Re: [Cooker] Kernel-2.4.8.2 and Nvidia drivers (The never ending story!)
Heya, Just a quick question. How are you building them? Directly from source, rpm --rebuild, rpm -ba (or -bp) or? I have them currently installed on 2.4.8-2 without any problems (created from src.rpm and rpm -ba).

Re: [Cooker] Filesizes are listed wrong (ls versus du) [notabug]
On Mon, Mar 04, 2002 at 08:47:06AM +0100, Alexander Skwar wrote: 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. 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. The logical file size can be X but actual physical disk usage (space it's actually occuppies on a disc) could be Y (where Y = X), because the file can have holes in it. ls shows file sizes, du shows disc usage. If you create new file, seek to 6MB and write 1kB of data, you will get file which contains 6MB+1kB of data which actually occupies something more than 1kB but much smaller space than 6MB ... Try this: df . dd if=/dev/zero of=test seek=1 count=1 ls -l test du -hs test df . 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)? The second - not exactly, because it occupies a little more space, but you propable get the idea. P.S. It's an OFFTOPIC here, try searching google with something like file size disc usage space holes if you want more.

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?
then try to unset them to see.

Ok, it seems the problem causing segfaulting of WordPerfect, etc it's a zero-length /etc/ldsopreload file placed there by some 80/81 script I just uploaded to cooker a patched ldso1-1911-6mdki586rpm so it doesn't segfault with a zero length ldsopreload (well, maybe it still could choke with libsafe preloaded in /etc/ldsopreload, not yet tested myself) So, to use libc5 based applications such as Word Perfect 8, you should install these packages: ldso1-1911-6mdki586rpm libc-base-5312-36mdki586rpm and if needed: libc-extras-5312-36mdki586rpm This should also work for Mathematica 412, old Matlab 53, etc Bye Giuseppe
[Cooker] 8.3 beta 3 Network install vs CDRom install (display option)
The cdrom boot image should configure networking if the 'display' parameter is specified. I tried to do an install using the network.img (dated 26 Feb 2002), and saw that there was a display option. This worked as I expected: I booted from a network.img disk, hit F1, and typed vgalo display=192.168.0.254:0 to have the X part of the install appear on a remote display. The installer asked me to set up networking (expected because I am installing from an FTP site), and then when the X-based installer was loaded, everything appeared on the correct remote display. No problem, and I'm impressed at this point. Later on a different machine, I have the beta 3 iso burned to CDROM, and try to do the same trick. Only this time, I wasn't prompted to set up networking, and when the installer tried to open my remote display, it failed, and quit the installer. It would be good if the cdrom boot image prompted the user for network configuration info if the display option has been given on the command line. === Steven Mackenzie Active Navigation Ltd http://activenavigation.com/ +44 (0) 23 8074 2420 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I find that interesting because without the qce-ga driver (which I downloaded and built from the sourceforge website), camstream and GnomeMeeting do not work as they do not find the cam on /dev/video0. /dev/video and /dev/video0 exist but there are errors opening them. However, when I install the driver from sourceforge, it works fine. Could this be a problem with the driver in Mandrake's kernel?

Re: [Cooker] 8.3 beta 3 Network install vs CDRom install (display option)
From: Pixel [EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be good if the cdrom boot image prompted the user for network configuration info if the display option has been given on the command line. you can't do this. There's no network modules on the cdrom boot image. Fair enough. Perhaps the installer could warn when the display parameter is used, or just ignore it ... Now, it quits with a Could not open display ... message, which might leave a user confused as to why the display couldn't be opened. (It would have confused me if I hadn't already done a network install, and even then, I tried CDROM install with display twice to make sure I hadn't entered my display wrongly ...) It's a great feature though -- I made everyone in the office look at it while it was working :)

Both are correct. That file has one giant hole, it's mostly nulls and hasn't been allocated many disk blocks. 'ls' reports the filesize as reported in the header of the file. 'du' reports the number of disk blocks allocated. If you were to 'cp' that file, you'll find the new file has a much larger disk usage.
