[Cooker] Can't CtrlAltDel
Hello, For some reason it no longer appears possible to CtrlAltDel from within X ! Sounds odd, maybe, but I have a good reason for wanting to do this ! This is probably a Linux 101 question, but I cannot find any documentation on how to get X to reboot like this (from XFCE for example there is no nice Logout, Reboot, Halt dialogs !). Can anyone tell me how to get X to do CtrlAltDel !? Thanks, Owen
[Cooker] cooker list spammed ??
Hi all, I just received a weird mail this night and I was wondering if the cooker mailing list could have been spammed. It seems that the guy who sent me the mail knew exactly my e-mail (no undisclosed_recipient@... or To : empty shit) and it doesn't look like usual spam I receive everyday. I don't think its a serious mail from a normal person as the mail body looks more like a worm mail body (of course, the return @ is unknown to me). Anyone received the same ?

[Cooker] Dialogs and windows are begining to suffer from bloat
Hello, I have recently being setting up an old laptop for someone to use at trade fairs. It has an old 800x600 LCD display. For some time it has concerned me just how heavy weight Linux applications are becoming, with things like KDE, Mozilla and Open Office seeming to take an age to startup. But now it appears that Linux users are expected to be using a 1900x1400 screen as well !! ;-) Most QT dialogs just about fit into an 800x600 screen, but a lot of the Mandrake configuration dialogs don't. Even worse, they can't be resized down. I read an article that said that Windows XP was the Fisher Price of UI's, using this comparison QT is fast becoming the Duplo bricks UI !!! ;-) (Perhaps 800x600 screen holders should be using the QT for palm pilots and the like !)

Hello, I have mentioned before that Aurora is the wrong way around, but here is another example: initscripts now asks if you wish to scan the disks if the system is not shut down correctly (incidently, when I said NO to this the disks were still scanned !). However, because Aurora only displays things AFTER the event this prompt sits there hidden until it times out and the scan is performed. After doing this the message Do you want to ... flashes extremely fast before you. I think asking questions at boot time and Aurora just don't sit well together ! Owen

[Cooker] Devfs problem
Hi list, I have problems with latest (or should I say any) version of devfs. I have two CDROMs, /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd Without devfs, everything works well. When devfs is enabled, though, I cannot mount or access the second CDROM. Devfs reports mu CDROMs as /dev/cdrom1, /dev/cdrom2, but when I try to mount the cdrom2, it always tries to mount cdrom1 (or /dev/hdc). The same goes for /dev/cdrom3 .. /dev/cdrom6 (I don't have anything like this installed) - always accessing /dev/cdrom1 (dev/hdc) ! BTW, /dev/cdrom link is broken altogether (points to '../cdroms/cdrom0' instead of 'cdroms/cdrom0)'! Details: Mandrake 8.1 devfsd-1.3.18-17mdk kernel 2.4.16-5 (occurs on 2.4.8-26 and 2.4.13-8 as well, so I don't think this matters) The CDROMs are: Plextor 16/10/40A (dev/hdc) NEC DV-5800A Also, SCSI IDE emulation is broken. On my system with devfs enabled (as opposed to disabled), I cannot: - burn CD-ROMS (broken SCSI emulation, works with devfs disabled) - watch DVDs (cannot access /dev/hdd DVD) PS: /etc/fstab is correct, I can do all of the above with devfs disabled.

RE: [Cooker] Dialogs and windows are begining to suffer from bloat
I have recently being setting up an old laptop for someone to use at trade fairs. It has an old 800x600 LCD display. For some time it has concerned me just how heavy weight Linux applications are becoming, with things like KDE, Mozilla and Open Office seeming to take an age to startup. But now it appears that Linux users are expected to be using a 1900x1400 screen as well !! ;-) Most QT dialogs just about fit into an 800x600 screen, but a lot of the Mandrake configuration dialogs don't. Even worse, they can't be resized down. I read an article that said that Windows XP was the Fisher Price of UI's, using this comparison QT is fast becoming the Duplo bricks UI !!! ;-) (Perhaps 800x600 screen holders should be using the QT for palm pilots and the like !)

Owen The problem in my mind is not with Aurora, but with initscripts. This in not a new problem. Aurora has been choking on kudzu for as long as Aurora has been around. The solution is for initscripts to be 'Aurora aware'. Initscripts needs to check if Aurora has been selected, and if it has select the appropriate switches which either skip the step (exercises like kudzu are rather meaningless under Aurora), or default the step (if a disk is not clean and Aurora is running, the disk should be audited, users who typically use Aurora won't be able to make an intelligent choice on this anyway, and could easily get themselves in trouble, audit the disk, OK?). On the other hand, when booting in raw mode, all of the granularity should function with preciseness. If I answer 'no' to a disk audit, the system should not insult me in typical Windows fashion and go ahead and perform the audit. - George Mitchell
