[Cooker] How to get fam working
Secure level = 4. 1. Change TMPDIR for xinetd to /tmp 2. Add "ALL: ALL" to /etc/hosts.allow How do I minimize the second step? "fam: ALL", "sgi_fam: ALL", "xinetd: ALL". ? seb
[Cooker] still no /mnt/hd dammit!

[Cooker] skipping X test in installer
I have seen several complaints that RC1 did not suggest to test X configuration and then selected configuration was unusable. I partially agree that silently skipping test without informing user is bad. Moreover, in this case we probably should not configure system to automatically start X at all. I suggest, that if X is skipped in installer does not suggest automatically starting X and instead displays approximate text: "Testing your graphic card was skipped due to known problem that may hang your system. Because we could not test your X configuration, system will come up in text mode. Please, login and test your X configuration by typing `startx'; you can then configure your system to start X11 automatically by using MCC". -andrej

[Cooker] imon support in the kernel (for fam)?
Does the Mandrake kernel have the brother of fam, "imon" in it? See http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/faq.html for details. The long and short of it is that imon provides a way for fam to register for notifications from the kernel when a file changes rather than fam having to poll for changes, which it seems to do currently. imon support would be wy cooler than polling. b. -- Brian J.

It's one of those nights. I changed my KDE style to Marble and now I have no kicker. It flashes as KDE starts but then is gone. I have tried to run /usr/bin/kde-config but it does not load. Is this the command I need ? I need to change the style to something else to get Kicker back. While I am at it. I changed the style because when I installed 8.1 RC! I lost my mosfet-liquid rpm. I got this through pclinuxonline, but sice texstar is down, is there anywhere I can find it ? Thanks all for your help, Chuck -- Count on nothing, expect little, hope for everything

However, if alsa truly requires /dev/snd/*, then that tree should be created appropriately in the dev- package, and devfs allowed to mount over that directory if present. Would that work better than making /dev/snd a symlink to /proc/asound/dev? Another possible (although I admit I do not know the difficulty in long-term maintainence) is to create /dev/snd-alsa with and choose the appropriate symlink at start time depending on presence/absence of devfsd.

We don't normally do security updates for contribs stuff. This isn't a set-in-stone policy, but I'm usually too busy supporting main packages for 6-7 distros I don't pay any attention to stuff in contribs (aka unsupported). One possibly compromise may be for me to rebuild bugzilla for 8.0 on my own time, but since it's a simple set of perl scripts, anyone should be able to grab bugzilla from contribs and install it without any adverse affects. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD - Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org - MandrakeSoft, Inc.

At least ther following SW does not work (correctly) in this case - LVM (because it parses /proc/partitions and it contains devfs-style names that do not exist). - ALSA (as discussed several times) may be more.

With stock kernel I got only one md status line ('raid1 registered' or
something similar), but the Linux-raid-autodetect-partitions are not
recognized. Naturally, after this I got a lot of reiserfs garbage about
missing superblock, cannot read initrd and kernel panic.
With CONFIG_MD_RAID1=y these partitions are used for raid1 and the root
partition is correctly mounted.

Sorry, this was a wrong and stupid conclusion. Service messages always stopped at alsa and another time when I was playing with alsa 'ls /dev/snd' stopped console. But the real problem seems to be autofs. It is configured for my ide zip drive. Accidently at boot time it always tries to access zip drive when alsa is loading... Now I looked at kernel messages - I know, a little bit to late. So, real bug (could be;-): autofs tries to mount /dev/hdc4, but when zip disc is not present, devfsd fails with creation of /dev entry. After this 'ls /dev/...' fails.

RE: [Cooker] [Contrib-Rpm] bugzilla-2.14-1mdk
Just making sure this didn't slip between the cracks.. There was a security update associated with this release, that I mentioned earlier and that is mentioned in the changelog/spec. I know this is only a Contrib-Rpm, and everyone is busy with last-minute 8.1 stuff, but I know there's a few people out there using the bugzilla Contrib-Rpm that would appreciate this sort of thing. I guess I should have included vdanen in the first e-mail; it didn't cross my mind at the time. The SRPM is still in /incoming, and the spec file and Red Hat security announcement are attached.

Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: New bugzilla packages are available Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:107-07 Issue date:2001-08-30 Updated on:2001-09-10 Product: Red Hat Powertools Keywords: Cross references: Obsoletes: - 1. Topic: The updated bugzilla package fixes numerous security issues which were present in previous releases of bugzilla. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Powertools 7.0 - alpha, i386, noarch Red Hat Powertools 7.1 - alpha, i386, noarch 3. Problem description: Bugzilla-2.14 is a general security update. The serious security problems fixed are: - multiple instances where valid users could obtain data on "confidential" bugs without authorization. - multiple instances of security holes where parameters were not being checked/escaped properly. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this to be an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.

[Cooker] Race condition, SuperMount
As I am going on a holiday, I am currently ripping all my CDs using grip, and last night I experienced a race condition, probably in the kernel or supermount. What I did was simply [root@home mp3]# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 248932 83908165024 34% / none192212 0192212 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda10 8385636 7173588 1212048 86% /home and here the process locked up (next device in list should be /mnt/cdrom), and it is impossible to kill it (kill -9 is no good), and I can't use cdrom drive again before rebooting :( The reason it is locked up is most likely because I was ejecting the CD at approx. the same time, so it might have got an OK in the beginning of hte request, and then times out later. I think this is a bad one, and a symptom of some race condition in ther kernel / supermount.

[Cooker] rpmdrake still gives error if try to re:download after "skip" file
If you begin the download phase of rpmdrake and you get a "file not found, skip?" message (I assume because the download site has too many people on at the time so it kicks you out for that file)... then when you try to download those files again you get a bad file error. This is because theses files exist in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms but with 0 bytes. The simplest solution would be to have script at the beginning (or close) deleting any 0 byte files in that directory. Another possibility is to compare sizes before downloading and replace if they are different. = SI Reasoning [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

[Cooker] wizard MDK
avec la RC1 8.1 il y a un wizard MDK. j'ai fait cancel sur cette appli et pour l'indentifiant connecté il n'y a pas eu de configuration des gestionnaires. la question est donc: - quelle est le nom de l'appli wizard (pas trouvé) - pourquoi mettre un bouton cancel si on doit passer directement par ce menu pour configurer - ajouter une icone sur le bureau pour refaire la config serait bien si cela est possible (de refaire la config apres coup bien entendu) - n'y a t'il pas de conflit avec le wizard KDE?

OK, but as mailtainer of RPMDrake, you sould decide to add it to your
package => whenever RPMDrake Package is installed, there is the icon.
Right? If no RPMDrake binary, the icon on the desktop would not make any
sense.
=> I`d suggest add it to te rpmdrake package and "mandrake_desk" maintaner
should deal with the need to check, if the binary is there if they want to
add a desktop entry (and if they do so, they can be sure to get the icon
as well ...)

Don't use Konqueror that much, will have to look into that more, first attempt still nogo. I may have misspoke. I don't mean I can't play it. Audio CD's play fine. If I stick a regular cd in like the install CD I can now read it's contents. Finally. If I stick a audio cd in I can't read it's contents, but I can play it with a player. Also, now that they are mountable by user (cdrom and floppy), Nautilus still says: unable to mount the selected floppy drive. If you say okay, icon pops up (well two icons) but you can read the contents and everything seems to work. If you click details when it gives you the error, it says: /dev/fd0 no such file or directory. It works fine with cdrom. I don't mind having to configure things, part of the fun. But we are beta testing here. So trying to fix problems. First they didn't work, now they sort of do work. Definately better than when RC1 was first install. Getting better. Except for a few items the one is looking and running really well.

Now './ifup ifcfg-eth0:0' and './ifup eth0:0' gives me the following errors: Device "eth0:0" does not exist. Cannot find device "eth0:0" Error adding address 130.227.117.18 for eth0:0. WARNING: interface is ignored: No such device RTNETLINK answers: File exists I can configure eth0:0 manually using ifconfig. If I try ifup again, I get above error messages once again. I copies ifup from Mandrake 8.0, and things works as expected, so this script must have introduced some errors.
