Following a hint from Civileme, I have now successfully traced the problem to the existence of hidden .directory files in the FAT32 partition to be mounted.

Re: [Cooker] How to test DSL? (BellAtlantic ADSL with PPPoE)
Thanks for the response. As it turns out, after having no luck finding any PPPoE utilities within Oxygen, I dug around and found a fantastic PPPoE driver for linux over at: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe.html The great thing about this driver is (a) it doesn't require a kernel patch/recompile and (b) it takes about 10 minutes to read the README, run the make, edit your PAP file, and starting using the driver to surf the web! The directions in the included HOWTO were clear and concise. Definately the easiest way to get up and running with DSL and Linux. Kudos to the folks over at RoaringPenguin. Performance is excellent- when DL'ing from fast sites, I'm getting the maximum throughput possible through my 640kbit connection. As an aside, Mandrake would be well served to include an easy way (GUI off their HW control panel??) to set up PPPoE with their distro-- most of the big Telcos are using it for DSL (for better or worse...).

3.3.6 works fine, I applied this patch to the Mach64 server which removed

[Cooker] Weird bugs
Hello all, I would first like to say that the mandrake team is doing a great job. I'm no linux expert but version 7.0 is really nice. I do have some bugs or weird behavior to report. I just installed the beta release today. The current installation that I have was done with the customize install and not the expert install. I have gotten the same symptoms with an expert install though. First, when I login to the system as root, it won't let me shutdown. I type shutdown -r now and I get the error message: No authorized users are logged in. Ctrl-alt-del gives me the same message Second, I have a Diamond Supra Express 336 PNP ISA Voice modem which I believe should work under linux (I have another modem but it's a winmodem, we don't need to talk about that). Lothar doesn't find it and when I shutdown X and go to the console I get this message: An ISA PnP Card has been found but hasn't been indentified. Thirdly, I have a Creative PCI 128 Sound card. Lothar detects it as a Ensoniq ES1371 but no sounds play through the card. The model number on the card is CT4750. As I said before I am no expert at linux but I do in know my way around the system in general so if anybody needs more info about my system (hardware, config files) let me know what and about where to get it and I'll get it for you. Thanks and keep up the good work. Dennis

Unfortunately, the only tool that does the job properly is rsync -vrlt --delete --partial (--delete deletes local files that are no longer on the server). Read man rsync. The oxygen beta server and its mirrors are extremely dynamic and someone is adding or replacing about 100 rpms a day , or more, sometimes.

Pristine, as installed: DOS_hda2 FAT32 DOS_hda5 FAT32 DOS_hda6 FAT32 DOS_hda7 FAT32 DOS_hda8 FAT32 DOS_hdd5 FAT16 cdrom disk floppy hd Previous tests: I can manually mount things in other places and KFM navigates them just fine. Removing all the supermounts proved that the problem is not supermount-related. After marking all the hda lines in /etc/fstab as noauto and rebooting, KFM shows the /mnt directory correctly. Mounting /dev/hda6 in a terminal window works. Navigating into hda6 in terminal window works fine. umounted hda6 in terminal window. Using the desktop icons to mount: hda2 OK hda5 OK hda6 hangs KFM! Ctrl+Alt+F2, then Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Using Partition Magic 5.0 to examine this partition: No errors found. Reboot Oxygen and mount via icons but in a different order: hda6 - mounts, clicking on mount point produces blank window and KFM is now hung. Boot up Win 98 SE: Look at E: (hda6) with Explorer. Fine. Thorough Scandisk of E: - Fine. Boot PM 5.0 from floppy again: C is 588.3 Mb FAT32 D is 1051.1 Mb FAT32 E is 627.5 Mb FAT32 F is 447.1 Mb FAT32 G is 604.0 Mb FAT32 So it is not a size problem. Boot Oxygen again: click-mount from Dos_hda7 icon - KFM freezes. Make a Ctl+Alt+F2 terminal. umount /dev/hda7 - busy. Exercise mounting hda6 and hda8 to their defined mount points and looking inside the partition - no problems. umount both - OK. Tried a new File System Device D - mounts OK, but any attempt in KFM to navigate into it freezes KFM. Looking at /root/Desktop/D.kdelink: All the comment[xx] lines are missing. There is no field in the Properties dialog for entering a comment, (which becomes the tooltip). The # lines in the installed device kdelink files are missing from this one. Conclusion: The problem is located in KFM (Gnome or command line do not exhibit this problem) . Mandrake 6.1 (kdebase-1.1.2-9mdk) has no problem.Oxygen (kdebase-1.1.2-30mdk) has this problem somewhere in these 21 more patch levels done by MandrakeSoft.

Whan printing with ghostscript the main problem is in fact to have the Postscript file link to / include the proper fonts.

[Cooker] Pulling down oxygen from rpmfind.net
Is it just me, or have numerous RPMs disappeared from rpmfind.net? I have tried for several days to pull down the complete beta with no success, as I keep getting "file not found" errors. I was about 100 files away from complete download when (e.g. xmms*.rpm) suddenly disappeared. Can anyone confirm this?

[Cooker] missing Enlightenment default themes?
The enlightenment RPM used to have the Shiny-metal and Brushed-Metal-Tigert themes bundled with it, the current RPM's have these missing.

Things get fixed one at a time (actually things might get fixed 4 or 5 or whatever at a time depending on the number of developers) and not all at once. You can complain if it's not fixed, after Mandrake 7 does ship. Jim Bradley -- Maryville, MO USA ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: [Cooker] on board sis 620 and mandrake 6.1 or 6.5
I have the same video/motherboard combo. I am currently running, Cooker with audio/video/networking all functioning fine. I had a very difficult time getting the networking module working. I popped a new (Intel Pro) into one of the pci slots and everything works just great. I highly reccomend that you download and use the Suse X-server for SIS. It makes X faster, more stable, and more responsive than the standard SVGA X-server. Also, OSS provides sound drivers (if you feel you need them) for the Cmedia 1838 chip.

Pristine, as installed: DOS_hda2 FAT32 DOS_hda5 FAT32 DOS_hda6 FAT32 DOS_hda7 FAT32 DOS_hda8 (is actually an HPFS partition) DOS_hdd5 FAT16 cdrom disk floppy hd Odd, but hda9 through 13 are also HPFS but are not in /etc/fstab. Bug Report: DrakX-supplied /etc/fstab specifies hda8 as vfat, which is incorrect. Idea! I deleted the /dev/hda8 line from /etc/fstab and rebooted - KFM still hangs on /mnt. /dev/hda8 is not in the mount list. Previous tests: I can manually mount things in other places and KFM navigates them just fine. Removing all the supermounts proved that the problem is not supermount-related. After marking all the hda lines in /etc/fstab as noauto and rebooting, KFM shows the /mnt directory correctly. Using the desktop icons to mount: hda2 OK hda5 OK hda6 hangs KFM! Using Partition Magic 5.0 to examine this partition: No errors found. Reboot Oxygen and mount via icons but in a different order: hda6 - mounts, clicking on mount point produces blank window and KFM is now hung. Boot up Win 98 SE: Look at E: (hda6) with Explorer. Fine. Thorough Scandisk of E: - Fine. Boot PM 5.0 from floppy again: C is 588.3 Mb FAT32 D is 1051.1 Mb FAT32 E is 627.5 Mb FAT32 F is 447.1 Mb FAT32 G is 604.0 Mb FAT32 So it is not a size problem. Boot Oxygen again: click-mount from Dos_hda7 icon - KFM freezes. Make a Ctl+Alt+F2 terminal. umount /dev/hda7 - busy. Exercise mounting hda6 and hda8 to their defined mount points and looking inside the partition - no problems. umount both - OK. Conclusion: The problem is located in KFM (Gnome or command line do not exhibit this problem) . Mandrake 6.1 (kdebase-1.1.2-9mdk) has no problem.Oxygen (kdebase-1.1.2-30mdk) has this problem somewhere in these 21 more patch levels. This is a show-stopper problem. -- Regards, Ron.

The XFree86 has japenese keyboard layout maping. I change Keyboard Section of the "XF86Config" file then I can use japanese keyboad layout on X-WindowSystem. - the setting of Keyboard Section of the "XF86Config" (where I changed only!!) XkbModel"jp106" XkbLayout "jp" --- But on the console mode, I can't use Japanese keyboard layout. I dont have japanese keymap for console, exactly I don't know that which file is keymap of the Japense keyboards. However, we can use Japenese keymap (jp106) on Mandrake Linux 6.1. So, I think there are keymap of the Japense keyboards in Mandrake Linux 6.1 CD-ROM (also in Mandrake 7.0). If I find that file, then I will send that file or file infomation to you. Thank you!!

But This is my hardware configuration: Intel pentium II 350 MHz 96 MB Ram Sis 6326 (video-board) Philips 107 MB (monitor) Adaptec AVA-2904 SCSI adapter with 2 CD connected The installation begins in text mode (like release 6.1) but with very ugly colors...(it's not important for me). When the prompt asks me where are locared the installation files and I select CDROM driver (are there), the installation program is not able to mount CDROM file system and the program is stalled until I press crtl+c. After I press ctrl+c the installtion program displays Kernel Panic Can't mount file system of ... device. I hope that my report is helpfully to improve the Mandrake 7.0 distribution.

Hi, With the current version of oxygen (as of *now* on ftp.sunet.se) , Xconfigurator and SuperProbe fails to identify the onboard graphics chip on a intel CA810AEL motherboard. On the latest release note of xfree there is some kind of note that the i810 is supported by not enabled by default, I am unable to find any more usefull documentation regarding the i810. -- Niklas Paulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Administrator at Dept. of Informatics, Göteborgs University "Linux isn't just an operating system: It's a way of life." - Andrew Leonard - Salon Magazine
[Cooker] et keymap again
Tere: There are still problems with console keymaps for Estonian keyboard. In some mysterious reasons tries Mandrake use file /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ee-latin9.kmap.gz instead of /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/et.kmap.gz (which corresponds to ET keyboard layout standard. Below is excerpt from startup log: - Loading /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ee-latin9.kmap.gz unknown keysym `Multi_key' /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ee-latin9.kmap.gz:92: parse error syntax error in map file key bindings not changed - Quick fix was removing Multi_key definition.

[Cooker] How to test DSL? (BellAtlantic ADSL with PPPoE)
I just joined the cooker list a few days ago for purposes of testing new DSL functionality with the latest Mandrake Beta ISO. I DL'ed, burned, and installed the latest Mandrake ISO. However, I haven't found any information about what I should be testing (ie. what executables/modules are DSL-related?). What should I be looking at? Also, are there any BellAtlantic ADSL subscribers out there who have got PPPoE working properly with Mandrake who can point me in the right direction? I have an ethernet card working with an external ADSL modem. Thanks for any help! -Jeff
[Cooker] Bugs report
Some bugs in the mandrake-beta 7.0 : 1) I used Lothar sound-config to configure my Maxi Sound 64( module CS4232). It was configured correctly except for the midi ! In conf.modules was well added an entry "options opl3 io 0x388" .but no "alias midi opl3". I added it. 2) I installed Mandrake without problems (maybe it should easier to step back in the Installation options ...) but no Graphic Rpm manager was installed ... I installed RpmDrake .DrakConf was not installed ... I installed it. I don't remember well the options i had chosen during the installation ... sorry. 3) Printer problems : I choose a printer during the installation and decide to give it another name than "lp" ... Later when I try to use it It doesn't work ! Lpr is by default trying to find a printer called "lp" ... I read the man page about lpr and try to change the Environnement variable $PRINTER they are talking about ... no way ... I had to change the name of my printer to "lp" or use the command lpr -P the_name_of_my_printer ... Maybe a cleaner solution would be a good idea. 4) I suppose you had the good idea to change the ide cdwriters to scsi-emulations to allow writing with xcdroast and so on . Very well . It's told to the kernel to use ide-scsi for hdd. -> it becomes sr0. But the /dev/cdrom2 still links hdd. I had to change for sr0 and to make a modprobe ide-scsi at boot. 5) A little error ... With KDE an icon on the root desktop links /home/baudens 6) I wanted to change a bit my keyboard configuration .So i changed the /etc/X11/xinit/Xmodmap. But it changed nothing ... In fact it was because in the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession it was written "sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap" instead of "sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/Xmodmap". 7) Some links missing in the menus : xcdroast, gnome-toaster,lothar-soundconfig,etherconfig ... 8) The package gtk-engines maybe should be installed by default with Gnome. 9) Wine-991212-1 package is given without a good wine.conf. 10) the gsu.0.9-2 package is corrupted : it's only 1kb. 11) xmms-skins-0.9.5.1-7 installs well the skins but only root can use them because the skins are zipped and noraml users can't unzip them them in /tmp. Don't know why ? 12) problem with gcc : when I run ./configure of a program I want to compile, it tells me "gcc can't create executables problen with installation or configuration." . Maybe I must install other packages with gcc-2.95.2-3 and bin-utils-2.95.0-16. Well I hope it will help you But your distribution is already great with these little bugs ... Verdeyen Boris,belgium.

The XFree 3.3.5 on those distributions (which are really the same one marketed differently) handles the 530 and 620 chipsets and the 6326 very well indeed. On a few boards it is necessary to turn off video acceleration, but those are mainly poor implementations of the 6326. Civileme
