Re: [Cooker] trying to upgrade from mandrake 8.1 to cooker destroyed lvm

[SI Reasoning]

that worked... :-}

the question is still what failed and how should
it be fixed?

I suspect it might be a msec issue... but I am at msec
1 and was at msec 3. I believe that 1 is pretty low
security although I am not sure.
The reason I suspect msec is that I noticed an area
where it set the path to /usr/X11R6/bin in
/etc/profile.d/msec.csh and msec.sh.

Re: [Cooker] XINE

[anonymous]

Well, I had a nice long email all ready to go on this one but Netscape locked
up and then it was history.SO, to make a long story even longer, it worked.
 There was some sort of frame buffer or segfault error caused by a file in
the XINE DVD NAV RPM.  So, I uninstalled the RPM (which admittedly IS in
the beta stage) and voila, it worked.  AVI and ASF files still don't play
but mpeg's do.  I think other codecs are in the works.  The audio also synced
well.

Thanks for the help,

Jason

Ah, I didn't know the gnats bug report isn't available yet. It won't be until 
someone reviews it at gnu.org.

In any case, at great risk to my box, I upgraded to the redhat 3.1 rpms with 
the new glibc (3.0 aka libc.so.6) and the exception handling works again.

Still, I consider the 3.0.3 unusable.

Cheers.

OK, so run it in a termimal and look at the messages!  Usually
it will do this if an audio or video driver won't load.  Try

xine -X XShm - A oss 

if just xine doesn't do it.  Also xine -? will list the available

[Cooker] [fwd] [Announce] SECURITY: mutt-1.2.5.1 and mutt-1.3.25 released. (from: roessler@does-not-exist.org)

Subject: [Announce] SECURITY: mutt-1.2.5.1 and mutt-1.3.25 released.

Mail-Followup-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.24i

mutt-1.2.5.1 and mutt-1.3.25 have just been released.

These releases both fix a security hole which can be remotely
exploited. The problem was found and a fix suggested by Joost Pol
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.  Thanks for that.

mutt-1.2.5.1 is released as an update to the last stable version of
mutt, mutt-1.2.5.  The ONLY relevant change in this version is the
fix mentioned above.  No other bugs present in 1.2.5 have been
fixed.  You only want to upgrade to this version of mutt if you
absolutely have to stick with the mutt-1.2 series.

mutt-1.3.25 is the latest BETA version of mutt, and very close to
what will eventually become mutt-1.4.  Personally, I'd recommend
that you download and use this version.

The tar balls, with detached PGP signatures, will be available from 
 in some minutes.

As an alternative, you can apply the patch available from 
 to any 
1.2 or 1.3 series mutt source code, and rebuild.


I apologize for the problem, and wish all of you a happy new year.

[Cooker] plugger package change?

[Meles MELES]

Hi,
would it be possible to unlink plugger and netscape?
When you want to install plugger, urpmi ask you to choose between 
netscape navigator and communicator, but I already use a web browser 
(galeon). 
Although plugger is supposed to work with mozilla or galeon, so why 
should I install netscape. I think that this package should be changed.

Best regards and happy new year.

[Cooker] XFree snapshot from 12/27 with Trident 9397DVD / Gateway Solo 9100

[Vincent Meyer]

Hello,

Am posting this to both lists, in hope that someone has seen this before 
with either this chipset or this laptop.  The current stable XFree86 in 
Mandrake Cooker works mostly OK, except for Xv extensions crashing the 
computer when used.   Trying to use the Xv extension - before the computer 
crashes - causes the screen to change to weird colors / textures.

I downloaded and installed a cvs snapshot that was built on 12/27, and
the weird colors / textures are there all the time, regardless if Xv is used 
or not.   It is hard to describe - so I took some digital photos which I can 
e-mail to whoever would like to see the effect I am talking about.  At this 
point the snapshot of 12/27 is totally unusable with this computer.

Things that I have tried so far:

Don't set the VGA mode when booting (ie, don't have vga=791 )
Disable 2D accelleration
Various zoom modes (toggle with  or 
screen resolutions 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768
color depths of 8  15, 16, 24

Also the consoles are no longer in color - they're more of a light gray on 
dark gray.

What info / files / etc.  should I send and to who? 

ANY help would be appreciated.

Had same problem so i added /usr/X11R6/bin to the PATH statement in
.bash_profile and logged out then back in and solved problem for kde2
and kde3 

hope this helps

[Cooker] more on cd burning, and a pcmcia initialization issue

[Vincent Meyer]

The devices themselves are set up it looks like OK.  
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd is set up with permissions of 660, which 
is probably fine, however the SHORTCUT to this, which is what cdrecord
uses, has permissions of 555 - read and execute, but no write!  

Anyway, either the permissions gotta get fixed, or the programs have to
run as root.

Don't know if it makes any difference, but the drive is a pcmcia ide 
cd-rw drive.  I have added two lines to the script that starts pcmcia
card ide drives to unload and reload the ide-scsi driver, so that the
drive is recognised as ide-scsi, and also moved the startup for pcmcia
before hardrake and kudsu.  Would it make sense to have pcmcia start
earlier as the norm, so that hardware detection would be able to see
attached pcmcia hardware?

[Cooker] Burning CD's and permissions

[Vincent Meyer]

Hello folks - Happy New Year.

TWO issues that have been there a while, that kinda cropped up today having 
to do with burning CD's

We're STRONGLY discouraging people from working on their computers logged 
in as root, yet all of the front ends to cdrecord, and cdrecord itself, want 
root privilages.  Example:  Eroaster when asked to detect the recorder puts up
a dialog box saying "please make sure you are root or allowed to read 
/dev/sg*"  We should fix this sometime before the distro gets put to bed.  I 
would guess the cleanest way would be to allow users to see the devices, 
rather than run eroaster with root privilages.  

The other issue has to do with KDE remembering the passwords for applications 
that are run with root privilages.  There is a check box for remembering the 
password - yet the passwords don't get remembered.

[Cooker] fam to 8.1 box does not work

[Brian J. Murrell]

I have a Cooker box and an 8.1 box in my network.  I have enabled fam
on my 8.1 box to allow network connections from the fam on my Cooker
box so that I can avoid polling files over NFS for changes to be
reflected in Nautilus on the Cooker box.  (Let's not get into the
security issues of this right now please)

It does not all seem to work however.  The fam on my Cooker box does
successfully connect to the fam on the 8.1 box and it does get
information about file status changes from the 8.1 box but only when
the fam on Cooker sends a request (polls the fam on the 8.1 box) for
it.

I had discovered all of this because when I enabled remote connection
on the fam on 8.1 box I was not seeing file status changes in Nautilus
on the Cooker box any more.  They were working fine when remote
connection was disabled and the fam on the Cooker box was polling the
files over NFS to the 8.1 box.  It was only enabling remote connections
on the 8.1 box that stopped Nautilus from displaying file status
updates, so...

I have an strace attached to both of the fams and noticed that the fam
on the 8.1 box was doing nothing.  It was just sitting waiting in a
select.  It was only when I hit Refresh in Nautilus (on the Cooker
box) that I saw the fam on the Cooker box (where Nautilus is running)
send requests to the 8.1 box (which made the fam on the 8.1 box do
some work of course) and then the Nautilus display updated.

This polling of the fam on the 8.1 box by the fam on the Cooker box
seems to defeat the purpose of fam.  It was my impression that when a
"client" fam connects to a "server" fam it gives it a list of files
that it wants info on and then waits for the server to send messages
about changes.  Is this not correct?  Why bother enabling
client/server fam if the client just polls the server?

[Cooker] Feature request for DrakX to reduce time needed for installation

[John Herdy]

Gentle people,

Is it possible to change the order DrakX goes through the installation 
steps:

- Select the appropriate packages

-While the installation is copying the files to the the harddisk, the user 
can go through the other steps (setting date/time, setting root password, 
creating user accounts, configuring network, configuring X, etc.)

I have seen this in other distro's and doing it this way will significantly 
reduce the time needed for an installation.

Regards,
John Herdy.


Btw: Happy new year

Summary : Library for accessing DVDs like block device usind deCSS if needed
Description :
libdvdcss is a simple library designed for accessing DVDs like a block device
without having to bother about the decryption. The important features are:
 * Portability. Currently supported platforms are GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS
   and Windows. The MacOS X version is being worked on as well.
 * Simplicity. There are currently 7 functions in the API, and we intend to
   keep this number low.
 * Freedom. libdvdcss is released under the General Public License, ensuring
   it will stay free, and used only for free software products.
 * Just better. Unlike most similar projects, libdvdcss doesn't require the
   region of your drive to be set.

NB: Patched to request the title key from the drive. Should work more like
 libcss but will fall back to old behaviour if that fails.

Re: [Cooker] trying to upgrade from mandrake 8.1 to cooker destroyed lvm

[SI Reasoning]

another bizarre clue. I cannot enter into  kde from a
user account from either the console (startx and every
other command coming from /usr/X11R6/bin is not
recognized unless you include the full pathand
then it will kick out on the next executable called),
or from init 5 logon (dcopserver errors). I have also
tried connecting as a thin client to this server
remotely with the same results.

However, if I ssh into the computer remotely as a
user, and then type startx, it will work properly and
bring up X and kde properly ON THE SERVER (broken
computer I have been speaking about) not the remote
computer I actually typed the command on. 

This is just too strange for my brain Why would a
remote connection have no problem with initializing
startx or other files located within /usr/X11R6/bin as
a user but the console on the actual server refuses?
