Re: [Cooker] what's the mess with the club ?
I think you guys are missing an important point. While contrib apps are unsupported, there is at least some assurance of quality. It's hard to get access (almost too hard), your work is closely watched (by people and by rpmlint), and other people can easily 'overtake' your package if it sucks. The club however, is almost uncontrolled. There is no rpmlint checking, almost anyone can get write access (by submitting one good rpm), and it's very hard to 'fix' someone else's package, as they retain the control over it by web interface. Also club has looser guidelines on licensing, and compilation. The only restriction is that your package must have a source and a binary rpm. And even at that, the source rpm can just be a wrapper for a binary (yanc). So while I agree that work done on the club should do more to help contribs, I don't think that club packages should be 'forced' into contribs, and I don't think that club volunteers should have any special access to contribs. That's not to say that they should remain separate, but I don't have a better solution right now. My main concern is to keep the quality of contribs packages at their current high level.

[Cooker] [Bug 1799] [XFree86] GATOS project's AVView TV tuner worked in MDK 9.0 but no longer works in 9.1 (any beta or RC)

The program instantly crashes and displays this message at launch. Having TV tuning capabilities is a major reason why I use Mandrake (Redhat doesn't work very well with GATOS.). Please coordinate with the GATOS team if necessary because I believe it affects all ATI All-In-Wonder cards. An AVView RPM that fixes the problem would be nice, but "make install" is fine as long as I can actually use my tv tuner. Thank you very much for your help. I am very pleased with the direction Mandrake is heading with 9.1 aside from this issue.

It doesn't contain such material, but it is structured in favour of a book-chapter-verse layout. Even if it did promote one religion in favour of others, I wouldn't exclude it on those grounds, it's not up to us to censor unless it's really going to offend people.

Obviously, I'm already using Mandrake, however. > Any other rational arguments for or against these packages? Yes, there are good arguments for inclusion, IMO. First a word about my particular bias. I have made a few insignificant contributions to the BibleTime Project and even less significant contributions to GnomeSword. They really aren't enough to be notable, but I want to be upfront with my position. 1.) As you said, many users already use this. I think its position on the Club speaks volumes about the amount of users that really want it included (as there are obviously many groups who want their favorite project included). 2.) As you also note, the software isn't only usable for texts of a certain religion. 3.) Even if we take it only as Bible software, there are many secular uses for Bible software: academic study of religion usage, psychological research, sociological research, etc. Hey, even many atheists keep a copy of the Bible around so they can debate against it! A.) From a religious stand point probably a good portion of Mandrake's users who are religious are Christian (that'd be me), Jewish, or Islamic, and all of these can benefit from these tools as well. 4.) Not only does Debian include it, Lindows includes a similar package as well. SuSE doesn't include any Bible software, but it does include a Qu'ranic prayer schedule tool and some related stuff. 5.) I'm very doubtful that more people will find a program named "BibleTime" offensive than the amount of people that find "BitchX" offensive. > (remember, there are a significant number of Mandrake users who already > use the software, and a significant number of club members have voted for > it, so please do not use arguments such as "how would they feel if we > included satanic or other offensive software", unless such material has > been requested by a large number of users on the club or on this list).

[Cooker] [Bug 2594] [Installation] New: Upgrade behavior ?

Version: 1.799 Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it is definitely not what I expected... I thought I would test "upgrade", which I've never used before, by upgrading an older cooker system to a newer one. The target system was a cooker from about a week ago, and the CDs were from yesterday. All seemed to go normally until I got a dialog message about "looking for packages to upgrade", after which I got the skeleton of the package install progress bar, except that there was no package name, no time estimate, and no number of packages. After a few seconds, the display switched to "post-install processing", and then displayed the Summary screen. I would swear that no packages were installed, in spite of the fact that the system being upgraded had every install category checked initially, and I know for a fact that there was a kernel upgrade to cooker in the interim. Quite a bit of time was spent "looking for packages to upgrade and rebuilding the rpm database", but there was no real disk activity to speak of. Is upgrade only supposed to be version to version, or should this upgrade attempt have refreshed all of the cooker packages which had changed between the initial install and when I burned the CDs I used ? BTW, I also tried this on a second system which was only a few days older than the CDs, with the same result. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

IMHO, the more packages we include in Contribs, the more value Mandrake gives to its users.

I'm also a little concerned here. Informal questionnaires like this are always going to attract replies from proactive individuals who have a specific interest in pushing whatever the questionnaire is talking about. Out of all the replies, almost all of them have been from people who follow some type of religion. It's important to take this into account. I am not religious in the sense of following a predefined path of religious guidance. However, I am not against the idea of others following religion if their activities do not affect others. Unfortunately, this goes against much of the grain of Christianity, which grew largely due to the activities of missionaries "converting" people. It could be construed that the inclusion of specialist software such as this would be the start of such a mission. I'm afraid that my view on the inclusion of religion based software tools into a distribution such as Mandrake is not a positive step. It would be far better to set up a non-official Mandrake supporters web site for religious software, where the users are responsible for the maintenance of a set of RPMs that install correctly on each distribution of Mandrake that is released. Such a web site could also provide links/files to the texts that you speak of that are required for the software to be any use. Since it would be necessary to downloaded these files, it would make sense to put the software RPMs there too.

The club has lots of binary-only apps. Unless you meant why couldn't it go in the club, in which case the answer is: it's already there.

[Cooker] jackd and kernel-mm
Okay, here's a simple test that gives a clear picture of how jack-realtime and the multimedia kernel work together. Test system: celeron 750, 256MB, cooker Benchmark: run jackd and ardour, record some music, record a second track (with full duplex), playback, then open galeon and oowriter at the same time, count the number of xruns (jack buffer underruns) Results: cooker kernel, cooker jackd: countless xruns, between 10 and 150 msec cooker kernel, cooker jackd (realtime option, as root): 3 xruns, 150-160 msec each mm kernel, cooker jackd: countless xruns, between 10 and 50 msec mm kernel, jackd-realtime (as user): not one single xrun So the results are very conclusive. mm kernel reduces the latency (by up to 100 msec per xrun!), and jackd-realtime eliminates 99% to 100% of the xruns. Plus Danny's beautiful kernel allows jackd-realtime to run as non-root. This is beautiful. The Mandrake Audio Workstation is born. We mock specialty distros. We laugh out loud at them. Daily.

[Cooker] ardour
I'm freaking out here. I finally got around to trying ardour today. It's AMAZING. Up yours Cakewalk! :-) It's a bit crashy, but if you remember what NOT to do, it runs fine. Sound is great. Works great even without the multimedia kernel, but better with. I'll report of comparisons later. Gotta go record a song I wrote a month ago, but I was wating for audacity to become usable. So much for that. Moral of the story is, getting our ardour/jack-realtime/kernel-multimedia setup for 9.1 is going to be SO worth it! Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.

I would rather advice to upgrade your distro, as 8.1 is quite old now, provided you can download more recent one. Otherwise, you'd better update your gcc version rather than downgrade it, maybe just by rebuild current gcc src package. i would like really very clear explanation. i am computerscience student in senegal and we use here to work with windows.we have some notion in linux by some of our french teacher who come in senegal for us but now none of them are here and i am the only one who want to continue with it Let's see if someone else on cooker list has better idea...

If sword provides an agnostic frontend for comparative litereature study (meaning it does not care about the content of the text it uses, only the formatting of it), then it is only incumbent on the community of interested people to provide texts formatted for use with it. The texts could be religious or secular. It would be simply a tool; others provide the material to be examined using it. -- Hoyt http://www.maximumhoyt.com Run with scissors. Remove mattress tags.

[Cooker] LTSP 4.0 Alpha2 -LTSP Build Environment - Bash won't compile
LTSP has created a Build environment for creating applications which run natively on the thin clients. I've tried to compile their build environment on Mandrake 9.1rc1 and it fails to compile Bash. I had to install bison first. Then the LTSP folks suggested that I try compiling their version of gcc 3.2 instead of using 3.2.2 that Mandrake provides. Anyway, I really Like LTSP. I think that it's going to make _Huge_ inroads into government agencies. In my opinion, Mandrake is the best free desktop OS out there and I want to ensure that LTSP and Mandrake get along well together. Since LTSP is still considering their code alpha, there's time to iron these incompatibilities out before both of you release your final versions. Thanks for your consideration.

I had a running Cooker system with a BT878 based card already in it - I since swapped out the card with the SAA7134 based card and restarted. The new card was not recognised. I then started MCC and chose Hardware - then DrakTV - which then complained that NO TV card was found. So I had no video device auto-detected. You are right that I should have checked whether there was a driver under the modules directory - but I kinda expected that after the switch of cards, and using DrakTV it should be able to catch that.
