But now, with the 700 MB isos, there is so much stuff that is rated 4 or 5, that it did not get installed.

[Cooker] 9.0 RC1: Booting / Devices Removed And Readded
This morning I upgraded package from Cooker and after some time when I did a reboot it stoped somwhere and just set there. I tried one more time and the same happened. the next time I did a reboot I selected Linux-NonFB, which is more verbose (quiet option is not set) of what is going on during booting. I soon got a few messages that some devices (like videocard, harddisks, network card) were removed and right after that that the same devices were added and there was a question if I want to run config to set up those devices. I think that booting stoped just because of these questions. The problem is that they didn't show in normal boot which has the option quiet. I think that questions like that should be shown even if option quiet is set. So that user can know that he has to answer some question for booting to continue. -- Live long and prosper!

[Cooker] rpmdrake downloading packages
When asking rpmdrake to download a bunch of packages, like 500 megs of updates, you may want to leave the computer while it downloads and does its work. And then, right after you return, there's an error message of some kind, mostly with the gpg signatures. There, no updates for you in a couple of hours... and you'll have to sit at the computer to make sure it continues. There are, as I can see, two fixes: 1. Make sure rpmdrake identifies GPG signatures correctly, check them somehow before they end up in cooker 2. Make these error messages come at the end of the installation. Other than that, I experienced something wierd when updating stuff with a lot of config files (ie. X), that fills up more than one screen.

That would be a very bad thing. CDROMs have to be SCSI [or emulated] for CD copying programs to work, and few people want to use their CD burner for reading CDs. Could you be more clear on what is bad (that, it etc are very bad words to use as a subject, since they are ambiguous). I was saying: 1)ide-scsi should not be the default for CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives, unless we can test this on every single combination of CD-RW and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, since there are problems that could be more serious than not being able to copy a CD (like not being able to use the writer at all, which is the case if I use ide-scsi on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and supermount on the CD-RW) 2)It should be easy for a user to use ide-scsi on a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, so that they can set it that way, and set it back if they have problems. Since Pixel (apparently, I still haven't been able to test) added this to drakconf, this is the current status. Needing to be able to do CD-to-CD copies is normally illegitemate use of a CD-RW drive, and IMHO, legitemate use should take preference (being able to backup data on the hard disk or master CDs, or write ISO images, as opposed to being able to copy a software or audio CD).

[Cooker] BUG: USB problem with EPOC D6VA motherboard, 9.0 Beta 4.
USB does not appear to work with the EPOC D6VA motherboard under Mandrake 9.0 Beta 4 using the SMP kernel. The USB chipset is detected correctly and the usb-uhci module seems to be happy with it, however devices attached to the USB port are not detected (there appears to be a timeout occuring). The usb-ohci module does not work with this chipset (unsupported). The usb module works but has the same problems. I've been testing using the USB hub built into my monitor (Iiyama VisionMaster Pro453). The hub is detected correctly on another PC under Windows-98 (my Linux machine is not dual-boot - never been contaminated by MS). Attached are output from dmesg, lspci -vv and lspcidrake -v.

Re: [Cooker] [RC1]
That still doesn't change the fact that it's bad marketing practice to overpack the cd's. We're not talking about a lot of space here, D3 is 550m (IIRC), the other 2 are incredibly up there(one is 697 I think, which still didn't cut it, two is just over 700). At times I've thought about joining the Mandrake Club, to show support, but, well, with this practice, I'm inclined not to really, and I'm sure that quite a few others are just the same. Let me put it like this: If you downloaded software from a company and couldn't use it correctly , or couldn't use it at all, would you pay for it? Would you support it? I wouldn't. In fact, if I'd paid for the product, I'd demand a refund pretty quickly. More importantly if X company refused to follow industry standards (in this case with ISO images), preventing you from burning the cd correctly, BUT Y company and Z company, and even A company gave no problem with this, would you use the ONE company that gave you problems? I wouldn't. The standards (some of the best downloaded and most used versions, judging by the largest beta iso available) Redhat -- 662720 KB Slackware -- 673248 KB FreeBSD -- 660128 KB Mandrake -- 716416 KB I have resorted to having to download my sources directly from cooker, as i've said in the last email, but that is my choice, and my prerogative. Unfortunately, that will mean MORE work for me, as it's been stated over and over again that Cooker isn't stable. But, what other choice am I left with? Sure, I could take my business elsewhere, but I rather LIKE mandrake (even though I have to do the extra work). The point I'm trying to make here is that mandrake is WELL pushing the industry standard for the ISO size and limitations, causing problems with various burners (not ALL drives support overburning, I hope you're aware). The response from mandrake : we don't care. How does this look for newbies who are thinking about supporting 'drake? The way these CD's are packed is hazardous to say the least. For the ones that can't properly sync these cd's, there's NO solution to install software later, other than re-downloading sources, which creates more work on the end user. The CD is prompted for, and even when inserted, it's worthless, because the drive can't read it to begin with. HOW it's installable even is well beyond my power of understanding, but it is.

Re: [Cooker] RC1 : once again, the same problem with i845g chipset!!!
Yes, this is important for some of us with the new ASUS P4B533 board. The disk IO is extremely slow in PIO mode. I know that Alan Cox has a patch for the standard 2.4.19 kernel, but I use the xfs file system. I doubt that xfs is supported by the standard kernel. So, I am stuck with the mdk kernels. I certainly also hope that somebody at Mandrake is working on this problem. -- Bjarne Thomsen Department of Physics Astronomy University of Aarhus On Fri, 2002-09-06 at 09:55, Eric Fernandez wrote: There is still a problem with the i845G chipset and this new 2.4.19 kernel, preventing hdparm to setup the UDMA5 mode for hard drive (HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted).

A patch exists by Andre Hedrick on : http://www.linuxdiskcert.org/ I do not want to be rude, but this is the fourth time I report this problem on this list, which is serious because it cripples the performance of the hard drive. Not counting I reported it on mandrakeexpert too. I was told this would be corrected in the beta 2, and it is still in the RC1 (even if I reported it after each new beta release), and I am afraid it will be also in the final version. So either you do not want to correct it, and I hope this is not the case, either there are technical reasons for that, but this is strange because the Slackware 8 kernel has not that problem.

[Cooker] Konqueror and plugins now broken
I'm running the latest Cooker, and everything works great, except for konqueror plugins. For example, when going to a site that uses flash, konqueror will hang for a few seconds, using up resources (e.g. mp3s will skip), then eventually display a box where the flash should be saying unable to load Netscape plugin... This happens both with the native linux version and the Crossover plugin version. It also happens when using the Crossover plugin for other formats, like Quicktime or Windows Media. The thing is, last week, everything was working OK, so it must be something that changed recently. BTW, all the plugins work fine in Mozilla and Netscape, so its a Konqueror problem. I'm using kdebase-3.0.3-61mdk Anybody else experiencing this? -chris

you need apache2, and for apache2 you need apache2-conf :-)
I built apache2 first, installed the rpms with --nodeps and then built

[Cooker] draksync bug
I believe that this bug has been reported several times before and it's a serious one since it results in data loss! Please take the time to read the description and the solution. I reported this problem for 8.2beta, I believe it was also there in 8.1. Ben Rieser also reported this in 8.2beta and so have other people I want to synchronize 2 local directories, d1 and d2 and I want to copy the newest files. I start with them in the following state: [narfi@c-115082 tmp]$ ls -l d1 d2 d1: total 8 -rw---1 narfinarfi 33 Sep 7 10:41 a1.txt -rw---1 narfinarfi 15 Sep 7 10:40 a2.txt d2: total 8 -rw---1 narfinarfi 24 Sep 7 10:34 a1.txt -rw---1 narfinarfi 24 Sep 7 10:41 a2.txt So draksync should copy: d1/a1.txt -- d2/a1.txt d2/a2.txt -- d1/a2.txt according to the timestamps on the files. However, after synchronization, the state is: [narfi@c-115082 tmp]$ ls -l d1 d2 d1: total 8 -rw---1 narfinarfi 24 Sep 7 10:34 a1.txt -rw---1 narfinarfi 24 Sep 7 10:41 a2.txt d2: total 8 -rw---1 narfinarfi 24 Sep 7 10:34 a1.txt -rw---1 narfinarfi 24 Sep 7 10:41 a2.txt so draksync copied d2/a1.txt -- d1/a1.txt d2/a2.txt -- d1/a2.txt thus overwriting the newer file d1/a1.txt ! Solution: Look at the output from: grep rsync /usr/lib/DrakSync/commands/none_is_newer.exp spawn rsync -rlpgtz --progress --stats --dry-run $src $dst spawn rsync -rlpgtz --progress --stats --dry-run $dst $src spawn rsync -rlpgtz --progress --stats $src $dst spawn rsync -rlpgtz --progress --stats $dst $src and you notice that the -rlpgtz options to rsync mean: recursive, recreate symlinks on the destination, preserve permissions, preserve groups and use compression during transmission. However, conspicuously missing is: [From the manpage for rsync] -u, --update This forces rsync to skip any files for which the destination file already exists and has a date later than the source file. Adding -u to all invokations of rsync in none_is_newer.exp not only seems like the only logical thing to do, it also solves the problem for me. Narfi.

Re: [Cooker] mkinitrd fails after RC2 installation, can't mount XFS
David Walluck wrote: I use XFS for my root filesystem. After the installation, mkinitrd fails, so that obviously the kernel fails to mount the XFS root filesystem. Unfortunately I can't find any errors being reported by mkinitrd. Right now when I try to use a rescue RAM disk and run the system that way, it tells me that the RAM disk image is too large. My major questions are: 1.) Does mkinitrd ever report any descriptive errors? 2.) How can I run mkinitrd with a different root (i.e. /mnt) if I do happen to get the system to boot some other way? 3.) Is the RAM disk a completely different problem? I did some investigating. ddebug.log says nothing about why it fails, but then the bootloader fails too and the install is stuck in a loop. That is interesting because '/mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt' from the shell worked fine. *** The major bug is the install is not adding the 'initrd=' lines to '/etc/lilo.conf' (for any kernel!). Each kernel needs to use its own particular initrd in order for things to work correctly. It should also take care not to use the '/boot/initrd.img' symlink, since this is only good for a particular kernel. *** There are some other unrelated bugs. 1.) The installer completely ignores the hostname I enter and uses the one from the DHCP server instead. I need to change it manually after the install finishes. In addition, the auto-generated hostname seems to be incorrect, it's certainly not what the nameserver returns, but it's possible that the DHCP server is returning the wrong hostname. 2.) I have an emu10k1, and the install incorrectly uses the ALSA drivers. I don't think they work well, and they should not be preferred over the OSS drivers because, for example, you cannot use the mixer with ALSA. The install gives no option to choose the sound driver, however if I run 'draksound' after the install, it will choose the OSS driver (or at least does not provide an ALSA option). 3.) drakxservices (newt version) displays nothing but 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons. ntsysv from console works fine, however. -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] Euro symbol display problem in Kde applications with RC1
I can't see the euro symbol - the one displayed with Alt Gr + E - with any Kde applications (tested with konsole, kwrite, kword) under RC1. Instead is displayed a small circle with 4 little lines around - that is said to be the international symbol for money. I have choosen France in my setup. Note that this install was done from hard disk. Maybe this is the reason for the problem. Other than the missing packages from the #2 and #3 CD at end of the install there was no glitch. Anyway, I tried to fix the problem using localedrake, but I noticed that localedrake set a .i18n file with every value as FR_fr; this is not working as it's necessary to have fr_FR.iso-8859-15 for the euro to be displayed. After changing the .i18n by hand and restarting kde, everything is normal. I know that this value in .18n comes from /etc/sysconfig/i18n, but I have failed to find from where this file is coming. Just after install were values corresponding to a standard Us setup in .i18n, btw. Using localedrake, choosing france-utf8 fixes the problem too, but it's really not an obvious choice for people who don't any idea of what is utf8. Note that every non-Kde app I tried displays the euro fine in every case : Mozilla or gnome applications. I can burn 3 CD and install *again* if this really matters. Gerard
Re: [Cooker] More wierd VMWare...
I had the same problems...and then some. Kernel OOPS on startup, rpm install hangs. I was finally able to get a running minimal installation by using a raw disk and a real cdrom (first tried with a cdrom image and virtual disk). My guess is vmware has trouble when things get too fast...their fix for w2k+sp3 was slowing down the disk access to about 1/4 the speed it normally runs. On the other hand, I tried it on a slower system at work with beta4 (pIII/1000 instead of Athlon XP2000+) and it installed cleanly under vmware.

Re: [Cooker] mkinitrd fails after RC2 installation, can't mount XFS
David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: ddebug.log says nothing about why it fails, but then the bootloader fails too and the install is stuck in a loop. That is interesting because '/mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt' from the shell worked fine. The major bug is the install is not adding the 'initrd=' lines to '/etc/lilo.conf' (for any kernel!). Each kernel needs to use its own particular initrd in order for things to work correctly. no kidding! ;p It should also take care not to use the '/boot/initrd.img' symlink, since this is only good for a particular kernel. i don't understand what's happening. Can you please send me the ddebug.log? or better /root/drakx/report.bug.gz
