From a translator perspective, I'd like to comment that the continuing string changes in the Mandrake tools sometimes are driving me up the wall. Up until this weekend there have been string changes without the translators even being notified in any way (I wonder how many developers know about the cooker-i18n list?). This is making the Mandrake experience a less pleasant to non-English users because they get confronted with mixed english/own language interfaces. To make a long story short: next time I would like to see a string freeze that can only be broken in special cases and with notification of translators in due time. The way the Gnome Translation Project works, can be used as a model. regards, Hi all: First of I would like to say that all at Mandarke and volunteers and developers did very well with 9.0. It is going to be a great release. I am pleased that the beta cycle was a little longer than 8.2. This has certainly helped to eleminate most bugs. I have no comments as to the building and testing phases. But I have comments on the reporting phase. I liked that there were three ways to report bugs, but I think that needs to be limited to one way. I really got mad when reporting 3 or 4 bugs during the RC3 portion via MandrakeExpert when I was told to get a Bugzilla account and report them myself, as the expert told me he ws told not to do any more bug reports because they were all usless. This really angered me. I agree that there are a lot of bad bug reports with a open beta like we do. I have probbly done a few my self. But I liked the MandrakeExpert way of doing it because I had someone more knowledgeable than me to look at it and say, hey how about doing this and this and sending the info. Or send the contains of such and such file. This allowed me to turn a bad bug report into a useful one, and one that was taken away from me I got very angry. I think bug reporting should have only one way to report, and that it should be a two step process. One submitte a report, get feed back as to other things that are need, when useful, it is submitted. I think that some sort of feed back needs to be given to the person reporting the bug when it is actioned and completed. Any way just my $.02, I hope it helps make the next beta testing go round smoother. - -- Yours, Ralph.

[Cooker] MDK 9.0 RC3 Problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I just did a fresh install of MDK 9.0 and have observered the following problems: 1. For the first install I selected a expert install, selected auto partition allocation with /usr, selected the software catagories to install, clicked throught the individual package selections, and the install hung with about 1 min remaining. Had to use reset to get out of install, I then tryed a new install this time selecting regular and it completed with the exception of network setup. 2. Network setup selecting both lan or the cable setup is now broken. The set up demands the optional gateway ip address. I use a lan setup to access the internet using dhcp and do not have one. The same problem existis with the network set up using MCC. 3. Mouse setup is now broken. With the installation it appears to work, but did not get the scroll wheel working. In MCC Hardware, I can select the mouse type, but then does not all the normal run the wheel, move the mouse. It goes from select mouse type to back to the menu. The result is menus pop up all over the screen. 4. The eject command is not working properly for my cd. I right click on the menu and left select the eject command and the tray opens for a few seconds then closes, much to swiftly to get the cd out. My work a round was to close all windows. Select removable media again and then select eject agian this time it worked. Let's hope that these can be corrected before final. They all worked in the previous RC. All and all I find 9.0 to be shaping up to be a fine release. But perhaps a bit rushed, perhaps a 4th RC is in order. - -- Yours, Ralph.

We're still not addressing the underlying issue that, if I understand the earlier messages right, you can select a bunch of packages in rpmdrake, hit install, and get back a dialog that says Packages installed successfully (or whatever) - even though no packages have been installed. I've thought about this a bit, but frankly I don't see a way to have one dialog box which deals both with this situation and with a situation where the installation really *did* go as planned. As I see it, the only solution is to either stop the first situation happening at all, or have rpmdrake detect it somehow and return a proper error message. Adamw For what it worth I agree. I started a download and one rpm was not able to be fetched, returned a error message stating sign on name, password was bad (I think the server was just maxed out on users) to me this was a inaccurate dialouge box. Then I selecected not to continue with out this rpm, and the download stops and I get the stupid all successfully installed dialouge, when I no nothing was installed because I was watching progress. I hope this can be fixed. - -- Yours, Ralph.
