[Cooker] Kdevelop and htdig are broken.
My previous mail to got no response. It looks like the fix for KDE bug #34152 has not been applied to Mandrake. (kdelibs-devel) and thus using kdoc in kdevelop is broken. And using the documentation creation facility in kdevelop using htdig (either in the options-kdevelopsetup menu or in intaial setup dialog) has been broken in mandrake for as long as I can remember. compalains about not being able to create the index. try it and see. To fix this the kdev_htdig rpm needs create/include the directory /usr/share/apps/kdevelop/htdig/db/ These two kde packages need updating. This allows the creation of the search indexes. I not sure if it allows the searching to work for projects, (Shift F2 in kdevelop still does not work for me) but it is a step closer. It probably needs to be looked at closer.

Re: [Cooker] KDE3 WHAT A MESS
I found a way to make it all work . . . After a fresh 8.2 install - I downloaded the KDE3 (optimized) RPMS from www.pclinuxonline.com (texstar) for 8.2 Then I did the following (outside X in a console screen cntl-alt-F1) In my home directory: $mv .kde .kde_old then su to root and from the kde3 directory do the following: rpm -Uvh lib* rpm -Uvh arts* rpm -Uvh kde* If you have the kdegraphics3 package, then remove the gphoto2 (rpm -e gphoto2) After the install I started KDE3 and ran menudrake from the control center to recreate the menus under KDE. I also installed the mosfet-liquid theme (which is awesome!) Everything worked beautifully (including sound) and I think KDE3 is much faster and cooler . .

Re: [Cooker] Running cooker, good or bad?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 You would have noticed problems with libpng, which people had when running a hybrid stable/cooker system. This is what can happen, since you may be running two pieces of software which were compiled against two different, and incompatible verions of the same library, thus conflicting. IMHO, if you can't stick with a stable release, then either run cooker (and be prepared for things to break often if you sync often), or rebuild cooker packages on your stable box (which is what I do). Of course, if you rebuild, you might still end up with a broken package, but at least you won't be mixing and matching libraries. Of course, if you try and update something like evolution, you will probably need a new gal, which will need a new bonobo, which will need a new GConf which will need a new However, something like Mozilla (if the stable Nautilus SRPM builds agains the new nautilus, and you are prepared to break Galeon until they release an updated version) shoulnd't be too bad. But don't use cooker packages (without recompiling) on a stable release, unless you know for a fact none of the libraries used have changed (usually quite unlikely). You should never need to use --nodeps when installing RPMs, otherwise you have done something wrong ... That said, I don't have the bandwidth to run cooker, so I could be totally wrong ...

Re: [Cooker] Running cooker, good or bad?
I guess the correct answer would be that it depends on several things. first- Sometimes programs just don't work. second. sometimes the os just doesn't work. usually when some major change in the os like new rpm glibc gcc etc. I am by no means an expert but I have been using it on my home computer since about 7.0. and not that i can say that there have been times that i have resorted to reinstalling the latest stable version until cooker stabilized. I would not recommend running a mission critical server on cooker, but for home use and with some understanding of sometimes things break, go for it and when you find a bug, report it in a non-offending and well elaborated manner. That is what cooker is here for.

Re: [Cooker] Running cooker, good or bad?
I've been running cooker myself for a good number of months now - I can safely say, it is dangerous if you want a stable system - I've had it break my xconfig, kdm, loose my mail, and screw up other bits and pieces (through my own dumb-ass fault and cooker been broken) That said, I still run cooker... I make regular backup's of /etc and /home, and I leave mail on a seperate mailserver as a backup. Cooker is a great way of running the very latest bleeding edge software but more importantly, it's a _great_ way of learning about linux. If you spot any bugs in it, by all means report them to the list (but try and be polite about it after it's wrecked something ;¬) btw: More often than not, someone else will have spotted the problem before you, so it's often worth checking back through the archives... that's my excuse for not being able to contribute much anyway ;) On Thursday 04 Apr 2002 7:15 pm, Michael Andreen wrote: I posted this as reply to another thread, but looks like the discussion in that thread is over and noone is planning an answer, so here it is now, but not as a reply.

Re: [Cooker] KDE3 WHAT A MESS
This address is made from someone called TEXSTAR He makes specially packaged RPMS which are better optimized for Mandrake. If you check his KDE3 RPMS - they are smaller because they are compiled without the debug code and they run leaner. These are NOT the official KDE packages from KDE, but they are specially created and optimized for Mandrake. He's also got some other cool stuff like a Mandrake distribution optimized for Athelon processors . . . FYI Cheers, R.Fox On Thu, 2002-04-04 at 21:08, Joe Simon wrote: www.pclinuxonline.com ??

Re: [Cooker] KDE3 KDM
You can do it with a little hacking.
As root, go to /etc/X11, edit the prefdm file, look near the end where
it execs the preferred dm and add this line right before it.
exec /opt/kde3/bin/kdm $* /dev/null 21
Then you need to create a fndSession file for kde3 to make so that the
KDE3 kdm knows what sessions you have. I've attached mine. Install it
as /usr/sbin/fndSession3
Then do (still as root):
$ init 3
$ /usr/sbin/fndSession3
$ init 5
That's what I did and it works like a charm of course fndSession3
may use something that comes with KDE2 (I still have both installed).
If it can't find anything, let me know and I'll send that too.

graphical install insight- MacOS influence on Linux
This may be of interest: I generally run everything at the highest resolution possible, to get more stuff on the screen at once. The other day I was collecting some screenshots for Phil in MacOS, and backed down the resolution on the iMac to 800x600, and left it that way when I shut down. Today when I went ot do an install, the graphical install had the weird half-overlap effect some folks have described. It was usable, until I got to partitioning, and then I got too worried trying to select my /boot that I was indeed getting the right partition. I tried various video= options, with no improvement, before I remembered making that change in MacOS a couple of days ago. I went back to MacOS and put it back to 1024x768, rebooted into the installer and things were fine again. HTH, Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/PPC/FAQ/

Re: KDM and ATI Rage 128
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/~baudens/ppc/ I installed these packages on my PowerBook Pismo with an ATI Rage Mobility 128, commented the DRI modules back into my XF86Config-4, and everything works beautifully now. Tried the OpenGL xscreensaver modules - they run as smooth as silk with hardware acceleration! Amazing... I haven't tried OpenGL on here for some time, so maybe it's been good for a while, but this is the best I've seen it. :-) Peter
Re: Problem burning ISO image on PC and read from mac
:-) but if you don't use the AppleScript (in my case the applescript kept giving me a strange error of not being able to load something, and since this install of MacOS was not a full install, I didn't bother about fixing it). I just wanted to point out that the instructions online for the link mentioned, show the number of the ram disk size to be 8mb which will cause the installer to go bezerk. for other linux distros (ppc) this is fine, but Mandrake ...it's different ;-) On Thu, 2002-04-04 at 16:14, Stew Benedict wrote: On 4 Apr 2002, Luis M wrote: On Thu, 2002-04-04 at 06:03, Phil Lavigna wrote: Using BootX to install 8.2 PPC: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/temp/tutorialsPPC/Install/pages/install5B.html This first link doesn't show about increasing the RAM disk size ...

I can still only get 16bit color though (ibook2 500). I must say though that the disply is still very nice and crisp and DRI seems to be working very well. Colin

You could also try the eject command. By default it tries /dev/cdrom, but you can specify device. Also ikeyd may enable your keyboard eject button.

Not sure how that may have happened? I can't seem to mount either... perhaps because disks were formatted on Mac OS8. x86 behavior. /dev/sda4 is the common DOS formatted zip. You'll need to put a disk in and do: pdisk -l /dev/sda and see what partition has the data (there may be some MacOS driver partitions, like on your hard drive) hopefully it's formatted hfs, then you can cahnge the fstab entry appropriately, with hfs as the filesystem type, rather than vfat The raw entry for the whole drive is also something I've seen on the main cooker list, so we apparently just inherited that from x86 too.

We have spontaneus reboots
I read some mails (in this ml) about spontaneus reboots. I have 2 blue G3. The first has got MDK8.0 (with 2.4.17 kernel), the secons has got MDK8.2beta1 (with kernel 2.4.18). I registered on eitheir machines spontaneus reboots. In the log I cannot find anything useful, but today morning I saw the monitor: I read something like cua state=idle on the first line. I couldn't read the second line because in few seconds the machine rebooted. It was not a crash, but a regular reboot: something like going in init 6. Any suggestion, now ? Regards, Miguel Beccari
Re: We have spontaneus reboots
it could be a kernel panic. when that happens to my ibook ( when I was using Mandrake's kernels as you are now), my ibook kept panic'ing for no reason. I could not see anything in the logs. It usually happened after being away from it for a long time -- and usually whenever I mounted something, like a NFS drive (I compile my kernel with NFS support builtin, not as a module, just in case -- I use it all the time with the ibook). I thought it was some 'modprobe -r' (cleaning the modules) trying to unload a module or something, and that causing the panic. My solution for it was to get the source for the kernel ( got mine from tuxppc.org because I could not get the kernel-source...rpm to compile in my ibook... well, now I know that I should've used 'make mrpropper', but anyway... ) after compiling the kernel using 2.4.19-pre4 my ibook has been rock solid.
