RE: [Cooker] Early Comments on MDK 8.2 Beta
I can also add that key KDE developers do no accept Bug Report against KDE 2.2 branch - as it's supposed to be closed. Key developers may do what they want. Distributions have there user base that they must maintain. I second back idea of installing KDE3 and KDE2 in parallel in upcoming LM 7.2 Even if KDE3 is not ready, you can install KDE3 Beta2 in parallel to KDE2 Stable, and allow users to test it and send bug reports to the KDE team. This needs cleanup of KDE3. Current hack of setting KDEHOME screws up KDE2 applications started out of KDE3. And menu methods for KDE3 are still using .kde/ and not .kde3/ as user prefix. KDE3 has to be recompiled with KDEHOME defaulting to ~/.kde3, menu methods fixed then you can really use them in parallel (and even run KDE2 apps out of KDE3 and vice versa). -andrej

So sprach »Yura Gusev« am 2002-01-29 um 21:24:31 -0500 : No i dont see any logic in this statement. What I'm meaning to say: There might be some uses of any software, but I'd say for the majority of the target audience (home users), any software is not needed. So it should be removed. (or even better replace any software with software) Do you agree Alexander? Well, to some extent, yes, I agree. In a perfect world, only software which is actually needed should be installed. If I don't need a given software, why should it be installed? Another example of bloat: I use grub as my bootloader. This means I don't use lilo. But when I try to rpm -e lilo, I get an error message saying that lilo is required by basesystem. IIRC, there's some stuff in the lilo package which is also needed by grub. But anyhow, because I don't do --nodeps removes, I'm forced to have 2 bootloaders of which I only use 1. And maybe some users don't even need lilo when they are using this dos linux starter.

Re: [Cooker] 8.2 SNF feature. and other comments + new bug.
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 ). there is a problem with the latest mod_auth_external-2.1.14-1mdk.i586.rpm package. One should use the mod_auth_external-2.1.12-1mdk.i586.rpm one from the 8.1 contrib directory. This works. I tried mod_auth_external-2.1.14-3 from the latest cooker, but that didn't seem to work. I got the php* and mod_auth_external from 8.1 and all is happy. Thanks. New bug though. The time restriction in SquidGuard are acting strangely? I have a time restriction setup from 19:00-23:59 pst. When I try to access through the proxy within that time period I get rejected because of time restriction.

Anyone else had these experiences?? Jason, Many people have been using a PS2 wheel mouse for years, I'd say to make a rhyme from tail to ears How did you come to these conclusions? Did you use mousedrake, did you try to read at least some sort of documentation? Maybe man mouse is not the best part to start with, though ;-) mousedrake gives you a 'generic ps2 wheel mouse' choice. Did you try this? You should... I think. I dislike double-click. One of the rare things I prefer in Windows is that a single click can be set to start an app. I wish Gnome could let me do that (maybe it can). Just for info, the middle button has been used for ages to paste in unix like OSes. Just highlight something with the mouse and paste it anywhere else with the middle button.

[Cooker] Mouse usually does not work on console after exiting X
PS/2 Microsoft Intellimouse with wheel configured as such - imps/2 in both gpm and X. Usually (or probably always, did not check every time) mouse does not work on console after startx/exiting session. Mouse works just fine in X all the time. From what I see in console - cursor jumps to upper part of screen and remains there whatever I do - it looks like gpm suddenly thinks mouse is non-wheel mouse.

Re: [Cooker] evolution hanging in latest cooker
Hi, I encounter the same trouble a few days ago. It seemed that it came from the evolution-executive-summary component. The only solution we found was to edit the '/usr/bin/killev' script, extract the executive-summary part, launch evolution (which will block forever), then kill the executive summary, and then voila... Maybe evolution was stuck in trying to access a website somewhere to get its RSS/RDF file for the executive. I wasn't able to find where are stored the executive summary configuration, so I couldn't change them to 'more secure' ones. Hope this helps. Brice On Tue, 2002-01-29 at 22:31, Brian J.

No I have no problem with it. I have problems with urpmi :-)
François.
If RPM is not there, it is not there.
Yes, but why do you have error using ls ?
I already explained and reported it.
I mirror cooker on another system. I then transfer it to Jaz using
rsync -a --delete /path/to/mirror/cooker/i586/ /jaz/cooker/i586/
eject /jaz
mount /jaz
rsync -a --delete /path/to/mirror/contrib/RPMS/ /jaz/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/
Now the first command also mirrors Mandrake/base/RPMS2 link that is O.K. on original
system but points to non-existent directory on first media. That is why I get errors
from ls.
Urpmi checks for correct media by looking at directory. It sees RPMS2 and assumes it
is second CD. From now on it blindly tries to fetch non-existent RPM.
Francois, it is irrelevant why ls returns an error. There may be thousands reasons why
your media gets corrupted. But uprmi must not loop indefinitely. If iy cannot find
required RPM it must tell me so and either quit or go on. This is what happens if you
have file:// media and does not work with removable:// media.

[Cooker] Strange BASH problem
It's not really a problem, but lately (as of the latest Cooker) - when I open a BASH terminal under KDE - then I su to root - do some stuff and type exit, there is an echo of the word exit on the screen and an unusual pause of several seconds before it returns to the normal use account - and when I type exit from the normal windows there is another pause.

[Cooker] Partial Update !
I was wondering if there was I way in the MDK installation, so that we have not installation but partial update on some major Linux components. For example : Core X GNOME KDE I know it would be hard such thing to be done, but at least for closer Linux versions it will be possible .. f.e. 8.0 - 8.1 or 8.1 - 8.2... The main reason for such thing as a point of view is that Linux evolves much faster than most of others OSes and in fact there is no real reason for the most users to REINSTALL everything from the scratch as this is for example for Windows (u know, crashing, alot of garbage even after uninstall etc..).. On the other side we want the new things :), but with current speed linux distros had at least every year a new version.. My MDK8.1 is working perfectly and I dont want to REINSTALL it (i want atleast 2 years stick with one install), but want the new goodeis :) too, on the other hand updating major components need alot of effort and time.. Yes i'm constably updating when something new comes in the cooker, but this are not big packages (f.e. my 8.1 is with Galeon 1.0 and evolution 1.0 .. not with the betas that was in 8.1.) You got my point, what do u think ? raptor [EMAIL PROTECTED]
