[Cooker] RC2: still cannot configure soundcard using sndconfig
Hi, Have a machine here with an ISA Analog Devices AD1816. In beta 4 this could be configured using sndconfig, but in both RC1 and RC2 this does not work. sndconfig reports it as unrecognized, when in fact it can run in sound blaster emulation mode without problems. But there is no choice to configure this option. Thanks, Damon
Re: [Cooker] sound troubles with RC1

The first step is easy, add cooker (or the new release) to your urpmi sources (and remove the old one). Then you have a couple of ways to move forward: 1 - single step: urpmi --auto-select (this is similar to allowing apt-get to do a full upgrade), cross your fingers and let it fly. 2 - my paranoid way (I use this even though I'm exclusively on cooker on my home machine, and I used it to update my work computer from 8.2 to cooker) * urpmq --auto-select | sort packagelist * look through packagelist * remove packages that you didn't know were on your system and never use (then redo the urpmq) * manually rpm certain lib stuff to make sure the old versions are not removed to allow backwards compatibility. For example, if glibc is changing from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5, I know that it will remove 2.2.4, so I backup the 2.2.4 libs, install 2.2.5, then restore the 2.2.4 libs. * backup /etc * use urpmi to upgrade manageable chunks of the packages (like libs, gnome, kde, gcc, etc.). I do something like: - urpmi $(egrep '^kde|arts|qt' packagelist) - urpmi $(egrep 'next group of stuff' packagelist) - .. This allows me to better watch the messages from urpmi about .rpmsave/.rpmnew stuff that I have to look over * compare /etc to the saved one to make sure certain settings didn't get lost and restore any lost settings (like my pet peeve of rpm removing BACKSPACE=BackSpace from /etc/sysconfig/keyboard) * enjoy newly upgraded system. * repeat as necessary/desired to keep up with cooker, or go to another later release.

[Cooker] problem with diskdrake on rc2
There is a bad behaviour of diskdrake (and also a bad message) when diskdrake is started and when a device is no more available through supermount. for example : plug and switch on a usb device so that a dynamic icon appears on the desktop, then switch off and unplug this device. (maybe it is enough to `ls` a floppy and remove it). Start diskdrake. A message appears : I can't read the partition table (...) Do you agree to loose all the partitions? This message is bad because it make me think that I will lose all data. The message is not clear about what will be done, and whether the changes may occur on a single device or not. But this message should even not appear, because since the real device is not there, the corresponding /dev entry should not be there.

It blocks, I type Ctrl-C and tries to start, but fsck fails and drops me to a shell. I had to set root fs 'read-write' in lilo.conf and create a /fastboot to get a normal startup.

[Cooker] Mandrake Control Center et al. UI inconsistency under KDE
I like 9.0rc2 very much. I am still testing it. However, the user interface of Mandrake control center et al. is still inconsistent on my system. (9.0rc2) Sometimes, kdesu is used, sometimes it is another application. For example, for Software Sources, the KDE menu item calls /usr/sbin/edit-urpm-sources.pl while for the MDK Control Center, it calls /usr/sbin/drakconf While drakconf spawns a kdesu dialog, edit-urpm-sources.pl spawns a GTK dialog without themes and does it in such way that the KDE application startup icon gets messed up just like if it could not lauch the application. Other applications such as menudrake or the password change application show a very uggly theme (buttons, menus) under KDE (while this is not the case of the MDK Control Center which shows a nice theme with gray gradients or for userdrake). The problem is quite general : it seems that there is no policy for consistency among Mandrake configuration applications on the way themes should be rendered or on the way root passwords should be asked to the user. Sometimes, it is kdesu, sometimes it is something else. Sometimes, there are nice themes, sometimes it is plain uggly flat rendering of menus and buttons. Also, (I do not know if that was taken into account), I think that it would be nice if the /root directory contained all the required default settings for propper rendering of themes without requiring users to first login as root before they get consistent themes under KDE whenever they call Mandrake Control Center.

Hi I have found the need for many low res screen resolutions for such thingas as movie playing, xmame, etc. The method XFdrake uses to enable modes is to enumerate each mode in the XF86Config file. For example (a newly created file): Subsection Display Depth 24 Modes 1280x960 1152x864 1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubsection It would be better (at least under XFree 4, which automatically provides resoltions from the monitor, if it is capable), to not limit the modes provided to the user If I use instead, the following: Subsection Display Depth 24 Virtual 1280 960 EndSubsection My maximum mode is exactly the same as before, but I have many more low resolution modes.

[Cooker] Kernel: oops in current aha152x
Hi, There is a bug in the current aha152x driver which causes oopses when I try to scan somehting with my scanner connected to an ISA SCSI card which uses this driver. I reverted the aha152x.c and aha152x.h files to the versions included in kernel 2.4.18, and the oopses were gone, and I was able scan again. Could you make this change for 9.0 release?

Re: [Cooker] Linksys WPC11 Version 3
Nael Mohammad wrote: After installing RC1 and in process of downloading RC2, I noticed that Linksys Wireless PC Cards Version 3 is not supported just like the NETGEAR wireless nic cards. The current pcmcia-cs package and the MDK kernel already contain the drivers for the Linksys WPC11 version 3 cards (orinoco_cs). The problem is that MDK ships a config file which is missing a valid entry for the card. Even the config included in the base pcmcia-cs package has an outdated entry. The other more major problem is that even though MDK is shipping the driver, it isn't included in the list of drivers in the configuration tool. This has been this way at least since beta2, and I've reported it about 4 times, but no one will comment as to if or when it will be fixed. Frank Griffin wrote: I just tried an RC1 install on the laptop with the Linksys WPC11. In spite of the fact that the orinoco_cs driver is compiled and present in /lib/modules, there is still no entry in the MDK drop-down driver list for it during install. Also, the card is not detected because the pcmcia-cs package config file has still not had the WPC11 entry added to it. Is there some problem with doing this ? From the changelog, I can see that the package was rebuilt after beta4, and I've been reporting this since beta2. As I've pointed out, the MDK config contains much less than the config which is included with the pcmcia-cs version from which it's built, and even the current author's config has an outdated entry for the card which will not work. If the driver were included in the Draknet choices, at least I would be able to configure manually. But without Draknet's help, I don't seem to be able to find all of the hidden places that are supposed to contain things like IP address, Gateway, etc. Frank Griffin wrote: The problem I reported for b3 still exists: The problem is twofold: (1) The /etc/pcmcia/config that ships with Beta3 is not the config that is part of pcmcia-cs-3.2.0. It is about 6K shorter, and contains no entries at all for the Linksys Wireless cards. (2) The /etc/pcmcia/config that is part of 3.2.0 is wrong in regards to the Linksys WPC11. The entry needs to read: card "Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card" version "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network PC Card" bind "orinoco_cs" The version line in the existing file is wrong (at least for my version of the card). The config entry as shipped in 3.2.0 is for an older version of the card, and the above entry needs to be added. Also, the orinoco_cs driver is shipped with the MDK kernel, but does not appear in the Network Wizard selection list during the install. Is there any reason why all of the built drivers shouldn't be selectable ? Finally, the b4 network install autodetect did not detect my serial PCMCIA card and flag "modem" as a configurable option. b3 didn't detect it either, although b2 did.

I used to install some of my own RPM's within the 'postInstall'-script of Mandrake AutoInstall. Since a few days this doesn't work anymore. A 'rpm -i ' hangs silently and I have to kill it manually and then the installation goes further. Within the 'postInstall'-script I used to have export DURING_INSTALL=YES If I comment this out, the 'rpm -i ' works again, but then in some RPM's there where things started which shouldn't during installation (eg. restarting font server).

Re: [Cooker] Why 700MB CDs there is easyer to write to 650MB and less to download
You can buy new burners for about $30 ($40 for a 24-40x) that can easily handle 700MB discs. If you have a burner that can't (as 700MB discs are the now defacto standard and almost completly replace 650s)), it's either very buggy or total junk. That extra 50MB per disc won't take too much longer when you figure the download time for the total set, and that extra 150MB set just might have the killer utility you need to fill in the gaps on any system. You could always reduce the size of the discs to 500MB so that someone with a very buggy 1X burner can make discs too, but that's even more foolish. As long as the official iso's don't require a dvd-r (I go this route myself) or overburning, I say pack them as full as possible. It's not that simple. Mandrake overpacks the CD's plain and simple. While 650 is starting to be the low standard, umm, 700m is pushing the limit. Personally, my burner can handle 689m (that's the most i've tested), but it can't handle the newer ISO's. Why? Who cares. I just know what it can not do. you can't just pack a cd rom that is (supposed) to be only 700m with 700m of data and give it no room for the sync. **shrug** I'll shut up before someone decides to call me a whiner again (wonderful example of the 'understanding staff at mandrake right?). I'm just waiting till i can get more cd's and burn a real os, one that supports it's customers, and respects them -- TJW: Head tech, Dreamless Realms Mud: http://dreamless.wolfstream.net Snippets http://dreamless.wolfstream.net/ Telnet dreamless.wolfstream.net:9275 The OLC Pages http://olc.wolfstream.net
Re: [Cooker] 9.0 Beta3, Beta4, RC1, RC2 - No Boot From Boot Floppy

I would favor the second option. Not likely on mine. 8.2 installed just fine, but beta 3, beta 4, RC1, RC2 all did the same thing as above with me, except Beta 3 created several zero byte files on the floppy. No zero byte files on the three latter, but same error message when attempting boot as above. On all Is the floppy full? What happens when you try to copy the contents to the hd? And when you try to mount it? And when you try to read the files on it? four 9.0 installs, installation boot was initiated from floppy, network.img on the first, and hd.img on the latter three.

When no one answers on this list, it generally means that either: 1- the bug is likely to be invalid (happens when only one person reports something which is unlikely to happen) 2- the bug is considered non important, or we have more important bugs pending 3- the reporter doesn't report enough information 4- the reporter writes 200 lines talking about his life, so no one bothers wasting time to read 5- it would need much investigation from the reporter and we consider it would be a useless effort to try to initiate it 6- we don't have the knowledge to fix it 7- serveral people reported the same problem but the reports are inconsistent with each other 8- a similar problem has recently been fixed and the reporter doesn't clearly specify the version of software with failure (of course, I may have forgotten other situations ;p) In this situation, I'd favor `2', but it's true that the problem also needs investigation from the people involved. Also, a big problem is that floppies are very likely to have hardware failures. Many times with similar bugs we spent time trying to investigate, just to see that it was only due to h/w failure, so most of the times we don't bother. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
