Re: [Cooker] OpenOffice install problems after RC2 upgrade

Re: [Cooker] Zaurus syncing
Hi Todd, Well, it appears that the binary has something special with it because it gives me an error Illegal instruction. This is on a K6/2 500 box, so it's possible that it's an AMD issue. I'm attempting to test it on a higher AMD or an Intel chip based box. Try to recompile the src.rpm, but before change the optimization flags to mcpu and march=pentium (or i586) instead of mcpu/march=pentiumpro, this usually did the trick for me on K6/2. This has to be done in /usr/lib/rpm/macros or similar (grep mcpu/march /usr/src/rpm/* :-). (This might work in your own ~/.rpmrc as well, but I have not tested it.)

I remember in MDK 8.2 (even with the update to KDE 3.0.3) it was enough to click on Current Sessions Only only once. If I run Webmin in Mozilla (in RC2) it works.

[Cooker] Tons of printerdrake problems
First, without asking, it installs: libijs0, printer-filters, nc, foomatic, scli, gimpprint, printer-utils, and xpp, whether you need them or not. Also it does this in 3 (!) steps. It should wait until you've configured a printer, and only install the ones you need for it to work. Then, if you turn all the auto-detection off, and go to add a printer, it assumes it's a local printer, and doesn't give you the choice of it being a remote lpd printer or anything else. Finally, after adding a printer, going back and changing it to remote network printer, and trying the test page, I got lots of garbage. It's an HP LaserJet 4, which I selected. I probably should have just selected PostScript, but I remember older printerdrakes selecting postscript for you if you select a PS-capable printer. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Only problem is Alt-SysRq keys won't work. :( syncing the disk results in the machine trying (It starts to sync the disk) but will never finish, there is no HD activity. Then the keyboard will not respond anymore. Trying to get a process list, or memory stats will finish off the lock also. (as in it will become so useless that reset button is only thing working). If my first sysrq key is to reboot it will. I ran memtest yesterday and all memory is ok. Mandrake 8.1 has no problems on this machine. Heavy disk activity triggers the lock, like installing an RPM. :) It will always hard lock when installing the FlashPlayer-5.0-8mdk RPM. any suggestions? or specific sysrq keys you'd like me to try in locked up state?

Re: [Cooker] kernel-enterprise hard lock on 9.0rc2
We have consistently encountered hard system locks with all enterprise 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 kernels while transferring relatively large amount of data (images) either via ftp or NFS. We did NOT encounter any problems with the 2.4.8 enterprise kernel from ML 8.1, so we have been using that kernel with ML 8.2, until somebody finds a fix. We did not have any problem with the ordinary 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 kernels, so the problem is only found in the enterprise kernel. As an experiment I compiled one of the 2.4.18 enterprise kernels without the HIGHMEM option (the only change made). This kernel did not have the lock-ups, so I concluded that the problem had something to do with the HIGHMEM code. It is actually strange to me that this problem has been so little commented, considering the low prices on RAM. Does anybody know if this problem has been or will be fixed in 2.4.20 ?

What card and chipset do you have? Mine is GeForce2 GTS on a Via KT333. It could also be related to the AGPGART module you're using, the nVidia drivers can use the AGPGART supplied with kernel or the nVidia one via an option in your XFree86 file (see their readme that comes with the drivers for exactly what this is) it might be worth trying that. failing that it could just be that you need a bios update, there's known bugs in via chipsets and AGP support for example. you could rule this out by trying the dreaded windows and some openGL/directX apps should you have it available.

RE: [Cooker] Postfix + SASL problem
Just an update. I ran across an idea from a forum on the net and put garbage in smtpd.conf and postfix/smtpd complains. That says smtpd is reading the file and permissions are ok. SASL apparently doesn't use what's there. I've tried it with pwcheck_method: pam, pwcheck_method: saslauthd, and pwcheck_method: sasldb. I still get: SASL LOGIN authentication failed. I copied an /etc/pam.d/smtp file from a friend's 8.1/8.2 system I helped set up, mine was removed when I upgraded, and no joy. I started saslauthd -pam -T -d (debug mode) and it gave no messages. (There is no documentaion on saslauthd switches. :-( My conclusion is that whoever packaged the postfix? rpm knows enough about what changed to remove /etc/pam.d/smtp and rename /usr/lib/smtpd.conf to smtpd.conf.rpmsave. Why do this? I think it's supposed to authenticate through saslauthd now, but it doesn't for some reason. Anyone have any clues? Bill Shirley PS.

Does it make a difference if you're running the 2.4.18-6mdk or 2.4.18.8.1mdk kernel? cp -f /etc/rc.d/rc.zaurus /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.usbmap. Otherwise it works just fine with your instructions on MUO. That's interesting--that one line fixing it. I would assume that I can make this work on 8.2 without having to resort to that hack. If I am wrong, well, then I am wrong :) If I knew a little more about hotplug, it seems like it would be possible to add a command that would fix this. As I understand the original document that I based mine on, the issue is that the acm module conflicts with the usbdnet module. So if I can forcibly unload acm, that should solve the problem for 8.2. In 9.0, it doesn't matter if the acm module is loaded or not. It works just fine either way. One thing I did notice is that packet counters are not updated for the usb0 device: [todd@fiji ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig usb0 usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 40:00:00:00:FF:07 inet addr:192.168.129.1 Bcast:192.168.129.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:260 (260.0 b) [todd@fiji ~]$ ping 192.168.129.1 PING 192.168.129.1 (192.168.129.1) from 192.168.129.1 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.129.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.044 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.129.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.046 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.129.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.027 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.129.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.028 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.129.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.054 ms --- 192.168.129.1 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% loss, time 3998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.027/0.039/0.054/0.013 ms [todd@fiji ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig usb0 usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 40:00:00:00:FF:07 inet addr:192.168.129.1 Bcast:192.168.129.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:260 (260.0 b) Interesting :) This is with the 2.4.19-12mdk kernel.

Re: [Cooker] kernel-enterprise hard lock on 9.0rc2
Bjarne Thomsen wrote: We have consistently encountered hard system locks with all enterprise 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 kernels while transferring relatively large amount of data (images) either via ftp or NFS. We heavily use NFS. The RPM's I was installing were on a NFS server. We did NOT encounter any problems with the 2.4.8 enterprise kernel from ML 8.1, so we have been using that kernel with ML 8.2, until somebody finds a fix. We did not have any problem with the ordinary 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 kernels, so the problem is only found in the enterprise kernel. Yep, same here. Only the 9.0 2.4.19 kernels have the problem. As an experiment I compiled one of the 2.4.18 enterprise kernels without the HIGHMEM option (the only change made). This kernel did not have the lock-ups, so I concluded that the problem had something to do with the HIGHMEM code. It is actually strange to me that this problem has been so little commented, considering the low prices on RAM. We had thought it was a hardware error so we ran a bunch of tests before we reported it. Does anybody know if this problem has been or will be fixed in 2.4.20 ? Bjarne Thomsen Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Aarhus Mandrake? any comment? or tips to resolve this?

The last message that is echoed to the syslog consol is: kernel: (scsi0:A:0:0): Locking max tag count at 64 after that the machine is dead. No ping, but keyboard works enough for Alt-SysRq stuff. Only problem is Alt-SysRq keys won't work. :( syncing the disk results in the machine trying (It starts to sync the disk) but will never finish, there is no HD activity. Then the keyboard will not respond anymore. Trying to get a process list, or memory stats will finish off the lock also. (as in it will become so useless that reset button is only thing working). If my first sysrq key is to reboot it will. I ran memtest yesterday and all memory is ok. Mandrake 8.1 has no problems on this machine. Heavy disk activity triggers the lock, like installing an RPM. :) It will always hard lock when installing the FlashPlayer-5.0-8mdk RPM. any suggestions? or specific sysrq keys you'd like me to try in locked up state?

Re: [Cooker] New Apache 2 Questions/Issues
Hey, you did a great job! =) It ticks! I owe you a couple of beers ;-) I take that as a promise :-) Now, I only have to find out how to send alcohol to Sweeden without it being confiscated at customs... Otherwise, I'll have to bring them myself ;-) Not until mod_perl and mod_php are stable enough. There are many issues right now, such as PHP pages remaining in browser cache, Apache-ASP, HTML-Embperl, Apache-SSI and Akxit not working. Ohh..., shit! I didn't know that..., I've been away from computers for some time hunting. Is it really _this_ serious?!?!?!?! It *is* serious. Many e-commerce sites use some perl modules heavily, and if they don't work, they can't upgrade. Thse are serious issues since PHP is used by 38% of websites and mod_perl by 36%. netcraft percentage? Yup, it was published in the latest Apache Week. I think these issues will be fixed in the following months, until then, Apache 2.0 will remain in the Contribs. Okidoki. BTW. I just went through your patches for the apache2 modules I submitted..., out of curiosity..., _how_ did you know what to fix? Most of the patches concern component registering, ie: putting the version of the module in the Apache version. This is needed for testing, otherwise we don't know if the module was loaded properly. These patches were made by myself, it's not hard when you know the API enough ;-) The other patches concern linking additional libraries, like libmysqlclient. In this case, you have to use ldd to make sure the libraries are linked correctly, and nm to find out what symbols are missing. Jean-Michel
