[Cooker] Disable of supermount reports an error but works! ;o)

[Claudio]

Hello,
Just installed cooker. Raid is ok, all is almost ok now. Just a curious 
thing: when I choose to disable supermount during install process ("setup 
filesystem" step) it says "DIED". But now, fstab is correct and everything is 
ok: SUPERMOUNT HAS GONE!!! YEAHHH!!!;o))

Ehmm... by the way, that's what I can read in ddebug.log (few lines...)

* default cancel_clicked
* warning: Died at /usr/bin/perl-install/diskdrake.pm line 985.
* warning: Died at /usr/bin/perl-install/diskdrake.pm line 985.
* mounting hdb1 on /tmp/hdimage as type ext2
* calling mount(/dev/hdb1, /tmp/hdimage, ext2, -1058209792, )
* step `doPartitionDisks' finished

Any hint about it?

Hi again!
I saw that installer correctly detect my two swap partitions and ask me to 
format them, but at the end of installation fstab just report 1 of them, that 
one on /dev/hda1. Other is on /dev/hdc1.

A followup with some more information and problems:

Corrected Realtek number above.

I cannot configure the X-Server.  The Matsonic 8308 is based on an SiS
chipset with an SiS 630 video chip and "SiS 630 GUI Accelerator plus
3D".  When I get to that section of the install I only get the choice to
install XFree86 3.3.6 (?) or 3.3.6 with experimental 3D support, but not
XFree86 4.0.3.  

(This may be appropriate -- there is some confusion on the XFree site,
it may be that the driver for 4.0.2 supported the SiS 630 but the driver
for 4.0.3 does not.  That seems strange, but may be the case -- I've
written to them about that.  This is not the main problem, but if you
are interested, see these two web pages:

http://xfree86.org/4.0.2/Status30.html#30
http://xfree86.org/4.0.3/SiS1.html#1
)

The main problem is that, whichever option I choose (3.3.6 or 3.3.6 with
experimental...) I quickly get to an error message that says:

An error occurred
Can't call method "set_active" on an undefined value

This also happened when I tried to install Mandrake 7.2 on this system.

Is there a solution?  I was expecting that in either case (Mandrake 7.2
or Mandrake 8.0 beta) I would be given an option to use the "plain"
VGA/SVGA driver, but saw no way to choose that.

Thanks,

[Cooker] Harddrake, cdrw, (e)ide/atapi.

[Blue Lizard]

Installed a yamaha lightspeed (eide).  cdrecord say where your scsi?
Blue say huh?  Blue try to figure out the whole scsi emulation thing.
Much trouble to find a simple solution.  Read linux gazette articles
from September 2000.  There was nothing to configure in harddrake, I
don't think it detected that this was a burner and needed to be scsied
or whatever.
Could we patch in a tiny little (I guess one click thing) that would set
this up for neophytes?
Here is what I did (hdd is the burner):
Changed /etc/lilo.conf as follows:

image=
  label=--
  root=---
  initrd=--
  append="hdd=ide-scsi"
  read-only

Changed rc.local as follows:

At very end added 'modprobe ide-scsi'

---

Simple as anything but since mandrake is the newbie friendly distro I
figured it might be good to add in.  Doesn't really seem like a feature
or I wouldn't have mentioned in this cycle.  Just a patch to me but I no
programmer to do it.

[Cooker] Beta3 Installation Report - Two major bugs

[Michael Brown]

Only two actual bugs found:

1)
When selecting partition sizes (expert mode),
the numbers typed in to the "size" edit box can be ignored.  Rather odd,
but this is what happens:

If you type a number into the box, it is ignored (the partition will be
created with whatever size the dialog defaulted to).

If you type a number into the box, then switch to another control, the
slider does not move.  This is consistent with the number being
ignored.  Clicking on the slider left/right buttons moves the slider from
its current position and reset the number in the box.

If you click on the up/down buttons next to the edit box, then the number
changes correctly *and* the slider moves.

Hope someone can fix this - it's a very annoying problem but probably
caused by a tiny typo somewhere in the depths of the installer!

2)
On reboot after installation, system failed to start.  Probably an initrd
problem.  Setup is /dev/hde1 is /boot (ext2), /dev/hde5 is / (reiser).  
Messages are:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
[] initrd_helper v1.0.1
[] Loading module /lib/reiserfs.o
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-33, errno = 2
VFS: Cannot open root device "2105" or 21:05

Well, no more testing for me until someone can fix this problem :-(



Other comments:

Captions on the photos would be nice.

A bit more status information (other than just time remaining) would also
be nice.  Even if it's just the name of the package currently being
installed.

Is there a way to set up RAID while in the installer?  Tried using the
console on Alt-F2 - couldn't modprobe md, which I presume is essential to
setting up RAID devices (never done it before, was aiming to try with this
installation).  Error message was "unresolved symbol md_autodetect_dev".
Don't have any other machines running kernel 2.4, so was unable to do much
experimentation - gave up and installed without RAID.

Using remote display for installation (linux display=10.0.0.1:1), fonts
were very small and no cursor was visible at any time.

Due to the macrovision on/off code in that library, it will probably never
be open sourced.

But remember, it is for your own good!

I copy over the mga_drv.o from Matrox's site, the display is correct.  So 
far, the problems have been limited to anti-aliased font display, but it's 
pretty darn obvious (screen shots available).

The XFree86 driver has gotten better, and at least it's now usable without 
anti-aliased fonts, but with AA turned on, your only option is to download 
and use the binary driver from Matrox. :-(

I guess the source code used to build the apache binaries
is being distributed so that you can build modules and such
from the exact same source base.

[Cooker] menu

[Eric MC DECLERCK]

Hi Lepied,

I'm tryng to rebuild menu-2.1.5-42 bcause of a constantly 'segmentation
fault'
on a postrun when install a package. And update-menus segmentation fault
also.

I'm sorry, but what compiler are you using to compile
a 'const char**' to convert to 'char**' ?? on update-menus.cc ??

Or is it mine who's can do it ?

[Cooker] Large memory support

[Ray]

I can not compile a 2.4.3 kernel to support high memory.
I have tried all different configurations but the modules will never load on 
boot.
2.4.2 is ok I compiled from beta 3 again today and it is ok if I don't load 
the mdk config file first.

Can someone please compile a high mem kernel and maybe put it in unsupported 
or contrib.

I can do a install if I use the network.img-2.2.17-BOOT8 to do the install
it installs to the raid drive just fine and boots to the 2.4.3 kernel ok.
hope that helps. I do get a gl1280 module that can't load during the install

[Cooker] Bug with smb/remote printer in beta 3

[Randy Kramer]

I just tried to install 8.0 beta 3 for the first time.

(System is a Matsonic 8308 with on-board video, sound, ethernet, 700
MHz  Duron, 192 MB Ram.  On board ethernet is disabled to use a 10 mbit
Coax  ethernet (Realtek 1029(??), I forget the number right now, but the
installation autodetected it and seemed to configure the network
properly.)

1. I configured a local printer which worked fine (almost -- I'll come
back to this), then I went to configure a remote printer using the SMB/
option.  At this point the installation hung.  Based on the message at
the bottom of the screen, the system might have been looking for the
printer.  The computer with that printer was on, that printer was on,
and the network was and is working.  (The machine I am installing on is
a dual boot with Windows -- networking and sharing of the printer is
working fine in windows.)  (I don't know whether the system really tries
to look for the remote printer or not.)

2. The configuration of the local printer went fine on the second
install attempt.  (The installation hung at the SMB printer install on
both attempts.)  On the first attempt to install the local printer, I
tried a printer driver that turned out to be the wrong printer driver,
and it dumped a ton of garbage to the printer that printed multiple
pages (of garbage).  Is there a way to kill a bad print job like that
within the installation, or must I shut off the printer and computer,
reboot, and restart the installation?

3. Also, after selecting packages, it told me I was about to install 3
servers, (cups, postfix, and webmim, IIRC) and asked me if I really
wanted to.  I answered no because I did not want postfix installed, but
there was no additional choice after that -- presumably it didn't
install any of the three.  (I don't know the final result, because the
installation failed at the printer install -- when I started a reinstall
I said yes at that point.)

Don't have any more comments at this point -- in the midst of the third
installation attempt -- this time I will not attempt to install the
remote printer.

You can't just arbitrarily tell someone that the browser you ship has
security problems and we're too lazy to update so go use another
browser.  Advocate the other browsers all you want, but some people
will still want to use Netscape, and for those people they must use
4.77 or disable java/javascript (which should be shot anyways, but
that's not the point).

4.77 needs to be in 8.0 period... from a security standpoint.  Either
it needs to be 4.77 (which it is), or it needs to be removed which it
isn't).  You can't just *not* update it because it's an inferior
browser, especially when you have a security problem to deal with.

I've recompiled with ACPI and the above patch. With ACPI without patch the
problem remains the same. With patch it looks much better - system does
not turns on when I just touch the mouse. Still, if I move mouse long
enough, it is switched on. I'm completely at loss. I even updated BIOS
without any help.

Anyway, it is already better than it was, so I'd really like to use ACPI

[Cooker] APM vs ACPI

[Andrej Borsenkow]

If both ACPI and APM are compiled in kernel, normally APM is used unless
disabled. So, we can distribute Mandrake kernel with both and let people
use ACPI by simply adding apm=off.

Comments? (I just found that ACPI finally intializes correctly on my
system so I would be very interested to play with it)

Ok. But this raises one more question: 
Why are the asm/linux-Includes both provided in kernel-headers AND
kernel-source?
Couldn't the "few" different files be generated on demand, especially
the 
module versions, which do not work for SMP kernels anyway without
reconfiguring
the source tree... (and modifying the Makefile...)

XFree86 (KDE ?) can't find *right* font on your system.
I have seen the same LED font on my LM 7.2 when installed LM with Russian 
locales. Well, fix was to add Arial/Times New Roman from Win98.
(so, problem was with encoding)
And then select *right* fonts in KDE Control Center. 

Also check what encoding you have in Control Center.
If you switched to Unicode (iso10646-1) - it can be a problem in your case as

[Cooker] kernel-headers: why do they install in /usr/include?

[Jürgen Zimmermann]

Hello,
I wonder why the kernel-headers for 2.4 kernels do install in
/usr/include?
Isn't it sufficient to install them in /usr/src/linux-2.4.*/include
and set appropriate symlinks from
/usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm
/usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux

The "problem" I had was: I had a driver for a controler which was only
"compilable" with linux-2.2.
But before I set the symlinks, I always got the headers of 2.4 for the
compilation process, at least if I didn't want to modify the
Makefiles...

So long,

May be, it is not related to this topic, but:

in LM 7.2, by default it installs Russian as KOI8-R, and I have found no way

The preferable way for me is Unicode/UTF8 and support for Russian.

or put that in your ~/.rpmmacros :

%_make_bin make
%make if [ -z "$NPROCS" -a -f /proc/stat ]; then NPROCS=`egrep -c ^cpu[0-9]+ 
/proc/stat || :`; fi \
if [ -z "$NPROCS" -o "$NPROCS" -le "0" ]; then \
  NPROCS=1 \
fi \
%{_make_bin} -j$NPROCS

FYI: last upstream rpm include it by default.

[Cooker] Pcmcia eth0 with rc1

[Eleknader]

Hi!

My network adapter (3com 757 c, pcmcia card) is not properly configured
after install.
I have Dell Cpx 450 laptop.


Installation finds it OK, and asks for IP. After setting IP, pressing OK ->
install
asks IP for 3 Com 59x, which I don't even have. If I click cancel, network
will not
be configured at all. If I press OK, system will set 3 Com 59x as eth1, but
not any
for eth0.

At boot, pcmcia is not working (says no drivers at /proc).

[Cooker] Matrox G450 driver opensource'd

My estimation that Mozilla 1.0 (real *working* 1.0, if 1.0 can work at all :-)
will be ready in September-October 2001.
Let's say, for LM 8.1 :-))

But I am against updating to NN 4.77, there is a Konqueror, Mozilla 0.8 
snapshot, Galeon + Nautilus.
If somebody is interested in security fixes, he should try on of those.

If your goal is rendering speed and low startup time, go for Konqueror.

Can you check pls this URL

Just browse it, and try to select links for different tests.
In many cases Mozilla M18 and 0.7 was not surviving such operations, but 
for Mozilla 0.8 it looks like problem was fixed.

Hi Randy!
As far as I know, these RPMs should work.
I have tested them (here, on my LM 7.2)
Please be sure when upgrading that you have satisfied list of dependencies.

The only ones I recommend to ignore are db1, db1-devel.
Install all other necessary libs, and KDE 2.1.x should work ok after all.

In any case, if you still have problems you can write me off-list.

if you link is named /etc/aurora/Monitor and link to
/usr/lib/Aurora/Monitors/NewStyle-Categorizing-Monitor it should b
ehandled correctly.
But there was a bug in previous drakxtools < -80mdk that some time

Re: [Cooker] Col. Panic -code?

[Arnd Bergmann]

Yes, you /could/ find it out from the assembler code provided
that you know the exact kernel used.
But it is usually far easier to just look at the clear text
message right before that. Does it by any chance say something
like 'Unable to mount root device on XX:xx' or 'Unable to
open initial console'?

Re: [Cooker] File Conflict report with TiMidity++-2.10.3-2mdk

[R.I.P. Deaddog]

Geoffrey, here?

Merely my suggestion:

1) mark /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg with %%config, but a
*REPLACEABLE* one, OR
2) make timidity++ require timidity-instruments

Personally I'd suggest (1), because (2) will make the whole distribution
more bloated but that's up to you anyway :)

Abel Cheung

PS I've been using a modular configuration in timidity and it works
nicely, any plan to make the GUI in timidity modular? So that one needn't
hardcode timidity++ to use GTK interface!

[Cooker] perl not equal to mod_perl

Thanks for attending to the apache updates to make ssl and php work (I've 
only checked ssl so far). Only problem is now mod_perl doesn't work with the 
perl upgrades. I'm sure they're in the pipeline and are about to be 
redirected into cooker ;-)
