2
Many tries also reinstalling with ftp from sunsite... same thing.
I tried 7.1 distribution and with kernel-smp-2.2.15-4 all worked, but another
bad idea :  Mandrake Update with upgrade all : with kernel 2.2.16-9 same thing :
/lib/aic7xxx.o

You need to grab the JDK from blackdown also! You may
find rpms at rpmfind.net, but the latest will be in
tarballs. The tarballs install ok; I prefer to install
tarball based sw in "/usr/local", so I can tell later.

You can also use JBuilder under Linux (after you
install the JDK, he he); I thin it is available for
free. Good luck.

Hi,

mput works well between the 2 MDK-boxes,

mget * gets following errors:
 mget: Access failed: 550 May 4 09:58 xsane-0.57-2mdk.i586.rpm: No

get xsane-0.57-2mdk.i586.rpm
492924 bytes transferred  <- works as expected

mirror -cenpv
Retrieving remote file 'May  4 09:58 xsane-0.57-2mdk.i586.rpm'
-> ls shows:May  4 09:58 xsane-0.57-2mdk.i586.rpm

What is wrong here ?

Thanks for any hints

[Cooker] IDE patches unstable?

[Guy T. Rice]

I installed Mandrake 7.1 on several computers at work and everything
worked flawlessly.  However, I installed it on my home computer, and
discovered a bug.  My primary HD remains readable, but my second HD
(slave drive on the same IDE bus) becomes unreadable.  Actually, it
appears to read, but sometimes a single bit will be set that shouldn't
be.  It's about a one in a million chance, but one bit in a million
means attempting to gunzip any file over 125K usually results in an
error, only extremely small RPMs can be installed, etc.

I have an identical copy of a particular large file on my primary and
secondary HD.  If I compare the two (with "cmp"), it reports a difference
at a particular byte, and continues to report it at that byte.  But if I
reboot, it reports the first difference at a different byte.  (Perhaps
caching accounts for this -- rebooting clears the cache and read errors
are more or less random.)

This probably did not occur in 7.0.  It also disappears if I switch to
kernel-linus.  It reappears if I switch back to the standard kernel
(either the one off the final 7.1 CD or the new one in updates).  From
this I surmise the problem is caused by one of the kernel patches that
was added between 7.0 and 7.1.

Here's a bit of hardware info, let me know if you want anything else:

Excerpt from dmesg (booting under kernel-2.2.16-9mdk):

(hdb is the one that reads incorrectly.)

I suspect it's comparing the text from "ls" to verify who owns what files,
but that cuts off longer usernames.  It could just compare the first 8
characters, but that's insecure.  It should use "ls -n" which will give
the numeric UID/GID instead, which is the only way to do this securely.

For what it's worth, my Intellimouse Optical did not work at all under
Windows on the USB port at first.  (But it did work flawlessly under
Linux.  What is Microsoft thinking?)  I fixed the problem by going to
Upgrade Driver, and when it told me I was already using the best available
one, I told it to list the other possibilities, and selected the next
older driver.  It's worked flawlessly under both OS's ever since.

I can't imagine a USB device destroying a motherboard, even if it was
shorting out or something -- they just don't draw _that_ much power, do
they?  Then again, I'm not silly enough to use anything less than a
300W power supply -- I have a tendency to actually fill all my slots
with assorted dodads (including home-made ISA cards, and I've shorted
them out and never had anything worse happen than my computer reboot --
that's what I get for playing with the wires while the power's on --
serriously, this isn't usually a problem except for really cheap mobos,
if you buy cheap enough components, they'll burn out if you look at
them wrong).  Even if you had a bad mouse, if it blew out your mobo,
I'm thinking the mobo wasn't that great to begin with...

Re: [Cooker] Erratic Intellimouse Optical Behavior

[Guy T. Rice]

Scott, you didn't mention whether you were using PS/2 or USB.  For what
it's worth, my Intellimouse Optical works flawlessly.  But (1) it's a
different mouse (your subject line says Intellimouse Optical but your
message said Intellimouse Explorer.  What's the difference?  About $20.
And the Intellimouse Optical is symetrical, i.e. it works right handed
or left handed equally well, whereas the Intellimouse Explorer is
sculpted asymetrically IIRC), and (2) I'm using XFree86 3.3.6.  Also,
I do use it on the USB port.

I thought so a long time my self.  The contents are now in the "file"
contents.cpio.  If you press enter while over that "file", you'll see the

Don't know why they did that.

Okay, I haven't tried it, but I actually don't like changing the language of
a program, so I created a small reg exp that extracts the byte number
printed by wget.

Assuming that line with filesize is something like

Länge: 123,456 (unmaßgeblich)

or

Länge: 654,321 [application/x-rpm]

or

Length: 987.654.321 (whatever)

this statement will return the byte size, if the line is stored in $line:

echo $line | perl -pe 'use locale;s?^\w+:\s([\d,.]+)\s[[(][\w/-]+[])]$?$+?'

This thingy works if the line begins with a number of word characters (like
a,b,c,Ä,Ö,Ü,ç ...) followed by a colon (:) followed by a white space
character, followed by any number of digit characters or comma (,) or dot
(.) followed again by a whitespace which is followed by either ( or [ which
must be followed by a number of word chars or / or - and must be ended by
either ] or ).  It will then return the last matching braced term, which is
the number of bytes.

Don't know how you'd integrate that in grpmi.pm, but I bet that there's a
way :]  Oh, and if you don't use "use locale", \w would not match "special"
characters like ä,ö,ü,ç.

Although WGET="LANGUAGE=C wget" also works (tried it now), I still like my
solution more :]

[Cooker] 7.1 sparc install loses time

[T Korte]

I have installed the above on an Ultra 1 Creator and I've found that it does
not keep track of the time when the system is turned off.  In other words, if I
have the machine turned off then it comes back up with the same date and time
as when I turned it off.  While booting up it gives me the message that it's
setting the clock and I was wondering if that's causing it to revert to a time
that it had stored while powering off.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

It seems that rpm -F fails if you order it to upgrade an existing rpm which is highly

[Cooker] Auto Install Floppy

[Patrick Poncet]

Hey guys!

Is there a way to generate an auto-install floppy after
having installed Mdk 7.1... Meaning, at install time I did
not generate an auto install floppy.  I would like to
re-install my machine but don't feel like re-selecting
individual packages.  That's why I'd like to build an Auto
install disk.

Any way to do that???

Thanks for the tips.

Re: [Cooker] Need Info on JAVA IDE under Mandrake

[Serge Lussier]

> [...]

Hi,
I went to the link mentioned below.
I grabbed Forte4j ( Linux rpm version ).
It installed find but as I expected, it can't run complaining
it can't find the JDK installation.
So, I made "slocate java" and found some java tools in /usr/bin.
I tried javac on a .java src example from forte4j.
My questions:
 - Where the hell are the JDK stuff in this Mandrake distrib ???
 - Why I always have troubles running java stuff -
I mean running some java IDE's who cannot find any env setup.
 -  Do I have to download and install a new JDK from scratch from sun site
??
 - I wonder why all the apps which use java ( netscape, linuxconf, webmin
etc... ) have all
   their env setup ok, but I cannot use /usr/bin/javac normally
   ( it compile, but can't find other java classes )...

Have to say - I don't know java stuff. I need to learn. I don;t want to
reboot to win98
to learn java because I do have a GUI buggy jbuilder (Borland).
I want to do it under my loved Linux env.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi,

in the past always when I got new RPM's I just made a "rpm -Fv *" from
the location
of the new RPM's to scan for new packages and make the update
after the successful update, the result was displayed.
But now I think since one of the last rpm-3.0-*-updates
I only get a lot of messages like this:

package gnome-core-1.2.1-6mdk  is already installed

-> I never got this befor (when nothing needs to be updated - the result
was a blank line)

I also get a lot of other garbage messages about courious conflicts
but no action takes place !


I know there was a lot changes in rpm
but I don't know if this is a bug ?
or should I specify another cmd (options for rpm) now for update all ?

mc no longer shows the guts of RPM files in 7.1 yet it does in 7.0. 
Does anyone know why and how I can fix this?  I *need* to be able to
navigate RPMs like I used to be able to.  Is there something I need
to insert in ~/.mc/ini or something?

I tried to find some differences between mc-4.5.51 and mc-4.5.42 in
regards to handling RPMs and I can't spot anything.  I'm sure this
was asked a while back, but I can't find an answer, and I forget
which ml was discussing it.

Where's the difference (haven't yet looked at it)?  Did you simply change 
the wget definition to

$WGET="LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C wget --passive-ftp"

Or did you do any other changes?

This is the package MandrakeUpdate, isn't it?

LC_ALL=C will "unlocalize" strings get from the standard libc functions
(time format, number formats, etc); for actual translations done trough
gettext you alos need LANGUAGE=C

In other words, all automatic scripts must define

LC_ALL=C
LANGUAGE=C

any time they need to ensure a known state when running an external program
and reading back its output.

Note also that if such script interacts in some way with the user (printing
messages to him etc) it must not be completly unlocalized, so not

export LC_ALL=C
export LANGUAGE=C

but rather some

.
  system("LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C foobar parameters");



Note also that even if the output is just numeric the "unlocalization" must
be done too; some locales may format numeric output differently (well, 
currently that isn't really very used; but with the outcome of glibc 2.2
it will finally happen)

OK, my previous mail didn't arrive (bad reply-to field) so here it is: there
are TWO resolver man pages, one in section 3 which documents the API and one in
section 5 which documents the resolv.conf file format.

As for me section 3 has priority over section 5, I stumbled on the "real"
resolver man page. IMHO the resolver(5) manpage should not be linked to
resolv.conf but renamed to it.

Did you try "man resolver"? If so, you would have discovered that it is

Huh, the resolver manpage is not about the format of resolv.conf file at all...

As there is no relationship between this manpage and the resolv.conf file, I'm
against that symlink (which should be a link anyway, because they're in the
same directory). And moreover, as this manpage describes the resolver API, it
should be in section 3 IMHO.

  I remember that being mentioned in here about a week ago, it's SSL Apache
producing errors due to some permissions problems. The solution was to:

chmod 0755 /home/httpd/html 
chmod 0755 /var/log/httpd 
and then restart Apache. 
You may want to do the same for /home/ftp

I experienced *exactly* the same problem on a 7.1 (intel) ssl_engine_log and error_log

I still can't figure out which service/application is the source of the problem.

Read http://www.proftpd.org/proftpd-l-archive/00-07/msg00060.html for an
answer about it. I hope the mandrake rpm will follow soon (will it be in
the update directory for MandrakeUpdate to catch it ?).

no need since the descriptions are ''injected'' in the binary rpm.

read /usr/doc/menu*/menu.txt from the menu package.

[Cooker] How to install GRUB After

[Neville Cobb]

I just did a complete reinstall of cooker 526 (hd.img) using customised
install and must have missed the point where I could select lilo or
grub, as it installed lilo. Can you reinstall GRUB after an install that
installs lilo. I have tried using DrakConfig but cant do it.

Can it be done and can anyone point me in the right direction - or do I
need to do a comlete reinstall.

[Cooker] Install Manual, all Graphics are Black

[Neville Cobb]

I have just installed 526 from hard drive image and I went with a
customised install (middle selection anyway). All went well but when I
opened the install manual in Kfm all the graphics are black but they
appear fine when using Netscape. Not sure why or what has happened.
