[Cooker] Grub doesn't handle reiserfs with another ext2fs
Hi, I used grub from 7.2 (grub-0.5.95-7mdk). I have 3 reiserfs part on hda and another ext2fs on hdc. I want to use grub for booting mandrake on hda and debian on hdc. But as grub use reiserfs_stage1.5, it can't handle ext2fs. I tried to install reiserfs-grub on hda and ext2fs-grub on hdc and chainloader from hda to hdc during the boot, but it doesn't work. maybe, I need to try 0.5.96 ? -- Thomas Poindessous EpX asso GNU/Linux de l'Epita [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.epita.fr/~epx

somebody has an idea about where the problem comes from ? bad rules ?
logrotate bug ?
Bad rules...
This problem has been raised, a long time ago ...
Hopefully, users has now a lot of HD space and it will takes 1 or 2 months
to fill all of this space.
Maybe, an update for 7.2 can be provided ?
Before discovering the problem, slocate and logrotate need time to process
(more than 120 000 file in /var/log/news and /var/log/mail) and i loose
400 Mo of disk space.
For deleting them, try
for in in *.gz ; do rm -f $i; done
because rm -f *.gz doesn't work, too many arguments.

[Cooker] Apt-get for RPM
I just read www.lwn.net and I saw that conectiva.com hast just started to hack apt-get for working with RPM. I use a lot urpmi and apt-get on a Debian system and a mix of two will be the top. I also see that Yellow Dog has created the same tool in Python. Maybe it would be cool if Mandrakesoft, Yellow Dog, Conectiva and Redhat could agree on the use of apt + a complementary tool. Or just conribute to apt-get for adding the missing functions like: urpmi gnome- (aka gnome-*). Please apt-get + urpmi on my system ... -- Thomas Poindessous EpX asso GNU/Linux de l'Epita [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.epita.fr/~epx
[Cooker] Problems during install and post-install with 7.2beta and cooker
Ok. I have installed Cooker (16/09 at 01h) and 7.2beta (16/09 at 16h) from
ftp.
For cooker:
* no help. I think it's normal (in 7.2b there is)
* translation is not finished (already reported)
* I got a error for proxy. I set it to 10.225.7.3 and it asked me to prefix
it with http://. It's a little "stupid" (no offense), if I must prefix it
with http:// and nothing else, maybe the system could do it for me ? And I
have a ftp proxy with Squid but I can't set it because it asked it
beginning with ftp://. And when I want to correct these errors I got a:
can't call method "grab_focus" on an undefined calue.
And the end of installation of cooker, I got a error :
umount /proc/ failed
/tmp/stage2/ failed
At the reboot, I got nis error (can't bind domainename), high-avaibility
errors and fetchmail errors. These errors are "normal" since I don't set
domainname and fetchmail server but these services would be disabled.
For 7.2beta:
* translation
* I got an error "no enough space available" because I set mountpoint for
cooker install and I checked "format" after the mountpoint step. It worked
fine if I format them in the mountpoint step. (I needed to reboot because I
wasn't able to umount /)
The next errors are minor ones.
* during the config of time, can you print the current time of the computer
and the time in the chosen config (I always forgot if my computer is GMT or
not)
* for the printer server config, can you change the french word "annuler"
by "aucun" ("cancel" by "none") like for the bootloader step.
* when I add a user, I can't select his icon because there is no one (maybe
it's because I only install 200 Mo). In the cooker there was some (but I
installed 900 Mo).
During the first boot, I got two errors from xfs: "no such entry ... " with
a lot of scary characters.
The last but not least error is the reboot option of kdm. I chose medium
security level and after installing kdm with urpmi, I cant reboot my
computer from the kdm entry. It's not medium security.
But the 7.2beta is really a good one.

You would have a large base of beta testers just one idea. In France, for the 7.0, I think, a magazine has offered the beta version (but they didn't explain it). A lot of students from my school installed it and since this day, I try to convince them that Mandrake is not as buggy as they have seen !!! Giving beta in a mag is not really a good idea.

Sorry, I can't reply to the Pixel'message. I have upgraded but urpmi doesn't want to work all times. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just freezes during more than 1 hour but it take 5 % of cpu. It download well, "generating dependencies list, getRequires done" but after nothing !!! I really don't see where to search. And it will be very pleasant if some improvements can be made, to look more like apt : * urpmi kernel-* (upgrade all kernel packages - devel, source, utils ...) * urpmi toto (upgrade also toto-devel) * Less dependancies about kernel and xfree sub-version. * auto upgrade (like apt-get update and apt-get upgrade) Thanks. -- Thomas Poindessous Eleve en 1ere annee d'ingenieur a l'Epita [EMAIL PROTECTED]
