Well with a new Redhat release, new Mandrake release, and I think even Slack
or caldera ( not sure) the ftps are getting nailed hard. I got lucky
tonight, a friend @ a university got his hands on it and is letting me grab
it from him ( 400K a sec too lol)

Give it a couple days and I'm sure it'll calm down. Maybe there should be a
mirror for cooker people :)





[Cooker] mozilla and Outlook web

2001-04-20 Thread SI Reasoning

Mozilla in mandrake 7.2 runs Outlook web for our
office flawlessly. However the one packaged in cooker
runs Outlook web poorly. I get the initial page but
the javascript does not seem to work very well. Is
that a packaging issue or is the new mozilla going backwards?

Re: [Cooker] does mandrake's kernel support VMWARE?

2001-04-20 Thread David Eastcott

I installed vmware-2.0.3 build 799 tonight on 8.0 final and it seems to work 
with no problems.  I have not created a new virtual machine from scartch, but 
I do not expect this to be an issue.

I did replace the vmnet.tar file with one which contained the vnetInt.h patch 
already applied before I ran the vmware-config.pl script.

[Cooker] 8.0 install reports

2001-04-20 Thread Jose

Very nice overall, I upgraded from ver 8b3, used iso images

- After the install xinetd would not start.  I had to reinstall xinetd
package, /usr/sbin/xinetd file was missing when querying package, ok
after that.
- I selected expert mode, all package categories.  After install using
drakboot selecting Aurora traditional frame buffer would result in a
setup with no Aurora, package Aurora-Monitor-Traditional-WsLib was not
installed and after installing it, it worked fine.
- Again in drakboot, if I manually inserted user root for autologin, X
starts up with no apps or window manager of choice, not sure why?  I
just worked around it using ~/.xinetrc
- fs config file did not add unscaled to some font dirs resulting in
uglyfied fonts in kde, I guess cause they were not included in the
official distro, ( is that a feature?)

Other minor details (most probably other oss projects issues, all 8b3
issues as well)

- gtv, xmms (smpeg) needs mpegs played in double size for video to
display.
- In gnome panel applet mixer and mini-commander - graphics don't render
right (voodoo3)
- Voodoo 3 h/w accel goes slow with E window manager, tested with
tuxracer and others.

My laptop upgrade is next (Dell Inspiron 3800) which has 7.2

Thank you for the great product, you all deserve a vacation :)

Dunno.  I'm too busy to really dig into the sources for various problems I've
analyzed and reported; probably by the time 8.1 comes out, I'll be able to spend
more time with the sources.  So much for retirement... :^)

Anyway, did you have a look at the /var/log/kernel/warnings[*gz] files to see if
you had any nfsd crashes?  If you did, send me the crash data therein and I'll
keep them for analysis as more a reported...

To figure out why the connections fail, I find ethereal to be a great asset... 
If you get a trace and don't understand it, feel free to save the data and send
it to me.

"detect" doesn't mean something in that situation.

Our installer can install directly from an ISO, may it be on a Linux,
Windows, or Reiserfs partition.

Please use floppy boot image in "/images/hd.img" and follow instructions
on-screen.


Please note that this feature has an important limitation: it can install
only from the first ISO. Packages from any subsequent ISO's will not be
available during install.


This feature is provided with Linux-Mandrake since version 7.2.

There's also a kernel patch mentioned in their bulletin boards.  I think it's 
findable by going to the linux newsgroups and searching for "2.4" or maybe 
"patch".  Including this (source code included) patch is actually what I 
meant by Mandrake "supporting" VMWARE.  Not to include it, but to make sure 
that it isn't broken by the kernel upgrade.  I know (have read) that VMWARE 
is also working on their end to make itself compatible, but when possible 
it's nice to know that a new kernel/distribution install won't break the 
software that I already have installed, and which is vital to being able to 
coexist on one computer with someone who needs to use Windows.  Not to 
mention that I would think it a very useful tool for distribution developers 
who are short on extra computers and time, but still would like to give 
feedback or contribute in a meaningful way by testing applications or 
providing support over the phone for multiple versions (since it ought to be 
able to simulate a computer for use with a cooker install, another for an 8.0 
install, and another for a 7.2 install, for example).

Hello.

I've got some quite strange problems with powershell 0.8 from Mandrake

Starting it from a custom starter from the panel, or starting it from a

Re: [Cooker] /dev/hda1 at 99% full

2001-04-20 Thread Arnd Bergmann

Did you look inside the files in /var/log? Most likely it is the same 
message all the time and gives you a hint what is going wrong.
A quick fix for you should be to uninstall apache, maybe replace it with
boa if you need a web server.

The file /proc/kcore has to be that big, it is your physical RAM and
does not take any space on the hard drive.

Re: [Cooker] Ugly Fonts

2001-04-20 Thread OS

Yes, I've mentioned this before. The best solution I've found is to use xfstt 
rather than rely on just X or xfs ! It may not have anti-aliasing but 95% of 
the fonts look great and they are sensibly sized !

Use the harddisk install image. It can loopback the cd-images.

ps. If you do that i would mv the images to the root directory. Makes it much

[Cooker] Query to NT pdc

Maybe this is a little off topic, but I will try anyway

I have a network with various mandrake servers for internet and intranet
services and a windows NT serving the intranet developer domain.

I would like from a linux machine to query the domain controler (pdc) at
win nt to know which user is logged on the domain at a given time. So far
I havent found a util for NT to do that, does any one here know a way to
do this in linux?

Can samba do this?

Why is it that everyone thinks OT is OK as long as they prefix their

Think about it.  If you have to say "I know this is off-topic but..."
then keep searching for a forum where you can post your message and
not have to say that.

This list is busy enough with all kinds of other crap to start letting
people ask any old question they want.

Please let's keep this list high quality and thus it will retain it's

[Cooker] Aix slocc program for linux

2001-04-20 Thread Mads Rasmussen


Hi there,

I am in desperate need for a portation of the AIX slocc (source line
of code counting) program.

So far I know it is only avaiable for Aix and perhaps solaris. Does any
out there know of a port to linux or maybe a Aix code emulator?

I have been able to find similar progs but the interface and output are
different and thus our developers won't use it.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Sorry, what kind of patch?
The patch from Petr Vandrovec for  vmnet-only/vnetInt.h?

This worked for me with Mdk 8.0beta2. Now (final release) the module is also

about two days ago, the /dev/hda1 was about 33% full.  A couple of times

One huge file is /proc/kcore at 128 MB.  I don't have permission to delete 
it, and can't change the permissions on this file.

I stopped psacct from starting at bootup because /var/log/pacct got up to 53

Two other files tend to become monsters:
/var/log/httpd/error.log as much as 173.3 MB
/var/log/httpd/ssl-engine.log as much as 169.2 MB

I've deleted these files a couple of times, but they keep coming back.

Technically, for a working configuration, what you have should be enough,
but apparently a dynaic config via localhost is no longer blessed. I soolved
it by setting a static IP address, giving the machine a name, and adding
that entry into the hosts files.

[Cooker] Upgrading

2001-04-20 Thread Mike Hyde

What is the best method to upgrade a production box from 7.2 -> 8?  Can I do
a rpm -Fvh * or should I make a CD first?


How do I properly upgrade RPM?  I tried doing this a long time ago and
didn't upgrade RPM properly and nuked the database.


Thanks
Mike





[Cooker] 8.0 and old version support

2001-04-20 Thread Xavier Bertou

Ok, 8.0 is out, everything is wonderfull, we're on cooker, everyone has
the latest kernel, latest everything...
However, with 8.0 out, a decision has been taken to stop security updates
on old versions (7.0 and before).
I would like Mandrake people to reconsider strongly this decision. There
are people with not-so-recent computers on which an "old" Linux Mandrake
is running. I have 2 such computers, running 7.0. They have more than 60
users, a web server, and a lot of non-LM rpms things (scientific
applications).
Installing a new distribution (upgrading) is never so easy. And I only
have 2 computers, what about people with a lot of them ?
Please, please, don't push too much for new versions. I know it is not so
easy to maintain old distributions, but it is just security bug fixes.
You can have one PC with the full RPMS, SRPMS and running each of the old
Mandrake versions. You cannot just say "it is provided without
waranties". People trust you...
And remember Mandrake 7.0 is only from Jan 2000! That's less than a
year and a half ago!!!
Cheers,

[Cooker] Wal-Mart (MacMillan) Distro

2001-04-20 Thread Jason Straight

With the recent release of 8.0 is there going to be a wal-mart release that's 
different than the downloadable one as there was with 7.2?  I just want to be 
prepared when I refer people to go get mandrake at Wal-Mart.

[Cooker] CDRom/CD-RW problems with 8.0 RC1

2001-04-20 Thread Marcio Cordero

Hi everybody,
I upgraded from LM7.2 to LM8.0RC1 and most went well. There is a problem
with my CD drives, though.
Everytime I try to mount the CD-RW (/dev/hdc resp. /dev/scd0) it tells me of
an i/o error. I can burn CDs though and the -scanbus option from cdrecord
shows the drive in its place.
My second Cdrom (dev/hdd) tells me it's not a block-oriented device or it
also prints out the i/o error, depending on the moment. Automount doesn't
seem to get the mounting right, too.
I had the same problem with cooker while I was testing it and only from my
installations from mid-march on it behaved like LM7.2 -that is, correctly.
Now, with RC1 I got the same problem again. I will try the 8.0 final release
tonight but it still puzzles me. Did anyone experience the same?
I'm using automount and the drives in question are a Samsung SW-408B and a
generic cdrom drive on a AMD K6-2 400 on a VT82C586B board.  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Marcio

Re: [Cooker] Donations to Linux-Mandrake; Now it's your turn!

2001-04-20 Thread Dave Seff

While I like the idead of the donations, perhaps the better way to go about 
it is instead of looking for a handout, Be willing to provide support for 
those companies willing to pay a decent amount for it. - Like mine.  We use 
Mandrake in some parts of our datacenter but because of lack of good support, 
we are limited on what we can impliment. I rave about MDK because in my eyes, 
it's the best thing since sliced spam salad. But it's hard to convince the 
'powerdered wigs' of the company if they feel we cannot get support.  That's

[Cooker] [Jeff Johnson ] Test release of rpm-4.0.3, "Maximum RPM" online

2001-04-20 Thread Chmouel Boudjnah



FYI




Several short notes:

1) There's a version of rpm-4.0.3 with several important fixes for
1) --relocate/--prefix relocation problems
2) parameterized macros segfault
3) db1 in rpm-4.0.2 segfaults with corrupted data.
at
ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.3

Please note that db1 support is gonna be removed from rpm-4.0.3 as
rapidly as I can manage, and that db3 support is going to be
provided by internalizing a copy of Berkeley DB, none of which has
happened yet. Expect changes in rpm-4.0.3 before release.

2) "Maximum RPM" in HTML format is finally packaged at

ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/max-rpm/maximu-rpm-1.0-0.MMDD.noarch.rpm

and available on-line at

http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm

Not much has changed (yet), as I'm still trying to figger how to use
docbook macro's efficiently.  However, if you want to help edit or write,
please send patches against a CVS checkout of max-rpm:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/devel login
(no password, just carriage return)
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/devel get max-rpm

3) There's doxygen generated rpmlib API docs for rpm-4.1 available
online at

http://www.rpm.org/rpmapi-4.1

The doco is still pretty meager, but doxygen does a very nice job adding
cross references to sources.

Almost all of the code from transaction.c down to cpio.c has been rewritten.
I will put test packages on ftp.rpm.org as soon as I can figger what is
likely to be in the next version of rpm.

Please submit bug reports, RFE's, patches, etc as always at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com

And when you reboot, the problem is back :(
Better solutions is to add in /etc/X11/fs/config the line :
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mozilla-fonts:unscaled,

and restart your X Font Server (run /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart ).

Re: [Cooker] kernel upgrade still does not create initrd, nor replace links

My first install was a clean install. Maybe around
2.4.3-10 or something... how would I clean it up? I
also noticed other people complaining about it
(generally after the fact when they tried to reboot)

Same here, not much but I'm hoping with a little incintive kevin can 
churn out something good by next few releases.  Anyone seen that picture 
on rcwolley's site about windows cement?  XP ain't all that great btw, 
anything from mdk 6 and up beats the sheot out of it and I don't say 
because I'm biased.

I assume it pays gc chmou crozat pixel and the rest (of course so they 
can get blow jobs from french prostitutes while programming).  Keeps 'em 
sharp.  j/k but they do need money for...oh...food, shelter, and all the 
other luxuries of being a programmer.

I'm curious as to the real answer...

Uhm, and why don't you download?  If you want to give Mandrakesoft money,
you can donate it.  If you donate the same amount of money you would've
payed for the boxed version, Mandrakesoft will get more of the money. 
(Because there's no distributor that needs to get paid in the case of the
boxed version.) Plus you can exactly specify where your money should be used
(ie. GNOME, Cooker, .).

Oh, *PLEASE* don't!  The pseudo-image-kit is a major PITA!  There's nothing
wrong with using rsync - you can already do this.  But the way it currently
is, is a lot easier to mirror.  Ie. simply mirror everything beneath
andrake-devel/cooker, and then create your own CDs by using the
misc/mk-cds.pl script.  That's a LOT easier than the way the
pseudo-image-kit works

Re: [Cooker] rebuilding the kernel rpm for a athlon based system...

2001-04-20 Thread ja connor


I did a quick search again (I did one when I ran into
the problem)- the difference is major in the way the
T-bird's L2 cache is implemented - refer to
http://www.trainwrecker.com/Reviews/Tbird/TBirdKA71.htm

 Many were shocked and annoyed when AMD announced
that the "Athlon™ processor featuring
performance-enhancing on-chip L2 cache memory," AKA
Thunderbird, had compatibility issues with VIA's
KX-133 chipset. The Slot A form factor model would
only be officially supported by AMD's own 750
"Irongate" chipset and would be shipped exclusively to
OEM's and in limited quantities. VIA would have to
address the issue in their upcoming KT-133 chipset,
and users intending to upgrade have to "migrate" to
the Socket A form factor.
