[Cooker] diskdrake screws up devfsd device management!
Jaz drive without media inserted. Before call to diskdrake:
{pts/2}% ll /dev/sda*
lr-xr-xr-x1 root root 33 æÅ× 23 13:55 /dev/sda -
scsi/host0/bus0/target4/lun0/disc
after call do diskdrake (just started, *nothing* else done!)
{pts/2}% ll /dev/sda*
lr-xr-xr-x1 root root 33 æÅ× 23 13:58 /dev/sda -
scsi/host0/bus0/target4/lun0/disc
brw---1 root root 8, 4 æÅ× 23 13:58 /dev/sda4
Pixel, you MUST NOT MANUALLY CREATE ANY NODE in /dev in presence of
devfs/devfsd. The result of the above is that now devfsd never loads
modules needed to correctly access /dev/sda4. Also, permission
management no more works correctly.
The same applies to HD nodes. Start diskdrake, create partition, try to
format it. I tried it for hdb - diskdrake created /dev/hdb8 as *special
file*.
You should refuse formatting in this case. I tried blockdev --rereadpt
but that unfortunately does not work for busy device so there does not
seem to be any way to force driver to refresh partition table.
I repeat - you must not create any device in /dev as long as we are
using devfs. To check for mounted devfs - [ -c /dev/.devfsd ] (or if you
see ide/... in /proc/partitions :-)
With HD it is annoyance - with removables it is a serious bug.

Re: Winbind setup during isntall? (Was Re: [Cooker] beta 3 install)

The only complication is that the box must be joined to the windows domain, which requires smbpasswd, and the user to supply a domain admin username and password. Of course, some changes have to be made to smb.conf (see sample configuration entries already included) and pam.d/system-auth (see example system-auth-winbind file in samba-winbind package). I can work on chkauth to add this functionality, any chance of including it at some stage (maybe too late for 8.2). do it, i'll check the diff, and include it in 8.2 chkauth. *but* I won't modify any GUI config tool (it's too late to modify them).

[Cooker] Another Beta 3 Install Report
*) There is a small bug I have been experiencing since Mandrake 8.1: When I am asked to try out the mouse wheel the lights which significate movement start to light up like mad immediately, this stops after pressing the left mouse button. *) I couldn't install printer, because when trying to I was asked for CD 1 again, but CD 2 wasn't released, so no way. *) Bootdisk creation failed. I assume this has something to do with me using 2 XFS partitions (one encrypted) and the image not fitting on one disk. But shouldn't there at least be a message telling me so BEFORE trying? Otherwise this will end in a lot of users trying out a lot of disks ;) *) Bootsplash was not installed. I assume this is because I didn't install LILO to the MBR again, but does this mean if a user wants to keep his old boot manager he also doesn't get bootsplash? *) Bootdisk creation should really be in front of LILO install, so that the user doesn't get the impression LILO install to the MBR is the only way to boot Mandrake (and in the other direction: if Bootdisk creation fails, there is still LILO...)

[Cooker] boot messages, md-personality-2
I'm not sure append=quiet ... for the default kernel is a good idea. When I boot, all I get to see is a few harmless kernel error messages: request_module[md-personality-2]: Root fs not mounted and 2 stray [OK] that just appear by themselves. Under that framebuffer, everything is working normally. But I have to admit, I was really freaked out when that message was *all* I saw =P It would be better to have *no* output messages then to show *only* the error messages. It's easy enough to have another lilo entry that works normally.

of permissions not being applied.
- and /etc/devfsd.conf tells us we must not fiddle with /dev/pt{s,y}
permissions.
Well, it doesn't quite say that. What it says is that you don't want
to have permissions persistence for /dev/pt{s,y} devices. That doesn't
mean you can't or shouldn't have a PERMISSIONS action.
So could anybody give ultimate answer on
- should devpts be used in presence of devfs?
No.
- how to manage permissions of pts - i.e. why they cannot be managed by
devfsd?
As Russell said in his follow-up, use a PERMISSIONS action on the
REGISTER event.

that looks like pts/0 got permissions from devpts and others from devfs

I doubt that. More likely some programme changed the permissions for
pts/0 (perhaps xconsole or th Gnome equivalent?).
I booted without mounted devpts and all of them have the same

Interesting.
may be there are different ways to open pty and they take different
paths.
Could be. If so, it's most likely to be in the glibc PTY allocation
code. It wouldn't surprise me, considering how much bloated shit is
already in glibc. I know that they had hard-wired Unix98 PTY
allocation to devpts at one point, and needed a patch to support devfs
as well (which was added). Instead of their pointless hard-wiring,
they could have just dropped that code and it would work automatically
irrespective of the FS type.
But this imply that we really should not use devpts due to
possiblilty of permissions not being applied.
Looks like it. Sigh. It would be nice if someone could do some
stracing to figure out what was being done behind the covers.
Ouch. Sorry, it lingered in unsent messages, I forgot to remove it.
To close the theme, permissions are alike both with and without devpts
(at least using kernel and glibc shipped by current Mandrake cooker). In
the very first case I presume permissions were modified by some process.
It means that devfsd.conf mods will work and the only drawback is user
confusion if they will try to modify permissions via devpts mount
options (because it seems to be completely ignored).

Hi all, Basically, we don't have anymore accented character support between windows linux, i.e. a file named éàùè.txt from windows on a samba share will be listed .txt in a terminal in the linux shared directory. Tested on 8.1 with samba-2.2.3a(-5mdk): same problem with windows ME. The samba team has not reacted yet, but the kernel hack seems to work. Should it be integrated in cooker yet or should we wait for the samba team to issue a patch? cheers Le Samedi 23 Février 2002 18:16, vous avez écrit : Hello, Many people seems to experience the folowing problem : Since samba 2.2.3, on some system, one couldn't see accents in win2k share with smbmount but they can see them with smbclient. After a bit of work here's a working solution in the case of a french environment (checked on Debian testing): 1. use smbmount = 2.2.3 2. your kernel must be compiled with: CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT=y CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE=cp437 CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT=iso8859-1 CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_XX=m --- It seems that if there's no NLS_DEFAULT smbmount is unable to do the correct codepage-NLS translation even if playing with the iocharset and codepage options on the commandline. sbmclient (2.2.3) works well without CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT and CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE nor it needs the CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT=iso8859-1 (cp437 works!).

I even asked why the same option as is applied to the creation of the boot disk could not be used when saving pkg selection or creating auto install floppy. In the event that you do not have a USB Zip during installation when making a boot disk the default is sda when this fails you are given the option of selecting either sda Or fd0.

I'm doing a text install on 8.2beta3 and noticed something that, to me, is VERY important. When one reaches the point of setting up the filesystems, there's no option to reload the partition table as there is in the GUI install mode. I tend to do a CTRL-ALT-F2 to get to a VC, use fdisk to wipe the existing table and re-create it, and then get back over to the GUI version in that mode, reload the table and then assign mount points and fs types. But one can't do that in the TUI mode (at least I couldn't find out how). I had to reboot and give it another go. Also, when one wants to change the FS type, there's no drop down box or any other method by which one can select one. The default is Journalised FS: ext3, which is fine, but if I simply say reiserfs or xfs, it fails when it attempts to write to disk. I know this has been missing on previous versions too, so I thought I'd mention it. Especially now that the minimal install is available, it seems that Mandrake's starting to gear themselves for the server market (where I've been using it for years). To get around this previously, I'd had to remove the drive from the machine w/ the terrible graphics card (who cares what kind of a graphics card is in a server where it's typically headless anyway) and install it in a secondary machine to do the install. Not ideal. At any rate, I can't imagine that I'm the only one that's attempted to use this functionality. And for those of us to whom the graphical install method is still quite new, it'd be *really* nice to get that working and fully functional. Just my $0.02... Cheers, -s __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
