I think we are starting to see the result of maturity. Linux is now over 10 years old. As an operating system and it's corresponding tools mature it does tend to slow down. By this I mean that many of the programs now included tend to change less and less. Most mind you not all. Yet the drive to have something new in each release tends to introduce as much in the way of bugs as it fixes. RH is dropping the dot release SuSE users I know say that they are talking about it as well. (any verification?) perhaps the time has come to start looking at a slower release cycle, and/or niche releases ie laptop, MNF Multimedia etc. James
Re[4]: [Cooker] [RFC][PATCH] New supermount
Just to make it clear - I do not vote for this or that way, these are just MHO. I'd like to see a transparent way of access to audio cds[...] A very silly solution, why doesn't the kernel handle this? Possible reasons: [...] 2. because it is easily done using user-level tools so adding this to kernel just bloats it without any obvious advantage Each program is implementing this in his own obscure way. Many new users have no clue as to how play CDS with xmms, have no idea you actually can type audiocd:// in konqueror, and complain that audio CDS in general do not work. If it does not belong in kernel (I've heard that argument for supermount as well, but ok), As we already discussed - it is impossible to do what supermount currently does (i.e. harmless ejecting of busy media) without kernel modification in some way. So it does belong to kernel. Of course, there may be alternative implementation but IMHO supermount is the most simple one that combines both relative safety even for rw media with small amount of generic code changes (after current patches to VFS have been backed out). than lets up someone creates a libaudiofs which all programs will use (but I doubt this will let me: 'cd /mnt/cdrom; cp track*.* ~/' ?) I must admit I have near to zero knowledge about audio CD recording but if your example involves anything more than simple block reading - then no, it does not belong to kernel. -andrey

Yeah, tell me about it. :) Anyway I was under the impression there would be a special testing round specific to translators before release. (Such a round could for instance have prevented that some advertising texts in 9.1 DrakX are printed on top of each other when used in NL). Locale should not prevent using an app as critical as mcc. Agreed. Unfortunately, things have not been done in time for mdkkdm but this is not a critical bug (Users can easily guess the meanings of 'login' and 'passwd'). Or they can just use gdm, like Roberto suggested. :) Perhaps Mdk can still resolve this by making mdkkdm localizable, gathering some translations and providing it as an update?

Re: [Cooker] wish list for 9.2
Quoting Buchan Milne [EMAIL PROTECTED]: of If you want to ensure your hardware works, you *must* test beta1. Buchan Agree. I posted a similar message just after the final release. Maybe the more efficient way is to : - rename the beta to RC directly, or just use 1 beta. Psychologically, a lot of people try only the latest RC, thinking that bugs will be found by the other people... - fake that the final release date is actually 1 or 2 weeks before the real release date, since most of the bugs arrive at the last minute, so that it leaves more time to correct last minute bugs. - maintain a database of official beta testers, with their hardware specs. So that it would be interesting for two things : First it would give an idea of the most used hardware, so Mdk would concentrate on that hardware Second, it would allow to test some specific hardware : if there is a doubt about this or that hardware detection, Mandrake would just have to contact that (these testers) to ask to test their specific configuration. - maybe offer 10% discount on subscribing Mandrake club for the 50 people who have reported the most bugs (non redondant) ? Except that it would maybe attract not serious people who try to report bugs just for discount. But since registering on Bugzilla is necessary, this would limit this issue. WDYT ? Eric

Remember though one thing. The people with the really big bucks, don't have time for beta testing. aka the corporate world. They want results a product that works.

But I don't think that it is possible to change mentalities : this is not new, it has always been like that, not only for the 9.1. For the 9.0, I remember that there were so my bugs to correct the last week, Mandrake decided to postpone the final by one week. Everyone agreed and cheered Mandrake for a good decision. This would be exactly the same to plan in advance a one week delay, and it would not be a worse attitude than for the 9.0. I am not a bad person, I do not like to lie :) But I think that releasing a bug proof distro is even more important for Mandrake. Anyway, I made some other proposals to make debugging incentive, this one has not to be followed if you want a crystal-clear conscience :) Cheers Eric

We have to learn: - how to use bugzilla - how to produce usefull fixes and patches mandrake staff has to learn: - communication ;) - even more of the first point And if I got it right the improvement in the use of bugzilla was big. -- Regards Steffen counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.

[Cooker] [Bug 1252] [dynamic] Problem inserting a flash card in a pcmcia slot
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1252
--- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-31 11:25 ---
This bug is valid for 9.1 final on my Dell Inspiron 2100 (aka Latitude LS) and a
SanDisk CF PC Card adapter installed.
I propose escalating the severity to 'critical' since I encountered this problem
while upgrading from 8.2 and was unable to complete booting the newly installed
system because the CF adapter was installed. I finally realized this by booting
in failsafe, examining the syslogs, and searching the mandrakesoft bug page -
but the bottom line is that there is no way to boot the machine normally with
the CF adapter plugged in.

[Cooker] [Bug 2337] [initscripts] setting TMPDIR for security level 2 ?
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2337 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-31 15:36 --- In my RC3 system (cooker burned after the freeze) with standard security level, I noticed after several reboots and logout/logins from GNOME that the GNOME logout process was taking 5-10 minutes to put up the logout/shutdown/reboot prompt. I've seen similar problems in the past having to do with stale lock files, so I looked and noticed that /tmp was no longer using tmpfs, but was a live directory, and that the .X* directories were not getting cleaned out. I reinstated tmpfs for /tmp in /etc/fstab, and the problem went away. This ties into a problem that existed pre-9.0 (when /tmp started to use tmpfs) that the MDK initscripts do not properly clean out /tmp when the boot option to do so is checked. They delete some files, but not others, probably because the cleanup is run too late in the sequence and /tmp is already in use by X. As far as I know, this was never fixed, but became a non-problem with the introduction of tmpfs. --- 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: Hi, by download, mozilla creates a temporary file (something.exe) in /tmp. However, /tmp is now a filesystem by default with size approximately 200MB. Thus one cannot download files larger than 200MB. Is it enough to delete the /tmp line in /etc/fstab? (Suse suggests aleso changes in /etc/init.d/boot.swap? Except of not using the tmpfs for /tmp, is it possible to change the behavior of mozilla? I did not find anything in Preferences. Thanks Milos

Re: [Cooker] Status of Java in Konqueror?
On Sun 30 Mar 2003 12:24, Charles Shirley posted as excerpted below: I notice that sites with Java applets on them show me a nice box with Loading Applet in it in Konqueror. I have not done a clean install of Mandrake for over a year, is this an artifact of long, slow upgrade path? Or, is Java still broken in Konqueror? Good question! I have the same problem. I think I have the solution, but don't use Java enough for it to have become a priority to spend the time verifying I'm right and getting it to work. I had to go find a JavaVM to install, and believe I installed Sun's official one. I am somewhat certain, based on putting various hints together as I've seen them in posts on other problems here and elsewhere, that the problem is based in incompatible compiler versions -- namely, that the version of Java I installed way back when was compiled with GCC 2.9x, while Mdk has pretty much standardized on GCC 3.1+ (3.2.1 or some such now, I think?) for 9.1 and the current cooker. The problem is that Java is a *.so shared object library, run in the context of the parent process, in this case Konqueror, not a separate application run in its own process. GCC 2.9x compiled shared objects are known to not work well with GCC 3.x compiled applications, creating a situation here in which the JVM *.so library never loads, leaving an enternal loading applet display. Complicating things some what.. I believe Mozilla is still being compiled using now non-Mdk-standard GCC 2.9x, probably for this very reason -- there are simply to many plugins out there still available only compiled that way -- meaning in ordered to make Mozilla compatible with them -- and some of them are binary-only plugins over which Mdk has no control, meaning they CAN'T recompile them to Mdk-standard GCC 3.x -- so Mozilla runs the Java plugin just fine, but if someone fixes the plugins to work right with Konqueror, it'll break Mozilla with the same plugins. Thus, for the VERY few times I actually NEED Java support, I simply load up Mozilla and go with it then. FWIW.. this conflict could theoretically be fixed by putting the two different plugin versions in different dirs. I don't know how Mozilla handles its plugin dirs search, unless it simply looks in its own plugins subdir, and expects anything not there to be symlinked, but Konqueror's plugin configuration allows one to modify the plugin dir search order and dirs checked. Thus, one could put the 3.x compiled plugin in a dir searched b4 the one Mozilla uses, so it loads first, and the bad 2.x one Mozilla uses never gets a chance to load. However... as I said, I haven't taken the time to test all this out... In fact, I hadn't actually put it all together in my head until I did so in composing this reply. Therefore, if you want to try it out and see if this can be done and post your results and the steps you took to actually get it to work, it might save me some trouble when I get around to finally doing it as well... (Community support at it's finest, eh? I describe the problem and possible solution for you, tho I haven't had time to look into it. You test it and get back to me w/ the results, so I then don't have to kill so much time trying stuff if it doesn't work. We both benefit! g) -- Duncan They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin

Re: [Cooker] [Bug 3606] [kernel-source] New: kernel has too manypatches, should be closer to standard kernel
I think Simon has a point. There are plenty of occasions (e.g. IDE problems in the past) when the recommended solution is to get hold of a vanilla kernel, apply relevant patches (usually starting with the latest ac patch) and rebuild the kernel. The trouble is, many patches won't work on Mandrake kernel source, as it is already so heavily patched, so you have to patch vanilla kernel source, which loses some Mandrake-specific features (e.g. Supermount). If there were a clear path that showed which patches the Mandrake guys had applied, in what order, then it might be possible to construct a hybrid kernel that retained as many Mandrake features as possible but solved your specific problem. And the information gained would be useful to Mandrake. But I have never found a document that detailed the patches applied by the Mandrake guys. Unless it exists, Mandrake are missing an opportunity to harness community input.

Although I understand the need to support lots of hardware (I know I've got some difficult stuff) I'm sure it is very wrong to do it like this (lots of patches on top of pre releases of the next kernel). A solution would be to get an Alan Cox to work for/with mandrake as a lieutenant for Linux Torvalds or Marcelo or both. That way people will trust these kernels and they will be tested very thoroughly. As it is now, whenever there's a kernel bug, you couldn't possibly have the manpower/knowledge to find the source of it in the big pile of patches you have included. Hmmm.. Well, I trust the kernels that come out of Mandrakesoft. I also think it's kind of condesending to assume that our kernel maintainers aren't smart enough to troubleshoot what they create. I personally don't much care if the Mandrake kernel has someone's trust or seal of approval. I've generally had pretty good luck with it, and when I've had problems, they've usually been diagnosed and corrected fairly quickly. And if you want a standard kernel, it's out there - download it and use it! Getting an Alan and having him as a trusted part of the kernel community will probably take years, unless you get Alan himself ;-), but it'll be worth it! Worth it? How so? V.

Re: [Cooker] wish list for 9.2
On Mon 31 Mar 2003 04:41, [EMAIL PROTECTED] posted as excerpted below: For the 9.0, I remember that there were so my bugs to correct the last week, Mandrake decided to postpone the final by one week. Everyone agreed and cheered Mandrake for a good decision. This would be exactly the same to plan in advance a one week delay, and it would not be a worse attitude than for the 9.0. I never really saw the sense in what I am about to propose, other than the politics of it, but as much as I'd like politics not to rule over science and hard logic, the reality is that it does, some times. Why not try NASA's trick? Some minutes before liftoff by the offical clock, IIRC it was at T-4:00, back when the shuttle first came out in the '80s, there was/is a built-in hold. I think back then, it was scheduled at 10 minutes. The thing is, once in the hold, everything had to be green for the hold to be lifted, and the clock to resume. Thus, that 10 minutes could be 15, or 20, or an hour or so. Due to factors such as astronaut fatigue, etc. if it was going to be much longer than 90 minutes, they'd officially call off the launch, stop the clock, and try again later. This seems to be what we are talking about doing here, in effect. You don't have an official launch delay, because the hold time is taken into account, and there is no official delay. However, the official count-down clock would start seven days off, so, say, 10 days before the offical release (3 days on the count-down clock), there could be a scheduled one week hold -- if anything comes up that could seriously affect the release, it has to come up either before the hold, or at least during it. Then, only when any such show stoppers have been fixed, does the official clock start again, at the 3 day mark. Any last minute changes like the security kernel patch this time around, would then be the only thing made the next two days, that, and minor changes such as the code name, which would be announced when the clock resumed so to speak at three days (thus, avoiding the unupdated lsb problem we had this time). One day before official release, then, it should be actually ready for release, and could start appearing on the mirrors, etc, provided no last minute packaging quirks (like the re-used kernel release number, this time around) had been discovered in the previous two days. Thus, d/ls from updated mirrors at T minus one day could normally be said to be the official version, but just might have a packaging bug or two left. Anything after the three-day resumption would have to be a pretty big security fix to get in. The kernel patch this time around might get in on T minus three days, but perhaps wouldn't at T minus two days, and at T minus one day, it would be left as a post release update, as only packaging issues would be changed at that point. As I said, then, folks could d/l at minus a day and know they were getting the final release, but for perhaps a packaging issue or two. Since NASA has already established a precident for this sort of thing, the explanations could simply point to it and say we are doing the same thing, then explaining the built-in one-week hold, which could, under the proper circumstances, mean the clock would NOT be resumed at the three day mark, for a day or two or a week or two after the scheduled resumption. As I said, the scientist/logician in me protests such an idea pretty strongly. However, the politician says it may be an effective solution, whether it's logical to have an offical clock not including that week (or more, if it comes to it) hold, or not. -- Duncan They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin

My biggest problem is -a to get the beta becaue of bandwidth - to get the beta before the next beta is out ;) Isn't this what Cooker is, essentially, at any moment, at least when it isn't in freeze before release (and ack-ing that contribs is never in freeze, so could actually be the alpha branch when cooker is in freeze)? IOW, alpha is certainly not a stage at which a full official ISO burn is really justified. However, once you catch up to cooker and contribs as on the servers using urpmi presumably, updating twice a week to daily effectively keeps an installation in cutting edge alpha release state. Further, a twice a week update, once the initial catch-up is done, anyway, should limit bandwidth to something reasonable, even for dialup, since that both limits the packages that have to be updated each session, and effectively ignores packages multiple-updated in one day, often simply correcting packaging depends or install script errors, controlling that aspect of bandwidth utilization. -- Duncan They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin

[Cooker] S3 Trio 3D card defaulting to X 3.3.6, should be 4.3?
I'm on #mandrake IRC helping a guy out ATM. He installed 9.1, and KDE didn't work. I tracked it down to the same problem people are having using it over VNC - the RENDER extension was missing. I then further tracked it back - his system was using XFree 3.3.6. Since 3.3.6 doesn't provide RENDER and thus breaks KDE, I think this is a bug. The installation was an update from 9.0, so maybe it used X 3.3.6 because the old installation did, but if not then this card should default to the XFree 4.3.0 drivers. The card is an S3 Trio3D, lspci output is: VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c368 [Trio3D/2X] (rev 02) lspcidrake -v output is: Card:S3 86c368 (Trio3D/2X): S3 Inc.|86c368 [Trio3D/2X] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:5333 device:8a13) It needs to default to using X 4.3 with the s3virge (not just s3, note) driver.

I posted a similar message just after the final release. Maybe the more efficient way is to : ... - maintain a database of official beta testers, with their hardware specs. So that it would be interesting for two things : First it would give an idea of the most used hardware, so Mdk would concentrate on that hardware Second, it would allow to test some specific hardware : if there is a doubt about this or that hardware detection, Mandrake would just have to contact that (these testers) to ask to test their specific configuration. I think there may be some mileage in this. We could ensure a good coverage of hardware without too much duplication in testing. Mandrake could nominate 2 testers for each bit of hardware. Testers would know that they are being relied on, rather than leaving it to others. Mandrake would also have (automagically) a compatibility database that could be used from the WEB. The only issue I can see is that I tend to update my hardware quite regularly (and Linux support for new hardware is a source of frustration). But if there is a WEB page to administer the hardware registration, maintaining the list of testers can be kept to a minimum. Also, I don't like updating my works laptop very often (too risky), but I guess I could keep this one off the list. Ed-T.

I have supermount and scsi-emulation enabled. I have two IDE CD drives: hdc (scsi-emulated) hdd (no scsi-emulation). The CD ejection problem is reproducble for both drives. Steps to reproduce the problem - 1. Put a CD in the drive and close the tray by pressing the CD eject button (the hardware button present on the drive). Press the eject button again and verify that the CD is ejected as expected. Close the CD tray again. 2. Lets say that the CD drive device is /dev/cdrom (mounted on /mnt/cdrom2). Run the command: ls /mnt/cdrom2 Now, press the CD eject button, the CD is ejected fine. Close the CD tray. 3. Run a command to read /dev/cdrom as: cat /dev/cdrom 4. Wait for the cat command in previous step to end (or you may interrupt the cat command if it takes too long). 5. a) Now press the CD eject button. Nothing happens. b) If I use eject /dev/cdrom, the CD is ejected fine. 6. a) If I skip step 5b and run ls /mnt/cdrom2, then the CD files are listed just fine. b) After step 6a, if I press the CD eject button, it ejects normally. This strange behavior is 100% reproducible. It seems that every time the cat command is used after an ls command, it prevents a manual hardware ejection of the CD. After cat, using the ls command sets things right. Further investigation revealed that if I manually umount /mnt/cdrom2 then this problem disappears. If I manually re-mount /mnt/cdrom2, the problem reappears. Obviously, supermount is not handling things correctly since the problem is related to mounting. No error messages in dmesg or /var/log/* can be found that explains this odd behavior. I reported the same bug in bug 2103 but that bug has been marked resolved as fixed, even though the bug still exists in mandrake-9.1 final.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-31 19:27 --- Running a fresh 9.1 here and I can confirm that it still exists. I created a new user. Logged in. KDE-Peripherals-Mouse shows that it is set to Double click. Selected Single. Hit Apply. Selected Double. Apply. Close. Still have single click when using Konq in Detailed List View mode. --- 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: ASSIGNED creation_date: description: When KDE has been set to use double-click to open files/direcories, konqueror will still open files/directories on single-click when using 'detailed' view. When icon view is used, the behaviour is correct.
