Using the default menu works well, until you're ready to add something to the gnome (or kde) menus. In this case, it's rather confusing to say the least. For example: This morning, I added Ksplash/ML which adds an entry to the default KDE settings menu. I looked and looked and looked, using the default drake menu, but it just didn't show up, so I had to go back into the kde menu to configure things such as splash screen, as well as a few other misc settings that didn't make it to the Drake menus. Because it adds it menu entry to original KDE menu, not Mandrake menu.. I've personally stuck with the KDE menu, adding drake configuration tools (menudrake, userdrake, etc) to another menu INSIDE of the kde menus. Would it be possible though, to have an option (as with the other two menus) to add a link to the basic menus (configuration/what to do section) if you're using the default Gnome/KDE menus? This would certainly help I'm sure. It could be possible but it is up to KDE packager to say if they want that or not.. -- Frederic Crozat MandrakeSoft
[Cooker] linux-wlan-ng (WiFi) incompatible with Mandrake kernel ?
Hi, We have tried to install linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14 drivers on Mandrake 9.0 Beta 2 without success (ie. with kernel crashes !). I think it is important to include the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14 or at least to make sure it is not impossible to use them with the Mandrake linux kernel. Why Linux Wlan NG ? - because the drivers are required for PRISM II cards (the one which are sold the most currently in the entry level price in EU and in Japan, typ. 70 EUR or less) - because only PRIMS II cards allow to build an access point with Linux (read http://www.cafwap.net/prism2ap/ and http://www.openbrick.org/wiki/wifi ) What does not work : - using orinoco drivers with some PRISM II cards in kernel 2.4.18 (it used to work some time before in previous kernels) - packets get lost from time to time and can not go beyond the router - compiling linux-wlan-ng drivers and using them with kernel-mdk - the kernel crashes at the first ping What works : - using a linus standard kernel and compiling the linux-wlan-ng I have no idea what is the issue, but WiFi is getting very popular and will be marketed a lot this winter in EU. Cards will become cheaper. I think MDK 9.0 must include good support of PRISM II chipset. I would love to make an RPM for this but the issue seems to be kernel related and this goes beyong my technical skills. I have the feeling that some extra modules (the wlan wrappers in the 3rdparty directory) may conflit with linux-wlan-ng. JPS. PS.

I recommend Mandrake to everyone I know. As such I get calls to help with installs all the time. These people are ALWAYS encouraged by me to either buy ML or join the club. They almost always do once they see how great ML is. I would say that as the premiere desktop distro, a concerted effort should be made to support winmodems when possible and include all available drivers in the distro along with the tools to autodetect them and install as appropriate. I would say that at least 70-80% of my installs run into a winmodem problem. A newbie has no clue how to go to linmodems.org and get drivers/install etc. When these winmodems are detected, the installer simply suggests the cryptic please visit linmodems.org for more information or something to that effect. Why are the available winmodem drivers not simply included in the distro?? This would be a major plus if Mandrake added this and it would put it even further ahead of the other desktop oriented distros. This one sticking point has always concerned me and as I run into this problem more and more I thought this feature would be EXTREMELY useful to myself and many others who use/recommend ML. Thank you ALL for your hard work and dedication to making the best Linux distro possible but please can we make some progress in this area for 9.0?? Kind Regards, Jason Greenwood

Hey all, Been doing a little research and I have found something that might be relevant about the problems I'm having getting either 8.2 or cooker going on this machine (Shuttle SS40). The machine is based on the SiS 740 chipset, and works perfectly happily with Mdk 8.1 (2.4.8-26mdk), but any newer build of *any* linux I have tried will not even start to install. Is this chipset not supported in the current kernels or has something been missed by accident?? Found a couple of others having the same trouble installed Mdk 8.2 on this chipset too in the newsgroups. Help! :) Andy

[Cooker] Memory leak- XMMS?
Hi, I noticed this over the weekend. When using XMMS to play MP3s after 5-10 minutes the machine would hard freeze. This morning I decided to do a little digging to see if I could find out why. Running top in a console windows, while playing music with XMMS causes the available memory decrease at a fairly steady rate. Pausing or stopping the playback stops the decrease in memory. Closing XMMS recovers the memory. Running out of memory locks up the machine. This is with XMMS as of about a week ago, and kernel 2.4.18-23mdk. I'm borrowing a broadband connection later today, so I may try a clean cooker install and test it again. V.

[Cooker] upgrade 8.2-9.0
Hi, I have a general question about upgrading from MDK 8.2 to 9.0. Is is possible to do an upgrade package-by-package manually? I tried doing this from 8.1-8.2 but I had lots of libpng dependancy problems, so I did a clean install. I could just do the upgrade option in the installer but I like having control. I currently have KDE3 installed in /opt/kde3 with the non-cooker packages which were meant to be compatible with KDE2. I'm just wondering if there would be any major roadblocks ahead, similar to the libpng problems I had before. I would be easy to get around those dependancy problems by the way...just symlink to the new libpng and use the --force option...but I don't like tricking rpm. Thanks, David Grant

then it would be nice if the existing file was renamed to
XF86Config-4.XFDrak.old or something along those lines, just in case you
change your mind about the settings.
anyway, can you send the generated XF86Config-4? can you try XFdrake
after install and see if it fails too
(remove /etc/X11/XF86Config{-4,} first) ?
XFDrake works perfectly after deleting all the XF86Config* files.

[Cooker] Re: new uglier rpmdrake
Also, I forgot to add... The new rpmdrake has that annoying problem where you close it, and the cursor stays as a wait symbol (like a watch-face) until you logout of gnome. This used to happen in 8.1 with drakconf and now the nightmare is back again. Can this be easily fixed? Austin

Andy Neillans [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
so where do you want it to find an old file? before formatting?
Well, if an XF86Config-4 exists when XFDrak goes to save the settings,
then it would be nice if the existing file was renamed to
XF86Config-4.XFDrak.old or something along those lines, just in case you
change your mind about the settings.
ok, done
anyway, can you send the generated XF86Config-4? can you try XFdrake
after install and see if it fails too
(remove /etc/X11/XF86Config{-4,} first) ?
XFDrake works perfectly after deleting all the XF86Config* files.
Think it was just a fluke or a bad config file from the installer?
I don't know. If it happens again, tell me.
Re: [Cooker] Ugly and nonergonomic rpmdrake !!!
Have you looked better at it? It has new features, like the update availability sorting, new stuff for grpmi which makes things look nicer. And, i feel dependencies are not a problem anymore, as most is checked upon selection, as it wasnt before. You can set the mirrors, but not in rpmdrake. Removing and editing is done outside. I think that is a step forward for ease of use. My rpm package management _is_ easier, now than before.

Re: [Cooker] Ugly and nonergonomic rpmdrake !!!
As it is now, if you go in and try to remove, say x package that is required by y package, a screen pops up that says Because of their dependencies, the following packages have to be removed. There IS no cancel. To get out of that, you have to close that screen, which, in turn closes rpmdrake. Of course, you COULD click on ok (or accept, or whatever it is), and have the packages removed. I just think it'd be better to have a cancel button too, so that you don't HAVE to re-open rpmdrake if you want to cancel removal of x package.

And if don't mind risking a conflict, you should be using rpm, not urpmi.

Re: [Cooker] dma mode not being enabled on cd/dvd devices
--- Adam Williamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sat down to watch a DVD today and noticed playback was terribly jerky. Thought for a while about what was causing it, and eventually nailed it; hdparm revealed that neither my DVD drive nor my CDRW drive had been set to DMA transfer mode. I never checked this directly in 8.2, but DVD playback was smooth when I ran it, so presumably this was being set automatically in 8.2. So, can someone tell me where Mandrake sets hdparm settings on boot, so I can fix this on my PC 'nicely'? And is this a bug or just a settings change? cd /etc/sysconfig cp harddisks harddiskhda cp harddisks harddiskhdb an so on, just for the ones that you actually have, then edit those files. harddisks applies to all. They probably disabled cd/dvd dma to play it safe, it doesn't work with some drives. __ Do You Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com

Or perhaps it was a complete re-write, in which case I would assume that they are still working to re-write parts of the code, but didn't have time to get it all done for 9.0beta2.
