[Cooker] Beta 3 comments...
Of course as soon as I install a beta version another release comes out. Oh well. A few things I had run into: 1. drakfont can't import windows fonts. ( or it's taking a real *long* time) 2. I did have the network fail to come up after I took the machine out an overnight suspend. 3. Not as much a bug as a request... The X configurator certainly knows about the display on the thinkpad A20p, but it would be nice if it set up the XF86Config-4 to use all 1400x1050, without having to go to an archived copy... 8 looks like a winner though. -randy
[Cooker] Mandrake 8 rc1 installation
Hello, These are the things I "stumbled" upon during installing Mandrake 8 rc1 on my computer: * I got no gfx installation, I was dropped into textmode install. after a while I figured out why: I recently got a wacom usb tablet and since I also have a logitech usb mouse X died horribly. After I removed my wacom usb tablet all things went ok. * in textmodus I saw these errormessages: packdrake: unable to find en_US.po in archive /usr/bin/perl-install/po.c2z, same for en.po * during the installation, some graphic images are shown: Mandrake Control: "The one palce" .. should be "The one place", Server Software "one clic away" .. should be "one click away"? * internet configuration: I connect to a cablemodem using DHCP networkcard. I also have a 2nd networkcard I use for my localnetwork (static IP). How can I configure this properly, because since Mandrake 7.2 I haven't been able to configure DHCP usage properly (I always have to manually edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and add DHCP_HOSTNAME). * I've got a Geforce256 based gfx card, is there a way to select X4 during recommended install? Last thing I can say is that I'm very impressed by the improvements since Mandrake 7.2. Best regards, Jeroen Janssen

Yes, you /could/ find it out from the assembler code provided that you know the exact kernel used. But it is usually far easier to just look at the clear text message right before that.

That's only valid for older distributions. If you're using cooker,
you can do:

and it should spit out the contents of the macro. This also works
under Mandrake 7.2, so the %make macro doesn't work under 7.1 and

[Cooker] kernel-headers: why do they install in /usr/include?
Hello, I wonder why the kernel-headers for 2.4 kernels do install in /usr/include? Isn't it sufficient to install them in /usr/src/linux-2.4.*/include and set appropriate symlinks from /usr/include/asm - /usr/src/linux/include/asm /usr/include/linux - /usr/src/linux/include/linux The "problem" I had was: I had a driver for a controler which was only "compilable" with linux-2.2. But before I set the symlinks, I always got the headers of 2.4 for the compilation process, at least if I didn't want to modify the Makefiles... So long, Jrgen

[Cooker] Bug with smb/remote printer in beta 3
I just tried to install 8.0 beta 3 for the first time. (System is a Matsonic 8308 with on-board video, sound, ethernet, 700 MHz Duron, 192 MB Ram. On board ethernet is disabled to use a 10 mbit Coax ethernet (Realtek 1029(??), I forget the number right now, but the installation autodetected it and seemed to configure the network properly.) 1. I configured a local printer which worked fine (almost -- I'll come back to this), then I went to configure a remote printer using the SMB/ option. At this point the installation hung. Based on the message at the bottom of the screen, the system might have been looking for the printer. The computer with that printer was on, that printer was on, and the network was and is working. (The machine I am installing on is a dual boot with Windows -- networking and sharing of the printer is working fine in windows.) (I don't know whether the system really tries to look for the remote printer or not.) 2. The configuration of the local printer went fine on the second install attempt. (The installation hung at the SMB printer install on both attempts.) On the first attempt to install the local printer, I tried a printer driver that turned out to be the wrong printer driver, and it dumped a ton of garbage to the printer that printed multiple pages (of garbage). Is there a way to kill a bad print job like that within the installation, or must I shut off the printer and computer, reboot, and restart the installation? 3. Also, after selecting packages, it told me I was about to install 3 servers, (cups, postfix, and webmim, IIRC) and asked me if I really wanted to. I answered no because I did not want postfix installed, but there was no additional choice after that -- presumably it didn't install any of the three. (I don't know the final result, because the installation failed at the printer install -- when I started a reinstall I said yes at that point.) Don't have any more comments at this point -- in the midst of the third installation attempt -- this time I will not attempt to install the remote printer. Randy Kramer

Re: [Cooker] Aurora and boot probs also on shutdown
I also have an Aurora problem. During startup it's fine, but I only get the old text shutdown.

I am afraid this is some kind of misunderstanding. Matrox binary driver was always based on XFree86 driver. The only difference of Matrox binary from XFree86 was this HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) module. I don't see what was changed with this announcement. From my own personal experiences, there are more changes than what Matrox is claiming. I have documented display problems with the XFree86 driver, yet if I copy over the mga_drv.o from Matrox's site, the display is correct. So far, the problems have been limited to anti-aliased font display, but it's pretty darn obvious (screen shots available). The XFree86 driver has gotten better, and at least it's now usable without anti-aliased fonts, but with AA turned on, your only option is to download and use the binary driver from Matrox. :-( -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] Beta3 Installation Report - Two major bugs
Only two actual bugs found: 1) When selecting partition sizes (expert mode), the numbers typed in to the "size" edit box can be ignored. Rather odd, but this is what happens: If you type a number into the box, it is ignored (the partition will be created with whatever size the dialog defaulted to). If you type a number into the box, then switch to another control, the slider does not move. This is consistent with the number being ignored. Clicking on the slider left/right buttons moves the slider from its current position and reset the number in the box. If you click on the up/down buttons next to the edit box, then the number changes correctly *and* the slider moves. Hope someone can fix this - it's a very annoying problem but probably caused by a tiny typo somewhere in the depths of the installer! 2) On reboot after installation, system failed to start. Probably an initrd problem. Setup is /dev/hde1 is /boot (ext2), /dev/hde5 is / (reiser). Messages are: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). [] initrd_helper v1.0.1 [] Loading module /lib/reiserfs.o kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-33, errno = 2 VFS: Cannot open root device "2105" or 21:05 Well, no more testing for me until someone can fix this problem :-( Other comments: Captions on the photos would be nice. A bit more status information (other than just time remaining) would also be nice. Even if it's just the name of the package currently being installed. Is there a way to set up RAID while in the installer? Tried using the console on Alt-F2 - couldn't modprobe md, which I presume is essential to setting up RAID devices (never done it before, was aiming to try with this installation). Error message was "unresolved symbol md_autodetect_dev". Don't have any other machines running kernel 2.4, so was unable to do much experimentation - gave up and installed without RAID. Using remote display for installation (linux display=10.0.0.1:1), fonts were very small and no cursor was visible at any time. Michael

[Cooker] Harddrake, cdrw, (e)ide/atapi.
Installed a yamaha lightspeed (eide). cdrecord say where your scsi? Blue say huh? Blue try to figure out the whole scsi emulation thing. Much trouble to find a simple solution. Read linux gazette articles from September 2000. There was nothing to configure in harddrake, I don't think it detected that this was a burner and needed to be scsied or whatever. Could we patch in a tiny little (I guess one click thing) that would set this up for neophytes? Here is what I did (hdd is the burner): Changed /etc/lilo.conf as follows: image= label=-- root=--- initrd=-- append="hdd=ide-scsi" read-only Changed rc.local as follows: At very end added 'modprobe ide-scsi' --- Simple as anything but since mandrake is the newbie friendly distro I figured it might be good to add in. Doesn't really seem like a feature or I wouldn't have mentioned in this cycle. Just a patch to me but I no programmer to do it. blue
