It is not in standard system accounts

[root@cooker bor]# grep -i amanda /etc/passwd.rpmnew
[root@cooker bor]#

and it has low (=system) UID ... so I guess it is not preserved by
update-passwd.

Yes, 'artsdsp xmms' works so well it really should replace Noatun as the
standard player in KDE for Mandrake 8.2. The reason: Look at all the
trouble people are having with Noatun.

It does for me every time I upgrade the setup rpm. Any way, there are four
issues I can think of regarding the password and group files:

1. addition/removals of permanent system accounts, ex. recent addition of gica
2. changes in UID/GID of permanent system accounts, ex. change the floppy group
GID from 80 to 70
3. preservation of rpm added system accounts, ex. pppusers, xfs, etc.
4. preservation of user added accounts, ex foo, bar, etc.

I would say management of 1 and 2 under a development distro like cooker can be
tricky, since the changes are to be made differ depending on the version
installed vs the one to be installed, and on cooker there could potentially be
lots of versions. However, I think that for released versions of mandrake,
updates of the setup rpm should work flawlessly; at least within all versions
of a major release (for example 8.0-->8.1, 8.0-->8.2 8.1-->8.2, etc.)

Now, what most people bith about is 3 and 4, and in my opinion these are no
brainers unless their UID/GID conflict with a permanet system account.

My temporary solution is to use the following script to compare the installed
files against the master files, and edit the installed files maually:

[root@fulgore:~/rsync]# more ./acc_compare 
#!/bin/bash

PWD=/etc/passwd
GRP=/etc/group
MPWD=/usr/share/base-passwd/passwd.master

I recall seeing quite a few reports.  I dunno what is so different on
mine.  One of the accounts that I constantly have to put back is this
one:

I'm not using devfs=mount
and I compiled my own kernel without devfs support.

I used the kernel source provided by Mandrake 8.2 Beta2.

RE: [Cooker] I cannot believe!!! Is it Windows or Linux?

[Franki]

perhaps that is something that should be initially filled out at install,
then, should it require changes later, you should be able to start it from
control panel.

One last thing, Mandrake should not make any GUI tools that don't have
console
alternatives, so I'd like to see a setup for this from the console also.
(the servers that can potentially benefit most from this don't always run
GUI.)

I agree with you George-- Msec is definitely one of the tools that

I say again too these Drak tools should all be in the 'Mandrake

Ignore this. It comes from rm /dev/mouse in rc.sysinit, at this point
root is read-only and devfsd tries to remove /lib/dev-state/mouse

Folks, the only reason to have it at here (so early at least) is Aurora.
Now when Aurora if gone may be this code can safely be removed. Strictly
speaking even Aurora does not need it - it takes mouse device from
/etc/sysconfig/mouse that is /dev/psaux in case of normal mouse, I guess
it is never /dev/mouse?

Same results in 16 bit depth as with 32 bit depth. If memory serves it was 
about the time that XFree 4.2 came out that Compupic quit working, so it's

Re: [Cooker] ssh in msec level 4

[avs]

Well, the reason for it lies in your /etc/hosts.deny file. ssh uses the tcp 
wrapper and so it uses that file. And I bet that if you look into your file, 
it says deny to all. Not I believe that even if you change the file by hand, 
msec overwrites it priodically. Either change msec by hand, go to a lower 
level, or don't use it.

strange, I have server at msec 4 and can ssh into it without any

What is in /etc/hosts.{alow,deny}? By default level 4 closes everything

If you want such report be useful in any way please send full contents
or at least enough context around offending lines. Because no one knows
what "enough context" is just cut messages since last boot. There should
no be too many if you do it immediately after bootup.

[Cooker] Gave up on via-rhine drivers :(

[Bill Greenwood]

Well I finally gave up on via-rhine drivers working again (unresolved 
symbols), even though I reported them here 2 times.  This was a D-Link 
(DFE-530TX) network card for my DSL connection, and ran on via-rhine 
drivers.  None of the latest kernels would get fixed.  I had to keep 
going back to 2.4.13-12 to get the good drivers. :(  Kudzu even found 
that D-Link card when it was installed and configured it (and it is now 
unconfigured by Kudzu), and the latest card I just purchased also (which 
Kudzu beautifully configured), which was fondly enough, advertised as 
*Linux compatible*.  This allowed eth0 to load immediately at system 
startup, with no other intervention.

I just hope that the via-rhine situation gets resolved before release 
for the next person that needs them.

[Cooker] 1.654 - Install report

[guran]

Hi

Version:(fmirror ftp.uninett.no)
/ChangeLog/1.654/Mon Feb 18 19:56:32 2002//
Mandrake Linux Cooker-i586 20020219  1:09

Nice install.

1)
There is a graphic miss in individual package selection where every group is 
'checked' with an extra blue front slash on top of the yellow checked sign.

2)
DcopServer might be missing sync sometime. When I installed RealPlayer to 
test for streaming radio, the keyboard was not activated but the mouse was. I 
click on the bullseye, to activate and then on the desktop to kill the devil, 
and everything comes to life again. This have happened several times.

3)
LyX internal error ( when started )
Could not test if directory is writeable.
No such file or directory.

(this have been for a long time, last time I didn't get the following though.)
( unable as user to open /mnt/zip for my saved -.lyx files.)

4)
AbiWord - opens with:
AbiWorld was not able to add its fonts to the X font path.
(medium security + mediocre security in BastilleChooser)

5)
Got sound as before, but unable as user to play a music CD in noatun, as /mnt 
contained no cdrom, floppy or zip.

6)
Mozilla still has iso8859-1 as default when using en_GB.
Likewise KMail has language set as DefaultC.

guran

Mandrake Linux 8.2 Cooker kernel-2.4.17.18mdk-1-1mdk version:2002-02-19-01:09

[Cooker] how many times is an upgrade going to trash my password file?

[Brian J. Murrell]

Every time I upgrade the damn "setup" packages it trashes my passwd
file.  This problem gets reported over and over and over and over
again on this list and it still happens.  I always have to back to
passwd.org and get some of the accounts back.

Can we please stop this madness?

[Cooker] package updates during install

[vernie]

I installed Mandrake 8.2Beta2 and tried the option which update packages. 
I selected one a mirror site where to get the updates and for some reason 
there was a failure upon installing the updated packages.  It also halted the 
installation process and force me to reboot without even reaching the part 
where I have to install the boot loader and X window configuration.  I 
would like to suggest for good that such an option on installation be move 
to the last part after everything to make sure that the system would still 
work in case there's an error during the updating of packages.  This is to 
avoid the whole installation process all over again.

I'm using Mandrake 8.2 Beta2.  I believed the /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound was generated 
when I compiled the alsa drivers from 
Mandrake kernel-source for my compiled kernel.

I know, that's why I did not enable it since there's the /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa script 
that I can use.

It is rsync_exclude. It has

Ron, i would suggest dropping - *.img because we also download the
alternatives.

I was wondering if there was going to be an update to the 1.0.1 cooker

it onto 8.2.

[Cooker] 8.2 Beta 2 Report

[Luc Roseberry]

Big problem with the install. My partitions were:
hda1  /boot
hda5  /
hda6 /usr
hda7 /tmp
...
hdb1swap
...
hds1/home

The last step, lilo and boot program, was stopping. I tried 6 
installations before deciding to change my partitions for
hda1/
removing the  /boot and keeping all the other ones. Then I was able to 
install.

Also the installation is unable to umount the cdrom 2 to mount CD1 when 
requested for the last steps.
Also the installation freezes if I choose to donwload the new fixes 
during the installation.
Also the graphical screen to log in is not displaying correctly.

So some problems of beta 1 fixed (like dcopserver, CD burner not 
running) but new problems. Hope the beta 3 will better.

[Cooker] X/OpenGL crash

[Richard Garand]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm running a cooker system updated in the last two days, and I seem to get a 
lot of crashes with OpenGL programs. Whenever it happens, the program will 
freeze, and a few seconds later the system goes with it and I have to reboot. 
It just happened again half an hour ago and this time I lost some KDE and 
lIcq settings. I have the latest nVidia drivers installed.

Hm, I remember reading something about sym53c8xx being replaced by 
sym53c8xx_2 ; could this have anything to do with the problem?

It would be strange if it were no longer supported--as far as I know it's 
one of the most popular SCSI chipsets around.

Yes there are many problems with xmms-arts ; the problem is that
it is no longer supported so we don't have a solution for that. I

told that kde media player is not very good (which I don't know

[Cooker] lilo alternate kernels and intrd

[Keld Jørn Simonsen]

When lilo locates more kernels in /boot
and generates appropiate entries in /etc/lilo.conf
it generates lines with initrd that are the standard 
initrd instead of looking of an initrd with the 
same version as the kernel in question. I would just
recommend that it looked for that version first
(would have saved me an hour or so before I found out).
That is if the kernel is /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk
the initrd should be /boot/initrd-2.2.17-21mdk.img
(and not /boot/initrd.img)

Kind regards

Re: [Cooker] Audigy Support

Yes, a mate of mine has an audidy and has seen support go from partial

Check:

if thats down just go to:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1

The more hits creative get on their page the better it looks though :)

It is a vary good card. Mandrake support out of the box would be
excellent.

[Cooker] iptables

[tsmets]

Following the content of the very  good article in GNU/Linux magazine France
& in Linux Journal
I end up being able to ping any host (inside or outside my private network),
but I cannot do any TCP connexions what so ever 
I did a 8.1 simple install  & worked out that S03iptables is invoked in
/etc/rc.d
The file iniitalizes a default tables with the "iptables-restore" command.
With "that" the traffic doe not go out of my local network 

I made a script base on LJ 09/2001 : Taming the wild Netfilter... but only
pings reach the outside & I cannot worl out why it does when I alter some
lines & why it stops when altering others.

Could someone explain what i shoud modify to let TCP / UDP traffic reach out
?

Config is like that :

   eth0 (dhcpd)  eth1

well, one of the advantage of using the symlink is that you can keep the same
config after upgrading the kernel... Ok, I know nowadays with installkernel

How can I use chbg to set the background if Nautilus is running?  chbg
has an option for this (something like "force for Nautilus"), however
when this option is set, the image is just stretched, and not tiled
like the properties in chbg are set to.

artsdsp - attempt to reroute audio device to artsd

It is already used in MDK. See "soundwrapper" and menu entries.
"soundwrapper xmms" is already there.

(if I'm missing the point of discussion, excuse me plz)

And BTW, emu10k1 already mixes the sound itself, so I don't need to
use artsd or esd. Could this be handled by soundwrapper? Or
installation procedure?

The yellow comes from /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources' "*Background: #f0"

What's curious here, though, is the loss of markers in checkboxes and

Try kio_fish from apps.kde.org. It is really fast and gives you browing in

Actually, it would be nice to have in the distro, but prolly to late now for 8.2.
you can also try the sftp io slave for konqueror, never tried it though.

does you HD are optimized ?

did you try with a custom preempt or low latency kernel ?

[Cooker] Installation on Laptops

[Edward Tandi]

All,

I am new to this newsgroup, so I apologise if you already know about the 
issues mentioned below. I am sharing my experiences with Mandrake 8.2 
Beta 2 in the hope that it may become easier to install on laptops in 
the future...


Sony PCG-Z600NE
---
This machine has a PCMCIA CD-ROM drive with 128MB RAM and USB floppy.
Booting with ide2=0x180,0x386 succeeds in loading the installation GUI 
and all goes well until it comes to selecting packages. It can't find 
the rpmlist -but from the error message this is not immediately obvious. 
Repeating the attempt in text mode reveals that it can't find the pcmcia 
drivers. So how does it succeed in loading the GUI installer in the 
first place? Why are the pcmcia drivers not detected/included?

Having to resort to a disk install, I copy the contents of the two disks 
onto one of the FAT partitions, each disk under a different directory. 
Thank GOD the USB floppy works! Unfortunately, the disk install wants 
all files under one directory, so I have to re-boot into windows again, 
and manually merge the two directories. Why can't the installer ask for 
the location of the second directory? It manages this OK with CDs. 
Anyway, this time it manages to install the packages. Unfortunately, the 
machine hangs during the network configuration stage.

Having re-booted, I then go into maintenance mode and have to configure 
X (NeoMagic NM2380 MagicMedia 256XL) and the networking manually (pain). 
Also, it appears that none of the GUI tools set NETWORKING=yes in 
/etc/sysconfig/network so one has much fun trying to work out what's 
wrong with it all.

Setting up a new user -why can I no longer select the user id from 
userdrake? This is definitely a retrograde step. I need to have my user 
ids vaguely in step with other systems so that I can occasionally do a 
NFS mount (without the hassle and boot delays incurred using NIS). Back 
to the command-line then. Having set up my X preferences (Gnome and 
Enlightenment), I can't get the sound to work. The mixer works fine 
(turn the mike gain up and you get acoustic feedback), but no audio 
output from Gnome/Enlightnment/xmms. The chip is a Yamaha YMF744B 
[DS-12].  I'm still working on this -any ideas?


Clevo 2700C
--
This is an unusual beast with the SiS 630 Chipset, 128MB RAM, but with a 
built-in CD and floppy.
This install, at first, seems much easier. It installs straight away 
-until it comes to setting up X. The Mandrake installer prompts you to 
use XFree86-3.3.6 with or without an accelerated driver. Glad that it 
has detected the SiS chip and being brave, I choose the accelerated 
option and promptly get a solarising screen followed by a sure hang. Oh 
dear, re-boot. Again in maintenance mode, I manage (eventually) to tweak 
things so that X starts in some recognisable form but the screen 
"shimmers" and will not switch back to text mode, so you're stuck in X. 
Much hair-loss later, I find an example XFree86-4.x configuration on the 
SiS web site. I delete the silly resolutions from the file and Bingo! 
XFree86-4.2 works without the "shimmering" and returns back to the 
console. The only problem I have with it is that xosview appears in the 
wrong colours -anyone have any ideas as to why? All other applications 
so far seem OK. Again, I can't get the sound working (SiS 7018).


Guys, this has to get better.

Yes :-(. As far as it appears, it's probably a kernel bug/problem

[Cooker] XFdrake layout

[Fabrice FACORAT]

Many times people ask how they could change their monitor after they
change it or choose a bad one after the installation.
The pb is that it is not obvious to them that they should look in
XFdrake. Why , because they will see this option only when the test will
fails ( if they try thet test ).
To my mind, if something is not obvious for a newbie, it seems that
there's a pb. XFdrake seems to be more like a wizard than a graphic
config tool
So does XFdrake have a layoput closed to the windows equivalent one ?
Does hit expert button should provide a selection menu with all the
options ?
Does XFdrake should display more options in its main window ?

Actually yes it should depend on perl-base at least, I have to

you're using "diskdrake --removable", is that it?

Subject: [Cooker] uninstalling msec breaks kdm/kdeinit startup ($PATH problem)

I uninstalled msec because I do my security by my own. Then when I
tried to login from KDM, starting KDE stopped in the beginning with an
ERROR (couln't read networking info from /tmp/.dcop make sure
dcopserver is running). When I started KDE with "startx" or from GDM
then KDE started ok.

So I looked into .xsession-errors and found that kdeinit cannot find
"iceauth" binary. So uninstalling msec make KDM environment missing
/usr/X11R6/bin PATH element and that causes kdeinit/dcopserver failing
to start. Installing msec (particularly /etc/profile.d/msec* files)
again makes to problem go away).

I think that uninstalling msec should cause problems with starting KDE
:-)

There are many simple workarounds how to add PATH setting somewhere, I

Ok so it may be the pci scan of the X configuration which locked

First, try "lspcidrake" without the "-v" and send the output.

I don't know how you did it but since I swith to my old AIW128 I'm

really when I see all this pb I wonder why KDE develop arts and noatun.

does flexibility means that a user can select locales that doesn't
correspond to his country ? Indeed linux is not very flexible concerning
this point. KDE can cope with this ( see keyboard layout change ) but
everything else rely on LANG&cie variables

It's true. they need flexibility at this time, and Eurozone is not
flexible enough. But ther's others issues. I read a very interesting
paper concerning the fact that the prime minister of UK should not try
to convince British only with economics arguments as they are pro and
con for this.

Re: [Cooker] I cannot believe!!! Is it Windows or Linux?

I agree with you George-- Msec is definitely one of the tools that 
could use a frontend, just like we have one for rsync (DrakSync).

I say again too these Drak tools should all be in the 'Mandrake 
*Control* Center', where we can *Control* all aspects of our Mandrake 
system.  Maybe another heading? 'Other Drak Tools' ?

1°/ disdrake seems to parse incorrectly /etc/fstab :

/dev/cdrom7 /mnt/cdrom4 iso9660 ro,nosuid,noauto,nodev,exec,user 0 0 


and diskdrake show incorrectly /mnt/cdrom3 and /mnt/cdrom4, it only show

Périphérique : scd2 

no options, no type, no mountpoint. 
floppy and /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdrom2 are correctly report by diskdrake 

2°/ there's should have a line/separator between each listed devices.
indeed it's only when you select it that you can see what is with what.

Well, tried to remove msec. Result is:

rpm -e msec + reboot =

kde won't start (dcop intercomunication error, wrong permission and so on)
gnome won't start (permission errors and applett errors)

then "urpmi msec" = all works, but permission are changed in /home...
