[Cooker] perl-problem after new install
Hi, last week I installed cooker completly new because I had an unrecoverable prob with the rpm-database. This install works except some system-hangs but it was possible with a 2nd try and update an existing system to got it to run. Most works well but always when the init is called (like init 3 or init 5) I get following error: * Configuring IP packet filters Can't locate IPChains.pm in @INC (@INC contains: / usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6 .0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr /lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Fwctl.pm line 38.

What about the routes ? do you manage to use alright this network ? about the dhcpd initscript: The /etc/init.d/dhcpd script detects eth0 so you should replace eth0 in that script with tr0 in your case in order to setup your dhcp server listening to that interface. are my assumptions correct ?

However, after watching the latest Pentium4/FlasK Mpeg debacle on Tom's Hardware, it occurred to me that perhaps an Athlon/Duron optimized build would be nice also. There seems to be some precedent in that a 386-compiled version is usually released a little while after the pentium-compiled release. Are there any plans to do this? Ummm, that's a 486 compiled version. If you can find a 386 to run KDE/Netscape/StarOffice, I'll eat it without mayonnaise. VanL Umm, almost exactly the same instruction set. Moreover, some experiments showed optimizing for the 686-class machines SLOWED the product. We probably need better optimizing compilers, designed for optimizing AMDs, than are available today to make any real gains. Finally, 686-class code tightens the timing requirements on IDE beyond what we have now, and there's way too much sloppy hardware out there. We have people who could boot 7.0 and 7.1 who can't touch 7.2 cause the kernel was changed to accommodate ATA/100 drives (and works fine with 386 code) but the leeway or slop allowed from stated specification tolerances for IDE hardware are very tiny with 586 code... Meaning that bad hardware doesn't boot _because_ we optimize, and many users say mandrake sucks because it won't boot on their hardware. Of course, you have been added to the list of potential volunteer testers, for when testing becomes practical. .-) Civileme

[Cooker] Cobalt and VA Linux-like hardware with LM
Hello everybody, I am interested if somebody can help with URL or advise on subject above - Cobalt-like and/or VA Linux-like hardware with LM. I am considering possibility to start solution-like business, and concentrate in the beginning on selling server appliances / pre-configured servers to businesses. I remember quite well discussion here, on Cooker, about "how nice it will be to have Mandrake PC". It's not exactly that, but step in that direction, for sure. :-)) If I succeed with servers, PCs/thin clients will probably follow. :-))) Ohh, yes, I forgot to tell: LM will be default pre-installed OS... /no extras, minimal install.../ I would be very grateful if somebody can advise what exact components VA Linux and Cobalt use (motherboard/chipset, memory, HDD make/model, cases, HDD controllers); May be somebody knows who is assembling units for them ? I am free in supplier choice, but it's better do not re-invent the wheel, IMHO. /at a moment I can't find around me suppliers of 2U cases. May be somebody can recommend it?/ If somebody knows what patches VA Linux /Cobalt have against standard kernel/other key packages - well, this can be also very important and nice to know... /I know Chmouel was trying to find similar info on kernel some time ago... But there was no information on VA Linux site/ If somebody thinks that there is something wrong with Cobalt/VA Linux devices (or there are better examples of Linux-based devices which can be sold to businesses) - it'll be interesting to hear as well. Any other suggestions are welcome! Please feel free to discuss it on list, or write to me directly. Looking forward to hear you soon!

The problem is : how can a newbie answer to the question "use pppoe or pptp?" If you have suggestion... But I agree that it's bad to ask the land and the modem type.

[Florin Grad florin@mandrakesoft.com] Re: [Cooker] dhcp-3* and token ring
hi again, what do you get after receiving the IP with the ifconfig command ? I didn't seem to have seen your output ... so, with both dhcp-2* and dhcp-client-2* both working together it doesn't work...either. some other people told me they managed to make it work. does at least the dhcp-server run alright ? the service dhcpd status command will do. The funny thing is that the initscripts are almost the same for dhcp*2 and 3 concerning the servers. the dhcp client (named it pump or dhclient or whatever gets the IP and eventually sets the route (and maybe some other options specified in the conf file) and that's it: it's work is done. It might recall the server later on when the lease is outdated.

[Cooker] Re: FIXED BUGS: KLyx
The following bugs appear in klyx-2.0-1mdk (KDE date 20001017): 1) Icons in the drop-down math browsers (greek characters, binary relations, etc.) appear as the KDE "unknown" icon (the question mark picture) 2) While in Math Mode, it is not possible to enter expressions in Tex Mode (such as "\pi" or "\frac"), since Tex Mode is exited after entering only one character I have fixed both of these. A brief synopsis is as follows: snip I have created patch files for src/MathBrowsers.C src/MathDelimiterDialog.C src/math_defs.h pics/Makefile.am and a set of .png images to replace the .xbm images in pics/ Please could someone let me know what I should do with these?

RE: [Cooker] Why no Official KDE 2.0.1 Update?
I'm starting to become of the opinion that when one is installing distributions such as mandrake and redhat, one should pay close attention to software that one is *particularly* keen on. One should *not* install these through rpm rather one should COMPILE FROM SOURCE!! I've had no end of troubles with (various bits of) KDE2 and its next to impossible to update *just* those bits (eg kdemultimedia) without making a mess... I compiled kdemultimedia from source on mandrake 7.2 after several programs from that package were causing problems. After the compilation those programs still cause trouble... more in fact. On a redhat 7 machine I forcibly removed all the kde packages and compiled the whole kde2 set from scratch. The result? BLISS!

[Cooker] Kernel 2.4, NFS, samba and eth0...
Hello, Could someone tell me how to get NFS, Samba and eth0 working on the new kernel please ! I thought I would try the new kernel-2.4.0-0.7mdk (at work not home). It was exactly as I had found before. I am starting to beleive that there is some extra configuration required for the above to work with 2.4 kernels. After all, such rudimentary things must work by now, since this kernel is due for final release soon isn't it ? As well as the above kernel I am currently using the latest (6/Dec/2000) netcfg, nettools and nfsutils. /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart (with a few /dev/null's removed !) reports eth0 startup failed. Cannot find module eth0 /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart reports [OK] but then continues to report 'foo has non-inet address' /etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs restart reports 'Can't get address for foo' /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock restart reports [OK] - well 1 out of 4 isn't bad :-) The result is no NFS, no Samba shares and no internet connection !!! Apart from that I'm sure it's great !! ;-) Please help, Owen
