Are you using AGP? I had to use 1x (instead of 2x or 4x)AGP otherwise my 
box would look at the kdm screen. This did not happen previously. Putting 
agp to 1x didn't affect performance much anyway.

[Cooker] [Mandrake Bizcases] Your Help Wanted!

[Guillaume Cottenceau]

Since MandrakeSoft first launched the "Business Survey" several
months ago, we've received hundreds of great responses and
testimonials. Over 500 companies from 53 countries throughout the
globe have answered, and almost 300 stories have been published
at www.MandrakeBizcases.com. The companies that use Mandrake
Linux range from one-person startups to global enterprises. Each
day these companies prove to the world that Mandrake Linux is a
more powerful and flexible alternative to much higher-cost
solutions from Microsoft.

Check out the statistics here!

http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2024

We still need additional data for the Business Survey, so if you
have a new story to tell us, or an update to a previously posted
bizcase, please let us know. Send your story to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the words "Bizcases: [COMPANY
NAME]" in the subject line, then a short description of how
Mandrake Linux is being used in the body of your message.

Thanks!

No no no no !!!
When I build package for a mdk version use it on good version.
So DON'T INSTALL 8.2 package on cooker 

Perhaps you don't know but cooker is DIFFERENT from 8.2 !

Re: [Cooker] PCMCIA Netcard works! Partitioning is still ugly tho...

[Plug Head]

Pixel,

> extended partitions.

They looked like primary partitions, but I'm probably wrong (didn't realize 
that it made a difference, at the time.)  In the meantime, I've discovered 
that my external usb hd (which has some Very Funky partitioning) was at least 
part of the problem.  Would it be possible (and useful) to give diskdrake the 
ability to ignore disks who's partitioning it doesn't understand (assuming 
multiple drives and warning the user)?

Basically, to get MDK installed, I had to scrub hda, and disconnected hdb and 
the usb drive.  Following the advice of a helpful fellow on IRC, (per 
Murray's advice ;-) I created an empty extended partition.  This seems to 
have worked well.  I have no idea how diskdrake handles the situation of 
existing primary + existing extended + free space, but I'd suggest that it 
should not create partitioning that it can't handle on a re-install.  (Of 
course you could argue that people, like me, who mangle their disks with 
things like Partition Magic deserve what they get...)

Still haven't checked to see if windows will boot... :)

I'm pretty sure (from memory) the message was actually "ask_before_blanking". 
 It just kept popping up, every time I clicked OK.

> the partition tables would help too.

The partitioning that caused this is gone, at least from hda.  I'll try the 
install again and see if it chokes with hdb plugged in.  If so, I'll post it 
and anything from console 3.  If you're interested in the notebook's 
partitions (the one that was reported as 30+gig, when it's only 20gig) they 
are still intact and I can post them as well.  (It and the CD's are at work 
or I'd do it now...)

I thought this problem was resolved in later releases of the XFS driver
(>2.4.13 kernel versions).  I saw a noticable diff in stability with the
later kernel releases.

Although, I haven't been performing unclean shutdowns here to test the
idea, but in earlier kernel versions, this was a real annoyance since I
would find allot of my user config files completely wiped :-(

I've yet to see this problem persist in later kernel versions, although,
every now and then, i might come across an improperly formated config
file starting with , but moving further down in the file reveals the
config settings. I don't know if this is really XFS related or vim
related for sure.

if you atleast do a alt+SysReq+S before a unclean shutdown, you should
be safe!  this is the route of the problem/bug here. basically, the XFS
mailling list has more indepth detail about the sync bit

[Cooker] Evolution builds from SRPM

[Roger]

(ok. this one is really getting to me.)

Everytime i try to build evolution (any version), When i execute the
fresh build, it only displays question marks on the boot splash screen
of evolution (missing pngs or something?)

And then the Contacts part would crash. 

Other then this, evolution is ok.

I *know* i'm missing a dependency somehow!  the evolution.spec is
probabely failing to check for all the required deps or something.

This has been going on for sometime now with my rpm --rebuild --clean
evolution*mdk.src.rpm.  My next step is to checkout ximian's ftp to
verify that i have all the required deps (-devel's, etc) installed.

[Cooker] Printing via samba with Brother HL-1240 driver.

[Roger]

Setup:
Server - with HL-1240 Laser Printer connected to it running Mandrake8.2
Client - with winxp using samba to print via the Server listed above.

Took me a while, but after some agrivating trouble-shooting, i found out
that samba would only print using the default windows xp printer driver
for the Brother HL-1240 laser printer.(the default driver only allows
300dpi)

Trying to use the HL-1240 printer driver provided by Brother (allows
600dpi) will result in an error such as "There was a problem printing,
would you like to use windows help to diagnose your problem?" (me
mutters h*ck no here).

Some may wonder, "why 600dpi when linux can only print with this printer
using 300dpi?"  Well, I believe that this printer can do 600dpi
ghostscript and only 300dpi graphics. Even then, it should be printing
in raw mode so that the printer will use the client side driver instead
of the linux server driver (?).  (-o raw is set)

This one is probabely for the samba mailling list...so if somebody could
forward, would be great!

By recompiled, I guess you installed the NVidia drivers from tarballs.  I 
have found that, with the latest kernels, if you've used the kernel 
driver on another kernel, you can only compile the kernel driver 
sucessfully if you delete it (all the *.d and *.o files) and untar the

[Cooker] 2.4.18-8mdk Nvidia 2802 failure

[Nelson Bartley]

Hi.

I downloaded 2.4.18-8mdk kernel and source, installed them, downloaded
latest NVIDIA GLX and kernel drivers (in Src), recompilled nvidia GLX
and kernel drivers, installed the rpms, modified my XF86Config-4 to:
Load "glx"
and the driver from "nv" to "nvidia", just as I've done for many kernels
before, and I was completely unsucessful. When the computer boots (or
when X is restarted) the computer will lock solid, and no errors message
is dumped out to the XF log, nor the kernel log.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems with the most recent nvidia
and kernel?

[Cooker] Evolution 1.0.3-1mdk dependencies?

[Nelson Bartley]

Heyo,

I've just downloaded the evolution 1.0.3-1mdk and evolution-pilot (same
ver.) from ftp.sunet.se

Now, when I attempted to install them  I was told the following packages
must also be upgraded:

galeon
gdk-pixbuf-loaders
gtkhtml
libgdk-pixbuf-gnomecanvas
libgdk-pixbuf-xlib2
libgdk-pixbuf2
libnspr4
libnss3
mozilla
mozilla-irc
mozilla-mail
nautilus
nautilus-mozilla

Now it seems to me a little wierd that ALL of these things must be
updated for EVOLUTION to be updated?

If they do need to be done then so be it, but could this maybe be a bug?

[Cooker] 8.2 install, incorrect X settings, gnome crash

[Nick Murtagh]

Hi all

Just installed 8.2, a few problems came up.

1) I set my color depth to 32bpp during the install - when I rebooted the 
display was set to 8bpp. Not a big problem really.

2) Does 8.2 contain the NVIDIA drivers? If so, it didn't configure them for 
my card (TNT2 Ultra).

3) Round 1: Running Gnome 1.4, went into the background changing part of the 
control center, selected "use a picture" or whatever, clicked the "Browse" 
button... the cursor got really jerky, and eventually the whole system locked 
up... had to power down.

Round 2: Rebooted, tried the same thing again, cursor started to get jerky,
eventually an empty window appeared, with "Backgrounds" or something similar
as the title, then a gnome crash dialog came up, saying that "panel" had 
segfaulted... clicking ok restarted the panel which segfaulted again... and
again... until I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. At which point X tried to restart, 
failed, and eventually the system went back to initlevel 3 :(

So... is gnome 1.4 meant to be stable, or is this development stuff? I 
thought 2.0 was the development branch. I think I'll be sticking with 8.1 for 
the time being anyway...

I should have mentioned I read the thread. We have had problems on
machines that shutdown cleanly Files end up with null's in them
instead of data. I can reproduce the error on basically any of our
machines (around 20 Dell machines with onboard scsi). The problem never
comes up with other FS's. (well, at least ext2) On very heavily loaded
machines we've had entire directories disappear. Running any of the xfs
tools does not restore missing directories or fix files that are full of
null characters.

If anyone would like instructions on how we trigger the problem about
30% of the time (for null characters), I can give detailed instructions
and some scripts. It would be nice to have this resolved. We've had to
switch back to ext2 since the problems were discovered.

[Cooker] Konqueror can't display GIFs, other KDE image problems

[Richard Garand]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Since I installed Mandrake 8.2 two days ago (and then stayed up many hours
playing frozen-bubble :), konqueror has been unable to display .gif images, 
and my desktop background images don't display. I tried using konqueror and 
setting a desktop background image as root and a new user, and neither 
problem caused any trouble, so something must be wrong in my ~. I
moved .kde and .kderc, but even though everything else is reset it still
doesn't work.

I don't use any other KDE apps that display images (other than icons), but I 
suspect there's some problem with that. If the problem isn't in .kde, where 
else would it be? I know I could solve the problem by deleting my home 
directory, but...

You are right Ralf.  Thankyou.  I do use KDE and kicker is at the bottom

Yes like I stated erlier msec completely changes all the permisions on all of 
djb software which make it imposible for the software to run. It is so bad 
that the only real solution is to uninstall and reinstall it all. I can't 
remember specificly but at the tme of mandrake 8.0 pure-ftpd had this same 
problem. It may however be fixed by now as pure is included in contribs at 
least.

It whould be nice to have a working qmail setup after a clean install. And at 
least in my case I don't really want to uninstall msec as I enjoy the added 
secutity that it gives me.

[Cooker] Enlightenment in current cooker

[Charles A Edwards]

Running current cooker and enlightenment when changing the theme or choosing restart 
enlightenment you get the spinning hand  clock face as is normal but it thinks it is 
the 'energizer bunny' and keeps going and going and going.
Alt-Ctrl-Backspace is required.
On login the newly selected theme has been applied and of course enlightenment has 
been restarted.

The problem surfaced within the past week so I assume it is an aftereffect of a 
recently applied cooker update.

[Cooker] [new SRPM] tightvnc-1.2.3

[Han]

Hi,

Since I also follow the OpenBSD packagemanagement quite closely I
noticed they switched to tightvnc.

I looked at the package and it looks convincing and I build an rpm based
on the vnc-spec and on some other rpms.


I get the following errors from rpmlint:

  W: tightvnc-server no-default-runlevel
  The default runlevel isn't specified in the initscript.

What to do?

  W: tightvnc-server incoherent-init-script-name vncserver
  The init script name should be the same as the package name in
  lower case.

It is my intend to build a replacing package.


This package is a for testing. To get a very short build time I didn't
build the most important package so if you really want to test it remove
all "###" from the spec-file.

Before I go any further I would like to hear your opinion.



Groetjes, Han.

[Cooker] After an upgrade

[Stéphane Teletchéa]

Being unabled to boot on my computer, il decided to upgrade manually via 
rpmdrake.
i had to proceed carefully, but except for nvidia (mknod needed), everything 
went smooth).
But when i boot, i have these messages (again and again) :
1 - changing / to /dev/root in fstab ...
Nothing is made in fstab

2 - creating /dev/ttyxx (until z5 or something similar ... very huge)
changing permissions /dev/ttyxx to /smthing/root.tty

It is not really clear, but after that, linuxconf pops and asks me what to do.

If, from the beginning, it touch nothing, everything goes to the boot, so it 
is really a minor features, but i would like to know why this happens.

Last, supermount doesn't work, although i did a supermount -i enable, so 
/etc/fstab is modified :
/mnt/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  supermount  
fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom,ro,nosuid,noauto,nodev,exec 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount  
fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0,nosuid,noauto,nodev,unhide 0 0

but no supermount module is loaded.
(although present).

May be those two are related, and linked to devfs ...

I am using the kernel bundled with 8.2.

The best behaviour I could think of from msec is that it would at least stay 
away from changing uid/gid and dir/file attributes at will.

If I make a directory "/var/log/qmail" that is controlled by a software not 
yet included in Mandrake, msec fucks this up by changing uid/dir + file/dir 
permissions (in this particular case the DJB software stops working). This 
pisses me off..., it's almost like a M$ phenomenon, "stupidifying" the

[Cooker] Promise SX6000 Drivers

[Josh Sharp]

Second posting (not sure if first one went through correctly)

Ok, I REALLY need some help here.  I cannot seem to get the source code for 
the driver to compile correctly (or be inserted properly).  I figure this 
might be a good forum for this as it may be of interest to some here to 
also see this device working under mandrake 8.2.  

Some background:
  Promise Inc. only releases binary drivers for Redhat, SuSE, and 
OpenLinux, >but they have released the source via GPL for the Supertrak 
SX6000 IDE RAID Card.  I have tried to compile it to no avail.  It seems to 
compile with some minor warnings but will not let me insert it into the 
kernel with insmod.  I get the following:

What am I missing here?

Also, how does one signify in the code that it is GPL as the source says 
that it is in commens?

I will attach a tarball: This is the source files with my modifications of 
the make file.

Any help would be appriciated.

Hmm..., these involves "filesystem", "setup", "initscripts" and "msec". But 
since I now will drop msec, I don't have to modify these at all. I think 
"logcheck" and perhaps "tripwire" will pay more respect to the setup than 
msec does... :)

Don't get me wrong..., "msec" is really good at what it is supposed to do, 
but it's a living hell if you want something else like "multilog -t 
/var/log/qmail", "multilog -t /var/log/smtp", etc.

Yes I did this exact same thing arround mandrake 8.0. I.m getting readdy to 
do it again though. I even created an init.d script to change the pemisions 
back but msec still beat me to the punch. I really didn't think of just

not.

What kind of patches are you using? and whould you be able to share some of 
these?

I suspect it could come from mdk GUI tools actually.
Please see my mail "X freeze when launching drakconf under 8.2", and test if 
using mcc triggers the same problem...

[Cooker] printerdrake freezes (pdq, cups, dhcp, lpstat)

[Christophe Combelles]

printerdrake often runs lpstat to check the config :

If there is a problem with the network config or the cups config, lpstat 
never returns, and printerdrake never finishes to tell me to wait. So I 
must kill it, and I cannot configure any printer with it.

I've got the problem with the following procedure :

- fresh 8.2 install with a printer using PDQ
- configure the network with dhcp (cable modem)
- change the printer manager to CUPS

...hangs... : lpstat doesnt return.

I have run into this problem just by using mdk config tools, without 
manually editing any config file.

I had to disable the dhcp, configure a static IP, configure the printer, 
reconfigure the dhcp.

I think a GUI for a config tool should never be blocked by a single 
command launched in background, and should not suppose it will return in 
short delays.

Ok thanks!

I'm doing serious customizations replacing sendmail/postfix, xinetd, sysv 
scripts, bind, etc. with DJB stuff compiled statically against dietlibc. It 
seems much easier to skip msec than to keep up patching it ;)

Are you using kde and your kicker is not at the bottom (or top?). StarOffice 
(at least the beta) and openoffice segfaults for me too, if kicker is 
positioned on the left side (probably right too). Stupid bug, of which I read 
in ggg first, probably all openoffice developer use gnome...

it is not mandatory, but without it you won't access the security levels. The
default is more or less the normal level (level 2)

Aha thanks!

I haven't tried this much, but when installing using the most secure model 
the msec is used to fiddle with some files. So, you mean I _can_ make a iso 
without msec without any problems?

Thanks anyway.

It should not choke on multiple primary partitions, only multiple main

well, the exact error given by diskdrake would help (find it at install on
console 3)

the partition tables would help too.

the initrd is the thing that decides the filesystem to use. Maybe you're using
an older initrd? The decision of which filesystem to use for the root
filesystem is decided in mkinitrd.

fdisk is not able to handle the real size of the device, it is loosing a few
sectors, so don't trust it too much.

If you want a more valid non-diskdrake tool, try parted.

i don't know what you're talking about, but kickstart=cdrom doesn't work.

You can put the auto_inst.cfg in Mandrake/base in the cdrom and use
kickstart=Mandrake/base/auto_inst.cfg
