[Cooker] sndconfig error
I installed the latest cooker and ran sndconfig to set up my soundcard and this is what I got: modprobe error The following error occurred running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.4.16-11mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.16-11mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.16-11mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.16-11mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: insmod sound-slot-0 failed Regards, Jason
[Cooker] Guarddog Firewall Case Study (and possible bug?)
I wrote this email to the guarddog developer but thought it could be helpful to some on the list... My email follows: Dear Simon, Thank you for all your hard work on Guarddog. It is an easy to configure firewall utility. I ran across a unique situation and possible Guarddog bug today that I thought you'd like to know about. I also have a couple of feature requests if you're so inclined... =) I ran guarddog and got my firewall all configured. I was then connected to the Internet and had my KDE panel crash. By the way, I am running Mandrake Linux Cooker with Kernel 2.4.16-11. I had an app crash (gFTP) and was attemting to kill it. Just when I thought XKill was not coming up and clicked on it again in the panel, it came up at that exact moment and killed my panel. So, I of course had to restart X. When I came back in and connected to the net, I couldn't open web pages or download mail (or FTP or), in short, I couldn't access the net, though I was connected properly. I tried EVERYTHING I could think of, short of reinstalling Linux (which would have worked but I would never have known what caused my problem in the first place, besides, reinstalls I try to leave to the Windoze crowd..). I uninstalled ppp and reinstalled it. I made sure that no more than 1 instance of KPPP was running so there were no port conflicts etc. Then I hit on the idea that maybe my firewall was screwing things up (since my browser did not seem to even attempt to connect to the server). So, I uninstalled guarddog and rebooted, to no avail. Then I recalled that guarddog is really just a frontend to ipchains/tables. So, I thought maybe the guarddog config file got screwed up somehow. I reinstalled guarddog, reconfigured it and voila, it worked again and I had full net access. I thought this might be helpful to anyone wondering why their network conncetion seemed to be dead, if they run guarddog. So, I wrote to tell you of this situation and to suggest a few mods. Maybe guarddog can be changed so that if its configuration (ie. a prohibited protocol) somehow prevents net access, a dialog box could pop up letting the user know why access was denied. This would have been helpful in my situation as then I would have known exactly why I was denied access. Guarddog could also be changed to be application, not just protocol specific. This way, if an application was denied access to a network, then the user could override it manually for that application only. This could be set up so that the app would have access on an ongoing basis or just for the instance the permission was granted for. This type of a setup would be great for newer users who may know whether or not they want a specific application to have network access but may or may not know the protocol it uses. Also, many users might not understand that a good firewall such as guarddog, not only prevents inbound traffic on certain protocols but also outbound/user traffic as well. I know watchdog is more along the lines of a realtime firewall but some of these small changes to guarddog would be great, if it's possible. Maybe a small system tray utility could run in the background after the intitial guarddog configuration showing current firewall status, port probes etc. This would go a long way to assisting users in knowing how their firewall was functioning and just what exactly it was protecting them from. I (like many Linux users) came from a Windows background and used to run ZoneAlarm, which seemed to be a good (and easily configurable/intuitive) firewall and from which a lot of these concepts I've discussed come from. One feature guarddog has that I really like over ZoneAlarm is the ability to prohibit access on a protocol, not just applicational basis. Just some thoughtsand thanks again for your efforts, they are appreciated. Would love to hear your thoughts on the idea. Kindest Regards, Jason Greenwood

I wouldn't mind the GDM login being changed (after all, KDM uses a Mandrake logo, no?), but the Mandrake GNOME splash screen back a while ago was just horrid!

I'd recommend leaving the splash screen, but I don't see any problem with the GDM image...as long as it's a nice one like the one KDM uses ;) my $0.02 -- Steve Fox http://k-lug.org

I didn't think about the symlink because I saw a plain file in the package but this is what they do in the postinstall phase of the aurora package : # rpm -q --scripts Aurora postinstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): rm -f /etc/aurora/Monitor preuninstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): touch /etc/aurora/Monitor [root@gz:/tmp] Then after enabling aurora we get : # ll /etc/aurora/Monitor lrwxr-xr-x1 root root 38 jan 4 02:02 /etc/aurora/Monitor -> /lib/aurora/Monitors/Traditional-WsLib* Nevertheless, the cmd "/etc/aurora/Monitor startable" in /etc/rc must under some circomstances yield a false so aurora=1 is not set or is it just "export aurora" that's missing from the file? Anyway, knowing all this we can test and solve further. One other thing on aurora, I chose the Traditional style but never see the mouse pointer on startup. I've seen it only once but do not know under which conditions. It can't be needing gpm that early in the bootprocess can it? See ya, Guy. > > > >

No xfs is very impressive thing. You can have a dedicated font server on
one computer and then allow many onther to use it. It is prety cool and
useful. It is much better then uploading all your custom fonts to all your
computers.
Just put FontPath "tcp/192.168.100.1:7100" to your clients computer and
you dont have to worry about missing fonts.

Re: [Cooker] XFS (font server)
Why do we still use xfs on Mandrake? I thought it was obsolete after XFree 4.1. I removed it from my 8.1 box and have the font paths in XFree86.Config-4. It works great. I did that once; didn't like the way any of my apps looked, especially the GNOME ones. And I made my xftconfig as close to the fs/config file as I could. It's not a HUGE deal, so I live with it.

This is correct if you use it only for the local machine, but as we run
several X-terminals driven by one Mandrake Linux box, we need an X-server.
So it is still needet, even if it is obsolete for a simple desktop install.

[Cooker] KDE 3.0BETA1 mdk 8.1 RPMS
Hi Not quite sure if this is the right address, but here it goes. I was reading on this list, that KDE3b1 RPMS are packaged so KDE3 can run parallel to the stable KDE2.2.2. Well I quess this is not quite the case with the 8.1 RPMS, first there are a few conflicring files in the qt3 packages, and then a few hundred more in all the kde* packages. I also tried using the RPMS from cooker and it appears that there are also conflicts. I wouldn't want to make kde2 unusable, at least not the libs, because a few programs depend on them.

Using "xf86config", I got these:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "unix/:-1"
It seems "xf86config" does a better job than the GUI:s...

Resistance is futile, you will be packaged --- Name: mplayer Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 0.60 Vendor: Penguin Liberation Front Release : 1mdk Build Date: Thu Jan 3 12:44:11 2002 Install date: (not installed) Build Host: silbermann.snv.jussieu.fr Group : Video Source RPM: (none) Size: 1938093 License: GPL Packager: Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL : http://www.mplayerhq.hu Summary : The media player for linux Description : MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX. It plays most MPEG, AVI and ASF files, supported by many native and win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VCD, DVD and even DivX movies too. The another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of SDL) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox/3dfx/SiS) too! Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (7 supported types!!!) with hungarian, english, cyrillic, czech, korean fonts, and OSD? Note: this package is now only distributed as a source package. You have to rebuild it first on your box. --- Thu Jan 03 2002 Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.60-1mdk - 0.60 final -- http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/linux/plf

[Cooker] Cant su under X
Its weird: I can login on concole as root, su on console, start X as root, but when I try to su in xterm or gnome-term I get 'File size limit exceeded' and nothing happens. Scripts like rpmdrake cant be run as non-root because they fail to su as well. It may be caused by the fact I use XFS as filesystem for Linux. I have ReiserFS at home and have different problems. I have tried to upgrade kernel to 2.4.16-enterprise but it failed. I had to set up a lilo entry manually but havent rebooted since then. BTW: in 8.1 I had to install the acl package amnually although all my Linux filesystems are XFS. -- Michal Suchanek [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FYI: I've updated the page. It now also contains a new script that uses strace to detect BuildRequires.

Dear Cookermen, I'd like to wish all of you a happy new year for 2002. We hope this year will be great for Linux and for Mandrake.
