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

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.

Subject: [Cooker] Linux Mandrake 7.2 beta 2


 I downloaded the iso files for what appears to be the beta2 distribution
 from the site in France. Installation went smoothly, although I found
 the printer installation was slightly confusing. I selected the CUPs
 option for my Epson Stylus Color 800 second time around and it worked.

 It looks good but I have a couple of observations (I didn't get as far
 as testing out individual packages.

 1) I can get pictures of different allowed users for selection prior to
 selection of the graphic interface (kde  gnome etc) and for user log
 in. However I can only get the system to accept "root"
 If i try to log on as another user (at the GUI) I get a message which
 says:

 " some error setting up inter-process communications for KDF. The
 message returned by the system was : networksList argument is null.
 please check that the "dcopserver" program is running"

 I tried to run the system from the text input ie without the graphics
 and the same thing occurs.
 The problem is also the same if Gnome is selected instead of KDE with
 the graphics interface.

 2) I use a cable modem to access the internet. On setting up the system
 for networking an error occurred if I tried to select "cable modem" and
 eth0 as my network interfaces. I could get round the error by selecting
 to configure the internal network for both of my network cards. On
 looking at the network configuration in Drakconf/ Network it looks OK,
 but there is no communication with the internet.
 ( This is disappointing as I have never had a problem with setting up to
 communicate with the internet using any other version of Linux).

[Cooker] 7.2b2 -- MandrakeUpdate and proxies

2000-09-19 Thread Charles Nepote


From a fresh 7.2b2 install, MandrakeUpdate doesn't seem to work with a
firewall/proxy. The list of new packages is empty (I tried several
mirrors).
Is it normal ?

Also, the button for the proxy configuration are strange :
When you select a button :
[x] Proxy http : 185.185.185.185 Port 3128
[x] Proxy ftp :  185.185.185.185 Port 3128
the next time you get in the config menu there are both deselected.
What is the difference between Proxy http and Proxy ftp since there is
no http
mirrors in the list ? Is it the type of the proxy ?
A good news : the list of mirrors is well downloaded...

- what is this little message box : Licence - No warranty [Accept /
Refuse]. I Hope the final message will be less ... terse :-) Anyway, it
should be translated (french in my case).

- The Test-your-mouse-window's message is not translated in french (don't

- After partitionning and formating, the installation failed with the
following message :

[Cooker] Netscape bug - any connection to XFree-4.0.1-17mdk?

2000-09-19 Thread Pedro Rosa

Lately I'm having some troubles with Netscape. The bug is very specific
but I still couldn't fully trace its origin. Note that this bug never
happened before and I'm using netscape 4.75 over several X builds. 

Netscape Mail client trashes its mailbox indexes located on ~/nsmail/.*
(* for Index, Trash...). How and when it does that is still a mistery.
The phenomena happens randomly and with any kind of mail in any of the
mailboxes I have. It happens even on boxes that have been fully cleaned
recently. Also, Netscape seems to crash randomly when reading these
broken mailboxes: on reading a letter, on deleting, on downloading mail.
In one of the events I could read every mail in the Inbox but when I
deleted a letter Netscape crashed. The crash is even reflected on the
kernel:

After this the index file is unreadable until reboot (mc hangs reading
it). The system seems to continue normal operations but sync or some
other disk operations may hang the machine. Netscape hangs if one tries
to reload, even if we don't launch the mail client. Besides, doing this,
it may risk a full freeze. Reboot has to be done either through Magic
Key or through "AnyKey" (reset :) ). After boot my network card gets
schizo - the kernel starts an avalanche of timeout warnings (It's a IBM
EtherExpress with WakeOnLAN).

All files in ~/nsmail are readable. There are no physical problems with
the disk that could trigger such situation. The situation can only be
solved by deleting the mail indexes.

[Cooker] kppp command line failure reproducible error

2000-09-19 Thread Con Kolivas

Latest kppp in kdenetwork seems to suffer a reproducible bug. I have 
multiple dial-up ISPs and have connected with ISP1 and then disconnected, if 
I try to connect with ISP2 using  the command line option kppp -c ISP2 it 
fails. It appears to confuse the last used ISP connection with the command 
line one. I'm not sure if it's trying to pass the wrong password or 
authentication type but repeatedly fails.

[Cooker] Bug in text-mode installation

[Cooker] rsyncmonitor

2000-09-19 Thread Eugenio Diaz

Since we (slow bit dudes) are in the mood of contributing rsync enhancer
scripts, here is mine.

It will run another simple script containing the rsync command, and
monitor if it dies, stalls, or your ppp reconnects. I first wrote it
because I was tired of leaving rsync running in the morning, and when I
came back discover the it had only downloaded for an hour or so and the
stalled, etc.

Attached are the rsyncmonitor and a sample rsync script.

it is supposed top be run like this;

rsyncmonitor fullpathtorsyncscript

If you put both scripts in the same directory and your rsync script is
called "update-cooker" it would be something like this:

./rsyncmonitor ./update-cooker

Disclaimer: It is quick and dirty!!!

A known problem I haven't fixed is that if you encounter a big file
while using the "delete" option on your rsync script, if your ISP keeps
disconecting (BTW for it to work you need to set your PPP connection to
autoreconnect, I have also included a simple script to minimize
disconnections, "keeup"; you can run it on your
"/etc/ppp/ip-up.local") you before the file is finished, then you go in
a loop of download-delete (since rsync is killed with -9, it does not
renames the ".filename." rsync creates, and it is deleted next time
rsync is run).

We should combine this script with Allen's.

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

2000-09-19 Thread Reinhard Katzmann

Hi Till!

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

Still use 12mdk, as the latest was not on the mirrors as I went home
at 17.00 MET.

 AFTER doing this, do
 
 1. ) Use the GIMP-Print driver for your BJC-6000.

Changed to this driver (did not see that there were two of them)

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

Changed this line. (It's now:

# LogLevel: controls the number of messages logged to the ErrorLog
# file and can be one of the following:
#
# debug Log everything.
# info  Log all requests and state changes.
# warn  Log errors and warnings.
# error Log only errors.
# none  Log nothing.
#

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.

If you refer to the LogLevel line, it was not commented out, but
set to "info". Else you should point me to the correct line which
where the comment should be removed.

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

Changed this one as well.

 4.) Try to print again.

One change only: The printer put out an empty sheet of paper..

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

One thing to add: The print did now proceed according to "Jobs" (in the
previous version I needed to cancel it all the time, though the printer
was ready to print and jobs were accepted), but the Jobs log simply
said "Print aborted".

Here is the error_log file:

Though the setting in /tmp are set to:
drwxrwxrwt   11 root root 4096 Sep 19 19:28 ./

And the cupsomatic perl script looks like this now:

my $debug=1;

# Where to send debugging log output to
if ($debug) {
# Grotesquely unsecure; use for debugging only
open LOG, "/tmp/prnlog";
$logh = *LOG;
} else {
$logh=*STDERR;
}

The prnlog file was not created. Well the error log for
both the test page and a postscript file I tried to print
look like this:

The subsys file for each service is tested to be the same name as the
service name.

For ex. /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid  --  /var/lock/subsys/squid


Obviously here rpmlint complains because the value is not statically set
to "squid", but is set to $SQUID which can take virtually many values.

[Cooker] ld-linux.so.1 again

Hi!

I did not find any answer to this in the mail archive,
so I ask again:
Where is ld-linux.so.1 ? This should belong to the libc
package but it's not in there, so WordPerfect8 from 1998
(binary only), one of the better Word Processors which I
need for daily work does no longer run. I'm using a maybe
one or two weeks old cooker updated from 7.1. It used to
work fine on 7.1 itself. I know that it was in the ld.so
package, so I will be forced to install that one, until
the issue is solved.

[Cooker] Some interesting (but weird) things with beta2

2000-09-19 Thread JP Sartre

Just a few things. One is that this beta seems much more stable, to which
I am very thankful. However, I think some of the services need some more
(or better) descriptions. For example, ipop3 (has no description), cfd
(I've never heard of this one before), and lvs (new to me too). I also
noticed xinetd appears twice. One last thing on services: there are many
services which do the same thing.. how do I know which one to choose? For
example, sendmail and postfix..  xinetd on inetd.. do some things rely on
one services and not the other? 

Root is getting some weird emails.. one is from Anacron.. subject Anacron
job 'cron.daily':

"DB2 problem...: missing or empty key value specified
hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/aliases.db: Symbolic links not
allowed..." 

This is repeated a few times in the same email and then finished off with:

"slocate: this is not a valid slocate
database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db"

I'm also getting emails saying:

"errors occured while rotating /var/log/mail/mail.warn
stat of /var/log/mail.warn failed: No such file or directory"

Another email is about servers/telnet: localhost. The long and the short
of it is: 

localhost: problem connecting to "localhost", port 23: Connection
refused."

Now, I've disabled telnet in inetd.conf. Is this the problem?

Lastly, I noticed something interesting when I tried to do a clean
install. After selecting my partitions, I wanted to format /usr and /
.. so I selected those. Upon reboot after installation, I noticed that all
my previous files were there still. In other words, although it said
formating, it didn't actual format. I tried this again using the format
option in the partition section (i.e. the button that says format) and it
didn't do anything. I had to do a rm -rf instead. It was quite odd. Is it
my machine? 

Nothing else to report really, except that X picks a higher resolution
than I would like every time, even though I select a lower one. This isn't
new, as it happens in 7.1 as well, and is a quick fix once I boot up.

Re: [Cooker] Linux Mandrake 7.2 beta 2

2000-09-19 Thread Bernard Brown

This problem started to occur on 7.1 and was still present on the 7.2
beta 1. I expected that it would not re-occur with beta 2, but in spite
of the selection of pretty faces for different users I can only log on
to root. I cannot see how I could be setting up the user information
differently. Even if I try to introduce a different user after the
initial set-up process the problem remains. It is also a problem if I do
a level 3 start and login from the keyboard.
I would be very interested to know how to get round this.

 Subject: [Cooker] Linux Mandrake 7.2 beta 2
 
  I downloaded the iso files for what appears to be the beta2 distribution
  from the site in France. Installation went smoothly, although I found
  the printer installation was slightly confusing. I selected the CUPs
  option for my Epson Stylus Color 800 second time around and it worked.
 
  It looks good but I have a couple of observations (I didn't get as far
  as testing out individual packages.
 
  1) I can get pictures of different allowed users for selection prior to
  selection of the graphic interface (kde  gnome etc) and for user log
  in. However I can only get the system to accept "root"
  If i try to log on as another user (at the GUI) I get a message which
  says:
 
  " some error setting up inter-process communications for KDF. The
  message returned by the system was : networksList argument is null.
  please check that the "dcopserver" program is running"
 
  I tried to run the system from the text input ie without the graphics
  and the same thing occurs.
  The problem is also the same if Gnome is selected instead of KDE with
  the graphics interface.
 
  2) I use a cable modem to access the internet. On setting up the system
  for networking an error occurred if I tried to select "cable modem" and
  eth0 as my network interfaces. I could get round the error by selecting
  to configure the internal network for both of my network cards. On
  looking at the network configuration in Drakconf/ Network it looks OK,
  but there is no communication with the internet.
  ( This is disappointing as I have never had a problem with setting up to
  communicate with the internet using any other version of Linux).

3 Hard drake (btw vibra16 is a sound card {chip on a sb16}) does not
pick up the settings for the sound card (any way to force it to reload
device info?)
4 modprobe is dead i can't mod probe *.o period (related?)

[Cooker] cant build - missing LPR?

2000-09-19 Thread Antony Suter


I cant build from these RPMs because I get an error saying LPR1 (or similar)
not found.
qt2 reports one such error but gcc reports all from LPR1 up to LPR12.

qt2-2.2-2mdk.src.rpm
gcc-2.95.2-12mdk.src.rpm

What am I missing? Are these RPMs missing a dependancy?

[Cooker] sawmill is crashed by using gnumeric

2000-09-19 Thread Anon Sricharoenchai


Follow these step to regenerate this bug.

1. use Mandrake 7.1

2. create new user
   $ useradd test1 -p ''

3. login into gnome/sawmill desktop as user test1

4. open gnumeric application

5. select some texts from some X terminals to copy that texts into
   X clipboard

6. click menu Edit-Paste in gnumeric application

7. The X system will then hang. Sawmill will hang and eat 99% cpu time.
