Let new design be, but an option to get old one back is very welcome. BTW Aurora+latest initscripts (and previous build as well) hang at shutdown on my system (both init 6 and init 0). The last thing I see is killall icon and "System rebooring" (or something like this) message. File systems are not unmounted. Frame buffer without Aurora is fine. This is 7.2 with several updates, notably: kernel-2.4.1 (seen with 2.4.0 as well), initscripts, Aurora, XFree 4.0.2, KDE 2.1Beta2 and some others that were needed because of dependencies.

[Cooker] Still problems with supermount and kernel 2.4.x
Mandrake 7.2 with kernel-2.4.1-mdk4 (and 2.4.0-various as well), initscripts-5.54-3mdk. I write it off memory, so sorry if some lines are not precisely correct. 1. To be of any use, supermount'ed devices should automounted, that happens in stock 7.2. This is done in rc.sysinit before mandrake_everytime is called. It means, that when mandrake_everytime tries insmod supermount, supermount is already loaded, insmod fails and supermount is disabled :-) 2. Current check does not account for built-in supermount. I forgot the name of a file where current filesystems are listed, assuming it to be /proc/kernel/fs, correct check looks like ! grep -q '^supermount$' /proc/kernel/fs !insmod -q supermount disable supermount This would account for both builtin and module case and for module being already loaded. 3. For whatever reason supermount on 2.4.x (both 2.4.0 and 2.4.1) does not like ``nohide'' option for floppy vfat. If I remove this option everything is O.K; with this option automount at boot time bails out with general error message. 4. When I try ``supermount enable'' it will add supermount for all devices, not just removable. I understand, it may be impossible to know which are removable and which are not ... in this case something like supermount (dis|en)able /dev/cdrom supermount (dis|en)able all is nice. 5. Finally, ``supermount disable'' adds ``noauto'' option, but ``supermount enable'' does not remove it. Som after supermount enable devices are not mounted automatically - as a result, no automount. cheers -andrej Have a nice DOS! B

Still, supermount looked as if it would have been mounted had it not gotten that kernel panic. I was not referring to kernel internals. I am using Mandrake kernel with supermount included. I was referring to the method used in init scripts to determine, if supermount should be allowed. Oh, yes, I just realized - the whole check in mandrake_everytime comes just too late. Hmm ... to sort things out: - if I use supermounted drive in fstab with noauto option, like /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/cdrom,noauto,bla-bla-bla these are never mounted and are useless (at least in my case). - if I remove noauto option (and this option is *not* there on clean 7.2 install) then these drives are mounted (or not mounted) in rc.sysinit BEFORE mandrake_everytime is ever called So, checking for supermount in mandrake_everytime looks pretty useless as it stands now. If we want to use it, we need - disable mounting supermount in rc.sysinit - add mounting somewhere later, in or after mandrake_everytime. -andrej

They're not owned by any RPM, so I don't know where they are supposed to come from. By copying them from the non-upgraded machine, I could get back the pictures and sounds and Configuration menu entries, but those menu entries didn't work because kcmshell couldn't find the modules for them... I haven't figured out where it's looking for them. I haven't been able to find any documentation on kcmshell, in fact. Sorry for not having exact error messages. You should be able to reproduce the problem by simply installing KDE 2.0 on 7.2, and then upgrading (rpm -Uvh) to 2.0.1. I didn't do anything unusual. I had to revert to KDE 2.0 to get a working desktop. I have installed all of the KDE packages except the non-British i18n ones and kdegames.

The kernel doesn't know about threads (ie they're normal processes) The glibc pthread use one-to-one model as before. many-to-one doesn't benefit from SMP and sucks on scaling. 1) one-to-one is simpler and 2) linux has very fast context switches = the many-to-many model is just plain overhead on Linux. b) IBM 're-discovered' the short comings of only having this model.

Re: [Cooker] KDE 2.0.1 for 7.2 breaks Configuration menus, icons, sounds
If you did an rpm -Uvh or rpm -Fvh on the entire LM 7.2 updates site, you will encounter that problem. What i did after that "mistake" was to remove kdebase (rpm -e --nodeps kdebase) and reinstall it (rpm -i kdebase-2.0.1*) This will fix your icons (at least on my system it did). Aha. Perhaps if you list kdebase last when upgrading all of the KDE packages, its %post script (which runs update-menus) will get run last? I handed the packages to RPM in alphabetical order from a directory listing, of course. Running update-menus manually after updating KDE seems to fix the problems. Thanks for your insight!

Re: [Cooker] 7.2 Upgrading
Hi all, AFAIK upgrading rpm 3 to 4 isn't that hard basically I used rpm2targz (from Slackware) to turn db3 and rpm4 to tar.gz packages, and unpack them manually (note: check carefully if it overwrites any important libraries that you don't want to change). After a rpm --rebuilddb and you can start doing anything you want. But this method is ugly, I know :D regards, Abel Cheung On Wed, 7 Feb 2001, Alberto Vorano wrote: Hi to all As most of us know, the first step in upgrading 7.2 is rpm upgrading to 4.x Doing this involves a lot of other packages, and the possible shortcut ways are --forcing as dependencies as possible or directly jumping to install cooker, as someone said. But cooker is unstable by definition, so this is an unwise move if the box is to be used for everyday work. By the way the starting point is widely uncertain, as every normal installation is tailored its own way. I had good results in the last weeks starting new minimal installations and then upgrading them in the most complete way following what dependencies required. It was a very cumbersome work, but at the end I had a working system with rpm 4.x, XFree 4.0.2,KDE2,kernel 2-4.1-3 and all the related goodies, that at present looks stable and with minor problems. It required downloading some 250-300 meg, but far less than cooker. Now I come to the point: don't you think it would be practical making another directory on cooker mirrors containing all and only one stable version of each package needed for such an upgrade? It wouldn't be necessary to maintain this directory, as every upgraded system could then be feeded by cooker itself. Moreover, adding installation files could lead to a "7.2-b" that I think will cause a lot of people to feel very happy as all that they have to do is downloading and installing. Am I wrong?

[Cooker] hdparm-3.9-6 (automatic hdparm at boot)
Hi, cookers.
A comment about hdparm package and initscripts.
I was looking for a way to do automatically an hdparm at boot. Grep'ing
throug init scripts I found some lines in rc.sysinit that do that automatic
hdparam at boot for the disks if there is a file named
/etc/sysconfig/harddisk{hda,hdb,hdc...}.
I could guess the format of the file from what is done in rc.sysinit,
but is there any place where it is
documented ? Perhaps the hdparm or the initscripts package should include
some docs or samples... ro even they are there and I did not found them.

+AA-lib is a low level gfx library just as many other libraries are.
+The main difference is that AA-lib does not require graphics device. In
+fact, there is no graphical output possible. AA-lib replaces those
+old-fashioned output methods with powerful ascii-art renderer. Now my
+linux boots with a nice penguin logo at secondary display (yes! Like
+Win95 does:) AA-lib API is designed to be similar to other graphics
+libraries. Learning a new API would be a piece of cake!
+The AA library is needed for GIMP

It needs a sanity test too. That's the installation method where ldconfig is blowing up on package installation.

I would, but I am trying this on a machine w/o a nic(actually an RTL6xxx nic that fails is recognized as an ne2k clone but fails to work properly). There is no way that I am going to blow up my good system until I have at least one semi-successful test install. Also, I think another person on this list has tried a disk install (among other attempts) and ran into the same sorts of errors that I did(ldconfg and hdlist*) A new mkcd.pl script the wa uploaded other day and so someone, somewhere must have at least TRIED to use an ISO or else they are just winging it with the new file ...

Firewall-cooker is a new mailing list for " Mandrake Security " distribution which is cut out of, mostly, 7.2 but using 2.2.18 kernel to implement a firewall / router to protect a single network. That's an over simplified explanation since it also has IDS, some Bastille hardening, and much more. You can read about it in the forum and at the Mandrake main site. The announcement is here: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/pr-firewallbeta.php3 Brand new ISO (beta numero uno) is available for download. It's an important project, imo. Join in the fun!

[Cooker] glibc stripped libraries?
I tried to debug a threaded program in cooker and gdb didn't work as it should. After lots of trouble and investigations, I noticed that /lib/libpthread.so is stripped. This is what breaks gdb. In Mandrake 7.1 it's not stripped and it works (and when I do strip the lib, it breaks). -- [ Below is a random fortune, which is unrelated to the above message. ] At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.
