both, I only get a maximum of 10-15% speed difference.
The difference in with/without MMX is of course huge :-)
No package will be built with MMX optimizations by default as there are
Pentium out there without those extensions. However, if your application
dynamically links against some optimized DSOs that would be fine to put
those libraries in */lib/mmx/* or */lib/sse{,2}/*. But you will be stuck
if they decided to dlopen() their plugins/libraries.

Right now my wireless is working... problem is ... I'm not exactly sure how it's working... See, what it does, and what the smattering of docs around the web say. don't match (yes most of them are written for RH 6.x so it's expected). No complaint about this... just pointing one thing out. Laptops and mobile computing are a future that is waiting for Linux. ACPI improvements. Wireless becoming less confusing. The ability to have multiple profiles (Laptops move networks don't, please god if there is any one thing needed it's this!) all of this is an area that is a weak point right now. SuSE is trying to move into this area. 8.1 is supposed to be a 'wireless' release... (Note it doesn't work any better here than MDK does) Nonetheless it is a future. Hopefully this future will include MDK.

[Cooker] Some Ideas for the future
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Ok seeing Its now feature request/suggestion time (by which I mean the sudden surge in threads about features rather than bugs) I'll join in with a few Ideas that might improve things. 1)I'd like to see some new features to urpmi most of which others have already mentioned: - - resume on partial downloads as the default behavior - - rsync support (if it isn't already present) - - support for multiply mirror choosing the fastest/local ones first - - src.rpm compilation and installation. I'd like to be able to set up urpmi to use a source RPM they way it currently uses mandrake rpm repositories. I'd like to be able to install a simply BASE system a kernel, the basic libraries, gcc and other needed tools, Mandrake tools and urpmi. Then simply type some thing along the lines of urpms (urpmi for SRPMS) urpms flags=--mach=k6-2 -o3 kde-full urpms would then sort out the dependencies required for a full install of kde the kde packages build them in the correct order with the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS set to the flags option and install them setting up kdm or mdkdm. I'd also like to be able to do the same with gcc so urpms flags=xxx gcc 2)Next I'd propose the development of an app called some thing like bugdrake. It would be a Wizard/Gui client side front end for Bugzilla. It would ask for specific info that users often forget to add to their bug reports, if it was a hardware problem it would ask if it could scan the machine and collect info that would be of use in hunting down the bug. As well as checking to find out what version of Mandrake the user was using eg mdk9.0, mdk9.1RC1, mdk9.0/cooker hybrid etc and if the users had selected a specific package for the bug report check it and it's dependence's to find out what version they were and check that the user hadn't replaced them with non standard versions. It would then gather all the info and submit it to bugzilla.Possibly it could check for any simliar bug reports using some sort of alogarithim and show any thing that showed up as being similar to the user and asking them if it was the same bug. In which case it would mark it as a duplicate and add it as a comment to the end of the previous bug report to supply additional info. This should/would improve the quality and detail of most bug reports which I think most people here would agree would be very usefull! 3)The final suggestion I have is for the creation of an App called something like drakecooker or cookerdrake. This would be a program for helping with cooker testing. A gui or commandline interface which could control updateing the cooker installation. Allowing users to choose when and what parts of cooker they wanted to update and set up cron jobs to do it. - -It would report/list what packages had been updated after runing the update cooker command and list the changes made to them (scan the changelog in the spec file). - - List requests for moreinfo on bugs and specific requests for testing of new or updated packages. It would be closely tied to bugdrake allowing easy bug reporting etc. - -report bugs in areas of interest. So you could tell it you wanted to mainly test Multimedia pacakges it would then list new, needinfo and unresolved bugs from the mulitmedia packages section that you could have a look at, test etc. - - and have a package/cvs upload front end for uploading changes or patches. I think the creation of such apps would help the cooker community in it's efforts to improve Mandrake Linux and crush the ever present stream of bugs. I'd personally give the bugdrake app ago my self if my programing skills were up with it but they're certainly not (abit of java and tiny bit of perl and pascal)! What do you think?

Re: [Cooker] Some Ideas for the future
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Other things that it could be used for would be for the download of large Main packages. For example the updated Kernel-source or kde packages. Urpmi could ask for the CD to be inserted grab the origional versions of the package's off that and then use rsync to update them to the new/current version of the kernel-sources/kde after all most of the kernel doesn't change between updates It would save abit of download time for dialup users. Theres over 100MB's of updates for mdk 9 if the orgional packages where copied off cd and then updated to the new versions using rsync you'd probably save at least HALF of that bandwidth and a fair bit of time!

Could the application itself just have runtime detection of CPU
features, so you can compile SSE/MMX support in the one package, but it
won't try to use it on CPUs that don't support it? I think mplayer does
this, and didn't use to.

A gui or commandline interface which could control updateing the cooker installation. Allowing users to choose when and what parts of cooker they wanted to update and set up cron jobs to do it. -It would report/list what packages had been updated after runing the update cooker command and list the changes made to them (scan the changelog in the spec file). - List requests for moreinfo on bugs and specific requests for testing of new or updated packages. It would be closely tied to bugdrake allowing easy bug reporting etc. -report bugs in areas of interest. So you could tell it you wanted to mainly test Multimedia pacakges it would then list new, needinfo and unresolved bugs from the mulitmedia packages section that you could have a look at, test etc. - and have a package/cvs upload front end for uploading changes or patches. Cooker is supposed to be an experimental distribution, higly instable, not meant for everyday use. If you're using it, you're supposed to be some kind of unix guru able to recover your hard disk the day when booting won't work anymore. More and more users forget about this, and would like to benefit from the bleeding edge applications available in cooker without suffering any risk. Moreover, they want gui because command-line is too difficult to use, and documentation to hard to read. That's a misunderstanding of cooker purpose IMHO. Investing time and resource for improving cooker usability is a non-sense, not because we want to stay l337, but because those resource would be more useful for other purposes. Of course, we could discuss of what kind of improvement, but GUIs are definitevely too much work, and there is nothing in your list that could not be solved by some trivial script. -- Disks are always full.

No package will be built with MMX optimizations by default as there are
Pentium out there without those extensions. However, if your application
dynamically links against some optimized DSOs that would be fine to put
those libraries in */lib/mmx/* or */lib/sse{,2}/*. But you will be stuck
if they decided to dlopen() their plugins/libraries.
I can understand that in some way, but mjpegtools without mmx is just not
usable. Who the hell would use mpeg2enc on a whatever-pentium-w/o-mmx. What

the alternatives solution sounds reasonable to me (easy to make and

Some other people here already confirmed, that the problem goes away, when you disable antialiasing in Qt and recompile it. I guess, that the bug is in Qt's handling of antialiasing, it does not fall back to non-antialiased mode when Render is not available and crashes the application. Jan I'll ask again then.

Think back to the isa sound card problem that was in cooker last week it took half a dozen emails before it was found out that the card was an ISA version. The biggest problem there was the user not doing what he was asked to do, while flatly refusing to listen to what the developers told him about his card. He would most likely have complained that drakbug misrepresented his hardware anyway. And we only have the influx of bad bug reports from about RC1 onwards anyway.

I am in total admiration by your perl skills. As the Capernaum
Centurion would say if he had been a programmer, I am not worthy

However, I am a bit deceived by your elitist attitude. By the sound
of your e-mails, you seem to assume that everyone should know how to
use the DrakX code.
sorry if i give you such an attitude but as i receive and answer lots
of emails each day, i used to write short, sharp mails.
even my familly and my friends keep ask me to write longer, nicer
emails :-(
as for changelogs and cvs commits, i use to be even more concise.
what's more, i was under bugs pressure and my grand father died, so i
was still more unpleasant than usual, if possible.
sorry if you feel bad because of it[-1]
However, I haven't been able to find any information,
neither on the DrakX web page, or in the drakxtools package itself, or
in perl-MDK, in the twiki, in the CVS, and of course I tried Google.
well, in fact, there's no such doc[0] :-(
for mdk9.2, i would like to write some inline doc which we would
extract in some docbook document like the kernel folks did.
for the moment, it's just an idea floating somewhere on my todo list.
The only documentation I could find was:
http://www.mandrakeforum.org/print.php?lang=ensid=662
I based DrakClick on that exact same code.
do not take it bad: your code was fine as for mdk9.0 (though you
should have use interactive instead of directly writing a gtk+ app,
but that's not so important).
not for mdk9.1.
this is not your fault since:
- there's no doc anywhere
- we have neither the ressources nor the time to write some docs,
- some developers think having perl scripts as binary is enough
as for embedding:
here's the story:
-
sadly (or happilly, depending on each thoughs), we[1] clean lots of
stuff in drakx internals, especially drakconf -- embedded apps
communication.
basically, in the old days, the app used to send SIG_USR2 to drakconf
to warn mcc it was ready to display. then mcc would hide the icon
animation and display the application.
on exiting, the app would send SIG_USR1 to tell mcc to display again
its icons.
there were some obvious flaws in that design:
- if app crashed before sending SIG_USR2, mcc would keep display the
animation (unless you click on cancel or you manually did a killall
-SIG_USR1 drakconf)
- if app unespectly crashed while displaying, the mcc would keep
displaying a gray area instead of showing back its icons
(unless one manually sent SIG_USR1)
- ...
while working on the mdk9.2, more bugs came from this approach,
mainly:
- wait messages were embedded which was horrible (from a gui
viewpoint)
- hidden tools and lots of embedding bugs in scannerdrake,
printerdrake, and other interactive written tools
so, i cleaned the way embedded apps and mcc communcate.
as the gtk::socket send gtk signals when a application create and
display a gtk::plug widget (plug-added signal), or destroy it
(plug-removed signal), i decided to remove the somewhat mythical black
magic SIG_USRx stuff and to let gtk+ automatically told us when app is
ready to display.
what's more, as the gtk::plug widget is destroyed when the app exit
(either by design decision and proper exit or by unexpected crash), we
have automatic mcc icons restoring on app crash, proper exit, ...
in the process, i badly introduced the infamous bug #2672 with an
additionnal cleanup :-(
here's the embedding rule of thumb:
---
mcc append --embedded XID to tools command line arguments when
they're embedded.
apps have to create a toplevem gtk::window when non embedded and a
gtk::plug widget when embeded.
the gtk::plug has to be created with the XID (some kind of obscure
unique x window id) passed in ARGV
so no more magic kill -USR1,
here's the authentification rule of thumb:
--
in mdk9.0 and previous releases, tools use to call
interactive-vnew('su', 'icon name')
there's no more banner icon, so no more icon name parameter
the su part is now handled by common::require_root_capability()
splited out so that:
- pure gtk+ app can get rid of interactive)
- app that still use gtk+1 such as drakcronat do not badly eat all cpu
power trying to crash despite gtk-perl exceptions caught by eval {}
because of interactive using gtk+2
here's the gui rule of thumb:
-
as i already write, tools have to create a toplevem gtk::window when
non embedded and a gtk::plug widget when embeded.
for small stuff, instead of writing pure gtk+ app, you better should
use the interactive api/toolkit.
there's no real doc. you can look:
- at gi/docs/interactive/* in the cvs for basic usage.
- drakedm, patched drakclick, drakxtv

I had sent you an email a few days back with some troubleshooting steps, but not sure if you received it. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: I'm very late on this report, but I've been trying to get it fixed to no avail. I have two boxes, one running 9.0, the other 9.1RC2. Both get an IP address allocated via DHCP and both are on the same network. However, for the 9.1 box it cannot seem to resolve hostnames correctly, forcing you to specify IP addresses in your applications. (Resolving doesn't seem to be working correctly) In both the machines, /etc/resolv.conf looks as follows. (Automagically configured from DHCP) /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 10.1.1.16 nameserver 10.1.1.10 search af.didata.local Now on the 9.0 box I do a ping (ping terminal.af.didata.local) to a Windows terminal server and it works correctly: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$ ping terminal.af.didata.local PING terminal.af.didata.local (10.1.0.240) from 10.1.35.66 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from terminal.af.didata.local (10.1.0.240): icmp_seq=1 ttl=125 time=0.360 ms ...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$ In other news, doing a ping terminal on the 9.0 box works, on the 9.1 box not. However, doing a nslookup on terminal on both boxes results in the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$ nslookup terminal ... Name: terminal.af.didata.local Address: 10.1.0.240 [EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$ Which means that at least that part works. I'm stumped. Any ssh, telnet, rdesktop, etc. to any hostname (with or without the af.didata.local domain) doesn't work. Doing an nslookup and using that IP to connect to, does. The 9.1 machine was upgraded from a working 9.0 box to 9.1RC1 which broke the addresseing. RC2 has not addressed this problem. In addition in 9.1 /etc/hosts still does not contain 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost, instead only 127.0.0.1 localhost which breaks some applications. (eg. Eclipse debugger, not part of main but in full use here) On new bootups the DHCP configuration seems to change it back to localhost again, forcing you to make the change manually to get your applications to work.

[Cooker] When the isos will be avalaible?
I had a recent cooker as a second system in my hard driver, but the cooker downloaded yesterday gave me lots of problem (the installation were looking for an old kernel file and some more not found packages; probably due that the scripts were still not updated). Now I am runing 9.0, but I need 9.1 to make good looking pf files using LaTeX files (the pdf fonts looks ugly when I compile a file, but under 9.1 there were very good!). At the moment I haven't seen a final 9.1 in any mirror, neither the mirrors starting to download the isos. So, will be the isos avalaibles soon or must I install the old cooker runing I had? (from two mondays ago) Thanks in advance for the comments. -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Departamento de Biología Vegetal Universidad de Murcia E-30100 Murcia España (Spain)

I agree that performing an audit on Mandrake tools is important, it's laughable to suggest we audit every piece of software we include. Not every sofware : i was only asking about specific mandrake tools and critical ones : i think about verifying a last time, just before releasing, that permissions on tools installed in /sbin/ and /usr/sbin are correct, for example... If fact, my question is : what is done about security before a new release ? Is there a specific security last step, as there is a features freeze ecc. ? not much is done. it may be good that such works is done by people other than mdk developers. it would be nice if some volunters check and reports strange things Why not trying to develop some partnership with engineer schools ? I think mandrake team could go and meet students, offering Cooker CDs and ask students to test it, or organize a debug party : one day with students and mandrake team, testing things and correcting bugs on the fly : that would be great for students, would be a good publicity, and would be useful... Of course this does not concerns security fixes. But if students are in the abbit of working with mandrake, perhaps they will have the idea to join or create projects around it.

A mandrake developer saying to the testers on the cooker mailing list that 9.1 is out is not an official announcement. There has been some controversy during the 9.0 pre-order process because of the credit cards being billed a long time before the product is shipped. The official announcement of the pre-order of 9.1 on Mandrakeclub has a warning that credit cards will be billed beforehand.

I found libqt3 8mdk and current is 13 let me downgrade and try it James This just confirms it - XFree 3.3.6 didn't have Render yet, that came only with the 4.x series, that's why you have the problem. Some other people here already confirmed, that the problem goes away, when you disable antialiasing in Qt and recompile it. I guess, that the bug is in Qt's handling of antialiasing, it does not fall back to non-antialiased mode when Render is not available and crashes the application. Jan I'll ask again then. Should this be reported upstream? I didn't see anything about this in the KDE bugzilla. I did not check trolltech. It wasn't a kde problem... a patch was applied to libqt3 between 12mdk and 13mdk that forces the use of AA fonts, which will fail if the Render extension is not present. There's a link in a previous message that points to a version of libqt3 without that patch and it works fine. Scott

The difference in with/without MMX is of course huge :-)
No package will be built with MMX optimizations by default as there are
Pentium out there without those extensions. However, if your application
dynamically links against some optimized DSOs that would be fine to put
those libraries in */lib/mmx/* or */lib/sse{,2}/*. But you will be stuck
if they decided to dlopen() their plugins/libraries.
OK, how about a half-step towards Gentoo?
If URPMI knows what architecture it's really running under, you could add a
new --optimi[sz]e switch to it so that...
urpmi --optimise mjpegtools
...would download (if needed) or fetch from source CDs the appropriate
SRPM(s), install them, rebuild them for the correct CPU, and (if needed)
install the optimised RPMs over the top of the existing unoptimised
package(s).
It would also be relatively straightforward to cache/log the names of packages
that had been optimised, to allow updates on same to be automagically
re-optimised.
What would be truly magnificant would be a way to do this and cache the
results, so that the recompile need only be done once if the package is
destined for a flock of identical machines.
Next project, of course, would be `urpmi --optimize-all' followed by a 2-day
pause while everything gets torn down, rebuilt and reinstalled. (-:

This would turn megabytes-long re-downloads of the updates list into kilobytes-long resyncs. 3)The final suggestion I have is for the creation of an App called something like drakecooker or cookerdrake. This would be a program for helping with cooker testing. Hear, hear! Cheers; Leon

[Cooker] Bla, bla, but no 9.1 date
Cooker seems to be stoped from yesterday. I suppose lots of Mandrake users as me are waiting to see the isos into the mirrors. But nothing at the moment and, worse, not idea about the date of the release. Could anyone of the Mandrake team give us a clue?

All this PROVIDED that Mandrake really did release it just a few days after I announced it, and not a couple of weeks later. The truth is this company posted that it was released on their website prior to it actually being released on the hope and.or desire that it would be released on some time table that wouldn't cause them or their customers any grief. In some places this is illegal. I know the credit card companies take a dim view of such business practices. Especially when a company does not clearly state an expected release date and instead says that it has been released. This firm, btw, uses paypal and credit cards. Bob Finch I'm not sure exactly what you are getting at. Mandrake store sells SImple really, check the link, that is a third party and not Mandrake declaring it was released before it was. Bob pre-orders. (Notice the pre). A mandrake developer saying to the testers on the cooker mailing list that 9.1 is out is not an official announcement. There has been some controversy during the 9.0 pre-order process because of the credit cards being billed a long time before the product is shipped. The official announcement of the pre-order of 9.1 on Mandrakeclub has a warning that credit cards will be billed beforehand. This warning should be added under the important information heading for the pre-orders on mandrakestore. Sascha Noyes - -- Please encrypt all correspondence.

Re: [Cooker] 9.2 wishlist: urpmi --optimise
Perhaps Mandrake can/would compile the whole thing (distro) -mcpu i686 -02
instead of -march ???. That way you can ...have your cake and eat it too.
Also, for those that just have to have more than what that offers (which is
little as it turns out , according to the gcc folks), then have the build
process passed a variable for compilation from a rc file in etc, which
itself can be changed easily enough. Many distros are doing this now.

I believe that Steffen is right that mjpegtools was compiled without

When I compile for i586 and athlon side by side and I enable MMX for

The difference in with/without MMX is of course huge :-)
No package will be built with MMX optimizations by default as there are
Pentium out there without those extensions. However, if your application
dynamically links against some optimized DSOs that would be fine to put
those libraries in */lib/mmx/* or */lib/sse{,2}/*. But you will be stuck
if they decided to dlopen() their plugins/libraries.
OK, how about a half-step towards Gentoo?
If URPMI knows what architecture it's really running under, you could add a
new --optimi[sz]e switch to it so that...
urpmi --optimise mjpegtools
...would download (if needed) or fetch from source CDs the appropriate
SRPM(s), install them, rebuild them for the correct CPU, and (if needed)
install the optimised RPMs over the top of the existing unoptimised
package(s).
It would also be relatively straightforward to cache/log the names of
packages that had been optimised, to allow updates on same to be
automagically re-optimised.
What would be truly magnificant would be a way to do this and cache the
results, so that the recompile need only be done once if the package is
destined for a flock of identical machines.
Next project, of course, would be `urpmi --optimize-all' followed by a
2-day pause while everything gets torn down, rebuilt and reinstalled. (-:

[Cooker] [Bug 3448] [XFree86] New: bad X nice value
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3448 Product: XFree86 Component: packaging Summary: bad X nice value Version: 4.3-5mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I saw that X had a 0 nice value. It previously had -10 nice value (9.0 release). Having a 0 nice value gived me some problems when I created a software with a high framerate (24 frames/s). My X server could not follow this rate for the given window size and it become overloaded because it used the most part of its time in managing memory. The more it became late, the more it had to manage memory (not displayed frames) and the more it became slow. It bringed my computer to crash. I agree that my software should adapt its framerate (what I did later), but the problem is that an non root user crashed the system (i.e. a developper testing a new software) ! Think at the other users which used the node I crashed ! Simply changing the nice value to -1 fixed the problem. Previous (r 9.0) -10 nice value was good. I think that all what handles user interface have to be more near from real time. In case X server is not used, it will not consume CPU time. For application server use, simply shutdown X or manually increase X nice value. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
Re: [Cooker] Bla, bla, but no 9.1 date
Till said me that the cooker is now uptodate (yesterday I downloaded cooker but some script were still old and the iso creation gave me lot of errors), so tomorrow morning I will update my cooker miror and create the isos.

There's a link in a previous message that points to a version of libqt3 without that patch and it works fine. Render is NOT needed for doing AA with Xft2.. This was only needed when using Xft1.. Then why do QT apps crash when AA is compiled in? Can't find render and crash. Again, is this a bug in QT3 and should it be reported upstream? -- Greg

Now I am runing 9.0, but I need 9.1 to make good looking pf files using
LaTeX files (the pdf fonts looks ugly when I compile a file, but under
9.1 there were very good!).
You can do the same in 9.0. Just add \usepackage{times} into the preamble
of you document and that should allow nice PDFs.
Use
dvips -Ppdf your_dvi_file.dvi
when producing the ps and then ps2pdf will do an excellent job for
converting your latex generated postscript file.

[Cooker] New features
How about a unified boot iso like SuSE does, instead of maintaining seperate hd, network, etc. floppy images. This would allow me to burn one cd to do all installs from, be it network, hd or cd. Also, because it removes the size contraint of the floppy image, it would allow te use of XFS and perhaps other obscure modules on hd and network installs. -- Greg

I debug rsync support myself. Not sure but to be really usefull doesn't rsync support require a local copy of the package to update (compare to the netone and d/l the difs)? Otherwise I see no difference between it and ftp. It will always help with hdlists ...

That way you can ...have your cake and eat it too. Also, for those that just have to have more than what that offers (which is little as it turns out , according to the gcc folks), then have the build process passed a variable for compilation from a rc file in etc, which itself can be changed easily enough. Many distros are doing this now. Or you can just make your own ~/.rpmmacros file and do what you like, or use a target option passed to rpm. The problem isn't rebuilding a package. The problem is rebuilding many packages, and only the ones required, with fetching them remotely if necessary (which the rpm rebuilder doesn't do).
