Re: [Cooker] netatalk-1.5.0-2mdk : unable to register the service
Hi, it just so happens that I had the same problem yesterday evening while playing around with the same package to get an imac to connect to my cooker box. I first tried just changing the line "ATALK_CONF_DIR=/usr/etc/netatalk" in /etc/init.d/atalk to "ATALK_CONF_DIR=/etc/atalk" but as is obvious from the logs this path seems to be compiled in: Jan 14 23:36:19 gandalf atalkd[29368]: /usr/etc/netatalk/atalkd.tmp: No such file or directory So I did the "ln -s /etc/atalk /usr/etc/netatalk" like you, but I also had to add this line to atalkd.conf: eth0 -seed After that nbprgstr successfully registers my server. In the conf file they say: # -seed only works if you have multi-interfaces. Any missing arguments are # automatically configured from the network. Note: lines can't actually be # split, tho it's a good idea. # # -router is like -seed but it allows single-interface routing. -dontroute # disables routing for the specified interface. However only -seed works for me (I do have two NICs, only one used for atalk). So there: Jan 16 08:08:38 gandalf atalk: Registering gandalf:Workstation: succeeded Jan 16 08:08:44 gandalf atalk: Registering gandalf:netatalk: succeeded I now have another problem tough (and I'm sorry if this is getting OT for cooker but I'd love to have a fully functional netatalk package for Mandrake). netatalk uses some weird encoding for accentuated characters in filenames by default and one easy way to correct this is to use ~ options:noadouble,mswindows ^ this option in the /etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.default file, which should do: # mswindows -> enforce filename restrictions imposed by MS #Windows. this will also invoke a default #codepage (iso8859-1) if one isn't already #specified. However I now find this in my logs: Jan 15 21:03:05 gandalf afpd[10097]: /usr/etc/netatalk/nls/maccode.iso8859-1: failed to open codepage There is no nls dir in /etc/atalk and I have no idea where to get this file. If anyone has some pointers or hints I'd be very grateful.

After update neither new version of this file nor 11KDE.rpmnew were installed, but rpm -V kdebase3 indicated this file differs - I run with customized rc.sysinit for months and *none* of initscripts updates ever overwrote this file.

Menu methods for kde3 still are using .kde/... as user prefix so running update-menus as user trashes both KDE2 and KDE3 menu. And there is still a problem running KDE2 apps with KDEHOME set to .kde3 :( Would it be possible to patch KDE3 to - either use .kde3 by default] - or use KDE3HOME instead of KDEHOME? Of course it KDE3 is released in next couple of months it may be more troubles than it is worth. -andrej

My understanding is that the 7xxx series Radeon cards are souped-up versions of the ""old"" Radeon classic. THe 8500, on the other hand, has a new core, and needs new drivers as a result. So, until support for it statrts to creep into XF86, I'll stick with my Radeon-classic. -- *Chuck*

In fact the first thing I did was to install Amaya, which is off w3c, and it failed to render the page. I don't know if you read a research within EU, about the penetration of 'open software' within EU. Their finding about Sweden was that they found it astonishing that Sweden, with so many computers &c, was the country with the least use of Linux. Sweden seams to be playing catch up with the 'Big Brother' US. One of my sons has graduated from that very University, and he was not tought much about Unix until he sat in front of a Solaris server. He was trained for a Microsoft world. I just thought that guide lines for Lynx, Opera, Konqueror and Mozilla was known more widely. thanks guran -- Mandrake Linux 8.2 Cooker kernel-2.4.17.5mdk-1-1mdk version:2002-01-15-15:20

[Cooker] lilo.conf changes
I just wanted to propose/throw out an idea about some changes to how lilo.conf is written. If there is a SCSI/IDE mixed machine that is booting off a scsi device/disk can we add in these lines to lilo.conf: boot=/dev/sda (the scsi disk that is booting cound be /dev/sdb,sdc,...) disk=/dev/sda (the scsi disk that is booting cound be /dev/sdb,sdc,...) bios=0x80 The problem with lilo is it assumes that an ide disk (if on the system) is the first disk, and therefore is the boot device. If you run lilo then your MBR is jacked up and when you reboot your screwed. It would be nice that out of the box I can run lilo without hosing my system... :) I don't understand how lilo can be run in the first place without making a bad MBR... but somehow the installation gets away with not needed the disk= and bios= options. But once the system is installed I have to make these changes to lilo.conf to be able to run lilo at all. :( from http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO-4.html quote: "By default, Lilo assumes that IDE drives are mapped first by the BIOS, but this can be overridden by using instructions like these in /etc/lilo.conf: disk = /dev/sda bios = 0x80" -- Bryan Whitehead SysAdmin - JPL - Interferometry Systems and Technology Phone: 818 354 2903 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you wish to send a cookie, you have better code for the possibility that some have had it off - and give them the possibility to change, if they want to get in.

Okay, so the ohci1394 is done in ldetect-lst-0.1.2-34mdk. So it is just the wrong network card module now, and the unknown device that need to be fixed. Ian --- Ian White email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Cooker] urpmi.update problem
okay, a) install fresh cooker from local copy kept on local hard drive, actually the last time i did this was kernel2.4.16-11 b) remove all sources created by the install i.e. 'installation cd (disk1)' etc, c) create a new ( and now the only) source: #urpmi.addmedia localcooker file://mandrake/cooker/ i don't specify the hdlist.cz file because i want the source to include all rpms under .../Mandrake/ urpmi output lists all the rpms in both ../RPMS and .../RPMS2 but at the end gives 'found xyz headers yady yada, deleted xyx header yada yada', xyz being the same number in both cases d)run, for example: #urpmi glibc or any package name (installed or otherwise) and get the output 'no package by that name' i'm sorry if i was long winded the last time, i'm a bit concerned that i'm taking up your time with this, i now have a situation (explained last post) where urpmi does the job for me, i havent reinstalled cooker recently and i'm loathe to do so just to check f this problem has gone away, to be honest i really only lurk on this list to see if there's stuff i can use as i like the conceit of running a semi-bleeding edge machine, even though as a newbie, it's real computing by the seat of one's pants stuff! if you'd rather drop this and get on with other stuff that's absolutely fine by me, otherwise any thing i can do (on a scale of 1-10 of can-do-ness i'm about 2) just ask bascule On Tuesday 15 January 2002 1:16 pm, you wrote: >If you can send me a scenario how to make urpmi fail, let me known please. > > Thanks, François.

Hi Guran! > > What is the standard? How can I show to him that certain rules has to be > followed to give all visitors the capacity to view the page? There is no real standard. Of course there are HTML4.x,HTML3.x,XHTML etc. standards available for the HTML language but most of the "Designers" of homepages do not care much for that. I do not accept cookies as well but there are pages which are cookie-overloading like all the pages from yahoo (especially the former egroups). Sometimes cookies are used for sending informations or storing user settings (the useful part), other times they are used to track down how you used the webpage and how often. There are organisations out there which try to do something against it and others trying to create superior technics to cookies (php is a very good way to never have the need to use cookies again ;). But I personally doubt that we will have a cookie free Internet in the far future...

Well the "standard" is defined by the W3C[1] but there are really few browsers which really follow the standards. For example Netscape is one of the worst regarding standards-compliance. Now, cookies are something else, while I can't really say anything clever on it, I often heard people saying that it's necessary in some cases to only store temporary login/configuration information, where doing another way would be far more complicated/impossible under the same conditions.

Re: [Cooker] mozilla-0.9.7-2mdk - lot of ashes
This is mozilla 0.9.7 plain and simple. I don't know what they did, but they did a good job of making it more unstable. I've reverted to mozilla 0.9.6 on my own system and things are much better, this is not isolated to the mandrake-packaged cooker distribution. I get this with tarball & Red_Hat_7x_RPMS installs, as 0.9.7 was just very unstable. Hopefully they'll get their act together for 0.9.8, because 1.0 is just around the corner, and mozilla seems to be regressing in stability.

[Cooker] Advice - please
Hi I have become a student at a local TechnicalHighSchool or university and to not take a place for a real student I opted for a 'distance-course' in e-learning. I was in cooker when I got the snail mail about how to access the class and material, and went to the given URL. To my astonishment I could not get the complete page. One of the problems was that I did not allow for cookies but some of the stuff did not come through I changed that. I wrote an e-mail to the guy responsible for the page and explained my perception of cookies and stuff. His answer made me gasp for air as he said that it was just an ordinary homepage. I guess that he thinks that Microsoft, some pages just show up right in XP, is the standard. When I installed amaya and went to the page I got absolutely nothing but a message that this page could not be 'rendered'. What is the standard? How can I show to him that certain rules has to be followed to give all visitors the capacity to view the page? regards guran -- Mandrake Linux 8.2 Cooker kernel-2.4.17.5mdk-1-1mdk version:2002-01-15-15:20

AFAIK, Passport EULA make documents ORIGINATING FROM a service using Passport have the double licence (the original one and the Microsoft one). there was a lot of talks about it on slashdot...

May be totally off mark, but - you have to rsync until you get no updates. New files may have come while you rsync'ing. Else you easily get mismatch between package list and actual packages - cooker install assumes existence of contrib.(which it treats as second CD). I do not remember if I can tell "I have no contrib." -andrej
[Cooker] new to cooker - can't install
Hi After reading about the christmas cooker snapshot and how enthusiastic people were about it, i tried it - to no avail. The second stage would not load into memory. So I mirrored the cooker archive to my harddrive: rsync -avL --delete ftp.uninett.no::Mandrake-devel/cooker/cooker/ /home/lusr/burn/cooker after booting with the hd.img boot floppy everything runs smoothly - until the packages install. Here I am told about 80 times that a package (obviously a different one each time) could not be installed - 'do you want to proceed anyway?'. The two major groups of packages that will not install are those involving perl and those involving XFree. The first one i'll display as an example: readline displays this message about 5 times for the package,after moving on to the next one: rpmRunTransaction start getFile readline-4.2a-1mdk.i586.rpm: Installation CD rpmRunTransactions done, now trying to close still opened fd getFile XXX: rpm database closed When it gets to the stage of showing which services will be installed, it says that 0 sevices will be installed. Needless to say, the new system will not boot. I have been trying this daily from the 9. to the 15. What i find odd is that everyone else seems to be having no such troubles. What am i doing wrong?

Well yes it seems that a current limitation of the driver is that it doesn't really support "hotplugging". But that doesn't give me the solution as for which interface to use to read ID's of connected devices. According to chmouel, it's not yet present in the current implementation. It seems that the kernel would print in kernel msg ID's of connected devices when ohci1394 comes up. Also gscanbus, through libraw1394, can see the ID's. But nothing under /proc... -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

[Cooker] monitoring free disk space
with initscripts >= 6.40.2-10mdk there is a new initscript called "partmon" which will check some known mountpoints, and if they exist, it will warn you (with a nice red FAILED) if there is less than a fixed amount of diskspace. I've come up with this because Windoze already do this (graphically..) and I find that it's a good idea. currently the limits (in KB) are (they are set in /usr/bin/partmon): my %partlimits = ( '/' => 20_000, '/tmp' => 20_000, '/usr' => 50_000, '/var' => 50_000, '/boot' => 5_000 ); you have any suggestions? if you all agree that any number is too high or too low etc, it can be changed. please bear in mind that the numbers should be sensible mean values, of course you can disable this (chkconfig --del partmon) if you often live with tightly configured /, etc, or even change the numbers. there is no support for configuration files to change these values because I think the use for a change is too limited, and since it's perl you may change the values from the sourcecode if you really want to do so. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
