[Cooker] Updating vs reinstalling
Until tonight I have always ran my "cooker" script and completely reinstalled the latest cooker every time. I have decided I would like to just update my cooker install instead, bur I can't find simple enough instructions. Can someone point me to the right howto, please? -- -michael- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--..-... "It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious." ANW
[Cooker] Install problems in 8.0 (LBA prob?)
I tried installing 8.0 on a friend's 800Mhz Thunderbird box and ran into some problems with diskdrake. The first install attempt seemed to go well, I set up the partitions within driskdrake, but I got the dreaded "LI" on reboot. Several attempts to reinstall lilo gave the same results. I tried changing bootloaders to GRUB and got "GRUB" on the screen and no more. Looking at the partion tables with another utility (Rannish Partition Manager) showed a fairly scrambled partition table, though I was able to boot from floppy if the floppy had a kernel on it. Pre-generating the partition table with Rannish, diskdrake gave errors about being unable to read the partition table. I aborted the install at that point. It is interesting to note that the Luser was insistent on placing the Linux partitions in the last 4G of a 46G device, and so the boot loaders would have needed to operate in LBA mode. The diskdrake error is of more concern, however, as the text installer actually presented a proposed partition table and wanted to format the whole drive. -- Anton GrahamGPG ID: 0x18F78541 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RSA key available upon request "I got everybody to pay up front...then I blew up their planet."

That's odd. I don't understand your claim to have never found "_any_" support if you know about linmodems.org. Given that there _is_ support, I would not take that as a ringing endorsement to rush out and buy a supported soft modem. These drivers are only useful if you have a modem you can't easily and cheaply replace (like a built-in modem in a laptop). Some people just don't have the money to buy a better modem and must use what they have; it's great that the Linux community is working toward support for this hardware (and WinPrinters, too) to support these people. You're not still using kernel version 0.99 are you? 8) Hoyt

Re: [Cooker] winmodem? 8.0?
I have that USR PCI voice/fax/modem iin my system. It works great. With the 2.2.x Kernel series, I had to run setserial on it to associate the hardware parameters to the device special file, but with 2.4.x, it just works auto-magickally. The only thing that threw me was the fact that it gets called /dev/ttyS4, but now Mandrake finds it, and I don't even have to worry about that. As for using an external modem, what about folks (like me) who have other stuff to do with their serial ports (exempli gratis: Palm cradle and UPS?) -Charles Thus spake Hoyt, on Sunday 20 May 2001 15:05. > On Sunday 20 May 2001 02:06 pm, Gary Lawrence Murphy wrote: > > USR makes a very nice PCI voice/fax modem that works with Linux; > > you need to do some fiddling with the serial ports to make it work > > (see the Modem-HOWTO) but otherwise it works fine. > > > > The key is to get the "hardware modem" which retails for about $120 > > and not the "software modem" that retails for about half that amount. > > If you are going to spend that amount of money on a modem, purchase an > external serial-port modem.

Can you substantiate this claim? If there was support in any prior version of Linux, we wouldn't have linmodems.org desperately trying to reverse-engineer the beasts. The Modem-HOWTO also concurs that software modems are not supported under Linux except for those drivers listed at linmodems.org. Software modems are just raw DSP chips; the software must do all of the signal processing to understand dialtones, produce dialing tones and modulate/demodulate the carrier frequency. This is a non-trivial program. The only modem support for Linux (outside of the linmodems) is for those modems based (sometimes loosely) on the old Hayes "AT" command set. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: office voice/fax: 01 519 4222723 T(C)Inc Business Innovations through Open Source http://www.teledyn.com KernelWiki Community Linux Docs: http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/wiki

It's just that most winmodem manufacturers that have released drivers for Linux have done so in the form of binary kernel modules compiled against a 2.2.x kernel. However Lucent have put out a driver that's been seperated into two parts so that Lucent's proprietary stuff can be linked properly against any kernel.

Re: [Cooker] evolution and gpg
Actually I'm connecting to my isp's pop and smtp servers using evolution
only (like, I don't have fetchmail or procmail or sendmail specially set
up, I just plugged it all into evolution and let it deal with it).
I'm actually commenting on it because in evolution-0.9 it worked for
both pgp/mime and cleartext. It seems odd that functionality that was
there would just disappear.
I guess maybe it's time to go the "complex" route and setup all the
*mail programs. Too bad though, I liked being lazy.

Re: [Cooker] winmodem? 8.0?
USR makes a very nice PCI voice/fax modem that works with Linux; you need to do some fiddling with the serial ports to make it work (see the Modem-HOWTO) but otherwise it works fine. The key is to get the "hardware modem" which retails for about $120 and not the "software modem" that retails for about half that amount. As for the Lucent WinModem, I use this on an Acer 330T with Linux 2.4 and while it has some serious lock problems (when it crashes, you must remove the battery to reboot) these only occur if _you_ terminate pppd instead of allowing the closed connection to terminate pppd. (that's my theory anyway). The current version linked to the linmodems page is better, but still has this problem; as a precaution, unless the modem disconnects because the ISP hung-up or did not connect, I always do a hard reboot between calls. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: office voice/fax: 01 519 4222723 T(C)Inc Business Innovations through Open Source http://www.teledyn.com KernelWiki Community Linux Docs: http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/wiki

licq-kde-1.0.3-5mdk is what I am using... I think I plucked it from contrib but could be wrong. It was packaged by you though.

Uhm, dunno how your setup is, but if you're running your own mta at home and
have evolution check your spoolfile ínstead of your providers POP3/IMAP box,
you might want to check out this procmail recipe. It checks if this is a
PGP'd message and changes the header entries to pgp/mime if it's a cleartext
(text/plain) message.

Under almost all circumstances cards cannot share irq's even if you get it to run it will cause system instability. None of the current motherboards allow the use of all pci slots for this reason. The next generation of amd smp motherboards will have a 64bit pci bus on all slots which will fix the irq problems but for now there is no such fix. I should also mention that the new motherboards will be going for 700-800$ so its not a cheep fix but it will also include 160-scsi and dual 3com nic cards. This one is from tyan but others like msi are planing versions with smp for around 300$ or maybe a little less. > > Right now, they share the same IRQ because they occupy the 2 PCI > 64bits/66MHz PCI slots: > Promise Ultra100 TX2 is PCI 32bits, 66MHz (although can do 33MHz) > Adaptec 29160N is PCI 64bits, ?MHz > > Potentially I could try to put the Promise into a PCI 33MHz slot > that does not use the IRQ 10 but I'd rather be able to use it > at its full capabilities. > > That was a bit long :) hope they're someone out there who can > give me a few hints.

[Cooker] Problems with XFree86-4.0.99
Hi all. I have tried to install the new XFree packagesm with some trouble; finally I am running them, but with a bit of handcrafting...just what I noticed to help debug the package. First and more important, all the fonts in the dirs 100dpi, 75dpi and misc look like screwed, thay are all gzipped files of size 20 bytes. I had to reinstall 4.0.3 from 8.0, save those fonts, and re-copy them over the hew ones: -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-10.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-13.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-14.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-15.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-2.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-3.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-4.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-9.pcf.gz -r--r--r--1 root root 8480 May 20 15:23 timR24.pcf.gz (the only ones with size != 20 are those I copied from 4.0.3) Server cannot find even 'fixed', so it refuses to start.

I rpm -e'ed it manually, but even if you add a conflict or an obsoletes, replaces, etc, XFree does not include glut (so if you erase Mesa-common, you have no glut) So perhaps mesa-common has to be splitted in mesa-glu and mesa-glut, or pack GLUT apart for XFree-4.1.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake PPC
It's targeted for New-World machines, which only have a CD or hard-drive as a boot device. For a minimal boot CD you'll need the yaboot.conf that should be at the base of the directory, and the boot directory. The stage1 installer then gives options for all the various install types. Perhaps I should make a "tools" directory with an x86 version of mkhybrid for those of you starting the process from Intel. You need this older version, as the current version makes read-only hybrids and the mkINSTALLCD script is unable to "bless" the boot folder. Be aware, we do not have a non-destructive partition splitter for PPC, like on Intel. You will need to prep your hard drive beforehand, leaving whatever space you want to dedicate for Linux as "Apple_Free". I have a doc that goes over this, which I should drop into the download area too.

[Cooker] LM 8.0 with Promise Ultra100TX2 & Adaptec Ultra160 29160N

You could use the procmail tips given by Anton Graham last week :
:0
* !^Content-Type: message/
* !^Content-Type: multipart/
* !^Content-Type: application/pgp
{
:0 fBw
* ^-BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-
* ^-END PGP MESSAGE-

:0 fBw
* ^-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

It converts plaintext to pgp/mime.

I personally would say it should not. I think that making an interactive zsh behave very powerfully by default is a good idea. However, I take issue with the execution. Here's how I would implement this: Add a .zshrc file to the /etc/skel dir that includes this compinit code. Then, add post-install code to the zsh rpm that gives a copy of this rc file to all existing users that don't already have the file (for a certain restricted definition of "all existing users").

[Cooker] Mandrake trees downloader - new version!
Notice to all. troels.rsync3.pl (a Perl script) is an rsync-based free GPL program customised for efficiently and quickly downloading Mandrake trees and iso images. It has the following features over and above raw rsync to speed things up considerably: 1. Local files that match the server file except for version number and patch level are renamed to match the server's file name. This clever trick makes rsync use its inbuilt patch-in-place facility instead of doing a complete new download of that file. 2. A prebuilt rsync_exclude file is supplied. This contains the file names to be excluded from the download. This is pre-setup to exclude all RPMs supporting locales other than English (this alone saves 250 MB on a Cooker download), and is up to date. 3. Broken servers are handled correctly - rsync does not. This latest revision of this program is now available for download from: http://ains.net.au/~ronst/ Make sure you read the readme.html and make sure you register with NetMind at the bottom of the readme page. This is the only way that existing users will receive notification of changes in future. If you previously registered on the old web page, you will have to re-register for this new web page. Note: Because of the greatly differing directory structures between the mirrors you must firstly set up your local downloading area directory structures as you want them. My recommendation, which corresponds with the supplied template lines, is in the readme. Then edit the troels.rsync3.pl script with the servers, server directory structures, and local file directory structures you will be using. How to do this is explained in the readme.html file. Many standard template lines are included in the 'main program' section of this Perl script as these templates for you. As supplied initially, ALL are commented out. You just have to uncomment the ones you want to download. Enjoy! -- Ron. [au] Kindly note my new email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and new web site: http://www.ains.net.au/~ronst/
