[Cooker] Ssamba on Alpha Fix proposal
Hi, Recently quota support for samba has been enabled, this caused the samba compilation to cease on my alpha: Compiling smbd/quotas.c smbd/quotas.c:55: parse error before `quotactl' smbd/quotas.c:55: warning: data definition has no type or storage class make: *** [smbd/quotas.o] Error 1 Bad exit status from /users/cooker/tmp/rpm-tmp.54760 (%build) I remember having this problem with quota support on samba for some time (back to the 2.0.0 days).

[Cooker] MandrakeUpdate/grpmi problems
I have the latest grpmi and MandrakeUpdate installed but am seeing a couple of weird issues. First of all, I have seen in the recent changelog for MandrakeUpdate that userhelper is supposed to be used instead of kdesu. Mine still brings up kdesu. Any idea why? Second, MandrakeUpdate/grpmi doesn't deal properly with files in /var/cache/grpmi. If the RPM that is going to be updated to exists there already, grpmi assumes it was a previously aborted transfer and tries to do an ftp "restart" on it where it left off. That is fine. Actually that is good. Good work. The problem is that if the file is all there, the ftp server returns no more data for it (this should be interpreted "success") and closes the data connection properly. Still good. However, grpmi at that point thinks that the retrieval failed for some reason and prompts that there was an error. It didn't. It's all there. It should go on to the next task. More of an RFE, it would be nice if grpmi were more friendly when it does find problems. The prompts it does give you don't give you much choice. If a conflict is found you can either Force it or Skip the whole batch of updates. Skipping just the current package would be nice. There are others but I will leave it at that for now. b. -- Brian J. Murrell InterLinx Support Services, Inc.

Re: [Cooker] A thought on 7.2 ad. infinitum
Oh - is a beta considered released? Yeah, by default it looks like windows I guess, but if you look at my windowmaker desktop you wouldn't call it windows looking. Mandrake gives windows look and feel to people who need it to make use of linux, but linux (and a lot of it) is still there for those who know what they want and how to get it. I hear people complain all the time about bloat in Mandrake that it's becoming windows - what a load of crap. It all comes down to the same as any other distro - it's all in how you choose to install it. I can have nearly the same system with Mandrake as any slackware or debian, or redhat, or turbolinux etc... It's in how I set it up. Powerusers normally don't stick with default configuration no matter what distro they use, we end up reconfiguring everything the way we want it in the end. People looking for ease of use will appreciate what Mandrakes done with install and KDE2, while people looking for old fashion linux power know how to get it out of Mandrake anyway. root wrote: Tom Brinkman wrote: Honda civics are for people who can't use 1970 Chevy's with 454 big blocks, blowers and keep dual Carbs tuned.

Re: [Cooker] How to replace Stock Mandrake Kernel With Custom KernelAfter Install
Nigel, Next, I ran /sbin/lilo and gota warning: 'scd1 is not the first hard disk on the system'. This seems to me like your lilo.conf specified boot=/dev/scd1, a SCSI CD-ROM drive. If it is your first SCSI hard disk, it should be /dev/sda for lilo to put the boot stuff in the MBR of the first SCSI disk. By the way, check out man mkinitrd for handling modules that are needed at boot.

So here's how I did it: Install an IDE drive (borrowed from work) Boot Win2K, copy Mandrake CD's to partition on IDE drive Make boot disk from hd.img boot, and install to IDE drive using install files from IDE drive. Set IDE drive as the master Boot Linux Patch Stock Kernel, config and install.

Why would lilo say that the HD it was installing to was not the first HD in the system when it is the **ONLY** HD in the system?? It seems that it was close to working, but then one little /sbin/lilo has buggered it up again...

[Cooker] Aurora, rc.sysinit Matrox Millennium 8MB
This appears to be a bug, although I can't understand why everyone doesn't get stopped by it: When I boot, Aurora shows a menu on the left side and then stops with no way to interact with it. Looking at the output on console 12 indicates that it started Aurora before root was remounted as rw. It finally stops when trying to start the system logger. My Matrox Millennium system supports frame buffering (/proc/fb is present and contains "0 MATROX VGA"), but as I look through the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script, I see that the following section is starting Aurora even when root has not yet been remounted rw: Snippet from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (commented if was added by me to work around the problem and get booted): # If the partition where Monitor resides is mounted, we are able to # start Aurora at this point. Otherwise, we'l have to wait until it is # mounted... if [ -n "$aurora" ] ; then # if [ "$(grep -s /root\\\ /proc/mounts | grep -c \\\ rw\\\ )" == "1" ] ; then aurora_start # fi fi Is this problem related to the inability of the system to automatically figure out that I have 8 MB of VRAM on my Matrox card instead of 4 MB? The output on terminal 1 finishes with the lines: Mounting proc filesystem... Setting default font... Booting Aurora... The output on terminal 12 is the following: Init: Entering run level: 5 /etc/rc.d/rc: /var/run/runlevel.dir: Read-only file system Loading Harddrake . more expressions of unhappiness at the root filesystem being unreadable .

You can start gnome by editing your .xinitrc file (located in your home dir) If it does exist, then comment out whatever is in there and put one single line in there that says: exec gnome-session or if the file isn't there: cd echo "exec gnome-session" .xinitrc now startx Hope this helped /Björn
Re: [Cooker] A thought on 7.2 ad. infinitum
Graham Percival wrote: Millions of electrons died to bring me this message. Was it worth it, Warren Doney? This is a good idea, things that seem simple to us can baffle beginners. I recall, for instance, when asked to "specify the mount point of the root partition" I repeatedly tried "root" instead of "/" :o) Oh nostalgia - on my first Linux install (RH 5.2) I just hit keys until something happened. I'm a bit puzzled by all these cries for easier installs. OK, some hardware is not detected automatically (be it USB printers, ISA network cards, $400 mice, whatever). Better hardware detection is *always* being worked on. Complaining that Mandrake doesn't detect card X doesn't help the situation, unless you provide a really detailed bug report or code to do the detection. People who say Linux is hard to install generally have not tried installing Windows. Having installed Windows and Linux on a few different machines, I have found that Linux (and in particular Mandrake, crawl, crawl) is much better at detecting hardware. Another big complaint is the partitioning. But I don't think that there *is* an easy way to handle this, unless you assume that it's ok to wipe a HD. But partitioning an existing system is going to be complicated and varies depending on the computer, so no automatic system will be possible. Very true. We penguinistas suffer from having the tolerant attitude that a user may want to install more than one OS on their computer, and so provide helpful (if sometimes confusing) advice on the dark art of disk partitioning. Ever tried using Windows fdisk to run multiple OS's? I hope not. Apart from hardware support and partitioning, what newbie-unfriendliness is there? None. I bet it would be easy to get volunteers for this job, as it would be an excellent way to meet women :) *grin* I don't think so. At the risk of overgeneralisation, any woman who is prepared to install Linux is also familiar with system administration, C++ and all the the rest. Robin
