Re: [Cooker] still no go on hd.img (another recent rsync)

lol, i've got roughly 20 gb of data on it. ..unless i can borrow an extra 20gb
drive from somebody??? lol

no i did not have to use that s/w.  matter of fact all newer hdd's do not
require that (or cannot even use it).  most of the hdd's or already preformat
anyways.  when partitioning, i just use partition magic.   never had this
problem before.  i'm guessing (sigh, again) that it's probabely just because
it's with the hd.imgprobabely something missing between it and the cdrom
install iso.  (missing driver.not able to find the proper module settings
etc...).  

*remember!  this is a newer model hdd!

all of my older hdd's are able to use the hd.img diskette.  go figure.

 Hi Roger
 I need to ask you how you partitioned your hard drive. Because if you 
 partitioned your hard drive through the western digital software, it is 
 unlikely your unix based operating system (Linux) will be able to see. My 
 advice is to see whether you can reformat it with DOS. Let me know if this 
 helps. If this was not the case, then I am sorry I will not be able to help

 enter some specifics on my ide hdd (it's not scsi but did see some options 
 on
 "ide" specific drives after pressing the scsi button on hd.img)?
 
 it's one of the new western digitals.  maybe it's not finding it??  but the
 install from iso or net.img works fine.
 
 any other options to getting this hd.img to find my partitions?

RE: [Cooker] Nobody can figure out why sndconfig hangs up on me

2000-02-21 Thread Don Head

Just as a note, in Red Hat/Mandrake systems, /etc/modules.conf is actually
/etc/conf.modules.

Also, the ESS 1868 is not neccessarily an Ensonique card.  The ESS 1868 is
made by the people at http://www.esstech.com/.  ESS Technology != Ensonique.

 Hi everyone.

 The lpr rpm in Mandrake 7.0 is buggy; no one but root may print!!  (Note
 that this same rpm is in the current Mandrake Cooker release, so I'm not
 totally off-topic here. ;)

 In case anyone's interested in the error message (and hasn't read the
 newsgroup alt.os.linux.mandrake recently) it's:

 lpr: cannot open printer description file

 ..when you type "lpr" on the commandline.  I have high security-level
 turned on, but I don't think this should be a problem.  (And if it is,
 why isn't it documented..?!?)



I'm running Mandrake 7.0, the only distribution which will let me on the
internet, but  it joins all the other  RH and Manrake distros after 5.2 in
not configuring my ESS 1868 sound card.  As far as I get is when It tells
me what it is. If I'm in an xterm window, it just shuts off after I hit
OK.  If I'm at the consol, it gives me a blue screen and hangs there
forever.  As referenced above, RH 5.2 did configure this same sound card
with no problems on the same machine.  Here's the details:
CTX Pentium MMX 233/64
DSL connection which works
Audio Card is Ensoniqe ESS 1868

I tried suggestions from Linuxcare which didn't do anythng.
Here's some of the stuff I was told that didn't do anything

You can also try using the following command to install the
sound
module.
#/sbin/modprobe sb

I am not sure that the normal soundblaster setting
 will work, or at least they didn't with my ESS 18XX chipset.
If
that doesn't work try this.

 add the following line to /etc/modules.conf :
 options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 mpu_io=0x330

 then do a:

 /sbin/modprobe -r sb

I didn't find anything that was exactly /etc/modules.conf
I look in the /etc from the xterm and even from pico, it isn't there.

Why is this not working?
Would it make a difference if I installed an "authentic" Soundblaster 16
sounc card?

What can I do?

Thanks

 H.  That seems like a shortsight.
 
  You know however the it is a correct version; so you can use --nodeps;
  you have no choice indeed.
 
 This is ugly.
 
  The *.spec file of kernel building is wrong; all "Provide:

  must be changed to "Provide: kernel", no versioning can be used on
  the Provide: line
 
 OK.  Is this going to be fixed in the Mandrake kernel RPM then?
 
  To chmou: I think the right way to handle that will be to have those
  packages
  just provide "kernel" (as they should) then patch rpm so for any
  "provides"
  it takes the version number of the package, when checking version
  numbers.
 
 That sounds like a good idea.
 
  Because they don't provide kernel = 2.2.5, they provide a strange
  thing 
  called "kernel=2.2.14" 
 
 OK, I think I get this.  The =, =, etc. operators are not really
 operators on a Provides: line.  They are just more characters in the
 opaque string "kernel=2.2.14" feature that the package provides.  That
 sucks.  :-)
 
  As you have no package that provides "kernel" then any package
  requiring
  it will fail.
 
 Even worse, I have no package that provides the opaque feature "kernel
 = 2.2.5" so packages that are written to Require: kernel = 2.2.5 will
 not work.  This seems very unworkable.  I don't think we should be
 putting single version specific strings like "= 2.2.5" in Requires:
 attributes.
 
 Comments?

it's a spec bug, it reads
Provides: kernel=%{version} module-info kernel-fb

it should read.
Provides: kernel = %{version} , module-info, kernel-fb

Shouldn't it?

[Cooker] Re: [CHRPM] libgtop-1.1.5-0.1mdk

2000-02-21 Thread Brian J. Murrell

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 --=-=-=
 Name: libgtop Distribution: Mandrake
 Version : 1.1.5 Vendor: MandrakeSoft
 Release : 0.1mdkBuild Date: Sun Feb 20 09:27:52 2000

When trying to upgrade my Cooker system to this package I get the
following dependancy errors:

error: failed dependencies:
libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.5 is needed by libgtop-1.1.5-0.1mdk
libgtop-1.1.so.3 is needed by gnome-utils-1.0.50-1mdk

libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3 is needed by gtop-1.0.6-1mdk
libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3 is needed by gnome-core-1.0.55-2mdk

Is it the intention that I should use --nodeps with this package or is
this a problem with packaging that should be resolved?  There will be
trouble on my box if I do this upgrade.  Right now I have the following
libraries installed:

/usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.3.0.0*
/usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.3.0.0*
/usr/lib/libgtop_names-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop_names-1.1.so.3.0.0*
/usr/lib/libgtop_suid_common-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop_suid_common-1.1.so.3.0.0*
/usr/lib/libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3@
/usr/lib/libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3.0.0*

and the new package will give me:

/usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/libgtop_names-1.1.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtop_names-1.1.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/libgtop_suid_common-1.1.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtop_suid_common-1.1.so.5.0.0

I think anything that is using the libgtop shared libraries is going to
break.  If we take "gtop" as an example, it has the following libgtop
requirements:

libgtop-1.1.so.3 = /usr/lib/libgtop-1.1.so.3 (0x403eb000)
libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3 = /usr/lib/libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.3 (0x403f2000)
libgtop_common-1.1.so.3 = /usr/lib/libgtop_common-1.1.so.3 (0x403fc000)

Note that gtop is compiled to want libgtop-1.1.so.3 not libgtop-1.1.so so
when I _replace_ my libgtop*-1.1.so.3 libraries with libgtop*-1.1.so.5
libraries gtop will break no?

I am thinking that one cannot really upgrade libgtop without also
upgrading gnome-utils, gtop and gnome-core.

Thots?

OK.  Should any RPMs get cut until it is all ready to go then?  I mean
if somebody were to burn a CD from Cooker today they would have
troubles.

 In the mean time either don't use -U (use
 -i), or don't pay attention to gnome stuff for a couple weeks :)

Well the only choice really is the latter, no?  The issue of using -i
and not using -U is only one of getting the package to actually install.
 Once you do install it (using -i --nodeps), you will break everything
that wants libgtop won't you?  Or will the two versions of the libraries
live together on the box, while all of the common files (like share,
doc, etc.) will get overwritten by the new version?

What happens if you force 1.1.5 on and then remove 1.1.3?  Does any file
that is the same name in both packages get removed with the 1.1.3
removal or is RPM smart enough to know that a given file, that was in
1.1.3 and then overwritten by 1.1.5 should not be removed when 1.1.3 is
removed (with rpm -e)?

  Yep. it's time for the month long rebuilding of gnome, goes from David
  to
  pablo to me and back and forth between me and pablo for the rest,
  takes
  awhile to get it all rebuilt.
 
 OK.  Should any RPMs get cut until it is all ready to go then?  I mean
 if somebody were to burn a CD from Cooker today they would have
 troubles.

well yeah libgtop won't install..
 
  In the mean time either don't use -U (use
  -i), or don't pay attention to gnome stuff for a couple weeks :)
 
 Well the only choice really is the latter, no?  The issue of using -i
 and not using -U is only one of getting the package to actually install.
  Once you do install it (using -i --nodeps), you will break everything
 that wants libgtop won't you?  Or will the two versions of the libraries
 live together on the box, while all of the common files (like share,
 doc, etc.) will get overwritten by the new version?

No. First off I never said to use nodeps. You want to install it along
side of the older version, breaking as little as posible in the mean
time. If you use nodeps you do not get told about the missing file
(tracking it down now) in libgtop-1.1.5-0.1mdk (libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.5),
it would be pretty much useless
 
 What happens if you force 1.1.5 on and then remove 1.1.3?  Does any file
 that is the same name in both packages get removed with the 1.1.3
 removal or is RPM smart enough to know that a given file, that was in
 1.1.3 and then overwritten by 1.1.5 should not be removed when 1.1.3 is
 removed (with rpm -e)?
 
 b.

You shouldn't have to force it, you would issue

rpm --test -ivv --replace-files libgtop-1.1.5-0.2mdk.i586.rpm
# install 1.1.5 overwriteing any common files

rpm --test -Uvv libgtop-devel-1.1.5-0.2mdk.i586.rpm
# replace the old devel with the new

Once all the files linked to older libs are updated, you issue

rpm --test -evv libgtop-1.1.3-Xmdk
# Remove the obsolete libs

Rpm will skip over the "common/newer" files when you erase the older
rpm. 

Bon?

Re: [Cooker] still no go on hd.img (another recent rsync)

2000-02-21 Thread Roger

not really cause i got the drakx finding all partitions.  (that was teh bug in
the partitioner prg in drakex - or whatever).

i've always, consistantly tried using the hd.img quite often..it's just
being a pain in the butt program.

mmm...never had a maxtor.

mmm...i'll try that.

  no i did not have to use that s/w.  matter of fact all newer hdd's do not
  require that (or cannot even use it).  most of the hdd's or already preformat
 
 It isn't the drive but the bios that has the problems, that would require
 translation software. And _all_ maxtors come unformated and unpartitioned,
 btw. 
 
  anyways.  when partitioning, i just use partition magic.   never had this
 
 Thats the answer to your problem partition magic is hideing the partition
 most likely :)
 
  problem before.  i'm guessing (sigh, again) that it's probabely just because
  it's with the hd.imgprobabely something missing between it and the cdrom
  install iso.  (missing driver.not able to find the proper module settings
  etc...).  
  
  *remember!  this is a newer model hdd!
  
  all of my older hdd's are able to use the hd.img diskette.  go figure.
 
 try finding the "cylinder limit" jumper and enableing it also

 Probably but your the first to report it on a mdk system, theres an

But I don't think this to be an "esd" problem though.  That was the
purpose of testing things like esdplay and xmms and finding them to be
working even though gnome sound did not work.

Any other ideas though?

 You want to install it along
