RE: [Cooker] new install - background/desktop problems
Im a Mandrake user(newbie), and I would like to log-in as root in my Box, but with the current 8.1's "new behavior" I think I would just stick to 8.0 coz i normally log-in as root in my box this box is not plugged in the network BTW... I have used LM 7, 7.2, and 8.0 but with the current info that I can no longer log-in as root in 8.1 I think I should pass this "upgrade".. But I hope you just make it an option when you choose expert Install so that we newbies can "experiment" with Linux and not further push us to M$.. and also have Linux gain a more wide acceptance... thank you...

[Cooker] AutoInstall Results - Tonights Cooker
Hi, 1. The auto install for printers is working great. I have only tested the CUPS system, but I was able to install 3 different printers using various drivers with no trouble. 2. manualFstab works fine for adding both nfs and smbfs mount points, including the new (for me) 'passno' and 'freq' options. 3. after installation, the /etc/group file contains xgrp, nogroup, ntools and ctools groups with GIDs immediately following any users added using user[]. 4. I've been wondering why the telnet-server did not show up in the GUI package group; rpmsrate has it as telnet-server, I think it should be telnet-server-krb5? 5. When I use compssListLevel with no compssUsersChoice and no default_packages, setting it to 6 gets me a minimal install, but setting it to 0 does not cause ALL packages to be installed. However when compssListLevel and compssUsersChoice are used together, then changing the compssListLevel causes the expected packages to be installed. Has the capabilities of compssListLevel been changed so that that it only works appropriately with compssListLevel? best regards Dave

This new "feature" (just like first time wizard) should have been added very recently. If it were *always* so I would not ask this question in the first place. You may advice. You should not dictate. As was already pointed out, it is my choice. You should not deprive me of features in this case.

[Cooker] RC1-GMC,CDROM, and supermount
In the lastest RC1 running gnome and using gmc as the file manager you can not access the contents of any cd through /mnt/cdrom. The directory structure of the cd will be displayed but if you attempt to open a directory you are auto taken to a display of /. This happens as both user and root. The same occurs if using xwc but both emelfm and konqueror work properly. I do not have Nautilus installed, though that should not cause the problem. Using gmc if you access /mnt when there is no cd in the drive you get the error "File 'cdrom' exists but can not be stat-ed: input/output error. Also wished to mention that ide Zip drive is still not properly configured. Still is seen by harddrake only as /dev/hdc. Can correct by adding append: hdc=ide-scsi to create the proper /dev/sda entry. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow. And for too many there are now no tomorrows.

Re: [Cooker] new install - background/desktop problems
True, it might not be, however why should I loose features because I choose to do this? I log in as root because I am often installing, fiddling, testing, etc with things that most user shouldn't - at the same time I'm getting my "user" work - e-mail, word processing, etc done. I DON't want to have to log out and back in again all the time. I KNOW what risks I am taking - and choosing to take then, however I'm now faced with a number of nice KDE features being removed to influence me not to do that. The warning at the begining should be enough. Fabrice FACORAT wrote: > > Le Jeudi 20 Septembre 2001 03:25, Vincent Meyer scribit : > > Maybe so - but I hate it.

[Cooker] 1.585
Strange problems today. First I installed Cooker (this morning) and after a succesful install I rebooted and got: "Loading Linux" [snip] "Mounted devfs on /dev" "Freeing unused kernel memory: 712k freed" "init-2.05# _" The boot stopped here! Now I tried to install Cooker again and when the bootloader is going to be installed I get "Fatal: open /dev/hda: No such file or directory". Both times I used the Recommended installation class, which is almost automatic. Regards, Mattias

It's a slang term for the female pudenda or genitals, also used as a derogatory term for a female herself; it is considered the ultimate in offensive words of that sort (I have seen women who are comfortable with a range of language that makes _me_ uncomfortable cringe when they hear the word.) Other American English synonyms: pussy, twat, quim, hootchie, cooze, . . . and the list goes on. It is said that the importance of something in a culture is proportional to how many words there are in the language to describe it. We have lots of words in the language to use for penis and masturbation also. Who knew Linux could be so educational? Hoyt
[Cooker] Trying to setup as a KDevelop user - will not setup
I installed Beta 3, selecting pretty much everything, with a clean install on the system. When I tried to run KDevelop setup, it would only allow the second type of indexing - said it needed GIMP (an indexing program - not sure if that is exactly the name). Further, it could not located documentation. I found and installed GIMP (and the other required module - don't remember what that was), and it was able to find the Qt documentation, but could not find the KDE docs. Please check that, for a simple install or one as a developer, KDevelop can be used. I'm new to Linux Development (Windows programmer for the last 12 years), and I want to help with the KDE project. Thank you for your help. Other than normal learning problems (my fault), Mandrake has a fanstastic distribution. Yours is what I have been recomending to people for some time.

[Cooker] Install on DL360
Install kernel panics if I don't specify mem (mem=384M on my machine). The kernel that's installed from rpm (2.4.8-24mdksmp) works great (don't have to append mem=) It's really nice the way you did ext2->ext3 partitions (if it detects a previous ext2 partition and if I change type to ext3, it converts it, preserving the data). Install was very smooth. No major problems. -- tlyons at mandrakesoft dot com http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en PGP signature

Or better still, a /dev/null filter. But always the choice to do so or not do so should be the reciever's. What happens on the day that Mandrake gets a package that inadvertently includes an obscenity in its name? The name debugger-0.1-69mdk.noarch.rpm looks obscene, doesn't it? No? Capitalise letters 3 through 8 and try again. Goodbye, list traffic? Woe betide that sysadmin who adds filtering to their proxy. Proxy prohibits fetching ISO because it contains bad words? Ugh. I teach my 11yo daughter to detest language that is basically detestable. She avoids it far more efficiently than a filter could, and comes quickly for help when an inadvertant porn site ties down her browser and she can't close it (she likes animals, and it seems that cats in particular have become associated with illicit affection). If I don't do this, no filter will keep her from it always and forever, will it? So, two arguments against it: it's very expensive in many ways, and it doesn't work anyway.

[Cooker] WARNING: 2 different RC1 versions
Just a warning. I discovered the md5sums on sunsite.uio.no did not match on the first cd-image. I then noticed that CD1 and CD2 were timestamped differently, one around 04:00 and the other around 18:00. The md5sums file was also from the early version. So be sure to get the latest version. ftp.proxad.net had the latest version of both + a matching md5sums file.

[Cooker] mkcd2 issue that I am having
Request much better docs on how to run the thing and better docs on the config file please. when i run with the config example changing the dirs to match my own, script does not run. If I use the -a option then cd1 is 741meg, cd2 is 680, cd3 is 618 and then the script bombs saying that cd1 is to big. mkcd2 version is 2.4.3, from 9/18/01 cooker sync. My system is fresh cooker install version is 9/18/01. Thanks Jorg

I just said that if announcement for RC1 will state "the latest kernel" it will be wrong (it states this for beta3 where it was incorrect already). And announcement better explain why kernel is not the latest. That is all. What exactly do you try to argue?

[Cooker] IRQ probe hda/hdb
Hello I had a drive on hda, which was connected via ide, but not alimented, so inactive. I just removed it, and now, i have really nothing on hda (and hdb), and i get this message at boot (and so, in dmesg) This slow down boot time (which is too long BTW) What should I do? "hda: IRQ probe failed (0xfff8) hda: IRQ probe failed (0xfff8) hda: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive hda: IRQ probe failed (0xfff8) hda: no response (status = 0x0a) hdb: IRQ probe failed (0xfff8) hdb: IRQ probe failed (0xfff8) hdb: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive hdb: IRQ probe failed (0xfff8) hdb: no response (status = 0x0a)" I have my primary disk on hde (promise ata 100 controller), dvd drive on hdc, cd burner on scd0.

RE: [Cooker] mouut for zip drive
> > KDE reports when trying to automount the zip drive that /dev/scd4 (I > think) > doesn;t exist. > /dev/sda4 (should be) Yes, I know. I try to figure out what happens, but it is still unclear, and depends on your configuration. How is it connected - SCSI - parallel port - USB are needed modules autoloaded or loaded in advance (e.g. in /etc/modules)? When modules are autoloaded I believe I know what happens but do not have any (easy) way to fix it currently. -andrej
[Cooker] new install - background/desktop problems
Just did new install, Configuration, Console, Gnome, KDE groups selected, ni manual package selection, Russian locale KOI8-R. First time login, startx. 1. Background has nasty and distasteful dark red color (blood color is probably right term). When wizard starts background is changed to usual blue. I cancelled Wizard and KDE came up with this new color. 2. There is no desktop items in KDE except Home and Trash bin. To remind, I have cancelled wizard. But yesterday I did *not* cancelled it and got the same result. 3. There is no quick launch bar in KDE (or it is empty). Again it was yesterday as well. All problems are not related to 2.2.1, they were yesterday. -andrej

[Cooker] Latest Cooker 19.09.2001 - KDE SysGuard Problem!!
Hello all! Just installed the latest Cooker (19.09.2001) and it's beautiful! But I have a problem, when I hit Ctrl-ESC under KDE 2.2.1 and try to get the KDE System Guard - I get an error "Connection to localhost has been lost!" I have the standard "localhost.localdomain" hostname from the default install! Anyone? Thx, Robert Fox http://foxconsult.com
[Cooker] *MAJOR* bug in Gnome menu translations
Fresh new install; Russian KOI8-R locale, selected Configuration, Console, Gnome and KDE groups no manual package selection. First time logon as root; first started KDE, cancelled Wizrad, exited KDE and started Gnome. Apart from usual Nautilus problems :-) there is MAJOR bug in Gnome menus. All Mandrake menus are unreadable and pure garbage (Pablo, I guess the reason tooltip for terminal is mangled is the same). Comparing Gnome own menus and Mandrake generated ones: Menus under /usr/share/gnome/apps use KOI8-R for Russian description and are O.K. Menus under /usr/share/gnome/distributions-menus/Mandrake are using UTF-8 for Russian description and are totally garbled. What is strange, I have parallel cooker system that I update. It is updated to the *same* versions of all packages and shows menus O.K. I presume, it was O.K. at some time and is not being regenerated. @home I installed cooker two weeks ago and yesterday noticed exactly the same problem with menus. Whoever tests it - it happens on new *installation*. Please, do not test it on updates it is pointless. I attach GMC.desktop (good) and AMOR.desktop (BAD) as example. -andrej Gmc.desktop AMOR.desktop
