[Cooker] AbiWord Can't Install
This has been mentioned on the list before and is still not fixed. As of latest cooker, when trying to install AbiWord through URPMI, it says libaspell-common-0.50.2.so is needed by AbiWord-1.0.2-2mdk but when it tries to install it it encounters a package conflict and aborts. I assume this is because libaspell is now past that version. It needs to be fixed I think. I would assume it's just a case of AbiWord needing to be packaged against the new aspell. Ideas?? Cheers Jason

Re: [Cooker] gnome-panel and missing dependencies

[Cooker] [Bug 442] [nss_ldap] New: Using nss_ldap, machine will not shutdown or reboot cleanly
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442 Product: nss_ldap Component: nss_ldap Summary: Using nss_ldap, machine will not shutdown or reboot cleanly Version: 202-1mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When ldap is added to /etc/nsswitch.conf the machine will not shutdown or reboot cleanly. It looks like what's happening is that the libraries are on the /usr filesystem and they are held open even after all processes are killed. If the /usr filesystem is not on the root partition, it cannot be unmounted. Steps to reproduce the problem: install nss_ldap on a machine that has /usr/lib mounted on a seperate partition from / add ldap to nsswitch.conf per the nss_ldap documentation reboot into single user mode type: lsof | grep /usr you should see ldap, sasl, and kerberos libraries type: reboot it should hang saying that the /usr partition can't be unmounted. The machine needs to be powered off and the disks need to be fsck'd removing the ldap options from /etc/nsswitch.conf makes the machine shutdown properly again after the next reboot. I recommend moving all of those libraries to /lib instead of /usr/lib since that is usually on the root partition. --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-12-16 10:31 --- bug exists also in latest cooker version --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Re: [Cooker] Re: Re: Mandrake for a PVR (was Re: Mandrake and business.)
Well, AFAIK Freevo uses SDL and can display on FB. I am just working on that right now. I am finding I have to hack SDL to display on the G400's CRTC2 using it's TV-Out mode. Note that this is NOT displaying to /dev/fb1 with all kinds of matroxset voodoo. Doing it using the CRTC2 properly gives a properly aspected, overscanned image, just like watching real TV. No black borders and dicking around with framebuffer timings. See the recent directfb-dev archives for more details. Is it based on this? http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/directfb/readme.txt I'm looking into the latest G400 / G450 FB stuff (from ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/ ) Perhaps the kernel can be patched to use version 1.64 (1.62 now). Some other stuff I'm looking at: http://www.flashdance.cx/tv-out-mga-fb.html http://www3.sympatico.ca/dan.eriksen/matrox_tvout/ I have not looked at any of these, but if they address the second head as a second framebuffer (i.e. kernel config item CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y) then it's the wrong approach. The approach that DirectFB is currently using is the exact same way that DVD playback works in Windows, which means the G400 displays a properly interlaced, overscanned image to the television. Question remains, can the two solutions co-exist? Otherwise I forsee problems when trying to merge it into the distro (if it ever comes that far). and will any fb application work with it or will they need to be patched (like mplayer http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/directfb/mplayer/) It's to be able to program the PVR from a web browser. I like this feature -- it'll let me program it from work :-) But if you have the programs you want to watch scheduled by the name of the program and not by it's timeslot information (i.e. think old-world VCR BS) and your PVR does the timeslot programming for you based on when your programs are on (by downloading programming data), when would you need to program it from work? I suppose if you are at work and think all-of-a-sudden of a new program that you want to start watching, but is that a real-world situtiaton? Don't you usually make those decisions while sitting in front of the TV watching? Uh, no. :-) I see the promo's for nice programs a few days befor they air, and then forget to watch them (don't have a VCR of any kind at the moment). In any case, a web interface is not a bad idea, just very low on my priority list. :-) Stefan smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Re: [Cooker] [Bug 598] [XFree86-server] New: Radeon 7500 hardwareacceleration not working
Thanks for the information. Thought you might be interested in the following correspondence: Original Message Subject: Re: Mandrake 9.0 + XFree86 + Radeon 7500 Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 16:52:32 + From: Bruno Prior [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Frederic Lepied [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frederic, Have moved the old/ modules into drivers/ (and commented out Option NoAccel). When I first went to restart the X-server, the whole computer rebooted. But now the reboot has finished, X seems to be working OK. I don't get the KVM freeze like before. I'm not sure how I test whether hardware acceleration is working, but I tried running ArmageTron and TuxRacer. ArmageTron was running at 1fps, which is unbelievably poor (I think I get around 150fps on my laptop). TuxRacer also appeared to be running at only 1 or 2 fps. Would I be right in guessing either that hardware acceleration is still not functioning, or that the hardware acceleration is broken and actually making things slower? I'm almost inclined to the latter, as this is the worst graphics performance I have ever seen on a linux computer - far worse than you would expect from just missing hardware acceleration. Have you seen the message on Cooker suggesting the problem is in OpenGL/Mesa libs? Could this be connected to this FAQ issue I have just found at the DRI website: http://dri.sourceforge.net/faq/faq_display.phtml?id=42 I appreciate that this is for PCI, whereas my card is AGP, but could they be related, and could this be a clue to why Mandrake's default Radeon drivers sometimes don't work with the Radeon 7000/7500? I've tried to find where I can get info about the X-server process. The best I can find is under Information in the KDE Control Center.

The first was the famous supermount fiasco redux. The second was the fact that hardware acceleration no longer worked on my ATI RagePro card. I decided that I might as well upgrade the RagePro card and replaced it with a Radeon 7000. Now hardware accelleration worked but I faced nasty lockups and intermittant loss of video. The 7000 and the 7500 belong to the same family of 1st generation Radeons and I suspect that we have the same problem. In any case I have traced the problem to OpenGL and the XFree Mesa libraries. If I disable the GLX module in the XF86Config-4 file the problem goes away. But of course then hardware accelleration no longer works. Hardware accelleration works fine but slow when using the generic Mesa library and extremely fast but crashes with the XFree Mesa library. The problem is somewhere in the XFree Mesa library distributed with Mandrake. It would be interesting to compare the XFree Mesa library shipped with RedHat and the one shipped with Mandrake. And the supermount problem? I upgraded the whole system to 9.0, but retained the 8.2 kernel. The system works fine so far, with the exception of the Radeon accelleration problem. So at this point I am waiting for XFree to be updated. I may try the current version on Cooker at some point in the near future. Oh and the reason some responses are not showing up on Cooker is that when people do a reply, it gets addressed only to the poster, not to the list.

[Cooker] [Bug 648] [initscripts] New: bad handling for multiple NICs
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648 Product: initscripts Component: initscripts Summary: bad handling for multiple NICs Version: 6.91-16mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The handling of multiple network adapters is quite bad, as it is bound to the interface number the kernel gives the device dynamicly (eth0, eth1). This might be no big deal on desktop computers but it is quite anoying with notebooks if you have e.g. a pcmcia wireless card and an internal network card. Then it is possible that those two get mixed up (internel - eth0, wireless - eth1 or internel - eth1, wireless - eth0). Those two also need a different configuration...

You have no idea what you are talking about. You are right in one thing, this is the COOKER list and yes, I DID MEAN TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS. This is a support listfor Cooker issues. If a cooker package cannot be installed - whether in contribs or main, Mandrake need to know about it, period. That is the whole idea of cooker. I should not have to read bugzilla et al.

If this problem is already being addressed by Mandrake (or others) then Mandrake need to have the courtesy to at least say so on list, other wise why have beta testers??

[Cooker] X appears to slow down all on its own
Hello, I have reported this before with Mandrake Cooker at about version 7.2 and it still happens in the latest Cooker ! Basically when doing specific things both X and the frame buffer slow down all on their own. I really don't know what is doing this and would appreciate any help. It would really help to know if I am alone in this or if other people also get similar or the same results. How to make it happen. X :- Start X. Start an application that that involves X doing a lot of movement. The best example I have found is Mesa Gears because it outputs the fps. When I start gears the results I see are : 57 fps 60 fps 37 fps 37 fps 37 fps Each output occurs at 5 second intervals. Now here comes the fun bit ! Start moving the mouse or keep a key depressed. The fps output now goes up to 63 and stays there until the mouse stops moving or the key is released where upon it goes straight back to 37 ! Moreover, if gears is exited and re-started the whole cycle starts again. I.e. the output starts at about 60 and then drops to 37, rather than starting out at 37. This happens whether X is started when the frame buffer is in use or not. Gears gear wheels visibly slow down, so it's not just the fps being printed oddly. Frame Buffer: Drop out of X and go to a directory with a number entries say /usr/bin. Do an `ls'. Initially the output will go past rapidly but then very quickly slow down to a crawl. Start moving the mouse, assuming you have gpm running ! and the output speeds up again ! So what is this strange system I have ? It is a Dell Inspiron 7000, PII 400, 256Mb Ram, ATI Rage Mobility +. Can anyone help with this strange and annoying `feature' ? Thanks, Owen

Anyway the problem on msnbc is because streaming as well as redirect (i.e. a multimedia file redirecting to another multimedia URL (used on Apple trailers page, for instance) is not supported (the only other one I know is this one http://www.webfreetv.com/linux, but it's not yet complete, doesn't work with -vo x11 (because mplayer -window has problems), and doesn't come with a license). Furthermore I'll remove asx to mime extensions listed in pluggerrc. Of course mplayer is not mandatory, but for video files there aren't much alternatives (xine would probably requires the same number of libraries as mplayer, xanim is no longer supported [and furthermore it didn't support many file formats], mpegtv is dead, etc.) if you wanna see something...

I vote that wireless.opts not be removed from the rpms. Rather, I'd prefer to see Mandrake adopt the wireless-tools method of initializing wireless pcmcia cards, much like debian, suse and other linux's have done. The redhat init scripts aren't as flexible in this matter.

[Cooker] a weird cups problem
Hello, This morning for the first time in ages I used my modem on my computer to dial in to the internet instead of using my cable modem. When I then tried to print, the print manager hangs, as do any print dialogs from applications in KDE (I have not tried printing from the console yet). After doing some playing with the system, it appears that it's hanging up trying to communicate with the cups server. If I terminate the dial up session, all of the hung up dialogs return from their hung state. The URL for the printer is oddly enough NOT pointing to localhost, it's pointing to my cable modem assigned URL, ie is ipp://ny-glensfalls3a-57.bur.adelphia.net:631/printers/Samsung instead of being ipp://localhost etc. My guess is that when dialed in the host info for the machine changes? I added this printer using the Printing Manager. Would it make sense to have locally connected printers default to localhost? V.
Re: [Cooker] [Bug 598] [XFree86-server] New: Radeon 7500 hardwareacceleration not working
Iv'e now had a chance to take a closer look at the OpenGL implementation provided by RedHat as compared to that provided by Mandrake. What really intrigues me about Mandrake's implementation is the fact that they apparently mix the XFree MesaGL library with the generic MesaGLU library, while Red Hat provides XFree versions of both libraries. The GLU libraries on RedHat are provided by package: XFree86-Mesa-libGLU. The GLU libraries on Mandrake are provided by libMesaGLU1. The GL libraries on RedHat are provided by package: XFree86-Mesa-libGL and on Mandrake by XFree86-libs.RedHat provides only XFree OpenGL libraries while Mandrake provides both XFree and generic versions of the GL libraries. Mandrake in fact requires generic libMesaGLU1 for a number of games. I strongly suspect that there are subtle conflicts between these two sets of libraries which might not show up with all video cards that are somehow behind the problem. Perhaps Frederic can enlighten us further. At some point I plan to install RedHats libraries on a Mandrake system to see if that resolves the problem and will report back then. -George Bruno Prior wrote: Thanks for the information.

When I first went to restart the X-server, the whole computer rebooted. But now the reboot has finished, X seems to be working OK. I don't get the KVM freeze like before. I'm not sure how I test whether hardware acceleration is working, but I tried running ArmageTron and TuxRacer. ArmageTron was running at 1fps, which is unbelievably poor (I think I get around 150fps on my laptop). TuxRacer also appeared to be running at only 1 or 2 fps. Would I be right in guessing either that hardware acceleration is still not functioning, or that the hardware acceleration is broken and actually making things slower? I'm almost inclined to the latter, as this is the worst graphics performance I have ever seen on a linux computer - far worse than you would expect from just missing hardware acceleration. Have you seen the message on Cooker suggesting the problem is in OpenGL/Mesa libs? Could this be connected to this FAQ issue I have just found at the DRI website: http://dri.sourceforge.net/faq/faq_display.phtml?id=42 I appreciate that this is for PCI, whereas my card is AGP, but could they be related, and could this be a clue to why Mandrake's default Radeon drivers sometimes don't work with the Radeon 7000/7500? I've tried to find where I can get info about the X-server process. The best I can find is under Information in the KDE Control Center.

I decided that I might as well upgrade the RagePro card and replaced it with a Radeon 7000. Now hardware accelleration worked but I faced nasty lockups and intermittant loss of video. The 7000 and the 7500 belong to the same family of 1st generation Radeons and I suspect that we have the same problem. In any case I have traced the problem to OpenGL and the XFree Mesa libraries.

I am in Canada. Lucky for us Canadians, we have the Canadian governement protecting us from true competition in the satellite services market. In the best interest of Canadians, the government creates false economies and markets and gives the rights to supply the demand for services to a few select companies (I often wonder how they got the rights to service the deman). As you could guess, our content is limited and the costs of service high. We have a whole two suppliers of satellite services and I am sure they love it. Second, I don't think it's clear DVB. I think there is some kind of encryption, for which I would need a MAC (I think that's the term). Bell ExpressVu do the same sorta thing. They broadcast in DVB, but it's encrypted by Nagravision. Not only some, a lot for that card, last time I looked. Anyway, ebay has much to high prices, at least on computer-hardware. Huh? Check this link: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResultSortProperty=MetaEndSortquery=Matrox+G400from=R8ht=1combine=yst=2 US$10, 15, 20? That is too much for a dual head AGP video card that has the TV-Out capabilities of the G400? Maybe an mpeg2encoderboard is the right thing for you ? It's not the same as DVB. The difference between DVB and an MPEG2 encoder on analog cable is like the difference between getting an MP3 of a CD and having to record it to MP3 from FM radio. Not even to mention that there is no MPEG2 encoder for Linux available. The PVR-250 seems like it's getting close and there was a Kfir chip out there but I think that's been discontinued. They will nearly cost the same as an dvb-card. But the DVB card is just so much better. The whole idea is better. Getting the actual MPEG2 is way better than regenerating from an analog copy of it. Have a look at linuxtv.org Or the WinTV PVR or some MotionJpeg Captureboards The PVR-250 could happen, but MJPEG is sub-optimal. There is no intra-frame compression, just frame-by-frame jpeg compression. You would lose a lot of bandwidth without the intraframe compression. Yes the same here. The people mainly don't understand whats going on and what are the results and if they feel the results the start to worry. It looks like the politicians are only lobbyists, nothing more. They don't really care, what they do . Yeah, but Europeans seem to stand up for their rights more. Indeed realtime transcoding can be done. I wouldn't even care for that. My main source of material would be what I got via the DVB card anyway. For the odd divx I downloaded, I would just transcode off-line. The DVB-cards can be feeded with mpeg1 to. MPEG2 is better suited to interlaced data. On my machine I've 50-60 % CPU on realtime-transcoding divx = dvb-out A pitty that you can't use vdr It's not so much that I can't use vdr, but that I can't get DVB. vdr is not the loss, DVB is. b. -- Brian J.

First, they are in the US only. I am in Canada. Lucky for us Canadians, we have the Canadian governement protecting us from true competition in the satellite services market. In the best interest of Canadians, the government creates false economies and markets and gives the rights to supply the demand for services to a few select companies (I often wonder how they got the rights to service the deman). As you could guess, our content is limited and the costs of service high. We have a whole two suppliers of satellite services and I am sure they love it. Second, I don't think it's clear DVB. I think there is some kind of encryption, for which I would need a MAC (I think that's the term). Bell ExpressVu do the same sorta thing. They broadcast in DVB, but it's encrypted by Nagravision. Not only some, a lot for that card, last time I looked. Anyway, ebay has much to high prices, at least on computer-hardware. Huh? Check this link: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResultSortProperty=MetaEndSortquery=Matrox+G400from=R8ht=1combine=yst=2 US$10, 15, 20? That is too much for a dual head AGP video card that has the TV-Out capabilities of the G400? Maybe an mpeg2encoderboard is the right thing for you ? It's not the same as DVB. The difference between DVB and an MPEG2 encoder on analog cable is like the difference between getting an MP3 of a CD and having to record it to MP3 from FM radio. Not even to mention that there is no MPEG2 encoder for Linux available. The PVR-250 seems like it's getting close and there was a Kfir chip out there but I think that's been discontinued. Even on Canada you have DVB-c on cable TV provided by videotron. DVB-s is for Digital Video Broadcast on Satellite DVB-c the same via cable DVB-t the same via ground transmetters These different kind of DVB all require different DVB card type. Hauppauge provide the 3 types of reciever. The API part and drivers remains the same. Its just the transciever part that differs. So you just use the same linux software and modules to drive it. For en encryption question we hav encrypted DVB here in Europe as well for most broadcasted channels except for some few stupid tvmarket like ones. Don't grin, they are fine when you try to set up your linux box to recieve chanels. Does well as test channels ;) My Hauppauge CARD has a Common Interface module plugged and it just feet a regular half height 31/2 place Inside the common interface I plug a so called Magic module and my Sat compagny smartcard key in it (it is called CAM). This all work well with linux and the vdr software. The Nexus card has built in mpeg2 hardware, other low cost PVR DVB have to do computerized decoding encoding. Some Linux folks are even using softcam pvr patch that emulate the presence of a real smart card CAM reader. But the things is mostly *illegal* as It allow decoding DVB encrypted channels without any CAM at all. Just hacked keys from a text file. If you want to know more about it just search for linux DVB vdr softcam patch. By the way. Even the PLF wouldn't suit for that illegal piece of software. So just do it the right way. Buy the DVB card plus a Common Interface plus the plug-in CAM reader and subscribe to your favorite SAT company as you would do to use a regular DVB reciever. Then plug the shiny iso sized smart card in the card reader and enjoy watching encrypted channels legally from your sat provider. -- Léa Gris () Campagne du ruban texte brut contre les courriels en HTML, /\ contre les pièces jointes Microsoft.

If I have a look at /var/lib/mysql/*err, I get the impression, that MySQL hasn't been started since July 2002. Guess I don't need it that much ;) Anyhow, both Stefan and I are using LDAP on our systems. I do not know if this is related at all or not... I'm right now using (hmm, let's say, I've got installed) MySQL-3.23.53-5mdk. I cannot reproduce, are you using a full cooker install ? I'm having the same problem, on both my Cooker and 9.0 boxes. It might be related to LDAP somehow, I think folks using LDAP are rare enough that we find some odd bugs that noone else can reproduce. Yes, it is definitely caused by LDAP. I have done some tests with the nsswitch.conf and if the group section looks up into LDAP the MySQL server crashes. Entries in password and shadow does not mater. I have three solutions: 1. grap the src.rpm from mdk8.2, recompile it and force a install (I have not seen any sideeffects until now) This MySQL version does not have any problems. 2. change the mysql-init script and start the safe_mysqld as user mysql (with 'su - mysql -c'). 3. change the mysql-init script: move away the nsswitch.conf befor the start of safe_mysqld and move it back after the start of safe_mysqld. beware: use a little timeout before moving it back (1 to 2 seconds) because safe_mysqd is started asyncronous. mysql ist faster with moving back than safe_mysqld can start mysqld.

Re: [Cooker] [Bug 442] [nss_ldap] New: Using nss_ldap, machine will not shutdown or reboot cleanly

It looks like what's happening is that the libraries are on the /usr filesystem and they are held open even after all processes are killed. If the /usr filesystem is not on the root partition, it cannot be unmounted. Steps to reproduce the problem: install nss_ldap on a machine that has /usr/lib mounted on a seperate partition from / add ldap to nsswitch.conf per the nss_ldap documentation reboot into single user mode type: lsof | grep /usr you should see ldap, sasl, and kerberos libraries type: reboot it should hang saying that the /usr partition can't be unmounted. The machine needs to be powered off and the disks need to be fsck'd removing the ldap options from /etc/nsswitch.conf makes the machine shutdown properly again after the next reboot. I recommend moving all of those libraries to /lib instead of /usr/lib since that is usually on the root partition. --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-12-16 10:31 --- bug exists also in latest cooker version --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. as a short hand hack, you can user 'umount -l' in the halt script (in /etc/init.d) to unmount the filesystems (around line 170).

The good old days!
I remember when you could download full iso disks of the best at that point in time cooker installs. Usually two to three disks. I know people think that cooker gets updated allot thus you don't have this for the time being. It would be nice though if someone did release a really good Cooker PPC iso set for some of us who would rather download that instead. Also it would be nice if this release had the most compatible Xfree86 for powerbook G4's the 667 and up. It seems that this has been the biggest issue. I have been having great pains in trying to set this up and it would be nice if someone out there would be kind enough to create a iso release that supported these portable devices. Other than that who is here with me on this? What is your opinion other than the CVS changes too much etc, etc. Just an idea. Cheers, Jonathan C. Sitte
