[Cooker] i810
Hi The installation of X for i810 card fails miserably both for 3.3.6 and 4.0. It detects the card, then trying to test the configuration is says 'some error occurred'. During configuration it cannot give me more resolution/depth combinations, which I know are valid. I guess that it forgets to load a special kernel module 'agpgart.o'. Also it would be great if the list of monitors contained some popular ones, like recent ViewSonics, its list seems to be obsolete. Alexander
[Cooker] Mandrake 7.1 issues
Just tried out the new beta and here are my observations: The main install screen is too big. I had to resize it with my monitor. When asking "Are you sure you are an expert?" it shouldn't say "...make powerfull but dangerous things here" but "...customize powerfull but dangerous things here" or "...make powerfull but dangerous decisions here". Is it supposed to highlight grub and lilo for choosing a bootloader? Do they work together or are they mutually exclusive? "Unable to get hdlist-crypto.cz2" when trying to download crypto stuff. Should that be ".bz2" maybe? When testing X in the install, it starts the X server ok (I'm assuming it was using XFree 4.0), but when I click that it's ok, it doesn't put me back into the original video mode. Using an ATI Xpert98 video card here (Mach64). On the other hand, I *really* like the new installer. A lot nicer than the one in 7.0, good work! And I like the new GNOME splash screen. But you need to put in that weather applet like helix gnome has (dunno what it's called, kweather maybe?). Sorry... here it says GNOME Weather. I live by this thing! So far so good.

[Cooker] Bugs in 7.1 install
Hi,
I tried installing 7.1 and failed to get it to work.
Try #1.
I already have Mandrake 7.0 installed, so I decided to install the beta on
another partition(i have a 27Gig 7200RPM IDE Maxtor on a K7M MB with an
onboard UDMA 66). The drive partitioned fine but the installer refused to
proceed with mesages("Mount point /dev/hda10 does not exist) or something of
that sort. No matter what I did, nothing seemed to work
Try #2
I decided to updgrade so I choose a Custom installation class, indicated my
root partion and installed. I picked HD optimisation and continued. The
upgrade took me 6 hours(thats ridiculous on an Athlon 600) and after that the
font server refused to work.

make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/include
and remove this from the install.sh file:
#
# Build the driver.
#
make || {
echo Build error
exit 1
}
The running kernel and the sources need to be the same version.
You also need to remove all Mesa stuff on you machine.
Joust use the GLX rpm, it should work.
And add this to you XF86Config-4 file.
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
and change this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForce256Pro"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
to this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForce256Pro"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
now you should be able to run Q3 and other GL applications.
The drivers dos not work with out problems yet, i loose my icon
transparency when i turn on the glx drivers.
So joust out comment this:
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
when you don't need the glx drivers.

[Cooker] What's happened to Gnome ?
Help ! I've just installed several files from the cooker, including things like rootfiles, mandrake_desk etc. On launching Gnome I find that every application, that has a tree, is suffering from the following : The tree item text is in a small bold font, Every tree item has a thin grey line along its top and bottom edge. All Gnome apps. seem to be using the small bold font in lists, trees and menus. However only trees appear to be bounded by thin grey lines. This even happens when running a Gnome app. in KDE. I cannot find the file(s) / utility that allows font setting and / or 'tree looks' in Gnome, I assume it was overwritten by one of the cooker files I downloaded last night Please tell me how to get the nice looking Gnome desktop back again ! Thanks, Owen

you're right.
eg:
add_kernel($prefix, $lilo, '2.0.36', 'old',
{
label => 'old kernel',
root => "/dev/$root",
});
would add an entry for /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36old
be carefull to ensure the package containing that kernel is installed (or it's a
nop)

Re: [Cooker] Megaraid not found
I had to relinquish the machine to other testing... It has an AIC7xxx SCSI controller for its two CD-R drives and SCSI tape drive. The 5 18GB RAID array is on a MegaRAID controller. It boots from floppy (using the cdrom.img) and scans the AIC7xxx, finds both CD-R drives and asks which one to install from. It goes into stage two and asks whether I have any other SCSI controllers besides the AIC7xxx, and I select the MegaRAID. I only see the "megaraid.o" related message for an instant... then I can't find it again on any virtual console. Sorry I couldn't get more detail...

[Cooker] installkernel doesn't like Grub
I just installed the latest mdk kernel.

But vmlinuz-* is located on my boot partition, which is hd0,0. The path (hd0,3)/boot/ will not function because the boot partition isn't mounted under (hd0,3)/ at this time.

Some of the modules that are automatically loaded from a xf86config generated XF86Config file were missing in the XFdrake gernerated config file. So what is the effect of this?

My xf86config gernerated module section look like ## Section "Module" # This loads the DBE extension module.

[Cooker] 7.1 install does not deliver a usable system
>From your mirror at aarnet I have so far attempted two 7.1 beta installs on two different machines, each of which already has a 100% running Mandrake 7.0-2 partition. Both are Custom, install, Development. The first delivered an unacceptable result, the second crashed during install. Details below: 1. Was done a couple of days ago. This is a gateway machine with two NICs. The other machine on the LAN could not be pinged after install completed. /etc/hosts is NOT set up by the install. Taking this into account, a ping to the actual IP address was tried and also failed. "An error occurred" (without bothering to say what error) during setup of X which could not be overcome. Video card is bog standard Matrox G200, monitor Hyundai 17B+. Conclusion: Unacceptable. 2. This was done just now from the aarnet mirror, which had been updated by some 100 or so replacement RPMs, etc. 20 minutes in, immediately after the installation of kdebase-1.1.2-53mdk.i586.rpm a small dialog popped up File: missing header file. This dialog is bad because it shows the names of neither the RPM nor the missing file. It was impossible to proceed. Conclusion: Mandrake had not tested install against the updated beta. Shockingly, no announcement to beta testers had been made that the beta was to be, and had been, updated. -- Regards, Ron. [AU] - sent by Linux.
[Cooker] (MDK7-Alpha) Minor bugs installing, packages that should be there.
I just installed Mandrake 7.0 for Alpha, and here's a list of what's been
wrong:
* DiskDrake crashed when I clicked on the empty space on the raid
device to create a partition, saying "cannot read 'num_cyls' on an
unblessed reference" or something to that effect (I now wish I had paid
more attention). The MD device was made of two, approximately 2GB
partitions, one each on /dev/sdb1 and on /dev/sdc1, or both on /dev/sdb5
and /dev/sdc5 (which are DiskDrake's defaults, for some reason, always
creating an extended partition even when there is no primary)
* I received a warning of some sort about space ("A full install
needs 1302mb, but that's okay"), or something to that effect.
* I installed a bunch of packages that I felt were missing, mostly
from RedHat 6.2, if not, from RedHat Powertools 6.2 or HelixCode
* sudo
* krb5-*
* krbafs-*
* pam-0.72-6
* pam_krb5-1-7
* mpg123-0.59r-4
* rpm-*-3.0.4-0.48
* smpeg-*-0.3.1-2
* all the HelixCode GNOME stuff, which, by the way, rocks.
* gob, from the author, so their gnome-pilot RPM
ould build.
* mikmod-3.1.6-6 from RedHat, because the Helix XMMS won't
build against the mandrake mikmod/libmikmod
packages
* sound was never configured (I have a nice simple AD 1848 card,
too... nice and easy to find), so I installed, from RedHat 6.2:
* awesfx-0.4.3a-3
* sndconfig-0.44-1
* playmidi-2.4-9
All in all, fairly painless install... no "problems" (ie: can't boot),
just the weirdness with the hard drives was the big one (I just made the
raid array after install, then moved /home to it)... Now to find SSL and
SSH SRPMs that will actually build on an alpha...
Oh, and just a note... the fact that Postfix is installed by default over
Sendmail is a stroke of genius. Thank you. (I always download it and
install it on my RedHat systems, this first shot at Mandrake was
great! It's the way things "Should be done" mostly)

The config files are incompatible between these two Xfree releases. You need the generate a new XF86Config file via xf86config. Don't use the Draktools for generating config files for XFree86 4.0.

[Cooker] Upgrade 7.1b notes
I've got a cooker mirror of cooker now, and upgraded successfully via both network and hd installs. Fairly smooth although the usual mess of problems with upgrading, which I mostly put down to having a system which was hacked since the last vanilla install (7.0 this time). Just in case not, quick catalogue: - strange thing when selecting packages: double clicked on a particular package (sorry, forgotten which one, three quarters of way down) and install process gave an error dialog "error: no package should provide a base package" and then proceeded immediately into upgrade. Once upgrade had finished, I was returned to install package stage. - gnome-network wasn't installed automatically - XFree86 4 configuration failed: repeated error messages about having to change a choice of card, resolution, but selecting the right operation failed each time. Fixed on startup: problem with font server not being installed/upgraded/running. server-common package was missing - gnome-iconedit 1.0.6-1 compiled against old gdk_pixbuf - can't get ppp to work any more. kppp complains about device ppp0 being missing. I have an /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ippp0 file. Linking ppp0 -> ppp in /dev doesn't help. Any suggestions? Cheers, - David.

[Cooker] xinitrc and kernel packages
Hi guys, Some points about the two packages: xinitrc - Out of sync with the WindowMaker package again. WindowMaker has been moved back to /usr/X11R6/bin, but RunWM expects it in /usr/bin. kernel - Is there no way to remove dependencies from packages that currently require this? In the pre-install perhaps? Or perhaps creating a dummy package set that fools other RPMs? Some of use are not using the Mandrake kernels, I'm on 2.3.99-pre6 series and pretty much can't go back to 2.2.x without some major work. I'd like to dump the Mandrake kernel packages, but I can't without hacking a bunch of spec files. Just some thoughts.

oh. i shold have attached a spec file (or at least a spec diff) but i
didn't because i wasn't working on my box, and while i had access to
mail, my return address won't be right because of how pine behaves.
anyways, i
- added a url for the source
- added a url for the package
- changed the location of files because stuff don't go in /usr/local
(you must have been working too much on debian :)
and i added a missing buildrequires. bluefish is gtk based ...you need
gtk+-devel to cpmpile.
anyway i'm just waiting for lenny to get my src rpm from /incoming so
that we can recompile and release 2mdk.

[Cooker] Missing desktop icons in Gmc (GNOME)
Hi, I downloaded the ISOs for Hydrogen and updated my installation to the latest packages. The desktop icons in GNOME are still showing the default bare icons even after removing the .gnome-desktop directory and restarting Gmc. Is this being worked on? Regards, Michèl Salim
[Cooker] (MDK7-USPARC) undefined symbol in libreadline -> can't exec SWAT
I've just installed Mandrake 7.0/USparc on a Sun Ultra 1... (The install from CD-ROM didn't work -problem already reported- and I completed the install from HTTP instead). Just after that, I wanted to test Samba as usual, so I configured inetd to run SWAT but... SWAT didn't work. When I try to exec the binary "by hand" I get : [root@merlin /etc]# /usr/sbin/swat /usr/sbin/swat: error in loading shared libraries: /lib/libreadline.so.3: undefined symbol: BC What do you think ? Sébastien.

yes i know, but it's funny, since i've had no problems compiling on a

Re: [Cooker] Suggestions & ISDN
A. Mdk 7.0 & ISDN card setup My ISDN Elsa Quickstep 1000 Pro PCI: Bus 1, device 6, function 0 Network Controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 1) Vendor id = 1048. Device id = 1000.

Non prefetchable. 32 bit memory at 0xfe7fff80. i/o at 0xac00 [0xac01] i/o at 0xafe4 [0xafe5] Problem fixed by changing definitions in: /etc/isdn/profile/card/mycard (actually this file is self-explanatory as all necessary parameters for each ISDN card supported are explained in this file). I reckon a manual selection of the ISDN card during install would be nice :-) with an automatic setup of this "mycard" file. B. Software --- Could we have "ripperX" (Mp3 encoding) in the distro?
