Re: [Cooker] 7.2 beta 2vt´s

Ah yes, but the startx script will always leave $display as :0 and happily
appends the :1, :2 or whatever to $serverargs. 

The real answer, I suppose, is to debug the script  :-)  but I haven't found
the time / inclination  !!!

What do you use for login (kdm, console,...) ? The owner of these

It sounds like your user account did not get setup properly.
I am doing my school work right now, so I am in windows.  I do not know off
the top of my head how to check user information.  The user may be listed,
but the password for that user may not be setup correctly.  I don't know
because I have never had the same problem as you.

[Cooker] xchat and KDE

[Matthew R. Sprague]

I have know Idea why this happens but here goes..
Fresh install of Mandrake 7.2
Start KDE
Start xchat for the first time
Gives warning about default dcc get directory
Promptly segfaults
Log out of KDE and log into Gnome
Start xchat -> works fine
Log out of Gnome and back into KDE
Start xchat -> no more segfault

Yep,

[dreami@neoblade dreami]$ rpm -qa|grep locales-sv

Re: [Cooker] SCRIPT: prersync.sh - For people on slow connections

[Allen Bolderoff]

Make sure you run this BEFORE running your rsync job.

it *will* save you heaps of time.

[Cooker] SCRIPT: prersync.sh - For people on slow connections

[Allen Bolderoff]

enclosed is a script that prechecks a list of RPM files at the Mirror Server, 
and your local hard drive.

it will rename local rpms to the name of the same (updated) file on the mirror 
server.

When it finds a file that it thinks has changed on the mirror server, it 
checks with you whether to rename that file locally.

ie:
zlib-devel-1.1.3-11mdk.i586.rpm
to zlib-devel-1.1.3-13mdk.i586.rpm


REASONING: 

rsync uses a checksum to see if parts of a file are common between existing 
files and remote files.

This only works when the file name is the same on both sides of the link.

What this script does, is ensures that if a file has only changed slightly, 
you do not download the whole thing all over again (due to the minor name 
change)

WARRANTY: etc

This script works for me.

It *is* a quick and nasty hack that I threw together.

It does contain security holes if you run it on a Multi User system.

It may/may not work for you.

I will take no responsibility if it eats your cat, munges files, starts WWIII, 
or otherwise does anything expected or unexpected.

LICENCE:

GPL 2.0

DO NOT complain to me if you have problems.

[expert] addksyms: Assertion `n_syms < 10000' failed

[root]

i am running linux-mandrake
7.0 complete
i am getting the above message everytime
i try to `make modules_install' after a successful compilation of my hackkernel-2.4.0-0.15mdk. 
i have already run `make modules' with no fatal errors.  but when
i try to install the modules, they do not load properly.  i ran the
command `make -is dep modules'.  again there were no fatal errors. 
i ran `make -s modules' without `-i', so that i would know if i was having
problems with the compilation, but there were none.  the complete
message is as follows;
depmod: depmod.c: 575: addksyms: Assertion
`n_syms < 1' failed
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 134
what is this message?
i have an AMD k-6 III 333mhz running
at 475mhz [95mhz x 5]
fic va-503+ motherboard
i compiled my kernel for smp, as i
did not want to have to recompile it later for that purpose.
i am sending a copy of my configuration
file; PROpen3DEKORUM.
it was configured using `make -s xconfig'. 
so you will need to view it with xconfig, as menuconfig won't read it. 
none of this would matter, if it weren't for the i18n language modules
which aren't installed.  i have run `make bzlilo' yet. that will probably
work just fine.  but i don't know if i install my kernel without the
i18n modules, if that will screw-up my ability to boot.
i am also having more domestic problems. 
i can't seem to get any icons in gnome on my desktop.  and i nolonger
have a visual readout of my swap buffer on my panel using the `cpu/mem
usage' monitor.  it used to work just fine.  i am running sawfish
as my window manager.  but i really don't think this has anything
to do with it.  because i can't get a print-out of the swap buffer
when i type `free' either

[Cooker] beta2 (cervisia, kdevelop, mount cdrom)

[Randy McCaskill]

All of the following was with a clean developer install of beta2 from
the iso images.  So far I have only tried the following in KDE.

I cannot find a menu entry for cervisia and I know it was installed (I
am running it).

Kdevelop seems to have been removed from the installation.  There seem
to be some files installed in /usr/share/doc/HTML/*/kdevelop.  They look
to be instructions for cvs but they are for languages for other than
english and I did an english only install.

I chose not to enable automounting of my cdrom/floppy.  I can find no
way graphically to mount the cdrom now.

[Cooker] Beta2 problems (ppp install and nslookup)

[Randy McCaskill]

Beta2 still has the same problem of creating a bad
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0 during install.  I reported
this for Beta1 and it is exactly the same behavior.

"nslookup" is core dumping on me.  I am pretty sure it worked in Beta1.

I also suggest that when you are putting a beta up, you should setup a
place for listing the bugs that have been found and their status.  This
would fix the problem where the people reporting the problem don't hear
anything after making a report and don't know if the problems are fixed
or not.  It would be a little more work for the developers, but I think
it would make a better product in the long run.  People
could even check to see if their problem is already listed and maybe
there wouldn't be as much duplication.

Ok, just hadn't seen a "frozen" version of it yet, but probably just
because it hasn't updated since 7.2beta and cooker split. Thanks for the

$display should be ¨helped¨ in the startx-script. According to the man-page for xinit 
the first :number will be the screen on which $clientags will apear while the rest of 
the commands will be parsed to the Xserver to be used there.
startx :1 == xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/your_wm -- $display :1 = start your_wm on $display 
and Xserver on display 1. /= what you want if $display /= :1
deleting $display is not the option because if you log on to a machine via telnet, do 
a EXPORT to local machine and did a startx you would expect that your_wm like 
(almost?) all other X-programs would appear on your local machine and not the machine 
to which you telnet to.


P.S. I think that for ssh the same thing applies. Have never done it over an insecure 
network so don´t know how it exactly works

Re: [Cooker] Corel WordPerfect 2000 and 7.2Beta

[OS]

Yes.








Oh, you want to know how !



Add :
FontPath   "tcp/127.0.0.1:7102"  
to the 'Section "Files"' of XF86Config and ensure you have loopback thingy
enabled ntsysv --> network, ifconfig should display something like :
loLink encap:Local Loopback  
  inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
  UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
  RX packets:552 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:552 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 

I think you should also be able to add:
alternate-servers = tcp/127.0.0.1:7102
to /etc/X11/fs/config but I have never tried that.

Hope this helps,
Owen

[Cooker] Mandrake kernels

[Peter Ruskin]

Would it be too difficult to build scsi support into the standard kernels?
My boot disk is scsi, so I always have to roll my own kernels - not much
of a problem except for the time, with the frequent updates from cooker.

I always use matroxfb in my kernels (I have a Matrox G400-32).  Since
2.2.17-1 this has not been possible.  The kernel documentation
fb/matroxfb.txt advises _not_ to use the VESA framebuffer.  With the
latest kernels I have to build without framebuffer so that I can boot
- with framebuffer I get some message about framebuffer trying to use
wrong memory location (doesn't get into any logs so I have to rely on
my memory for that).

I have gone back to using 2.2.17-0.24mdk and initscripts-4.97-43mdk,
which serves me well but I would prefer to move forward instead of
back.

There must be many of us with G400s and scsi disks

The printer works fine.  It's only the calibration that can't print the
fourth pass, and presumably doesn't save any settings - I'd enter the
settings by hand if I knew where to do it.

[Cooker] kernel 2.2.17-8mdk

[pgeorges]

With kernel 2.2.17-8mdk :


* unresolved symbols while finding module dependencies for tulip.o and
via-rhine.o
(no matter for me, I don't need those)

* bttv support : still no image, though sound works.

Does anybody manage to watch TV with cooker ?
For me, it has been broken for a long time.

[Cooker] Request: split alsa package

[Alexander Skwar]

HI!

I installed alsa-2.2.17_0.5.9c-8mdk.i586.rpm and noticed that it contains
drivers for a SMP kernel as well as for a normal (ie. non-SMP) kernel.  I
don't care much about SMP as my computer only has one CPU, and I can imagine
that SMP users don't care much about a non-SMP version.

To make the download smaller and faster, could the alsa package please be
split up in a non SMP version and a SMP version?

Thanks.

[Cooker] 7.2 beta 2 sound

[Jean Meloche]

FYI...

I'm using gnome (7.2 beta 2)

gmix keeps claiming that

No mixer found.
Make sure you have sound support compiled into the kernel.

Note that (once the permissions are set) kmix has no problem.

Also, xmms works jusr fine with the oss Driver but fails when I try
to use the eSound Output Plugin:

Please check that:
1. You have the correct output plugin selected
2. No other program is blocking the soundcard
3. Your soundcard is configured properly

The sound card seems to be fine: (from dmesg)

es1370: version v0.31 time 19:04:01 Sep  6 2000
es1370: found adapter at io 0xa400 irq 10
es1370: features: joystick off, line in, mic impedance 0

Esd starts at the command line and outputs the little whistle.

If you try to use the control center to

Enable sound server startup

it'll update your config file (and esd starts at next loggin)
but the control center itself keeps showing the option as off,
no matter what.

Hope this is useful and do let me know if this is the wrong place.

no, any @mandrakesoft.com will work.

well, don't forget that rpmlint prints out error and warning messages that
are indicating some tips. for example this invalid-packager helps us when
we forget some outside-mandrake emails in the specfiles.

for you on cooker mailing list, you have to not care about this message.

Boy, I'm glad to see someone else agrees with me !!!  ;-)

If I have to post this on cooker or Xpert again I'll burst !!!  :-)

In startx change the last line, which is:
xinit $clientargs -- $display $serverargs
to
xinit $clientargs -- $serverargs

Hope this helps  :-),

[Cooker] locale trouble

[Joakim Bodin]

I updated the MandrakeUpdate program from version 7.1* to 7.2* and used
the devel option to point to the cooker dir (yes I do know that cooker
is experimental but almost everything else I run on linux is
experimental), ah the joys of living on the edge ;) ,and updated basicly
all my packages from the 7.1 versions to cooker versions. I then noticed
that everytime I ran a gtk/gnome program or perl it complained about
that it couldn't set the locale. Perl outputs this for exampel:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "sv",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_MESSAGES = "sv",
LC_TIME = "sv",
LC_NUMERIC = "sv",
LC_CTYPE = "sv",
LC_MONETARY = "sv",
LC_COLLATE = "sv",
LANG = "sv"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I immedialetely suspected the updated locale and glibc rpms, I rebuilt
both glibc and locales from src.rpms but the warnings doesn't go away.
Is there any simple solution that I'm missing? I basicly just want to
know if it's something I've done or a bug in the glibc/locale rpms or
something else.

I personally expressed myself only on your HTML postings. My message was
not aggressive, and was just asking you to remove it, with a nice "please"
to not be rude.

Then you answered in an aggressive way, telling we are just not in sync
with today's technology.

Of what we all try to explain you why we don't agree.


And, no, for the PGP key, please leave it as it is: it will help my scoring to

Well, do you know this is a developper's mailing list? if you seek for
some information and stuff like that, you should probably use "newbie" or
"expert" mailing list.

And of course you ARE free to behave as you like and send HTML stuff -- as
we are free to slam you when we feel you don't respect our simple rules of
efficiency.

I'm sorry, I wrote the cooker-faq but forgot to precise you should avoid
HTML postings. [actually it seemed too obvious..]

Most from the Windows World are brainless?


FYI many posters on this ML use Outlook Express, for various reasons, but
they do not post with HTML..

Just have a look in this mailing list archive, as i've already suggested
to you, and you'll find this famous document, whose correct english name
is netethic, and that supposed to be part of the minimal culture of any
linux user. You'll also learn that removing Netscape from main
distribution is a top level priority, not for its ability to send HTML
mails, but for it being not free software (supposing that you know what
free software is).

You never attacked anyone in particular, but you're getting on
everyone's nerves with arrogant statements (go buy a satellite
connexion, wake up and use HTML, etc...), pretentious title (everybody
has a PHD now, even me :-) ), and ridiculously mail use incompetence,
that i'm very surprised nobody flamed you already. And the worst is that
you don't even seem to take care of what patient people try to explain
you.

Freedom of choice doesn't means freedom of imposing them to others.

It is not mandrake-newbie list here, it's cooker : a list for debugging
next Mandrake's distribution. So it is expected people coming here know
the very base of linux culture.

I have had the same experience on two consecutive installations. The odd
thing is that when I checked ( mainly been looking at OS) I had three
installations of XFree86-xfs. That is on top off an RedHat6.2, and all
my files from that installation was intact.

What are you using to download?  (Yes, I know, Warren)  If you use
rsync or fmirror, both these have a delete option which will delete
any local files that are not on the server.   I did take the trouble
to warn you about this, you know. .

The problem:

Because the name changes from -11mdk to -12mdk, that defines it as a
totally new file, so with the present way Mandrake has things set up
you cannot avoid a full download again whichever downloader you
choose to use.  

There is no Mandrake-naming-convention-aware downloader, and it is
rather too late for Mandrake to change so that the versioning of RPM
files is not carried in the name, but somewhere else that is easily
accessible.  To have that version control appear in directory
listings (essential) would call for a change to Linux itself.

It is interesting to compare the downloaded installer files (there
are 49MB of these, no RPMs) which do not have version numbers in the
file name.  These are being very frequently updated at the moment. 
Using rsync, these are updated when the size or timestamp alters
using a special rsync protocol patch ability which only downloads and
patches in the actual differences - MUCH faster!   Not using rsync
you will always get a full re-download which will silently overwrite
the original.

"[T]he rest of the world" does not use HTML, only mass marketers and people
who use underpowered clients like Netscape and Outlook which use glitz to
cover their lack of features.

HTML messages from these individuals is typically sent in a
multi-part/alternative format that actually sends the message twice,
consuming more than twice the bandwidth of a plaintext posting.  If you had
to deal with slow connections on old modems using rural phone lines, you
wouldn't be quite so arrogant about this matter.  I receive several hundred
emails a day and it takes far longer to download the messages than I would
care to admit.

It costs you nothing to send in plaintext, but it costs me three
cents/minute plus ISP charges for my connection, and I am certain that
Mandrake pays considerably for the bandwidth for the lists.  Please, use the
extra formatting on your own dime.

The rest of the world is blown up by the sucking Microsoft domination that
puts HTML as default with their damn Outlook Express stuff.

FYI, the Internet has not waited for Microsoft to invent stuff like email,
and from long time, till long time, the basic logic was, is, and will be
to post email as normal text.

Email is used to transmit information; it's focused on the meaning of the
information, not the way it is presented; you don't need to transmit
sucking useless information through email. Use the File Transfer Protocol,
a.k.a FTP for that.

if you try and add (CD's, floppys, or zip disk to the desktop there is
an error in /usr/share/templates) also kpackage still generates a signal
11.

[Cooker] 7.2beta installer errors

[Chris Green]

using network.img for 7.2beta with a 3com 59x card and a single IDE
hd. 

Choosing NFS and going all the way through to the server selection
screen and then backing up and choosing FTP causes the installer to
fail when it tries to insmod another driver for the same card and gets
a device busy.

Partitions are currently set for type A6 in a OpenBSD configuration
and these errors result:

* starting set `doPartitiondisks'
* umounting all filesystems
* no scsi devices are available
* warning: bad magic number at .../partition_table_empty.pm line 31
* found a dos partiion table on /dev/hda at sector 0
* warning: Can't call method "grab_focus" on an undefined valude and
/usr/bin/perl-install/diskdrake.pm line 150


and it continues to loop with the same error.

Chris

[Cooker] Diskdrake

[Rikard Anglerud]

I performed an ftp install last night, and encountered a problem I thought
I should report. 

I decided to install in a second HD I have. 
During the install I used the Diskdrake tool to assign mountpoints.
(/dev/hdb1 as /boot (8Mb ext2), /dev/hdb5 as swap (96Mb) and /dev/hdb6 as
/ (1.8Gb ext2)). After that I selected to have hdb1, hdb5 and hdb6
formatted (it also offered me to format /hda5 which is the swap partition
on my normal install). 

Diskdrake claimed to format, and the insatll proceeded to determine which
packages could be installed. Here things went wrong. The installer
reported:

---
Problem: An error occured "Your system has not enough space left for
installation or upgrade (58566643 > 421325)
---
As the only choice was "ok" - that's what I selected. 

I went back to Diskdrake and attempted to unmount teh root partition
(which no longer reported to be mounted as "/" - but unmount was the only
option). This led to:

---
Error unmounting /dev/hdb6: No such file or directory at
/usr/bin/perl-install/fs.pm line 227
---

Re-selecting /dev/hdb1 as /boot and proceeding results in it informing me
that I must have a / partition.

I tried to restart the insatll several times, and this occurred every
time. however, when I delet the paritions on /dev/hdb and recreated
them, the install proceeded smoothly, and with no further problems like
it. 

There are a few more little thingsL
During the package selection there are both an "Accesibility" and an
"Accessibility" directory. 

In KDE the fonts aren't behaving. While selecting any true-type font, it
displays as some kind of standard font. 

There is no entry for the 'Guillemot Maxi Gamer Banshee' (a 3dfx banshee
card, as teh name suggests) or the Packard Bell 3010 Monitor (max res
1024*768 @ 60Hz).

Re: [Cooker] printer

[Till Kamppeter]

Try to update to the newest Cooker versions: CUPS 22mdk, GhostScript
25mdk, CUPS-drivers 13mdk. Then you will get two entries for the HP
DeskJet 610. Use the "GIMP-Print", this gives the best results.

Re: [Cooker] Big printing problems / configuration: BJC-6000

[Till Kamppeter]

Do the following:

Update to the newest versions:

   CUPS 22mdk, GhostScript 25mdk,
   CUPS-Drivers 13mdk

AFTER doing this, do

1. ) Use the GIMP-Print driver for your BJC-6000.

2. ) Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to have the line

   LogLevel debug

Take care that you delete the hash mark ('#') in the beginning.
Restart the CUPS daemon with /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart.

3.) Edit /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic. The line "my $debug=0" to "my
$debug=1".

4.) Try to print again.

5.) Send me the file /tmp/prnlog, and the output which appears in the
error_log now.

BTW, just one remark, please don't forget people with a 800x600 screen
when you do the desktop. On a lot of laptops (and even on large screen
PCs) it's still a standard configuration. Lots of Mandrake applications
don't fit in a 800x600 desktop by default...

Did it not print or did only the calibration not work?

The calibration is still alpha, perhaps I will take it out again.

Two possibilities:

1. Edit /etc/cups/cups.conf and search for a line containing
"/etc/printcap". Remove the "#" in the beginning of it.
Save the file and restart the CUPS daemon entering

   /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart

Now the printers should show up in the KDE dialogs.

--OR--

2. Update your CUPS package to the release 22mdk from the Cooker. There
this change is already done.

We do not have all printer models. The printer database comes from

   www.linuxprinting.org

If you have suggestions for making something better, tell it to Grant
Taylor, the owner of this site.

In general, the best drivers are the GIMP-Print drivers. To configure
them easily on your Mandrake/CUPS system update also

   GhostScript: 25mdk
   CUPS-Drivers: 13mdk

[Cooker] diskdrake fdisk problem

[Ray]

I have been working with the 7.2 beta 2 ans the cooker versions and have a 
problem with fdisk and diskdrake.
I have a quantum 13GB IDE drive and diskdrake can never see the partition on 
it. I created 1 partition using both fdisk and diskdrake, fdisk sees the 
partition but diskdrake can never see it after a reboot. The drive does mount 
ok. But next time I do an upgrade or install the drive shows empty and I have 
to create a partition. Even after is is booted and running I tried to run 
diskdrake to see and the drive showed no partitions. Everything works fine in 
7.1...

[Cooker] new DrakConf...

[Mattias Eriksson]

Hi, I saw that DrakConf has been remodeled. 
A few comments: 
It's realy slow. On my pentium I have to wait about 2-5 sec just before the
different buttons get highlighted!

It's to big, It doesnt fit my 14" inc screen (I know it's to small!!!)
And when I resize the window verticaly it should apeare a scrollbar or 
it sould rearange the icons to use the unused part of the window...


about the Menu tool. I would like to have a import gnome menu option, that
creates mandrake menuentries for the gnome menuentries that doesn't have
a match in the mandrake menu system.

[Cooker] 7.2beta installation problem

[Pascal Grossé]

Hello,

I upgraded my 7.2beta repository at 16:00 today with a rsync on
ftp.sunet.se, then went to the installation with hd.img. I got some
problems :

When i choose the mouse, the nice cute little screen asking me to try my
wheel does not appear. But if i return back to the mouse configuration
just after that, and choose the *same* mouse seting, then it does appear. 

After the keyboard layout selection and locales selection, the install
program went nuts. The following error message show up :

Syntax error at /usr/bin/perl-install/diskdrake.pm line 472, near "]]"
BEGIN not safe after errors -- Compilation aborted at
/usr/bin/perl-install/diskdrake.pm line 881.
Compilation failed in require

Hope this can help :-)

[Cooker] Bug during initialization

[Brad Peterson]

I installed Beta 2 via ftp and everything went really smoothly.  You are to
be congratulated.  However, during initialization, I notice that the script
is looking for /lib/modules/2.2.16/modules.dep while trying to bring up both
the network and the sound card.  Of course, it fails because that directory
doesn't exist.  So I thought I would be smart and create a link to
2.2.17-5mdk (a directory that does exist)and name it 2.2.16.  This gets
further but complains that the module was written for 2.2.17.  Of course it
was, I though that that was what we are running here!  Does anyone know what
is going on?  Why is it looking for a directory that should not exist?  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.  I am not a unix administrator by any
stretch of the imagination, so I don't know at what point things are being
thrown off track.

Thanks,

Brad Peterson

currently, there is not enough room on the floppy for that.

use el-torito 2.88 with `all.img', there is everything including
reiserfs.o; you'll probably have to burn a CD with it..


or else, you can use the network-boot feature [for example through grub]
and then you can put everything you want on the network machine you'll
boot from. [this feature is highly unsupported by us, although we're using
it for development]

Re: [Cooker] English-only download

[Ron Stodden]

This is an update to the rsync script in the parent of this
message.   You are referred to the parent and grandparent and
great-grandparent messages for further explanation.
 
Using this script, total 7.2beta tree download is now 971MB, a
considerable saving from a complete download and from the combined
size of the two CD iso9660 image files.   This saving for en_GB users
only is the whole point of the exercise.

The script is easily alterable for en (USA) users or for use in other
locales - if you do that, you might like to publish it here for the
benefit of other users in your locale.  If you do modify the script,
use the rsync n option to dry run test before you do the real
download.
 
Note 1 (repeated): Since cooker and 7.2beta are running in tandem
until 7.2beta is frozen, downloading of cooker is no longer done.  
Caution: This will cause your entire cooker tree to be deleted, so
rsync a copy of your 7.2beta tree to your cooker tree first before
requesting a
cooker rsync download.   If you still want cooker, remove the
'--exclude=cooker/ \' line.

Note 2 (revised): the kde-i18n-* locale RPMs and the new
linuxconf-lang-* locale RPMs, the installer's locale po files, the
netscape locale files, the mandrake_doc locale files and many other
non-en locale-specific files are not downloaded.

Note 3 (repeated): The contrib RPM tree is also downloaded.  Present
size is 474MB (worth avoiding if you do not want it).  If you do not
want it add a '--exclude=contrib/ \' line.
 
Note 4 (repeated): This rsync download script aupports only hard disk
installs with English(UK) language and US international keyboard.  It
has been tested with a customized - install - development - all
packages, hd install.

Good Luck!
