[Cooker] Re: Mesa / XFree4 (update)
Well, back to the drawing board! I just downloaded and compiled the DRI-CVS and everything went o.k. except there doesn't seem to be support for the 2.4 kernel yet (didn't leave me with the required mga.o after compile) - at least with my Matrox G400. I updated to the 2.4.0-0.8mdk kernel last night in preparation for dri because it wanted 2.3.51 - I assumed that newer would be better :( I guess the next step would be to download the 2.3.51 source and compile (could someone save me some time and point me to a 2.3.51mdk.rpm archive?)

[expert] Mandrake Forum News & Poll...
Hello everybody, several weeks ago we set up an experimental Mandrake web forum that was intended to get as many ideas as possible about what the future Linux-Mandrake systems should be. This forum was intended to have a very short life (one week). As those discussions were a frank success, this lead us to the idea that the users need to tell MandrakeSoft their feelings about Mandrake. That's the reason why we have: - reinstalled this system with a dedicated name [http://forum.mandrakesoft.com] - converted it into a general Mandrake news site where people can post stories like in Slashdot, and post comments I'm inviting you to take a look at it again, and especially to choose a new name for it. Several names are already available, such as: mandrakeforum.com or mymandrake.org. Which one do *you* prefer? Vote now on: http://forum.mandrakesoft.com Greets, Gael. PS Due to the recent new KDE2 beta packages that are available on the same server, the forum can be slow sometimes. -- < Gael DUVAL http://www.mandrake.com >

I've follow the thread about wuftpd and proftpd.
I remember that there were some postings about proftpd
last year in the bugtraq. But before I did search the

[Cooker] A Cooker install problem
Hi All, I am trying out Cooker. For that purpose i created a local copy of the cooker files from ftp.ciril.fr (used fmirror). So far so good. I shared this data out on my network with nfs (ro). When i now try and install it on a clean machine from scratch using the network.img floppy i run into problems when the installation of the packages starts. On the first 8 packages being installed i get the error mesage 'unable to read header of package ...'. The packages affected are: setup-2.1.9-13mdk filesystem-1.3.5-2mdk ldconfig-1.3.5-19mdk glibc-2.1.3-7mdk bdflush-1.5-15mdk cracklib-2.7-11mdk ctags-3.5.1-5mdk e2fsprogs-1.18-5mdk (I checked the rpm files and they seem to be ok) After that the errormessage is 'warning: missing header at /usr/bin/perl-install/pkgs.pm line 149.'. On the graphical screen there is now the message of an error and installation is halted. If i click ok on the error message i get back to the package selection screen. Anyone any clue ?

I'm going to try to keep a closer eye on when it is that it loses time - it may be that it's only when it's turned off and if that's the case then I suppose it may very well be the battery. I'll restart those services and watch the logs. Let me know how to proceed from the lspci thing. Thanks. Tom Korte

[Cooker] sftp, scp & ssh tunneling
FYI, maybe it is interesting for some of you: Besides sftp there are more methods for secure file-transfer: 1) Using "scp" of the ssh-package. 2) Use tunneling with ssh (needs local ssh-client and remote ssh-daemon). I also use ssh-tunneling for a kind of "secure-pop". Here's a sample .fetchmailrc: poll mail via localhost port 1243 with proto pop3: user my-login-name-remote pass my-remote-pop-password mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d my-login-name-local" keep preconnect "ssh -f -L 1243:139.6.1.1:110 139.6.1.1 sleep 10 /dev/null 2>&1"; have fun, Frank - Sending unsolicited commercial email to this address may be a violation of the Washington State Consumer Protection Act, chapter 19.86 RCW.

[Cooker] new kernels, dhcp, tokenring
Hi cookers, I have a Thinkpad 770X with Mandrake cooker always uptodate with the latest available rpm's. I need to use the pcmcia-tokenring from IBM. In the past all works perfectly for me until kernel 2.2.15-04-mdk (from Mandrake 7.1). With the startpoint of 2.2.16 kernels the pcmcia did not work with the ibmtr anymore - solution for me was: add install of the old kernel and all works well. Now since 2.2.17-kernels I allways get a kernel ups (crash) when the ibmtr does an dhcp-request. Now the circumvention with the old kernel also don't works anymore. The tokenring does a dhcp request but when the initialisation is done, no IP is available. The dhcp-request dies with: No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. With Win... it works! (No HW-probs), I worked also befor the latst dhcp-update. I have also tryed the new kernel 2.2.17-06 (with pcmcia compiled by myself because the pcmcia-files are missing) -> same result (kernel-crash). So I think there are some changes? or bugs? in the kernel/pcmcia since 2.2.15-04. I also think something is wrong or changed with the last dhcp-update (3.0b1pl15-1). Do I have to do some add. config-work ? Has anyone some suggestions how to get the TR working again with dhcp and the new kernels ?? Thanks in advance for any help. Udo

I've also upgraded to the latest hackkernel (2.4.0-0.8mdk) but when I try to run the mesa demos (did leave them installed) I get the following: gears: error in loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory I'm also missing libGLU.so.1 so I'm wondering if I should have kept the Mesa rpms?
