 Not necessarily. If Helixcode want to overlay a set of their own

 supporting them.

Yes, but that was not my point. I just want to see better communications
between Mandrakesoft and other distributors. And I dont see the reason not
to work togeather and share information.

 On the other hand, Mandrake Cooker has the latest packages from
 Helixcode incorporated with very little delay - and the packages are
 fixed to work well with Mandrake Linux. Why not use them?

I want at least a partial stable system, since cooker went to gcc 2.96 I can't
run just a part of cooker and expect things to be stable since the binary
compability with older gcc is not ok.

That's why I dont use cooker, and people at Mandrakesoft told me something
like 'Cooker is not a place to pick upp apps'. 

 If Helixcode really want to support Mandrake users then there is nothing
 stopping them from getting the fixes from Mandrakes packages. Thats the
 beauty of open source software after all.

Ok, it not a big deal to 'steal' the solutions from Mandrakesoft. But I still
dont see why we shouldn't work with distributors like this and 'give' them 
the solution instead. It's hard to keep up with all the changes in how
things are supposed to work on a distro like Mandrake, and since they have
incorporated it into Mandrake already it shouldn't be too hard. And as 
Mandrake claims to be a freedom of choise I think it would be natural to 
work closer to others. 

I hope that this will come out of the joining of the KDE league and 
GNOME foundation. This is a great step in the right direction but I still
think that it's alot to be done.

No, what it does is check to see if DEADJOE exists first.  If it does,

[Cooker] More about HelixCode...

2000-11-22 Thread Mattias Eriksson

Hi

Another thing on the issu 'working with others' in this case (as often in my case) 
HelixCode is their new product RedCarpet.

I contacted them a few month ago and asked them what would be required to 
support distros like Mandrake. They then told me that it supports rpm's and
that they only needs some minor stuff, but they told me to ask Mandrake to 
contact them to work out the details. 

So, A few month ago I wrote to this list and was asking Mandrakesoft to 
support this effort. Now I just want to hear if any contact was made, and 
the out come of this?

I hope that everyone undrstands that this is not a suggestion to replace
MandrakeUpdate. It's a freedom of choise question, I would love to have 
the choice.

as keith answered it was a a bug in modutils-2.3.20. But when i'll
release kernel rpm, i'll put this changes files (writing it every day)
:

::Changes between 2.2.x kernel and 2.4::

alsa is merged into the kernel-??? (when ??? is -smp or normal or other
kernel package) as well as alsa-source is merged in kernel-source

kernel-headers doen't provide anymore a link to the source kernel but
the real headers file, we should recompile the glibc with the last
kernel-headers before releasing.

the configs files are now also located in /usr/src/linux/configs/ (i
hope one day to do autodetection of running kernel and set the .config
appropriate when building).

::Notes on kernel::

We use the pcmcia modules from the user space package (aka: pcmcia-cs)
and not from the kernel.

::Build options::

there is some macros you can define at the building process using
--define (like rpm --define 'kgcc 0' -ba kernel-2.4.spec):
 
 boot = it is a kernel we generate for the BOOT kernel ?
 kgcc = build with the kgcc compiler or not
 reiserfs = build with reiserfs support or not.

Now to build kernel rpm, we change only one config file the UP and
EnableOrDisable feature at the build process.

 Hi
 
 Another thing on the issu 'working with others' in this case (as often in my case) 
HelixCode is their new product RedCarpet.
 
 I contacted them a few month ago and asked them what would be required to 
 support distros like Mandrake. They then told me that it supports rpm's and
 that they only needs some minor stuff, but they told me to ask Mandrake to 
 contact them to work out the details. 
 
 So, A few month ago I wrote to this list and was asking Mandrakesoft to 
 support this effort. Now I just want to hear if any contact was made, and 
 the out come of this?

i think one guy at mdksoft currently look at that.

 I hope that everyone undrstands that this is not a suggestion to replace
 MandrakeUpdate. It's a freedom of choise question, I would love to have

[Cooker] Remote Printing

2000-11-22 Thread Ron Stodden

Till,

I have cups-1.1.4-5.1 installed on Mandrake 7.2 from MandrakeUpdates.

Try as I may, I cannot get remote printing to show any sign of
working.   I give up.

I have two PCs on a LAN, called big and small, with big having a HP
Deskjet 970Cxi installed by cups.  

Cups is installed on both machines, daemons running.

Cups must be the most stupid-bug-ridden and unresponsive (errors
suppressed) software I have ever encountered in my 36 years in this
field.For example, why when I try to set up a new remote printer
on my non-printer machine does it instead create a non-existent
remote printer on my printer-equipped machine?

Please tell me step by step on my small machine how to get cups to
print on the printer attached to the big machine.  This simple and
obvious subject is NOT covered in either of the manuals, would you
believe?

Step by step, simply, please.  Every action.

This question doesn't actually sound Mandrake-specific, let alone
Cooker-specific, so probably belongs on a different list.

In order to have a ghost of a chance of untangling your question, prospective
helpers will need to know things like:

What mail client and server (MTA) software are you using?
e.g. kmail and postfix
How is each machine configured? Mention:
* domain/host names
* MTA config files (e.g. /etc/postfix/master.conf)
* any other problems you're having in case they're relevent
Are there any error messages? Look in /var/log/maillog to see.
Is the problem just between these two machines? Does *any* email work?

...and so on...

Re: [Cooker] LM7.2 is very buggy here....

2000-11-22 Thread Pierre Fortin

I posted some initial problems the other day.  Let me say again that LM7.2 looks
great; but right now I'm very seriously contemplating going back to 7.1 where I
had total stability...

So far: $ uptime
 10:33pm  up 3 days, 10:24,  2 users,  load average: 0.03, 0.05, 0.69
during which I have experienced:
- the problems in my original post requiring a reboot
- several X Ctl+Alt+Bkspc restarts :
  - a complete keyboard hang (bugzilla #1530)
  - mouse clicks ignored (seems to be a race condition; still tracking)
  - rpmdrake CPU/memory hog while trying to install opensshd (#1533)
(memory usage was over 700MB for grpmi)
  - CD won't read data disks after audio disk played (#1534)
  - X hang; even killed networking requiring ifdown/ifup eth0 (#1538)

I've been using Linux for several years now and this is the worst situation I've
ever encountered.  LM7.2 is quickly approaching the reliability of Winblows.

I did a full ("100%") developer (X4.0.1, KDE2) install after formatting / and
/usr.

ldconfig: warning: /lib/libdl.so.1 appears to be for multiple libc's

From ld.so-1.9.11-7mdk. Running ldd on the file produces:

libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40021000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2000)

Note that ld-linux.so.2 comes from the glibc package and
ld-linux.so.1.9.11 comes from ld.so package as does libdl.so.1.9.11...
looks like a linking issue.

[Cooker] 7.2 observations

2000-11-22 Thread Mike Perry

Hi!

Just completed a mainly successful installation of 7.2.
The computer is as follows:
TX based board with CMI8330 onboard sound, IBM P200+  WesternDigital 6.4GB
UDMA2 on primary, Quantum Bigfoot 2GB mode4 + NoName 40speed CD-ROM
on Secondary, 3C509b NIC, ATI 2MB PCI video card.
Oh, and Winblows98SE on the WD :-(

1st problem: Doing a stock standard workstation install,  and after it
checked the size of the 
windows partition the screen that you have to ok the resize of the windows
partition
appeared, but frozen!
The computer was not completely frozen as numlock could be turned on and off
and
the mouse worked but no buttons on the screen responded, ctl/alt/del did
nothing, only
hardware reset :-(
I tried several times but same result, fiddled with Bios settings, still no
go.
In the end I did an expert install, manually resized the windows partition
and manually
allocated as I saw fit, and continued the installation in expert mode.
Worked fine.

2nd problem: The onboard CMI8330 was detected as CMI8338, and doesn't work.
I didn't have time to play around with it last night but will look at it
more closely this evening.

A question:
If you have more than one HDD could the auto allocate include the 2nd
drive?, perhaps
as an option?

An observation:
Initially I used Norton Speeddisk to de-fragment the drives prior to
installation.
For some unknown reason it put a few blocks of data right at the end of the
disk,
effectively making the disk appear full.
Running Winblows built in defrag moved this data back to the beginning of
the disk.

Cheers to all, and congrats on a very polished product!

I checked the KDE.org bug base and there are reports similar to this.
They are very old, though = pre 2.0.

Re: [Cooker] Installing on Alpha's

2000-11-22 Thread Stefan van der Eijk

 Is there anybody out there that has successfully installed Cooker
 or a 7.X version (beta or ?) on an Aplha.
Yes, I've installed LM 7.1 on my alpha, and I'm compiling cooker on the
machine at the moment. Most packages are compiling.

 I'm currently looking into replacing OSF/1 on an Aspen Durango 500 with Mandrake.
To be totally honest with you, I'd be carefull with switching over. If
you have a spare disk, install it on there, but don't replace OSF/1 at
the moment (or use RedHat -- they've released the alpha distro a few
times, 6.2 is the latest). The alpha mandrake is NOT supported by
Mandrake, and active development is carried out by a few people. Getting
issues solved might take some time...

But... I'm working on getting my alpha binaries distributed (someway)
and to create an alpha user community. The idea is to use Official
Mandrake src.rpm's, compile  install them on alpha boxen. Fix the
packages (if needed) without breaking other platform support (ix86, ppc
and sparc) and submitting the changes back to Mandrake. I personally
feel that the cooker development method works, and could be suitable for
this. The only bottleneck will be getting the fixes merged with cooker,
since the people at mandrake are extremely busy...
 
 I'd like to get some feedback before I go ahead with the install.
I'll try my best to help you, but I can't promise anything.

Stefan

PS: I'm not associated with Mandrake in any way...




[Cooker] Fwd: Re: GNOME, KDE and Mandrakesoft (fwd)

2000-11-22 Thread Christopher Molnar


For all of you who have a long weekend, here is something to play with - a 
QT2 and a KDE update: (Someone PLEASE let me know they where able to properly 
install):

I have made a KDE and QT2 (2.2.2) update available at the following locations:

http://www.nebsllc.com/KDE_UPDATE
ftp://nebsllc.com/pub/KDE_UPDATE
http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~molnarc/KDE_UPDATE
ftp://us.mandrakesoft.com/pub/kde/KDE_UPDATE
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/~molnarc/KDE_UPDATE

These updates are specific for 7.2 and folks use them at their own risk. The
code has been updated from KDE 2.0 and is now very close to the 2.0.1
release. (note the 0.1mdk in the version #'s).

kdevelop is NOT included, it may be later this evening if I get it to work. 
Please check back for that.

If people are using MandrakeUpdate to install these packages they MUST accept
an unsigned package. I am leaving unsigned to make sure everyone knows it is
NOT an official distribution. I am in the process of uploading SRPMS to the
directories as well.

For those in the U.S. - Have a Happy Thanksgiving and eat LOT's of turkey! 
Then on Friday, go shopping and remember Mandrake 7.2 makes a GREAT stocking 
stuffer :-)

Try this patch against modutils 2.3.20.  If it does not fix the problem

Other have not read the man.
As I have tested the new 2.4 kernel, and I wanted to be able

theese commands.

The man for modules.conf says:
