Nearly right. Actually perl-base was 5.700-1mdk, while perl was 5.600-20mdk. 5.700-1mdk is only in contrib - I don't remember installing it but I suppose I must have - prior to upgrading cooker - perhaps I installed something from contrib that depended upon it?? So I removed 5.700-1mdk and installed 5.600-20mdk.

[Cooker] Minor Annoyances w/ Gnome Install
I don't know if this has been corrected or not in Cooker, but I thought I'd mention it, just in case. Many of the problems I've encountered (such as the problems with update-menus and the UN-alphabetized arrangement of the Gnome menus) existed in LM 7.1 as well, so I hope to see this corrected before the next release. Immediately after installation, the Gnome desktop and menus are in complete chaos as compared to neat, orderly setup in KDE. It gives the general impression that great effort was made to make KDE look as nice as possible, but that Gnome is treated as an afterthought. While I understand that KDE is the default desktop for LM, I would like to see equal attention paid to make Gnome look nice as well. What I mean by this is, as soon as I boot up for the first time after a clean install and select Gnome, the desktop I'm presented with has icons scattered randomly around the desktop. In addition, I have the gnome "piston" icons for my printer -- is there no printer icons that you can find to use with Gnome? Also, the menu items in the Gnome menu are completely scattered at random. While KDE's menus are neatly alphabetized, the Gnome menu is not. MenuDrake, at least in its current incarnation, seems to be completely broken. Any item I try to add to my menus via MenuDrake never gets added -- this goes for ALL window manager menus, not just Gnome's. I have not been able to add items to the KDE menus either.. The only time an item gets added to my menus is when I add an RPM and update-menus runs automatically. Even then, though, some items, such as RealPlayer, never get added. The only way I've found to add an item to my Gnome menus was to install the Helix update and use gmenu. This too causes problems, however, because update-menus will then remove any items I add to my menus (it will also remove any menu icons I choose too). I eventually ended up having to rename update-menus so that it couldn't execute. To sum up, I'd like to be able to use MenuDrake not only to add items to my Gnome menus, but also to arrange my menu items in the order I choose. It's much easier to find the item I'm looking for if my menus are alphabetized. Thanks, Ray Swaim

[Cooker] ftp install
Hello, I was unable to install cooker with all updates as of Dec 8th 2000, 23:00 Central time (GMT +6). I had the following errors... I did an expert install, selecting all package groups and select individual packages. First when I unselected some packages they unselected other that I don't think they should have. WindowMaker -- fdutils, XFree86 100dpi fonts enlightenment -- libmikmod-devel aspell-de_CH -- python locales-de -- bonnie, diffstat, gaim, libglade0, libjpeg, tcl locales-hu -- bzflag, gcc-colorgcc, xmorph locales-ru -- emacs-X11, libaudiofile0, perlftlib, phpgroupware, shapecfg Also since I only selected US/English I don't know why the other locales and such were selected (Howto-html-hu, locales-bs,de,hu,ru, and the english dictionaries of aspell and ispell were not selected.) While selecting the packages I accidently selected XFree86-server-devel and the install took me back to the drive partitioning and just kept looping back to it so I had to restart the whole process. During the install of the packages, it said there were problems installing the following packages: apache, libbinutils2, clips, gtk-engines, gv, ibtk, open, libncurses5, mercury, vorbis-tools, pythonlib, perl-Net-IPv4Addr, libsig++1.0-devel, pciutils, ucd-snmp-utils, liboaf0-devel, perl-Apache-SSl, cooledit, and kvirc. I was unable to setup CUPS printing. After displaying the reading cups driver database, it came back with the error: unable to connect to cups server. The main reason the install failed as there was a failure during the LILO setup. I got the following error: Fatal: open /dev/hda: no such file or directory. -- Best regards, Robin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] slocate cron job freezes/crashes system regularly...
Has anyone else encountered this: This is on a virgin, new install of a Mandrake 7.2 system. Every morning, same time (4:02am) the system locks up and freezes hard, requiring a power cycle. Suspecting a cron job, I ran each manually in the cron.daily directory, until the same lock-up happened with the slocate cron.daily job. Since nothing has been customized or changed versus a standard system, I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered his, and what the possible fix would be. This is a similar problem that has also happened on an identically configured RedHat 7.0 system. The common factor between the two systems is that both are configured with ReiserFS, which is, BTW, what I suspect to be the relevant factor. Any ideas? Harry

Well... I've been trying to boot the 2.4 kernel but without success. The kernel can't mount the root partition at 08:01. Someone suggested initrd was not well, so I rebuilt the kernel with the scsi support for aic as part of the kernel (to avoid the need for an initrd image), but that didn't work either with the kernel still looking for a way to mount 08:01. Now, this was strange since the scsi host and drives were just detected a few seconds before the root filesystem needed to be mounted. How can the kernel not know about 08:01 once it has detected the scsi host?!?!??! So, I thought this might be a devfs interference, so I tried a new kernel again, this time without devfs. Same result. I just cant boot the 2.4 kernel. Suggestions? -- Jean Meloche [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-gold # 133947

OK, I have same problem on Banshee; message is ``failed to load kernel module "tdfx"'' but the module is loaded (so is agpgart). I seem to remember something about AGP problems with XFree4, is it possible to run without AGPgart for now? If so, how? -- Whaddaya mean, "who are we going to sue?" Our systems _work_!

[Cooker] booting kernel-2.4.0-0.10mdk & SCSI disk
Hi, I'm having trouble booting kernel-2.4.0-0.10mdk on my x86 system. The system only contains a SCSI drive, kernel-2.2.17-29mdk boots fine, but the 2.4 kernel spits out: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8 errno=2 VFS: Cannot open root device "805" or 08:05 Please append a correct "root=" boot option. My hunch is that it's in the modules.conf file & the initrd image. alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter alias char-major-81 bttv alias eth0 3c59x alias net-pf-4 ipx alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx alias scsi_hostadpater1 ncr53c8xx alias scsi_hostadapter2 usb-storage alias usb-interface usb-uhci post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter ; modprobe scsi_hostadapter1 ; modprobe scsi_hostadapter2 post-install usb-storage modprobe usbkbd; modprobe keybdev pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq alias sound-slot-0 es1370 I changed to block-major-11 into block-major-8 and rebuilt the initrd, but it didn't help. Any idea's? TIA Stefan
