[Cooker] Mdk-8.0Beta Install Report (10/03/2001)
Hi all, I've tried yesterday to install the latest beta version, after mirroring from ftp.ciril.ir. So, an "hd-install". Installation would be perfect except that 1. Trying to install "/" onto a SOFTWARE-RAID-1 partition, just saying "ok" to DiskDrake, I'm prompted with "An error occurred: unknown device (md0)". I tried to build the raid after installation and it's ok, so I guess it's an installer's problem not a kernel problem... For the rest, during installation, it is all very nice and functional. I had some troubles using the beta anyway> 2. Fonts in KDE are broken (qt-2.3 problems?) 3. Cdrecord is OK, but simple user cannot use xcdroast, even adding his login name in cdwiters group and chowning root.cdwriters the xcdroast binari: [claudio@localhost claudio]$ /usr/bin/xcdroast ** WARNING **: X-CD-Roast does not seem to have the correct permissions set ** WARNING **: So do as root something like that: (and read the Manual) chown root:cdwrite /usr/bin/xcdroast; chmod 2755 /usr/bin/xcdroast 4. Please **DO NOT** use supermount by default!!! 5. Trying "df" as as user, it need 30 seconds because it searches even for floppy and/or cdrom that are EMPTY! (maybe a related supermount problem...) 6. The new lilo is wonderful, but I cannot see the way to pass him any command line like "linux init 1" during the bootup stage! 7. gcombust should require cdlabelgen to be completely functional... 8. I use 2 (TWO) hard disk for my raid, and I have two swap partitions. Installer should detect both of them and add them in fstab, possibly with "pri=1" option if raid system is detected... but it's just a dream of mine og course :~) AND NOW... POSITIVE REMARKS! 1. ppp if perfectly working. Maybe an impression but the new kernel is a miracle! 2 kvirc correctly works... strange, it's usually the last application that I can use! ;-P 3. The hd's speed is something never seen!!! [root@localhost RPMS]# hdparm -tT /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.84 seconds =152.38 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.04 seconds = 31.37 MB/sec 4. Nautilus is wonderfu ;o) 5. Evolutions is GREAT... it will change M$Outlook in a stupid game ;P Thanks for the great job you're making, Claudio
Re: [Cooker] confused... lilo and grub
So sprach Andrej Borsenkow am Sat, Mar 10, 2001 at 09:44:45PM +0300: > could learn it - but my question was, why? if lilo does everything I need > currently. I like grub more, because it does not require me to run it again when a new kernel is installed. Further, it has a nice boot menu that is able to parse filesystems, so that I can change the boot commands in the boot menu (granted, I haven't looked at a current lilo. But why should I? grub does everything i want). > Sorry, do not take it as flame war. Grub may be as good or even better, > but I never needed to even do man lilo - because /etc/lilo.conf was there. If I'm not totally mistaken, /boot/grub/install.sh was there after the install as well.

Re: [Cooker] ssh X11 forwarding broken
Peter, > If "export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority" is commented, you won't be able > to run Moorhuhn, for example, or any program like fwin (Win4Lin > fullscreen), that uses another display, accessed by F8. OK... can't this be fixed within fwin? Maybe make a wrapper for the app so these things get set when it's running? I don't think it's right that one app can demand such changes to be made, which break general functionality --> make the distro incompatible (in my opinion). Stefan

Using X11 is / could be considered to be a security risk (especially with win32 X-servers), tunneling the X applications over ssh should only make the situation better, not worse. > But i understand why one wants to have X forwarding with ssh because it is > just handy. Yup... you ssh into a box and then you can just start applications and they will show up on your display. Very nice. > So i suggest to have sshx what is the ssh with X forwarding enabled. hmmm... on the client side you could do that, how about the sshd? Wouldn't we be making things more complicated? Anyway, with the "export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority" still there it won't work ;-) Stefan
[Cooker] kernel config stored ?
Hi, I installed a cooker about a week ago, and I have noticed that there was no /proc/config, neither was there /boot/*config*. Please include /proc/config or at least /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.x-XXmdk.config Thanks, Jan -- -- Gospel of Jesus is the saving power of God for all who believe -- ## To some, nothing is impossible. ## http://Honza.Vicherek.com/
[Cooker] cooker: bash2/readline: vi mode: problem: ESC k $ r X
Hi, I don't know what's wrong with bash2/readline, but after "set -o vi", doing ESC k $ r X, which is supposed to *replace* last character of previous cmd line with character X, it *inserts* X. What has gone wrong ? (rpm -qi mandrake-release says 8.0-0.1mdk, build date 2001-02-07 09:23:13AM EST) Thanx, Jan -- -- Gospel of Jesus is the saving power of God for all who believe -- ## To some, nothing is impossible. ## http://Honza.Vicherek.com/

Re: [Cooker] kicq and kaim in cooker
I'm one of the developers. I won't be producing a rpm for Mandrake until this version is released. Which probably won't be until after the cooker releases.
