Recompile kernel with CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG (sorry, do not have Linux up now, check config for exact spelling). Enable debugging. Collect full dmesg (it probably gives you a lot). Start devfsd with devfsd -t 3 /dev (from memory - check help). It will give you a lot of info about devfs events and there processing. See if it makes any sense to you. If not send it to me. We see. -andrej

No you got it all wrong /usr/sbin/sendmail is a standart way to inject
mail, all MTA have this file (normail file or a symbolic link). Any
program will try to use theese files. And if you will have theese files
there will be no need to specify the path for each user and each MUA your
users will have installed.
P.S. If you dont wont to upgrade (what a word) a MTA then you should try
qmail.

Well, in the cases of sendmail and postfix (at least) they each have
their own binaries sitting in those location(s). So what happens when
I upgrade my MTA? I lose my wrapper. This is not a viable solution.
And in the second place, it is not necessarily appropriate that
*everything* that would use /usr/{lib,sbin}/sendmail use the wrapper.
Being able to point the MUA to the "mail injection" binary is the
right way to deal with this issue.

Re: [Cooker] Wp8/libc5 and bus error.
I too would like to see this resolved once and for all. I had no problems with WordPerfect 8 until installing cooker, and am getting the same Bus error message that you are getting. I've posted this problem in the Mandrake Open Forum, in the Mandrake usenet group and in the Corel WordPerfect usenet group, but have gotten nowhere in getting closer to resolving this problem. I can't even successfully run "ldd /opt/wordperfect/wpbin/xwp"! I get the following error when I do: /usr/bin/ldd: line 1: 11105 Bus error LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 LD_WARN= LD_BIND_NOW= LD_LIBRARY_VERSION=$verify_out LD_VERBOSE= "$file" Perhaps that error might give someone who knows much more than I, a clue as to a resolution!

Re: [Cooker] Basic help updating Cooker.
Brandon, I've seen that many on the list do it in different ways. It also depends on how much has been updated. I tend to update daily or at least every other day on my develoment box so my updates tend to be small. I make 2 directories on my hard drive. One for RPMS and the other for RPMS2 (Contrib). I use gFTP as my ftp client as it has a nice directory compare feature. So, each day or even a couple of times a day I go to the cooker mirrors and compare my RPMS directories with those on the mirrors. I delete the old RPMS in my local directory and download the new ones. Then from the command line (SU) I go into the respective RPMS directories and run: rpm --freshen *.rpm This command will update all installed RPMS from that directory. So I run it twice, once for the RPMS directory and once for the RPMS2 (Contrib) directory. If there are any dependency problems then they are listed and must be resolved before freshen will run. Sometimes you may have to install previously uninstalled packages to satisfy these dependencies. I know that you can do an rsync etc. to do updates but I find this method to be simple and straightforward. If the updates have been significant then you may have to use Mandrake Install. I had to use that today as the changes to cooker recently have been rather significant and I couldn't be bothered trying to solve all the dependencies individually. If anyone can reccommend better/more efficient methods (and I'm sure there are some) then I'm all ears but this is one way to do it and it works for me.

My choices for that (other than WP8) were glabels (an excellent little tool by the way) and Open Office. I chose Open Office because it has better font and formating capabilities. I was able to work around some bugs and correct some others and come up with some fairly presentable business cards. As good as those produced by WP8 any day. I hadn't used OO/SO for business cards successfully before and was pleasantly surprised at the progress they have made, so I guess I will be reformating all my cards via OO. I just hope that OO will get up to speed with publishing capabilities (does anyone know of any publishing apps that can produce two numbered facing pages on a landscaped letter size sheet like WP8?). I would also like to see them support postal bar codes. I currently own a copy of WP2K, but have no intention of installing it due to the quirkiness of Corel's crappy installer.

You should really check apt in contrib.
If you wont to install package A but it conflicts with B and C requires B
you have to remove B & C and only then you will be able to install A
without any cpmplay frpm package manager.
So if you wont to remove initscripts basesystem pakage will complain and
it up to you, if you know what are you doing you can force it or leave it.

Than XFree86 must be wrong, or dutch us keyboards are different for US us keyboards:)
I have a new "dutch" keyboard, which is just a US keyboard (setxkbmap nl, gives me all
kind
of wrong symbols when pressing certain keys, for instance: @ instead of ~).
Next to the 5 is located an Euro (€) symbol. So I think it is obvious that something
like alt-5 is supposed to
make an euro-char?
..this actually comes down to adding this line to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/us
(or make an nl_us entry):
key {[ e,E ],
[ EuroSign ] };
and substituting the AE05 line with:
key {[ 5,percent ],
[ Eurosign, cent ] };
This works beautifull for me and is better than the deprecated (?) xmodmap stuff.
While we're at it, maybe other much used dutch characters (é, è, ë) can be added as
well somewere (question:
where so I can make a complete file?) in this new layout. It should be
submitted to the X people I guess,
since us keyboards are muuuccch more used in holland than the original dutch keyboards.
Also an entry for dutch keyboards should be made in the kde-control center.
Oh..another question: any idea where I find (or define?) this 'Compose' key?

I think ALSA will not fix the problem(maybe alsa 0.9 will, i read somewhere they coded
a workaround inthere)
RtcW has the same problem. There is a bug in glibc, this is a fix:
copy this into a file called memset.c:
void *memset(void *s, int c, int n)
{
char *p = s;
while (n--)
*p++ = c;
return s;
}
compile it:
gcc -shared -o memset.so memset.c
(you will get a warning)
copy memset.so into your quake or wolfenstein dir.
open the wolfspdemo or quake3 script in the wolfenstein or quake install directory(or
the script used to start the real game, dunno what it is called), and change it, if it
says:
./wolfsp.x86 $*
it should become:
LD_PRELOAD=./memset.so ./wolfsp.x86 $*

Now, of course, only those chars that are present in the charset you are using will be produced, as for the others, even if the keyboard sends something, X11 cannot convert it to your charset encoding. The KDE problem comes from the fact that, while KDE ignores any locale setting for almost everything, it uses the value of LANG variable for the keyboard. If you have LANG=nl look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locales.alias and you will see something like: nl: nl_NL.ISO-8859-1 change it to: nl: nl_NL.ISO-8859-15 or change the value of LANG variable, and it will work. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga Disinstallatemi tutto, ma non il mio Linux! -- Reinterpretazione dello spot Breil, by Zuse

I own WP8 in both the Win and Linux versions, I like it as a wp and, in the past have used it often. But however you cut it WP8 is a commercial application. As such any resonsability for it maintance, portabilty, and futher development rest squarly on the shoulders of its developers. Now, Corel, the outstanding company which brought us the ground breaking and ever popular Corel Linux (tounge planted firmly in cheek) no longer supports WP8 in any shape, version or form and in viewing there website one might wonder if it ever existed. Am I bothered by this? Damn right! Do I feel that it should now be Mandrakes job to ensure that WP8 will run on each new version of Mandrake Linux? Oh, it might be nice, but no I do not expect them to do so. Just as once good hardware becomes old and obsolete and falls by the wayside so also does software. WP8 is now becoming another such causualty. There are now many other good/exellent wps available for linux and most are being constantly developed and maintained. If only WP will do then the choice is to spend the $s for WP Office. In a "perfect" world everything would always work and in dreams I at times stumble upon one, but then I am once again trying to get that gd nvidia driver mod to load.

We can choose proprietary software and be screwed by their immorality, or we can choose free software and be screwed by its morality. Or we can be stuck in the middle and get it from both at the same time. Actually I'm just trying to stir the pot here. You guys are number one, and I mean that sincerely.

The standard place for the euro is on a us keyboard is something with a 5 (because on the 5 key there is a euro symbole). I have misread the debian euro howto. Thought it was CTRL-ALT-5 but it seems to be AltGr+5. I don't know what a logical place would be on a nl-keyboard so i don't know if what you are doing is wish.

Re: [Cooker] Wp8/libc5 and bus error.
I think the problem/issue in this case is the fact that hardly anything can open wordperfect documents anymore, except wordperfect. For those of us that have documents in those formats, we stand to lose a lot of our work so that is a bit frustrating. If it is still available, I do know that WordPerfect 2000 (wine version) still works with cooker, but it forces a payment for a relatively unsupported, bloated and neglected product. --- Guillaume Cottenceau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > George Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you > and the app > > vendor are at having a standoff as to who is going > to solve the > > problem and NEITHER of you care that the user is > getting screwed > > in the equation.

[Cooker] supermount causes progblem for xmms
It appears whenever xmms is attempting to access the audiotracks from /mnt/cdrom it refuses to enter the directory. Konqueror has a lock on the directory also. the KDE CD Player can play cd's fine and i can access the cd from the services line in konqueror file manager. In mandrake 8.1 this wasn't a issue due to supermount was not installed is my guess. Any ideas how to fix this problem? MattB

[Cooker] MDK8.1, apache, mod_frontpage (can't use cooker as it is a production server)
I am having a problem with publishing to the server with FrontPage 2000. An error occurred accessing your FrontPage web files. Authors - if authoring againest a web server, please contact the webmaster for this server's site. WebMasters - please see the server's system log for more details. I have looked through the different apache logs and I cannot find where there is an error being reported. The last lines of error_log are [notice] Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.22 (Mandrake Linux/1.1mdk) Frontpage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6b PHP/4.0.6 mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a configured -- resuming normal operations [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) The last line of fpexec_log are UID: (apache/apache) GID: (apache/apache) cmd: /_vti_bin/shtml.exe The last lines of access_log are "GET /_vti_inf.html HTTP/1.1" 200 1716 "-" "Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; MS FrontPage 4.0)" "POST /_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc HTTP/1.1" 200 95 "-" "MSFrontPage/4.0" Does anyone know what is the cause of the new error and is related to me setting the apache user and group ids to 101? Here is what I have done so far. I have done a clean install of Mandrake 8.1 applied all the security updates. I have the following apache rpms listed below installed and have extracted fp40.linux.tar.gz in /usr/local. After restarting apache httpd these are the last lines in /var/log/httpd/error_log [notice] Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.22 (Mandrake Linux/1.1mdk) Frontpage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6b PHP/4.0.6 mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a configured -- resuming normal operations [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) At this point I try to do an http publish to the server with Frontpage 2000 and I get a message saying that the frontpage extensions are not installed and therefore does not support publishing via HTTP. So I decided to run the fpsrvadm.exe in /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0/bin. Selected 1 for install Selected 1 for apache_fp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for the apache config file (note had to merge commonhttpd.conf into httpd.conf as it fpsrvadm.exe doesn't look in other files.) blank for muli-hosting apache for UNIX username apache for UNIX group fpadm for the user to add to frontpage group "administrators" put the password in for fpadm I then restarted the apache web server. I then try again to do an http publish to the server with Frontpage 2000 and I still get a message saying that the frontpage extensions are not installed and therefore does not support publishing via HTTP. Also in error_log for each time I try to connect to the server to public there is the following entry [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] web root owned by privileged user: /var/www/html/_vti_bin/shtml.exe I changed the apache user and group to UID and GID 101. I then restarted httpd and tried publishing again and then I got this error. [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] web root writable by group or others: /var/www/html/_vti_bin/shtml.exe So I looked and found html in /var/www had a mod of 775 I changed it to 755 and now I am getting the current error. In the mod_frontpage rpm there seems to be an error in the setting of the UID/GID to start with and the default rights on the html directory are incorrect for mod_frontpage.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you and the app vendor are at having a standoff as to who is going to solve the problem and NEITHER of you care that the user is getting screwed in the equation.
