[Cooker-firewall] new MNF date release
Hello everyone, The new iso image is ready. I will eventualy still have to update the latest translations (online docs and menu translations) but the MNF is functional. Of course, please test the latest packages and send us the bug reports in order to fix them. You have noticed, there are some delays in the production of the new MNF box mostly due to the organisation (priority wise) schedule. The 9.0 Mandrake Linux is also about to come out, so the designers, doc guys and we, the developpement geeks have to work on several fronts in the same time. But don't worry, the new MNF will be soon available, hopefuly in september. In the meanwhile, enjoy our wonderful packages from cooker =8o) cheers, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/

It would be really nice if Mandrake would create a choice to login into a new desktop without having to logout of an existing one. It shouldn't be that hard to program I would think. Just add an option like in XP to switch users or logout and have the mandrake kdm/gdm automatically create a new X session if a new logon is intitiated. You could then create a unified menu entry that would list user accounts so that it would be easy to switch users from within a desktop. Have all reentry with the option of being password protected. I don't think it should involve that much since the basics are already in existance within linux. It has always exists : -either go to console, log as another user (or same user) and type : startx -- :1 (for second display) -install gdm and go to Configuration/Boot/New session with GDM (if you install gdm-Xnest, you can also try New embedded session with GDM) I know it already exists in Linux.

Hello, My PDC-20276 raid-controller was detected again by 9.0beta3. Then I installed ataraid (from the scsi-menu) and pdcraid (# modprobe pdcraid). The pdcraid driver didn't oops, so I was very hopefull. There are two 60G disks on the raid bus, When I continued I got 3 tabs for my partitioning: - hda containing the partitioning I made with Windows-XP, but showing only half the sizes - hdb without a partiontable - ataraid with a wrong partiontable I made a new partioning on ataraid and then the installer told me to reboot (?). After rebooting I couldn't get on with the installation. Under Windows-XP the partioning was s;ighyly changed. It still worked but drives D E F wer not properly recognised. Henk.

Also make starting up new X-sessions on demand and the ability to kill any extra X-sessions when a user logs out. I completely agree with you. The important thing here is that with XP it is so easy to find and understand that everybody know how to use it at first try. Whereas, no one ever thinks about going into Start - Boot and Init - New login with GDM, and even those who find it by chance cannot ever guess what it means. This is a typical situation where Linux has more features, but it inaccessible to most people, and more complicated to use, even for simple situations. This is a job for Mandrake to make it easy with Linux, too, at least in common situations. Perhaps Mandrake should design a small switch X user application (needs some root privilege) which would appear in the first level of the Mandrake menu (which is windowmanager-independent, thanks for this very important feature -- where does it come from originally ? ;). It would offer two explicit choices -log in as a different user without interrupting current session -switch back to an already logged session and a list of user icons have an advanced tab that trigger displaying screen depths with icons -select screen depth: [*]default []8bpp []16bpp []24bpp []32bpp and perhaps (in a future version) -freeze current user apps [yes/no] (why ? because some apps might be running, take resources for nothing, which prevents them from being simply swapped out. What about remote apps, well the X protocol is known to do a lot of things, it must already implement some kind of xon/xoff-like feature i'm asleep for a while) This would: -as the user running the current session, lock the screen with the screensaver the user is currently using (ask the X server about the presence of a client, NOT the local process table because the screensaver client might be remote, or do things like xscreensaver-command -lock which does the right thing), or launch a simple one if there is no one running -as root, launch a new X server, that queries GDM/KDM/whatever; which does the rest of the job in case of a new session -OR in case we switch back to an existing session, locate the correct virtual terminal and perform a chvt (or directly the correct ioctl). (and perhaps wake up the X server that might have gone to sleep or even switch of the monitor) There are some issues in special cases (pure X terminal with remote *dm, etc...) and GDM/KDM has to be properly configured to accept new connections. Perhaps this is actually all a job for the display manager, not for a new, standalone app. Also, I agree with answer by MandrakeSoft people that it might be better to have all this handled by one single X server, not launching several ones (too bad for the different screen depths). Conclusion: If the existing but beginner-unusable feature is invisible, and no one puts it forward, this will never change. If you popularize this feature, things will change. The basic argument is: Unix and Linux are multi-user systems. A complete multi-user environment should make easy for people to share a common console without reading the Console-Howto. (Also, same thing for changing screen depth...)

Re: [Cooker] Suggestion for a Drake - procmail
Adam Flinton wrote: From the KMail FAQ: Why aren't my filters applied to incoming messages of IMAP accounts? Because KMail currently doesn't support this. You should use server-side filtering (ask your admin for how to install filters on the server and in which format), since IMAP is all about managing your emails on the server. Unfortunately, although there exists a mail filter language (Sieve, defined in RFC3028), there is no standardized access protocol for installing or editing server-side Sieve scripts. If such a protocol becomes available in the future, KMail will most probaly include support for it. You are obviously masochistic if yo are using Kmail with IMAP, so you should consider it a pleasure to read the procmail man pages etc. Heck, I think I could probably read all the procmail man pages and rewrite my .procmailrc (and add more features) before Kmail reads the headers in my inbox. Really, try Mozilla on both windows and linux. It's much faster at IMAP, and can do IMAP filtering. And if you really need people to set up procmail filters, it seems the squirrelmail web-based email package has a procmail plugin. I haven't tried it though.

NO DOUBT. in both beta 3 AND 8.2 I am getting this activity CONSTANTLY. everything works wonderfully until I switch mouse drivers in X. after changing from using either 'ps/2' or 'imps/2' as the driver to 'explorerps/2' my machine begins to lock up hard. my machine is a tbird 1200 on iwill kk266-r. trackball explorer (as imps/2, I can only use it as 5 button, explorerps/2 allows 7! help!) adaptec 2940uw scsi one thing to note, my lockups usually occur during massive hard disk reads on the scsi, but ONLY while explorerps/2 is chosen. to Richard Tango-Lowy and Brook Humphrey: are either of you using mice that have more than 2 buttons and scrollwheel? perhaps this is a bug with mouse driver accepting more than 5 button commands...

Interestingly, Freetype2 is now up to 2.1.2, which they claim has a good-enough hinting alternative without patent problems. Has anyone looked into this? Why is it not in Mandrake? (Yet...) Because we are in version freeze now and its internal API has changed (it would have required at least recompiling pango and maybe other packages).. And it is not bug free either :(( Ah I see.

This package has nice story about it. It is essentially a script. And the author made it so that it _only_ works on debian. Howbout that for portable code. I primaraly wanted to run it on OpenBSD, I also maintain the OpenBSD port. And for my first attempt to port it I took a good look at the (check abcde-website) port of the month on NetBSD. The port that _only_ ran on NetBSD. Mind you, this is a shell-script. So for OpenBSD I created a patch with portability in mind. Wasn't hard at all, but I just kept it in mind. So now I ported the port to an rpm and taraa: It works out of the box. Well except for the device name for the cdrom. Sorry about that. Anyway, enjoy abcde.

Re: [Cooker] SiS630
I'd like to improve the graphics on a SiS 645 board too. The screen flickers. I changed the horiz and vert entries to match the monitor specs but that gave no improvement. The SiS' driver results in Frequency out of range on the low side. Is there an easy way to fix this? Jim Tarvid I can use only framebuffer by default or add path to X4.2. There also pathes for kernel which allow to use 3d acceleration on this chipset look at: http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml for details. I'd like to have full working graphics car btw.

[Cooker] xscreensaver and Gnome2

Re: [Cooker] rpmdrake feature to regain, turns into a search engine
Stephane Gourichon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In relation to the recent rant about the new rpmdrake... * One more disappearing regreted feature: In previous releases (7.1 I think) there was a primitive rpmdrake tool, that allowed an interesting feature, though it was not intended by the developper, and disappeared in the 8.x. Imagine you were looking for, say, an xfig replacement. You would search for xfig. In 7.1 the search engine highlighted xfig *in its category*. Then, you just had to look at xfig's neighbours in the category to find similar programs. In rpmdrake-2, the sorting by RPM Group is back, and it should match 99% of the problems you solved that way. Suppose you want to find CD Burning applications, with rpmdrake-1.5 it was kinda hard (search burning in descriptions? you can miss some), now just select All packages, by group then Archiving/CD Burning. [...] To continue with the xfig example, I know that you can look for vector drawing or the like, but sometimes you know a program that is similar to the one you're looking for, but you don't know what keywords to use. (Or the keyword is too vague, like network of font so you have tons of irrelevant results.)

Re: [Cooker] Cooker is frozen / 9.0 schedule
Warly, The beta cycles are too fast for people limited to V90 (56KB) downloads. beta 3 came before beta2 could complete download. Now beta 4 or rc1 is to come before download of beta 3 can possibly be completed! I don't yet have the first beta 3 CD image down (57%). So much for any possibility of beta testing. At, say, an optimistic 4MB/sec overall effective download rate, one 700MB CD takes 50 or 60 hours,ie 2.1 days+ (on a 24x7 assumption). 3 CDs would therefore take nearly a week. Then testing and reporting time must be added. Not all of use have broadband access, and even if we do, the cable vendor's acceptable use policy does not permit such large downloads (here you get your account summarily closed with no reopening possibity. Only an unlimited downloads V90 ISP can make it possible. Even then the maximum session time is 5 hours, although luckily mine does not enforce this overnight. So beta releases cannot be closer than 4 weeks apart, better say 6 in practice. Unfortunately, it must be so g if you want any beta testing done. This is a real and pressing problem, and again, Mandrake is shooting itself in the foot. Ron. Warly wrote: Cooker is entered in its first frozen state. ...
