[Cooker] menudrake proposal
Here are a few ideas that can make menudrake better: non-mandraked rpms generally place their shortcuts in either a gnome or kde default app folder, so why not have menudrake read these folders and have those shortcuts available in the "available applications" section. an alternate file manager view where all of the shortcut directories can be viewed with the main mandrake unified menus the largest... so you can drag and drop into mdk's. The option to do menudrake as root (and therefore do system menu's) when accessed from right-click,properties on the kde start menu button. The ability to drag and drop from nautilus or konqueror into menudrake The ability to drag and drop from the gnome or kde desktop into menudrake. This would allow for simple icon creation on the desktop, then open up menudrake and drag and drop it into the section of choice. = SI Reasoning [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

[Cooker] AXP-mandrake
Hi all, Just recently I searched for ImageMagick for alpha on rpmfind.net and wondered that the newest version is in the Mandrake-cooker distribution! As I thought this one is dead for alpha (the last official Mandrake for alpha is 7.1), I got a nice surprise. Looking at the cooker-directory I saw all the newest modules (KDE 2.2.2, KOffice 1.1.1 a.s.o.) readily compiled. Now I wonder: do you guyz plan to release a AXP-Mandrake again, or are these rpms just automatically generated? If I download them, do I have any chance of getting them to work (I wouldn't ask if I already had my ADSL...) Is there active development? Is this the right list to ask questions about AXP-Mandrake? Thanks in advance, Ineiti

[Cooker] "KDE applnk directory" & evolution BuildRequires
Hi, I'm trying to get the BuildRequires for evolution right. At the moment I've got all of them listed, but when I rebuild the packge on an empty system it complains that it can't find the "KDE applnk directory" which results in: RPM build errors: File not found by glob: /home/cooker/tmp/evolution-1.0-root/usr/share/applnk /*/* At the moment the following cooker packages provide the "KDE applnk directory" ( /usr/share/applnk ): qtrans ktelnet ksetiwatch knetload kmago kvirc kdemultimedia-aktion kdeadmin kdevelop kdetoys kdepim koffice kdenetwork kdegames kdeutils kdesdk kdemultimedia kdegraphics kdebase But which package is supposed to own it? In my opinion none of the above (since the package lowest in the RPM hierarchy should own it, and none of these packages is required by the rest) but *kdelibs* (all packages seem to require kdelibs). Can the directory /usr/share/applnk be added to the kdelibs package, and removed from the packages above? Thanks you. Stefan van der Eijk

No it needs it only if you have .Xdefaults in CPP format

Hmm as log as you dont ask your(mandrake) clients additional fee for this
SOFTWARE PRODUCT (They are not sold seperaty but included with Mandrake-Linux product)
you can include them(ttfs) if you will not modify them and will include
EULA.
IMHO.

If specified, xfs will attempt to run as user and

This is equivalent to -droppriv except that xfs will run as

So you can remove -user xfs from the file.

Everything was fine exept : -)
1) No banners during installation (you just disabled it for now?)
1.1) Got kernel panick at the end of installation and some errors.
2) Now you have to rebuild alot of pkgs like pygtk after you updated
python.
3) IceWM Some themes still use default mandrake "Start" buttom.
(+Broken Cyrillic fonts).
4) KDM display one system user gice. please add this youer to the ignore

5) What about removing ugly fonts (XFree86-100dpi-fonts) and installing
TTF by default? You can find good free fonts on the internet imho.
6) After installation i got gcc-cpp-2.96-0.69mdk and gcc3.0-cpp-3.0.3-1mdk

[Cooker] NFS (cache?) bug with mdk-specific kernels
After a complete crash (user error :-), I reinstalled my box using recent cooker CD's (more or less up to date). Doing so I discovered a problem I had not seen before - newly created files (for example compiled programs) in my NFS home directory were not executable. After some debugging I figured out that the file actually was executable on the NFS server (which is running Mandrake 7.1 with a 2.2 kernel). After some frustration I installed the "plain" kernel, kernel-linus2.4-2.4.16-4mdk to be exact. Now I do not have such a problem. Thus some patch in the mdk-kernels do cause this NFS attribute caching bug (just my guess that the problem is something like that). Broken kernels I've tried with are kernel-2.4.16.11mdk-1-1mdk and kernel-enterprise-2.4.16.11mdk-1-1mdk. Unfortunately I can't use the plain kernel since my main partition uses XFS. If required, I can give exact specs on the NFS server as well (the NFS client is an up-to-date cooker as of the time I write this email). Thanks. -- [ Below is a random fortune, which is unrelated to the above message. ] Q: How many mathematicians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: One.

I have a similar problem. My problem is that xmms won't start
with "xmms ", it works with "xmms" and "soundwrapper xmms"
but if you type in a filename or click on a music file like a wav
or mp3 it just choaks and hangs.

[Cooker] Problem with hdlist.cz
Hiya. Today, i tried a urpmi.update from my cooker source (lip6). A 2,633,728 hdlist.cz was downloaded (it must be much bigger, i think), and a enormeous error list was shown. I tried to log the errors to a pipe but failed. I looked into urpmi.log, but it doesn't log urpmi.update. Is lip6 broken ?

I'll keep playing with it though... I am not using the mdk packages now ( did not have time to change to mdk rpms) but things are not much different. Xine works fine, really, despite it has lots of bugs it is a great software (and those ppl of xine seems to work hard to fix those :) Xine crashes in my box too, exactly the same as yours, "when I have a program using my soundcard", such as xmms,(even if it is not playing). This had not happened in versions prior to .9.7. Things may be about "oss, alsa" stuff. You may try forcing xine to use either as output sound plugin. A bit of configuration may help you solve your problem (check your home for config files, guess the name is .xinerc) and a bit of problem searching will give more info on what is the trouble. Just open a terminal and execute xine from there, it really gives a lot of info, in normal cases and errors. Onur Kucuk _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

[Cooker] Road Runner 10 ADSL PCI Card
There's no way I can make this very popular and cheap ADSL card work under Cooker or Mdk 8.1. It does work with some versions of Red Hat, though. This must again be an instance of open/closed source dilemma. They seem to use itex drivers. If you are interested in solving (if at all possible without undue waste of time) this problem, you might have a look at the site www.avaks.com or email the manufacturer and me for further info. As a special bonus, I would be prepared to pay 50-100 euros to MandrakeSoft or anyone who is first to walk me through a working solution. Tapio [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] Installation showstopper bug (large report ) !!!
First of all, a Happy New Year to all Mandrake Linux developers and contributors and a BIG than you for this wonderful product !!! I installed and I'm using cooker since last month instead of 8.1 because I like the new packages and all went fine and dandy except for the latest 3-4 VERSIONs that have a show stopper bug in install program that goes lile this: 1) All is ok up until after end of partitioning and when the package selection screen should show up, but instead I got this message on the graphical screen: An error occured deplist.ordered mismatch against hdlist file 2) On the 3-rd text console the messages are like that ( copyed by hand ): ignoring arts-3.0-0.beta1.6mdk.i586 allready present with a different version ignoring kdevelop...something allready present with a different version replacing old package with package drakx-autoinstall-doc-8.1.1-1mdk.noarch with better arch: noarch inconsistency in position for drakx-autoinstall-doc-8.1.1-1mdk.noarch in deplist and hdlist warning: deplist.ordered mismatch against hdlist files at /usr/bin/perl-install/pkgs.pm line 565, line 3425 3) after that if I click on graphic screen button it goes back one step to the partition chooser and then it never recovers from that error it shows aftert that no error but some seriously borked packages selection that of course it means that it can't continue anymore the instalation, IMHO some variables from the last time attempt remainded with wrong values. Question: how I could fix that ??? Proposition: Isn't better to just print a warning and if package is not important just skip it and continue the instalattion ??? Best regards, Mircea C.
Re: [Cooker] trying to upgrade from mandrake 8.1 to cooker destroyed lvm
I had the same problem with PATH and X11R6. It is msec related. Look for *.rpmnew in /etc/profile.d and replace old files with rpmnew files. Always check *.rpmnew files when updating RPMS. RPM try to be conservative and does not replace user configuration files in general. But this can be a problem when new functionnalities are introduced or old ones modified. URPMI shows warning messages about files not beeing replaced BUT RPMDRAKE DOES NOT REPORT THEM WHICH IS A PITY :) RPMDRAKE SHOULD DISPLAY A WINDOW SHOWING CONSOLE OUTPUT OF INSTALLATION.
