OK, maybe you have the same problem I had when trying to install over
the old driver. You have to run the tool at runlevel 3 ('init 3' text
mode). You also have to unload the driver with 'rmmod nvidia', but I get
the following error:
WARNING: insmod.old: I am not the old version!
Can't open 'nvidia': No such file or directory
So the only way to forcibly remove the module is to delete nvidia.o from
/lib/modules/... with rm.
Then re-boot. Mandrake will fail to start up X. Then login as root on
the console and run the tool. It should then install everything OK.
Re-boot again (or restart gdm/kdm), and it should start X this time. My
machine has been running fine with this new version.
You will also need gcc and the kernel source installed if you are using
a custom kernel.

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. Don't fret for too long about that. KDE 3.2 will have a much improved theme/style/tweak manager in it. Myself and a few others in the KDE development team, including Mosfet (who looks to be heading this mini-project) have been discussing this very thing on kde-devel. This theme manager would handle cursors, ksplash/ml themes, fully themed kdm screens and UI elements such as styles, etc. If there are features that people would like to see in this, post them my way.

So, if users know that 1)The installer may have issues 2)They should not intend using the machine for production then they may have the freedom to report that the installer does not detect their devices, and then the kernel team has an earlier warning on devices that are not working.

No need to remove it.
Just switch to runlevel 3 and launch the script.
Say that i want to compile and voila. And a few seconds later everything
was ok (Geforce 4 Ti 4200).
No need to reboot. Just had to change the rights on /dev/nvdia0 and

But there are differences. So, are you talking OEM then? In many ways yes.

Laptops, the hardware in them The rpms/features needed are perceptually different from desktops. Realize this. MDK for laptops will be 99% the same as any other. In that rpms etc built here are just lined up in a different order, or ignored. Things that could be dropped are . support for NIC cards (non PCMCIA ones. Some on-board NIC drivers (RTL-3139D is quite popular on laptops) are identical to the drivers for PCI cards. You can also have PCI extensions on docking stations AFAIK. I was thinking pcmcia but you are right for like tulip etc. Put in updates to pcmcia config (and yes I sent in a large file to the MDK maintainer of missing / changed cards.) You can run PCMCIA on desktops with PCI adapters. True but the hardware is often flaky and fragile... Mostly though it's a marketing thing. SuSE now has the Office release... I've looked at it..It's not very different from personal. BUT the box says SuSE for Office. It must be better, right? But who is going to buy it. Can Mandrakesoft afford to market and support (think Vince ...) a seperate laptop distro? This has to be a decision by Duval and others. Does have one nice point... no games. With disk space becoming a premium.. this may ease the pain as well. BTW I've been testing Beta1 et all and reporting since 6.x so yes I know it helps. 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 how does this relate to laptops? Do they not want their desktop machines to just work? Yes... but more and more here in the valley companies are moving from desktops to laptops. They really do have a number of benefits over desktops for them. Wireless being the biggest force moving them. Wireless for desktops has some physical advantages but the ability to assemble mobile groups around laptops is being seen as a very real advantage. As I speak with these people I am being confronted with a number of needs 1. Ability to monitor and control updates. 2. Usability/Reliability 3. Dependability of install base to work across a large list of hardware. The third one is often the showstopper on Linux when it comes to laptops. Take my laptop. ACPI works under win98 or newer. Wireless works with a number or cards. Cardbus 32 bit cards work under windows. But under Linux it's a fight for all of them.(one by the way I'm losing with acpi and CardBus... maybe even wireless.) When asked what version of Linux I recommend for desktops or laptops, I've always been able to say MDK and say it with solid reasons and examples. I see a market, and I would be lax to not mention that. In this world connecting to the company exchange server from worldwide locations is a lot more important than 3d acceleration. We don't have Exchange, but we would be out of jobs if 3d acceleration did not work on our new 3d-modelling laptops (rapid prototyping of automotive components for one of our customers, we send people there to do modelling work for them). Granted, we don't use linux on them ... yet. Pro\E is coming to linux soon, and then we might. Ok I can see that. 95% of the people I'm in contact with are concerned with clarity of 2d more than 3d. Each world has it's own need. Mandrakes need is money. I'm just letting them know what people I know need. You really need yet another OS to support? The one thing about Linux is that it allows you to standardise, having multiple distros just because some hardware needs one extra driver or one extra user-space tool is ridiculous. If we do this, then should we remove SCSI and RAID drivers from the standard distro so we can make a server edition that has them (also, we can remove mt, mtx etc).

All of those things should have been pretty close to done for the first beta. There were major changes to all of them between beta3 and rc1. But none of them affect the kernel. So, if users know that 1)The installer may have issues 2)They should not intend using the machine for production then they may have the freedom to report that the installer does not detect their devices, and then the kernel team has an earlier warning on devices that are not working. Also, only one CD would be necessary, it could even be a small ISO, just enough to get a minimal system and urpmi, so users can urpmi cooker afterwards. Buchan Buchan, This one has some definite merit. Small iso installed to it's own partition. Doing the install over and over to check it out. Though it might be too much of a load on the buildmaster.

One of the consecuences is that smtp authentication with postfix using sasldb file doesn't work in Mandrake 9.1, and I think this is quite serious. My solution was to compile the src.rpm that comes with 9.1 against db3.3 and then I replace the libsasl.so.7.1.11 file.

[Cooker] rebuild an initrd under rescue cdrom
After migration from MDK 7.2 to MDK 9.1, the installer left a new system without an initrd for 2.4.21-0.13mdk, thus I cannot boot it anymore. I was wondering if it is possible to rebuild my initrd from the 9.1 rescue CD. I tried the following but to no avail (maybe because of using the freshly installed system by means of a chroot on /mnt) : boot rescue cd1 mount all FS on /mnt go to console chroot /mnt First I was to mount /proc because mkinitrd _does not check_ that /proc is available and thus we end in a loop at the step it scans for /proc/mounts FS. mount /proc mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.img 2.4.21-0.13mdk.img which leads to an error like : + dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/initrd.img.LiQwlh bs=1k count=420 + '[' -n '' ']' + mke2fs -q -m 0 -F -N 45 -s 1 /tmp/initrd.img.LiQwlh mke2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) mke2fs: Device size reported to be zero.

Since to gain full affect of the cursor them it does need a restart it would be helpful. I got a patch from someone which restarts kwin, and I will try and update the cursor themes today with that and a few other improvements (use kdialog under KDE, gdialog under GNOME, and if neither of them exist in something else, fall back to gmessage - gmessage is messy but available in main, then I can probably drop the Xdialog requirement) Since apparently it takes a few seconds to restart kwin, it will be an option *after* choosing the cursor, and thus you should at least be able to see the cursor theme before applying. Contributions for restarting other WMs would be appreciated. Restarting Metacity ought to be as easy as falling off a log, since if you just kill it then it restarts itself. Try that... -- adamw

Are all S3 cards now handled by XFree4? From www.xfree86.org's S3 compatibility page, http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/4.3.0/Status29.html#29 : Support (accelerated) for the 964 (revisions 0 and 1), 968, Trio32, Trio64, Trio64, Trio64V+, Trio64UV+, Aurora64V+, Trio64V2, and PLATO/PX is provided by the s3 driver (however, only models using the IBM RGB 524, Texas Instruments 3025, or an internal TrioDAC RAMDAC chip are supported). Support (accelerated) for the ViRGE, ViRGE/VX, ViRGE/DX, ViRGE/GX, ViRGE/GX2, ViRGE/MX, ViRGE/MX+, Trio3D and Trio3D/2X is provided by the s3virge driver. Support (accelerated) for the Savage3D, Savage3D/MV, Savage4, Savage2000, and SuperSavage, is provided by the savage driver. Support for the other S3 chipsets has not yet been ported. This card is a Trio3D, and I identified the s3virge driver as correct from that text. When the person with the card tried with the XFree 4.3.0 s3 driver, the card didn't work. With the XFree 4.3.0 s3virge driver, it did. The summary on that page reads: All hardware supported in 3.3.6 is also supported in 4.3.0 except for the 911, 924, 801, 805, 928, 864, and 868, and versions of the 964 and 968 that do not use the RAMDAC chips listed above. The SuperSavage chipset is supported only in 4.3.0. So only the S3 911, 924, 801, 805, 928, 868 and 868 cards should use XFree 3.3.6 now. All others can use XFree 4.3.0 with either the s3, s3virge or savage driver. -- adamw

[Cooker] [Bug 3603] [menu] menu does not respect user locale

No, in lang.h are defined two variables: lang()= for those environments that
don't have real i18n for their menus; and languages()= for those environments
that do have proper i18n support for their menus (all those following the
*.dekstop standard are in such case, eg Gnome, KDE, and some others as well).
The languages()= variable lists all languages present on the system.
So, the bug is not a mdk bug, but a bug with some environments that don't allow
an i18n system-wide menu system (that is, one including several languages,
and the proper language being displayed depending on user settings).
Report the problem to WindowMaker, ICEWM, etc. projetcs, asking them to add
multilanguage support in their menu structures.
But it's not possible to provide multi-language support in the menus if the
window manager doesn't support it.
If some of those environments do support multi-language menus, but that feature
isn't handled by update-menu, then a pointer to a document describing how the
multi-language support is done would be appreciated, so we can support it.
Thanks

No need to remove it.
Just switch to runlevel 3 and launch the script.
Say that i want to compile and voila. And a few seconds later everything
was ok (Geforce 4 Ti 4200).
No need to reboot. Just had to change the rights on /dev/nvdia0 and

It seems to be faster and looks better. Maybe it was only my eyes that

OK, maybe you have the same problem I had when trying to install over
the old driver. You have to run the tool at runlevel 3 ('init 3' text
mode). You also have to unload the driver with 'rmmod nvidia', but I get
the following error:
WARNING: insmod.old: I am not the old version!
Can't open 'nvidia': No such file or directory
So the only way to forcibly remove the module is to delete nvidia.o from
/lib/modules/... with rm.
Then re-boot. Mandrake will fail to start up X. Then login as root on
the console and run the tool. It should then install everything OK.
Re-boot again (or restart gdm/kdm), and it should start X this time. My
machine has been running fine with this new version.
You will also need gcc and the kernel source installed if you are using
a custom kernel.

Just a note from something I noticed on my system.
The message:
WARNING: insmod.old: I am not the old version!
Can't open 'nvidia': No such file or directory
Means you have installed the module tools for 2.5 kernel compatibility twice.
Normally, if the kernel is a 2.4.X kernel, the tool calls the old (2.4.X) tool
to do the operation. You probably need to uninstall the 2.5 tools, force an
install/update of the 2.4 module tools, and then install 2.5 tools a single
time.

[Cooker] Impressions about 9.1
Hi! I have gotten mandrake 9.1 yesterday. Just want to scribble my impressions here ;) 1) Installation flawless, all hardware I have was recognized or was easy to configure painless 2) a lot of translation flaws in the advertisements during install, including - header translated and text not and vice versa - corrupt display in mandrakeexpert-corporate advertisement 3) advertisement, spoke: you want to learn how to become member of the community ... have a look at our discussion forum at http://www.mandrakesoft.com/company/community;, this is pointless, since there are some informations about how Mandrakesoft is involved in the community and at the end of the page is a link to the obsolete mandrakeforum.com 4) wrong formatting done in the summary of kdegames, barely readable during installation 5) during dial up ISP configuration, the National entries of a country should be on top not as an entry under N (Who searches for National w/o knowing there is such an entry?) And I don't know if it is possible, but an extra mask for german t-online would be fine (you have to type 12+12+4 numbers as username and you have to know that you have to do so, in their win-soft you have 3 entries) I know they are stupid to make it so complicate, but maybe we could ease it a bit. 6) some Call by Call provider would be fine to choose from (national ISPs that have a known username and password, so people can fast connect to the net, maybe asking some providers to provide steady actual data for that would be sufficient, they have advertisement and people can dial in easily 7) (isdn-light) /etc/resolv.conf is empty after dial up. Alltough there is content in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf . What happened to the ip-up script that wrote the actual nameserver autmatically in /etc/resolv.conf ? Haven't figured out yet what is wrong here. (Something for the Errata page). Further isdn4net was selected in manual package selection , after installing isdn-light is installed. 8) efax depends on kdeutils and kdevelop = urpme of efax not possible 9) description of drakxtools is not clear english: This add the capability to be runned behind a webserver to the drakxtools, see package drakxtools With this package you can run the drakxtools over a webserver to configure a machine with the mandrake utilities over a network ?? or sth like that ? Else then the above just the usual issues (known issues): a isdn4k-utils outdated b no dial up for users (no pppuser or dial group, not the right ownership of devices and commands or an sudoer entry) Hope the above does not sound too harsh ;) I have just fast collected my thoughts about the installation and postinstallation :). -- _ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 _

But there seems that the encoding of .menu files is never requested nor used. In the menu methods source strings are supposed to be in UTF-8 (that is because translations are retrieved in UTF-8). So the easiest would be to mandate UTF-8 as the only charset encoding valid for .menu files; have menudrake use UTF-8 when writting them, and have all .menu files in the rpm packages be in UTF-8 too (that should already be the case, well, they don't have any 8bit char at all it seems) And no, it won't be a problem for non-Gnome/KDE environments, as the menu files from rpm packages are already supposed to be in UTF-8 only (the menu methods creating the menu structures used by the WM already expect to work with UTF-8 as the source text). The only difference in menu methods is the charset encoding of the target (the menu structure to be created), if it is to be in the locale charset, then translate(lang,string) is used; if it is to be in utf-8, then encode_translate(lang,string,utf-8) is used. As you can see, the source encoding is never specified, so it can only be UTF-8. At the current state of UTF-8 deployment it is much better to use UTF-8 the most possible, and only switch to another encoding at the final stage, and only if there is no other solution. That is, only when creating menu structures for WM that don't use UTF-8 but the locale charset. Remember also that UTF-8 will be more and more used (all functions allowing to draw strings antialised require strings to be in UTF-8), and also that UTF-8 will be more and more used as the default encoding. Non-UTF-8 should be handled as special exception cases, and not the opposite way. --- 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: menudrake in mdk 9 with czech localization causes the following: when you create record or folder with nonEnglish character it creates file_xyz.desktop which is fine. the problem is that it writes something like this in it: Comment=the whole title in UTF-8 Comment[cs]=comment stripped after a non-english character example: Comment=Zábava Comment[cs]=Z and you can see only the letter Z in the menu :( the only resolution is to edit the .desktop file (in ~/.kde..) manually.

It's 100% reproducible with mkinitrd from the command line after installation, too. In any case, this bug makes Mandrake 9.1 loopback installs *totally unusable* unless you manually hack the initrd. I'm taking a look at the mkinitrd source code now, and I'll see if I can put together a patch (or maybe a few patches which use different approaches) to fix this.

Hi there. I have just packed a very cool software (I think) but the license is unclear to me. A Mandrake employee could easily decide if it's really distributable or not.

So..., my question really is..., could this be interesting?

[Cooker] Fatal crash of X server with Mandrake 9.1 upgrade
Any ideas how I can gather more diagnostics on this? It's on a Dell L700cxe that had been running an up-to-date Mandrake 9.0, but moments ago threw me out with maya gdm[1196]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 XFree86.0.log.crash.gz Description: X Server Log -- Gary Lawrence Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED]: office voice/fax: 01 519 4222723 Business Advantage through Community Software - http://teledyn.com what I need is a job that doesn't interfere with my work -gary murphy
