[Cooker-firewall] next version
My main concern for the next version of SNF is will it be streamlined? Will it run on a 400MB or 500MB hard drive? Will all of the non-firewall stuff be removed? I've seen Firewalls that do more than the first SNF but the download ISO is only 20MB and the hard drive requirment is 200MB. I prefer the Mandrake products though because I'd rather stick with one company for my Desktops, Servers, and Firewalls. The main problem I saw with the first SNF was that it didn't seem to be refined to just a Firewall. It had all of the core architecture for everything that the Mandrake OS had and that concerned me when it came to the securty of the system. A Firewall should have only enough on it to protect the network. I can understand putting Squid, IDS, and VPN on there. But, the first version had the full X installed as well as other services available. Thanks for your feedback, Steve

Re: [Cooker] LTmodem drivers...
Ainsi parlait Franck Martin : I have found the page for LTmodem drivers. LTModem is part of the winmodem type of modems. More and more laptops are using this kind of modem (unfortunately) so it would be nice if Mandrake had the drivers in vanilla. The problem is that the binary version must match the kernel version, or the module won't load. AFAK, those drivers are not free software, so they won't be included. -- Guillaume Rousse [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html

How can I solve the problem for 8.1? i think it's a kernel/devfs/yves related pb. in your /etc/sane.d/epson:conf you should have: usb $DEVICE where $DEVICE is the device for the scanner. scannerdrake must have put /dev/usb/scanner0 instead of /dev/usb/scanner ls /dev/usb will tell you. but why ? in fact 8.1 kernel comes with a patch made by me to add devfs support in the scanner driver. this patch was officialy included in linus and ac kernel during some times. I created a device named /dev/usb/scanner as the driver was not able to support two or more scanner at the same time. after the 8.1 release the scanner driver has been corrected by david nelson to handle two or more scanner, and thus the name created are now /dev/usb/scanner0 (dev/usb/scanner1 ...). Because it was quite boring to support my poor kernel patch, i directly decided to support recent kernel only... so now, you know all the story ! -- Yves Duret [EMAIL PROTECTED] piouk toujours et meme apres !
Re: [Cooker] urpmi CD naming scheme
Big Woz [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: first of all, I'm not angry and I'm not bob Whenever I install a new Mandrake system for myself or someone else I always set up urpmi to go snatch it's rpms from an external source instead of the default CD's. to do this I of course have to urpmi.removemedia all of the existing sources, and then urpmi.addmedia all of the new ones. The thing that annoys me about this is the ridiculously long names of the cdrom images usually I get to cut and paste, but on a couple occasions I've had to type it in and even when you cut and paste, the parentheses aren't escaped like the spaces are so you have to go back and fix the removemedia line. I would like to request that the default names be shortened to something more palletable than a 50+ character name. something like cdrom1-inst would be nice. thanks for you time I will add a regexp matching for the name (if only one is found), this will allow to use cdrom1, cdrom2 (or nfs*, hd*, ftp*, http* according to install mode).

Re: [Cooker] Unknown freezes in the night
I think I may have identified the culprit (or at least another possibility). It sort-of froze this morning, but perhaps due to changes in the 2.4.13-7 kernel, did not completely freeze me out yet :). I switched to a vc and saw this message repeating every several seconds after trying to log in as root: PDC202XX: Secondary channel reset. ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_lostirq func only: 13 hdg: lost interrupt hde: lost interrupt I'm wondering if either my controller is bad (I will probably re-seat it) or if there is a long-standing bug with the Promise Ultra/66 driver in a 586 SMP computer that might have become more noticeable recently due to possible enhancements in recent kernels that make it more efficient and able to drive the hardware closer to its limits. I'm going to look into forwarding this to the Linux IDE Person. When I get crashes with the new 2.4.13-x series, I usually boot back with a vanilla 2.4.6 kernel, which doesn't lock up unless if I transfer gigs of data from a Mac using netatalk (I'm now wondering if that's related to this same error... I'll have to test it.. This also froze 2.4.13-7, though I couldn't switch VCs on that one and had to reboot, where it froze during the fsck, so I had to turn it off and turn it back on).

This system has the latest cooker as of 11/6/2001, and is running on a dual Pentium 233/MMX (Pentium 1). I have actually got these APIC errors ever since I started using 2.4.x (about a year I think..), with occasional freezes. With 2.2.x, I didn't see the APIC errors, though it sometimes froze without warning. Back when it had NT on it (3 years ago), the only thing that froze it was the Creative Labs Sound Blaster AWE64 driver (froze NT during sound playback and listed the driver at the top of the stack in the BSODs). Does anyone have any tips on how I might go about debugging the kernel? On every crash that I've had since running Mandrake, the SysRq key combinations to sync, unmount, and reboot don't work, but they do work when the system is not crashed. I'm hoping that it's a software issue that can be fixed, though I'm not ruling out hardware.. The processors felt very warm in both cases, as if some part of the kernel was stuck in an infinite loop or race condition. In some of my previous kernels, I've commented out the printk() line that writes the APIC error to the log so that my hard drives could actually pin down from less disk activity, but of course this isn't an ideal solution ;-). I've read that the infamous Abit BP6 dual Celeron motherboards were notorious for APIC errors and had a lot of crashing problems, but I'm hoping that my motherboard, a GigaByte dual-Pentium (GA-5DX or something like that), doesn't have the same problems :-) (it came out well before the BP6, back in 1997). Crashes are quite rare, but do happen a couple times each month (unusual for a Linux system). X on my Matrox Millennium II crashes sometimes, too (about once a month), but it doesn't bring the system down with it. My router, by contrast, has been up since I last turned it on in March 2001 (old RedHat 6.2 system on a single Pentium 133 and 300MB hard drive). --Steven Lawrance-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --Steven Lawrance-- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] Trident XFree driver problems
Hello, Since the last major update / recompile of XFree86 version 4, the Trident driver seems to have traded one set of weird problems for another. Previously, when using the Xv extensions, the image would be oddly sized within the window and sometimes slanted or skewed, whatever application was playing would play for about 10-15 seconds, then the computer would crash. Now whenever anything (xine, xmovie) tries to use this, the colors on the screen get all weird - to the point where to recover from this the computer must be powered down. If this were a desktop, it would be easy - rip out the card and use something a little better supported than Trident's chip. Unfortunately, being a laptop, this isn;t an option. The machine is a Gateway Solo 9100 with Cyber 9397DVD chip. Any suggestions as to who to contact? how to troubleshoot this? V.

[Cooker] Radio Program
http://mfcn.ilo.de/gnomeradio/ I believe this program is a lot better than the ones in MDK 8.1 It has station scanning, a better gui, does not default to /dev/radio and you can choose what to use, etc. Guess it would be very nice to add it to MDK 8.2 :) Onur Kucuk _ Do You Yahoo!?

[Cooker] Trident XFree driver problems
Vincent, I also had problems with my laptop that has a Triden Cyber 9525; the screen seems to be okey but after a screensaver start, a change from console to the Xwindows or start again the laptop after resume shutdown the screen become crazy with intense light everywere. So I had to return to my Mandrake 8.0 with XFree86 4.0.3 and forget the 8.1 with 4.1. My machine is a Toshiba Stellite 4090XCDT with Cyber 9525 (recognized as generic). I have sent a message to XFree bug reports, but after a month I have no answer. Perhaps we can call for all the people runing a linux distribution with XFree 4.1 to report that, I hope the XFree86 team must take care about those chips that are very common on laptops. Any advice mandrake team? Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)

Why don't you try installing from: the 'nessus-installer.sh' Because I don't like tarballs and try to avoid them where ever possible. But I'll give it a try. However, did you do a clean rpm install following the steps I laid out? Does nessus work?

Re: [Cooker] strange behaviour of adduser

FW: serious disk problems
Title: FW: serious disk problems Hi friends, I decided to upgrade my old G3 minitower (beige G3, 266Mhz, 128MB Ram) with a more large hard disk. As you know this G3 mount IDE disk. I buyed a MAXTOR 40 GB. I installed it on the first IDE canal and I installed the old disk (SAMSUNG 8GB) in the secondary IDE canal as slave because as master is mounted my CD Writer (ACER 4x4x32). Before my MDK linux 8 was installed on the old disk. After the new installation on the MAXTOR (new) hard drive I find the first big problem: the incredibly slow performance of the system: to copy 60 MB from a partition to another 20 minutes!! I tried a lot of experiment but without results. Apart one: if I launch MDK with the kernel 2.2.19 the system answer (nearly) good. If it is lunched with the kernel 2.4.4 the system became slow and instable. I read the dmesg with the two kernels. I found something interesting, I believe, but I'm not a real expert and so peraphs I don't understand and I don't know what to do. I hope in your contribution. Here the messages: dmesg with the 2.2.19 kernel about the disks: registered device at major 7pmac_ide: enabling IDE bus ID 0pmac_ide: enabling IDE bus ID 1hda: MAXTOR 4K040H2, ATA DISK drivehdc: 4X4X32, ATAPI CDROM drivehdd: SAMSUNG SV0844D, ATA DISK driveide0 at 0xf502-0xf5020007,0xf5020160 on irq 13ide1 at 0xf5021000-0xf5021007,0xf5021160 on irq 14hda: Enabling MultiWord DMA 2hda: MAXTOR 4K040H2, 38182MB w/2000kB Cache, CHS=4867/255/63, (U)DMAhdd: Enabling MultiWord DMA 2hdd: SAMSUNG SV0844D, 8063MB w/480kB Cache, CHS=16383/16/63, (U)DMAhdc: Enabling MultiWord DMA 2hdc: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB CacheUniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.11fd0: dmesg with the 2.4.2 kernel about the disks: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xxpmac_ide: enabling IDE bus ID 0pmac_ide: enabling IDE bus ID 1hda: MAXTOR 4K040H2, ATA DISK drivehdc: 4X4X32, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drivehdd: SAMSUNG SV0844D, ATA DISK driveide0 at 0xcc28c000-0xcc28c007,0xcc28c160 on irq 13ide1 at 0xcc29-0xcc290007,0xcc290160 on irq 14hda: Enabling MultiWord DMA 2pmac_ide_do_setfeature disk not ready after SET_FEATURE !hda: Failed ! hda: 78198750 sectors (40038 MB) w/2000KiB Cache, CHS=77578/16/63hdd: Enabling MultiWord DMA 2hdd: 16514064 sectors (8455 MB) w/480KiB Cache, CHS=16383/16/63, (U)DMAhdc: Enabling MultiWord DMA 2hdc: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMAUniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv As you see the kernel 2.4.2 it seem not enable the MultiWord DMA.

Re: XFree4.1 vs. Rage128
I tested these rpms and unfortunately they didn't work. My video card is Rage128Pro, and after I switched back to 4.0.3, I began to get annoying messages about locale not supported by Xlib Stew Benedict wrote: I don't know if we have any Rage128 owners that are tracking cooker, but I was told there is an issue with my last XFree patches and that card. I've reworked the patches to only update mach64 and riva, and would like to get some feedback from a rage128 user before I submit the patches to the maintainer. The new version seems to be working fine on my Mach64 based Powerbook. Let me know and I'll put a set of unofficial rpms up where they can be downloaded. Stew Benedict

I used those 4.1.0-21mdk packages. The X server locked up after it correctly identified my video card.
