[Cooker] CookerMandrake Update, no dial-up
I've just downloaded the latest cooker Mandrake Update Robot, and discovered that it can only be used with permanent connections. A lot of people still are stuck in the dial-up slow lane, so why isn't there a way for them to use the automatic update? I'd much rather use it than downloading packages manually.

Compare that to the string of numbers and letters in the file containing the "official" md5sum (for the above, it is mandrakefreq.md5sum). If they match, the files are identical -- if not, there is a problem. There are automatic ways of checking the numbers, but the string is not that long, and this first approach helps you understand what's going on. Hope this helps! Randy Kramer

3) Check that the *.img file is now in /boot, or move/copy it there

4) Edit /etc/lilo.conf to show both entries with the 2.3.4.img

Does the installer tune the hard disks (hdparm)? Boot up into the installer, then switch to the second console. Mount a linux partition that has hdparm if it isn't on the cd, then test your disk(s).

1) Download the md5sum file, which is plain ascii text.
Why not: md5sum -c md5sum_file
Done; no need for the rest...
2) From a console do: #md5sum {whatever.iso} . It takes a while to calculate,
so in the meantime:
3) Open the md5sum text file with the Text Editor
4) Place a CR or two just below the line in md5sum where it says:
"whatever.iso" {sums}
5)Copy and paste the result from the console immediately below this line.
If all the characters match up, your download is OK.
NB: I do it this way, because
1) I usually run my 17" monitor at 1024 x 768
2) I'm not a programmer
3) I'm *terrible* at math, and last but not least...
4) I'm a dummy who doesn't want to use *any* Microsoft stuff: hardware or

[expert] Installation Parameter to Specify Video Card?
Is there a parameter I can pass to the installation script to specify my video card? The automatic detection is not working properly for my video card in Mandrake 7.2 and 8.0 beta 3. (My video chip is an SiS 630, the installation always gets hung at the start of the X installation procedure, and displays the message: An error occurred Can't call method "set_active" on an undefined value I'm assuming the installation procedure does not detect the card, and then does not supply a parameter for the "set_active" method.) Since I am not sure that the SiS 630 chip is supported, I would like to specify either the generic VGA driver or the frame buffer. Thanks!

Re: [Cooker] Via chipset bug
It only happens with big files between two ide hard drives at maximum throughput and blah blah blah read the report Whew, guess my pr0n^W files are safe for now! ive got a 30gb and a 75gb IBM deskstar both on the primary IDE with a plextor 16/10/40 on the secondary channel. I did notice that ripping from the cdrom incurred a HUGE slowdown on my system (makes an athlon feel like a 486 with 8 copies of netscape running). I figured that this could be overhead from ide-scsi emulation. Or it might be related to what I just read about. Anyways.. whats this bug have to do with the recent Via + reiserfs woes I have been hearing about? Are the recent kernels 'safe' to use, even with hdparm optimizations? Jason

[Cooker] apt database??
Hi Mmmm...am I dreaming or hasn't the apt database in the cooker mirrors been updated at least since yesterday? I've seen a bunch of new packages in changelog@ but apt-get update says nothing is new. I even ran urpmi and got 130 megs of stuff to upgrade! So...what's up? is apt-getting gonna be killed off?

The mdk maintainers haven't quite updated for the pkg changes and some entry (for the new, correct) were added but policy is not to remove if not directly compat because that would sorta mean every time you 'upgrade' you lose all of your personal icons.

Re: [Cooker] RPM Rebuild required: happy-1.9-2mdk
Did just symlinking libgmp.so.2 and libgmp.so.3 work or were there undefined symbols and stuff? This is something to keep in consideration. Go find a compat-libgmp and see what it does. Then send all this crap to a mandrake maintainer of happy or libgmp and see how they propose to work it out. There could (emphasize COULD) be a legit reason for the dependency in which case it up to the libgmp person(s) to work it out or there could be no need and the happy maintainer could just take it out. When next happy come out (rhetoric)? BTW go fetch yourself rc1.

I during the install i selected disable for alsa, harddrake and kudzu. I have both arts and esound installed, what changed? anyone? sndconfig detects the card and I can get sound but it has some kinda problem with the midi install... 3.

The icons for Mandrake Campus and Mandrake Expert have no graphic - just text The task bar at the bottom seems to be missing some icons. maybe the duplicates that appeared on the desk top?
