[Cooker] OpenOffice won't work
This is my first post to cooker. I just loaded 9.1 final and installed almost everything except the server packages. When I logged into KDE, I tried to bring up OpenOffice (OO) and the OO screen came up and stayed in the middle of my desktop. It never finished loading. I used 'top' to kill the processes. I deleted the .ooffice directory and tried it again and no go. I switched to icewm and had the same results. I removed the rpms and reinstalled using Rpmdrake. Same thing. The only thing I noticed is that when I am in KDE and run 'top', it says there are 3 users logged on. I did a 'who' and it listed: jallread :0 Mar 30 02:11 jallread pts/0Mar 30 02:12 jallread pts/1Mar 30 03:06 I did the same in Icewm and got: jallread :0 Mar 30 02:11 I really don't think this has anything to do with OO, but I thought it was strange.

Re: [Cooker] OpenOffice won't work
Don't know why, but sometimes the .openoffice directory and its contents is created with errors. In those cases the only why to have it runing has been to me copy a whole .openoffice directory to my home from an account where it is runing; after that OpenOffice runs fine. A .openoffice from a previous 1.0.1 release also works. Hope this help to solve the problem now, but we had to investigate the causes of it. Have you tried with a new account (I suppose you used your old home partition with users created previously). Regards El Domingo, 30 de Marzo de 2003 10:08, Johnathon B.

No, but I'd guess Mandrake has less aggressive compilation options for a reason. Would the distro actually all build right with more aggressive ones? How about a slightly tangent viewpoint. http://www17.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030217/index.html Here at toms they do a shootout of 65 processors from 100mhz to screamers. The most interesting thing is the 100mhz cpu with a monster GeForce video card and 512Mb ram that rocks with UT2003. The point is. Yes there is something you can get out of optimization of software for a specific usage, hardware. IF you have a very narrow usage band. When I was working for a realtime video company we would optimize the heck out of software for exactly what we did. It ran faster. But, it didn't do a dang bit of good for the box in general and in fact tended to make a number of programs we didn't use slower. (Most notably if I remember right MySQL and other DataBases slowed way down if we ran it on one of our optimized boxes.) A large move like i386 to i586 is significant for a number of apps. Some ... it really doesn't help. But to be honest. A better video card and more ram does more in a case like this than anything else. Want a real optimization. Buy a CPU with a larger L1 cache. Makes a huge difference. James

Under Windows9x, mouse cursors were parts of themes. And I think that the state of some KDE themes leaves things to be desired, since some themes do not set the Window decorations, icons or backgrounds. Maybe Mandrakesoft needs to take some initiative here and make Galaxy a complete theme under both KDE and GNOME, including backgrounds, cursor themes, sounds, etc, instead of just being a set of consistent widget sets and window decorations. Galaxy is very good, but it still isn't a theme IMHO. As evidenced by the fact that when I enable a different theme, and then try to restore Galaxy, I have to run 4 different KDE Control Center modules. The GNOME state is slightly better.

My point exactly. (-:
What, that it is in contrib? Or for 9.2 contrib? But why request something
that is already in contrib if you want it in the next stable contrib?
Maybe I should request libgrass support in gdal (which also heppened
post-9.1)?
Two aspects, one which could be profitably built into Konqueror as a
protocol server (e.g. doc://name) which searches likely spots
(man-pages, info, /usr/share/doc/name-*/*, KDE handbooks etc) and
presents a short menu of likely-useful documentation for the
command/file/whatever.
You mean man:, info: and locate: aren't enough?
No. First off, you have to try each separately; second off, useful information
in /usr/share/doc/$NAME-* isn't included; and third off (I just thought of
this one), it doesn't pull out and reference the URL tag from any related
RPMs (try rpm -q --queryformat '%{URL}\n' $(rpm -qf $(which bash)) on your
favourite program).
This sounds more like something for kio_rpm? Nothing else will know where
/usr/share/doc/package-version is. Can kio_rpm link to man pages at
present? And rpmdrake?
7)GUI-tools support for writing DVDs
Hmm. Haven't a DVD burner to try, but is anything more than k3b needed?
Free version of cdrecord can't write DVDs (AFAIK), and k3b does not know
about growisofs. You would also have to enter the size of the DVD in
minutes :-(. cdbakeover is no better at present (no custom size setting
even).
I will probably have to run through all the others to see if anything
supports DVDs, and hope it's something usable (for data, most of the
GNOME/GTK tools seem aimed at ripping/writing music, where most of my
burns of CDs are data, and all our DVDs will be).

[Cooker] howto script an upgrade from libdb3.3 to libdb4.0
Could someone give me an example of a package that upgraded from libdb3.3 to libdb4.0, so I can see how the conversion of the database files has been managed? Among the packages I installed (so that I can quickly check which ones require libdb-3.3) only an handful is using sleepycat db, but either they avoid the problem using the same library (like pam) or the database format shouldn't matter (postfix keeps the source data in text files). I'd like to take the same approach than pam (i.e. using libdb3.3 ;-), but florin modified cyrus-imapd to link against libdb4.0, so I think there should be an upgrade path for existing users (btw, the same applies to cyrus-sasl in main).

This is known to not work. modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdkcustom/kernel/net/ipsec/ipsec.o failed modprobe: insmod ipsec failed Searching google I believe the problem to be the inclusion of 'gcc2_compiled' in /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-0.13mdk/net/ipsec/libdes/asm/perlasm/x86unix.pl Thanks John

[Cooker] [RFC][PATCH] New supermount
Here is the new supermount. It is almost complete rewrite; the reason was some fundamental design problems in old supermount impementation. The patch is against 2.4.21-0.11mdk but it should apply to current 9.1 kernel; it may work with 9.0 but is not tested. Older version of this patch is included in Danny's mm kernel. supermount.txt and changelog are attached separately for review. User visible changes: - fs=.. option now takes list of filesystem types like fs=ext2:vfat. Using auto gave large delay sometimes (specifically for floppy). - device usage count is correctly managed now for all devices that implement mediactl (cdrom, sd and ide-floppy as of this writing; ide-floppy is untested). It means, supermount will respect when device is opened by some other task and won't unlock it. Also, when device is locked neither manual (eject button) nor program (eject /dev/cdrom) eject are possible. It does not work well for sd unfortunately. - device is now locked on any directory access not only on file open. - new option no_tray_lock. It is intended for ro media to overcome problems with such programs like Konqueror that constantly poll directory for changes thus blocking any eject possibility. (It is possible to lock device only on rw operations. Suggestions are welcome). - procfs support. Supermount creates following files under /proc/fs/supermount: version (ro) reading it gives version of supermount subfs (rw) reading it gives status of subfs; writing it allows you to unmount and/or disable subfs preventing any attempt to mount it. Intended usage is - mkfs/fsck/CD burning when you need to make sure nothing disrupts operation - hot-unplugging support, allowing to disable any access to media before physically removing it. See supermount.txt for detailed description. - atime management. It is believed that atime is now correctly updated. noatime option is respected. - supermount will refuse to double-mount device even if kernel supports it. - it is impossible to mount over supermounted directory (i.e. mount /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom/foo fails). It is too complicated to handle and I do not see any need to do it. - immutable, noatime and append flags should be handled correctly now. Before it was possible to overwrite immutable file (mostly of interest for ext2 filesystem). Internal changes - it is possible to unmount subfs at any time now - it is ensured that subfs cannot be unmounted while some object (dentry or inode) are being used. Together it makes it safe w.r.t. media removal. - directly call subfs methods instead of calling VFS recursively. It obsoletes most of the old supermount kernel patch making it more likely to be accepted :) - many assertions that hopefully catch any error as soon as possible Many other changes that remove dead code. This version includes all features I intended to add. Now I need testing and your suggestion :) Unfortunately the detailed description of supermount internals is still missing :( Here is the current TODO: dcache - actually just lookup_one_len in supermount_lookup. This may mean assertion in d_iput/d_release is no more true, needs add. check implement missing methods (super.c in the first place) simplify Juan's patch. Remove all VFS patches; clean up media check. check for non-exisiting device in __supermount_check_disk_change to allow supermount hot-pluggable media quota support (vollstaendigkeits halber :) fix all FIXME :) enjoy -andrey 2.4.21-0.11.patch.gz Description: application/gzip changelog Description: Binary data Supermount README = Running supermount -- To run supermount, compile and install a kernel with the supermount patches and select Y to the question Supermount removable media support (CONFIG_SUPERMOUNT) [Y/n/?] when you run make config. You set up a supermount filesystem with the normal mount command, using the syntax: mount -t supermount -o superfs-options,--,subfs-options none mpt where superfs-options are the options you want to pass to supermount itself. These are described below. subfs-options are the options you want supermount to pass to the dismountable filesystem underneath. mpt is the mount point where you want your removable media to be mounted. Notice that you do not directly specify the block device you are going to mount on the mount command line. This is because the supermount filesystem is NOT connected to a block device; rather, supermount is responsible for connecting a separate filesystem to the block device. You specify the sub-filesystem and block device name by providing the superfs-options field, where the following options are currently recognised: * fs=filesystem-type

Re: [Cooker] [RFC][PATCH] New supermount
And at least to up to 1.1.3 I have tested it (sorry Andrey that I did not yet got back to you, was a bit busy) on a number of different hardware, and have to say it works much better and stabler than 9.1 supermount :) I have not yet found a way to break it.

So shoot me down if you think that this proposal is _not_ what supermount should be doing. I'd like to see a transparent way of access to audio cds (and vcd and the like). There is something already doing this called cdfs IIRC, haven't looked at it for some time. But currently GUI apps try to do this kinda thing by implementing things like audiocd:// io_slaves and the like. A very silly solution, why doesn't the kernel handle this? As I said, perhaps it is better to improve cdfs and let supermount use this as subfs (if possible). d.

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.

Providing patches is a big plus for acceptance, and normally is nearly only necessary for acceptance. But the use for this patch is very small. I don't want to add anything to a program as critical as mkinitrd if its use would be so small (and booting off the rescue is not a big deal). --- 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: RESOLVED creation_date: description: Until online resizing of ext3 comes along in 2.6 (we can hope), we have the problem that to resize the root filesystem (assuming it's on an underlying resizable device, like LVM for instance), we have to unmount it. But how to do that? One way is to boot via CD-ROM or floppy or some other clumsy method. But much better, is to have the initrd resize the filesystem before mounting it! And the best part is that it's braindead simple to do. The following patch to mkinitrd adds ext2resize to the initrd and modifies the linuxrc to always try to expand the root filesystem to the size of it's underlying device. If it's already as big as the device, nothing happens. If the device is bigger, the filesystem is expanded to it's size. So to increase the size of the root filesystem, one simply expands the device it's on (lvextend -L+20M /dev/rootvol/root for example) and then reboots! This technique could be used in the initscripts to resize other difficult to unmount filesystems like /var, although that can be done relatively simply by switching to single user mode. But I digress.

[Cooker] PCMCIA problem in suspend scripts?
I have configured my power button to initiate the /usr/sbin/pmsuspend script when pressed. When this script is run, the system successfully suspends to disk and resumes; however, there appears to be something wrong with the cardmgr once the system is running again. When I try to halt the system, everything runs fine until it gets to the Shutting down PCMCIA portion (or whatever the exact name is) -- at this point, the computer tries to restart my ethernet card instead of shutting down PCMCIA. It will hang for about a minute until it realizes that PCMCIA isn't shutting down, and then the system forces a killall and shuts down. If I force a suspend with echo 4 /proc/acpi/sleep , then the cardmgr comes back just fine (although, other services are out, but that makes sense). When I shut down the computer, the PCMCIA cards are shut off (instead of trying to activate my ethernet card) and the system goes down A-OK. _ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Re: [Cooker] wish list for 9.2

I think Mandrake should be releasing less frequently and have a longer stability/testing/fixing period. If you look at the reviews of Linux distros, the highest points are awarded to those that work with the least number of problems. I agree with a longer stability/testing/fixing period. Now, there is enough of things in the distro and the main interest of the users will be the stability and a lower number a bug. IMHO, Mdk 8.2 was the best usable distro and since this time the quality is beginning to suffer. It is absolutly necessary to do better.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3610 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-31 02:15 --- One additional comment. I don't think it makes sense that these two pieces of information are shown only during maximal information. They should be shown as part of normal information, as they are important information, and won't confuse anybody. Maximal should only imply Files and Changelog. --- 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: In the information window for maximal information, two pieces of information shown there include: 1) source - where a package can be installed from (only useful in rpmdrake) 2) currently installed version - which version can be removed or upgraded (only useful in rpmdrake-remove or MandrakeUpdate). The code was probably attempting to do this, but got mixed up. Currently instead, all pieces of info only get shown in regular rpmdrake mode, and the currently installed version is obviously (none). I will attach a patch to fix it.

[Cooker] Wishlist for 9.2
MM, If I wish something, it is that Jardinains 1.0 is ported to Linux. My wife likes that game (freeware) so much, she forces me to install XP again... Anyway, I have a group on MSN. So I will need XP from time to time... But really, Jardinains is a really fun game... BB, Toran

[Cooker] [Bug 1835] [util-linux] Dependency on shadow-utils incorrect
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1835 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-19 17:50 --- *** Bug 1846 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-31 03:40 --- There's two bugs at work here 1. You should include the epoch in the dependency shadow-utils 0:2902-5 2. This is clearly the wrong version number, and you should just drop the version --- 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: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: util-linux has a dependency on shadow-utils 2902-5 which is not the installed version in MDK 9.1 rc1. The installed shadow-utils is in fact = 4.0.3-3mdk so I guess = 4.0.0 would be appropriate? This is a notable problem in that when using apt-rpm, it has a hissy fit over this. This also affects 2 other packages built from the same source: losetup mount I won't file those seperately. Many thanks - take it as a compliment that apt-rpm only complained about those 3 packages :-) Best wishes Tim Southerwood

Currently installed version only needs to show during MandrakeUpdate, not that and remove (which I had before).
