[Cooker] QT, fonts, etc.
Hi! To get more fonts to work with QT 2.3 one needs XFree86 from CVS, or wait for XFree86 4.0.3, which is due this week. The other option is to revert to QT 2.2.4, which would be the easiest but not the best choice, according to me. Who are in charge of KDE at MandrakeSoft, btw? I just hope that this baby gets enough love and care, so to speak. I talk about adding and arranging icons and buttons (.desktop files), selecting good looking fonts and so on. If you don't have the time for that, it would be better to just use the default setup from KDE 2.1. A small example: I miss buttons for Konqueror's web browsing profile and the konsole. Let's make Linux-Mandrake 8.o the best looking Linux ever! :) Mattias

RE: [Cooker] Workable fix for fonts under QT 2.3
Please watch your attritions - I did not write that but wrote a response to it. My apologies. It is even worse. Look in konqueror - all fonts are reset to "Abadi MT condensed Light". Both proprtional and fixed width! At least, here I can really select something different. This is really odd since I don't even since this font on my list. I'm using the XftConfig file that comes with XFree86, and then I grabbed Keith Packard's truetype font package, put that in the truetype directory (which is referenced by the XftConfig file) and I've got a pretty decent display. Well, I just added drakfont to XftConfig assuming the fonts are the same. I even tried to remove everything except drakfont and fixed from xfs config and still get this font. I have not yet tried to browse with konqueror ... BTW WRF is this Abadi? Konqueror browsing has definitely improved. Hmm ... partially. Just interested, what font is used for fixed-width? I set it to 'Courier New' (famous windows). Also, what is the minimal font size? With 10 fonts sometimes are too small and with 11 overall they look too large for me. Never heard about it. I added Windows (drakfont) directory to XftConfig. It should be the same as installed fonts mentioned in this thread. I tried it too, but it is *NOT* the same. Get Keith's package and use it. Whatever is special in there is what makes it work. I'm guessing it might be the XftConfig file in his package directory but I'm not sure. I'll give it a try. P.S. Now I understand why this AA qt2 patch was put on hold :-) I wonder if it was ever tested before releasing ... This is Cooker - expect issues like this! Who do you think is doing the testing? I meant qt development team actually. I referred to my old question about AA patch for Qt in cooker and response that it was rejected being "too alpha". With the additional font package and a little bit of personal font selection, it's definitely usable and overall looks pretty good.

Re: [Cooker] ipop3d from imap package
Jason Straight wrote: It seems ipop3d won't allow me to login. On further inspection the xinetd startups for both pop3s and ipop3d are exactly the same. pop3s is supposed to be the secure mode one, I am guessing that what's going on here is that ipop3d is trying to use ssl when in fact I don't want to. Not exactly the same binary support both services, SSL and not SSL. Maybe we can create link binaries for ipop3s and imapds, so that different entries could be used in /etc/hosts.allow. Chmouel what do you think? The fact that it isn't working is due to problem with latest pam 0.74, we are still investigating on, in fact if in /etc/pam.d/pop3|imap you place authrequiredpam_unix.so account requiredpam_unix.so passwordrequiredpam_deny.so session requiredpam_unix.so which is not the right entry, imap/pop3 is working correctly either in SSL or non SSL mode. Note also that to get native SSL support with either pop3s and imaps you need to place a valid SSL certificate (see openssl doc for how to build it) into /usr/share/ssl/certs/imapd.pem and /usr/share/ssl/certs/ipop3d.pem. Regarding clients for SSL support currently on Linux there is only netscape that supports IMAPs natively. KMail had SSL POP3 support in KDE 2.0, but now in KDE 2.1 I no longer see the checkflag in KMail for POP3 SSL support. Alternative for Linux clients is to use stunnel. In Windows instead latest Eudora beta 5.1.0.X and OutLook 5 supports both imap and pop3 SSL natively. bye. Giuseppe

I was also looking to change the resolution in 8.0beta. I entered DrakConf, found something called Display and thought "Aha! That's it!", but no, the only thing there was the option to chose monitor type. I continued to look everywhere in DrakConf, but no place to change resolution and color depth could be found. Frustrating. NOW I've learned that the Display module in DrakConf was a *wizard*, but it did in no way tell me that. There was no "Next" button to tell me that the monitor screen was only the first one in a series of screens. I see three possible solutions to this UI issue. 1. Split the display options in two. One called "monitor" and one called "screen". 2. Put a Next button next to the Ok button. 3. Write in the header "Chose your monitor type and press Ok to enter the display settings." I'd prefer the first option myself, but the others would do. In any way something needs to be done before the 8.0 release. Mattias

[Cooker] Turn off Browsing by default for CUPS
Hello all, I used MDK 7.2, and since I had a little "problem" with it, I thought it might be usefull to change the behaviour of CUPS for MDK 8.0 In fact, by default, cupds.conf braodcast on port 631 UDP to find other machines using the same protocol to shared printers. Unfortunately, we have a firewall (and I think that many company have this nowadays) on the same LAN (which is quite normal...) ; the problem is that this firewall runs some program to prevent/detect intrusion or DOS attack. So, after a few minutes, since the firewall machine received many unsollicited UDP packets on port 631, he decided my machine was trying to attack it and add a "route reject" to block outgoing packet. I was then unable to reach the firewall (or in fact, he was unable to reach me), and I couldn't acces internet anymore. Hopefully, I'm rather familiar with admin. and this kind of things, so I was able to track the faulty application (cups) and change its config file to top this behaviour. in cupsd.conf, I simply replaced #Browsing On by Browsing Off Could it be possible to include this in the MDK 8 Cups config file by default ? On a more general thought, many firewall don't really like broadcast on their ports, and I think having some packages which by default use broadcasting on 255.255.255.255 without warning the user is not a good thing. I don't think a beginner user would have been able to solve this problem easily. Moreover, the most commons case today when you want to print are : - you have your own printer on parallel port - browsing not required - you use a LAN printer with its own IP addr - browsing not required In a heterogeous company's environment, with many Windows PC and (unfortunately for now) not many Linuxes, I don't think the possibility to share printer by UDP port 631 is often used, so turning Browsing OFF by default shouldn't harm many users (novice or not). Once the printer works with LAN or parallel port, it should always be possible for the user to read cups doc and to turn browsing ON on his LAN.

Re: [Cooker] Beta 1 - screen resolution - howto
I probably would have tried that, however, I do not recall seeing n "OK" button or any other button. Maybe it is off the screen and I am not seeing it. I am stuck at work, and will investigate it further when I get home. Thanks for the lead. I agree that the frst option would be best, however, option #3 would be the easiest to implement and should be the minimum implemented. A window app should be intuitive on what needs to the next step without guessing "what do I press now.". I have seen "ok" buttons and "dismiss" buttons where "OK" use to be. Very confusing on those also. Bob NOW I've learned that the Display module in DrakConf was a *wizard*, but it did in no way tell me that. There was no "Next" button to tell me that the monitor screen was only the first one in a series of screens. I see three possible solutions to this UI issue. 1. Split the display options in two. One called "monitor" and one called "screen". 2. Put a Next button next to the Ok button. 3. Write in the header "Chose your monitor type and press Ok to enter the display settings."

[Cooker] 8.0 beta1 install bugs.
I have a uniprocessor system: Pentium 4, 850 chipset. During the first install I took the time to do individual package selections and noticed that the smp kernel was checked so I unchecked it. I also unchecked aurora and autologin. When the installation finished, I saved my package selections to a floppy. My system later went down hard (that's a different story) so I did the re-install using [F1] "linux defcfg=floppy". I did a few quick checks and sure enough, it appeared that my previous selections were set. Very nice. What I failed to notice was that smp, aurora, autologin (and perhaps others) got re-checked. When the system tried to boot off the smp kernel it died instantly. If the installation program has trouble detecting the number of processors on the system, perhaps it could ask the user. Even a Windoze user could probably answer this and avoid the very bad first impression of Mandrake crashing on the first boot. Also, IMHO if one saves package selections to a floppy, that exact set of packages should be installed; no more, no less. (BTW, that feature is a great concept!) Now the other story, is anyone using a highmem enabled kernel? I'm having troubles with some modules with highmem enabled and I'm not sure if they're stupid user errors or bugs. The specific modules giving problems are nfs and reiserfs. TIA Rick

[Cooker] Can we please have a NON-AA QT 2.3.0?
I think it will be important to have a non-AA QT-2.3.0 included since you have an exclusive choice of AA'ed or non-AA'ed fonts with 2.3.0. Additionally, I understand that a few of the servers do not support the RENDER extension that is required for AA support.

Re: [Cooker] ssh X11 forwarding broken
The correct way to disable X forwarding is to use the ssh config files (or the -x / -X options). The /etc/skel/.bashrc line mentioned above is just a bug in 7.2, which I understand has now been fixed. Hmmm... I still see it on my cooker system -- I had to comment out the "export Xauthority"... Have you created your home from scratch ? I have recently (last week) re-installed my x86 box to cooker and kept it up2date with urpmi --auto-select since. So that should be "cooker reference". Looking at the /etc/skel/.bashrc (which is the default for a new user's homedir): # .bashrc # Source global definitions if [ -r /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi The /etc/bashrc: # /etc/bashrc # System wide functions and aliases # Environment stuff goes in /etc/profile if [ -z "$PROFILE_LOADED" -a -e /etc/profile ]; then . /etc/profile fi unset PROFILE_LOADED # For some unknown reason bash refuses to inherit # PS1 in some circumstances that I can't figure out. # Putting PS1 here ensures that it gets loaded every time. PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ " Which eventually ends up in: Then in /etc/profile.d/xhost.sh: # Export Xauthority for users not for root. if [ ! -z "$DISPLAY" ];then if [ "`id -u`" -gt 14 ];then if [ -z $XAUTHORITY ];then export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority fi fi fi So... when you do a remote ssh session, it sets up the $DISPLAY for you, and put it's own $XAUTHORITY there -- to be able to use the proxied X11 over ssh. Then your .bashrc comes along and destroys the $XAUTHORITY. Is this correct? If the xhosts.sh script could be made a bit smarter -- to detect if the $XAUTHORITY belongs to a ssh session then it might work... right now my $XAUTHORITY on the remote host looks like: XAUTHORITY=/tmp/ssh-XX04pbFe/cookies Stefan

[Cooker] qt 2 and unixODBC
Hello All, I am trying to compile up a version of the unixODBC gui manager, but am having much problems. It seems that it is not finding the qt 2 libraries. I have talked to the developer and he says that we need to have qt2.2 or greater. I know that 2.2.4 is installed by the libqt2 rpm, but the configurer does not seem to find it. I alsohave had no luck in taking out the default installed qt libraries so that I could install the latest version 2.3 from trolltech.no. When I forced the removal of the qt libraries it messed up my system and now I have to do a fresh install of Mandrake to get everything back to normal. I simply wanted to be able to develop applications with the latest version of the qt libraries, and in particular the unixODBC gui package so that I can talk to my PostgreSQL 7.0.x datbase server.

[Cooker] installkernel
Hi, The new installkernel script in latest initscripts (5.61.1-2mdk) seems to install the kernel directly as vmlinuz,System.map, instead of vmlinuz-$version,System-map-$version. Any reason ? I preferred the old behaviour, mainly for dealing with various kernels. Also, if you do not say you want a lilo or grub entry, and no autodetect, the script gives an error, so it stops the kernel build abnormally (at least with standard kernel trees), because installkernel is called this way: /sbin/installkernel 2.4.2-ac19 bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.2-ac19/System.map /boot Cannot find a boot loader, you may have to see why detectloader has problems or specify via the command line. make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.2-ac19/arch/i386/boot' make: *** [install] Error 2 Problem is that installkernel is not called with -l, nor -g nor -a. I think AUTODETECT should be automatic if no other flags (-l or -g) are given. Please, can you specify the logic for installkernel ? For example (X is vmlinuz or System.map): Default behaviour: - check for installed X-$version and moves to X-$version.old - installs X-$version - if no bootloader forced (-l,-g), autodetect - add entry for bootloader with X-$version - run lilo if needed Option -d (install as default) also: - checks for X, and saves as X.old - symlinks X to just installed X-$version The idea is that if you type just installkernel . (no options), you get your kernel in /boot, and a lilo or grub entry, and lilo run if needed. That is what the standard kernel makefile expects. Now that process is broken. -- J.A.

As you can see from the following lsmod display, the 8.0 installer detected the card properly, and this looks quite similar to the list on 7.2 snd-pcm-oss18320 0 (unused) snd-pcm-plugin 17232 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 5120 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-es1938 2304 0 snd-es1938 12208 0 [snd-card-es1938] snd-pcm32288 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-es1938] snd-timer 8448 0 [snd-pcm] snd-mixer 24336 0 [snd-mixer-oss snd-es1938] snd37872 1 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-card-es1938 snd-es19 38 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer] soundcore 4176 2 [snd] -- Collins Richey Denver Area
[Cooker] More DrakConf problems
Using drakxtools 1.1.5-47 Trying to use the bootdisk creator - I cannot create a bootdisk now. It appears to try to write the kernel and image files before it has even finished formatting the disk - then it says failed. There is no prompt to put a disk or warning about wiping a disk it just starts writing to the disk. If no disk is in the drive at the time it hangs and then there is a blank page - which leads to a partial X server crash when exiting(you already know about this bug). Reinforcing menu bug mentioned elsewhere - menu editor is not embedded so drakconf thinks it has crashed. Hardware - Display configuration with SiS6326AGP card comes up with nothing - blank page which then crashes X when you exit Boot Config shows a picture of Aurora when you choose to disable Aurora and shows a text bootup when you choose to enable Aurora (ie the sample picture is backwards). I still cannot configure Aurora using this tool either. Internet and network configuration shows my eth0 connection not connected (even though it is). I don't know where the problem occurred with rpmdrake and my install (it was a 7.2-beta1 install) but it has never worked. Neither does urpmi. launched from a console rpmdrake says: /home/conman/.gtkrc:1: error: unexpected identifier `lication', expected keyword - e.g. `style' Segmentation fault (core dumped) urpmi xtraceroute (for example) gives me: malformed input: [/Mandrake/RPMS/traceroute-1.4a5-14mdk.i586.rpm] malformed input: [/Mandrake/RPMS/xtraceroute-0.8.14-20mdk.i586.rpm] I initially installed from my harddisk using a bootdisk. Could this have started the problem? Phew.. nothing's ever simple! __ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au
[Cooker] kde control centre not seeing via82cxxx audio card

[Cooker] imwheel problems
In a previous message I commented on the app-defaults for netscape 4.76 not including mouse wheel scroll support. Imwheel was mentioned as being the answer. Well imwheel makes scrolling in netscape painfully slow compared to x support. imwheel conflicts with the scroll support of many other programs in an X session - in a konsole it no longer scrolls the scrollbar with the wheel but scrolls the history - interesting but not what you expect to happen. Scrolling in kpm is now a full page rather than one line. Further it stops the scrolling of many programs that did have support before - DrakConf for one, gftp and many other gtk programs. The only program I have found that it added scroll support to was xpdf which is not even installed by default. I got rid of it for this reason originally. Since it ruins more than it fixes is it worth it? __ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au

[Cooker] es1938 (SOLO) sound card Beta 8.0
Since this card worked flawlessly under Mdk 7.2, I didn't expect trouble with Beta 8.0, but ... the card is totally silent - won't even play audio CDs.

Re: [Cooker] kernel config stored ?
So I tried rebuilding the kernel with the config found in /usr/src/linux/configs, but my PCMCIA network card stopped working ! Help! How can I get my card back working (it worked with the kernel installed during setup) ?! If I only could do "cat /proc/config", I could rebuild the kernel as it had been ! Can we please put in /proc/config, so that we can really tell what is it that we are running ? It saves a lot of time from guessing ... How can I re-install the original modules that were overwritten by "make modules_install" ?

Randy Kramer wrote: I've had some troubles attempting to upgrade kde 2.0 to 2.1 in Mandrake 7.2. I would like three things: You can quite happily install KDE 2.1 with KDE running, as long as you reboot immediately it is done. Don't use any --nodeps or --force unless you know exactly what you are doing. It's not too difficult: 1. Download the unsupported/KDE2.1 directory and set to there in a terminal window. 2. rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm This will show you the difficulties. 3. Install the apmd rpm if it expected to find it. 4. Install the ppp rpm if it expected to find it. 5. If you have a libarts2 rpm installed delete it. 6. rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm again. All should be clean now. 7. If kdelibfakes.so.0 persists, do an install of libarts2 from the KDE 2.1 directory. 8. rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm All is clean? 9. Remove the libarts2 rpm 8. rpm -Uvh *.rpm If any kdelibfakes errors you MAY have to repeat with --nodeps. 10. Run rpm --rebuild 11. Run makemenu -v 12. Reboot. -- Regards, Ron. [au]
[Cooker] LM-8 Beta 1 - some problems
I have just tried the V8beta1 ISO-CD images on this machine and have some bugs to report :-) Hardware: Dual Pentium-200MMX (yup, an oldie) 128MB RAM Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI with 2x4.5GB IBM discs Matrox Millenium FB CD-Burner on /dev/hda CD on /dev/hdc Zip on /dev/hdd 3Com 3C509 network, SB-16, ?? FM tuner card I did an "expert" upgrade from a base 7.2+ installation. Chose "everything". System was booted from the Install ISO placed in the CD burner (this may be the root cause of the bug, but anyway): Problem: When the installation script told me to insert the second CD (EXT), it failled to unmount the first one...This is a gotcha. I poked around on the framebuffer console and could not deduce which process was either standing on the mount point or holding a file open. Indeed, you could not get past this :-( Installation was effectively stopped at this point :-( The rest of the script ran just fine until boot time when I ran into the already reported problem with inability to load the scsi kernel module. Fixed by booting my old 2.4.0 kernel from 7.2 (I *love* GRUB). Problem: The install changed the VGA= kernel parameters to: vga=0x0122 for each entry. This caused the screen to remain black :-( The entry I use is vga=791 which works just fine. I don't know why the installation changed this parameter for my old kernel. Residual problem: I now have a bastardised 7.2+8 melange system - what is the quick hack method for adding all the relevant EXT CD packages in the correct installation order? I've dragged in nautilus (cute but big/slow) and Evolution (very cute) but I'd like *everything* :-) I recall seeing on this list mention of running the installer again on a live system..? /Kevin -- Kevin J.

RE: [Cooker] Can we please have a NON-AA QT 2.3.0?
I've read yesterday, that KDE has to be rebuilt with qt-2.3.0 and AA-enabled XFree86, and then you have option in KDE control center to turn AA on or off. Is it true? -andrej -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rob Snow Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 11:17 PM To: Mandrake cooker list Subject: [Cooker] Can we please have a NON-AA QT 2.3.0? I think it will be important to have a non-AA QT-2.3.0 included since you have an exclusive choice of AA'ed or non-AA'ed fonts with 2.3.0. Additionally, I understand that a few of the servers do not support the RENDER extension that is required for AA support. (The NVIDIA binary only server comes to mind first) I was using QT 2.2.4 until the KDE update of this morning, which now pukes on QT 2.2.4 with a DCOP error. -rob
