You can. In KDE, Gnome etc, or by aliases and scripts in the shell of your choice. But most people here probably appreciate bash-completion more than keyboard shortcuts for graphical stuff ;-). Just for info, Buchan, I think he means what Windows itself calls shortcuts, which are a sort of cross between symlinks and aliases. In recent versions of Windows you can create a shortcut to a file and stick it in a directory, then you can interact with the shortcut as if you were interacting with the file - double-click it in Explorer or whatever. I don't know how they show up in a DOS window. The most common use of them is for making quicklaunch icons and for putting programs on the desktop - desktop icons for launching programs and quicklaunch icons in the Windows taskbar are both actually shortcuts to the relevant executable. The alias bit comes in because you can edit the shortcut and make it launch the program with a particular command-line parameter, or something similar. Since neither GNOME nor KDE uses the same paradigm, we'd have to ask exactly what he wants to do if we wanted to help him (creating a symlink, adding an icon to the desktop or adding a quicklaunch to the panel). Whatever it is, it's look like he's using Gnome... Buchan, try creating a new launcher on a panel (right-clicking the mouse over a panel) and just drag and drop it to your desktop if you really can't live without this...

Just a small comment: the part "[ \t]*" is redundant. By using $1, awk
already skipped whitespaces. So, it should rather be
awk '{ if ($1 !~ /^#/ && $2 == "/") { print $3; }}'
or
awk '{ if ($0 !~ /^[ \t]*#/ && $2 == "/") { print $3; }}'

Yes. I initially had the same problem until I: 1) edited /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts so it contained sensible values. I set IS_ADHOC to 'y' 2) added a description of my card to /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf since my card was not listed. 3) rebooted. experience has shown that installing the linux-wlan-ng drivers and applications requires a reboot before everything works smoothly. It works fine now. YMMV. Seth

[Cooker] samba-client
I just wanted to post my experience with the samba-client (2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2mdk) package from a clean MDK 9 install: * Able to browse samba clients * Unable to mount samba shares * fstab/netfs wouldn't mount samba shares Upgraded to samba-client-2.2.6-4mdk.i586.rpm and all is right in the world. I've checked the changelog and couldn't find any reference to this problem. My biggest concern is that stuff like this has happened in the past. (USB devices, video cards, etc...) Recently I took a survey given by Mandrake. It was about our experiences with Linux/Mandrake/OSS. One of the questions was whether or not the latest and greatest software should be released in the final distro or would it be better to release a little older more stable packages. The more conservative answer to this is to use the more thoroughly tested package I am involved in a project deploying Mandrake on the desktop at a San Diego, CA based corporation. Mandrake was the one distro that I have had the best luck with when trying to get end users excited about Linux. I am committed to promoting Linux, and especially Mandrake, if for no other reason than to increase the number of Linux users and to change the perception of Linux on the desktop. However, when I am in a situation that allows me to use the distro as an example and I am forced to spend a couple of hours to track down some strange nuance like the one stated above, I get concerned about what others might be experiencing while in a similar position as myself. Is there any resource to turn to for deploying Mandrake on the desktop in a corporate environment? MandrakeBizCases has some great war stories, but I am looking for more of a repository of scripts and tips to get Mandrake up on its feet ASAP. A lot of the issues we are currently having is related to the lack of Office software compatibility, a decent 5250 terminal emulator that doesn't lock up and provides the same features as IBM's Client Access TE... My point is that I have a lot of issues, and I'm sure I'm not alone, that I could use some help addressing. Where would be the best place to start a repository like this? (Mandrake Linux for Corporate Deployment) Any ideas? Thanks for letting me rant sam

[Cooker] Problem with Latest Kernel - PCMCIA hanging
Hi cooker Team, I upgraded to the latest cooker including the .18 Kernel and upon reboot, during the boot sequence it just hung at the point where it said loading pcmcia. I had to manually reinstall the .16 (from Mandrake 9.0) kernel to get it to complete the boot sequence and get up and running again. This is on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 Laptop with a 10/100 ethernet card (that I use for connecting to ADSL). I tried pulling the ethernet card prior to boot to see if that's what was causing the hang but it still hung anyway. Anyone else had this problem?? Cheers Jason Greenwood

[Cooker] Packages repository management tools project
Greetings all. >From my participation in different project (PLF, JPackage, Mandrake contribs) involving rpm repository management, i found they often face similar problems: - standardized upload procedure - repository coherency enforcement - urpmi & apt index generation - repository exploration etc... Recently, we began to merge JPackage & PLF various scripts into some project-independant code base, and found many advantages in this approach. I guess extending it further should even achieve greater benefits. So, what about starting a new project, dedicated to package repositories management ? We just have to find a name for it and where to host it... I send this message to every people that already told me of their interest in this project, as well as some other that i suspect could also get interested. I'm also CCing some mailing-list to fish for potentials contributors. Please don't follow my shameful exemple and get cautious with cross-posting replies. -- No matter how many resources you have, it is never enough. -- Murphy's Computer Laws n°1

Just for info, Buchan, I think he means what Windows itself calls shortcuts, which are a sort of cross between symlinks and aliases. In recent versions of Windows you can create a shortcut to a file and stick it in a directory, then you can interact with the shortcut as if you were interacting with the file - double-click it in Explorer or whatever. I don't know how they show up in a DOS window. The most common use of them is for making quicklaunch icons and for putting programs on the desktop - desktop icons for launching programs and quicklaunch icons in the Windows taskbar are both actually shortcuts to the relevant executable. The alias bit comes in because you can edit the shortcut and make it launch the program with a particular command-line parameter, or something similar. Since neither GNOME nor KDE uses the same paradigm, we'd have to ask exactly what he wants to do if we wanted to help him (creating a symlink, adding an icon to the desktop or adding a quicklaunch to the panel). -- adamw

I have tried this with different mice on different computers, every time the exact same problem. The mouse is working OK during install though.

We have had no problems that I would blame on the Enterprise kernels. In fact, the only problems we have had were memory corruption problems with MDK 8.2, which were (apparently) related to msec. Fixed these problems by disabling msec checks. Same problem happened on a machine using the stock 8.2 kernel as well. I cannot quite recall what messages we would find in the logs with the error, but it was a kernel attempt to address memory that failed. We think it was related to the zip drives as well (and supermount). Currently am running 8.2 and 9.0 Enterprise kernels without problems. Todd from Mandrake visited and we tracked the bug down to a XFS problem. Aparently XFS+HIGHMEM = hard lock at random loads... ext2 and ext3 don't seem to have the problem at all. Only when the FS is XFS does the lockups happen. I hope they find a fix!!! :) -- Bryan Whitehead SysAdmin - JPL - Interferometry Systems and Technology Phone: 818 354 2903 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, but USB TV cards are TV cards (logic ;) and drakxtv is a TV cards config
tool. A messagebox that USB cards (if one is detected) are automatically
configured/not supported by this tool (yet)/... could be welcome for the user.
This shows that the USB TV card is handled !
The patch I sended you is good in this way (change the msgbox text if it's not
adapted)-> it shows that the card is handled and appear in TV cards category
in harddrake.
drakxtv is a tool for configure TV cards, not a bttv/dvb/saa7134 tool, or
rename it drakxbttvdvbsaa7134.
Aren't you agree with me ?

yes, some bttv cards doesn't works fine (no sound, only one channel as
described in http://www.mandrake.com/en/archives/cooker/2002-11/msg00160.php )

[Cooker] 75 modules
Hi We have a whopping number of 75 (and counting) more or less functional modules for apache2 v2.0.43. This counts about 23 more compared to apache1 for Mandrake Linux, should I give it a rest now? Latest one is "apache2-mod_xslt-2.0.43_1.0.5a-1mdk".

I was very tired, this was surely the way to do it, great thanks!
But I hope you meant:
%{_sbindir}/apxs -c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libxslt` mod_xslt.c \
iotools.c logging.c urltools.c xsltools.c \
?
Anyway, that's what bakes the cake. Great thanks Frederic!

First, it is missing a BuildRequires on ADVX-build :))
Second, use the following line to build the thing :
%{_sbindir}/apxs -c `pkg-config --cflags libxslt` mod_xslt.c iotools.c
logging.c urltools.c xsltools.c
Notice that -I options must be BEFORE files to compile (and pkg-config
should be used instead of *-config programs..)

[Cooker] ppp connection not working.
I noticed it on beta steps, but since it seemed to work on last rc, i didn't send a bug report. >From a fresh install (whis some hard reboots, see my mail about nvidias' stuff) : If i launch via mcc the internet connection, it works perfectly. If i try to use gnome-ppp ot kppp, the connection begans and after 5s i got and error message with "ppd daemon died unexpectidly". I tried to create another user account and i still get the same problem. Last : under winX, i always connect at 57600, with linux i only get 42666 (at best) : quite frustrating, since it is the same computer, same modem, same phone line. Stef
[Cooker] One nvidia remark
I use nvidia's 1.0-3123 drivers for displying on a 9.0 rc with kernel 2.4-17 (acpi turned on). I tried this manipulation also with the bundled kernel. When i enable tvout funcionnalities, i canot swith between tty and X : it freezes hard (X is locked, i don't have any trace that dthe kernel itself is down). When i turn off the tvout feature, the problem disappears. With previous drivers, it wasn't a problem to enable or not the tvout feature so i enabled it always. It seems now that they have added a testing if there is REALLY something connected to the cable. If not, the server locks up. This is not really a bug, but since this problem may come from time to time on this list, nvidia users, be aware of this (new) problem. My 0.02 ¤cents. Stef
