[Cooker] Shrinking Text
Odd thing just happened to me. I just updated several packages, and suddenly my fonts in gnome applications shrunk. It doesn't seem to have affected gtkhtml (the evolution editor and viewer), just all the menus, frame text, etc. Below is a list of the gnome/gtk packages I updated today, and some possibly related ones. Any ideas what caused it?

[Cooker] pcmcia modem problems
There is still a problem with PCMCIA modems. If the machine is booted with the modem already in the slot, trying to use it will result in a message that the modem is busy. EJECTING the card at this point will crash the interupt handler in the kernel about 50% of the time. If the display is on a console instead of an X session, there will be a message about the interupt handler (I don't remember the exact message), then screens full of numbers. Doing a modprobe -r serial_cs followed by THEN ejecting the card (NEVER crashed the kernel if the card was ejected after unloading the module, in something like 50 attempts) and then re-inserting it will allow it to work ok. The other alternative that works is modprobe -r serial_cs followed by modprobe serial_cs to reload the module. Has anyone else seen this behavior? It's been this way for the last few kernel revisions. V.

After installing 9.0beta1, performing a "ls /mnt/cdrom" without a disk in the cdrom takes a long time (about a minute) to fail.

[Cooker] Install cd lacks mount point configuration
Hi, I was just trying the new beta 1 (upgrade process) and noticed a problem -- there is no option to setup mount points. I have mount points for my /usr, /home and / directories. But when I tried to upgrade packages it only showed space for the / directory. I thus tried to cancel out of the install, afraid it would mess something up Cancel didn't work. I had to reboot the system. I think this is a problem (both the cancel not working and no mount point configuration). The install process didn't seem to even look at the existing fstab. It just made a couple of changes and left the other stuff alone. Any thoughts? Nasa

Easy from the command line:

I've done this several times without a hitch. It will extract the file(s) to
your current dir.
You may want to check the file & path names first, in which case:
rpm2cpio | cpio -ivt | less
pick the file(s) you want and you're set.

Hmmm... in other words, don't give users empty passwords.
While it might be a bug that can be exploited easily, you'd have to
pretty stupid to go and do this in the first place (I can't think of a
single instance where someone would want to give a user an empty
password).
Besides, the only way someone can exploit this is if a) the admin is
an idiot or b) they have root to begin with in order to create this
empty-user password.
I wouldn't consider this a critical thing at all (unless you're an
idiot, in which case if an update became available you probably
wouldn't update anyways).

Basically I had configured a network card and this caused the a default route to be set on boot (this card was configured by Mandrake during initial install). When I started kppp this route was not deleted and no new default route could be set. The modem would connect but nothing appeared to work (which was annoying). It was only when I was poking through a linuxconf script that I found that pppd's original behaviour of deleting the default route had been removed and that the script had to do it instead (I believe if you use draknet connect via a modem it has similar lines to delete the route in its script). Originally I set up a script to be run by kppp before trying to connect which just had /sbin/route del default in it but these days I've taken the more extreme measure of editing out DEFROUTE="yes" from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 At a minimum, I think kppp needs a delete default route option... -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/

Sure it's easy - there is even no need for a calculator, you can just can have a look into the detect-resolution script and use the numbers from there. But that's not the point; the point is that the script should understand the parameters the kernel understands. If it doesn't, you don't know why it's not working and one has to search and read scripts to find the reason why it doesn't work.

[Cooker] kernel: - problem with slow Iomega-Zipdrive (ppa)
Hi, I use an old Iomega 100MB Zipdrive with the ppa driver. But since some time it is very slow in reading from/writing to the disk (no hardware-problem, cause under Win9* its OK). If I attach the drive to a PC with LM8.1 it also works OK , but on my main PC with Cooker-Kernel not. So I looked in the kernel-config and found out, that when I enable "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)" in the "Parallel port support" it works again! (kernel-source-2.4.18-21mdk) Is there a chance to have it enabled by default, so I don't have to compile it everytime by myself?

It is each time a pain in the a** to find a final name that pleased everyone in 2 or 3 months, so having a name for each beta will require us far too much energy. Lets say it is named "Moyoto" ! Moyoto is an old forgotten language expression meaning more or less "Here I am" or "He, guys, I am here, wanna fight ?!" something like that. -- Warly

If the option is still there I suppose it has to work for somebody (well, may be not ;-)) I mean, I think the packager should not disable things.

The module also supplies a re-entrant, highly configurable replacement for the built-in Perl format() mechanism.
