RE: [Cooker] supermount -i enable problem
Yes. I have very old patch (I sent it half a year ago but nobody expressed any interest) for supermount that corrects it. to who ? supermount patch or supermount script ? It was to both but kernel part is not need anymore. Well, I always was surprised. IIRC my patch corrected this as well (i.e. it introduced a list of good fs types or like). I still have patch here, if anybody (in Mandrake) is still interested i'll be more than happy to look at it. Here is patch for /usr/sbin/supermount. It does add `--' when doing enable and removes it when doing disable. It does *not* prevent disk partition being supermounted - the problem is, /usr/bin/supermount does it for known fs types and one of them is vfat. We could - check for mount point names but it looks kinda silly - check if drive is removable. That needs some amount of non-trivial code that I am not willing to write. Instead it adds -m=mount-point parameter so you can do supermount -m=/mnt/cdrom enable which is probably enough (after all, you do know which drives are removable?) -andrej supermount.diff

[Cooker] Nautilus, i18n and ALT Linux
Russian company ALT recently announced release of ALT Linux Junior 1.1. This version includes Gnome 1.0.4 and Nautilus-1.0.4 *and* is claimed to fully support Russian. It means, that - either they have patched Nautilus version - or Mandrake managed to break it :-) BTW AFAIK this distribution is heavily based on Mandrake code. I wonder if Mandrake has any relations with this company. Probably both could get some benefits. They have open development distribution that is named sysyphus and works just like cooker; you can check it out from ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus/i586/Mandrake/ RPMS/ (is not Mandrake in the URL cute :-) I do not know if they have open CVS repository where you could check patches but at least there Nautilus RPM is available. -andrej

[Cooker] Rpm segfaults
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem. I'm in the process of update my Mandrake 8.0 system with a lot of the packages from the Mandrake cooker. However at some point I seem to have broken rpm I think. When I type the following command : urpmi -v kdelibs-devel kdelibs The packages download without problems, then I get the following messages: read depslist file [/var/lib/urpmi/depslist.ordered] relocated 2887 entries in depslist read provides file [/var/lib/urpmi/provides] installing /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/kdelibs-devel-2.2.1-5mdk.i586.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/kdelibs-2.2.1-5mdk.i586.rpm starting installing packages Installation failed Try installation without checking dependencies?

RE: [Cooker] Fix for supermount NLS problem (I hope)
Unless I am totally blind the fix is pass sbi-s_data as third
parameter
to do_remount_sb in subfs_remount. Currently it is
retval = do_remount_sb (subsb, real_flags, NULL);
change it into
retval = do_remount_sb (subsb, real_flags, sbi-s_data);
Well, after my poor system was busy all day long to recompile kernel, I
found the problem. It was not the above line (also it probably does not
harm as well) but the following in
fs/isofs/inode.c: parse_options()
...
if ((value = strchr(this_char,'=')) != NULL)
*value++ = 0;
...
i.e. what happens is
- we store fs-specific arguments in sbi-s_data
- then we pass it to subfs
- it (in our case, isofs) puts 0 in the middle that trashes value for
the next time
- next time the option does not work anymore:
[super.c:subfs_mount:199] type=iso9660, dev=/dev/hdc, data=iocharset
^^^
oops!
This smells as memory leak in any case. This may be discussed on lkml
probably. But quick fix for supermount is to copy options immediately
before passing them to do_kern_mount. I.e. something like
super_operations.c:parse_options.c:
if (*this_char == ',') {
/* An empty option, or the option --,
introduces options to be passed through to
the subfs */
supermount_debug (assigning remainder);
Newoptptr = allocate_strlen(this_char);
return copy_option (sbi-s_data, ++this_char);
in super.c:subfs_mount():
copy(sbi-s_data, optptr) = for every do_kern_mount
mnt = do_kern_mount (sbi-s_type,
sb-s_flags | MS_MGC_VAL,
sbi-s_devname, optptr);
and may be the same do_remount_sb in subfs_remount. Unfortunately, I am
not familiar with kernel memory allocation to quickly do it :(

RE: [Cooker] Windows installation
could the windows installation on to fat32 be put back into 8.1? I think it has been missing since 7. You're wrong. It's still there though not activaly maintained. It kindof works in 8.1, except for the reboot part which i had not the time to fix :-( If you use loadlin AFAIK there are general issues with 2.4 kernels. So if you find time to fix it you'll do big service to community :-)

[Cooker] The case of total KDE death again
It was already reported today and it happened to me @home. I started KDE via startx, up came splash screen, the last thing displayed were these KDE gears, then splash screen went away and there was nothing more. In ps I could see seberal kdeinit's, the last two (father and child) waiting on read(5,...) and read(7,...) (from memory, sorry). There were noting useful in .xsession-errors just usual crap about DCOP server already running, not ELF etc. BTW it took some time. I typed startx and went to make tea. As I came back I exactly saw splash screen disappearing. As usual, I ask myself why this should start to happen just before release ... -andrej

[Cooker] Problem with determining root device with LVM root?
During the bootloader configuration during installion, when using an
LVM root device, the device has the name of
/dev/volume_group/logical_volume which is a 3 part name
instead of the usual two part name.
This is causing a problem with the bootloader's configuring of the
Root device. I believe the problem is around line 247 of any.pm.
The following perl construct is used:
{ label = _(Root), val = \$e-{root}, list = [ map { /dev/$_-{device} }
@$fstab ], not_edit = !$::expert },
I am wondering if this will work correctly with /dev/VG/root or it
will end up producing /dev//dev/VG/root. I'm afraid my obfuscated
perl :-) is not quite up to parsing that out and determining what
will result from it.
Thanx,
b.

[Cooker] Adding more com ports.
The newer modems use com ports 5 and above. Could you add the comports 5 through 8into the new upgrade of Linux-MandrakeI will give you some information that I think could be helpful to you. I still don't get the speed and even flow of data with respect to downloading and uploading as I do with Windows 98 (I use "Tweakdun" to optimize my connectios.), but I would like to. I am using the new Netscape Navigator 6.1 and it seems to be better than the other versions in many respects. It would be nice to be able to click on the netscape link on the desktop and have it dial and log on with an optional no user intervention. Perhaps this could be done with a script? I am a newbie, but I want to be primarily a linux end user. I am using a new modem, "56K Internal PCI Call Waiting Modem" with V.92 and V.44 compression. The modem has a hardware controller and It uses comport 5. This is what I had to do to get Linux_mandrake 8.0 to see it and use it. Get in "root". Type "ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem" and then press enter key. Next type "chmod 666 /dev/ttyS4" and then press the enter key. Type "chmod 666 /dev/modem" and then press the enter key. "Here you can do a "cat /proc/pci" and then press enter to get the port, irq, etc. info.) Next type "setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0xdc00 irq 11" and then hit the enter key. Add the above line to the "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" file and then save it (overwrite it). This can be tested with a program like "minicom". These are examples of some "At Commands" recommended with ny owner's manual. Try this one first..."atfw2s109=2s38=1s37=14"- It didn't work for me. Then try this one "atfs38=1s109=2". This will try to connect with V.90 first and if it can't, then it will default to V.34 rates. This works for me. There are other examples, but I think these are the best ones. Regards, Dave Brodeur
