[Cooker] Has anyone tried to use a supermounted DVD with Ogle or VideoLan?
It didn't seem to work for me and I had to unmount the drive and re-mount as a straight-up CDROM drive before I got Ogle to play DVDs. Too clumsy for general consumer use in that context, I think. -- Frank Earl

Re: [Cooker] qt designer in beta 2?
I installed qt2-designer 2.3.1-24mdk from cooker, however, kdevelop 2.0.2-7mdk expects qt-designer to be named "designer", and not designer-qt2. A simple symlink fixes this, but shouldn't qt designer be installed with this name (or at least a symlink?), or should kdevelop look for qt2-designer?

I am wondering about the naming of the the kde3 RPMS Is the naming of them that is currently in use in contrib going to be the official naming of them when they are eventually moved over into cooker? Or are they going to change how they are names. I see that right now everything has a 3 after it to make it possible ot install it along side of kde2, that is why i am wondering.

I found it. It took a while though. www.linux-mandrake.com then under "developers" on left menu, go to cooker, then half way down the page it reads: "How to contribute to the debugging? Subscribe to the ' Cooker ' mailing list (see above). When you encounter a problem, go to our problem tracking system." There is a link from "our problem tracking system" to qa.mandrakesoft.com which if of course is much easyer to just start at. It could be easer to find with a link under developers to "bugzilla" or something like that from the main linux-mandrake page. Ant On Fri, 2002-02-15 at 11:03, Brian J.

[Cooker] 8.2beta2 feedback
Greetings, Looks good, but here's a few things that I noticed when installing beta2 on my Sony VAIO 505 (one of the thin little fellas): In the description the Paranoid level in "Choose security level", it reads "Paranoid: We base on the previous level, yet now the system is entirely closed. Security features are at their maximum." The first couple of words are a little awkward -- perhaps, "Based on the previous level, but the system is entirely closed..." I don't know -- what do you think? And in the Help menu below, the "expenses of easiness of use" might want to be changed to "expense of ease of use", as it currently reads as ..."However, a higher security level is generally obtained at the expenses of easiness of use."... It might be too late for this, but I was initially doing an install over NFS. On the NFS server, I had the isos mounted via loopback on /mnt/tmp1 and /mnt/tmp2 (the first disc being on tmp1 and the second on the latter). Everything was going perfectly fine until it reached the point in time where it was trying to install the packages on the second disc. Could there be an option when installing over NFS to enable more than one install source? When setting up a network printer, selecting the postscript driver for the HP 2100M, and having it print out a standard test page, not only did it print out that test page, but spooled eight *more* pages with random chars on it. It would have spooled more, but I didn't see the need to let it keep on keeping on for the sake of testing purposes. And finally, when logging into X for the first time, the default icons were a bit disorganised (I don't know if they are on anyone else's display, but this is running 4.2.0 at 1024x768 and 16bit on a generic LCD. And I know it's not the fault of Mandrake, but that battery monitor on the gnome panel sure is ugly when there's more than one battery in the laptop (see attached screenshot). Anyway, those are my observations with a quick 8.2beta2 install. If there's anything on which I can provide more information, please just drop me a line.

However, if the drive is inserted after the system has booted no modprobe'ing takes place, although as my previous response indicated the device has been detected and correctly identified.

[Cooker] msec patch (syslog fix)
Since installing 8.2 beta 2 (I never installed beta 1), I have been
annoyed at having to rewrite my /etc/syslog.conf file daily, so I hacked
this patch together.
It enables a standard rule to be defined for the tty12 syslog.
I have tested it only against msec-0.18-3mdk, but I can't find anything
in the changelogs to indicate that it will break in later versions...
P.S., this is the first patch I've submitted anywhere... don't be too
hard on me if it sucks ass...

Yes. This should read:
multi-gnome-terminal BuildRequires flex
instead of
rpm-build Requires flex
The latter one means virtually all package building would require flex.

This looks nice, and can be the way to go. But one flaw yet to be
plugged: it has no idea of "optional dependencies". pango is a good
example -- it can build with only glib 1.3.x, yet it can optionally
include external fribidi library. In this way, fribidi library won't be
listed as BuildRequires, since pango can build without it.

Think this through -- which package has the requirement -- the
target to be built, or rpm?
It is the package which you are building, and not rpm package
(which emits rpm-build package, which contains rpmbuild
binary) which BuildRequires it -- not rpm-build itself.
RPM will happily rebuild from sources without flex; seemingly
the target package will not.

That's right, but: I forgot to add that sometimes (and this was my case) you need to exchange files with Windows users, in particular with Windoze users using MS Outlook and MS Exchange server, which has exact limit of 2MB in setup.

... Actually, this turns out not to be the case;
There is a script which walks the rebuild process
(forget the name at the moment) and does essentially:
1. Build in a chrooted environment from a known base;
Pre-install any 'BuildRequires hints' in existing
.spec file
2. Auto detect a failed build and install the needed
BuildDependency
3. Repeat until it builds
4. Using file, check every changed file access time,
generating a list
5. Using rpm -qf --qf '%{name}\n' build a list of all
owning packages called.
6. Sort | uniq | grep -v anything in the absolute minimum base
install | grep -v 'existing hints'
What is left is all of the new BuildRequires: of that package
-- add to .spec file -- restore base build environment to a
pristine state -- go to next package

Andrej, can you try with bmp2mdk in lilo documentation directory to select right color (input source is currently limited to 128 colors in BMP file uncompressed). François.

The variable is RES_COL in /etc/sysconfig/init I don't know if it's used for graphical boots (eg: aurora and the like). Maybe it could also be increased a bit. A typical text screen is 80 columns wide, and the widest of all the status strings is the Swedish translation, that makes, the [ ] included, 14 chars. So, setting RES_COL to 65 would still be ok and allow a bit more space for text messages. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975

[Cooker] xmms doesn't seem to work anymore
i updated my system with the latest kde updates from cooker and now xmms doesn't seem to want to work anymore as a non root user. Running it as root works fine. When executing xmms from a xterm as a non root user it just hangs and has to be terminated. Root can run this program just fine. I don't get any error messages on either the xterm nor in .xsession=errors or in /var/log/messages . I have the latest version of xmms installed and the following xmms packages are installed. libxmms11.2.6-2mdk xmms1.2.6-2mdk xmms-arts 0.4-7mdk xmms-readcd 0.14a-1mdk xmms-kde0.6.5-5mdk xmms-skins 1.0.0-12mdk Oh btw i did delete the .xmms directoy in my user directory to see if it would fix it. which it doesn't. /MattB
[Cooker] RAR archiver - pls add to LM / Cooker
Can someone from MDK add rar archiver to Cooker/LM 8.2, please? It's available for several Linux distros, and I am wondering why MDK doesn't have it. Check http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rar&submit=Search+... I have taken this source ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/PLD/current/dists/ra/PLD/SRPMS/SRPMS/rar-2.90-2.src.rpm and rebuild it without any problem (except rpm wanted , for some reason, to be built as root) resulting binary (i586) rar works fine. Reason why you may want to use rar, instead of zip: zip can't cut archive into multiple pcs, say, of 1.5MB You may need to send files as an attachment by mail, and as many mail servers reject all mails with attachements >2MB, tool like rar is absolutely necessary to have! -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
[Cooker] rpmdrake-1.4-12mdk & curl problem
Heya, I just had a problem adding a new resource with rpmdrake. It would go through and add the resource, but would only use the Synthetic. I'm on a fast enough connection and prefer the full list. This had started happening earlier... narrowed it down to curl: --- [root@luna justus]# urpmi.addmedia "Contrib" ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 with ../base/hdlist2.cz added medium Contrib retrieving description file of "Contrib"... curl: (19) Failed to open file. retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "Contrib"... curl: (9) Couldn't cd to pub/Mirrors/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/../base ...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 9 or signal 0 retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "Contrib" unable to update medium "Contrib" --- Usually this would go through and search and eventually find the Synthetic. Anyway, to get to the point. I removed curl (curl2-7.9.4-3mdk) and it worked without any problems. Not sure if this comes directly from curl or the way that it is called by urpmi. Hope this helps :) Justin T

Re: [Cooker] 2002-02-14 Cooker Bug Report
But doing this can trip you up too, cause restarting the daemon often causes the
cupsd.conf to be reverted to the generic one (with browsing on).
You either need to add the line
CUPS_CONFIG=manual to the /ustc/sysconfig/printing file
OR
do a chmod a-x to /usr/sbin/setcupsconfig.
Maybe a tweak of the cups daemon script?
This is compulsory if you dont use printerdrake to setup printing. (Which I dont -
cause I cant get it to work unless I setup printing during the actual install process).
