Ahhh... this is something new for 9.0 tho, right?  Not being a postfix 
guy myself, I'm pretty sure that 8.2's install was not chrooted, so 
this must be new for 9.0.  That piece was written on and for 8.2... =)

mostly because it would be tremendously tedious and still not
foolproof.  I would need to sift all of /etc, /var and /home to backup
all user and locally changed config files, and I would still run the
risk that re-instating one of these changes would put me right back
where I am now.

Besides, I thought only Windows resorted to "reformat and reinstall
everything" as a solution ;)

On the plus side, if I must do this, I will have the opportunity to
convert my usr partition to ext3, but on the downside, out of two
machines in our lab running Mandrake, /both/ were hopelessly corrupted
upgrading to 9.0.  

I could excuse my own machine's woes because it has years of cruft and
impatient hacks in it, but the other was a clean 8.2 install yet it
exhibits all the same upgrade failure symptoms.  That does not bode
well for 9.0.  At the very least, it would be nice to know what
conditions caused the failure so it can be anticipated in 9.1

  FWIW, Netraverse now has a 9.0-friendly kernel package available. Since I'm 
actually running 9.0 RC 3 (as I could not get a new ISO since the "real" 
release), I had to grab the newer Mandrake 9.0-final kernel FIRST, but after

Most defenitly. upgrading like that won't work at all. You have  to  use
the upgrade via the instalation process.

After the first boot you have to update all changes  in  /etc  with  for
example etc-update (contribs)

But then again, it still is a tedious process that can easily fail.  The
best thing to do is to back up and to reinstall. But nobody ever listens
to that advice.

[Cooker] 9.0: How do I force a re-install?

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

It seems my update to 9.0 has pretty much fried my machine; there are
no obvious clues anywhere as to what is tripping over or where, things
just fail without warning or messages, and all over the place.  This
machine has gone from being the flagship workstation to being less
stable than the windows box.

Xscreensaver and Mozilla were just the tip of the iceberg.  Latest
example: I can no longer use any consoles in runlevel 5 because (a)
alt-shift-Fn will close the F7-based X session (but leave all the apps
alive) and (b) after the gdm daemon timeout, the chosen console shell
will be overridden by a return to X in console 7, so there's not
enough time to do any serious work in the console.

I have run binstats and rpm -Va, and nothing appears amiss, but I have
found a few stray libs not belonging to any known package and who knows
what cruft is in my /etc/ -- at the very least, all of gdm, XFree86,
gnome, gtk-pixbuf and libgcc have /very/ serious problems after the
9.0 upgrade.

If I run the install program, choose "Update" and then jump into the
shell and wipe /lib /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/local/lib, will
the installation realize the installed packages are invalid and
re-install them? I want to avoid losing everything on this disk but
I'm running out of alternatives.

Is there any other cleaner way to induce the installation process to
run rpm -Uvh --force to do complete updates of /all/ installed distro
packages?

Is your EDITOR emacs or vi?  I can only get it to work properly with
vi.  And that's not a Mandrake issue, it's a design issue in crontab
that has been around for a long, long time.

I'd like to point out that I was not trying to harass the guy into
shutting up unless he can fix the problem himself. I was simply making a
suggestion that he get more involved in the process if he felt the
issues were that important. From his original e-mail, it sounded to me
like he was fed up with sending reports and wanted a fix -- who better
to fix the problem than himself since he's obviously concerned about it.

Now, on to a solution to his ATI problems:

Disable DRI by commenting out the following lines in your
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file:

Load "glx"
Load "GLcore"
Load "dri"

Reboot the machine, and let us know if you're still having problems.

Re: [Cooker] LM9.0: Pbm with /sbin/ifup script

[Richard Tango-Lowy]

Frederic,

Thanks for the debug work. I commented out the lines you suggested and
it fixed the DHCP problem I've been having since beta1.

check_link_down() in network-functions is

check_link_down ()
{
if [ -x /sbin/mii-tool ]; then
   LC_ALL=C ip link show $1 2>/dev/null| grep -q UP || ip link set
$1 up >/dev/null 2>&1

   # wait for link to come up
   sleep 5
   mii-tool >/dev/null 2>&1 || return 1

   for (( try=0; try<10; try++ ))
   do
   sleep 1
   if LC_ALL=C mii-tool $LINK $1 2>&1 | grep -vqs "no link";
then
   return 1
   fi
done
fi
return 0
}

For some reason, (to state the obvious,) it's always failing.

Rich

That surprised me as it has always been working with previous version

plugging it to my laptop, no pbm.

After investigation I found out that the following code in /sbin/ifup

I commented it out and it's all ok now.

Thank you!
I was just struggling with my Logitech Optical wheel mouse when your email 
happened to arrive.

Your suggestion works tickety-boo with this mouse.  Perhaps this ought to be 
put in the mouse menu in the next revision as nothing else except "standard" 
works and that doesn't give me the use of the wheel.

[Cooker] mdk9.0 KDE start problem. NSPLUGINSCAN crashed. dcopserver not running.

[gonfer gas]

Hi you guys: first, let me tell you, this is the first
install that went ZERO trouble for me... it always
crashed when i tried to do a boot disk, NICE WORK!!!.
Anyway, i thougt i could work with the new 9.0 but my
happiness ended when i tried to load KDE. After log
in, and before the "loading" window apeared, i
recieved a chash message. "NSPLUGINSCAN crashed,
signal 11". i thougt that it was only a minor problem,
but when the loading window apeared, i recieve another
error message: "... /.DCOPserver_my.server_0 
please check dcopserver program running". And then the
X server was restarted.
So now i'm on windows and will wait for your answer. 
PLEASE, tell me how can i get the errorlogs so i can
send them to you.
thanks for your time.

Re: [Cooker] Error rebuilding kdebase

[Kenton Groombridge]

With the current setup of the .spec file, you can't rebuild kdebase 
(without errors anyway) without uninstalling it first.

You can uninstall kdebase with rpm -e --nodeps kdebase, rebuild and 
install it, and that should be ok.  Recommend doing it with X not running.

Yes, I commented out the BuildConflicts line so that I could cuild it.

The relevant section of the spec file that calls for these files is below.  It 
looks like it thinks these are doc files.  I believe they are config files.

%dir %_datadir/config/kdm/
%config(noreplace) %_datadir/config/kdm/kdmrc
%doc %_datadir/config/kdm/README
%doc %_datadir/config/kdm/Xreset
%doc %_datadir/config/kdm/Xsetup
%doc %_datadir/config/kdm/Xstartup
%doc %_datadir/config/kdm/Xwilling

Perhaps this section should be changed to this

%dir %_datadir/config/kdm/
%config(noreplace) %_datadir/config/kdm/kdmrc
%doc %_datadir/config/kdm/README
%config(noreplace) %_datadir/config/kdm/Xreset
%config(noreplace) %_datadir/config/kdm/Xsetup
%config(noreplace) %_datadir/config/kdm/Xstartup
%config(noreplace) %_datadir/config/kdm/Xwilling

I don't get how the distro package could be compiled though if this were the 
case.  I am assuming this src.rpm was the one created by the build process.  
Perhaps that is a wrong assumption.

It happens. I knew a guy who managed to have almost every single piece
of hardware he bought be defective. Once he brought it back to the store
and got a new one, things would be fine! (And no, most stores don't
react well if you ask them to give you another one _right away_:-)

But seriously. I've used serial (logitech pilot mouse), ps/2 (logitech
trackman marble / +, 'some clone' trackball, obscure free mouse that
came with a machine) and usb (another logitech). None of them gave me
any trouble. My current "InputDevice" section (Mandrake 9.0 install,
with the aforementioned trackman marble+) reads as follows:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

A non-wheel mouse would have the protocol set to "PS/2" (and probable
could do without the ZAxisMapping line), but apart from that this
setting should work with most any modern PS/2 mouse. 

hth,

kdebase has some broken dependencies for sure.

It provides what it conflicts on.

The following will fix it, but it makes you wonder how they package such
broken packages in the first place.

It's easier to fix than that - the FAQ says CC the maintainer.
If that is not the desired action, change the FAQ.
If there are some people with enough authority to not be bound by
MDK policies, put their names in the FAQ at the same place where
it says to CC the maintainer as exceptions to the rule.

But don't yell at people for FOLLOWING the FAQ.

Note - I do know that this thread started from someone only partially
following the rules (he didn't bother to get the correct name first as
the FAQ says to do). For THIS PART ONLY a reprimand may have been in order.

As long as the FAQ says to CC then the developer's wishes are irrelevant.

You know what ?  Exactly the opposite fixed it.  I just switched it from the 
96 dpi TO System setting.

Now it is behaving properly.

Did you modify the .spec file so you didn't have to uninstall kdebase

The original error has now gone away, but again the rpmbuild process dumps out 
at the end with the following errors posted below.  I have looked and indeed 
the files referenced do not exist.  They do exist however in my 9.0 
installation in the appropriate place.  I have looked in the spec file and 
can see in the %files section where these files are being tested for, but I 
don't see in the sources where they are being created.

I don't get it.  Shouldn't just be able to do an rpm --rebuild 
kdebase-3.0.3-68mdk.src.rpm and get the exact same package. If I am using the 
same spec file (indeed the src.rpm created by the build) as the person that 
successfully built the distributed package, shouldn't I get the sme answer.

Youre using the Mandrake ICS tool to share a commectio to more than 239
hosts (the max a default Mandrake ICS install should support)?

On any small to medium network, I would rather use the MNF (much finer

Yuo did try the button with the two arroews on it, which if you hold the

Reinstalling normally doesn't help , since if you stuffed it up the first
time, you will probably stuff it up the same way the next time.

Maybe you should post in a clear fashion wexactly what it is you are
trying to accomplish, why yuo need a calss A net, which NIC is intrenal,
which is extrernal, how you configured the external one, whether you set
up shorewall etc.

And before you send it off, please decide whther you think it is a bug
report (in whihc case send it here), or a request for help, in which case
you should *definitely* not send it here, there are better places for
that.

[Cooker] 9.0 BigBug(tm) with DrakNet with 2 NIC

[denis bergeron]

I made a fresh install of Mdk9.0 on a computer with two NIC (Tulip
and  and another one ) the eth0 it's connected on the internet (cable
modem with DHCP adress) and the eth1 (10.0.0.1) it's connected on my
lan. I have the same setup for the last five years.

Each time I install Linux I always give the same setup.
This time something^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H everything was wrong.

First Mandrake 9.0 don't give me the choice of giving an adress to
the eth1, I try like usual to give the 10.0.0.1 (a big private
network must be on the 10.x.x.x class A) MDK9 ask me to use an adress
like 192.168.20.1 . I say OK, I enter 192.168.20.1 MDK say who must
give 192.168.20.1 . So I said FUCK YOU MANDRAKE THAT'S WHAT I GIVE
YOU ASSHOLE ! I'm under a bad moon today. 
So I ask Mandrake to use dhcp for eth1 (even if I don't have dhcp
server on this network) It's take 5 minute longer to boot, but It's
not an big thing.

When I boot, I have access to the internet so I download some usefull
program (Turboprint), install It and after that try to install some
package for the CD... Oups no CD... I reboot CD was there. I Install
some package (xawtv whom are not selectable from the install) and I
go to the Drak Configuration Tools to install the router software...
Everything was ok... except that I don't have access to the internet
after that.

Each time I try to access internet, mandrake try to access via the
LAN insteed of using the cable modem, event if my resolv.conf look
good, I receive an Adress from the DHCP and all information from the
DHCP server on the Cable Modem...

I try everything I know, I felling very very mad about the new
"Draknet feature" in MDK 9.

I don't know If I will try something or reinstall MDK 9 or anything
else someone have an idea.

AFAICR, the issue with his NIC was resolved to be an upstream change for
the driver by the maintainer. Nothing was herad back afterwards, so either
he went off to mail the maintainer, or he dropped it.

Unfortunately, if issues like this come up late in the beta testing, they
are difficult to resolve, since there are only so many kernels yuo can go
through during beta ...

I am not sure if this is related to the problems with the Radeon 7500,
which I took a fair look at. Knoppix (fastest way to test another distro)
worked fine on the machine, with decent fps numbers in gears.

RH 7.3 worked fine, also with 3d. Mandrake 9.0RC2 (AFAICR), died with a
blank screen, until I managed to install RH7.3's X on to the box. XFdrake
then configured it just fine, and I had working 3d also,. I didn't do
extensive testing, since it wasn't my box.

Renaming /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/multimedia/theatre_drv.o als fixed things
in Mandrake 9.0RC2.

Problem is that other people like GC do like the separate CC.

The following simple procmail rule should resolve your issue:

/dev/null

Now any messages which cooker appears in the To or CC fields that comes
to your email box will get trashed.  If you want you could point it to
another box and save it for testing purposes to make sure it works
right.  But it ought to.

P.S. Why does Mandrake have to have so many domain names that people use

Well, your network card issue was apparently a kernel thing (IIRC). The
maintainer of the driver had set it to be singlue duplex because of issues
in full duplex. You could have contacted the driver maintainer to find out
if it is still applicable, and find some test cases and prove that it is
no longer an issue, then ask Juan to set it back to full duplex.

And if it does work in a different distro with a 2.4.19 kernel, you could
always try and track down their patch. Down load their kernel srpm, check
the changelog, and the patches for an obvious patch.

How about you do what every one else does, aka RTFM, and see that you
should hit the sync button, wait a few seconds, then hit tell the software
to let rip.

If you can do it better, let's see your patch for the usb-serial / visor
module in the kernel.

Mandrake doesn't write the drivers - they use open source gatos drivers, it's 
these ati.2 gatos drivers that are the cause of this. I'd be willing to bet 
3d acceleration doesn't work with redhat and this card. That's the trade off, 
use gatos dri and switching to X from virtual console or full screen vmware 
will kill X. Use standard ati drivers and don't have 3d, but have the ability 
to switch virt consoles/X.

If 3d accelleration is working with redhat, I would like to know what they are 
using.

I hate hearing that response, sounds like something microsoft would say if

[Cooker] 9.0 - Mozilla 1.1 shift-click failures

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

This one is repeatable with LM9.0 and Mozilla 1.1:

Go to http://elisp.info/package/xml-rpc/ and shift-click on
the elisp file, select a location to save the file, hit OK and
kaboom, no more mozilla, no core, no segfault messages, nothing.

This worked fine with RC1

It's a known Mozilla problem with large blocks of text. There was a thread
'mozilla up&down' here about 10 days ago which thrashed it out.

A fix is to do Edit | Preferences, then go to Appearance, then Fonts, then
change the Display Resolution from 'System setting' to a fixed value (eg '96
dpi').

[Cooker] 9.0 - Mozilla 1.1 - Occasional wierdo font thing, very repeatable

[allen]

I have an AMD 1Ghz, about 300MB RAM,
Voodoo3 AGP, about 20GB HDD IDE.

9.0 Final

RC1 and 9.0 Final Mozilla 1.1

Quite often when browsing around the web, a pice of 
text somewhere in the page will be "wierded out".

The frequency of this problem is... almost guaranteed to happen
reading a long news article... somewhere in one line or so, some
portion of text will come out strange-ified.

When I highlight this text in the html page, it appears normal,
and after turning off the highlight, the font remains fine/legible.
( Like, it renders the font into video memory bad, and then 
  under certain circumstances it must re-render the video memory
  and will fix itself )

Another aspect of this problem is that it appears to be related
to Scrolling in the page.  Scrolling back very slowly I can 
sometimes get the particular broken text to rectify itself.
( Very telling what's really going on in the guts of the rendering
  engine )

The problem appears limited to Mozilla 1.1

What do you think ?  Legitimate bug ?  Or maybe my AMD has that
64MB thingy problem...  and I should do something to my lilo.conf...

Interesting; I have tried 3button mice from PC Concepts, RadioShack,
those bundled with IBM and Compaqs, and others and have always been
left with one dud button.  I have a similar problem with other
hardware, everything from sound cards (I have the /only/ model of
Turtle Beach that doesn't work) to digital cameras; maybe I just have
a 6th Sense when it comes to selecting incompatible hardware.

Using XFdrake, neither 4.2.1 X qas useable (see parent message). 
Selecting 3.3.6 worked as tested by XFdrake, but not on re-booting the 
partition.

The only X error message was now "waiting for X server to shut down".

[Cooker] 9.0 - Voodoo 3 - "No devices detected"

[Ron Stodden]

This machine has a Voodoo 3 (generic) Video card and a Viewsonic P776 
monitor.   Both are properly detected.

During install the video test shows a fullscreen white (ie no colour), 
and I OKed that.

During boot X will not come up at all "EE No devices found"

Running XFdrake as root gives the same result.   Changing resolutions 
makes no difference

This problem was in 9.0rc2, was rectified in 9.0rc3 but has returned in 9.0

I claimed 9.0 was a disaster, this is one reason, the other reason was 
the missing hdlist2.cz, now rectified.

9.0 is unusable on this machine, 8.2 is fully functional.

Am I not to complain?

Hmmm... I had similar results at LUG for our install-day. I think I have a 
possible theory about it, but I need some more data from you to back it up. 
What brand CDs and what brand burner are you using?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.  When the patch didn't show up in the 
SOURCES directory, I thought for sure I had a bug in the SPEC file or 
something.  I ran the above command and the patch was listed though.  

I deleted everything in the build-root, SOURCES and BUILD directories and I'll 
have another go at it.

  9.0 is the best Mandrake ever, rock solid.  Gnome2 has a great look and
feel.  Whoever said it was a windoz breaker was right on.  I put my money
where my mouth is a couple of days ago and ordered the powerpack.  Hope
many others do the same.  Mandrake is the best distro on the planet, IMHO.

Dale Huckeby

[Cooker] I hate to admit it . . .

[Robert Fox]

DISCLAIMER:  This is NOT intended to be negative about Mandrake 9.0 and
please don't flame me.  I am just frustrated that some of the problems
which I saw during the Beta phase were not resolved.

Mandrake 9.0 is great, no question.  Although I try other distros to
stay on top of things - I am most comfortable with Mandrake and their
ways.  I really like 9.0 - but I am a bit disappointed about two issues.

I have been a frequent contributer to this list for quite some time -
and I have repeatedly reported several "irritating" issues I have (more
with notebook stuff) - I guess you can call them bugs, but not everybody
will come across these problems - and experienced Linux users can find
workarounds (except for the ATI Radeon problem)

Specifically, I have TWO different notebooks - an older Gateway 9150XL
with a Xircom RealPort 10/100 PC-Card and a CS46XX sound chipset.  The
other notebook is relatively new - a Compaq Evo N600c with an ATI Radeon
M6 graphic chipset.

My problems are as follows (even with the FINAL Mandrake 9.0):

On the Gateway - the sound configuration after initial install sometimes
is screwy and echos several times - and most boot ups it works well, but
every once and a while it loads the wrong modules (OSS) instead of the
Alsa stuff.  More annoying is with the Xircom Realport card - which I
reported many times before during the development process - During
install it works fine, but after install it only initializes in
HALF-DUPLEX mode.  Under RedHat 8.0 , SuSE 8.0, and Winblows products on
the very same machine I don't have these issues.

Now for the the Compaq Evo N600c - and the ATI Radeon M6 - which I also
reported a few times on this list.  When 9.0 is installed on this
notebook - the graphics work fine!  But if I change to a console
(Ctrl-Alt-F1) and then back to the X session (Ctrl-Alt-F7) the X locks
up (as well as the keyboard!) and the system becomes unusable (and YES I
tried the ALT-SysRQ-R magic keys without success). Even SSHing into the
notebook and killing the X (init 3 for example) doesn't help.  

I just tried RedHat 8.0 on the same Compaq notebook and it works without
a flaw with the Radeon Mobility M6 chipset.  Also the font aliasing
under Redhat is consistent throughout and looks very nice.

I have to admit, when I use Redhat or SuSE - I don't feel at "home" -
because I like Mandrake's offering better as a WHOLE.  But because the
ATI Radeon problem I have - I can't use Mandrake's latest and greatest
on this particular notebook 

I wish some of these things were caught during the Cooker phase and I
hope and pray they will be quickly resolved.  The devil is truly in the
details!

I understand the enormous challenges of creating a solid, bug free
distribution - but these kind of little details shouldn't slip through.

I am still and remain a dedicated user (and hope to contribute to the
next round of Cooker)

I thank you all for your time.

Either get the patch (ie from cvs), or don't try and build the SRPM:

# rpm -bb --short-circuit `rpm --eval %_specdir`/kdebase.spec

Does the patch not get listed with 'rpm -qlp' run on the SRPM?

Re: [Cooker] LM9.0: Setting up LVM

[Alan Hughes]

The problem with having / on an LVM volume set is that LILO can't handle it.
Take this scenario as an example: mt LVM volume set spans 3 disks, that
means a root file system could potentially be on any of those disks. LILO
would have to analyse the LVM volume set and work it out - a lot of work for
a boot loader.

Bear in mind that LILO does not strictly support software RAID root
partitions (although you can get around the problem for RAID-1 only).

Glad you sorted your problem out anyway.

Re: [Cooker] Postfix + SASL problem

[Marco Romeny]

  alright,
my first ever rpm:
http://www.mimecom.net/postfix/postfix-plus-saslauthd-0.1-1mdk.src.rpm

description: Enables a chroot:ed Postfix
to authenticate with the saslauthd method,
which in turn can use pam, shadow etc.

what I did here: 
- at install-time, copy sasl-libraries to 
postfix' chroot-tree.
- patched /etc/init.d/saslauthd to hardlink
smtpd.conf and the /var/lib/sasl/mux 
socket at start.

this doesn't feel so good
I'd much rather made an own initscript
just for the linking/copying, but since there 
are no good hooks to know when another
service is restarting I chose to do it this 
way.

I could definetly need some help with making
a better, valid .spec as well as suggestions
for the do/don'ts in the spec.
rc.d/init.d or just init.d ??  etc.

comments, suggestions, harrassements?

I not sure what you mean. As far as my experience goes, _all_ three
button mice work fine with X/linux. Though having Emulate3Button on
might interfere with the correct functioning of a real three-button
mouse. And of course all wheel-mice work fine, with the wheel
functioning as third button.

My Logitech trackman marble(+) is a great trackball, and works fine in X

Re: [Cooker] msec 4 and gnome

[Richard Tango-Lowy]

Gnome logs in and the fam output repeats the following errors over and
over:

fam: +chdir to "/home/richtl/.gnomm2/vfolders/applications"
fam: can't chdir("//home/richtl/.gnomm2/vfolders/applications") no such

and the same for .gnome2/vfolders and .gnome/mime-info.

I created the missing directories and gnome now works properly.

Question: who creates these folders and why weren't they created on my

[Cooker] LM9.0: Emulate3Buttons not kept

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

This is a minor bug, but a bug nonetheless: The 9.0 install process
failed to retain Emulate3Button in the XFConfig-4 usbmouse setting.

In all my years, I have never encountered a 3-button mouse that
actually works with Linux.  The closest I ever found was a mouse that
you had to hold down the button during X initialization, which is
hardly practical (I believe someone later released code to hack this
test) 

Are there such things as /real/ 3-button Linux mice?  I figure there
must be, but have never seen any brands recommended.  Are there any
3-button trackballs?

[Cooker] One more opinion about Mandrake-9.0

[Claudio]

Hello Mandrakers ;-)
I've read many comment about latest 9.0 but just yesterday and today I
could install and test this new version. I have even seen many flames, and
even if I see some bugs (eg. quota won't work on ext3 fs), I have only to
appreciate the great work developers have done.
I like very very much this release: seems to be very stable, up-to-date
and full of innovation. So, we all shouldn't forger that this is a .0
release and should instead be happy for such a wonderful work.
Thanks again, then.

The last line explain the problem, i think... Is it a bug in the "visor"
module ? I know that it exists patches for the visor module in order to
make work Clié but i thought that it was already included in the latest
mdk kernel? Is it? 
I don't have this error when i do my FIRST hotsync. If i try to sync it
the first time with jpilot, the Clié sends me an error : "Your hotsync
software can't use palmOS 4.1 passwords, please, upgrade it".

Softs can't use palmOS 4.1 ? I have used (without results) jpilot,

Perhaps could it be possible to make such a light modification in the

[Cooker] LM9.0: Dynamic mount of USB devices

[Frederic Soulier]

Hi

On a fresh installation of LM9.0, I plugged in my USB camera and after a
few seconds the dynamic link on the desktop appeared, excellent! (by the
way I'm using KDE).
If I click on it, an empty konqueror opens. If I open konqueror and then
browse to /mnt/camera I can see my pictures.

I unplug the camera, the dynamic link does not disappear...

After a reboot, if I plug in the camera again I do not get any dynamic
link and there is nothing in /mnt/camera...

Basically it sort of worked the very first time and now it's borked...

Any idea?

Installed LM9.0 using LVM with no problem.

Try to boot from both, triggered millions of errors because it can't

Let me know what log/config files you're interested in and I can send
them privately.

Note: pretty critical 'cos I do not have any working boot floppies right

[Cooker] LM9.0: Pbm with /sbin/ifup script

[Frederic Soulier]

Hi

I installed LM9.0 yesterday on a box with 1 NIC (eth0). I selected
Dynamic IP Address at boot. At the 1st reboot after install eth0 would
not come up:

msg displayed:
Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present.  Check
cable?

That surprised me as it has always been working with previous version
and it actually worked fine 2h before on 8.2. I checked the cable by
plugging it to my laptop, no pbm.

After investigation I found out that the following code in /sbin/ifup
that calls the check_link_down in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions is the culprit...

I commented it out and it's all ok now.

if [ -n "$DYNCONFIG" ]; then
echo -n $"Determining IP information for ${DEVICE}..."

# !
# FRED: Check with MandrakeSoft was's wrong! Very Important
# !
#if check_link_down ${DEVICE}; then
#   echo $" failed; no link present.  Check cable?"
#   ip link set ${DEVICE} down >/dev/null 2>&1
#   exit 1
#fi

if $DHCP_CLIENT $DHCP_ARGS ; then
echo $" done."
else
echo $" failed."
exit 1

Yes, me and François Pons and Clié synchronization work perfectly :))

But you MUST use /dev/ttyUSB0, not /dev/ttyUSB1, because some Clié are not
reporting the correct port.. Be sure also to remove any password on your
clié, I think it is not supported by pilot-link yet..

[Cooker] mdk9 not compatible with code developed in mdk8.2

[Cláudio Roger]

hi
this my BIG problem !!!
i have been developing severall programs using the development packages
of MDK 8.2
This aplications use:
gtkmm1.2
gtk+extramm1.9.7
and glade



Now i installed MDK 9.0 and ofcourse gcc3.x don't work so i add the
gcc2.x packages to the system and try to compile

and all go well until the link part where i get this msg:

This is usually a bad idea to follow this pattern, especially if your are 
installing identical versions of OOo, install database gets corrupt and/or 
OOo thinks it's already installed.

Don't remove ~/.bashrc which is meant for bash, not OOo. OOo related files 
are ~/.sversionrc, ~/.user60.rdb.

Your are trying to install OOo with some other locale setting (env | grep 
LC_) than what is currently installed, here that fallbacked to English 
whereas you haven't installed -l10n-en subpackage.

~/.openoffice/user/work is a symlink to the user's home directory. 
Otherwise, when opening files the user would default to some OOo sub 
hierarchy.

I think this is fixable without a symlink. I will have a look for -10mdk.

You can't really, as the offcial download ISOs are the GPL part of the 
powerpack ISOs, and these are built with commercial applications, that may
have influences regarding package ordering.

However you will be able to have quite similar ISO with the 9.0.conf file
in misc/doc/ dir.

mkcd -s 9.0.conf -m 11-13

Yes. You must use the --separate flag for the --sources flag of the --auto options

That is to say:

mkcd --auto --sources --separate /install /RPMS /SRPMS

or, in short format

mkcd -a -s -s /install /RPMS /SRPMS

The trick in mkcd is that each option can itself be a command with its own
options, that is to say that -s -a  is very different from -a -s.

How new are the Cliés involved?

I have a T675 which wouldn't work; this was no surprise as the model is
brand new and the kernel modules could not possibly have caught up with any
peculiarities it happened to have.

However, I bought a Hama memory stick reader, attached it to a USB port, and
it works like a charm; I don't bother even attaching the Clié to the PC now.
(I never hotsynced my old Clié, a T425, in any case, always reading and
writing directly to the Memory Stick).

I've just spent 5 hours myself trying to get my Sony Clie to work with
Mandrake 9.0 Dolphin, with no luck.  I was able to get pilot-xfer to talk to
my sony to *start* backing up my pilot database, but then it locks my mouse

I agree with Pierre that there might be a bug in the visor module.

Anybody else have a Sony Clie?

Hello,
I've some problems with my Sony Clié (Palmos 4.1) under linux...
When I try to hotsync it, i've this in my /var/log/messages :

The last line explain the problem, i think... Is it a bug in the "visor"
module ? I know that it exists patches for the visor module in order to
make work Clié but i thought that it was already included in the latest
mdk kernel? Is it? 
I don't have this error when i do my FIRST hotsync. If i try to sync it
the first time with jpilot, the Clié sends me an error : "Your hotsync
software can't use palmOS 4.1 passwords, please, upgrade it".

Softs can't use palmOS 4.1 ? I have used (without results) jpilot,
kpilot, etc...

Having grepped chroot with no success in /etc/init.d/postfix with no success,

Here is a more extensive list of what i would like to be included in MDK 
HOWTO:
-exaustive list of high-levels macros (hig-level means %make_install_std, not 
%_bunzip), with mention of which one are mdk specific
- more details about mdk policy enforced by rpmlint, such as the error message 
mentionned above
- details about some internal mdk setup, such as the autoconf wrapper
- corrections about %ghost macro (maybe already done, i didn't checked)
- some tips'n'trick about commonly found situations and their usual solutions, 
such as the dreaded "libtool: unrecognized option `--tag=CXX'" problem, or "
libGLcore.so.1 requirement for nvidia buildhost", to help us poor mortals

Subject: drip compiling problem
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2002 15:28:53 +0200
From: Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've found the cause of problems building drip

The first output result (output.ok) from manual compilation, while the second
result from rpm building compilation (output.ko). The only difference comes
from use of -fPIC -DPIC in second case.

My question is how can those flags slips in, whereas i only use manual
configure && make calls in spec files (aka not macros %configure && %make),
without exporting any env var ? And how can i prevent them from getting there
?
