[Cooker] Request : Include Netatalk rpm in cooker distribution
Hi I work at a company that has about a 50/50 split of PC's and Macs. So far the only distribution I have found that has netatalk rpm's included is Suse ( I may be wrong about this) Can you *please* include this in cooker/Mandrake as it would make my life much simpler in serving my customers :) Chris

Copying, Installing... One, the other or both. In either case, the "install" provides a progress bar that goes from 0 to 100 percent. Estimates are only estimates... Progress bars will never be 100% accurate. -But IMO, 100% should be synonomous with done... not, just a little bit more. -It is just a nit-picky, low priority, low severity bug report, but I'd rather see it stick at 99% for 15 seconds than 100%. You can't be a little pregnant... And you can't be a little bit 100% done. I figure it is better to fire off a bug report or request than not to do so at all. One part of my day job is to do automated software testing for a product my company develops. As such, when I'm coding, it's all focused on how do I make it work. When I'm testing, nothing is ever good enough. If it looks like a bug, smells like a bug, or vaguely reminds me of a bug... It's my duty to report it as bug. You can always ignore it, or put it way down on the list to revisit when the real issues are taken care of. Whenever I'm running an installer and I see the install nailed at 100% for a long thing, I just have the passing personal impression that it's a not so hot installer. For instance, have you ever paid attention to netscape's download progress indicators? You can hit 100% and only be 20% through a download.

I would think you could FTP from behind that. But lets say you can't. Use the machine you are going to load Linux on. Use your favorite Windoze program and download it to a partition. Download it to the root of that partition. If you are booting from a later version of Win95 or win98 you will need to boot by hitting F5 as soon as it says loading windows. If it is NT you are on, boot with a floppy disk using any dos or dosemu disk. Then go to dosutils\autoboot and type autoboot. Or... if you don't want to do that, go to dosutils and use RAWRITE to make boot disks, and boot that way. Either way you should then be able to install fine. I'd give you step by steps on the fmirror, if I thought you could get it past the proxy server.

Re: [Cooker] [Install] Question: ide-scsi? Emulate SCSI for ATAPI CDROMs?
Well, I can't speak for the ricoh drive but the phillips cdd3610 atapi 226 cdromrw works fine for m6.0 and for 6.1. It really is not necessary to recompile the kernel. Read the instructions at the cdrecord url about atapi drives. Basically: add to lilo:- APPEND="hdd=ide-scsi" <-- or whatever the device letter. then:- insmod sg insmod ide-scsi<-- maybe in rc.local and:- cdrecord -scanbus <-- to give the dev string. Voila, all works like magic. Bruce On Wed, 1 Sep 1999, Garrett Goebel wrote: > I have an ATAPI Ricoh CDRW.

What information can I provide that would be useful in tracking down the problem?

[Cooker] [Install] Question: ide-scsi? Emulate SCSI for ATAPI CDROMs?
I have an ATAPI Ricoh CDRW. In order to get it to work under M6.0 (unless you know something I don't) for the purposes of burning CDR's and CDRW's, I had to recompile the Kernel, turn off support for ATAPI CDROMs and turn on support for ide-scsi SCSI emulation for ATAPI CDROM drives. Is there any reason why we can't ship a kernel configuration with this as default? Are there any problems associated with making all ATAPI CDROMs emulate SCSI? What do you lose by using ide-scsi? Alternatively, could the default Cooker kernels come compiled in with modular support for ide-scsi? Supposedly there is a lilo directive for telling the kernel to use ide-scsi for specific CDROM drives.

Some of the packages, particurlarly those which can not be deselected are missing help information. Perhaps it is because I can't deselect them that I can't figure out how to get the required packages to display their info/description. Or perhaps this text hasn't been written. In either case, it'd be nice to see the Package Info for all packages, and if no package information is available, then I'd like to see a message like: "No Package Information Available"

Currently, I have to Left Click on a package to see the package discription. This also selects/deselects the package.

The most intuitive thing to me, would be to have moving the mouse cursor over the package display the info on that package... Alternatively, right-clicking on a package would be effective too. -Though I wonder if it'd be an issue for those people with one-button mice.

[Cooker] Mandrake Advanced Extranet Server
At last, I managed to solve all dependencies. Every module I could put my hands on was compiled as a DSO, with its own config file and documentation. So, here it is, the most full-featured web server available: (26 megs total!) According to Netcraft (http://www.netcraft.com/whats/?host=jm.netrevolution.com): "jm.netrevolution.com is running Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) (NetRevolution Advanced Server/Linux-Mandrake) mod_ssl/2.4.1 OpenSSL/0.9.4 mod_perl/1.21 Midgard/1.2 ApacheJServ/1.0 mod_fastcgi/2.2.2 DAV/0.9.9 AuthPostgreSQL/0.7.1 PHP/3.0.12 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 on Linux" I am planning to package this product, the Advanced Extranet Server, as an add-on CD for Mandrake. It's definitely not something that we should release as part of Cooker or Cassini, since it doesn't target the same userbase. Now, it's missing a few things before it can compete with offerings from other vendors: Webalizer/Analog, Heitml, Rearsite, shopping carts, online payment processing and web-mail software, like IMP and Mailman. Also, we need to work out a license with RSA to be able to distribute it in the US. These are things that will be worked out in the next weeks. In the meantime, you can download and test the following packages on: http://coruscant.netrevolution.com/pub/NEW Jean-Michel Dault [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The latest version 1.3.17pl9-2mdk doesn't... I'd like when in half a second dhcpcd said "You IP : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"... Was faster than pump... =) Gregus

Erm, well, in fact, just pressed "reset", and it seems that some good mind
has think to clear the remaining files in the /var/run directory before we
start dhcpcd. So I sucessfully got an IP. Forget about my heavy patch. =)
Anyway, the "-i" parameter is useless.

Hi! XFree86-3.3.5 is released. Gregus
[Cooker] Bug in initscripts 30mdk (dhcpcd call)
Hi!
Thanks Axalon for your quick reaction to my big provocation! (I was sure
that saying Microsoft would give something! =))
Anyway, the new /sbin/ifup would be *even* better if instead of :
if [ -n "$DHCP" ]; then
echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE via dhcpcd..."
if /sbin/dhcpcd -i $DEVICE -h $HOSTNAME ; then
echo " done."
else
echo " failed."
exit 1
fi
We were doing a test to avoid the message that says that there is already a
"/var/run/dhcpcd-${DEVICE}.pid" file. The problem is that if your computer
crashes, the "/sbin/ifdown ${DEVICE}" is not deleted, and thus on the
reboot, you don't get any IP.
I mean : if your PC crashes, it is like running twice "/sbin/ifup eth0". On
the second time, you don't get any IP.
I think that you could do :
if [ -n "$DHCP" ]; then
if [ -f /var/run/dhcpcd-${DEVICE}.pid ]; then
OLD_PID=`cat /var/run/dhcpcd-${DEVICE}.pid`
kill `ps ax|grep dhcpcd|grep $OLD_PID|cut -b 1-5`
rm -f /var/run/dhcpcd-${DEVICE}.pid
fi
echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE via dhcpcd..."
if /sbin/dhcpcd -h $HOSTNAME $DEVICE ; then
echo " done."
else
echo " failed."
exit 1
fi
Please see also the change in the call of dhcpcd. The "-i" parameter isn't
the same as for "pump". It doesn't describe the name of the interface
(Please see "man dhcpcd").
Thanks for staying cool while I wasn't... Correct the above and I promise
that I'll never bother you with dhcpcd again. =)

It seems that you are completely missing what is the problem. The FACT is that you have two programs in Cooker that basically do the same thing : - one is called "pump" - the other is called "dhcpcd" Those programs are used when you want to get an IP adress from the server of your provider, using a cable-modem and the DHCP protocol. YOU DON'T CHOOSE YOUR CABLE PROVIDER. THERE IS ONLY ONE IN THE TOWN. If he is running NT on his servers, and you are running Mdk60 which use the "pump" program to get the IP, and that it fails 50% of the time, what can you do? Nothing.

Listen, Axalon : "pump" is **NOT** DHCP compliant, and MANY PEOPLE have problems with it. Pump works for you? Very fine. Do you consider that this is a sufficient reason to let it as the default DHCP client in the next Mandrake? Don't you think that DHCPCD could work just as fine for you, just as it worked in Mandrake 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 ? If this is what you think, then there is probably a job for you at Microsoft. Gregus

You don't even need to have X11 running to send a SIGUSR1 signal to the font server; what did yo utyped exactly ?

thanks i alredy found it. It's /usr/sbin/ttfmkdir but this doesn't work very well. It didn't create a font.dir because it didn't like some of the fonts.

All modules are coming great! All compile fine as a DSO, good spec files, automatic install/configuration/restart apache automatic, etc. I just have to sleep a bit and I'll finish my upload. Right now the basic packages are perfect and MySQL is there.

If so then pgcc is an optional and everyone should use gcc. If not, gcc is left for compatibility and stability (probably compiling some big project like the linux kernel with an experimental-unstable compiler like pgcc has always been could not work). -- Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem...

Re: [Cooker] **LATEST** MySQL re-distributable!!!! Hurray!
The license says you have the right to distribute it on CD. If they don't install it by default, they respect the license. We can ship it on the CD, but don't put it in the "comps" file. So even if they install everything, it won't be installed unless they install it afterwards.

If they need to pay each time stuff to MySQL isn't not ok. Jacques.
