GNOME 2.0 went and renamed all their tools with more sane names, and so
did the new Red Hat 8 configuration tools.

gcalc => gnome-calculator
gfontsel => gnome-font-viewer

I do and did. In that instance I was trying to spoof and or change the MAC 
address of the card, which works fine with the driver in the linus kernel.

When setting it up as any other ethernet device with either DHCP or a IP 
address I get

ifup eth1
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
Determining IP information for eth1...


but it does get a IP address


and as i stated when i run IWCONFIG it says that the driver was compiled with 
version 0 of the wireless extensions  and we are currently using version 13 
some things might be broken.

I understood from the start what he was getting at, it seemed like he made it 
pretty clear. And I'm glad you understand now, because if you're a sysadmin, 
you know the ugly implications of fingers (human or software) getting in

I have installed apmd/apm-scripts and it seems to be working fine on my

What I am asking for is to back out some changes to make the tool
simpler. I would guess that worrying about all the dependencies for the
entire system is more work than just the ones I am upgrading, but maybe
I'm wrong. 

Really I would just like an explanation of why the new behavior is
desired. I would ask the Debian folks, but I'm not in the mood for a
religious battle.

> As usual, fpons is the ultimate authority on it as it's his baby.

His response confused me. He claimed it should not be worrying about
unrelated unresolved dependencies (like apt does), but in my case it is.
And I am 100% sure that this is an unrelated case.

> You seem pretty aversed to editing skip.list.  What reasoning is behind

The main reason is because I want urpmi to stay the best tool possible.
There are very few things more annoying that someone taking a good
perfectly working tool and "enhancing" it only to make it less
functional than before. I get this all the time at work and it's
extremely frustrating.

Title sort of says it: If you want to create an encrypted filesystem, then you

OK, I hunted down the perl file that is responsible for the 20 character or

got included in the next update of drakxtools. Sorry also for not posting this

If you use run guarddog under a language environment that is not C or english
the parsing of the ifconfig command fails to recognize your network interfaces
addresses and so the resulting iptables rules are incorrect.

In english ifconfig shows for example : 
eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:01:02:0C:20:8A
  inet addr:10.0.0.10  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

In french the same is :
eth0  Lien encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:01:02:0C:20:8A
  inet adr:10.0.0.10  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Masque:255.255.255.0

Notice 'adr:' in english versus 'addr:' in french.
It seems that guarddog incorrectly parse this line using en english pattern.

temporary workaround, run: LANGUAGE=C guarddog

but the parsing should not depend on the language environnment used.
This is  a SECURITY ISSUE.

Works for me :)

Did some tests with -g, though my notebook doesn't need to switch to
text mode before geoing to suspend:

-g: doesn't work, apmd says: /usr/sbin/apmd: invalid option -- g

--graphic_switch: apmd starts and switches to first console before
suspending (I see it after it comes back) and back to X after wake up
and then X is killed and restarted... but that also happens for me when
using the old mechanism to do this stuff.

[Cooker] Cisco aironet kernel driver not working properly

[Jeremy]

the Aironet wireless card drivers for the 4800/340/350 2.4Ghz wireless cards 
does'nt work properly in the mandrake kernel.  

when I run iwconfig i get the following

Device eth1 has been compiled with version 0
of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 13.
Some things may be broken...

but it appears to run and it will let me configure certain things.

Also when i do a ifup eth1 i get the following error message:

ifup eth1
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
Determining IP information for eth1...

With the driver in the mandrake kernel HW address assigning doesn't appear to 
work properly. I assign the address with the line

ifconfig eth1 hw ether 11:11:11:11:11 (example address)

and it says it is assigned but the card doesn't actually use that address


Lastly Kismet doesn't function with the drivers because it says they are 
reporting a invalid value:

First i run kismet_monitor (which puts it into promiscuious mode)  then i run
kismet and it shows the following

FATAL: pcap reported netlink type 1 (EN10MB) for eth1.  This probably means 
you're not in RFMON mode or your drivers are reporting a bad value.  Make 
sure you have run kismet_monitor.

THis makes it look like there are 3 problems:


1. THe drivers are compiled with the wrong version of the wireless extensions
2. Setting the HW address of the wireless card doesn't work
3. Putting the card into promiscuious mode doesn't work


But all of these work with the driver included in the linus kernel.

Would it be possible to switch the driver in the mandrake kernel to the one in 
the linus kernel ?

[Cooker] Various serious problems with drakx

[John van Spaandonk]

Hi

I've experienced several problems with Drakx in the past.
Now (as per today) it got to the point that I cannot use the graphical install
anymore.
So I figured it's time for an overview of problems I encountered... :-)

My system:
DELL dimension XPS D233
Pentium 2, 233
STB 3D graphics, containing an S3Virge DX or GX chip.
Latest Cooker, downloaded it 22:30 Amsterdam time, January 8.
BTW, I use wget to get the latest Cooker, then make a boot floppy and 
install from disk.

1. I always had this problem, also with Mandrake 9.0...
The graphical install is displayed a bit garbled. 
For example, the background at the top of the page 
(supposed to be gray?) looks like when you look at a color
TV close up. You see big pixels, RGB.
Text is barely readable.
This could be a fault of the applied X-windows graphics driver?
I could live with this problem, and my friends did not encounter it (using 
more modern hardware), so I never thougt it worth mentioning up to now.

2. Using the latest Cooker install from disk as described above.
I now cannot install _at all_ using the drakx.
It gets to the stage (in stage_2) that it starts X.
Then it draws the top of the page (which looks like described above, 
showing Welcome to Mandrake Cooker or something like that)
and then bombs concluding with the message: the system can be safely rebooted.
I managed to write down some messages (from the alt-F4 window):
trying to load I810fb module with xress (800)
insmodding module failed
trying with FBDEV
trying with VGA16

meanwhile in the main window, drakx starts complaining about fonts that are
not configured, fontconfig that is not installed properly, displays that are 
not available etc.

At the moment I see no way of installing Cooker without damaging 
my file system - see problems 3.

3. I try to install anyway using the text-based install. 
Unfortunately drakx does not accept both text-based  and expert as
 options, so now I am stuck in the normal mode.
I select upgrade option (BTW what happened to upgrade packages only?
Is this now gone? I liked that because it skips unnessesary 
installation steps)
Packages are installed fine.
However then it FORCES me to install the boot loader, either on the 
boot sector or on the partition. Both options fail, because I have a name
in the GRUB menu that ends with a space! ("Mandrake Cooker ")
So now I cannot go further. 
First question? Why o why does Drakx force me to install a boot loader
when I select upgrade an existing system? It should at least offer me the 
possibility to skip this step.
It is very unfortunate that drakx at no place includes a cancel
installation option, so now I have to reset the computer, 
forcing me to repair two filesystems, reboot
and now I can using the new version of Cooker.
This part I  like!  :-)

By the way I really like the way things are going, draktools are improving
tremendously etc, so don't take this as negative critique!

I hope this helps.
I'm sorry for the length of this email.
Just ask if I need to provide more information / do experiments.

I did not see anything about these problems on the mailing list.
(apart from being forced to install a boot loader)
Am I the only one experiencing problems with the graphical setup?

I can see the scenario that you want to deal with, but is it easier to
just add one line to your skip.list or to rewrite key portions of the
urpmi script(s) and lib to do it?  All or none are always easier than
"some", especially when the definition of "some" changes per sysadmin.
Honestly I feel that is what skip.list is for.  As usual, fpons is the
ultimate authority on it as it's his baby.

You seem pretty aversed to editing skip.list.  What reasoning is behind
your position?

[Cooker] fontconfig 2.1-2mdk zero fonts problem

[Liam Quin]

After installing fontconfig-2.1-2mdk, gnome2 programs (e.g. gedit,
gconf-editor) refuse to start:

$ gedit
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org

strace(1) reveals that programs are reading the cache, and fc-list
returns 511 entries (lower than before).

I note that the cache files contain what looks suspiciously like garbage
as the charset entry for each font, but I'm not sure if that's the
problem.  The previous version of fontconfig did the same.

Running fc-cache -v as root doesnt' help:

I can definitely do this. What I am wanting to do is keep urpmi from
doing unnecessary things. If there is no good reason for urpmi to do
this new behavior then why add it? I'm hoping the urpmi developers can
explain the reasoning behind it, I haven't heard anything yet.

Just imagine other people who have lots of SuperFoo type applications.
It becomes annoying real quick. I just want to keep a good tool from

As long as urpmi is not in the "basesystem" there is no reason to

Re: [Cooker] Bug in gcc-3.2.1 .src.rpm build

[Dean S. Messing]

This is to report that with the cleanup of my "alternatives" stuff
for libgcj the gcc-3.2.1 build went through just fine.

Just for fun I did a

rpm -e --nodeps $(cat files | sed 's/\.athlon.rpm//')

where `files' contained the 21 .rpm names associated to gcc-3.2.1.

I then did

rpm -Uvh files

and looked in /usr/include/libgcj-3.2.1/
and found the link

libgcj-3.2.1 --> ../../usr/include/libgcj-3.2.1/

which, of course, is invalid (and bogus).
This was _not_ there when I installed gcc-3.2.1 from the hand-intervened
build from yesterday.

I'm not sure where it came from but I went ahead, re-deleted all the
rpms as above, hand deleted all the associated links in
/etc/alternatives and /var/lib/rpm/alternatives (by looking at
creation times) and deleted the directory /usr/include/libgcj-3.2.1/
with its bogus link file and re-installed the 21 rpms.


All seems to be correct now.  Don't quite understand where that
funny link came from.

I agree.  And with the cleanup of the "alternatives" links for libgcj-3.2
which I mentioned in my eariler private mail to you, I think this
build is going to work.  I just looked in the BUILD/gcc-3.2.1 dir
and I neither see the bogus link nor the root/etc directory
in:

/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/gcc-3.2.1/obj-athlon-mandrake-linux-gnu/gcc/include

But I'll wait to completion of the build before I say any more.
It's currently do the compiler tests.

But I _will_ say that all I did on this machine that was different
than the laptop on which building always has worked was that I built
and installed gcc-3.2-4mdk from cooker in late Nov/early Dec.  I'm
guessing that something in _that_ install screwed up the alternatives
links for libgcj and led to my current problems.

So the fact that nobody has seen it only means that very few have
walked the exact path I did. Since I didn't even know about
"alternatives" before two days ago, I doubt I am (directly) to blame :-)
But who knows.  Clearly the bug is not in the current package.

The %post macro is executed *only* when you install the actual
i586.rpm.  It is not involved in the build process at all.

Then I was wrong, it's not leftover files causing the problem.

However, considering that nobody else has this problem, and considering
that it CAN'T have anything to do with the fact that it's a dual athlon,
I can only conclude that you have a non-standard system, and the error
is due to having a mix of 9.0 and cooker rpms on the same system.

[Cooker] Newer version of rawwritewin...

I just noticed that the version of rawwritewin in the dosutils
directory in Cooker is version 0.3

At the page:
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm

there is version 0.7

the binary:
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwritewin-0.7.zip

and source:
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwritewin-0.7.src.zip

I'm not sure you read the above carefully (or maybe I was not clear):
I know about the buildroot directory in /var/tmp (and the little shell
rpm.tmp. script in /var/tmp assocaiated to it.

My point was the existence of the root/etc directory in
/var/tmp/gcc-3.2.1-root/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.2.1/include/

On the machine (my laptop) for which the build goes through, this directory
is _not_ present.  Only root/usr.

I know. I probably was sloppy in my terminolgy if I said "compile" when
I should have said "build".  I do realise the problem is occuring
during "installation" into the buildroot.  That's how come I was
able to "fix" it.

ls -s "exposing" the failure.  The existence of the link is "causing"

I know how to make sure there are no leftovers.  And there are none.
Each build is clean.  I have even deleted the the unpacked sources and
the spec file and done rpm -i on the .src.rpm a couple of times
"just in case".

No I (think) I mean in the BUILD dir.  After deleting
the root/etc/  and the bogus link in

/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/gcc-3.2.1/obj-athlon-mandrake-linux-gnu/gcc/include

I also deleted the buildroot in /var/tmp

rpm --short-circuit -bi gcc.spec
and it rebuild the buildroot and generated the .rpm files
This was couple of days ago and so I hope I am not experiencing

It does for me too, but works in Phoenix. I'm not sure what the problem
is, exactly though. I'm suspecting a gcc version thing.

At any rate, it would still be sueful to have the mime type in the apache
conf file: Mandrake Linux can be sued as a web server for non-mozilla
web browsers :-)

When this first came up, the solution was to delete or move the 
lib/i686 directory as soon as it was installed.  It's either under /tmp
or /mnt during the install.

Actually, I think my proposal for having user-defineable
provide/requires etc for urpmi would solve this one too, but I still
think it shouldn't be messing with RPMs that it's not busy with ...

One could just add (in this case):

Provides: IBM-SDK
to whichever file fpons decides to use, if he can implement it ... maybe
 even a gui from rpmdrake (that's probably asking too much ...)

[Cooker] Via EPIA Installing Problems Mandrake 9

[Michael Nagler]

Hallo, 

I cant run Mandrake 9.0 Final! 

My problem is "There was an error installing 
packages: XFree86-4.2.1-3mdk.i586".

If I answer yes at "Go on any way" the installation continues, 
but later I get another error "An error occurred - mkinitrd 
failed". From here the installation loops between this error 
message and a dialog where I can add bootloader entries.

Here are the Mainboard spec:

VIA EPIA Mini-ITX
VIA C3
VIA Apollo PLE133 North Bridge
ATA-100/66/33
VIA VT8231 South Bridge
VIA AC-97 Audio Onboard
VIA 10/100 Ethernet LAN
VIA TV Out
PC1300/100 SDRAM

I have tried different CD-Rom media incl. RW cd's.
I have used 3 different VIA EPIA mainboards and CD rom
drives but without any luck.

What can I do?

Thank you very much!

[Cooker] [Bug 759] [urpmi] New: urpmi should not consider unrelated unresolved dependencies

[[Bug 759]]

https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=759

   Product: urpmi
 Component: urpmi
   Summary: urpmi should not consider unrelated unresolved
dependencies
   Version: 4.2-4mdk
  Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I am pasting in the email I sent to the Cooker list as I have only received one
response from MandrakeSoft employees so far.

-

I noticed that urpmi now tries to figure out all the unresolved
dependencies on your system just like how apt does. I think this is
extremely annoying behavior and I wish I was disabled by default. 

Justification:

I have an application, SuperFoo, installed. It has a dependency on IBM's
Java Runtime Environment (JRE). I need to use Sun's JRE because IBM
hasn't bothered to release one that likes gcc 3.2 yet. And I know from
my usage that it works fine with Sun's JRE. SuperFoo is a proprietary
application so I don't have the source for it. Having to repackage it
every release to remove the stupid hard requirement on IBM-JDK is
extremely annoying.

So I can install SuperFoo with straight rpm -Uvh --nodeps. Life is good
and I can use SuperFoo.

Now being the good Cooker person that I am, I do 'urpmi --auto-select'
to sync with the latest packages.

The latest urpmi says "Hey, we have unresolved dependencies! I MUST
uninstall SuperFoo!", even though SuperFoo has nothing to do with all
the other packages that I will be updating.

I hope you see where this is painful. Every time I want to update
Cooker, it will try to uninstall SuperFoo even though there is no reason
to.

Previously I have bragged to Debian users that urpmi is smarter because
it only concerns itself with the packages that are being
installed/upgraded.

Please tell me there is hope that urpmi can be made smart again?

--

To this François Pons responded:

Ok, I hope I will not hurt sensibility but urpmi doesn't care if
unrelated dependencies are unresolved. *BUT* urpmi when resolving
related dependencies (and related should be understanded in the very
large part) it may add unresolved dependencies.

--

So my question is why would this unrelated unresolved dependency be added? Or
using the example from above, why does it want to remove SuperFoo which has an
unresolved dependency on IBM-JDK even though nothing else that I am
installing/upgrading has any requirement on IBM-JDK (or anything Java related
for that matter).

Thanks.

Yes, I don't think this is a Mandrake bug per se, except that
someone should really take the time to fix this problem and apply
a custom patch.
gpm seems to lose synchronization with the mouse and only receive
an ACK character (250) instead of the intended id (3 for the
imps2 IIRC).
It has been reported many times, some people have submitted
patches, but nothing has ever been applied.
It is the kind of glitch that is very annoying in the long term,
but not annoying enough as soon as you try to get into the source
code and fix it.
Here is the last thread I found about it:

Wow, what a well thought-out response! You're a freaking genius!

I NEED dependency checking. What I am asking for is the tool to only
worry about dependencies which are affected by the action being
requested.

There is no reason for urpmi to care about unrelated dependencies which
I made a conscious decision to break knowing very well the potential
results.

These items are not needed if he really has the latest cooker.  The kernel was
build with the current compiler, although he could get mismatch error messages
if he doesn't have the kernel sources installed.

I agree with the others that everything builds and works with no fuss, at least
with the cooker as of last night.

They compile fine, but you may need two things:

You should start your JVM with -Xmx 700M.

[Cooker] GPM error: unknown mouse type 250

Hello List!
Here is a minor problem with gpm that I have been living
with for quite some time (always??)  When switching from X to a
virtual console, I often encounter a badly behaving mouse, typically
requiring the following to get it straightened out.  The mouse that
I use is a Radio Shack branded trackball with three buttons and two
scroll-wheels.  It works excellently in X, and, when gpm's imps2 
driver loads without complaining, it works perfectly on the virtual
terminals as well.

Re: [Cooker] Re: [CHRPM] php-4.3.0-1mdk

[Jean-Michel Dault]

You're talking about php-ini, right?

I have come to a compromise:
- php.ini will contain the configuration directives for all php standard
modules.
- In that case, the ini file in /etc/php/[number]-[package].ini file
will contain just the "extension = package.so" line.

The reason for this is that, the /etc/php directory is loaded *after*
the main php.ini.

That means that if someone has some settings in php.ini, and we have the
same directives in one of the included ini files, the included ones will
*override* the settings in the main file, which is bad.

Some hosting companies use php as a CGI and put the php.ini in the
user's home directory so they can modify their own settings. 

So all directives must go in php.ini, unless this is a new extension,
then we can put the configuration directives in its own file.

[Cooker] NVidia drivers won't compile with newest Cooker

[Robert Fox]

Up until just recently - I have built the NVidia latest drivers from 
source (v4191) without problems.

Now with the latest Cooker (with the new glibc and 
kernel-2.4.21.pre2.1mdk) - the NVIDIA drivers won't compile.

There are a ton of warnings and problems -

Thanks,
R.Fox

There must be a simpler fix for this problem. I've tried it with

Can't you somehow translate all the shortcuts just for GNU Emacs?

Only if they all need new packages. Assuming not everyone runs cooker
(;-)) this shouldn't occur too often, and hopefully large roll-outs
would happen via cron.

The biggest advantage though comes when installing a new machine, you
can auto-install the machine as basic as you like, and on first boot it
will find urpmi sources and install site-specific packages assigned to
the machine (or it's OU, say when PTC releases their linux version of
Pro\Engineer, and we have converted all our CAD stations to Mandrake
;-)), when the user logs in, user-specific software would be installed
(say our Kylix users). In most cases, software installation would not be
that frequent. Updates can just be pulled nightly from a custom update
source, so updates shouldn't really be affected at al.

BTW, I haven't really played with --parallel much yet ...

Proprietary licenses remove freedom ... especially when they don't have
network-licenses ... this would just make it easier to control aspects
of software distribution. In most cases one wouldn't add too many
Conflicts (except maybe nmap and other cracking tools) on most machines.

I haven't used --parallel, so don't know what advantages it has in
bandwidth ... but assuming urpmi would run via cron, you could schedule
the LDAP mod to occur after-hours.

Not necesarrily, but there would be great advantage to being able to
modify msec behaviour via LDAP, at present the best was is a
conficuration rpm which contains :

[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ cat /etc/cae/security/msec/level.local

#!/usr/bin/python
from mseclib import *
allow_user_list(0)

[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ cat /etc/security/msec/level.local

#!/usr/bin/python
from mseclib import *
allow_user_list(0)

(user lists aren't that useful with LDAP and 100+ users)

The post-install script in our cae-conf package updates all config files
that exist in /etc/cae or /usr/cae (thanks kdm ...).

I guess these errors only appear for packages during an upgrade. If
there are still old plugins in the /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.5 dir
/usr/bin/gst-register from the %post script will fail. So you should
just ignore that errors.

Ahh, yes, for those wanting to keep apache1:

Provides: apache = 
(how would this work, before apache2->apache-2 it could have been
Provides: apache2
)

?

I can't think of any more that would be useful (Obsoletes?)

[Cooker] kernel incompatible with hardware?

[Chuck Shirley]

Hello,
Three weeks ago, I made a mention of this, but never saw a 
reply, so I just waited until a new kernel hit the mirrors.  I am
currently having to run kernel-enterprise-2.4.19-8.  I missed the
kernels between this one and 2.4.20-2, which did not work for me
(reporting errors at boot-time like "hda: lost interrupt"  I don't
know if it is related, but I also cannot run the latest version of 
X if I try to load the agpgart module, as X crashes, and the system
re-boots (loading agpgart has always required the 
"agp_try_unsupported=1" to work with my chipset (VIA Apollo Pro266))

I guess the X problem could be a feud between X and the Kernel, but
since I cannot run the newest kernel, I cannot verify this
hypothesis.  If anyone can suggest a remedy, or tests that I can do
to help with the correction of the problem, please let me know.

This is the hardware that is involved:
mainboard: IWill DVD 266-R (Apollo Pro266 Chipset) w/1024 Mb RAM
HDA: Maxtor 40 GB, 5400 RPM ATA-100 (on CMD 649 contoller, not in
any RAID configuration)
Video: ATI Radeon 64 MB DDR, X configured to run at AGPMode 4

This is the generic problem of distributed urpmi but with a lesser
extend. It means if almost everyone login at the same time, there will
be a lot of traffic downloading files ?

This could be another tools (of urpmi suite) allowing such behaviour,
for me it looks like better in that way.

But I think adding or removing a software is very hard for the user, it
removes a lot of freedom ?
