[Cooker] Kernel module for SPCA50x camera chips
Hello, Any chance I could impose on someone on the cooker list to compile a kernel module for me? There is a driver for the SPCA50x chip based USB cameras available (don't know how good it is though). Unfortunately, I don't have room on this machine for kernel sources, so I can't compile the module myself, and the .o file available for download is for a different kernel. I have a camera based on this chip, and would love to use it with cooker. The module is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/spca50x/. If the driver is reasonably solid, any chance of putting it in cooker? Thanks, in advance, Vinny

Hi, Has anyone been able to use an IBM Microdrive with their PCMCIA adapter? Inserting the card into a PCMCIA slot causes a modprobe ide-cs, then the computer hangs, with no error messages on the console. V.

The club volunteers RPMs are different because they are there to directly serve the interests of paying customers. Granted, Mandrakesoft gets money from this (but they get money for contrib RPMs also). But the RPMs are still available to all, and they are usually going to be requests for either: 1)Software which isn't in Mandrake/contribs/PLF/Commercial stuff 2)RPMS Rebuilt from cooker. >Basically my attitude comes down to this.

Well, that is what I have done, see http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake (ok, so maybe OpenOffice.org and Mozilla appeared in unsupported later, but mine were up first ;-)). I have about 1GB of RPMs for 8.0/8.1/8.2 and cooker up. But don't you think that's a bit inefficient? What about Tex? He builds more than I do, but often we're duplicating work. Although the Club Volunteers is a Mandrake Club initiative, the idea was born on MandrakeForum, due to others having the same frustration you have. The MandrakeClub is going to provide the infrastructure, and those of us who normally build RPMS on stable releases (heck, I just built mozilla 1.0 on 8.1 for a member of our LUG) can cooperate. >Having just read through the FAQ about the club RPM thing.

Firstly, Mandrake staff aren't the only people who have write access to contribs. I have a number of packages which I put in myself. I will try and test all the new RPMS from the Club and have them added to cooker if appropriate. Please join the mailing list, and at least ask some questions. Deno has just given about 5 of us access to a machine to upload RPMs, I have uploaded my first RPM (k3b built for KDE3.0 on Mandrake 8.2), and RPMS shuold appear on the mirrors quite soon. Regarding contrib, I agree that the process needs to be streamlined, and that the differing instructions need to be fixed, but in the end a lot of people are contributing. Mail lenny. Mail him again. He is busy, but if you bug him, he will do something about it. Please think about how much time could be saved if we worked together on updating the stable releases, rather than each building a few RPMs, and duplicating each other's work. Regards, Buchan

Re: [Cooker] rpm Vendor question...
Maybe a bit off-topic: I would like to see a system where contributors can volonteer to maintain a package (or two :-) ). I think it could be a good replacement for contribs, since Mdk doesn't have the resources to bring the contribs to the quality standard of cooker (otherwise cooker would contain those packages). Seperate website being run by volonteers won't work, it just isn't scaleable, neither are the current contribs. IMHO we only need 3 distro's: cooker, contrib and plf. Let the contributors decide which packages are worthwhile to maintain, the rest can be put into the pound (same idea as an animal pound), and put to sleep if nobody wants to take care of it. Nice natural selection. I guess in order to let a large number of people maintain packages in a secure way a few things need to be done: What you don't want: - uploading of binary rpms (by near strangers) - shell accounts for each & every contributor - a lot of manual uploading by a few people for a large group What would be nice: - "help yourself", register for an abandoned package, or submit a new one; - if you want changes to a maintained package, some (web-) interface for contacting the maintainer would be nice; - uploading of src.rpm only (web-based, authentcate with cert?) - rebuilding engine that processes the src.rpm's - download the original sources (to prevent tampering with sources) - a mdk person needs to aprove the changes (use some workflow for this) - build the binary rpm's (multi platform?), and when things don't build, inform the maintainer (send buildoutputs of what went wrong, etc) The problem is most likely building the application that will enable this... (anybody capable of making such a thing want to volonteer?) I guess it's up to mdk to figure out how to best leverage the effort of the contributors. kind regards, Stefan Austin Acton wrote: >Not the case. >Volunteered RPMS will be freely available on regular MDK mirrors, >provided they are GPL or similar.

Re: [Cooker] rpm Vendor question...
Not the case. Volunteered RPMS will be freely available on regular MDK mirrors, provided they are GPL or similar. The only RPMS available only to club members will be those that are free, but not open source. New SRPMS will go directly into cooker if they are reliable. You should contribute this way, because it helps the distro directly.

The default configuration for the xinetd.d/fam is used, and I get page after page of this in my log files: Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[901]: warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[901]: libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[907]: warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[907]: libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[912]: warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[912]: libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[920]: warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[920]: libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[927]: warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[927]: libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[932]: warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[932]: libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[939]: warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[939]: libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from Jul 13 13:13:06 visigoth xinetd[2097]: Deactivating service sgi_fam due to excessive incoming connections.

[Cooker] fresh cooker install : bugs resport and suggestions
I've just done a install of actual cooker and I have some notes, thanks to take a look at them : == === Galeon (galeon-bin) have a segmentation fault :-( Mozilla can't be launched (menus/commandline - no error message) == === KDE 3.0.2 : It always ask for preferences at each session :-( == === Harddrake2 : My network card (eth0 / type : network) (NetGear / pcnet_cs module) is in Unknown/Others category. The about & help dialog box type is yesorno, I think a warning type could be better ;) I don't see my laptop's sound card (integrated : Cyrix Media GX - sb module) and my internal modem. == === Xdrakeres : when choosing a graphic card if card number > 1, if I click on cancel button, the next screen appear (res and color selection) with no XFree server -> must exiting == === Hardware support suggestions : My sound card is not configured at install. It's an integrated card who works with sb module. There is a way to, at installation, if no sound card detected, to try sb module with the std options (io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5) ? ov511_decomp and ov518_decomp modules (for webcams) are not in kernel modules (but are in 8.2) I haven't see TV-out configuration. I hope it will be included soon because it works fine ;) == === Gnome2 is very fun (light, fast (run fine on my P200MMX/80Mo laptop), pretty, ergonomic, fonctional,...) : I like it !!! -- Profitez de l'offre exceptionnelle Tiscali !

A number of people here will know of the RPMs I make available at http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake, specifically rebuilds from cooker for previous stable releases. The Club Volunteers was started due to people requesting updated RPMs om MF, Deno has done the effort in organising the logistics, and a while back there was a story on MandrakeClub for people to post their requests. We are getting organised now, a lot of RPMs are ready, and the uploads have just started. RPMs will be available in the Cooker mirrors (like unsupported) except for RPMs with restrictive licensing, which may go to PLF if suitable, otherwise will stay on the club. In this case then, there would be no need to change the vendor tag (unless Deno wants us to change it to reflect that they are club-made). What you might want to consider doing, if your only concern is conflicting with release numbers from Mandrakesoft, is to partially decrement you release number, such as if you were (say) rebuilding mozilla-1.0.0-7mdk on 8.2, you might want to make it mozilla-1.0.0-6.9mdk. Regardless, duplication of effort is evil, and we probably need someone in Club Volunteers to build on ppc ;-). Mail deno if you're interested. (And that applies to anyone on this list). There's free club membership in it of course (since you need to be able to read the posts). Regards, Buchan

Re: [Cooker] ostringstream bug in recent gcc/libstdc++
We discussed the issue on the ickle list,
this is our conclusion.
As I have no GNATS access to the gcc-bug-systems It would be nice, if some of
the Mandrake-compiler experts can handle this bug report and bring it to the
gcc folks.

I use this machine in a lot of locations, and since each location now only accepts outgoing e-mail from within their own system in order to prevent spam, it would mean having to re-configure my e-mail every time I move the machine. That is one of the main reasons I run Postfix on this machine. Currently the ONLY place that I e-mail regularly (or at least used to :-( ) that has any problem with this is this mailing list. I can understand why the list wants reverse DNS to prevent spam.. if we're going to continue to do this, though, could we at least lower the delay? If the e-mail bounced in like 5-10 minutes instead of days, it might kind of jog the memory of folks like me to say "Oh yeah - i have to send these out through Earthlink.." and they could be re-sent. Being on a client's site with this machine, if I'm working on their network, there is no way I can access any of the "legal" mail servers that I have access to, so any cooker related traffic would have to wait until I'm off their network, and near a phone line, so that I could dial into Earthlink to send it. > Also note that RFC 2821 (SMTP): > > ... > > 2.3.4 Host > >For the purposes of this specification, a host is a computer system >attached to the Internet (or, in some cases, to a private TCP/IP >network) and supporting the SMTP protocol.

We're talking what? a few miliseconds per mail to process? (Does this mean that the server might need upgrading? Heck, I could be convinced to donate towards that - if only to get my access to this list back) Vinny

[Cooker] nautilus2 issues
I've compiled and installed gnome2 from cooker source on my 8.2ppc (I had to unsinstall gnome-core-1.4 and nautilus-1 to avoid conflicts). It seems to run almost well and fast, even on my 180 Mhz ppc. I noticed several issues in nautilus-2.0.0-5 I didn't see in nautilus.bugzilla. So I post them here 1 - after a "nautilus -q", all my icons positions are lost, and all of them place at the same place at the top left of the screen. 2 - A migration issue : my nautilus-1 scripts weren't taken into account and didn't appear in the menu, because the script directory isn't at the same place anymore. 3 - The "open scripts directory" entry in the file menu, when activated for the first time, creates a ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts directory. Once this is done, nautilus becomes very slow (to open windows, to change directories, to move to trash, to pop up menus, etc., but not the text, eog and gtkhtml views). In fact, more than nautilus-1. Deleting this directory and restarting nautilus solves the problem. As a consequence, I can't use scripts in nautilus-2 by now. 4 - I tested nautilus in several user accounts. I created a special new user account (named "gnome2") to test it in a clean environnement. In this user account, nautilus runs fast. But in my other accounts, where I used to run gnome1 before (let's call them "gnome1 accounts"), nautilus is very slow. I didn't find any solution and it is the most annoying bug. The most weird thing is the following : when running a terminal in the gnome2 user account, if I make a su to one of this "gnome1 user" and launch nautilus2 (being then a "gnome1 user"), it opens and runs fast !!!

I usally paste with the middle mouse button, and that's broken in latest
