[Cooker] 1.636 and partitioning

[Mattias Dahlberg]

Hi,

I noticed that the colors were gone for the different filesystems. Is this
by design?

I noticed that my old mountpoints weren't present, is this also by design?
I'd rather be reminded of where the mountpoints were on the old system.

And an oldie: It's still hard for the user to figure out how to resize the
partitions in small steps, i.e. one MB at the time. (Don't hit me :))

Isn't something like this possible: <|   []|> if you get what I mean.

Regards,
Mattias

[Cooker] rpmdrake segfaults when searching for list of cooker mirrors

[SI Reasoning]

I have been having problems with my mirror lately so I
wiped the sources and started to try and create new
ones. Unfortunately, rpmdrake segfaults when searching
for list of cooker mirrors.

[Cooker] kdm X still funky on Dell Inspiron 8000

[SI Reasoning]

kdm on Dell Inspiron 8000 does not show X background.
It only shows the generic greyish X background. This
is when kdm is local and when using as thin client.

The local kdm is much worse, however in that there is
also no background for the login window either. This
makes for a very difficult to see login gui. 

The login icons are back though! yah!

[Cooker] 8.2 SNF feature. and other comments

[Randy Welch]

Selecting SNF-en from the package list seeming installs the 
right things but a few things are not quite right.

1.  /etc/init.d/bastile-firewall has a syntax error on line 
60, a quoting problem.

2.  /usr/sbin/httpd-naat is symlinked to /usr/sbin/httpd I 
suspect it should symlinked to /usr/sbin/httpd-perl.

3.  If SNF is selected I suspect you don't want httpd 
started as well ( I suppose I might get that from selecting 
server... )

4.  Once the httpd-naat is started you can get to the 
initial login screen, but you can't get logged in.  Even 
after setting the password for admin ( via passwd or 
/usr/share/naat/scripts/change-password.pl admin ).  This is 
kind of a show stopper for me in the one application I 
thought I'd try out.  ( Thankfully I bought another disk to 
try the SNF items out ).

5.  If SNF is going to be an option in 8.2 it would be nice 
to have it as a major selection instead of having to search 
for it ( and do the proper initial configuration like SNF7.2 
does on install ).

6.  A configuration item on a multiple machine config

When asked if you want to re-configure your TCP/IP 
configuration, instead of labeling the button cancel, have 
it say change.  It's more direct.

Yes, I understand it. Probably you do not understand me.

You keep telling that mouse does not work with devfs. Yet you give no
evidence that it is related in any way to _problems_ in devfs or devfsd.


If you have said "this specific file that should exist is not created"
or "this file has wrong permissions" or "wrong major/minor" - we could
try to track it down. Because it is actually the only types of problem
that can result from devfs.

Sorry.

[Cooker] segfault with gpsdrive

[Vincent Meyer, MD]

Hi,

If anybody's interested, the problem with gpsdrive has to do with the gpsd 
demon not running when gpsdrive is invoked.   The man page says that without 
a gps it should run in simulation mode and that no gpsd should not be running 
for that mode - so the program appears to be somewhat usable, but not in 
simulation / demo mode (segfaults if no gpsd is running)

Now, all I have to do is whip up a cable to connect my Garmin handheld

that's because sendmail needs sgid mail to send.

[Cooker] Still no Gnome bg

[Quel Qun]

Well, it's getting close to the release, and my Gnome background still
is not loaded automatically.

I use Gnome with gmc, no nautilus and no bg setup in Sawfish.

If I set a workspace bg in Sawfish, it loads but not as the root window,
so Eterm, xchat or xscreensaver cannot use it.

As soon as I manually set the bg in gnomecc, everything works fine.

Not very nice.

mm:
in /etc/lilo.conf:

append=" hdc=ide-scsi devfs=nomount"

it sounds like something isn't right. either devfs is getting turned
off, our your turning dma off on the wrong drive.

do the following to verify that you have the correct device: 
# cat /var/log/dmesg |grep hdc

your problem is strikingly similar to still haveing dma turned-on or are
using the devfs still. 

also, after checking all the above, try upgrading or downgrading
cdrecord.  then try using a cooker kernel if you're still using 2.4.8 or
something other.

true, i use xine as well for all my video playback. it has truely turned
into a kick butt video player for linux. just the User Interface themes
need a bit of working to make it more user friendly (kinda hard to
select files in it becuase of colors and non-standard buttons, etc).

mdk should have this in the main distro (instead of just /contribs) but
i think there maybe licensing issues?

I've tracked down the problem. At least it isn't related to XFree86.

No it doesn't work, not with the current ncurses / terminfo / mutt that
we have, I'm not sure why you can't reproduce it but I've been able to get
others to reproduce it as well.

The 1.3.x are development versions. As far as that goes, it would be probably
better to keep it up to date, that we don't revert back to an old version
because it looks better (cosmetic) with ncurses than in slang. (If it is true
I can try and do a diff).

 It's about choice...
Diversity can be a good thing, it often times pushes on project ahead of
the other, and vice versa.
 But let's have a real life example:
Mandrakesoft produces SNF (Single Network Firewall), I can only assume
that their intentions are to take this further. This being a firewall
oriented target, suppose the admin simply wants to strip the GUI stuff
away, and have it a bare bones system (as any firewall should really
be). If he or she was to choose rpmdrake, well that ruins the plans for
stripping the system. Now, I know what you're going to say, "Well what
about urpmi, the backend? It's a CLI, why not use it?"
And my response to that would be that urpmi has a barage (only in
opposite of apt) of dependencies...

[evil7@sQa evil7]$ rpm -qpR urpmi-3.2-2mdk.i586.rpm
eject
webfetch
perl-DateManip >= 5.40
perl-gettext
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
rpmtools >= 4.0-5mdk
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
bash
perl-base

[evil7@sQa evil7]$ rpm -qpR apt-0.3.19cnc51-1mdk.i586.rpm
rpm >= 3.0.5
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
ld-linux.so.2
libapt-pkg.so.3.1
libbz2.so.1
libc.so.6
libm.so.6
libpopt.so.0
librpm-4.0.3.so
librpmdb-4.0.3.so
librpmio-4.0.3.so
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
libz.so.1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)

You can plainly see the difference, (libapt-pkg.so.3.1 is provided by
apt). Minimalization of software is one of the key elements to security.
So, in that respect, which one would be the better choice?
 Furthermore, I've never set up a firewall or any other security related
system that had perl installed on it, it's just bad news (more options
for an attacker). 

 But take a desktop user, they dont' wanna fool around with the CLI at
all, in general, and in general at first. In that case, urpmi and
rpmdrake would probably make more sense for them.

 Sadly, both sets of software fail to do the impossible, making package
management on Linux easy (yet robust). This is where the development of
RPM comes in, and new packaging systems (hasn't been one yet that is
better though IMHO).

One final note, is mandrakesoft ever going to provide it's own repos of
updates? Bandwidth is expensive yes, but look at the redhat route. I
would certainly pay 5 dollars a month for a service like that (I already
pay for redcarpet). The security and reliability of co-mirrors is
ridiculous. Time to take the next step, don't ya think?
 
 
That's my 50 dollars err 2 cents : )

There is not work needed to be done to apt itself to have it work with
mandrake. The only thing needed is to keep the package lists on the
server updated. I agree that work needs to be done on rpmdrake/urpmi but
I also think we should keep apt available. It's all about choice! I
personally prefer apt but I know there are those that prefer urpmi. It
can't be that hard to allow both to function. There is no need to
repress one or the other. Let there be choice. :)

[Cooker] 8.2 Beta 1 Install Report

[Mike Eheler]

Didn't have time to do much variations, but I did a "typical" install 
for myself -- expert mode, individual package selection with much 
modification using the flat mode package selection.

Loved the idea of the updates during install. I tried it, and found it 
odd that some "updated" packages were actually found.. although they 
were older (i.e. kernel-2.4.8-34 was found).

I ended up just hitting cancel after a bit of confusion from deselecting some 
packages, and warnings that, to me, seemed to imply that the packages would actually 
be removed as opposed to just not being updated.

Other than that the installation went smooth as a whistle. This was on a clean machine 
with a single unpartitioned drive (which was partitioned during install, obviously) 
and no other operating systems.

So far, so good. Keep it up, Team Mandrake! Can't wait to see if/when KDE3 can be 
integrated for 8.2 final (assuming KDE3 is completed by then).

After I've had more time to play around with it, I may post a report on my 
post-install experience.

Mike

Still fails (Fatal error:  did not drop group privilege). Funny thing
is that it works under an strace.

I have to let the mode in 4755 to have it running.
If nobody else has problems, it has to be an issue with my box.
I suppose that if it works wirh MDK kernel, it is up to me...

Re: [Cooker] What about lirc ?

[Stefan]

Hi,

my question was not answered :-( , I try to use your thread :-)

The question was:
Were is the lirc package?

The only (my) answer was:
 I forgot the Kernel modules ...
LIRC builds modules for the running Kernel, I see my 'unsupported'
Plustek parport scanner also needs misc modules. I build the modules
after each kernel update.

The 'package request' was:
How about an kernel-modules-misc package with some additional modules?
(to make me [and other mdk friends] happy ;-)

My oppinion:
Providing these packages would improve MDKs (and the penguins)
multimedia acceptance - outside the distribution!

Another question:
Where is the best place for submitting wishes/feature requests?

Stefan.

(I hope you understand my sometimes broken english)

[Cooker] [patch] for msec

[Bryan Paxton]

APPLOGIES:
It has been a while since I've participated in any mdk devel, or for
that matter cooker, so I was not sure who maitained this software (I
know Yoann is busy with prelude), and it's package maintainer anymore,
thus why I'm sending this info here. 

 Below is a patch for msec, which adds a new function find_lib(), the
previous way of checking one source location is/was a "BAD" idea (had to
find out the hard way during BUS dev : p). Specifically, if a user
compiles libsafe on their own, vs. your binary, the lib might be anyway.
So, the function search the primary lib dirs, and then continues on with
normal function (found? Ask; Not found? Don't ask).
 This should actually be futher implemented to binaries on the machine.
Also, this patch adds level 3 on as a true for RootSshLogin (). Level
three was designed to be the safe medium, with the other two levels
below and above, extremes. Allowing root login is not within a safe
medium. 
 Last note, the ctools and ntools scheme doesn't work (at least not the
way it should). Thus, why it was included in the TODO (by me). Either
the implemention needs to be reworked regarding that whole perm scheme,
or it needs to be reverted back to how it originally was. I was going to
attend to this today, instead of noting about it, but I have to go for
now : )


Cheers

[Cooker] [patch] Revised msec patch

[Bryan Paxton]

 For information about this patch, see the message I sent in earlier to
the list. This revised patch simply makes use of the new find_lib()
function, and makes the default hard file size (PAM) 100MB (was 40MB).

More to come soon : )
And please, someone inform me of who is currently maintaining msec so
that I may send the patch directly to that person instead of the list.
(unless the list wants to see all the patch information).

NOTE: This is not an update patch, but revised. Patch against vanilla
msec-0.18 (mdk rel 1)

[Cooker] 8.2 B1-install and aftermath

[Charles A Edwards]

This an install on a second system.

800mhz Duron, Radeon 32MB DDR, USB Zip 

During installation/pkg selection unless the installation was started with a disk in 
the zip drive then pkg selection Can Not be loaded from or saved to a floppy.
No floppy option is created during bootloader.
If disk is in drive then floppy is accessable BUT devfs will then not 
properly set-up the zip drive.
This same issue was present with the installer in 8.1.

As on another system during bootloader stage nopentium append is included in the ram 
value and must be deleted.


After installation, as also has been noted in other post, the Radeon performance with 
included XFree sucks.
100fps or < .
Doing modprobe agpgart prior to starting X will increase performance to
150fps but this is still well below the value acheived with the previous
XFree of 500fps.

As noted by myself previously when adding a cooker source in rpmdrake when update 
mirror list is selected the app immediatly segfaults.
The source can be manually added as an ftp site.,

Would love to test for you - but both main mirrors are totally

I don't understand what you mean here: both original mutt from mutt.org
and from srpm compiling without slang works just perfect, and without
color if you haven't set them, with colour if there are set ;-))

Working is not the work I would use: it's usable, nothing more...

If I remember well, version 25 was just working perfectly for all user,
so why don't you come back to it?

As I am: I am mutt compiled with gcc-3.03-2mdk, don't know wheter it
really change something...

The "mutt problem" has at least learned me how to build empty rpm which
provides kernel and alsa (I prefer mine...).

Thanks you very much,

 I vote second for that, I'm very interested in trying out apt-get for
RPM. From what I've heard, it seems to work without a hitch (as much as

Hi all,

I am new on this ML and I have not yet install cooker but I pick some package 
of it with urpmi :)

I have a small question :
When will lirc be included in Mandrake ?

I don't talk about the IRC soft but about the tool to use Infrared Remote ( 
http://www.lirc.org ). It is not difficult to install but I think it will be 
usefull for the new user who don't know it.
Moreover it's work with lots of TV card remote and it's very usefull to 
transform a computer in TV / mp3 player ;)

That's all

I think tkmib is not working at all from this package(?). The best solution
would be to make it as a stand alone package and not have ucd-snmp provide
it. I'll look into this when I get some time..., or maybe someone else could

I see it this way:

you compile an application, it should work.

You compile mutt, but it doesn't work with  ncurses and if you don't have
color.

You compile mutt , but it works with slang regardless of whether you have
color or not.

I also like ncurses better, but something should work regardless of whether
you have color or not ...

Zsh emits color codes only in completion listings (i.e., when more than
one match is displayed simultaneously), not when there is only one match
inserted on the line and not when doing menu completion (where matches
are cycled on the command line, as opposed to menu selection where

Even in listings/selection, there's no color change sequence emitted
between the prefix and any suffixes; color codes are printed only before

Could setting mtrr write-combining + uncachable solve the AMD/AGP
problem ? (keeping 4Mb memory pages). After all, if I have well
understood the problem, it is a memory cache problem...

As I don't have any AMD processor, I can't test it... ut it may be worth
investigating...

Not directly, but I could name the lilo bootscreen of this certain
german distributor [ducking], which I don't want to mention, because
your distro is so much better ;-)

And i also wholeheartedly back the idea of choosable Bootscreens in

I think so.
Maybe it would be possible to:
rpm -e automake



then reinstalling automake-1.4 should be fine. I hope...

check out the latest version. It is however implemented in some different
way. 

One can add his own commands in the /usr/security/msec/level.local file.

There are no step by step questions for the moment ...

[Cooker] IceWM complaints

[David Walser]

Main complaint:
For quite a while now, the Mandrake spec file for IceWM rm -rf's all of the 
standard IceWM themes.  Could you *please* NOT do this anymore.  The 
offending line in the current spec file is line 142.

Minor things I can live with:
The menu thing doesn't do icons right.
Why doesn't your configuration use rxvt anymore?

I'm aware of the problem - the -i --color combo doesn't work at all ATM. 

If you have some spare time, feel free to fix it - if you don't, it'll

The problem is that with devfs no IDE device node for ide-scsi's devices

Which variable exactly? /proc/ide is outside of /proc/sys and there
