Re: [Cooker] Preventing Mozilla to hang with RPM-files
It would be really great it if Mandrake could do that. Current behaviour which freezes whole desktop is definitely not an preferred option. Good (maybe more trickier) would try to check from the RPM-files header whether the data is in Red Hat RPM or the Real Player RPM-format.

[Cooker] Extensions missing from the latest XFree
Hi, Two more problems from the front: Xlib: extension "SHAPE" missing on display ":0.0" Which is entensively used by fluxbox's dockapps Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":0.0". And this one is used to get Quake3 in full-screenmode. //Han -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software
[Cooker] -lXft2 not symlinked to -lXft
Hi, By some stupid mistake on my side I just had to completely reinstall. It does give me the opportunity to look at cooker in a whole new perspective. I guess more people should blunder more often ;) The latest fluxbox cvs-snaphots can be build with Xft but the latest addition of libXft2-2.0-1mdk & libXft2-devel-2.0-1mdk Uses -lXft2. I checked with someone on another recent distro and his ``xft-config --libs'' returns: -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXft -lfreetype -L/usr/local/lib -lfontconfig \ -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXrender While mine returns: -lXft2 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXrender He does have 2.0.0 as well for the people who explitly want to have that confirmed. I don't know if that's good or bad. //Han

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake Made Easy: a modest suggestion for Windows users
unfortunately, Wim is right in the attitude for a lot of windows users. most that have switched to linux already are the one's that do read manuals / docs / howtos ecetera. a basic simple install should be designed for the moron level to keep the non reading section from filling lists with useless posts. a few apps, configured so only effort is plugging in user name. with options to install more when / if they need it ( as currently exists ) the majority of people running ms have no clue as to what is really happening, and are lost with the amount of data available for linux when booting and when an app crashes. I started with Mdk 6.1 and not connected to the net at all, so had to read and figure out problems myself ( which I prefer to do anyway ) but I watch as people I know flip when they see my "noquiet" text mode boot on both my linux boxes. they can't get over the amount of information being presented and realize how much like morons ms has always treated their users. and with the nt family of ms os ms has stolen all console from the user. no booting to "dos" only the gui. and absolutely no real tools to fix problems short of wiping hd and re-installing. while a lot of ms users like that, anyone that has to fix computers after the ignorant user has blown it up doesn't like it. ~g~ make an install option for windows like use, but never make windows like changes to tool sets. after all when they blow it up then we can make a bit of money fixing their system and with the tools available with linux that should only be a few minutes unless the user got root access and destroyed everything.

[Cooker] smp kernel instabilities
I am having some seriously unwelcom smp kernel instabilities using MDK 9.0, using a msi k7d-m motherboard and dual athlon mp processors. I have a hp office jet g85 printer/fax/scanner, that will crash the kernel hard shortly after xdm loads. Though it works in uni-processor mode fine. Running in smp mode crunching seti or using a java based distributed processing program, I wake to find my machine hard locked. When I say hard locked means no telnet, no ctrl alt del, no ctrl alt backspace, no ctrl alt f1-f6, not even the L-alt sysrequest r-s-e-i-u-b, is working to unlock the kernel. I am having to resort to the reset button, K. Good thing for jerneled filesystems (ext3, and ReiserFS) (and my intel raid controller with 256mb cashe). I have almost never seen where the L-alt sysrequest key sequence would not shut the machine down semi gracefully. Have there been any major kernel revisions that might help to alliviate these problems?

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake Made Easy: a modest suggestion for Windows users
I disagree :-) You're here - I'm here - we all got here somehow. I DON'T want to be presented with a 'wizard' interface everywhere I go. Sometimes it's OK for people to have to learn a few things before jumping in the driver's seat - no? I think mandrake has really made some great strides towards ease of use in the past couple of years - I just tried slackware 8.1 on my laptop last week... that lasted about two days. I used to build custom computers for people; I would recommend that new users get a book called 'windows 98 for dummies' - I couldn't get ANYONE to read that book - but about once a month or so, they would pay me to come over and reinstall their system because they blew it up. That was WINDOWS 98 I think that time and energy would be better spent writing good howtos and docs so that the people who aren't going to read them anyway can pay those of who will!

This is just an example. A lot of programs need a finishing touch. Preferences should not have to be set ( cdburning programs), features complete ( msn messenger programs ). Desktop users want to work with there pc and when it is linux they want it to work as easy as windows.
Re: [Cooker] Another gtk+2.0.7-3mdk problem

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake Made Easy: a modest suggestion for Windowsusers
I don't know, I've been using Linux for about 4 years or so and I still have trouble with certain things and have to consult lists or google - that's sort of a right of passage I think. I know plenty of Windows users who can't even figure out Windows - I don't care what you do, there will still be that person who says "I don't get it". Sometimes it's good to have to struggle a bit to get the answer - it's good for people to exercise that brain muscle!

You need to upgrade also libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0* to 2.0.7-3mdk too (libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0 is a part of GTK+2.0)... I've checked your GIF file and it is now displayed correctly in both nautilus and EOG..

You will need to specifically allow ISAKMP traffic through your firewall (UDP port 500) until our code, which does this automatically for earlier RedHat version (which use ipchains). This will be updated in 2.00. Check doc/firewall.html for the rules you will need to add to /etc/sysconfig/iptables. libdes change - allow gcc3 compiled modules to load on gcc3 systems. Pluto bug fix - assertion failure when DNS TXT record query is not needed by the time of the request. ESP (and AH, IPCOMP) potential DOS fix. RedHat RPM related changes: we now use "rpmbuild" instead of RPM. This is backwards compatible with older versions of RPM. Support for modutils 2.4.18-2 added, as well as support for new kernel version nomenclature (ie, 2.4.18-17.7.x). Updated the minstall target to re-install all modules. Frequently, the result of the previous target was a system with no modules aside from ours. - cut - Does theese bugs also affect the MDK 9.0 freeswan release if so, there should be some security updates for all MDK 9.0 users...

I guess "provide sense" means "name", whereas "fullname" means "name-version-release.platform.rpm", right ? If my assumptions are ok, answer to my previous question would be /mplayer.*mdk.*/ -- If such a program has not crashed yet, it is waiting for a critical moment before it crashes. -- Murphy's Computer Laws n°6

Not far for being that, in fact we need compability with previous file format so, it cannot be that exactly, it is "/regexp/" on fullname or a "provide sense" expression that should be used, it will forwarded to other file for selection.
