Re: [Cooker] MandrakeCampus & MandrakeExpert survey + discussion
Hey Doc: The fonts remain SMALL, here; Don't know how others get HUGE fonts. This must be a bug with PHP Nuke. The testforum is the *only* site that 'locks' the font size and it's the only site that I frequent that uses PHP Nuke(AFAIK). BTW, changing the theme will change some of the fonts and sizes - it makes them Smaller! I'm using 'Western' w/ Verdana and Lucida Console in Netscape 4.76, in case you are wondering.

[Cooker] Install 02-12-2001 20:00 GMT-6
Hello, The install was a success on the home computers this time. Though the german language was still selected for aspell and locales even though I just selected english. I did an expert install and noticed there are a lot of OTHER sub sections in the selection list. Some of it didn't make sense why they were where there. Also even though I selected Documentation and Games with 100% install, there were some documentation not selected (ie How Tos) and most of the games were not selected either. On boot up I got the following errors. Feb 12 21:09:05 pheuri usbd: cannot open "/proc/bus/usb/devices ": No such file or directory (2) Feb 12 21:09:05 pheuri usbd: Starting USB daemon failed This failed even though I had selected both USB and USBD for startup at boot. I tried to go into DrakConf to check it but It seems most of DrakConf is not working at this point in it's makeover. I did look into rc3.d and the startup links for usb and usbd were there.

[Cooker] 1.412 - keyboard
Hi I have attached my message, wrongly named 1.402 instead of 1.412. I have done two different installations of reiserfs of the same version as in my earlier message and have pinned down the problem. If I choose UK English as my installation language, then the installation assumes that I have an UK English keyboard. As my keybord is swedish the passwd's given during installation won't function. If I choose swedish as my installation language then it is difficult to cut and paste to an english mailing list from report.bug, but my passwd's are functioning. regards guran Hi OBS! (=observe) I did an installation on reiserfs, ( sunsite.no 11.30 ), with the same problems conserning passwd's as reported yesterday. After that I stoped. This installation is basically the same, but had no problems with passwd's, the only difference from my point of view of the installation is: I choose another language for my installation (sv), this meant that I didn't have to change anything in Summary.

[Cooker] Improving the GNU/Linux printing support
Oi, now I have entered the execution data of all printer drivers listed on www.linuxprinting.org (except the Seiko label printer driver "slap" which does not support PostScript or graphics input), which means that when you update to the newest packages of GhostScript and CUPS-Drivers from the Cooker (backport for 7.2 comes later) all printers listed on www.linuxprinting.org will work as described there. But many printers (especially laser printers) do not simply print the document as generated by the printer driver, they accept also some extra commands (so-called PJL commands), sent before the job is sent, to access special printing modes as toner saving mode, smoothing of edges (REt), input tray selection, usage of finishers, ... This works for both PostSctipt and non-PostScript printers. Unfortunately, the database of www.linuxprinting.org does not contain many PJL commands, and I have found out how to read the available ones out of the printer. So I ask you to read out the PJL options of your printer and send them to me (to me, not onto the lists, to prevent them from being flooded). Read the attached file or surf to http://www.linuxtag.org/2001/deutsch/showitem.php3?item=194&lang=en to see a call written by Kurt Pfeifle who is the author of many printing articles in the german "Linux Magazin". It contains all info which you need to do the check. Thank you in advance for your PJL option files. Till Title: Call for Support: Collection of valid PJL commands for all printers by "Linuxprinting.org" Call For Support: Collection Of Valid PJL Commands For All Printers By "Linuxprinting.org" Every user with a printer can help to achieve a better Linux print support. Wanna help out? PJL And The Linuxprinting Database You are asked to help fill the Linuxprinting.org Database with valid pieces of info concerning the PJL commands understood by your printer. Every user with a printer connected to a parallel or USB port can help to achieve a better Linux support for his printer (if not working perfectly already). The Database has been built and accumulated by Grant Taylor, the well-known author of the Linux Printing HOWTO for quite some time. It is a key for the achievement of one (or some?) hi class Free printing system(s) for Linux. For quite a few printers the data about working PJL commands are still very incomplete. The quicker and the more precise this gap is filled the more profound and rapid the Linux support for modern printers in a Linux environment (and, in fact, amongst other Free Unix-like operating systems as well as non-Free ones) will develop in the months ahead. The database is not just of a huge advantage for CUPS -- other printing and spooling systems will also benefit a lot, like BSD-LPD, LPRng or PDQ. On the backgrounds and workings of this database you might want to read a bit in my (so far German-only) "CUPS-FAQ". If there is comcern, I could do a translation of a more detailed explanation of this action also comprehensible for newbies. (Hello, you editors of printed magazines: isn't this a good story for you as well? The author's fee I'll donate to a free software project... ;-) This here is just a short shot. A Shell Script To Read The PJL Capabilities Off The Printer Keying in the PJL info for thousands of printers off the vendor's documentation is very tiring and error-prone. Is this docu available at all? Is it complete? Is it correct? -- There's a better way to find out, with your help: ask you printer directly, what it supports... Till Kamppeter, architect and maintainer of the new Mandrake 7.2 printing system which chose CUPS to be the premium install (Till is also author of the free GUI Tool for CUPS, XPP), has presented a small shell script to help you do the job. Every Linux (and maybe, BSD) supporter can use it to ask his printer(s) about their level of PJL support. The results will go into the database which is designed to become the repository of automatic driver and printer configuration files for the major spooling systems CUPS, LPD, LPRng and PDQ. Just copy the 6 line shell script beneath, save it with an easy to remember name of your joice and mak it executable: #!/bin/sh echo "Writing PJL options into opts.txt" echo -en "\0330

[Cooker] Mandrake and Konqueror
Hi! Konqueror has two browsing profiles. One for file browsing and one for web browsing. In a default KDE 2.1 setup there's one icon for each profile. The house for home directory and a globe for www. I miss the latter icon in cooker. Instead there's an "Internet" icon, which points to kppp, which is strange considering that a lot of people access internet in other ways than through a dial-up. I vote for an Internet icon on the desktop, which starts the web browsing profile for Konqueror. The kppp icon could read "dial-up" or "modem". Mattias

and recompile all was well - but then, I customize the heck out of my
kernels.The mdk kernel dists seemed OK, but I had my own configuration
issues in other places (devfs, reiserfs).
To ramble on a bit more...
The arch/ directory seems to be missing a lot of code in the kernel-source
RPMs. In addition, the PCMCIA configs are only half there - at minimum the
PCMCIA modem and network driver modules should be genned (pcnet_cs, for
example). Lastly, realize that now that PCMCIA base is in the kernel it's a
bit different configuration-wise - in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia there's three
(four?) choices for the PCIC module (yenta-socket, i82365, (hd64465_ss?), or
tcic) and it must match the hardware.
Hope I'm helping and not just chattering...

Re: [Cooker] KERNEL 2.4.1
Hey, I know the answer to that one... :-) Really fresh, spanking new knowledge, too. You need to make a boot-time ramdisk. # cd /boot # man mkinitrd # mkinitrd initrd-2.4.1.img 2.4.1 If you use reiserfs it wouldn't hurt to add this switch: "--with reiserfs". Then finish this off by going into linuxconf -> boot mode -> LILO conf. (or edit lilo.conf) and specify the initial ramdisk you just created. Then it should boot...

The compatability symlinks have never been done right, hope the patch I
attached against the spec can do it correctly. Notice the bottom half of
patch, not the upper half. Don't know why the original SRPM generates
nonexistant target "bmpeg" and "gap_decode_bmpeg" so I use another line of
perl to revert some of the changes (I mean s/mpeg/bmpeg/g).

Re: [Cooker] BUILD of Source Mandrake 7.2 2.2.17-21mdk.src.rpm
I think I know what's going on here. If there was no previous kernel-source package installed, it would complain when compiling split-include, and the cause is obviously missing kernel header. Attached is a patch that hopefully cures this problem (it makes split-include and ksymoops to use headers from SRPM package instead of from stock headers). I consider this a problem since it shouldn't expect people to have kernel-header already installed in order to compile kernel. I have tested kernel-2.2.17-21mdk from MDK7.2, and both kernel-2.4.1-8mdk and kernel22-2.2.18-10mdk from cooker as well, all having the same symptom. Guess nobody has time to make stupid tests like this. :) Abel Cheung PS I avoided modifying spec, but it's ok to modify spec for the ksymoops part. On Sun, 11 Feb 2001, J . A .

If you use >> /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla the first time it will work. In fact, there was a problem during upgrade of mozilla packages. It has been fixed but it will only be effective with future upgrade. To fix your problem, as root, run : /usr/lib/mozilla/regxpcom /usr/lib/mozilla/regchrome and it should correct everything. If it doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall mozilla package -- Frédéric Crozat MandrakeSoft
