[Cooker] hardware monitoring + SGI 1600SW
I'm trying to get the hardware monitoring working. I have an epox 8KTA+ board which has the VIA VT82C686A chipset for monitoring. And have the latest cooker installed (4/17/00 + updates through today) I installed the lm_utils rpm, and ran sensors-detect. after sensors-detect lsmod showed: i2c-dev 3616 0 i2c-viapro 3648 0 i2c-core 12592 0 [i2c-dev i2c-viapro] when I run sensors as root now, I just get: "Can't access /proc file" anybody been succesfull with getting hardware monitoring to run on board with the VIA VT82C686A chipset? On another note, I'm thinking of getting a sqi 1600sw flat panel monitor, I was wondering if anyone on the cooker list uses it with mandrake, and if so what graphics card they'd recommed for best performance, and easiest configuration with teh 1600sw. I've been really impressed with the stability of the rc1/cooker installs I've done of the the past 2 weeks, keep up the good work.

Obviously, reiser allows for several files (fragments) in one block (to conserve space?) Grub does not like it. Documentation for Grub suggests mounting reiser with notail option. That's very nice ... the only problem is, it does NOT chage existing file allocation, so if you happen to have not-sector-aligned file, it remains. I got the same problem after I converted to Resier (I have a single partition) and wanted to give grub a try. bad luck ... so much about grub being the best boot loader ... -andrej
[Cooker] NFS install troubles
Trying to install via NFS and it just won't do it. IBM Aptiva C30 (if that means anything to anyone - a friend gave it to me for free because he got a job in the Caribbean and couldn't take it with him - I cried for him, really, but I promised to give the system a good home). Pentium 233, 3c509 ISA NIC, 48 MB RAM (so I have to use NFS, since FTP and HTTP require 52 MB - who picked that number?? ;-) ), and a first generation DVD drive that steadfastly refuses to read burned CDs, leaving NFS as the only way to get the code in there. When I supply the IP (all IPs are static) and path to where the files are located, then hit enter, I can see on the hub that the lights for the client and server machines are blinking together (and that's the only network traffic there is), so there is some form of communication, but they blink about 5 or 6 times then it tells me it couldn't mount the directory. There is no error on the logs console on the client (no "RPC Timeout" or anything, just the "preparing nfsmount" line, that's the last thing). I pretty sure that the hardware is good - the system had Win95 on it when I got it (like I said, I told him I'd treat it well, so to keep that promise, Win95 had to go) and I was able to browse the net, and in a fit of frustration when Mandrake wouldn't work I installed OpenBSD via FTP (they don't have a 52 meg limit ;-) ), connecting to the same server machine as I tried for NFS, and that all worked. From the server side, I was able to mount the cooker location from a third machine via NFS, so I am pretty sure that is working too. The server is LM7.2. The "third location" machine is another cooker install. Oh, ya, and I tried all three network boot disks (the main network.img and the two "alternatives"), and it didn't help any. Ideas? Eaon

- Rebuild with kde support
Something went wrong, because qt-designer still does not display the
properties correctly. If I use the rpms I recompiled yesterday, it does.
The only change I did was to introduce a line in the build section:
%build
export QTDIR=$(/bin/pwd)
export KDEDIR=/usr(I surely should have used a ${_prefix} macro here)

[Cooker] usb cd-rw completely locks up linux
You would think I was running W98 or something... I am using a Sony Spressa USB CD-RW. The first few burns I had no problem, then one time it completely locked up my system to the point where I had to completely shut it off. No mouse or keyboard response (including our favorite ctrl + alt + backspace). Now it locks it up every time I try a burn, including dummy burns. It always locks up somewhere in the burn cycle (where we get to watch the percentage of burn left to go). I created 3 coasters trying to see if it was a setting issue, then went to dummy burn but still it would lock up. So I have 2 frustrations here... the first is that I seem to not be able to burn any cd's anymore, the 2nd is that I have a complete lockup of my linux box. One more thing I have had some random complete lockups (2 I believe). The last one happened while running konqueror in Gnome. I tried to go to the Redhat site and it completely locked up. The CD-RW issue is consistant though. I did take the CDRW off of supermount since it was creating some other craziness. I still have regular cd and floppy on supermount though for testing. I did get a complete burn of disk 1 of Redhat 7.1, disk 2 however started the wave of lockups and I even tried disk 1 in dummy mode to see if it just didn't like the file of disk 2... but still got lockup. This is pretty major... = SI Reasoning [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnupg/pgp key id 035213BC __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions.yahoo.com/

> Please see with Pablo for i18n stuff. And Pablo knows I always do that. Note that my message wasn't mainly about i18n, but about the fact that the (English) help texts need to be updated. The only i18n matter was that I, as a translator, reminded everyone that the translators need a few days to translate all the new help texts that hopefully are coming up. One clear example is the network configuration in DrakX. The help texts tells the user to click on buttons that don't exist. :) Regards, Mattias
[Cooker] java for Konqueror
Hello, Does anyone have any suggestions as to which java seems to work best with konqueror? A while ago I tried sun's, and it worked OK, but I have not been able to get sun's newer version to work with KDE's newer version, and not sure what i'm doing wrong. I read somewhere that there was a problem with the sun jdk and konqueror, and now can't find it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Vinny

I did an install using last night's cooker files on a machine with no mouse and had a problem at the point where it asks if I want to test printing. I was unable to select either OK or Cancel and as a result had to abort the install and locate and attach a mouse. Also, during the package selection, it would really be nice if there was a way to select the 'Flat File' mode. regards Dave

[Cooker] Samba packaging
Hi! The current samba-2... package includes the directory /home/netlogon This is a bad idea, installation hangs forever in my setup, which is a common setup i think: automount(pid731) on /home type autofs (rw,fd=8,pgrp=731,minproto=2,maxproto=4) artemis:/export/home/knielsen on /home/knielsen type nfs (rw,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,addr=192.168.5.60) I got automounter taking care of home. The installation of samba therefore is not able/allowed to create /home/netlogon. Yours, Kai.

RE: [Cooker] .
Dear Mattias: I would like to commend you on your information and your willingness to share it with us, because that is the necessary element that will avoid the one factor that criticizes our technology. The prospect of total fragmentation of the Linux platform is exactly that which we must avoid by means of unity with respect to issues of compatibility. Unicode was such an attempt. It failed as a consortium because certain companies including one situated near Mt. Helens (Hint!Hint!) destroyed that effort at trying to arrive at some degree of portability. The effects of that disintegration can be felt today and are regrettable, to say the least. OK, its only a trash bin, but it should be our trash bin, the Gnomes and the KDEs and the Cookers and the SuSes and the Calderas and the Mandrakes and the Red Hats and on and on Flowers and animals have infinite variety, but at the DNA level they share a unity down to 99% acording to the genome project.

[Cooker] PCMCIA Support
I have noticed the lack of PCMCIA support in the RC1 version of Mandrake 8. During install my network card is detected correctly but upon reboot the cardmanager does not start. When I try to manually start it I get errors that the modules are not there, even though they are. I also noticed the lack of the profiles at boot, there used to be an option to boot to an office profile in the lilo boot menu. I am using a Tecra 8100 laptop and hope th be able to set up the profiles again since at work I am docked and of course am not docked at home. In the past versions of Mandrake I could usually get the Xircom PCMCIA card working but not the sound (YMFPCI)at the same time. I have tried SuSE 7.1 and it does this quite well but does not have the profiles. I would like to stick with Mandrake though, will there be a way of choosing which profile to boot into in the next release? = Jon K. Miller -- Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question.

[Cooker] Sawfish - Virtual desks configuration should be different
Hi I think the initial configuration of Sawfish, right after a fresh install, should use as workspace just one 2x2 desk, instead of four 1x1 desks. This way you can drag (using the middle button on the gnome pager applet) windows between virtual desks, which can only be done when there's a single desk (divided in rows and columns). (It was a lot clearer in my mind, before I tried putting it down in words ;) Anyone has an opinion on this subject? any reason for the four-desks approach? Thanks, -- Jorge E. Gomez

[Cooker] DrakX and helptexts
First a teaser: I tried the Red Hat 7.1 installer yesterday and it looked great on the i810! ;) They seem to start X before the installer... Anyway, I'm one of the translators of Linux-Mandrake and noticed that several helptexts don't match with actual dialogs. This is a normal thing during development, but I sure hope this gets corrected before release. And also remember, then the translators need a few days to translate the new helptexts. And when talking about helptexts, the new package group selection dialog overlaps the helptext in the VGA16 version of DrakX. Regards, Mattias

I still have problems opening /mnt in KDE. Any KDE application chokes on that directory. For exaple Open File -dialog stops - I can't open files with aKtion. This bug was in Mandrake 7.2 betas too, but was fixed in final. I'm using ext2fs. I have a laptop, and my floppy is not present usually, so this might be the problem. Some other problems: 1. I installed RC 1 on a machine that has Asuscom ISDN adapter (PCI card). Install found it, but could not install: it shows pop-up error message Kisdn RPM not found! 2. Staroffice 5.2 (not delivered by Mandrake) installs correctly, but stops after running a while. This could be related to mount -bug.
