"For the moment i don't care much, i'm using the old 7.2 boot kernel until the 2.4 ramdisk bug is fixed. *Then* you will have (b)leading edge!" Assuming that is imminent, it's good news. But I still think he does not appreciate the field support, retrofit, recall, implications for 7.2 downloaders or purchasers - maybe that belongs to Mandrake QA? Probably all it would take is a little note attached to all unsold copies with the append string to enable the Promise IDE channels as IDE 2 & 3 so that the installer can find these drives. Or showing how to disable both the existing IDE channels and with the required lilo append string to make the Promise IDE channels appear as IDE 0 & 1? MandrakeSoft may be hopefully hiding behind the imminent release of 8.0, plus maybe there have not been that many registered complaints received about this difficulty. Muse: It is strange that Promise chose that way of doing it. On Windows it is acceptable because shifting your hard drive farm from IDE0 & 1 to IDE 2 & 3 will cause the same drive letters to be assigned to the same partitions. But on Linux that concept does not apply, and Promise should have known that. Changing your disk farm from hda, hdb, hdc and hdd to hde, hdf, hdg & hdh is not trivial since none of those Linuxes will run any more and it takes work from another running Linux located somewhere else to fix them up.IMHO, Promise should be taken out and shot!Their mass storage chip should have taken over all 4 IDE channels at ATA100. -- Regards, Ron.

Re: [Cooker] Stripped libraries
Hi: Thank you for the responses Chmouel. All the libraries - that was a lot of work/time/money! And now you've got some bozo trying to second guess the decision of all the developers. * I do apologize if it seems that way.*I am concerned about long term effects but "convince us" is not a task that can be done by myself. You are the magician and I am still, _once again_, a student learning to perform the new tricks with aya OS. When I suggested v.8.0 as a reinsertion point I did not realize _all_ libraries( - glibc ) had been stripped. How many megabytes does it actually save to strip them? I can/will/do use --debug as necessary but that does not help the end user that gets the pop-ups of 'debug me and send bug report' and who actually wants to help by doing that. =>. If the libraries were not stripped would not the information sent to KDE, Gnome, ...even MDK, be of greater value? =>. Would not this make your job and the rest of the mdk developers jobs easier/faster/cheaper to perform by using the library _and_ user resources to improve KDE, etc... QA response? =>. Would not this also result to make the development/QA cost of the mdk OS less and thereby increase the profit margin? =>. Would not that also buy you a café au lait or two? :) ( Ok, all of that is very simplified but still valid i think if the info in the libraries was good enough to provide valuable debugging results. I don't know since it's the 'chicken and the egg' here.) Logic would dictate that increasing the quality of the debug information would still be the desirable approach at this point in the development process, and not stripping out what was already there. =>. If space is not the only consideration ( " even if we had some place on the disk we will not put library not stripped " ), what would be the other reason(s) for stripping the libraries? ... and thanks again for listening, considering and responding.

Please? Well, despite all that effort in documenting the problem, no action has been taken to solve it. As I test new kernels, I see that some times they work, and when the next update comes, it does not work again; which leads me to believe there is a real problem with the ide patches.

[Cooker] DrakX and screen space for questions
Hi. I have tried the iso images of cooker that were announced recently, and saw one thing that is new for me. The installer asks you a question and offers a list to choose from. The problem is that the list scrolls up the question and you do not know what are you answering to (I have to guess it was about a module to load). A Good Thing (TM) could be to format the answers in two columns. And to be sure that all questions fit in a 80x30 terminal screen (or whatever is the screen space in the initial install screen MINUS the boot logo size...) TIA -- J.A.

[Cooker] setup and /etc/filesystems
Hi, One other light problem with setup. My /etc/fstab setup for zip drive uses filesystem type 'auto'. The auto mode should try with all the filesystems 'available'. The available fs are those compiled in kernel or loadable at time of mount. You can force the order of try with /etc/filesystems. I usually mount zips with hfs format. The problem is that /etc/filesystems does not only impose order or preference, but which fs are tried. So in my case after rpm setup.rpm, my hfs zips are not auto-recognized, even with hfs compiled-in in kernel. I think this can affect other situations also (auto type for reiser partitions and no reiser in /etc/f ? ). Possible workaround : ?? - No /etc/filesystems: you can auto-detect only compiled in types - All imaginable fs in /etc/filesystems: one possible solution - Something like cat /proc/filesystems > /etc/filesystems ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/?? >> /etc/filesystems perhaps...

I just assumed that RENDER is not > supported on the ati driver as well (after all, hardly anything is !!! They > had 3D acceleration in 3.3.6, but not in 4 - go figure !). After searching around I found that the RENDER extension is sth. build into X that loads itself on startup without any entry in XF86Config. In my /var/log/XFree.0.log I see that this extension is attempted to be loaded but although no error follows I don't see it afterwards in the 'xdpyinfo' output. So it could be that it decides it can't be loaded if it realizes you use the ati module. Yes I too have an ati (expert@play). I think though XFree does some kind of acceleration. I hoped that 4.0.2 would even be better than 4.0.1 ... But let me tell you that with my XFree-4.0.1 I was able to use the latest kwintv albeit without the libqt-mt multithreading option compiled in kwintv. All my efforts to upgrade were just to enable this multi-threading in kwintv (question of being complete). I also start to suspect that the Xlib error I see is just a warning and that kwintv crashes for some other reason. I'll try to get help from the kwintv side.

[Cooker] libstdc++-compat
This seem like a silly question, but why is there no longer a libstdc++-compat in cooker? I have literally dozens of locallly compiled packages that depend on libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 which was part of the Mandrake 7.2 libstdc++ package. Since this is not provided by the new libstdc++, a compat package will be needed before 8.0 for the same reason there is a compat-glibc package: to keep from breaking ppl's systems when they upgrade. -- Anton GrahamGPG ID: 0x18F78541 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RSA key available upon request You will pay for your sins.

[Cooker] can't login to runlevel 3 ...please help
Inittab is set to boot to runlevel 3, as always. After recent upgrades, can no longer login, either as root or user (at runlevel 3). After typing password for root or user, nothing happens for 60 seconds, a sentence flashes that's too quick to read, and prompt goes back to login prompt. I then reboot to linux single or linux 1. At the "sh" prompt, I type login to get the login prompt. I cannot log in as root here, but can login as a user and then "su" to root. Not sure what is wrong. Security levels are set to normal (unchanged). /etc/securetty is unchanged (tty1-6 listed). Running all current cooker packages. I've been running Cooker for about 3 months now, upgrading along the way. The login problem occurred after upgrading to the following packages: gcc-*-2.96-0.35mdk libstdc++-*-2.96-0.35 glibc-*-2.2.1-7mdk ldconfig-2.2.1-7mdk initscripts-5.60-1mdk libltd0-*-1.3.5-10mdk libtool-1.3.5-10mdk util-linux-2.10s-1mdk m.l. __ Do You Yahoo!?

[Cooker] gtk-engines
Hello! Do you plan to make new version of gtk-engines? The current version doesn't care about not iso-8859-1 fonts. I can fix it. Should I make patch or wait until new version? Regards Michal -- Problem description: For example: In /usr/share/themes/Metal/gtk there is line font = "-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" which is bad in "not latin1" countries. I think that the solution is: -font = "-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" +fontset = "-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-12-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Michal Rokos Czech Technical University, Prague e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 36118339 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[Cooker] PLEASE!!! Tell me...
Just tell me why I only have a shitting KERNEL PANIC after installation of cooker if I try to make a software raid-1 on ide disks... Is the kernel compiled without raid boot support? It happens that if root partition (/) is NOT raid and /home is a raid-1, it's OK, but if /home & / are both raid-1, I just have a kernel panic!!! I'd really like to test this cooker... Claudio

[Cooker] printer commands & KDE
Below is a thread in kde-user. Is there any possibility to incorporate cups clients in kde programs? Ralf. kde-user thread: If you have got no /etc/printcap file generated by cups, insert in cupsd.conf: "Printcap /etc/printcap" I don't know any possibility to print via qtcups in kde (and I use Mandrake). So, if you want to modify the printer settings, your solution (temporary ps file) is the current way to go. I think that I'll also send this email to the Mandrake-devel list: Maybe they know a more elegant way, e.g. kde printer selection could show all instances of a printer (with different options).
