[Cooker] 9.2 fails to load installer
All,
I am trying to install the 9.2 PowerPack Installation. I have tried
installing directly from CD1, from a network.img floppy, and from a
cdrom.img floppy, all with the same result. Unfortunately, I do not have
the exact syntax, but it does complain about 'second stage install' and
'I cannot continue =('. It is griping about run_install2 error. I also
tried running the 'live_update' script with zero success. The machine is
an older Gateway 2000, p2-400, 256MB RAM, 30GB HDD, and an ATI Radeon
9000 video card with 64MB RAM. This has been my test box for quite a
while. I tried running 'expert' and 'vgalo' installations as well. All
with the same result. I have searched my mailbox, and have found nothing
else regarding this issue, yet. Am I all alone here? Any Ideas? I can
get you any other information you need.
TIA,
Patrick
[Cooker] Can someone post the md5sums of the powerpack cds?

[Cooker] Problem with Xchat?
I am running Mandrake 9.0 with Xchat (1.8.9). I have it both on my Dell Latitude desktop and my home computer (Athlon XP 1800+) Neither box is running cooker, so I am ready for the flames about which list to use, but I am looking for someone that can possibly duplicate the error. Who better than the people that make my OS of choice? =) Anyway... when running xchat (under Gnome 2) if I open an gnome-terminal, su -, and do an rpm -Uhv or a urpmi --auto, xchat core dumps. It has done it on both platforms. If anyone can duplicate this, or if I can provide the core file to anyone, please let me know, I will take it off list. Thanks, Patrick
Re: [Cooker] Problem with Xchat?
In my configuration, no. Nothing else core dumps. I too am using gnome-terminal with a transparent background. Also, xchat is running with transparent windows. I will test without each of those features. thanks for the confirmation and test ideas!

I was the one who removed it? That was about a year ago, I'm aware that it was removed but I didn't know that it was me ... :-) If you are asking my brain for details now, it's pretty sketchy. I think I got an alert from someone that we might have potential problems with the xmatrix screensaver, and convinced me to remove it. Guys, wake up.. Is it really hard to understand that xmatrix is really a non-licensed use of The Matrix artwork ? What artwork? I did not understand you can copyright the look of a screen. If that is the case, then you better remove lament because it is taken directly from the Hellraiser movies and starwars because it is taken from the opening credits of the Star Wars films. If Jamie or other distributions don't care, fine.. But we DO care, we don't want to get sued.. That is why xmatrix was removed and there is no plan to put it back (except if you get a royalted free license for commercial distribution of xmatrix from The Matrix artwork authors..) There is no artwork involved. it is a character set. I think you guys are overracting. No, I think you are overreacting..
[Cooker] Problem with urpmi
It is probably just me not having a great grasp of the program, but I constantly get: found requires on file not yet found displayed whenever I do a urpmi.update Can anyone, in 1 words or less, =), let me know if this is normal or if it is something that needs to be fixed? Thanks, Patrick

FW: [Cooker] Apache is running but page will not come up! Todays build!
Well, This is what I have found so far... If you ps, you will find that after the first attempt to connect, httpd is [defunct] Checking /etc/httpd/logs/ shows that error_log and ssl_engine_log are both HUGE (depending on how long the box has been up) and they are both filled with two lines. [04/Apr/2001 08:30:59 13019] [error] Child could not open SSLMutex lockfile /etc/httpd/logs/ssl_mutex.12663 (System error follows) [04/Apr/2001 08:30:59 13019] [error] System: Permission denied (errno: 13) If you comment out the last two lines in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (the ones including the ssl stuff) and restart the service, everything works fine. (except ssl of course) Now, I have tried changing owners, flags, directory perms, everything to get this to work. Nothing. AFAIK the SSL stuff is still broken (as it was in b2) I am available to help test / debug as is everyone on the list, so Thanks, Patrick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kip Lawrence Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2001 7:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Cooker] Apache is running but page will not come up!

[Cooker] Gimp and xfs
Hello! I am new to the list, but wanted to share an experience I had with Traktopel... Install went fine (Athlon 1GHz, 30GB disc on a 9GB partition, 256MB RAM) via the expert install option. I selected almost everything except the ssl (because I know that does not work quite right yet either). In any event, I wanted to show off to my wife and was in the process of using gimp to generate a logo (via the script-fu | logo command) when everything went kinda goofy. Processes shot up and gimp froze. I went out to my gnome terminal and killed the gimp process. I tried to launch Netscape and it complained "No fonts found" or "--adobe-courier-... not available". I checked the status of xfs and found that the process was terminated abnormally. I did a "service xfs status ; service xfs stop ; service xfs start" to no avail. xfs started again, but was killed by gimp the next time. So, being the non-programmer that I am, I chose to reboot and see if some tmp file had gotten corrupted. Gimp fired up, but the same processes yeilded the same results. xfs dies because of how Gimp trys to use the fonts. The font dialog does come up, but when you choose a font (I tried different ones just in case the font was corrupt) it dies. Any Ideas? Suggestions? Any way I can help? Thanks, Patrick winmail.dat
