I dived into the problem yet again and found the real cause: gkb is here really to blame. My problems occur under the following conditions: 1. gkb is on panel 2. the first keyboard layout set in gkb is invoked via gkb_xmmap [code] command. 3. the error occurs after all subsequent session login - metacity will not focus. 4. The problem is eliminated by subsequent use of another layout via setxkbmap [code] command. Here is 100% reproducible case for you French. 1. Have Keyboard swithcer applet on panel. 2. Choose exactly one layout, and that would be French/French keymap 3. Logout and login, you have blocked focus. BUG! ... 4. Add a new layout, French/French xkb keymap. Delete the old one. 5. Logout and login. All ok. ... 6. Just for fun, delete the French xkb layout and add back French/French keymap (the one invoked via gkb_xmmap. Add another layout, say US, which is invoked via setxkbmap. The US layout should be second in order. 7. Logout and login. BUG! But after switching layout to US, all is ok again, even after switching back to the first French one. If you can't reproduce THIS, I am going to Paris to kill you :-) It is just several hours away from Czech republic! Using GNOME desktop. Metacity. 0. Changed from point to focus to click to focus. It does not happen with point to focus. 1. Already had switcher on panel (left out steps 2.-5. because I did not want to delete my existing config) 6. I put German keymap on top which uses gkb_xmmap. There are 4 other layouts, below this one. 7. Logout and login. Everything works. 8. Pressed on switcher until I rotated through once and was on German keymap again. BUG! Mozilla: When I click into the location bar, I get no cursor. Intersting things: - Until I saw it, I misunderstood the issue as having no window focus at all. But the Mozilla window gets focus for me, if I click in it. The widgets (e.g. the location bar) does not get the (cursor) focus. - It cures, if I switch to another desktop and back (i.e. the cursor starts to blink in one of the widgets and I can click to get it in a different widget). If I rotate through the switcher again, the focus starts to fail gain. - I had it once fail in step 7., but not always. But step 8. is reproducable every time for me. - It cures sometimes, but not always, if I switch to another keyboard layout. It cures always, if I logout/login after this. - I have changed quite some desktop configs from default. Therefore I am not able to say which configs exactly might influence this. - On my first try, my computer started to respond very slow (mouse hopping) for some minutes and finally mozilla crashed. Don't know if this is related at all, but usually Mozilla crashes not at all for me. OTOH, it never happened in the about 20 tries afterwards. - With some keyboard layouts, including German keymap, CTRL-SPACE (for the window manager menu), does not seem to work. It seems to never work, if German keymap is the first in the list, even if I choose a different layout by clicking on the panel. It seems to be the CTRL key, as other window manager shortcuts with CTRL do work neither. Let me know, which infos I can provide to further investigate this.

I grant that, but during installation every pkg that is selected will be installed irregardless of any conflict which may exist. That is probably necessary when RPMs have circular dependencies. But the proper solution for that is to co-install such RPMs in one run of urpmi or kpackage. Possibly related, possibly not. What is the point of directory /usr/postinstall-rpm? I must confess that I failed to examine my system this time, simply trusting the installer. Then I tried to run playmidi and when It would not run, did a slocate and came upon this directory. It contains a long list of uninstalled packages. It seems to me that an installer should either install a package or leave it on the cdrom instead of cluttering up drive space with it.

You could simply have them be 2 tabs on one interface. This would simplify things a lot. The name of the application (as invoked as 'rpmdrake' would simply set the tab to tab 2, and 'MandrakeUpdate' to tab 1, which is similar to how it's done already, except that they look too much like differnt applications when they are really one in the same). This would make the interface less confusing to newbies IMO (it is even confusing to me, and I have been using RPMS for years and years). Also, I can't seem to easily define urpmi sources in MandrakeUpdate like I used to, so I've resorted back to using the command line. Since I didn't really notice anything wrong with MandrakeUpdate in the first place, I personally can't say that the new one is worse or better, but I wish the interface was more like that of kpackage (or even gnorpm (same difference)). - -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9nbkPJB7s/tlHKVIRAhqTAJ0XE00UjcH8PhtHRsyD4n14nkXzmgCgh5g0 2763W5hLuVW79TIRtS31Ynw= =BTHq -END PGP SIGNATURE-
[Cooker] Bug handling survey - 80:20 rule
Hi all contributors of Mandrake, As you might have heard, I am conducting a bug handling survey on: http://www.seas.smu.edu/~gkoru/surveys/dhsurvey.html So far, we have received answers from the developers, testers, defects fixers, and project managers in KDE, GNOME, Apache, OpenOffice, Mozilla, and other projects/sub-projects. Even though, we have not asked any names or e-mails, some of you have left their contact information and expressed their willingness for further cooperation in this direction. Thanks for your interest so far. If you have not done so, we would appreciate it, if you could fill out this survey since statistically more and more meaningful interpretations can be made as your participation increases. It is a short survey which consists of three sections that can be filled at once or different sessions. Many of the questions in the survey were put there purposefully, and they will make you think about how they apply to Mandrake project. You will find them very interesting. One more time, this is a research project,which has many potential implications. This is NOT anything like a spam, it has no commercial nature and it is aiming to contribute to Mandrake just like any other e-mail. We are very dedicated to this research, whose only and only purpose is looking for ways of increasing the quality of open source products. We apologize in advance if you receive duplicates of this e-mail. 80:20 rule, which is the subject of this e-mail is a well observed phenomenon, in many of the large scale software products. These products were produced by IT, Telecom companies, even by NASA. They were developed following different methodologies, they were written in different languages, and the application domain or problems they solve were different. However, 80:20 rule was still observed. This means that you might be developing desktop applications, office software, compiler, kernel, http server, or whatever, most likely you will make a similar observation your project. I included two references at the bottom about it. Both of them are very easy to follow and informative. Also, they are very recent references. The numbers in 80:20 rule are percentages but not of the same quantity. 80% here represents 80% of the target risk, which might be defects, rework, effort, etc. So, you want to reduce them. 20% represents the contributor. You might want to name 20% as modules, component, packages, for the product if you will. A great deal of your goal in a project lies in this 80%. And the observations tell us that this 80% target risk stems from 20% of your modules, or components. If you could only identify this 20% part in what you develop, you would make substantial improvements in quality. The identification techniques could be a subject of another time. But, now, why is this important? Because, some projects never get to a desired level of quality, they can not meet their schedule. People code it, patch it, code it, patch it.. After some time users may loose trust, it may become something which is not manageable any more. So even though, the efforts are made by volunteer programmers, it is sad to see that potential is not used fully. Because these efforts could make even greater contribution to free software and they could end the software monopoly out there more quickly. I am one of those who observes the high amount of traffic in developers lists. This is huge. Everybody looks at one thing, sees it from a different point of view, designs are evaluated, code is tested, fixed, etc. Collaborating, sharing bring many advantages. There is big potential. I can easily tell that in many cases the communities are much larger than many software teams in the industry. So, how come the commercial software can still compete with open source products. One of the reasons is that they have been applying these techniques for years. Now think about the advantages of risk identification techniques and the advantages of open source development combined. Wouldn't it be great? This is where we see the tremendous opportunity. As concluding this e-mail, I repeat my invitation one more time. Please visit: http://www.seas.smu.edu/~gkoru/surveys/dhsurvey.html today/this weekend and help us in this research. If you want to see or remember my previous invitations, they are at the same address. By the way, if you have already completed it and want to change your answers (some did ask this issue) please contact me, we need to identify your unique entry and change it, please do not complete it twice.

printing will work agan also.
I have a production machine running 9.0RC2 with samba as wins server,

Please if this is running correctly share your smb.conf with us. At the verry
least we may get a few pointers as to how to get it all running like it
should be.
Depends on what you want it to do. 95% of the configuration I used was
uncommenting stuff that was in the default config. Besides that, one
change for profiles ('writeable = yes'), one change for ntlogon (add
trailing / to netlogon directory).
The rest was adding 3 other shares.
with 2.2.5, it would have had lots of patches (taken from 2.2.6 CVS) to
fix printing in 2.2.5
Ok I know I stated as of rc2 it was still working but now I'm running 9.0
final and not rc2 anymore.
Samba (AFAIK) didn't change between rc2 and final.
I really know nothing about the current samba code
and was not trying to say for you guys to patch anything. All I know is that
what ever it's doing now does not work. I will note printing does not work
using the very tools provided with mandrake.
Printing worked out the box for me ...
I'm not even using custom
samba.conf but the tools mandrake provides.
AFAIK, the closest any of the samba maintainers get to the samba wizard
is sending a good default smb.conf (which the wizard maintainers should
request before each release, since it seems they still have an old one
from 8.2, nothing would have broken, but more examples would be there,
and some more features out-the-box).
I hove done nothing extra at this
point but use the built in tool with the files it produces and I am running
9.0 final. I am using an epson printer that worked before. Where should I
look to but to the samba packages. Something is different. I don't know what
it is but it's broke if it doesn't work. Now if you have any ideas I will
give you any other information you need. Also attached is my current smb.conf

Dear Frederic and Maksim, Thanks for bringing it up. As you might understand, I am in contact with many projects. It is not easy to invite the developers in KDE, Gnome, Apache, OpenOffice and all major projects. I trust your understanding. Some of you might need to hit delete key a couple of times. We apologize for that. Related to SPAM issue, SPAM means unsolicited, uninvited mail which usually has a commercial nature. The e-mail I sent is directed to increase the quality just like any other e-mail sent to the lists. Another thing in the SPAM is, it is unsolicited, not required. I will argue that if my e-mail is not required than automatically none of the e-mails will be required in this list. Just like any one, I am expressing useful ideas, which has great potential impacts. I think it is an important right for everyone in this list. I think we need to respect each other's rights. Because once we remove this right, even indirectly, then there is nothing left. I hope i could anwer your concerns. If you haven't done so, I invite you to participate in the survey. If you have further questions please to contact me individually.

[Cooker] 8.2 - 9.0 = NV/X troubles!
Hi people, Just wanted to tell you my little story about upgrading my main machine. Maybe it can be solved. I upgraded my own desktop, a Athlon 1.4GHz, 512MB RAM, NVidia GeForce2 DDR. In 8.2, I had the NVidia GLX-package and NVidia kernel installed. After upgrade, I had a hell of a time getting it all to work. Since the nvidia-driver for X isn't shipped with Mandrake, it thought it would use the nv-driver. It didn't. But when I changed XFConfig-4 to use the nv driver, X just exited with a signal 11. Pretty confusing. So, after a little playing around, I decided to reboot into that other OS and download the NVIDIA-GLX en NVIDIA-kernel packages from MandrakeClub (never been happier about being a member!) and after install and changing some of the values I changed to get it to work and running XFdrake, it finally worked again. Knowing a bit about Linux and kernels and (especially important) the NVdriver, I was able to fix the problem. But there are a lot of Mandrake-users who wouldn't be able to. I don't know if this can be fixed in 9.1 or anything, but I just wanted to report it. Maybe it helps someone :) -- Regards, Tim Stoop PGP public key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Random quote/fortune: But Huey, you PROMISED! Tell 'em I lied.

[Cooker] mdk 9.0 will not run in smp mode.
I have a msi k7d-master mobo and dual athlon 1ghz mp processors, I have installed the full release (pending the arrival of my preordered dvd powerpack) things went smoothly, untill it booted for the first time. while initilazing the kernel around the acpi functions the bootstrapping process loops and the computer resets. I have tried stripping it down to the base of components, just mobo, ram and vid card. still no smp boot. I have tried playing with the acpi settings in the bios still no smp boot. It will boot in single processor mode, how and where can I chek the log to see exactly what it going on when trying to boot in smp mode and the computer resets. how do I get dual processor mode working?

As for urpmi, I presume you are talking about rebuilding an RPM and when the rpm gets upgraded upstream, urpmi --auto-select wants to use the precompiled version. In that case, the best course is probably to edit your /etc/urpmi/skip.list and ignore that package, but keep track of the changelog list, so you know when to download a new version of the SRPM.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 9.0 and I845G and DMA
I investigated that problem some time ago (we have the same problem with an ASUS P4B533 MB). The problem seems to be that the PCI device has not been properly initialized by the BIOS (not a big help to know). I discovered that Alan Cox had re-written a C-source file in 2.4.20-pre7-ac3 that contained a function for initializing the pci device in case the BIOS had 'forgotten. I did not try the AC kernel because I am not sure that it has support for the XFS that I am using. Does anybody know if there is support for XFS in official Linus kernels? And I did not dare just to copy the file into the Mandrake kernel. The source file had also had its name changed. I may have a look at it, again.

After upgrade, I had a hell of a time getting it all to work. Since the nvidia-driver for X isn't shipped with Mandrake, it thought it would use the nv-driver. It didn't. But when I changed XFConfig-4 to use the nv driver, X just exited with a signal 11. Pretty confusing. So, after a little playing around, I decided to reboot into that other OS and download the NVIDIA-GLX en NVIDIA-kernel packages from MandrakeClub (never been happier about being a member!) and after install and changing some of the values I changed to get it to work and running XFdrake, it finally worked again. A few things that possibly can clarify the issue a) The NVidia drivers are proprietary and as such can't be shipped with Mandrake (at least with the download edition) b) the official nv driver at present does not work with the Geforce2Go c) there is a vesion of the nv driver in the Xfree86 CVS that works with your card, but I think without 3D acceleration (for more information, consult the archive of the linux-dell-laptop mailing list on Yahoo groups) d) At the time of rc3 I've made some NVidia rpm's (trivially rebuilds of the sources on that system) that TeXstar has uploaded on his site; in a while the NVidia official packages for 9.0 should be available from their website, but if needed I or someone else could make available their packages e) possibly we need to setup a contrib site for newbies: as soon as Mandrake ships with a new release, non-free drivers with detailed instruction on how to use them (for instance with nvidia you have to choose runlevel 3 etc.) must appear there.

Hi there, Well, don't know how I did it, but it's fixed. I indeed checked iptables -L but it didn't say it was blocking my traffic. What I did now was reconfigure the shared internet-connection, with drakgw and all of the sudden, it worked again. Don't ask me how, it just did. Nothing in the logs, either. I really don't understand this. Is there anything you people want me to do to diagnose this further? I can't seem te recreate it... (Just for the record, I didn't do anything fancy the first time, I just upgraded, noted that the connection wasn't shared anymore, started drakgw and installed the shared connection. The shared connection worked, but I wasn't able to ssh to the machine. Maybe it's due to the upgrade?) -- Regards, Tim Stoop PGP public key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Random quote/fortune: Absence makes the heart forget.

[Cooker] NTFS Partitions and Fonts
I know that there are problems accessing ttf fonts on NTFS partitions in MDK 9.0. I was wondering if anyone has a fix for this. I have not seen one as yet. There is an additional reason for dealing with this. Crossover Office will not install if it even looks at an NTFS partition. If the partition is commented out of the config file it will install (this is suggested on the Codeweavers web site) but, after installation, you cannot run M$ Office if it looks at the NTFS partition. It must be commented out of the config file. This is going to be a problem for those who want to run Crossover Office so a fix would be most useful. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I have read that already to the letter and well it didn't help much. After setting it up exactly like stated I get an error on my xp box about not being able to join the domain. I can't remember the exact error. Exact error messages help, if you tell me what it is, I can tell you your problem. 60% chance it was Credentials supplied conflict with previously supplied , in which case, blame windows for only being able to have one connection to any machine as a sinlge user, log out, log back in and join the domain as your first action. No worry swat and linuxconf is not tolerated by me either that is why I can't for the life of me figure this out. I've been using this conf file for like two years now with no problem. I use webmin to do the initial setup of my users and turn on the automatic user addition and subtraction if users are added or deleted from my linux box. After that it's all by hand. IMHO, the webmin thing is a hack, pam_smbpasswd might be better (we have considered making it the default, but we can't really). What it does, is change the password in /etc/samba/smbpasswd every time a pam password change is done (ie via passwd or something similar) successfully. OK looking back through my smb.conf the one O really use I found the problem. The new mandrake automaticly sets my ip to 192.168.1 for the server doing the connection sharing. I previously had it set to 192.168.0. I had a host allow in my smb.conf set to 192.168.0. for security. Now I added 192.168.1 and 192.168.2 and 127. this fixed it all. Printing is working again. and all my users have access again. The next part is to set up domain controller. That would have been my next guess. hosts allow is evil (I hope we don't have an example in smb.conf unless it's well documented), since it almost certainly will stuff things up if reverse lookups don't work. Sorry about the false alarm and thanks for listening. Still the default install has changed to this from the default in 8.2.

At last was able to install (after a re-download of ISO 1 after finding it was corrupt) LM 9.0. While is a very good overal distro it has some problems. 1) Supermount is very buggy. While it was broken in some betas/RC, I found that RC3 supermount work very well, but Final 9.0simply forgot that a CD is inserted after 1 or 2 minutesafterCD insertion. I have to eject and reinsert the CD to access its data again.I only have time to install one or two RPM's at a time before resorting to this "workaround" . 2) Advanced Gateway and IP windows from Drakconnect dissapearafter making changes to them.

[Cooker] Where is the dictionary file of open office?
Hi all, I have installed the mandrake version rpm package of OpenOffice. However, the package don't contain any dictionary files. Where can I find the dictionary file and install? I remember that when I install the binary version of OpenOffice, it come with the US English version of dictionary, where can I download it now? \\\|/// \- - -// ( ) ---oOOo-(_)-oOOo Visit my homepage at http://www.carfield.com.hk Programming discussion groups Software design: news://news.carfield.com.hk/programming.design Design Pattern: news://news.carfield.com.hk/programming.design.pattern java: news://news.carfield.com.hk/programming.java linux: news://news.carfield.com.hk/programming.linux

Re: [Cooker] LM 9.0 Final Impressions!
Mario Vazquez wrote: 1) Supermount is very buggy. While it was broken in some betas/RC, I found that RC3 supermount work very well, but Final 9.0 simply forgot that a CD is inserted after 1 or 2 minutes after CD insertion. I have to eject and reinsert the CD to access its data again. I only have time to install one or two RPM's at a time before resorting to this workaround . I found the same problem although in my case doing an ls on the mount point I get lots of error messages about files not being found (the name is shown however) while some files are still accessible. Ejecting and reinserting the CD fixes it (for another few minutes). I have to copy programs to install to the hard drive. William
Re: iMac266, OSX Man82ppc installation won't boot
On Thu, 3 Oct 2002, Damon Garn wrote: yaboot on it's own partition? I thought it was on the /boot partition for Mandrake PPC? And that the Open Firmware would go to the blessed partition then get redirected to the /boot where yaboot exists? I'm thinking I'm way off base here... bootstrap != /boot One distro did that (LinuxPPC?), and a lot of people assume that, but it's not the case. The bootstrap partition holds only the parts of yaboot needed to boot the machine. /boot is exactly as it would be on x86. The bootstrap is not mounted on the Linux side, and only accessed when you run ybin. Folks that have tried to treat the bootstrap as /boot duing the install end up with a bit of a mess, since we only allocate 1MB for it, and the kernel/initrd generally take up a bit more than that. Can I ask for partitioning suggestions based on the following info: OSX on the first 7.5GB Data on the second 7.5GB If you're indeed hitting the 1st 2GB issue. (I forget, is this an old iMac?), OSX on the 1st 7.5GB is the problem. You need 1 MB bootstrap somewhere in the 1st 2GB. From there my assumption was the blessed partition had its own space, a separate /boot partition of about 40MB was needed, a / partition for the file system was necessary, the a swap partition for virtual memory. Is that wrong? Should the /boot and blessed partitions be the same? Is that where I've gone wrong? When I looked at the installer's depiction of the partitions I could see the two Mac partitions, then the 4 above listed partitions (with the blessed partition just following the two Mac partitions)... The above is correct. A seperate /boot isn't mandatory, but some folks like to share it between Linux installs. A seperate bootstrap, or blessed partition is definitely part of our configuration on NewWorld machines.

printer/modem port devices on a PPC 7200?
hi, following the instructions at: http://lppcfom.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/470.html I'm trying to connect an old HP LaserJet 4 with a GDT powerprint adapter. I had this working under an old version of SuSE once (probably should have left it alone! if it ain't broke...). With MDK8.2, what is the device for the printer or modem port? Seems not to be going anywhere. I tried /dev/cua0 cua1 ttyS0 and ttyS1. I think under SuSE it only worked in the modem port (this is the same box)... but this time neither works. no luck with old LPD or CUPS. thanks for any tips. -- War Without End?

Bingo! I did a fresh-formated-cooker install then I reboot in rescue,
change devfs=mount in the yaboot.conf to devfs=nomount, chroot, ybin
and... It worked on the next reboot. I'am 100% cooker ! Yé!
Great! I'm not sure why you're seeing the issue with devfs, I was
running
it until my machine died, and I think vdanen is too, but he's out of
town
and his machine is off at the moment, so I can't check. Perhaps just
not
fully up to date packages.
Very sporadic net (and expensive) net access in the mountains but IIRC,
yes, devfs is running... I don't recall changing anything in
yaboot.conf for that. But I used some created ISOs and then did a lot
of cleaning up afterwards to get everything up to speed for
development, so it could very well be an outdated package and/or
missing packages that are causing the problem.

PowerPrint adapter, parallel printer on Mandrake PPC 8.2 HOWTO
I'll answer my own question, and here's how to do it, for the archives and anyone else who wants to try this feat (actually, once I quit trying to use LPD, it was easy with CUPS): (this is rough, so feel free to improve on this and redistribute if you know a better way or spot a mistake) PowerPrint adapter on Mac Serial with Mandrake Linux PPC 8.2 HOWTO -- (note: this should work on other PPC distros as well) 1. do a 'modprobe macserial' and also add that command to your /etc/init.d/rc.local 2. install and start CUPS, including the cups-serial package (which is not installed by default). 3. add this to your /etc/cups/printers.conf (or use the web-based CUPS configurator at http://127.0.0.1:631/ to add a printer with serial port #1, baud rate 57600, XON/XOFF, No parity, 8 bits ... then choose the type of printer.): Printer LaserJet4 DeviceURI serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=57600+bits=8+parity=none+flow=soft State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 /Printer This works for an old parallel HP LaserJet 4. Your mileage may vary with other printers. Note: I have the PowerPrint adapter in the modem port, not the printer port. Try /dev/ttyS1 instead if you want it in the printer port. It'll *probably* work. [end] -- War Without End? Not In Our Name! http://notinourname.net
