[Cooker] 9beta3 - fyi - rpmdrake long standing issue... still...
rpmdrake does not like to die or be killed. If you xkill the GUI side of rpmdrake it leaves a bunch of stuff running in the background. This "stuff" is running as "root". The user would probably have to login as root, ps -aef, see the stuff, and kill it by hand. The fact that this stuff stays running also seems to interfere with starting rpmdrake again in the near future. 1. Make it die good or 2. Make it kill its old self (crud) when starting a new one ? Something ? -AEF

[Cooker] Kudos - 9beta3 install overall
9beta3 INSTALL "feels" good. Farvegnugen or however you spell that. Amazing. All the work y'all have been doing and with all that's been going on, this feels like a big jump forward... for install path anyway. I was afraid things weren't really so far along yet. Who's the magician ? Also, fyi - Mozilla 1.1 feels good. Almost as good perhaps as Opera 8.2 was feeling... so far... -AEF -- Upgrades will probably never ever work for me... ever...

[Cooker] 9beta3 - DrakConf - Interesting behavior upon change resolution
Somehow or another during Install, admitedly Expert Mode, things ended up being 640x480 although I'm quite sure that 1024x768 65K colors was selected, tested and fine during install... So anyway, I go and run drakconf. I select the very nice System, X Resolution and change the setting to 1024x768 65K colors. It informs me that I should "relog in to Kwin" for changes to take effect. 1. That should read a little different "logout of KDE, restart X, and log back in again." something different. "relog in" doesn't work for me ;) 2. It automatically launches whatever it is as if I had done Menu, Logout. It then stops KDE and X. I then have command prompts in text mode available on the virtual terminals, ctrl-alt-f[1..6] I have to login in text mode. Then I have to startx. Now I am back on-line. That was odd. I was expecting X to restart and bring back up the graphical login. FYI -AEF

I found the mseclib man page, which describe this and used it to create a

[Cooker] userdrake
Anyone get userdrake to work? I'm having problems with it. It seems to start the process, then it goes into the background and disappears. The same thing happens when clicking on users in drakconf. Also, it seems to create the files /etc/gtmp and /etc/ptmp, then leave those behind. Generally I need to delete those files to try to start the program, but then it still doesn't open. I tried upgrading to the newest userdrake, but still no luck. Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to fix this? -Eric Hattemer

[Cooker] 8.2 Upgrade blues
I boot I can't see any of the init.d services because gettext had dependency issues. (as I latter find out, there are alot of dep issues) gettext: error while loading shared libraries: libintl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (further research shows that it never updated the rpm libintl) [root@cool etc]# rpm -V gettext Unsatisfied dependencies for gettext-0.11.2-7mdk: libintl2 = 0.11.2-7mdk, libgettextlib-0.11.2.so , libgettextsrc-0.11.2.so , libintl.so.2 Kernel woes.. The system booted to Linux version 2.4.18-19mdk, it didn't install a newer version of the kernel, (I latter find it, the same is true for alot of other packages.) I installed kernel-2.4.19-3mdk and rebooted with the proper kernel I have two cdrom drives, dvd and a burner, only one was listed in fstab Both cdroms were previously setup as supermount, the one in fstab is iso9660. The dev it pointed to didn't exist /dev/cdrom2 (it appears to be currently /dev/cdrom0 ) My primary cdrom is not in listed in /dev, kernel sees it as hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1612, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive. If I manually mount /dev/hdd1 it must triger something, dmesg pops a new message "hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)" and it shows up at /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd, until the system reboots. The cdrom contains kernel-headers-2.4.18-40mdk, shouldn't it be 2.4.19-3mdk? No matter, nvidia srpm compiled without a problem. During the install I was prompted with several questions regarding X. However I don't think my XF86config-4 was modified, because I have a NVidia video card, and the driver didn't get replaced with X generic NV one. The system appears to be trying to start X before finishing to start other init.d services (including before xfs starts). When the services finally finishes loading it stops at a console login. inittab shows 5, when I manually changed it to 3 it functioned as expected.

Both are using KDE as desktop, both have the same version of tightvnc* packages. Both also have 3 buttons mouse wheel. In the tightVNC client window, I can use mouse wheel, and the third button (to copy/paste), the same on the client. But not between the two desktop, either with C-c, C-v or double clic or clicking on the third button.

Re: [Cooker] only squares in konqueror
I also had this problem. Something in updating had made my imported TTF fonts unusable. (Perhaps an XFT or XFree upgrade??)

That was a week ago... but now, since Microsoft decided to remove their free fonts, I guess you'll have to dig them up from elsewhere (or live without them). -Mark Piper On Sat, 2002-08-17 at 11:54, JC Pollman wrote: > two days ago, after updating my cooker machine, konqueror started displaying > web pages with only little squares and not letters.

Yeah, the subject could be changed from "*** Diff Check on {machine},
{date} ***" to include "msec" in the subject. It's probably a one line
patch in msec's python code (plus a second change for the "*** Security
Check ..." message).

Re: [Cooker] msec removing files?
As far as I know, msec will change permissions on files and directories (based on the level you've chosen), but doesn't actually remove any files. When it runs, it looks for various types of files, such as the suid files mentionned below, and writes a list of them in /var/log/security/suid_xxx.today (where the "xxx" is one of several values, depending on the test). After finding all the "interesting" stuff for today, it compares to the "interesting" stuff from yesterday and sends the email. The message below indicates that files present yesterday are no longer present today. msec has no information as to _who_ removed (or added) files. Your guess about removing package gnome-games is undoubtedly the answer. One of msec's tasks is to detect "interesting" changes in a system. It is up to you, the system owner/administrator, to explain the reported changes and decide if they are significant or not. Good luck!

No no no, see the only way to GET it to work is by doing the above.. I
set the default mouse to a PS/2 and set X config to /dev/input/mouse0
and it loads everytime.
if it is the fault of a bad devfs then so be it, int he final version it
wont be there.. but right now its working I m gonna wipe clean and
install the final anyways so.

because of the above, your X server cannot start, and since it'
started by init -> prefered_dm, you {k,x,g}dm will loop on trying
starting X11.
just boot with S or 3 on boot command line, run mousedrake after

I think it's not likely many people will run into what you did, you would have to run nautilus, have it save your session, then turn session management off later. The main problem is Gnome sucks, and it causes its apps to do that. GMC had the same problem, I ran into it using Gnomba. You just have to be careful using Gnome apps. __ Do You Yahoo!?

For this specific case and given the way SANE works, it doesn't really matter where the scanner is physically plugged in, so it may well work out easier, physical restrictions permitting, to plug a scanner into the server and share it SANEly from there. Likewise printers and CUPS, modems and ssh. A generic character-over-IP device driver - if none already exists for Linux - would even permit sharing mice, keyboards et al like that. (-: Cheers; Leon
Re: [Cooker] RPM database problem
I encountered similar issues with 9 Beta 2. Seems like urpmi and rpmdrake could lead into this error. After searching for "all the right stuff" to make sure it was installed and also finding a file that goes along with rpmdrake and doesn't seem to get installed with rpm -Uvh... Such problems seems to have cleared up a bit. I cannot get the db4 error now. Somewhere in the mix of everything I had done a --rebuilddb also. I would like to know what the root cause would be for such a message as this, so I can keep a closer eye on it. - > error: db4 error(-30979) from db->verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database > verification failed What are the set of dependencies that can yield this ? merely corrupt rpm database ? that simple ? or missing or wrong version perl module ? Or missing or wrong symlink to a .so ? or what ?

Great. > the $config part must be rejected of course Of course. Ehm eh why is that of course? I mean I use my own kernels and if I use make install target in ~/src/Kernel/linux && make install and I have a file called .config in ~ ( old file I don't use it anymore ) it will be installed (if I moved the .config somewhere else). What is the idea behind the ../../../.config? Groetjes, Han. -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software
[Cooker] RPM database problem
There seems to be a problemw ith the RPM database. When I try installing things from the INstall packages tool it will install them but will not update the RPM database I cannot find them in Kpackage or "remove software" tool, also at the ened of the installation it says something about "COuld not finsh install because an error occured" Installing an RPM manually through the Console gives me this message: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/maxima-5.6/share2/brmbrg.usg;3d5e6bd0: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch rpmdb: Overflow page 865 of invalid type rpmdb: Page 3056 encountered a second time on free list error: db4 error(-30979) from db->verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed

I wrote the Octave list and John Eaton, the developer, has tried to diagnose the problems with it. There does not appear to be a quick fix for this problem. However Scilab runs quite well in Mandrake 9.0 beta 2. This may be an acceptable substitute. Below is the backtrace I sent him and his comments at the end: | Starting program: /home/calc/octave-2.1.36/src/octave | GNU Octave, version 2.1.36 (i686-pc-linux-gnu). | Copyright (C) 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 John W.

[Cooker] 9.0 BETA 2 boot/usb bugs
If these have been fixed in Beta 3 please ignore.. I haven't been able to download it yet. On the boot screen pressing F1 clears the screen but doesn't show anything. I tried typing in 'text' and hitting enter but it wouldn't do anything. I had to reboot. (Same thing happened on three machines) On an esthetic note: if you just press enter on the main boot screen, the progress bar goes way past the 100%. USB: Unless this is a kernel issue... I cannot use my USB keyboard/mouse. It lets me get to a certain spot (different every time) in the installation and the keyboard and mouse stop working. If I install with PS/2, then plug the USB in the same thing happens. My BIOS is set to provide legacy USB support. If I disable that, I can't even hit enter on the LILO screen. Oh yea.. FireWire... Is there any way we are going to get FireWire CD-ROM support for installation? I have a Sony R505 laptop and the CD-ROM interface is none other then IEEE1394. James Angi [EMAIL PROTECTED]
