[Cooker] removing obsoleted packages
One of the fallouts of all of the recent library restructuring et. al
is that I have extraneious "leftover" unused packges on my system.
Take for example gmp. I have a system here with the following:
# rpm -q libgmp3 gmp
libgmp3-3.1.1-3mdk
gmp-2.0.2-16mdk
Yet the package "gmp" does not any longer seem to be a valid package
in either Cooker or 8.0.
I want to rid my system of all of these obsolete packages but am not
sure the best way to go about it. I was thinking something like:
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME} %{VERSION} %{RELEASE}\n" |
while read pkg ver rel; do
if ! urpmq $pkg &>/dev/null; then
echo $pkg
fi
done
should work.
Is this the best/right way to go about this or is there any better
ways?

[Cooker] Can't disable a "source" in MandrakeUpdate
In my MandrakeUpdate (urpmi technically I suppose) setup I have 4 sources: CDROM 1, CDROM 2, ftp updates and an ftp distro source. I don't actually have CDROM 2 here, so I went into MandrakeUpdate->Define Source and saw a tickbox next to each source. I assumed those tickboxes are to select which sources you want MandrakeUpdate to actually consider when looking for updates and which ones to ignore.. Seeing as I don't actually have CDROM 2 here, I tried deselecting the CDROM 2 source and the checkbox went away fine but when I OKed that and then went back toi select Reload Lists to elminate the packages listed for update from the CDROM 2 it seems to get selected again. Is this not how it is supposed to work or am I missing something? Technically I am trying this on Mandrake 8.0 but I presume that MandrakeUpdate is pretty much right out of Cooker when it is updated. b. -- Brian J. Murrell

[Cooker] Userdrake suggestion - larger icons for users
Hi.
In userdrake it's possible to select the image which should be displayed
when logging in via {g,k}dm. These images are tiny compared to what they
look like in {g,k}dm.
Would it be possible to display those icons the same size as they appear in
{g,k}dm? Also I might want to suggest that the icons are moved away from
the right click context menu onto the user details screen you get when
double clicking on a user. On this dialog, there should be enough space to
display one icon in full size. Another adavantage would be, that it would
be possible to add another button there which would allow the admin to
"upload" an image which should be displayed for this user.
If you want to keep an overview about all the possible/available icons, I'd
suppose that you could add a hot spot which displays all the icons when
clicked on the same way it is now. Hmm, or maybe do not remove the way
icons can be selected now, but add what I suggested above (2nd paragraph) so
that both ways are possible.
On the userdetails screen there should be an up-/down-arrow switching thru
the available icons.
What do you think? Possible?

Did you have a quite-recent video card? If you have NVidia card, remember to use NVidia driver that are at www.crazy-horse.net/cooker. I had to recompile it on my system for I got an SMP machine and modprobe did not found the correct module!

[Cooker] FTP Site, No updates
Hi all Anyone know why the various ftp/mirror sites have not been updated with new packages in the various 'updates' directories since about April 28th. I have been to about 10-15 sites and none of them have the updates identified on http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/. Especially those with May 3rd date. regards Dave

Re: [Cooker] FTP sites on Cooker page @ linux-mandrake.com
Alexander and Andrej, Oops, sorry, I wasn't paying close attention -- I thought they were different servers at sunet, but since they are all on the same server, you are right -- there is no advantage to trying different directories on the same server.

[Cooker] Samba share files in a linux box
Dear folks, I am trying to run samba in my linux-box conected to a laptop runing windows98 I have reached the conexion and from the linux box I can see, copy and delete files and directories of the laptop runing windows98. On the othe hand, I have activated IP-masquering, so I can use my cable modem conexion to internet (the cable modem is conected to the linux box) from the laptop runing windows98 ^_^ Bud also I would like share some directories of the linux box with my laptop, and also the printers. I think is just a question of and account and the password; in fact from the laptop I can see the linux box, but when I try to conect I need a password. Probably I need to create an account in the linux-box with permissions for use some directories and the printers. BDW the printers are using cups. What are the changes to do in smb.conf to enable those possibilities. Thanks a lot for your kind attention, yours sincerely -- Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)

Try xine-0.4.01 from www.crazy-horse.net/cooker But perhaps you'll need the css code.

[Cooker] error on "make install" after upgrade to 2.4.3-25
since upgrades never create the proper initrd, I ahve always gone to /usr/src/linux and done a make install. Unfortunately this time I got an error message.

Re: [Cooker] About GCC in LM 8

I was simply pointing out that the *perception* of the broken compiler was because people (incorrectly) expected the broken behavior and their broken sources failed to compile as a result. Yes, there have been some flaky bugs along the line, but they have usually been resolved quickly, and it's a solid compiler if you're working with solid code. -- Anton GrahamGPG ID: 0x18F78541 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RSA key available upon request "It is as natural to man to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other." -- Francis Bacon, Of Death
Re: [Cooker] Automated Network Setup

I.e. the LAN-browsing in KControl. > > what's wrong with draknet ? qt binding ? Ok, I probably didn't make myself clear (Saturday evening, you know). DrakX collects a lot of information during the installation of Linux-Mandrake. For example about the user's network setup. This is information that the user will have to enter again in some places, logged in as root, like in the Network module in KControl. You would help the user (more than other distros) by taking the info you collect in DrakX and putting it in the relevant KDE places. Similar to what you do today with the PPP setup in DrakX, which goes into KPPP. But even more advanced. Just a thought I got when I tried to click on 'Network' in Konqueror's SideBar.

[Cooker] /tmp/mcop-{user} set to root
I noticed that I had lost system sound in kde... after
a bit of investigating I noticed it was because arts
was not being started because the /tmp/mcop-{user}
directory was set to root instead of {user}. Also the
secret-cookie file was also set to root. What would
cause that? Did that happen on an upgrade?

Sure - but if you can't connect to ftp.sunet.se to go to directory /pub/mirrors/Cooker, then you also cannot connect to ftp.sunet.se to go to directory /pub2/mirrors/Cooker - right? That's what I was saying. I did not say that the number of mirrors should be cut down, I said that duplicates should be removed.
