[Cooker] Help with LVM!

[Eugenio Diaz]

My machine at work is an install of MandrakeFreq ISOs from June (I think
0622), and last Friday I upgraded the kernel packages to the latest
cooker (at that time) because of the big DoS and local root holes
discovered. After I rebooted, I was confronted with a huge problem, my
LVM (yes I managed to do an LVM install from those ISOs ;-) ) volumes
were not recognized! I can boot, since my root is not on lvm; after
playing with the lvm tools for a while, I managed to wipe the config
files in /etc, but I think that is not a problem, since vgscan should
rebuilt them. I was able to insert the lvm module, and get a /proc dir,
but I was not able to read the physical volume ...

I guess I need to install a new set of the lvm tools (I am compiling
them statically from the rpm right now); am I right?

[Cooker] konc and macromedia...

[Oden Eriksson]

Hi folks,

Visiting this link "http://www.ipkonfig.com/Reviews/Misc/FeelingPC-IceHole/"; 
with "Konqueror" results in a whopping 8 (!) poput windows to the macromedia 
download site... Is there a way to prevent this, like including the damn 
thing in the Mandrake distro?

I hate lame web designers..., what's wrong with plain old html?

[Cooker] depmod at boot

[Oden Eriksson]

Hi fellow chefs,

I wonder why the "depmod -a -F /boot/System.map" has to be runs at every 
boot, I'm setting up a P100, 32MB RAM to act as a firewall here, and this rc 
step takes forever (maybe 5 minutes) to complete.

Wouldn't it be smarter to run this whenever the kernel has changed, and not 
regardless of ?

Thanks.

This is actually devfs bug but restoring /dev as in above is evil in any

yes.  think about the stability that is meant to be associated with the

a few big flukes (devfs call had to be made and i am not as sure as 
others that it was wrong, esp with its easy dont-use-it-ability)

I'm guessing that the development period of kde3 is much longer than that of
Mandrake 8.2. I'm sure they want a stable kde in the final release of 8.2,
so they are probably waiting until 8.2 is released before they put kde3 in
cooker... i may be wrong, but that's my guess.

In my experience with the rescue mode on the CD, some degree of

[Cooker] CD Rescue Mode: Is this normal? If so have a wishlist.

[David]

Was playing with Bastille firewall config and screwed the system up and 
X wouldn't start. Luckily I saved a backup copy in the same folder. That 
is when I noticed some of the limitation.

Just wondering if this is normal.

1) If use the 'less' command piped with a command you have to hit: Shift 
zz   in order to exit. Had to write that one down.

2) If you want to rename something you have to give the exact directory 
where 'rename' is. I had to /mnt/usr/bin/rename  to use the command.

3) vim doesn't work. Only vi works. And you have to /mnt/bin/vi to get 
that to work.

I can never get that rename command to work anyway, need to look up the 
syntax better right after this. So I deleted the firewall script and 
rebooted and then changed the name back.

So does every command have to have the exact directory it is in to work.
IF so, then that is a wish list of possible please to change that.

Need to use the 'less' command a lot to see everything. If having to use
Shift zz to it to exit, then could we please make it work with 'Ctrl z' 
and 'Ctrl c' also.

Hard remembering all the commands, then if have to use the rescue cd 
having to use different keys and command names (ie /mnt/bin/vi)

Please, pretty please.

Okay found the problem. The setting in Konquerorsu were set correctly

text was there, but was white against a white background. Mouse wheel

[Cooker] More info on konquerorsu and losing mouse wheel.

[David]

Okay, scenerio was: SuperUser File Manager (konquerorsu) icons there,
but no file descriptions and mouse wheel stops working.

Found that mouse wheel works fine as long as you don't start
Konquerorsu. Then it still works after you start it, as soon as you
exit it, the mouse wheel stops working. The file/folder details are bad
enough, but why the mouse wheel stops working. Even running it from 
terminal doesn't seem to give a clue. Logging out and back in fixes the 
mouse wheel problem.

Rpmfind must be down so can't tell, except with rpmdrake if
kdelibs-2.2.1-8mdk is the latest. The kdebase is -2.2.1-10mdk.
If kdebase requires the same version kdelibs then the dependancy is 
broken cause rpmdrake never said anything about it.

My sensor is via686a-isa-6000.  There is no compute line for temperature 
for this chip (except for limits).  The temperature and fan fairly 
accurately reflect the BIOS though.  However, these lines for voltages do 
not, no matter how many times I tweak them...
  compute "2.0V" 1.08*@ ,  @/1.08
  compute "3.3V" 1.02*@  ,  @/1.02
  compute "5.0V" 1.009*@  ,  @/1.009
  compute "12V" 1.04*@ ,  @/1.04

The authors of sensors.conf admit that the conversions are only their 
best guess anyhow.

For gkrellm?  You've got it if you use KDE.  I start mine from this file: 
 /usr/share/autostart/gkrellm.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Gkrellm
Exec=kstart --ontop --alldesktops --skiptaskbar -- gkrellm
Icon=gkrellm
Type=Application
Terminal=0
X-KDE-autostart-after=panel

So gkrellm displays on startup on every desktop, on top, and doesn't even 
waste any space on the taskbar :-)

What kind of board?  Asus?  From what I can tell over at lm_sensors HQ
those f*ckers (Asus, not the fine lm_sensors folx) don't seem to want
to give up the formula.  See if I ever buy another Asus product.

It would be easier for us all to "figure out" the formula if we could
read the values in the BIOS right from Linux rather than having to
reboot and go into the BIOS manually all the time.

Do you really have 69.4C CPU temp? Is not it a bit ehh ... extreme?

What sensor do you have? Have you looked into /etc/sensors.conf? Just
take compute line from there and put into gkrellm configuration. For my
case (ASUS CUSL2) values look very near to reality (at least, ASUS PC
Probe in Windows shows the same values).

e.g. in my case CPU temp reads:

 compute temp2 (@*30/43)+25, (@-25)*43/30 

that gives you a factor 0.6977 and offset 25.

Wait until everthing is recompiled with png3. Currently you have some
libraries that use png2 and some libraries that use png3 so when
application is using both, it is very likely to fail. Just consider:

{pts/1}% ldd =alarmd
...
libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40c27000)
...
libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x40f54000)

whatever is used, some library will be unhappy.

[Cooker] libpng wierdness

[Michael Nelson]

Running cooker 8.1... lots of problems complain about libpng,
this is from a run of kpm:

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.0
libpng warning: Application  is running with png.c from libpng-1.0.12
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

This repeats over and over again.  

# rpm -qa | grep libpng
  libpng2-1.0.12-2mdk
  libpng3-1.2.0-3mdk
  libpng3-devel-1.2.0-3mdk

I seem to recall a discussion about this from 2 or 3 weeks ago,
but I wasn't having the problem then so didn't pay much
attention to it.  But since I've been having the problem, I
went back and tried searching the cooker archives but didn't
find the topic.

Anyone remember what the solution to this is?

Thanks!

Generally no, 8.1 was the best install, and upgrade of any Linux
ever for me. I upgraded my firewall/internet gateway, and it only
took me 1.5hrs to get everything going again; much of an
improvement over 7.2->8.0 upgrade.

I find it hard to resist upgrading components from cooker though,
and am quite happy with things at the moment.

It turned out, in sensors config pane you have to enter "cpu" and "mb"
in *lower case* even if they are *upper case* by default. Now it really

Make sure that if you add your own rpm's that they are signed. This will 
lessen the chances of having rpm's not show up during install.

gendistrib for making hdlists and other files
mkcds for creating CD images 
man rpmtools for some general usage

I do not know if there is any description but they are just perl scripts

Of course, you still need install images from original CD. The above

[Cooker] Burning a modified Mandrake-CD

One last question... ;o)
Is there a document where I can learn how to customize a Mandrake CD?
I mean that I could find a small document that discrebes the procedure for 
RedHat Linux, but anyway it's a very very preliminar "howto". I'd like to 
learn how to change rpms (with other version), regenerate hdlists, prepare 
boot images and so on. If there's a place where I can learn, thanks. 
Otherwise... I'll use Mandrake as it is  :o)

PS) I'd like to prepare a CD with a "mini" distribution: just WindowMaker, 
apache, php and few other things. Any hint?

If also emacs or ctags is installed, the /usr/bin/ctags link will be

/usr/bin/xemacs-ctags for the ctags that's shipped with xemacs-extras.

Re: [Cooker] Problem with rpmdrake

[Brian Ober]

Guys,

Thanks for your help.  I downloaded the latest rpmdrake and the problem went 
away.  However, now when I attempt to download anything I get an 
"initialization failed" error.   This happens everytime...  If I run rpmdrake 
from a xterm, I see no warnings/errors that would help describe the actual 
problem.

Overall, I love Mandrake, but I will say that I have had more problems with 
8.1 than anyother version of their distribution.  Both rpmdrake and XFree86 
are _really_ buggy in this distribution.  I have the latest versions via 
cooker and they still are broken (I have submitted both issues to the 
Mandrake quality team). 

What I am wondering is if these problems are experienced by all 8.1 users.  
Or is it something to do with a combination of my computer, software 
configuration, etc... 

Thanks again for your help and hopefully I get these issues fixed.

take care.
Brian

The -i eth1 doesn't work it says it can't be used in postrouting.

Ok tried the static arp with the same results.
I also used "ip address add 172.16.231.x dev eth0" which put the ips on
eth0 with the same results.

According to this review it's not very promising at the moment.
With cdrw's it mostly screwed up the cdrw's.
I guess that won't be fun with more expensive dvd's.

I have been nagging Mandrake with exactly this problem (USR internal
modems) since 7.2. Harddrake has not been actively maintained since this
release it seems; there were a couple of cosmetic changes, no more.

Somebody said after 8.1 release that he would try to do further
development; I would not hold my breath :(

Yes I was about to suggest the same. You can also do

-i eth1 -o eth0

to match only packets from your internal network.

I have one idea that explains why internal boxes do not work; it does
not explain why you can ping external box though :-)

It may be possible that for every SNAT rule in POSTROUTING the kernel
internal sets up matching DNAT rul in PREROUTING (actually it is really
the case). In this case it may happen that your reply packets are not
matched because they come to diffrent interfaces.

You have eth0 with 61 and eth0:0, eth0:1, eth0:2 with 57, 58, 59
correspondingly. You setup your DNAT for packets coming *out of* eth0;
it may be possible that SNAT rule will match only packets coming *into*
eth0.

But replies packets in this case are coming into *different interfaces*,
notably eth0:0 through eth0:2. And are ignored by NAT. I looked into
netfilter code but it was way too complicated.

Try following.

1. remove all alias interfaces. Define SNAT to basic address only, i.e.
to 61 (address of your true interface). See if it works.

2. if it works define static arp entries for your additional addresses;
see man arp, it looks like

arp -s 172.16.231.57 
...
check if it works.

Is it possible to define alias without defining new interface?

At present the UDF filesystem creation is more than premature on linux, or
at least I do not know how to make bootable UDF filesystem and to burn
then on the DVD.

That is why the Mandrake Linux DVD is a 4.5 GB iso file.

But you can generate a DVD iso file with mkcd2, just specifying 4.5
GiB as the disc size instead of 650 MiB.
