the only way i could run xfs server was to change this line in 
etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs.

#original   daemon --check xfs su xfs -c \"xfs -port -1 -daemon\" -s /bin/sh

Is it even possible for them to be free, since the mp3 algorithm is 
patented? Doesn't really matter, I suppose, Mandrake already includes 
oggenc, to convert .wav to the unpatented Ogg Vorbis format, so that's a 
fine replace for bladeenc or lame.

Look at /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs, search lines like
... su xfs -c xfs -port -1 
and change to
... xfs -droppriv -port -1

(ie, delete the 'su xfs' part, and add a -droppriv).

Don't know why, but this script seems to have problems with 'su'..

If you are interested in mp3 compression, look at
http://www.r3mix.net/

It seems that the best encoder is lame, it can even beat the famous
(and non-free) Fraunhofer encoder.

One problem: there is yet a package named lame (Linux Administration

That's fine. Aren't we supposed to be testing the Mandrake stuff :-)

If Mandrake's KDE 2.1 depends on 'Mandrake's menu and menudrake' and this 
isn't working isn't there a problem ?

Having rpm -e --nodeps menu and menudrake and then reinstalling 
kdebase-2.1-0.20010102.1mdk the problem is still there. Even using KDE's 
kmenuedit doesn't work. It picks up the menus okay, but seems incapable of 
writing them (or else it writes them some where other than Mandrake's KDE 2.1 
is looking for them).

[Cooker] Sawfish fails to start properly.

2001-01-06 Thread OS

Hello,

On trying to use sawfish as the Gnome window manager the following happens:

Gnome starts, but falters on trying to start the window manager. The windows 
appear but with no borders or menus etc.. After several minutes the borders 
and menus appear and sawfish becomes fully functional. On going to the 
terminal where X was launced the following is displayed :

Xlib: extension "XINERAMA" missing on display ":0:0"

[Cooker] PCMCIA problems

2001-01-06 Thread OS

Hello,

I have a Future Domain PCMCIA SCSI 1 card. This card worked fine with the 
kernel-pcmcia-cs 2.2.18 kernel, but not with the 2.4 kernel. On inserting the 
card the following is output :

scsi:  Usage: fdomain=,[,]
scsi:  Bad LILO/INSMOD parameters?
scsi:  Cannot locate chip at port base 0x0
scsi:  Bad LILO/INSMOD parameters?
Try to free nonexistant resource <0140 - 014F>

With the 2.2.18 kernel the card was reported as using port base 0x140 and IRQ 
9.

So far all I've managed to achieve by editing the /etc/pcmcia/config file is 
to disable the PCMCIA services all together !!!

Please could anyone tell me what I should be doing to get this card working ?

Thanks,
Owen




[Cooker] More KDE problems

a) That would work if I had / or could get anything to appear in the KDE
menus !!!  :-(   Origionally I was getting two enteries for each menu
item. After playing around with the Mandrake menu editor for a while I
could get back to only one entry and then kcontrol would work. But close
the Mandrake menu editor and the two items per entry problem would be
back. So then I tried kmenuedit. Oh dear, I now have empty menus and
nothing appears to be able to get them back ! Certainly not
update-menus. I Have contacted a KDE mailing list and got short shrift
about it not being a KDE problem but a Mandrake menu editor problem.
This would appear to be correct given that after playing with the
Mandrake menu editor the menu's could be made to work. However,
kmenuedit has some very severe problems. For example, if, say, kpackage
is removed using kmenuedit some files vital to running kpackage are also
removed and kpackage will no longer run !

b) Shouldn't the kcontrol program actually had some entries in it !!!
:-( I get the main frame, but where there should be a tree of items
there is just a big white box.

c) In KDE 1 kppp would shut down the connection on exiting KDE / X. This
no longer happens. The 'phone connection is alive and well after X has
shutdown.

I realise that these are KDE issues, but I don't seem to get very far
with the KDE mailing lists. Anyone else fancy a try !

What's going on in the contrib tree?  Why are you rebuilding everything?

[Cooker] Kernel 2.4, reiserfs and RAID?

2001-01-06 Thread Alexander Skwar

Hello!

I remember reading somewhere that reiserfs doesn't play along very well in a
software RAID0 set.
Does this still hold true for Kernel 2.4?

PS: This is a resend.  The original message did not come back to me for some
hours.  So if your receive this 2 times, then it is because the message did
get through, apparently.

[Cooker] Install on a AcerNote Light

Hello!

I've got an AcerNote Light notebook.  This notebook does only have a
parallel port cd-rom and no network card.

Is there a way I can install Cooker onto it?  How about a parallel port /
serial port null-modem?  Would this work?  Does anyone have an idea about
how to do this?

I think the problem is the 'su xfs xfs'. Mine works as:

daemon --check xfs xfs -droppriv -port -1 -daemon

Would it be nicer to do the xfs -droppriv to run xfs as user xfs ?

We have already switched to 2.4.0 in cooker and 2.4.0 is available (! default)
in the 7.2 distribution. Of course for 2.4.0 in 7.2, it was one of those test
kernels..
