[Cooker] New Xtheater and avifile packages
The first will soon be removed from contrib, and the second can't be included, both for patent and licensing issues. I'll try nevertheless to maintain both, and you'll can find latest versions on Penguin Liberation Front ftp site ftp://durruti.univ-reunion.fr/pub/distributions/plf New updated versions are already available. Enjoy ! -- Guillaume Rousse Murphy's law : If anything can go wrong, it will. O'Tool's commentary : Murphy was an optimist.
[Cooker] procmail is hanging
Hi! I upgraded postfix from pl08 to the current pl13 and procmail to the lastest in cooker. Now when I get a new mail, procmail doesn't exit any more. It just goes up to the top of the process list in 'top' and does something very cpu intensive, or so it seems, as it stays at the top and always gets cpu time. What's wrong? I tried removing my .procmailrc, but this did not help. 100 0 360 1 0 0 2128 820 do_sel S ? 0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master 100 102 362 360 0 0 2152 856 do_sel S ? 0:00 pickup -l -t fifo 100 102 363 360 0 0 2296 992 do_sel S ? 0:00 qmgr -l -t fifo -u 100 102 741 360 0 0 3492 2388 do_sel S ? 0:00 local -t unix 100 501 844 741 10 0 1768 824 - R ? 7:57 /usr/bin/procmail -a teich.garten.digitalprojects.com -d askwar Alexander Skwar -- How to quote: http://learn.to/quote (german) http://quote.6x.to (english) Homepage: http://www.digitalprojects.com | http://www.iso-top.de iso-top.de - Die guenstige Art an Linux Distributionen zu kommen Uptime: 2 days 18 hours 46 minutes
Re: [Cooker] cdrecord and Mandrake iso image
Ed Wilts wrote: [root@linux1 iso]# cdrecord -blank=fast -speed=4 -dev=0,0 Mandrake72-ext.iso What an odd command line! As far as I know, in one cdrecord run you can either blank a disk OR write data on to it, not both in the one command. Although man cdrecord appears to permit it, I have never tried it. The data probably does not fit because the disk has not been pre-blanked. Check your man cdrecord: dev and speed and blank do NOT have a hyphen. Always inclde a -v if you want help. -- Regards, Ron.

[Cooker] cdrecord problems
I don't know if this is a Cooker issue, a kernel issue, a cdrecord issue, or if I'm clueless - this is my first experience with a CD recorder on Linux.

[Cooker] fdio
Hi to all It seems to me that several guys, myself included, that have upgraded to rpm 4.0.x have the problem of the missing fdio. As there were no clear reply, for what I have seen, can please someone say if this is a known bug of whatever package or, opposedly, we made some silly thing? I have back the same message if I try to launch from console either rpmdrake or kpackage. The strange thing for me is that redhat 7.0 has both rpm 4.0x and kde, and they run smoothly, so my opinion is we have made something wrong. Please, give us some help! Alberto Vorano

Since there are many computer using cups, I still cannot avoid that in the server's printer list would not appears all of the printers many many times. In other words, I wish that all the client would see ONLY the queues that I define on my server, but my server automatically browse the whole network for other cups server and... I see the same printers 20 times, for example hp4000 hp4000@pc1 hp4000@pcn that's not very nice! :-( Is there a way to avoid that behaviour? Maybe not run a cups daemon on every computer, but only on some dedicated ones ? But I may not check that nobody runs cups on his own computer! It should be possible to tell my cups server: PLEASE DO NOT BROWSE OTHER CUPS! Any suggestion? :o| Claudio
