[Cooker] rpmdrake local source
Hi, I have a home network where the proxy/gateway synchronises with the cooker mirror. The rpm's are placed on a samba share, and all machines on the network access it this way by defining a local source. In the previous Software updater, this seemed to fail quite often. Most of the time I got a message 'already installed', even if this was not the case... or 'cannot open file'... I tried the new rpmdrake now, and I cannot seem to find a way to update my packages from a local source. I can run the Software Updater. It fetches a list of mirrors. I tried almost all mirrors, but it says everytime that the mirror does not support 9.0 yet. So... I cannot even get into the software updater. How can I update software from a local defined source ?

[Cooker] last beta 1 report

[Cooker] CD expert install 9.0 beta2
Easy install - just a few problems...
1) Why can't we have a separate partition fo root anymore? I keep a lot
of configuration files in there and they're lost when / is formatted.
2) Printer doesn't print. HP845C USB printer correctly detected. I
tried the recommended driver: Foomatic + hpijs and CUPS+GIMP-PRINT.
KDE Print Manager, administator mode, change driver provokes error dialog:
Unable to start the creation of the driver database. The execution of
make_driver_db_cups failed. It gives this dialog twice, then carries on
as normal.
I checked modules loaded: lp, parport_pc, parport, printer OK.
3) Speedtouch - seemingly correctly handled at install, with reminder to
get /usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o. Did this, but then
# /usr//share/speedtouch.sh start [FAILED]
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_speedtouch.default contained this line:
pty /usr/bin/pppoa3 -vpi -vci
as did /etc/ppp/peers/adsl
I corrected them to
pty /usr/bin/pppoa3 -c -m 1 -p -vpi 0 -vci 38
but adsl still would start. There seems to be some confusion over whether
to load modules uhci or usb-uhci. Now usb-uhci is blacklisted in hotplug
but preferred in /etc/init.d/usb.
Next bootup adsl started OK but doesn't restart after stopping.
4) Desktop icons for removable devices are useless. Click produces
Unable to enter file:/mnt/{floppy,cdrom,cdrom2}. You do not have access
rights to this location.
5) lbreakout2 cna't use sound - the sound button is greyed. This is

[Cooker] Highpoint hpt 372/374 ata133/raid controller status with 9.0b1???
Hello, this is my firts message to cooker, i have the Highpoint hpt 372 ata133/raid controller integrated into my Abit mobo. Currently i have been running Mandrake 8.2, but it will kernel panic during initial hardware detection if this controller is enabled in BIOS.so i have taken the hdd's off of it and shut it off in BIOS and have been running off the regular IDE channels. I recently tried to install 9.0b1 to investigate the status of hpt372 compatibility since i've read 2.4.19 has fixed this issue. With drives connected to hpt372 controller i proceed with install of cdrom. Intial hardware detection seems to proceed ok, all drives recognized properlyno kernel panic yay! Proceed through initial install to 'security level selection' screen, complete it, ready for 'partition screen'. 1) with drives on hpt372 the install hangs for 2-3 minutes prior to partition tablle section coming up. 2) once screen comes up, only the master drives on each channel present in tabs, i had one slave drive too but it 'no shows'. 3)** most importantly*** old partitons show correectly but i am unable to write new partition table to drive, no matter what i try ...so i can't proceed with install no matter what i try. All hardware is ok and properly configured. If i move drives to IDE channels, i can install..even with hpt372 enabled in bios.all above troubles dissappear. So, it appears there is some minor gltich that is preventing writing to drives on hpt372 controller. Note, i am not attempting to use raid functions, i just want to use these two extra drive connectors found on the hpt372 as normal independent hdd's. So, what is the status of hpt 372/374 support in 9.0, is it being addressed?? Thx for any help. Andy.
Re: [Cooker] Highpoint hpt 372/374 ata133/raid controller statuswith 9.0b1???
I would also like to know how is it with support for RAID controllers in Mandrake 9.0. I have Abit KT7A-RAID which has integrated High Point 370 controller. Can I use RAID function of the controller (even when installing) or is there no support for RAID functions. Thanks in advance for any info about this controllers.

[Cooker] Request for default LDAP server name in Drakx
Since we have LDAP and DHCP etc working, I normally do a network install, and DrakX (when given just my hostname) gets everything right. Setting up LDAP, it even pulls our prefix (dc=cae,dc=co,dc=za) out of the domainname it got from DHCP. The only irritation is that it defaults to localhost for the LDAP server. Somehow I don't see how I could manage to setup a working LDAP server on the machine by first boot so that I can log in ;-) Could this be changed to be something sensible like ldap.domainname (since it already has the correct domainname). I am quite sure that ldap.domainname will not have exist if it doesn't run ldap, and adding an A or CNAME record if the name doesn't exist is less effort than setting ldap.domainname on a number of machines, for each installation. This is the only change I have to make to get LDAP accounts working, so kudos on the rest. Buchan

Even Emacs gurus know that vi is THE editor you can always expect on any Unix. Sometimes you get only tiny, sometimes vim. You curse tiny, but you can bring back your system with it. Any system. How about both? Scalable man says basesystem is too big already, get grub out. Is there really not enough room for another small editor? Script it in on your systems. You'll have it for life. No three months reinstall here. I completely agree with you: Mandrake is a newbie-oriented distributions No, Mandrake is general-oriented distribution, newbies included. and very few newbies know how to use VI. Ask for a locale of the vim tutorial or submit it. It looks like the author of the rant never had to help someone fix their lilo.conf or do some repair over the phone. Try explaining how to use VI to a newbie... Before or after he learned the names of the keys ? Hell, I've been using Linux for 3-something years now and the only editor I know how to use is Pico. I can make some emergency repairs with VI, but it really ticks me off. Think to script.

Basesystem must have vi. Period. After agreement on this, you can spent the rest of your life talking about what _ELSE_ a newbie would need, and choose a tiny, small, editor to add. But look at _ADD_, not substitute. Any admin would be annoyed if vi is not there. You can blame whatever you want the cryptic keys of vi, but after learning a dozen keystrokes, you can beat anyone in speed and reliability using vim. -- J.A.

[Cooker] initscripts and eth
Hi all... I have two little problem with current cooker initscripts. - /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions::check_link_down() has a fixed timeout of 2 secs to wait the link getting up. I had to increase this to 3 o 4 to make my sis900 (eth on laptop) initalize correctly. With the default sleep, the card was reported as 'link down, check cable'. I will try to mess with bash and post a patch to turn it into a loop with a number of tries (10) for 'ip link set up' with 1 sec sleep in each. - This damned sis900 is capable to talk to the cablemodem at FullDX, but the autonegotiation does not work. I forced a /sbin/mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD in the same function as above. This can be a 'popular' scenario. Could you add a new variable, such as MIIFLAGS, in ifconfig-eth0, so as to do /sbin/mii-tool $MIIFLAGS /dev/null 21 || return 1 to override defaults, or force non autodetected options ? TIA -- J.A.
