[Cooker] Customize list of allowed services in level 4?

2002-04-19 Thread Borsenkow Andrej

I do not see how to (easily) do it. /etc/security/msec/server.4 is owned
by msec and can thus be overwritten on update.

Server.{4,5} should be in /var/lib/msec with the possibility to override
them in /etc/security/msec just like with security.conf. I presume that
logic in create_server_link should be

lf /etc/security/msec/server.LEVEL exists
  link /etc/security/msec/server to it
llse
  link /etc/security/msec/server to /var/lib/msec/server.LEVEL

this allows users to override services selection.

Re: [Cooker] Sound card problem with mandrake-8.2

2002-04-19 Thread Jaimon Jose

This problem is solved with 'modprob'ing sound.  Thanks to Pierre Fortin for
suggesting that.

I have the same problem with another machine as i mentioned in the previous
mail. This is a Duron system with onboard SiS controller.  I get trident
driver while configuring.  Everything plays well( xmms, realplayer, alsaplay
etc. ) but no sound.  I tried removing alsa and loading trident driver
alone.  But it didn't help.  When I recompile the kernel along with trident
driver as part of kernel (instead of module), i get sound properly.  So, I'm
expecting some kind of conflict with modules.  Is it alsa?

Please find attached log files for more information.

Thanks,

the problem will only exists if you upgrade from the release where i

then when you want to upgrade, the old package is still not removed,

so the /usr/share/vim/lang/sk link to /usr/share/locale/sk symlink of

remove vim-common before updating, this'll fix the problem.

[Cooker] Serious imlib bug in some 1.9.x versions

2002-04-19 Thread Guy.Bormann

!!Sorry, template message ahead!!
-
Hello,

There is a potentially serious problem with (lib)imlib for versions up to
and including 1.9.13 that crept in probably around 1.9.9 or 1.9.10
(haven't checked but it was probably first introduced between image loader
module support and the disabling of helper image loader processes). I am not
familiar with the maintenance organisation of imlib so this message is
posted to the major Linux bleeding-edge distros (I checked RedHat RawHide1.0
imlib-1.9.13-3.7 source). I couldn´t query the Bugs DB, so I apologize if
it is already known (it is, it is fixed in 1.9.14, and probably all SuSe
releases).
  I include a simple fix, not a patch since version 1.9.14 (ximian
release) has a complete cleanup of the helper process support and
recognized the problem. (It is a silent fix (i.e. no ChangeLog entry)
since it exposes big mouthing by the author/maintainer about this is
2002... ;-) (Bugzilla hates me, not able to check bug#'s.)

Symptoms: on my system (Mandrake 8.0 with major 8.2 Cooker upgrades):
  anjuta complains after a while about too many open files for a single
source and doc file project.
(same thing could have happened to my RedHat 7.1 home system but I didn't
upgrade yet (==pacifier for distro-cross posting :-P )
Diagnostics:
  lsof shows that it is constantly reopening theme image files without
closing them, pointing toward the gtk libpixmap (I use DarkMarble ;-)
theme engine (or any other engine using libgdk_image) and thus
pointing to libgdk_imlib
  due to this, I also checked other gtk apps : gnomecc, gimp, gedit, ...
showed the same behaviour
Why did only anjuta get sick?
  It has a new feature (as of v1.8) : whenever a open doc in the editor
changes due to C/P or typing, the color of the notebook widget page
label changes.
  Anjuta does this by setting a theme color rc and issueing a gtk_rc_style
reload.
(Mmm, that's weird, I have imlib caching enabled which should generate
hits for every gtk-widget opened or gtk_rc_style reloaded, inter-appl.-wide,
instead it reopens files...Ok, that's something else for the imlib
maintainers...)  Other apps. only happen to create widgets (and thus gtk
theme loads) once in a while (you need to open between 20-30 widgets to
hit a limit of 1024 for an average theme).

Prognosis: Ok, but potentially dangerous (imagine minor scattered changes
to 10 source files in anjuta before the autosaver kicking in (and changing
the label) when you only have 10 fd's left).

Treatment : either fix Cooker imlib-1.9.13-1mdk sources at around line 305
of gdk_image/load.c (i.e. the unconditional #if 0 should only exclude
the else {...} clause of the if (!need_conv || !data) {} to allow file
closing for non-EIM format files) or kick Cooker up to 1.9.14 of imlib.

Sorry for this hefty mail, but this way people can recognize the bug as it
is only apparent in gtk apps. with heavy image loading such as anjuta or
thumb nailers/animators.

Guy Bormann

SuSe imlib's don't seem affected (checked 1.9.9-100 and 1.9.10-1)
Checking Debian as of now...

RE: [Cooker] Epox 8KHA+ and sound (again)

2002-04-19 Thread Borsenkow Andrej


 I have an Epox 8KHA+ motherboard and I got sound working.  I'm not at
 the pc now, so I can't look at the config, but there was an article on
 MandrakeForum on getting it to work which worked for me:
 

http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=1491mode=threadorder=0th
old=
 0
 
 Check it out.  It may fix your problems too...
 

the only real thing in this article is mixer settings. ALSA is known to
start by default with sound muted on all channels.

The rest is not needed (on clean Mandrake installation). Both alsa/sound
are on by default and this ridiculously long module list is not needed
as well (unless they managed to break it in 0.9 that I hope not
happened). You just need alias snd-card-0 ... and that's all.

Note that the article is for old version, quite possible module does not
work in current kernel.

[Cooker] supermount +writing

2002-04-19 Thread Danny Tholen


I do not often use floppy disks, so maybe that's why I never noticed, but both my two 
(completely different) 
8.2 machines freeze hard when copying a few files to a floppy (a few 100 kb). Even 
mouse freezes.
The same error also happens when mounting a vfat HD partition with supermount and 
copying a few MB to it.

I cannot test on cooker yet as that machine is currently rather broken at the moment.
But since I didn't see any updates on supermount in the cooker kernel I thought I let 
you know.

CDROM supermount seems to work ok, but it isn't writing anything ofcourse.

 Get mindi (there is Mandrake RPM in contrib.) and make bootable CD for

Re: [Cooker] Fresh cooker install - ReiserFS format broke

   i use reiserfs since 7.2. and change to xfs since 8.1.
   if ext3,reiserfs,xfs are all stable, than i think
   most people would choose xfs since it is the most feature rich
   file system.. (sorry,i know little about jfs)
   xfs is not very good with 8.1, and i m very happy it is stable
   now with 8.2.
   but i m sad that mandrake people think few people using xfs.
   if mdk think few people using xfs, there will be less effort put
   on it. so no mkbootdisk, no rescue cd.
   i hate being along. i want to use a popular filesystem.
   i hope xfs is a popular filesystem at least on mdk :)

 While XFS is the only FS that has ACL support in the Mandrake kernel,
 it will be used a lot by people running samba with win2k/winnt

The other issue, which I will become pertinent as soon as we get our
tape drive off a windows box, is that (correct me if I'm wrong)
apparently XFS is the only FS that has a working dump in xfsdump.
xfsdump also apparently can be used with amanda.

But I not amanda is not in the distro (although it is in Redhat). Why
not? Don't we also need to do backups, or do the rest here running
biggish networks rely on tar/mondo/custom script/commercial software?

Re: [Cooker] Epox 8KHA+ and sound (again)

2002-04-19 Thread Chevalley, Scott

It did not work for me, but I'm not sure what was the original cause. 
 At some point between the 8.2 beta's and the final release I upgraded 
my hardware, so it could be that I installed 8.2 with a soundblaster 
live and then swapped the hardware to the epox board.  

Also, I did make a custom kernel, but it has the Alsa stuff patched in 
as well.  None of the sound card stuff was set up in the modules.conf 
file.  I also did not include some of the lines, like the snd-seq lines. 
 I'm not sure the sound-service lines are necessary, but I don't think 
they hurt anything.

Sound does work now, though...

[Cooker] Scanner problems with mandrake 8.2

2002-04-19 Thread Jaimon Jose

I use a Acer 3300U scanner and everything was fine with 8.2Beta 3.
Configuration detects the scanner and installs it.  With the released 8.2
also, configuration detects the scanner and installs.  devfs finds it
whenever I switch on the scanner and puts an icon on desktop.
sane-find-scanner reports the same.  But xsane fails to find the scanner.
I'm suspecting the usb driver shipped in released version.  Please find
attached logs from snapscan.conf and xsane.

PS: I use firmware  u222v067.bin (see log file).  The one shows in the conf
file is result of trying out with different firmwares.

Thanks,

[Cooker] new alsa and old /etc/asound.conf

2002-04-19 Thread Michael Reinsch

Hi!

There is a problem with new alsa 0.9 and an old /etc/asound.conf. This 
file was created with alsactl (which is btw now missing in new 
alsa-utils?) for alsa 0.5. If this file is present, but the kernel uses 
alsa 0.9, you cannot use e.g. alsamixer or aconnect from alsa-utils. They 
will give you strange error messages. Removing the old /etc/asound.conf 
seems to solve these problems.

[Cooker] problem with webmin-0.960-1mdk.noarch.rpm

2002-04-19 Thread David Relson

Greetings,

When I try to install webmin-0.960-1mdk, it complains that msec needs to be 
run.  As you can see below, this complaint occurs even when msec is run 
immediately before trying to install webmin.  I think the rpm script has a 
problem ...

 But we can't be sure using new GTK input libs (libferret and libgail)

 Actually very likely to break (I have tried it before).
 
 Sounds like this boils down to packaging question: should non-versioned

 it out?

Good question but I don't have an answer :)

[Cooker] Re: Fwd: problem with webmin-0.960-1mdk.noarch.rpm

2002-04-19 Thread David Relson

Never mind.  I figured out what the problem was.

Using rpm -q --scripts webmin I found that SECURE_LEVEL needed to be 
set.  I found that this was referred to in /etc/profile.d/msec.sh.rpmnew.

Evidentally my installation of msec didn't quite succeed due to an already 
existing zero length copy of /etc/profile.d/msec.sh. This prevented 
/etc/sysconfig/msec being run, so SECURE_LEVEL didn't get set, so the 
postinstall script complained.  mv -f msec.sh.rpmnew msec.sh fixed the 
problem.

Try it from a hotmail account you haven't registered to recieve cooker.

 No msec doesn't change files/directories under /var, it only changes
 /var itself.
 
 That's very strange that msec breaks qmail as I remember Vincent has

I have had 0 problems with msec and qmail...  I run qmail on every
machine here (except the PPC machines, just because I haven't gotten
around to them yet).

On my workstation, my wife's workstation, and my laptop, all using
qmail, I've never had qmail break due to msec being run (always on
medium level), and I've not had to tweak any permission issues to tell
msec to behave.

Fred, as an aside, does msec support includes in the local files?
Ie. is there a way we could include a config file within level.local
or perms.local somehow?

For some wierd software, like qmail and djbdns, possibly others, it
might be nice if we could have %post add a include qmail.msec or
something to the file, and have qmail.msec contain some special
permissions for files.

But, again, I've not experienced anything like this personally.

If someone likes, I can investigate this further to determine if such
a problem does exist.  The big questions to ask are:

1) Are you using my qmail rpms or building qmail from source?  Might
be some very small differences

2) What msec level are you using?

3) What errors are you getting?  Ie. what is msec changing (what it's
changing *from* and what it's changing *to*), and what (in qmail) is
now refusing to work?

  Not to continue a flamewar, but isn't postfix just as secure as qmail?
  Wietse Venema's no slouch in the security department.
 Ok. Here goes. It's not that postfix is insecure. It's great. 
 
 However; I prefer maildir's. When setting up virtual servers it makes it much 
 easier to enforce quotas. Allot of this is that I'm relly attached to 
 maildirs and don't want to give them up. I like the maildir format and the 
 way the mail is handled much better than the old way of doing.
 
 If you can give me a good mta that does maildirs and is reasonably fast I'll 
 look at it but for now the choices are limited. at least courier can be set 
 up to handle the pop and imap but for now I'm kind of attached to qmail for 
 smtp services.

Likewise.  qmail is secure, rock solid, stable, and extremely low
maintenance.  Also the simplest MTA I've ever had the pleasure of
configuring and maintaining.

That being said, both postfix and exim support Maildirs (not by
default, but they both do).

Out of the two, I prefer exim... I like how it's configured much more
than postfix... postfix tries to be too sendmail-ish for me.  I've
never liked postfix.  Having said that, exim has had more security
problems than postfix, and postfix has had more than qmail.  AFAIK,
postfix has had one security problem (maybe two... I'd have to
check).  qmail, on the other hand, has had none.  That gives me
confidence.  It's also (1.03) not in active development, unlike
postfix, which means that no new bugs due to new features, etc. can
crop up... that possibility is greater in postfix than qmail due to
postfix's active development.

That isn't to say qmail isn't in development.. djb is supposedly
working on qmail v2 but that's all closed development, with no ETA as
to when it will be publically available.

But that's a topic for another day... in the meantime, qmail does
everything I need, and does it well... I won't be changing anytime
soon.

 Others are always an option when and if they become available.

Yes, this would do it.  Take a look /usr/share/msec/perm.3, for

root.root(755)... level 2 uses root.adm(755).

The directories below /var/log, ie. /var/log/*/* are set to current
user with mode 640.  This is why /var/log/pop3d would cause problems
whereas /var/log/qmail/pop3d would not.

An exception could be (should be) made so that /var/log/qmail is set
to current perms instead of changing because root.root is still wrong
(should be qmaill.root).

 Where vdanen uses something like:
 
 exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t /var/log/qmail/pop3d
 exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t /var/log/qmail/qmqpd
 exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t /var/log/qmail
 exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd
 
 At the time my problems arose, either the dir perm, or the dir content perm 
 was forcly changed by msec. I can't recall exactly which one of these, it may 
 even be so that both was altered... I don't really care now since I have 
 started to use:
 
 exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t ./main

So you log to /var/run/supervise/qmail-pop3d/main?

 This way is msec safe :)

update to G4 install, please help

2002-04-19 Thread Colin Ward


 
 Having trouble installing 8.2 beta2.
 i have a G4 500 (sawtooth) with a 15in flat screen apple monitor. It has the defult 
ATI rage pro graphics card.(i also have a radion mac edition 32 but i want to keep 
this as simple as possilble). I've tried to do a graphical install but none of the 
options i pick seem to work. I've tried install-atyfb, aty128fb, infact i tried most 
of the options given (execpt 2.2 options). The screen just goes blank if i try any of 
above, the screen light also flashes as if in sleep. if i try the no video mode i 
actuly get to a blue screen after the cdrom has loaded, but thats it.
 I am now trying a text install, but i don't think theres a 15in apple monitor listed 
(1024x768), what would be the best to choose?. I will post result of this but any 
help would be very welcome.
 For your info i'm installing onto a 10gig partition on a 25GBHD, i have already 
installed OS9/X, they work fine.
 many thanks
 Colin


update


At text install there wasn't a listing of my monitor (apple 15in flat 
screen 1024x768, dpi 72x72). I didn't know what to pick so i tried a 
generic one. After install x didnt start and i was left with the choice 
to login to terminal. When trying startx i got a flicker and this

(EE) r128 (0): no DFPz
FBIOPUT_VSCRREENFO invalid argument


fatal server error

addserver/screenlink  x server

or something very close to that.
What can i try? i really need help with this

Re: mdk 8.0 language problem

Hi there.

Got a Power Mac 4400/200, trying to install MAndrake 8.0 and or 8.2
However I can´t get the åäö right (hm tricky for you maybe who
doesn´t use these normally...)
That´s right I live in sweden.
I have marked premier language in KDE but it doent´s help.
There´s no sound either.
I used kernel 2.2

Any clues out there.

I'm running Mdk-8.0 on a Motorola Starmax-180 (exactly the same machine).

For your åäö problem, is it a keymap problem ? You could try to get
the keymaps from Yellowdog and try them...
Is it in console ? in X ?
Maybe it's just a question of police ? Did you try with different
polices, choosen with the good ISO-8859-xx ?

Hi.
Well, I tried to write in the terminal (shell?) but it still without
åäö. So the problem is not only in the X, so far I can tell.

I was just wondering : does XFree-4.2 run well on your machine
(you're running  ATI Mach64VT for video, isn't it ?) ?
I tried Xfree4.0 on Mdk-8.0 and it crashed my machine.

Nope, I use the other kind, Xppc (or something like that) Xfree also
gave me problem.

You could run kernel 2.4 without any major problem (I experienced
some problem with the mouse and the new input layer, but a clean
install with kernel-2.4 let it be correctly detected). At least
2.4.4 from Mdk8.0.
With it, you can have an accelerated framebuffer which runs well in
16bit colors. And if you run Xpmac for video, it will be a little
smoothier (it's evident with Gnome : menus are displayed much faster)

I never succedeed in having 2.4.17 running : it crashed. I don't know why.

Any more clues? Could it have to do with the kernel I use? 2.2 19-?

Re: 8.2 won't start

2002-04-19 Thread Stew Benedict


 
 Yeah I have installed Pico now, but I don¹t know what to change in
 XF86Config-4 file, in YDL all I had to do was to specify the drivers. But
 Mandrake has already done that. The drivers are nv and it recognizes my
 card as a GeForce3. I think that I have to specify some monitor settings.
 
 But I don¹t know how to do that.. =( My preferred settings are 1280x1024 
 85Hz ( vertical:85hz and hor: 91.146khz) can I edit the XF86Config-4 file so
 that I get this resolution? Or do I do that in another file?
 

Same file.  Take a look at:

the modelines section, see if there is one for 1280x1024

then add entries down below, where you see:

  Subsection Display
Depth   8
Modes   1024x768 800x600 640x480
ViewPort0 0
EndSubsection

and add 1280x1024 before 1024x768

You can also use drakxconf

This still may not work, as YDL patches were released as source, I had to wait until 
the 2.2 release and borrow from their srpm

There are only listing for monitors folks have given me specs for.  Essentially I need 
resoultion and horz and vertical ranges.

You could try backing down to fbdev instead of r128 in /etcX11/Xf86Config-4, and see 
if that does anything for you.  I'm not familar with those messages above, but it 
almost looks like X is asking the display for capabilities and not liking the answer.

 The regular kernel just breezes on by the bad port errors and boots.  The

ide_cs missing

2002-04-19 Thread Ben Reser

The current kernel is missing the ide_cs module.
8.0 had it and it worked and I used it to get pictures of my Compact
Flash cards for my camera since Linux support for my camera stinks.
