In fact, it will actually slow the overall performence of the machine - hence me stating it should be left out of the more 'server' type kernels, but it as it is more responsive, it makes your system 'feel' faster, which, as a desktop user, is very beneficial. It basically decides which processes should get hoe much cpu time, where the linux kernel just normally divides it evenly (excusing priorities and i/o etc). As mandrake is aimed quite heavily at the desktop market (and i think is the best desktop OS i have ever used, although i havent tried OS X yet) this would benefit a great many users. I dont know if it can be copmiled as a module or not (i very much doubt it) but if this is the case,. i really would like it available as at least an option. Ive heard nothing but good things from people i know who use it, but i cant get the bloody stock mandrake kernels to compile (laziness) so i would really like someone else to do it for me ;) Tom - -- Tom "Tomahawk" Badran Department of Computing, Imperial College - --- PGP Key available from certserver.pgp.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8GUVDXCpWOla2mCcRAusIAJ0RpbWfk7+2Z4dqEroePNn39YVe1QCfTQxO VItg7/QXaiFuIRaAnlRhI8k= =QhkI -END PGP SIGNATURE-

There is a real simple way to prevent the damage --delete and a bad mirrir can do. In the directory where your ccoker tree is, *before* doing an rsync, simply make a shadow copy using hard links: $ cd /path_to_cooker $ cp -la cooker cooker.bak $ rsync --madness This creates a complete mirror of your tree before rsync can destroy it. But it does so without taking up any additional space (before rsyncing). Once you are successfully rsynced, remove the shadow with "rm -r". If rsync destroys your cooker tree, you can restore it easily and try again later. b. -- Brian J. Murrell

Aurora has been choking on kudzu for as long as Aurora has been around. The solution is for initscripts to be 'Aurora aware'. Initscripts needs to check if Aurora has been selected, and if it has select the appropriate switches which either skip the step (exercises like kudzu are rather meaningless under Aurora), or default the step (if a disk is not clean and Aurora is running, the disk should be audited, users who typically use Aurora won't be able to make an intelligent choice on this anyway, and could easily get themselves in trouble, audit the disk, OK?). On the other hand, when booting in raw mode, all of the granularity should function with preciseness. If I answer 'no' to a disk audit, the system should not insult me in typical Windows fashion and go ahead and perform the audit. - George Mitchell

Completly remove the config for your printer, you can use printerdrake and
delete it.

[Cooker] Devfs problem
Hi list, I have problems with latest (or should I say any) version of devfs. I have two CDROMs, /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd Without devfs, everything works well. When devfs is enabled, though, I cannot mount or access the second CDROM. Devfs reports mu CDROMs as /dev/cdrom1, /dev/cdrom2, but when I try to mount the cdrom2, it always tries to mount cdrom1 (or /dev/hdc). The same goes for /dev/cdrom3 .. /dev/cdrom6 (I don't have anything like this installed) - always accessing /dev/cdrom1 (dev/hdc) ! BTW, /dev/cdrom link is broken altogether (points to '../cdroms/cdrom0' instead of 'cdroms/cdrom0)'! Details: Mandrake 8.1 devfsd-1.3.18-17mdk kernel 2.4.16-5 (occurs on 2.4.8-26 and 2.4.13-8 as well, so I don't think this matters) The CDROMs are: Plextor 16/10/40A (dev/hdc) NEC DV-5800A Also, SCSI IDE emulation is broken. On my system with devfs enabled (as opposed to disabled), I cannot: - burn CD-ROMS (broken SCSI emulation, works with devfs disabled) - watch DVDs (cannot access /dev/hdd DVD) PS: /etc/fstab is correct, I can do all of the above with devfs disabled.

I had already taken care of that issue but somehow I made a mistake

But I have a new problem. I'm printing garbage with kernel 2.4.16-6mdk.
The first fourth of the first page I print is ok but the rest is pages and
pages of garbage (2-3 lines of random characters per page). If I boot with

My printer is a Samsung QwikLaser 5100A on a parallel port. I'm waiting

[Cooker] Aurora - lets scrap it ! ;-)
Hello, I have mentioned before that Aurora is the wrong way around, but here is another example: initscripts now asks if you wish to scan the disks if the system is not shut down correctly (incidently, when I said NO to this the disks were still scanned !). However, because Aurora only displays things AFTER the event this prompt sits there hidden until it times out and the scan is performed. After doing this the message "Do you want to ..." flashes extremely fast before you. I think asking questions at boot time and Aurora just don't sit well together ! Owen

[Cooker] Dialogs and windows are begining to suffer from bloat
Hello, I have recently being setting up an old laptop for someone to use at trade fairs. It has an old 800x600 LCD display. For some time it has concerned me just how heavy weight Linux applications are becoming, with things like KDE, Mozilla and Open Office seeming to take an age to startup. But now it appears that Linux users are expected to be using a 1900x1400 screen as well !! ;-) Most QT dialogs just about fit into an 800x600 screen, but a lot of the Mandrake configuration dialogs don't. Even worse, they can't be resized down. I read an article that said that Windows XP was the Fisher Price of UI's, using this comparison QT is fast becoming the Duplo bricks UI !!! ;-) (Perhaps 800x600 screen holders should be using the QT for palm pilots and the like !)

When I want to install a "bare" sistem only with necesary packets I don''t select any groups and I still get some stupid packets in it. Like hexedit Why the hell would I need hexedit if I havent even instaled X. The secont thing: atitute od mandrake developers. For example postfix is built with ldap suport but without mysql suport. Ok not a big problem just had to edit a few lines in spec file and to build it aggain but here is another one: There was an error in spec file so postfix was built without cyrus-sasl suport. Someone reported that and they fixed it in coker.Ofcourse no update was avaiable.Few dayes later a dos exploit was found in postfix and an update was isued but gues what they didn''t fix the damn cyrus-sasl suport and it was only a matter of deleting one extra -I. What about devfs exploit ? Still no official update. Another thing : cyrus-imapd is included in Redhat, ASPlinux , polished linux suse etc... but no mandrake package in 8.1 (7.2 had it) Conectiva has built an exchange killer using cyrus-imapd but thats still not enough for mandrake. I have built my own (veru ugly) cyrus-imapd package and posted spec file and patches to coocker list hoping that someone will do some serious work with it. Guess what only one person replied to the message without even looking at what I have done ? That kind of attitude is going to kill Mandrake. Still Mandrake is the best linux distribution. Since 7.2 I have been buing powerpacks or prosuites from mandrake and if I forget the lasynes of people in sales department I love it. Haven''t tried online suport (since a newer registered it ) so there are no comments on that : Sorry for my bad English, I don''t realy have time to run this try a spell checker.

Most of the times rsync rocks, but when this mess happens it means low bandwith users have to wait many, many hours to recover. I too have to keep a second copy of the whole cooker tree because of the unreliable mirrors.

[Cooker] cooker list spammed ??

It seems that the guy who sent me the mail knew exactly my e-mail (no "undisclosed_recipient@... or To : empty shit) and it doesn't look like usual spam I receive everyday. I don't think its a serious mail from a normal person as the mail body looks more like a worm mail body (of course, the return @ is unknown to me). Anyone received the same ?

[Cooker] Can't
Hello, For some reason it no longer appears possible to from within X ! Sounds odd, maybe, but I have a good reason for wanting to do this ! This is probably a Linux 101 question, but I cannot find any documentation on how to get X to reboot like this (from XFCE for example there is no nice Logout, Reboot, Halt dialogs !). Can anyone tell me how to get X to do !? Thanks, Owen
