[Cooker] 8.2 install - RPMS2

2002-03-22 Thread Ron Stodden

I have done an hd.img install of 8.2 which lacked the symbolic link from
the RPMS directory to the contrib directory, the link being called
RPMS2.   The install proceeded well, except at the end libmetakit,
gnome-guile, flightgear, kwintv, openuniverse, sylpheed, etc were
reported as "An error occurred...".  These are all located in the
contrib directory.

So I created the missing link and reran the install, choosing "update
packages only".

_None_ of the aforementioned packages were installed!!!

What did I do wrong?   How does one get the missing packages installed?

DUH. why do you think i wanted to delete it. 
hda12 was not yet used space which i wanted to use. Partition was made with 
diskdrake for your information.

ps Maximale bestandsgrootte overschreden

It's fairly standard to offer bulk licensees a vastly reduced price.
With several thousand users, Mandrake probably has to pay something, but
less than $100.

This is kind of similar to M$'s bulk discounts (especially to OEMs).  I
would doubt that Dell or Gateway pays more than $40 for Windows or $75
for Office.

[Cooker] USB mouse problems

2002-03-22 Thread Boban M. Jelica

Hi there,
I've problems with my Microsoft (yeah i know, but it rocks in CS) 
IntelliExplorer 3.0 USB mouse.
First during installation the mouse works, but then after choosing USB 
wheel mouse and install shows my USB ports it stops responding. A quick 
look at kernel output console shows this message looping:

usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout

After finishing install with little help from keyboard, mouse works fine 
in X and KDE.
But then sometimes while starting MCC, it stops working, and again quick 
look at the kernel logs shows the same mess. as above.
Restart and everything works just fine.

Any ideas? Known problem?

[Cooker] [Scandrake / Mdk 8.2 Final] UMAX2000P trouble/solution

2002-03-22 Thread francois

Hi.

Got a (exotic?) Umax 2000 _Parallel port_ but supported by SANE.
Trouble with scan configuration tool:

1/ "Scandrake" writes "port /dev/usb/scanner" instead of "port 0x378" in 
/etc/sane.d/umax-pp.conf
2/ It's better to uncomment everything excepted umax_pp in 
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf
3/ the dynamic library libsane-umax_pp.so.1.0.7 does NOT work (at least with 
my scanner); for those who have Mdk 8.1 sane-backends, you can take 
libsane-umax_pp.so.1.0.5, copy it in /usr/lib/sane and:
$$ln -s libsane-umax_pp.so.1.0.5 libsane-umax_pp.so.1

It WORKS

2002-03-22 Thread OS

Hello,

I came accross the following problem doing an "Update" intstall of 8.2 :

Install had reached the "Load Bootloader" phase. 
I was asked where to put the boot loader and I selected MBR.
A dialog appeared stating installation of the boot loader had failed due to a 
syntax "on or after line 28" in lilo.conf.

(Running "lilo -v" on the same file produces no error output and correctly 
ammends the boot stuff)

I was then offered a dialog offering me "Modify", "Add" and "Done". On 
selection of "Done" the dialog informing me that the installation of the boot 
loader had failed due to a syntax "on or after line 28" in lilo.conf 
reappeared and I was sent back to the dialog asking me where to put the boot 
loader (MBR or 1st Sector). 

And that was as far as the update could go ! I could basically only go around 
the same loop.

No available option would either allow me to skip this step (understandable 
?) or to edit the contents of lilo.conf (as I was doing an Update maybe this 
would be acceptable ?)

Using the buttons down the left hand side and using F11 to effectively do an 
ntsysv I was basically able to complete a lot of the Upgrade, but I kept 
being taken back to the dialog asking me where to put the boot loader. All I 
could do was  and reboot.

Since I don't know what is wrong with lilo.conf it is a bit tricky to fix, 
but then if it is okay for "lilo -v" what is upsetting the installer ?

Here is some more information about my environment

1. LM PC is on LAN. Firewall PC has ADSL pppoe connection.
2. Firewall is FreeSCO 0.27 with pppoe. (This is Roaring Penguin pppoe and requires all PC's behind it to have MTU set to 1492.)
3. I am doing a CD install, choosing upgrade. 
4. At the end of the install/upgrade process "Install system updates". This hangs.

do you have /tmp mounted as tmpfs?  i ran into a problem with this a
while ago, it might be the same thing.
from a quick check of the script, you can pass '--tmpdir' in and use
that.  try using /var/tmp instead if thats what is causing your
problems.

[Cooker] Running current cooker

2002-03-22 Thread Charles A Edwards

On test machine had previously updated dev and MAKEDEV as well as kernel rpms.
Used urpmi nodeps to update all other pkgs to current, that is as current as Sunet. 

2 rpms did produce errors/unexpected messages during installation 

docbook-dtd31-sgml  ##
Failed to remove entry from /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.1.cat

gcc-doc ##
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.49052: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.49052: line 3: `; # FIXME: that semi-colon should not be needed, nor 
the blank line'
error: execution of %preun scriptlet from gcc-doc-2.96-0.76mdk failed, exit status 2

Remainder of pkgs installed without incidence. 

On reboot of system no problems were encountered, Nvidia drivers loaded and E started 
and runs as normal.
Apps still requiring librpm-3.0.3.so, such as rpmdrake, will not run but this was as 
expected.

Arch doesn't seem to make a difference.

Looks like a bad path or a bad gtk-doc. /usr/doc/libxslt isn't correct,
methinks.

[Cooker] 8.2 - cannot change Sawfish appearance

2002-03-22 Thread Kevin Krumwiede

Just installed 8.2, running Gnome with Sawfish theme.  I cannot change the appearance 
to any of the HeliX-Sweetpills.  They appear in the list but nothing happens when I 
select them and click OK.  It worked in beta 4.  Are these appearances in some RPM 
that I perhaps didn't install?




[Cooker] Todays impressions on 8.2 Try 2

2002-03-22 Thread Tech At Mathco Dot Com

ok i repost this e-mail since the first one didn't seem to reach the e-mail
list
---

I just tried to install the download version on a system containing the
following.

Microstar K7TTurbo2 Socket A Motherboard (Microstar)
Duron 1200 Mhz CPU
13 GB Western Digital Harddrive
48 X CDRom
128 MB PC-133.

Now to my conclution.

1.Installation too less then 20 Minutes. Then boot into KDE (from
pressing the powerswitch, bios detection
   Mandrake loader 7 second countdown till KDE is up and running fully
loaded. 1 Minute and 40 seconds.
   This is not bad at all.

2.After installation i plugged in a test USB to Ethernet adapter
manufactured by AMDtek,
   ran the "connect to the internet" program, The program found the USB
to Ethernet adapter
   and configured it to work correctly. I really did doubt it would
work. But it does. Great work.

3.Openoffice is still alittle slow to open, 35-40 seconds first time
(since it has to load the configuration software),
   15-17 seconds after that (after a cold boot). But i guess i can't
complain, its still awhole lot faster then on my
   old k62-300.

4.Sound works out of the box. Great.

So far i'm impressed.

Keep up the good work.

I see.  Is this a known issue with the gtk developers?  Are they aware
of the conflict?  Have they just put it on the back burner for now?

That must've changed since 1.3.1[3-5] then, because I have a box here
which I have successfully built a gtk app and run it on the
framebuffer.

Hi cooker,

Using openoffice package from disc3 (Mandrake 8.2 download edition), I 
cannot input Czech characters like ěščřžýáíé from keyboard.
It also seems to have some problems with Czech fonts.

When I use a downloaded OpenOffice 641c instead, everything in this

They REALLY cann't coexist for now. Try compiling both x11 target and
linux-fb target seperately, and compare their gtk+-2.0.pc and gdk-2.0.pc.

For gtk+ 1.3.1x package, the x11 copy of gtk+-2.0.pc overwrites the one
from linux-fb target, that means any program linked against gtk+ would
be unconditionally linked against libX11 as well.

Abel

PS Actually, x11 is still the only 'blessed' target in gtk+ 2.0.0. You
can't even compile the linux-fb target from vanilla source.

I can also confirm that if I  # anything in fstab, I would occassionally find

Yes, it's *very* unstable; it crashes from time to time in my box.
Don't have time to trace it; hope future relase can be more stable.
But somehow all crashes are related to people sending me message.

Choose English as your system language and then press the checkbox
in the same screen. From there you can pick up Finnish and continue
with the installation. If I remember it right the next screen should
ask you which keyboard do you have.

Err.. Quite a harsh comparision, but as the translator of DrakX I have 
to agree. The translations by themselves are not _so_ bad, but because 
there are a lot of untranslated strings and because they have just been 
written in the editor string by string as fast as possible without ever 
actually testing them or reading them again.. Ok, you got the point. 
Even I haven't been using the Finnish translations, because of they
were not ready for the daily usage.

What comes to translating this kind of projects it takes really long
time for one or two people to translate even the Mandrake's own 
applications. By this far I have used over 100 hours of my time just
to make rough translations for the few applications which come from
MandrakeSoft only. Correcting the translations takes about the same
time, so if I don't get any help, the next version won't probably
have usable translations either. 

> after the install you run the risk of being faced with a

By your statements I suppose that you would use English anyway,
were the translations perfect Finnish or not. I would also, because
the official Finnish computer terminology sounds odd when you first
hear it. But then, someone has to test the translations..

[Cooker] 8.2 - gnome-print-0.35-2mdk is missing a file

Greetings,

Having just upgraded from 8.1 to 8.2 I ran "rpm --verify" to validate my

Here's the output from rpm installation and verification:

You could check if you have hardware 3D:
glxinfo |grep direct
It should be set to Yes.

If it is set to No...
With XFree86-4.2.0-1mdk there was a problem with agpgart.
It was loaded after the radeon module, while it should have been loaded before.
Using rmmod and insmod in the correct order, and restarting X brought back 3D.
But I wonder if that is the same problem. So if this doesn't help, I dunno.
Maybe the XFree86 rpm maintainer?

Mandrake (and probably most other software companies) can not afford to
employ people to answer everyone's questions. If you want someone to
listen to everything you say, go see a shrink.

Cooker is a busy list. If you have a specific question (which is not
off-topic or a help request) or a bug-report, it helps to cc the
maintainer. Use rpmmon or rpm -q --changelog to see who that might be.

Remember that if everyone is answering email, who's doing the development?
I don't think, however, that you can call Mandrake inattentive. I guess
you have all had email from developers at Microsoft, SUN, Redhat, SuSE
when asking trivial questions? There are certain individuals at Mandrake
who put in a terrific amount of effort in answering user questions (on
the newbie and experts lists and on Mandrakeforum).

Cooker binutils has already be changed, glibc to 2.2.5 too, so using
current cooker packages OVER 8.2 probably could give further weird results.
IMHO better to recompile those package .src.rpm under plain 8.2 and see
if they'll giving the same problems in the case it's that you want to

attentive company out there . . . even though they have a strong
community of enthusiastic and caring users - sometimes the calls for
alarm fall on deaf ears.  It's a shame.

I posted some bugs during the beta/rc period of 8.2. Regarding those bugs 
which I was the only one who committed - okay, not many, perhaps only one or 
two - I got no response at all. I had to wait for a new package each day,

StarOffice 6 final will be available in PowerPack and Prosuite without any 
additionnal costs. This is the full version in 5 languages.
In the next days, you should hear about another way to get StarOffice from 
Mandrake (final and full version). Wait & see Mandrake's PR.
Of course, I won't (and nobody will at Mandrake) answer any questions 
regarding the agreement with SUN to distribute it or comments rumors like "Is 
SUN buying Mandrake" ? Perhaps it is true, perhaps it is wrong ? :-)

Oh, yes. Only yesterday I saw it fail for a G400/Nokia 447Pro combo, which
rendered too large fonts (stretched bitmaps *shudder*) in KDM/KDE.

And I've seen several cases where DrakX and XFdrake only offer 640x480 and
800x600 for modern (<3 years) hardware. I've written about that before.

Ironically, the best results we've had have been with our computers that
use a BNC connection, because that forces DrakX and XFdrake to skip DDC.

How do other OSs deal with failing DDC? Is there a chance to detect when
DDC is failing and prompt the user as a fall-back?

[Cooker] Themes for gtk2

Hi.

Now that gtk2 is relased and integrated, is anybody aware of any
themes for it ? I just could try adapting Crux, but would like
something to 'cheat'...especially the engine part.

It would be nice to have the same appearance for gtk1 and gtk2
(with its diffs, of course...)

The check is not needed for MAKEDEV. Long ago MAKEDEV binary lives in
/sbin and only symlink is made from /dev/MAKEDEV for compatibility.

Yes. You can

mount --bind /dev /lib/dev-mirror

and then /dev contents ill be available as /lib/dev-mirror even if /dev
has been mounted over. Then dev rpm could check and relocate /dev
contents.

devfs readme even suggest to use /dev directly for keeping changes while
running with devfs; in our case it would be

mount --bind /dev /lib/dev-state

and then any change made will be available even if you boot without
devfs.

That needs some change in our initrd/initscripts, specifically it does
not work if devfs is mounted by kernel. One implementation has been
suggested by IBM and posted here a while ago.

Robust implemenation should also work in case user does boot with
devfs=mount :-)

I am not sure what you mean. devfs is not started but mounted and

After the packages are installed, you can ctrl+alt+f2, chroot
/wherever/8.2/is/mounted (see output of "mount") /bin/bash -login (gives you
bash shell) then run whatever your favorite editor is, depending on what you

[Cooker] newest mod_quickcam.o

2002-03-22 Thread Marc Lijour

Hi,

mod_quickcam does not work with my Quickcam Express because the chip is a 
STV0602-AA instead of STV0600 (the chip the official Mandrake 8.2 
-2.4.18-6mdk- mod_quickcam is written for).

1)Everything is in this mail. You can set up that manually like this:

--
Salvador Arroyo Fdez  Dexxa STV602 patch
dexxa webcam STV0602-AA Agilent QDCS 1005 ID: 870
from cvs module hdcs.c
function hdcs_init change:
line 96: STV_ISO_SIZE, 0x034f to STV_ISO_SIZE, 0x0284
line 115: HDCS_INTEGRATE, 0x9 to HDCS_INTEGRATE, 0x7e
add about line 138:
if (usb_quickcam_set1(dev, 0x1446, 0x01) < 0) goto error;
compile an then run as per normal
./quickcam.sh
xawtv -c /dev/video0 -geometry 320x240
STV602 sensor patch submitted by Salvador requires testing
Using  the cvs version which can be dowloaded from the online
cvs
without checking in all components
have to be dowloaded
 ---

2) or you can sync with the CVS doing:

Anonymous CVS Access
This project's SourceForge CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous
(pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish
to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted
for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key.

$cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qce-ga login
 
$cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qce-ga co 
quickcam

Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.
(from sourceforge)

Then,
$make
$./quickcam.sh

The module is loaded (insmoded) along with the necessary videodev and this 
time /dev/video* is created (not as before with the 2.4.18-6mdk mod_quickcam).

Enjoy :P

Download the software and use a hard disk install or burn CDs.  Network 
installs will be hanging anyway for a long time because mirrors are so busy.

There is no way to override the MTU for the network install from the 
install side.  This is the first time we have encountered a firewall 
like that, but great thanks for the analysis.  Good Job!
