[Cooker] LOCALES
I'm not able to solve the problem with LOCALES. This is one of the strange things: In RedHat 6.0 and Mandrake 6.0, 6.1 I have an RPM database containing some LOCALIZED groups. E.G. "Development" is present also in italian as "Sviluppo" Now, using gnorpm I can't see anyone of the packages included in GCC 2.95.1, after reinstalling ( forcing overwrite ) I can see them in Development-Languages. After a reboot the GCC packages is disappeared. Recompiled GCC ( for i686 ) from the source and reinstalled, now all is in Development-Languages, but I have to try a reboot... Re-run "locale" display "it" for all fields but generate a core dump with -a switch. At the moment I'm recompiling glibc-2.1.2. Bye Alessandro

I prefer the old image which allows us to use the hard disk as well. Although, the upgrade does not work for the hard disk installation, there is a work around solution. It is very cumbersome to make a disk image and then burn a CD. Especially sometimes the disk image is greater than 650MB. Thanks, Edmond You must have just missed the latest boot.img. It has been fixed and now allows a hd install. Try downloading another one. You talk about graphic install(AKA-dead: panoramix) or new-newt install ? for new-newt install i have uploaded a new boot.img who might fix the problem (yes tested).

Re: [Cooker] can't start gdm
Yes, I have been using XDM, because gdm did not work, since long before the last, and previous to last gnome updates. As I said before, I suspect there is a problem in the XFree86 packages. If I install gdm from rawhide the problem also occurs, but since gdm works fine on rawhide, the problem must be somewhere else. --- Axalon Bloodstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Really? it was working fine here before the last round of gnome updates, when i uploaded the new gdm.

[Cooker] Re: [CHRPM] NAME: pine VER: 4.20 REL: 1mdk
Hi I installed the pine 4.20 and encountered the following problem. I don't think the problem is related to the rpm, I rather think, that pine 4.20 might be buggy. If I get a new mail and start pine the message is marked as new. That's still okay. I then read it and it is marked as read. I quit pine and start it again, and the message is marked again as new. I tried it a few times and everytime it's the same. The /var/spool/mail directory is a local drive. If I try this on a client in the network with nfs mounted /var/spool/mail this doesn't happen. This happened with the rpm I made by myself, so I thought that it was my fault, but the same happens with the cooker rpm. Adrian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://42.fht-esslingen.de
