[Cooker] OpenOffice.org fonts screwed up when bold

[Curtis H]

OpenOffice.org-1.0-5mdk

I just noticed that when certain fonts in OpenOffice.org are capitalized
and bolded, their display onscreen is screwed up.  For example my name
"Curtis H" gets changed to "#urtis( "  My locale is  English(USA).

Some of the font's that I noticed this with:
Arial   (MS)
Arial Narrow  (MS)
Times New Roman
Tahoma
Courier New
Lucida Console
Verdana

Or better yet, compile it with the same version of gcc that was used to 
compile the kernel

[dmc@roc dmc]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.18-6mdk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 
2.96 2731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk)) #1 Fri Mar 15 02:59:08 
CET 2002

Then do something like

export CC=gcc-2.96

instead of the above.  Obviously you must install the gcc-2.96 
packages(rpms), which can happily live alongside whatever other versions 
of gcc/egcs you have installed.  Note, I haven't actually tried the 
above line, but either it, or something substantially similar will work 
for you, and I'm pretty sure it will be a much more robust solution than 
compiling the module with a different version of gcc than was used to 
compile your kernel.

[Cooker] urpmi manapage error ?

[Fabrice MARIE]

Hello,

at one point, urpmi(8) says :

"
--wget use wget only for downloading distant files.
  By default curl is used if available or wget instead.

--curl use curl only for downloading distant files.
  By default curl is used if available or wget instead.
"

However, I have both wget and curl installed, and it will use wget.

# rpm -q wget curl urpmi
wget-1.8.1-3mdk
curl-7.9.7-1mdk
urpmi-3.4-2mdk

Have i done something wrong ? or is it the manpage that needs to be modified ?

Thank you.

Have a nice day,

Fabrice.

i was aware that there was a arts support. it was already disabled when i did
the upgrade.. so..
btw , is this arts support trough a plugin ? because having gaim depends on
arts ie depends on libqt3 is really too much.

Oops, sorry, I replied too quickly and didnt notice the version difference, 
please ignore.

However, I'd bet gail-4.02-1mdk will require an up to date library, when
I could imagine a new library backward compatible with an old gail.

[Cooker] lyx install oddity

One of the following packages is needed:

 2- librpc23-1.13-1mdk.i586
What is your choice? (1-2)

Selecting 1 will install 2 anyway since it's a Requires and it will also
pull in liblwp2.

http://ranger.dnsalias.com usually has the most recent NVidia drivers.
I see that you have a link to 2960, but he only has 2802 at the moment.
Keep your eyes peeled at that site for a more recent version.

The current rpms are:

but now i cant compile the NVIDIA kernel driver cus the cooker 
kernel was compile with gcc3.1 AKAICT.

Would someone do me a big favour and save me 36.6ing gcc3.1,
and do a rpm --rebuild on the NVIDIA kernel src.rpm and send 
me the resulting RPM.

[Cooker] Mandrake RPM

[Elijah P Newren]

Hello,

My apologies if I'm sending this to the wrong place.  I wasn't sure
where this should go.  Please let me know whom I should be emailing
with these questions if this list is the wrong place.

I recently subscribed to the Cooker list, hoping to help out some.  I
read the mdk-rpm howto (as
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 suggested).  I've also 
read Maximum RPM recently.  My questions are in two categories--broken
links, and differences between Mandrake's version of RPM and the normal
(RedHat) version of RPM:

1. Broken Links--what are the correct links for the following:

  Page containing link:
 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/building.html
  Text with link  : "at FSF"
  Links to (broken)   : http://fsf.org/philosophy/license.html

  Page containing link:
 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/advanced.html  
  Text with link  :
 "ftp://ftp.mandrakesoft.com/pub/chmou/rpm-spec-mode-mdk.el";
  Links to (broken)   : 
 ftp://ftp.mandrakesoft.com/pub/chmou/rpm-spec-mode-mdk.el

2. Differences in (RedHat) RPM and Mandrake RPM?

  I found that Appendix B of the mdk-rpm howto 
  (http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/more-macros.html)
  specified some of the extensions of mdk-rpm, but there were other
  tags/macros referenced in the howto that weren't clearly identified
  as being standard RPM or a Mandrake extension (and I couldn't tell,
  since Maximum RPM is a little out of date).  Can anyone tell me?

  Most of the specific tags/macros that I was wondering about:
 License (vs. Copyright)
 %defattr
 %{_bindir}, %{_sbindir}, %{_datadir}, etc..
 %{_menudir}
 BuildRequires, BuildConflicts
 Epoch
 %config(noreplace), %config(ghost), %config(missingok)

  Also, if anyone knows (or knows where I can find) any other relevant
differences, I would appreciate it.  


Thanks in advance,
Elijah

Don't appologize.  This is cooker afterall.  I will just wait until I

Don't hold your breath too long because libbonoboui 2.0.0 is out and I'll

Mmm, not.

It just pops up a window asking for a password for "heise online

In fact, galeon is the best browser I have ever used. Fast, _reliable_,
gecko+gnome. Just fine.

Awaiting for the gnome2 version in cooker...

Strange. As I made a test install (that was with Cooker from last 
Sunday), I've used a single xfs partition. It resulted in "noatime" 
and "notail" in fstab. The partition was previously formatted with
reiserfs, but I doubt that this plays a role.

[Cooker] Display break-up

[Charles A Edwards]

Using nvidia drivers for booted kernel and Enlightenment.

After installation of the latest updates I have begun suffering from
display break-up.
Numerous white or misplaced color lines 1.5 to 2 cm in length.
At times making text in any open program illegible.

Problem is not kernel specific.
I can change kernel and nvidia driver but problem is the same.

If I switch and use the nv driver the break-up does not occur.

[Cooker] kernel ppSCSI patch

[Tom Badran]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Has this been applied to the cooker kernel yet? It hadnt been last time i 
checked, but the maintainer (forget your name sorry) said it was on his todo 
list. Ive personally been using it with a 2.4.18 kernel of my own making, 
along with the preemption patch and it has worked great, and been the first 
time my scanner has worked in 3 years (last time i had windows). The mandrake 
rpm of sane fully supports the parallel port scanners without modification, 
so only the kernel requires patching. The ppSCSI patch seems to now support 
quite a large number of scanners, so i thought it would be a good inclusion, 
and everything can be compiled as modules, so as far as i know nothing else 
will be affected.

Thanks for listening

i've made an install:

/dev/hdc1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc7 /boot xfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc5 /usr jfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc6 /var reiserfs notail 1 2

An other issue is the missing auto raid detectiton (for

That's right. Playing with the installer I created a XFS root fs.
Booting with that failed, because the notail option was in /etc/fstab.
XFS does not understand this, too.

I haven't tried that rpm (always compiled myself).
I understand that it can be used for other DB, never did that, though...

Perhaps Mandrake could also try to ship Oracle client libs (in 
PowerPack, or whatever...) - I am not sure about licensing, though.
This would make life of a lot easier for (Oracle) developers or 
potentially deployment of front-end apps with DB connectivity.

[Cooker] Xine causes hard lockup.

[Charles A. Shirley]

Hi list,

I have a problem with xine on an hp zt1170 laptop.  When I launch xine,
regardless of command-line or from menus, the xine window appears, and the
GUI with it, but the system no longer responds to any input nor to probe
from the network.  I have tried using different audio output plugins, and
with different window managers (KDE and blackbox) and with several
different kernels, including 2.4.18-13mdk, 2.4.18-16mdk, and custom
compiled kernels (with additional ACPI patching) based on those kernels.
I can provide little other information.  The system is all-cooker, and
otherwise works flawlessly (I have to add some patches to mdk kernels to
make the sound work with kernel driver, but otherwise, everything seems to
work well.)  I have the following xine packages installed:

[root@localhost chas]# rpm -qa | grep xine
libxine0.9.9-docs-0.9.9-1mdk
xine-plugins-0.9.10-2mdk
xine-d5d-0.2.4-3plf

Workaround:

CTRL_ALT-F1

(X will still be running, if you want to kill X, although it's not
necessary for this application, log in as root and do 'init 3'. 'init 5'
to restart x).

ALT-F7 to get back to X (if you didn't init)

CTRL-ALT-F(1-6) provide you with 6 virtual terminals under normal operation.

[Cooker] Install issues

[paul mccarthy]

with earlier versions of mandrake I was able to drop out of X-windows as an
option from the login window.  Now I can either install it to invoke
X-windows automatically or install it to end at the command line.  I can
change automatic log-in and reboot if I want to get out of X-windows to
install something from the command line, but that is a pain.

Using urpmi and gurpmi -4 the only thing that I can not do with rpmdrake
is Install pkgs.
That results in this error:

Can't call method "id" on unblessed reference at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/urpm.pm line 1409.

Line 1409 is this:

Actually, DavidBaudens is our internal "real world users"

I agree, though it's rather a matter of development policy, for
which I don't qualify to decide :-). And don't forget that it
needs much time -> discussing on mailing-lists is by far not as
efficient as a real people meetings, unfortunately.

I suspected as much, but just wanted to let you know that it might
not be a bad idea to do some proper 'marketresearch' first. Although
I'm not sure whether cooker people qualify as users, there is a danger
with developing these things internally. The real world might differ

DrakX had set him up with

You can get urpmi-3.4-4mdk, perl-URPM-0.02-2mdk.

Anyway, the bug have chance still to be there but you may send me the synthesis

[Cooker] new lilo 22.3

[Pixel]

The new lilo now integrates the various /boot/boot.b
(/boot/lilo-graphic/boot.b...).

So the upgrade is not really easy. I've tried to do the best i can.
But some case may go wrong. In that case, tell me (with as much
information as possible of course)

I should upload an adapted install soon.

A positive thing with this new lilo, is that having /sbin/lilo is
enough to install it. And so lilo will now be available on rescue 
(it used to be dumb to have it because we needed to copy the
/boot/boot.b from the rescue onto your partition otherwise you may
have conflicts)

It will be small and simple. The interface for "installing
packages", "removing packages" and "installing updates" will be
quite similar (and btw quite similar to DrakX's individual
package choice step).

We're done it internally (like 99% of our specs, AFAIK):
FrancoisPons, Warly, DavidBaudens and I have discussed the specs,
and it has been posted to our technical mailing-list for critics.

I am conscious that the final product may disappoint some
hardcore cooker users, since the main idea is to get something
which is simple enough for most users.

What about a "web" application ? I mean not using any graphical 
toolkit. 
rpmdrake interface is only about listing programs, selecting single or 
multiple choices and pressing enter. html forms should be sufficient, 
simple, robust and portable for that purpose. More, we could run 
rpmdrake in console mode using links ;)

Ha ya missing progress bars, you say ! Just look at what wget does.

A window showing what happens in the background could be very usefull.

And finally, some real warning about RPMNEW files created during 
install.

Re: [Cooker] Cooker mail archive

No, that'd be the wrong place.  Look at Mandrake's
front page again.  The Cooker stuff is not under
Support > Mailing lists, but under Developers > Lists
( http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fdevlists.php3 )
and the link is there.

The text there is misleading though, it makes it
sounds like Mandrake took over archiving at the turn
of the year and mail-archive doesn't do it anymore,
and of course Mandrake's archive isn't searchable, so
until the last time I heard Andrej moaning at someone
to search the archives, I didn't know mail-archive was
still keeping up.

Ok, great. This morning when I checked urpmi-3.4-1mdk was the latest.
I'll give urpmi-3.4-2mdk a try.

Thank you,

Ah, yes, if I run it w/o soundwrapper, it does not crash.  However, when
I use soundwrapper, it crashs regularly (wrong url/basic auth and surely
quite some other cases).

Well, there is a huge difference between scsi and ide-scsi, so I guess
it does matter.

2mdk fixes the problem along with another big one (rpm db not closed).

Please upgrade to 2mdk (and perl-URPM-0.02-2mdk to see the log).

Anyone thought about including this app in Cooker / next distro?
Red Hat does it, the RPMs are in Rawhide

It's a *great* application for Oracle developers / admins, requires Qt.

Since the whole "installing/removing packages" is under a
rewrite, these issues won't be fixed anytime soon. You should try
to use commandline urpmi in the meantime..

To cooker people: we've designed the specifications of a new

It will be much more user friendly (hopefully) and more simple.
