Hm, I don't understand.  I first thought you were saying that in the
above file there were only 380 KiB of data and because of a seek or
something, it would take up 6 MiB.

What I'd like to know now:  If my partition is 500 MiB, how many of
those "6" MiB files with 380 KiB data can I have on the partition?
500/6 or is it 500/(380/1024)?

I don't remember having created these files.
I surely used this script taken from this howto :

}
#
function pd {
  D=$( printf \\$( printf "x%03x" $[ $1 + 97 ] ) )
  mkdev pd$D b 45 $[ $1 * 16 ]
  for P in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
  do mkdev pd$D$P b 45 $[ $1 * 16 + $P ]
  done
}
#
cd /dev
#
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do pd $u ; done

#
# end of mkd

That's the way it works here, at least for normal banks with local
branches. With them at least you pay extra for the privilege of online
banking, even though you save them money using it. They want to have
their cake and eat it too. Maybe the online-only banks don't charge
extra.

[Cooker] xmms fails to play symbolic link to playlist

[Con Kolivas]

In it's current incarnation, xmms cannot play a .m3u playlist if it is 
accessed by clicking on a symbolic link (put on the desktop for example). 
Clicking directly on the actual playlist (which has only relative pathnames 
to the .ogg files) works fine. This was not the previous behaviour of xmms.

1024x768, and 1280x1024, but leave out 640x480.

What gives?

No, this driver only works with Lucent modems. If you look at the
Linmodem-HOWTO 
you'll see that there is a driver for ES56T-PI and ES56V-I, but I
don't think they'd work for you.

Agreed, and if kernel-enterprise-2.4.foo is the only kernel package you
have installed, then 'rpm -q kernel' should show you nothing.

But I only have kernel-2.4.foo installed and I would fully expect to see
that package listed when I 'rpm -q kernel'. If I want to check all
installed packages with kernel in the name, I will grep.

Hello, fellow cookers

This one is a weird one - but very repeatable.  I'm using a LG model
510 triple mode cell phone, with the connecting cable, for wireless internet
browsing while i'm away from the office.  I've got it working for e-mail, 
browsing, and using gAIM.  Here's the problem, and I don't know if it's a
ppp problem, a kppp problem, or a cvs problem.. but cd'ing into the

tells the phone to hang up!

Isn't there a setting in XF86Config-4 that you have to change (and

That's not the point. If you have a GUI configuration tool to set mouse

Yes, you do. gnome is for individual user. XF86Config-4 is for everybody

You say things much better than i could [excepted that i thing that the 
window manager isn't important here cause it happens also when i use 
icewm.] And for GTK+ theme , if removing ~.gtkrc means that i don't use 
GTK+ theme , that's right !
Very strange, isn't it ,  but it's not a random problem. And now i think 
that  we found what's going wrong here.

In fact it seems that Guillaume Cottenceau was right when he said that 
the problem was related to X [and to ATI RAGE 128 card ]and i'll try to 
explain why i think so.

So when i received  your mail , i decided to do a fresh install of beta 
3 before doing your test. But during the installation , at the X 
configuration step , "drakx" recognized my graphical card [ATI RAGE 128 
PRO],i've chosen XFree4.2.0 with 3d acceleration, but the "configuration 
test" failed [for the first time i think] with this error message 
"Couldn't open default font fixed "
So i've made the configuration of X manually [wasn't very difficult 
cause my graphical card and my monitor  was in the list] and continued 
the installation process.
After rebooting , i've noticed, surprised, that the problem has 
disappeared [no more crash thus] but it's take me a while to notice that 
the 3D acceleration was disabled [in fact this line: Load  "glx" and 
Load "dri" wasn't there on /etc/X11/XF86Config-4]

Thus i've launched "XFdrake" from a shell to configure X much better , 
kill X and log in again : 3D acceleration was back [means for me that i 
was able to  play to chromium again :)] but the X crash was back too [as 
i've described it before]. So i've take a look on XF86Config-4 and 
commented [with a #] the line who is loading "glx" and "dri" and log 
out/log in again: no more X crash.

TO sum up : commenting those line [load "glx"] and [load "dri"] on my 
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 always fix the problem . Loading those module [glx 
and dri] for my ATI RAGE 128 card, makes always crash X when i use GTK 
application ...
Moreover If you take a look on the thread on this mailing-lis about 
"XFreeze" , you'll see that Mr.Charles A Edwards ;who has  the same 
video card ; has encountered the same X crash also.

Available of course for more investigation :-)

PS:attached to this mail , the /etc/XF86Config-4 made by drakX with my 
help during the install process and the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 made by 
"XFdrake" when i've launched it.

[Cooker] xmovie in 8.2 beta 3

[Edward Tandi]

All,

In Mandrake 8.0, xmovie was superb. I get an error when trying to open 
mpeg 2 (SVCD) files -no supported codecs. It also reports the following 
error when trying to open quicktime (.mov) files:

Trying to load external codec quicktime_codec_SVQ1.so
Can't load the codec
quicktime_codec_SVQ1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

I've searched the RPMs for the aforementioned library but to no avail. I 
presume the lack of support for codecs will be sorted in the final 
release? Or will there be a better replacement for xmovie?

Mplayer does not seem to be on the rpms, so that leaves poor old xanim 
to hold the fort. I think fixing xmovie is the right way.

Ed-T.

I don't know exactly if this is really OK, but it is probably OK,
because you can have "holes" in a file (open/create file, seek to X MB
and write something, close it), so file size can be large but actual
disk usage is small. Coredump is likely to have an hole in it.

This way you can have 378MB file on a 10MB partition and have 6MB free
of it for example ;-)

> du -h core.29027

Uhm, how can it be that ls reports that the file takes 6.2 MB and du
only says 396K?  What is correct?

core.29027: ELF 32-bit LSB core file of 'nslookup' (signal 25), Intel 80386, version 1

Look on the regular cooker mirrors for the SRPMS.  The beta3 SRPMS
aren't archived separately.  So if the version you need isn't there the
best you can do is get what you want out of CVS.  You'll be able to get
the SPEC file and the patches from the CVS.  The source you'll have to
get from somewhere else on the net.

Here's the URL for the CVS stuff:

market share != authors caring what you think.  I'm sure you can find
lots of projects that don't care what any of the distributions think or
for that matter if they include their software.  You're presuming way
too much.  Furthermore, if the author disagreed with that change so much
as to write the FAQ the way he did then it's unlikely he'll change it
for you, Mandrake, RedHat or anyone else no matter what market share
they have.

Case in point Microsoft has a lot of market share.  Somehow I'd suspect
the people who wrote that FAQ wouldn't listen to them either.

I applaud the author of KMail for supporting this standard, and I
would encourage all mail user agents to support it.  I use Mutt, for
example, and it REALLY helps when you have a lot of email to read,
that the signature can be made a lower contrast.  If you KNOW the
sender, you probably already know what's in the signature, and if you
are reading a mailing list, I usually don't care much about the
signature unless I particularly like or dislike the posting, or maybe
if I have extra time to spare.

It's one of that class of conveniences that is not for the sender, but
the recipient.  Honor the author's decision and keep it in.

Yes, I haven't been able to build the kernel from source, either, which

I tried this. It looks like the boot kernel does not have loopback 
support. I'm not sure what to do, then.

I did install 2.4.17-10mdk from Beta 1. But when I tried to create an 
initrd it says:

No module xfs_dmapi found for kernel 2.4.17-10mdk

Someone said that creating a 2.4.18-2mdk kernel manually fixed the 
problem for them, but I don't know if they are using XFS or not.

I suppose Mandrake just might impact program development efforts. It

decisions could affect development.

None of which I care for after trying them. Linux shouldn't be about being 
forced to use what you don't want.

And I suppose one could argue that there is a choice after all; I hope the 
author at least made is easy to patch the source code. 8)

However, there are some valid points to be made for the two dashes. Look at 
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kmail&m=99189988725626&w=2

And I can see the point, but that still doesn't excuse the offensive nature 
of the FAQ. Perhaps the FAQ author should put more effort into education if 
he's so convinced he's right.

It seems to me that if there were enough complaints to put it in the FAQ, 
there is some desire for it to be an option. With the dashed -removed- by 
default, one only needs to put them in their sig if it is desired. It could 
pop up by default in the sig editing window (with the capability to be 
erased) and that's fine.That's a lot easier that patching the source code and 
recompiling.That's all I'm asking.

The purpose of the "dash, dash, space" goes back quite some time and is
described in RFC 2646, which states:

4.3.  Usenet Signature Convention

   There is a convention in Usenet news of using "-- " as the separator
   line between the body and the signature of a message.  When
   generating a Format=Flowed message containing a Usenet-style
   separator before the signature, the separator line is sent as-is.
   This is a special case; an (optionally quoted) line consisting of
   DASH DASH SP is not considered flowed.

While this list is not part of Usenet, most mailing lists conform to this
convention...

It works. It seems the CD I was trying during the tests was not good. I just 
put a line in fstab mentionning /dev/scd0.
I don't understand the purpose of all the linking made under cdroms and 
others.

[Cooker] LTModem Drivers for Linux (eg. Dell Inspiron 2500)

[Marc Lijour]

There is hope for Dell Inspiron 2500 owners and other :

a driver seems to work with the winmodem and they have rpm for Mandrake (not 
everything you may want though). Here some links :

http://linmodems.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:7482:200203:nclbcdcbpkgdagboijmj

Address for the newest source as of March 2 2002 :

It would be nice to have that in 8.2

Ok, if latest boot kernel contains orinoco we can add it to

Why don't you just quit using Kmail if it bugs you so much?  I seriously

well, we placed back ld.so1 and libc-base/extra-5.3.12-36mdk for that reason, of 
course ld.so1
should coexists with the version2 which is the default one and not OVERRIDES files. For
ldd-ing of old libraries/executables ld.so1 package provides the binary ldd-libc5.

Pay them extra fees?  Uh?  You mean, you've gotta pay for saving them
money?  Well, here in Germany it's rather the case that they pay you if
you do online banking.  Well, they don't exactly pay you, but they don't

[Cooker] Feature Request - KMail re: Those two dashes above the sig . . .

[Hoyt]

Re: Those two dashes above the sig . . .

The KMail FAQ first ridicules the person asking the question 

"6.9 My signature has two dashes above it. This makes me very sad."

and then arrogantly states:

" Separating the signature from the message body with two dashes and a space 
is a common and useful kind of standard. If you have strong feelings about 
this I suggest you modify the KMail source to remove that line."

While the FAQ entry might be amusing, it's not very professional. 

Why don't we remove the dashes by default until the authors make it a 
configurable option giving the user the choice? If you _like_ the dashes (and 
the FAQ author appears to like them so much, in fact, that he will gleefully 
force you to use them), they can easily be added to the sig file.

But for kernel, (for example) kernel-enterprise-2.4.17.22mdk-1-1mdk, the 
package _name_ is kernel-enterprise-2.4.17.22mdk, while the versioning
is the -1-1mdk, which is a scheme unique to the kernel package.  You can
also use:

$ rpm "-qa kernel*" to list all kernel packages installed.  (add "| sort"

I asked about it from a week or so ago, but no one said anything about it.  
Rpmfind.net (and presumably other mirrors) have the srpm, but no pre-compiled except
the 2.4.13 version:::

[Cooker] postgres problems

[Keld Jørn Simonsen]

When trying to move my databases I had problems with 
postgres, psql says that 
psql: FATAL 1:  Database "postgres" does not exist in the system
catalog.
It probably should be defined as a default database.

[Cooker] Logitech Quickcam Express

[Marc Lijour]

Hi,

is there a chance to have the qce-ga driver in the kernel?
(it's not that I have it working!)

Is there a working driver for the Logitech Quickcam Express.? I can't get 
that working despite of the hardware being listed in the Mandrake 
'compatibility list' on the web-site.

If I don't insmod paride first then insmod bpck6 does not work.

No,
I wrote both lines in the right files.
$modprobe bpck6
continues to work but I always have to modprobe pcd manually to be able to 
access the CDROM.

I automatized the process writing this lines in /etc/modules.conf :
pre-install pcd modprobe bpck6
pre-install pg modprobe pcd

Then cdrecord -scanbus automatically calls pg and it loads all the others. 
The same happens with xcdroast.

But how can I do to have the pcd loaded when I issue a mount like the 
following command ?
$mount -t iso9660 /dev/pcd0 /mnt/cdrom

The 'probeall ide-probe-mod bpck6' and 'alias /dev/pcd* pcd' seems not to be 
necessary.

Seems to me they are real devices. bpck6 is the driver for the backpack 
(model 193200). pcd comes on top of that and allows me to use the device as 
/dev/pcd0 (ide).

If I don't insmod pg then cdrecord -scanbus gives nothing. If I do it works 
like above.

It works fine! cdrecord -scanbus seems to have pg loaded automatically and it

There is two TEAC because the other one is the cdrom from my laptop which I

$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom/
mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
   or too many mounted file systems

Could you help me with this one too?

It was discussed on the list around 23 January.
Pablo Saratxaga was into that discussion also.

The plain error message when running xwp, or strace /path/to/xwp is like:
ldd /opt/wp8/wpbin/xwp
/usr/bin/ldd: line 1:  7133 Bus error   LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 LD_WARN= 
LD_BIND_NOW= LD_LIBRARY_VERSION=$verify_out LD_VERBOSE= "$file"

While it should show this:
ldd /opt/wp8/wpbin/xwp
libXt.so.6 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40012000)

libICE.so.6 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x401c2000)


That is with the libc-5.rpm and /lib/ld-linux.so.1 
Exchanging glibc's ldconfig with ld.so's ldconfig gives exactly the same error.
Installing the glibc and ldconfig rpms of mdk 8.1 makes no difference either.
Maybe it is caused by the locales rpms?

The libc-5 libraries are placed in /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig -v does show 
them.

[Cooker] xmms freezing the computer...

[Baal]

Hi,

When i click on an html link that points to an mp3 file with galeon or
Mozilla my computer immédiatly freezes. This is not only the X server
because after the freeze, it is also impossible to ssh in from another
computer.This makes it very hard to see what happens...

These are the packages involved:
xmms-1.2.6-2mdk
mozilla-0.9.8-6mdk
galeon-1.0.3-4mdk

If someone needs more info just ask ;)

Regards,

Baal

As I stated in another post I can get WP8 to install using the graphical installation 
and can even run xwpdraw but xwp segfaults with no other error output.

BUT WP8 will not even install if you use the ld.so1 rpm from cooker.
I had to use a RH ld.so rpm.

I am not a coder but one big difference in ld.so and ld.so1 is that ld.so overwrites 
ldconfig and ld.so1 does not.

If I understand it correctly, bpck6 is IDE adapter and pcd is IDE
device. modules.devfs probes ide-probe-mod for IDE devices which means
we could setup (just like for SCSI)

probeall ide-probe-mod bpck6

is it possible to autodetect it during installation? If not you have to
add the above to /etc/modules.conf yourself :(

/dev/pcd* is missing, correct. So, if you add

/etc/modules.conf:
probeall ide-probe-mod bpck6

/etc/modules.devfs:
alias /dev/pcd* pcd

does it help?

Please, give also

ls -l /dev/pcd*

are they real devices or links?

Is loading pg enough? Then current modules.devfs has a bug. Change

# Scsi generic for cd burners
alias /dev/pg   /dev/sg
alias /dev/pg*  /dev/pg

into

alias /dev/pg* pg

and please tell if it works.

Try glibc-devel.

It is on the beta CDs and on Cooker ftps.

[Cooker] Feature Request

[Nelson Bartley]

heyo,

A very simple feature request. When the mandrake installer selects a
journalized filesystem, it auto selects ext3. Could the option for ext3
be added to the hd.img boot disk? I tried to use the hd.img boot disk
but it wouldn't read my ext3 partition.

You can do this with any other package that you have multiples installed

[Cooker] tcl problem...

[Baal]

Hi,

I just upgraded the tcl to version tcl-8.3.3-12mdk and this is what
happens when I try to start my eggdrop:

[baal@mydotcom bot]$ eggdrop beo.conf
eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
[baal@mydotcom bot]$

Doing this soft link took care of the problem:

[root@mydotcom baal]# ln -s /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so /usr/lib/libtcl.so

This needs to be fixed...

Have a nice day!

No they should are installable at the same time on purpose.  The config
file for httpd checks to see if httpd-perl is installed and vice versa.
If both are installed then httpd-perl runs on a high port (8200).  Then
httpd proxies all requests in the /perl tree to the 8200 port.

The logic here is to avoid the overhead of the built in perl httpd for
simple static requests like .html and image files.

(For more information search for PERLPROXIED in httpd-perl.conf)

This is something that keeps popping up in cooker for atleast the last 2
years. Instead of installing locales-n it will install locales-(n-/+1).
It is always ironed out when going "gold" but with a non-freezed cooker
it is normal
