what have you changed?

Be specific about what GAIM really is now.
ditto, see above.
- Changed description
Just towards the bottom of the description you can see that it's just
being more specific about what GAIM does utilize/support.
ditto.
- Added sub package applet (gaim_applet)
gaim_applet is the only way to go if you're GNOME user :) Not fair to
GNOME users to only have the option of using plain old gaim.
ditto.
can you send spec diff (preferably against the one in cooker)
Above and attached (also attached, my spec file.)
ok, got it, thanks.
- Use --disable-gnome --disable-artsc for compatibility reasons on
ok, but why?
Disable GNOME bits for KDE user compatibility reasons, disable artsc
bits simply because it's KDE centric, and the interoperability, so why
bloat gaim for GNOME users? And the same for KDE users? Though, it is
harmless to enable both of these, that's just MHO.
Let me check this one out.
no. It's useful but :/ is broke so I'm too lazy to fix this,and I removed
just that one but kept the smiley patch.
Hmmm yes, I was too lazy to even look at it :) Though I wasn't aware
that ':/' was the only thing broken, so revert that. Fix seems trivial,
but I don't have time to look at gtkihtml.c right now : P
in theory, you should be able to have a :/ once you make a little change
to the function (or maybe macro) which adds emoicons to the list of
emoicons, but in practice, the present function doesn't work for :/
So yeah, %configure is fine, I'm just anal, and like to use
%configure2_5x : )
I'm going to upload my 0.3mdk to /incoming now
Well you don't have to since you already have sent a spec diff (if you want

[Cooker] Kernel bugs
Having used 8.2 with the default kernel (I know...) for 6 days now I've stumbled on something.. After about 4 to 6 hours of use, I start getting more and more system load. After 1.5 days, my system load is up to 20-ish, and I can't get a root shell no more (!!). Console login doesn't happen inside 15 minutes... Has anyone else observed similar behavior? Let me point out, I'm not running any weird services or using any exotic applications/hardware. As far as I can figure (Without delving deeper into the matter, no thank you, I already do this for work!) it would seem like a problem with the kernel or modprobe. The hardware I'm using is a microstar MB with some VIA chipset, athlon 700. eepro100 for a nic, tnt1 (diamond viper 550) for display adapter. An old HP cd-rw using ide-scsi.o. Also, using the stock kernel nets me a kernel panic (!!) if I try to switch to another console early into bootup..

[Cooker] Re: Missing build req in Galeon

I think that means there is a missing libbonobo2-devel in the BuildRequires line of the spec file. This is probably missing from nautilus-devel or libeel-devel, I'll check that.. Just for info, Galeon does not like when I install the gnome2 libs (and deps). It just draws a blank square, that's why I tried to recompile it. It did not change anything, and galeon came back when I removed the new libs. Since that's a large number of packages, I don't exactly know which one breaks the browser. I just noticed everything else I tried was working fine. Now, you know why you are using cooker :)) First, I'll intend to finish uploading all GNOME 2 related stuff.

[Cooker] (RFC) Supermount 2
Fellow Linux Hackers. I am starting to plan a new version of Supermount. I have some thingsI want to try out in it, and I will list them in this message. I am willing to accept any and all input on what I am wanting to call Supermount 2. Planned features of Supermount 2: 1) Auto-detection of filesystem type. 2) Supermount modules for each filesystem type. 3) Built-in support for packet-writing. ( i.e. insert packet-writing formatted disk and it loads appropriate kernel modules. ) There may be other features added if there is an interest in them. I will need assistance with the packet-writing support. I am only planning to do this for the 2.5.x and later kernels, so if anyone else wishes to back-port it to an older kerenl series, by all means do so. I have wanted to make some kind of contribution to this project for some time and I feel that this is something that will be useful. I am going to be making my prelminary code available to whomever wishes to see it once I get my Linux box back up. Matthew D. Pitts

[Cooker] Printing with Canon S400
The update from 8.1 to Mandrake 8.2 screwed my printer. I have a Canon S400 working with CUPS and directly attached to my computer. The installation went fine in the previous 8.1 and I never had problems with it. Now in 8.2, the CUPS admin stuff works and recognize the printer. But when I ask for a test page it does not work. It seems that the (new?) driver multiplies the width by 2. Therefore I obtain the half left part of the document to be printed but with a deformation making it fit the whole page. I hope it's readable :)

SOLVED Re: [Cooker] GIMP + CUPS + HP OfficeJet problem
OK, my mistake, I had to set up the printer in GIMP again, not to PostScript2, but Deskjet 900 series. There was another problem, though - when printing photos (large images), the print file in queue got to around 3MB in size and the print job would hang indefinitely, the printer blinking printing and nothing happening for half an hour. No error messages in logs. Sifting from HPOJ project mailing list, I found that in /etc/modules.conf, switching from alias usb-interface usb-uhci to alias usb-interface uhci and rebooting solved the problem, now happily printing. Don't know what side effects this could have, though. Michal Michal Bukovjan wrote: Hi, I have a HP OfficeJet G55 attached via USB to my computer.

[Cooker] /usr/include/X11 symlink goes haywire
Lately I've noticed that when XFree86-devel is installed / deinstalled multiple times (that's what my rebuilding script does) a large number of symlinks are made in /usr/include: lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 20 Mar 21 14:18 /usr/include/X11;3c99ddb5 - ../X11R6/include/X11/ lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 20 Mar 21 15:15 /usr/include/X11;3c99eaea - ../X11R6/include/X11/ lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 20 Mar 21 15:22 /usr/include/X11;3c99ecaf - ../X11R6/include/X11/ lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 20 Mar 21 17:21 /usr/include/X11;3c9a0896 - ../X11R6/include/X11/ lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 20 Mar 21 17:29 /usr/include/X11;3c9a0a80 - ../X11R6/include/X11/ ... .. . there are 785 of these in my /usr/include directory now.

Got the answer: An su to root creates the environment variable $USERNAME=root. The value of $USER is not changed. Leaving the superuser state (exit or ^D) removes $USERNAME.

Meaning we will finally have CD-tracks visualized as WAV files? like CD-fs does? Same goes for multisession disks. 2) Supermount modules for each filesystem type. How is this on performance (first check for fs type than loading module? than disk is removed, unloading module and loading another one?) 3) Built-in support for packet-writing. ( i.e. insert packet-writing formatted disk and it loads appropriate kernel modules. ) There may be other features added if there is an interest in them. I will need assistance with the packet-writing support. I am only planning to do this for the 2.5.x and later kernels, so if anyone else wishes to back-port it to an older kerenl series, by all means do so. I have wanted to make some kind of contribution to this project for some time and I feel that this is something that will be useful. What about doing it in userspace?

It seems a number of GTK+ progs in 8.2 are compiled with a dependency on libxeno.so and complain when you start them (GAIM, Galeon, and others.) A quick search on Google reveals that libxeno.so is part of the Xenophilia GTK+ themes engine. Looking at the flat list in rpmdrake, neither Xenophilia nor libxeno seem to be included in the distro.

Re: [Cooker] interesting keyboard issue on Inspiron 8000...related to suspend/resume issue?
On Wednesday 20 March 2002 12:51 am, you wrote: This keyboard issue may be related to the problems I am having with suspend/resume. I have been having problems with my pageup/pagedn keys. They rarely work on my keyboard (but work fine if I plug in an external keyboard). Sounds like a hardware problem however, I took my laptop with me down to the coast and it has been working flawlessly for me here. The only difference is that I am running off of a pcmcia modem instead of pcmcia network card. Using a pcmcia network card also creates an instability in the system if I suspend/resume such that the system will crash/reboot (even if the suspend/resume happened at some time before the pcmcia network card is inserted.) It is possible that the trip down here dislodged whatever was causing the problem if it was hardware related, however I thought I would post it to see if anyone else with an Inspiron 8000 also noticed this. When I get back home this weekend, I will plug it back into the network and see if the pageup/pagedn keys still work. I am back and the pageup/pagedn keys still work, so this appears to have been a hardware problem.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 - -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It must be true, I emailed Sun about 3 months ago and suggested it. (-: So long as Sun let the Mandrakers stay semi-independent, it probably *would* be a good thing. Certainly Sun could help move Linux to higher end systems, and have a suitable replacement to offer as more and more people move away from Solaris. For Mandrake, it would mean they probably would have enough funds to go on for a long time, would finally get a working out-of-the-box Java setup for Konqi, and would have the opportunity to support highend boxen. Would that help or hinder the release of Mandrake 8.2 for Sparc? I ask because I may soon be faced with adminning some Sun Blades, and would rather admin Linux than Solaris, and am more familiar with Mandrake than Debian. Hmm... Debian isn't so bad if you can get past the installation.

Fred,
I've been looking into this one...
When webmin adds a user, the entry in /etc/shadow looks like:

Without devfs the actual hardware devices should be there, perhaps not the symlinks to cdrom or modem. While I had the TiBook, I should have looked more at the modem, I know it wasn't detected during the test installs here, but it may be the same case as the ibook2, a soft modem. The cdrom was setup fine here, with devfs. You can see if the kernel saw the CDROM with: dmesg | grep hdc (is it hdc on these machines?)

Specifically, when can we hope to be able to install successfully, and with the latest incarnation of the cooker either via ftp/http or via local mirror using wget or other mirroring tools?

Couldn't someone have told me that? :-) //ernie /dev/rdisk0 map block size=512 #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_Free Extra 0 0 2: Apple_partition_map Apple63 1 3: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh54 64 4: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh74 118 5: Apple_FWDriver Macintosh 200 192 6: Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 392 7:Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 904 8: Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 1600 1416 9: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 262144 3016 (128.0M) 10: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 / 3317420 265160 ( 1.6G) 11: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 /home 3317420 3582580 ( 1.6G) 12:Apple_HFS Install 10 690 ( 48.8M) 13:Apple_HFS MacOS 1193416 700 (582.7M) 14:Apple_HFS OSX 8192000 8193416 ( 3.9G) 15:Apple_HFS Namnl?s 3 32016384 16385416 ( 15.3G) 16:Apple_HFS Namnl?s 4 32016384 48401800 ( 15.3G) 17: Apple_Free Extra56 80418184 Didn't even notice that first partition the last time you posted. That is probably causing a problem, as the partition map is normally on partition 1. I'm not sure how to get rid of it, if pdisk or parted won't do it. Stew Benedict
