[Cooker] KSpread dies reading MSExcel97 files
Hi, I have KSpread waiting forever (consuming CPU time) when i try to read MSExcel97 files. The %-barreach a value (es. 11%. It depends from the file it's reading) and then it sits and wait ... Only way to kill it is XKill or CTRL-C (obviously) A few days ago I try to load MSExcel95 file and it simply did nothing (not an error, nor a message). I thougth it was due to the filter which works only with MSExcel97. My System is Mandrake 7.2; kernel 2.2.17 (the one shipped with 7.2) on a Athlon K7 (slotA) 700 mb: asusK7M; 256 Mb Ram Matrox G400 32Mb net: realtek 8929 pci audio: SBAWE32 (isapnp) Any idea on what's going on??

Re: [Cooker] [OT] ISO C99 spec
Hi,
Anybody knows where to get (download, not order-by-mail) the spec for
ISO C99 ?
The ISO C Standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999) is available for only 18 USD either
at ANSI or at TechStreet:
* TechStreet:
http://www.techstreet.com/cgi-bin/basket?action=additem_id=2464099
* ANSI, somewhere in:
http://webstore.ansi.org/
I give a course on programming languages theory and want to talk about
new C features, like named struct initalizers, and so on, and want also
to know which special features of gcc are gcc-specific or C99 general
(nested functions, case ranges, function attributes, typeof, ...)
All of these are GCC-specific.
Status of C99 support in GCC may be found at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html
Our mighty gcc maintainer may have other sources (chmou?)
AFAIK, there is no ("fully") C99 compiler available yet. SCO claims to
have one for UnixWare but I don't really know how far they went.

[Cooker] Do you let bitmap fonts scale?
Hi! Answer me honestly now: Do you let bitmap fonts scale in Linux-Mandrake? If the answer is yes, shame on you. :) Seriously though, new users will quickly give applications like KWord a try and if they stumble upon a scaled bitmap font you'll hear a scream and see a person who desperately boots Windows again. It's really easy to fix. Let XFree86 take care of the fonts and add ":unscaled" to the FontPaths. Voila! Never a scaled bitmap font again. You could probably achive the same with xfs, but somehow it seems like overkill. The important thing though is that it gets fixed. Regards, Mattias

[Cooker] Beta 3 Install Failure (Linux Raid DiskDrake)
Hello, Beta 3 seems to have major problems handling Linux RAID configs. I tried to upgrade a Mandrake 7.2 system (Linux RAID configured) to Beta 3 and the installer failed with an error along the lines of getlist returned empty list at the HD detection section (please note this is from memory as I didn't take notes :-]) After taking a backup of the system I then decided to try and perform a fresh install of Beta 3 on the same machine. Diskdrake fails when it tries to create the raid array just before formatting should take place. The error message is simply mkraid: failed. I have tried many different permutations with no success. Mandrake 7.2 creates the RAID array on the same hardware configuration with no problem whatsoever so I don't think it's hardware related? For your info my drive config is as follows:- 5x4Gb Seagate SCSI II drives on an Adaptec 2940 controller 4Gb IDE as Master on Secondary channel 40Mb IDE drive as Master and /boot PS: After the failure of Linux RAID I had a brief 'play' with setting up an LVM system and this also failed (although I must admit to knowing little to nothing about LVM :-])? -- Best regards, Rob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] missing features in new rpmdrake ?
The new rpmdrake in cooker is very promissing. Merging MandrakeUpdate with it is a very good idea also. But some very useful (for me) features of rpmdrake in Mdk 7.2 seems to be missing in this beta : - search package by file (I know urpmf is my friend here). - select all packages button. It is very annoying to select manually 23 packages for an update. I hope you're planning to add that before Mdk 8.0 release. Keep continuing your very good work ! Pascal.
[Cooker] Reasons FOR Mandrake...
Hi Cookers! In my company, we're going to install some Linux servers, which will be used mainly for Samba. I'm going to be asked which distribution we should choose. Obviously I'd want to take Mandrake and most certainly not SuSE which is also close to being taken. Could somebody provide me with some "manager-compatible" arguments that would back my suggestion? Important arguments would be: - Acceptance in the USA - Available support contracts - Number of Mandrake knowledgable people - Technical issues - Standards conformance - ?? - Ease of use - Anything else? Now, Ease of Use is clearly a big advantage of Mandrake. How about all those other things?

Re: [Cooker] Beta 3 and VMWare
Allow me to answer - LILO installs the graphic menu by default, which does not work on VMWare. There's a simple way around it - generate a boot diskette image and boot from that, then edit lilo.conf to use boot-menu.b instead of boot-graphic.b. This is a problem with VMWare's VESA graphics support. Aurora also will not work under VMWare for the same reason. Second thing you'll hit is that VMWare doesn't truly support pcnet32 as a 32bit card. The newer kernels distribute pcnet32 for the real thing, and it breaks VMWare causing a Not Supported popup and VMWare crash. To get around this use an older pcnet32 driver or comment out the 32 bit check in drivers/net/pcnet32.c (there's actually a patch in 2.4.3-ac3 that fixes this, I think.)

But what happens when running a kernel with broken loop device, like 2.4.2 ? I my case, one of my boxes is an old P200 that boots from an AHA1520, so I ended with a new 2.4.3-x kernel installed with no initrd ( i was running 2.4.2 with broken loop), so that kernel does not boot. I do not know which drivers are pre-built in mdk kernels, in my home box I usually build my kernels, but this other box was short of disk so I had no space for kernel source tree.

All goes well and the last step the system is taken is the root .bashrc.(is it ?) From now I must have my bash prompt, did it ? There is nothing wrong with my bashrc. But NOTHING. A second strange thigs is that after logging in as init 3, and looking the /var/log/messages; it say's 'session opened for root' and 'logged in as root' ! Logged in on tty1.

RE: [Cooker] missing features in new rpmdrake ?
I'd like to add to this wish list searching for words in the packages descriptions. For example, it occured to me that I don't really need any IRC clients on my machine, so I wanted to find them all in rpmdrake and uninstall them, but using the search feature only seems to search package names. So in this case, it didn't find things like BitchX, because "irc" isn't in the name anywhere.

All installs up to this point have been text mode (GUI locked console tight). The last kernel (2.4.3-5) solved many problems (thank you), mainly the mouse. GUI install now works. During install: I use a serial mouse. The mother board comes a ps/2 port (presently disabled in bois). The kernel input core is passionate about using this port anyway. The new kernel (2.4.3-5) now gives me the choice to say 'NO' to ps/2, then I'm free to set up the mouse (first time since 2.4.3 kernel came out). But now... The isapnp detects my old ISA pnp modem and sets it to the factory default - which conflicts with the mouse, lol. I was able to reset it at the console and the rest of the install was flawless and beautiful. FYI: I've installed the distributions many times on another of my beater machines (k6 233mz w/ 48m ram, ALI chipset). Flawless GUI, full expert mode installs every time.

As a matter of fact, that's the main reason why my LUG doesn't use SuSe (2 of the 3 people that take decisions in the LUG use SuSe) during installfests or for the CDs we give away.

Anyway, rpmdrake took some time downloading all the packages, and after that stopped the install because of the conflicting xemacs-extra. First, it would be great if the conflict was detected *before* the actual downloading. And even if not, why not install as much packages as possible (for exemple all emacs packages), leaving only the conflicting ones and dependancies to reinstall ? Another example : if I try to upgrade my uptodate Mdk 7.2 to the unsupported rpms, i have a list of more than many dozen packages to download. I know (I tried it but don't remember the details) that at least one conflict occur and breack the whole installation after all the packages are downloaded. I don't want to start the upgrade again because ed-XXX.rpm is in conflict with blinking-ls-XX.rpm. Summary : it would be great to have a more fine grained conflict handler in rpmdrake. - after an update in cooker rpmdrake (most recent version), the selected (and then installed) packages list is not refreshed. Remark that with an usual install (not upgrade) all seems to work well. - filling the trees in rpmdrake (the little progress bar in the bottom of the window) is very slow. I don't know if it would be possible to made it quicker, but it would be very cool. In general, media handling give an impression of slowness on Mdk. For example, debian apt is much more quick (at least on my machine). I know that debian apt does not store individual files (as urpmi does) in their index files, but in order to give a good feeling the whole process should be more responsive. Maybe by doing some kind of "factorization" in a DB backend? Another example : after having installed some packages, the whole trees are reconstructed. A more incremental approach would be better. After all, deleting one or some nodes in a tree should be quasi-immediate. That's all I have in mind for now. I hope some of those ideas (and others) could be incorporated before Mdk 8.1, so that rpmdrake will be *the* package tool :) Pascal
Re: [Cooker] Reasons FOR Mandrake...
Another reason to use Mandrake is that programs actually compile under it. (I have been more than a bit frustrated with the odd collection of things that will not compile correctly on Redhat 7.0.) Mandrake does not tend to use experimental versions of GCC or GLIBC.

[Cooker] urpmi failing on me, the continuing saga
So I did a tcpdump, and lo and behold under the covers the ftpLIST command goes, then the results start coming back, there's some handshaking, and then a "connection reset by peer". What would suddenly start that happenning, and only on a urpmi --auto-select(not a urpmi.update, for example?) I've done other wget's (kernel source, for example) and have no problem.

RE: [Cooker] Reasons FOR Mandrake...
I can't find my last Suse Install CD I had bought (6.3), so I can't verify or disprove my memory, but I thought that the reason for this limitation was because of the included, licensed, software provided with it. At a time, several Linux vendors would have to include some comercial software, such as X servers, when XFree86 didn't support as many cards. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Vox Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 1:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] Reasons FOR Mandrake...

Of course this box is setup with samba. What a nice mess ... Netscape is not Exchange client and SAMBA has nothing to do with it at all :) The best case is if admins allow IMAP access. If the problem is security - at least fetchmail supports NTLM authentication so that passwords are encrypted (really encrypted, not just obfuscated) the same way as normal NT workstation does. I fetch mail from Exchange onto Unix server using fetchmail. I have also seen rumors about fetchmail being (having been) ported to Cygwin. I belive, there are some more IMAP clients that support NTLM. But what is actually wrong with OL2000? It is not just as bad; is just because it comes from Microsoft? The only thing I find wrong with OL2000 is that it won't run on *nix. :) -andrej This is probably not the list to be discussing this on, as it really doesn't deal with cooker itself, but since the thread has been started: AFAIK there are no Exchange clients for Linux that don't work without some type of intermediary server. Bynari Trademail has an exchange client for *nix, but you have to purchase it, and I don't think the client works standalone. HP Openmail, now defunct, had a client that worked with Exchange except you also had to have an Openmail server. If your Exchange admins have not turned SMTP or IMAP off you can retrieve your mail with any pop/imap client. This does not allow you to do any calendar, global address list, proprietary Exchange stuff, however. I believe the mail client in StarOffice was supposed to work with Exchange, but I think it actually used IMAP and not the Exchange protocols, haven't looked at it for a couple of years, may be worth investigating. You could ask your admins to enable Outlook Web Access, then you have slightly more functionality than imap through a browser. Otherwise I would suggest VMware or some other emulation program to actually run Outlook. It would be nice if *nix based desktops had a full access exchange client, but I don't see it happening anytime soon, if ever. - Pete

One other change I made in install was to accept the servers postfix and webmin, whereas I refused this before as I did not know of their utility to my install on single-box internet/office workstation. GUI is looking good!
[Cooker] video problems Xfree 4.0.3??
I can't use my x for very much or it freezes giving me all kinds of technicolor static around my edges, and rendering all open windows transparent. Only sol'n is reset switch. I have a voodoo3 2000 AGP and have experienced this in all xfree's except for 3.3.6. Except briefly earlier in the week with a different kernel How do I switch back from 4.0.3 to 3.3.6 or is this some thing that can be fixed? -m-

[Cooker] VMware under linux
I freshened up my mirror this morning and updated, about 36 hours since my last update. My vmware is now broken under linux. :( I am not, nor have I been running the mdk kernels since way before beta-1, so I know it wasn't a kernel update that caused it. I'm wondering if it was egcs stuff that I know was updated recently. Anyone else having problems like this? -- Jason Straight
Re: [Cooker] gcc-2.96 doesn't compile gcc-2.95.2 !
I have been hit very badly with this thing too. Just a guess: you can't compile gcc 2.95.x anymore with glibc 2.2 . And even if you don't upgrade gcc, you can never compile c++ programs using gcc 2.95.x better stick to 2.96 for now.

Yeah, as a matter of fact it fails building, what I mean is that I have been running the same kernel with vmware for quite a few weeks now. Something else just caused it to die unexpectedly.

Re: [Cooker] VMware under linux
I did - when I fresh boot and it tries to start the services it says it's not compiled for my kernel. to run vmware-config. vmnet and vmmon seem to be compiled ok, but for whatever reason won't load. When I try to run vmware I get a segfault.

[Cooker] MandrakUpdate problems
I have made a copy of the updates directory using rsync. I provide this directory via a local webserver. The mirror is absolutely conform to the original... When I use MandrakeUpdate to update by config, the update list shows nothing. I know that the system download the description file, because I see lights blinking. The rpmdrake package works correctly and is able to tell me which package is installed or not. I know that several packages should be updated due to security fixes, but MandrakeUpdate refuse to do it. And I have installed manually the latest MandrakeUpdate available in the corresponding update directory. So what is wrong? Please reply directly as I'm not a subscribe to the list Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED]
