Wouldn't it be better if the schema deinstallation would only happen
on deinstallation and not on upgrades, just like with info dir entries?

Hmm, maybe the user interface already in drakbackup to restore files is OK. At least it is a beginning. And there is a need to see how things would be functioning, and users' experience with the facilities. Key for me is also whether/how it would be integrated into the MDK system and installation procedure. This is of cause a MandakeSoft decision. It would thus be nice to hear what MandarakeSoft's thoughts are about such facilities. One thing users hate about Windows is it hiding what it does, and at present we aren't any better. I think what is in drakbackup is pretty obvious, and a kind of per-filesystem .trash directory with file node linking and garbage collection should also be pretty straightforward. Best regards Keld

[Cooker] wish for mdk 9.2: full duplex sound drivers
Hi! A wish for MDK 9.2: full duplex sound drivers. Full duplex sound drivers are a must if you want to use teleconferencing like gnomemeeting. Some of the audio drivers delivered today in MDK 9.1 is only half duplex, eg. the one for my intel 810 sound device. I understand that ALSA drivers are always full duplex, while some other drivers that are standard with the kernel is only half duplex. I do not care whether the sound drivers are ALS or not, as long as they are full duplex and can work with eg gnomemeeting. I see IP telepones/teleconferencing as a major application for most users, this is probably the new telephone, and it would be very convenient if MDK had good support for IP telephones.

Re: [Cooker] wish for mdk 9.2: file shadow functionality
The half-assed way MS is doing it is a hack. What you probably really want is true snapshots which are done at the FS level. Check out NetApp for an example...snapshots are VERY handy and VERY fast way to save yourself from having to go to tape. (ie. 1sec to snapshot a 0.5TB filesystem) The snapshots also take no space to speak of (couple megs) until you have a delta from the snapshot filesystem contents and the current contents since they refer to the same files until it changes/moves/gets deleted/etc. Snapshots do not protect against device failures due to their nature, but they are great ways to do incremental backups in a very short amount of time. They also allow you to rollback to some previous state in about 1sec. To overly simplify it: they snap a picture of the filesystem layout at a given time and make it static. All changes after that to existing files go to a new place on the disk, leaving the old as it was until you free it. As far as a nice UI, I'd be 100% against that...someone can build one but I want file-system level availability: cd ~ ls your current files cd .snapshot-062503-1500 ls your files as they were on 6/25/03 @ 15:00 cp accidentlly deleted file ~ You just recovered your accidentially deleted file from a snapshot back to your home directory. It's not quite that simple as snapshots are done on the filesystem level and not (normally) on the directory level...you might have to cd /home/.snapshot-xyz/username, but it gets the point across. I believe this is currently available with LVM but I am unsure of it's status. Of course, another option is to use a versioned filesystem, but thats something else from snapshots entirely. -Rob On Fri, 27 Jun 2003 12:04:15 +0200, Buchan Milne wrote -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greg Meyer wrote: On Thursday 26 June 2003 02:42 pm, Keld Jørn Simonsen wrote: Anyway I am not interesed in mimicking what MS does, but in something that is useful and convenient to the average MDK user.

That, in combination with incremental rotating backups I do every four hours with rsync give good production and online availability of a file if deleted by accident. Anyway, one point here is that it is useless implementing something like this if there is not a really good consistent UI for it. One thing users hate about Windows is it hiding what it does, and at present we aren't any better. Maybe before adding new incomprehensible features (ie ones without a good UI), we should have UIs for the incomprehensible features we already have. ACL support in Konqueror/Nautilus would get my vote. When rollback is available in at least one filesystem (probably Reiser4 some time after kernel 2.6.1 is out) it may be worthwhile adding a UI for it. In the meantime, let's get ACL support back in ext2/3, and have a UI for it.

[Cooker] Usability issues
Hello, Don't know how many saw this - `Linux: it's the Desktop, Stupid!' (http://theregister.co.uk/content/53/31435.html) Food for thought maybe, given recent threads about ease of use issues ? Maybe we are all so used to using Linux as it is that we have lost sight of what is required to attract new users, especially those who simply `use' computers and are not interested in the slightest in `goto a consol and start up vi.' !!! If I didn't have such a happy outlook I might feel that we are being got at ! If Linux / OSS survives being made illegal and massive lawsuits for patent / copyright infingements then they are goiing to get us on usability studies !!! :-) Maybe it's about time that IBM received a little dig along the lines `you put 1 Billion $ into Linux, now how about doing the same for Linux on the Desktop !'.

Re: [Cooker] rpmdrake and newbies: they sometimes miss *installed*software
On Fri, 2003-06-27 at 14:16, FACORAT Fabrice wrote: True. On top of that we can think a little bit about rpmdrake and linux system. With linux user can't easily install an app if the app is : 1°/ a package that requires others libs ? That's exactly what rpmdrake is for. 2°/ not a rpm provide by mdk ( as others rpms may not work well because of provides/requires/etc ... pb ) This is not something we should fix. Instead, users need to understand why it is not in fact a problem. What about a foreign/not mdk package ? ... urpmi/gurpmi. Why ? because : No. Making it easier to install non-mdk packages is simply making it easier to screw up the system, so make it as hard as possible. 1°/ It will try to install this package and the required dependencies if possible. If it failed ... sorry it's linux, not windows. dependencies are not a sufficient safeguard for foreign packages, because of such things as overly fuzzy dependencies (say a Red Hat package just says it needs libxyz, because there's only one version of libxyz in Red Hat, so it installs happily on Mandrake, where there's a completely different version of libxyz, then crashes on run). 2°/ it simple No. See above. We try to imitate windows but it's impossible with linux. On windows you have a file that normally have all that it need inside it ( dll or static ) and put them in his directory or use standard windows lib. If you miss something ( seldom ), just grab the right file, most of the time it's just the new DirectX. The nightmare with windows was the fact that some apps override some windows systems dll and of course the registry ( what a mess ). But besides that install an app was easy. Want a game ? put the CD, setup.exe and during install process if it need new directX it provide it for u or u can simply install it. On linux ? take the rpm/sh. arf need libGL.x.y-z and your sys have libGL.x.t-u and several libs depends on it. upgrade ? sometimes some apps requires specific version of a lib - no way. The solution ? the game should provide everything, put this in his own directory or in /usr/local or in /opt . Linux libs change quickly and often break compatibility somewhere ( API, ABI for C++, behaviour) because most of them are not mature yet. You're simply talking about static compilation, which is exactly what commercially distributed, closed-source games for Linux do. It's really far less of a problem than it's made out to be. Quake 3 works perfectly well on Linux, for instance - it just has all the stuff it needs statically compiled into it, you drop a copy on any remotely modern distribution with sufficient hardware and it will run perfectly. To sum up it's more freedom and openess ( Opensource, free software, ... ) for less freedom ( use only what your distro provide you if you're a newbies or else you will have to dig inside things more complicated ) Which is correct for now. Until it's less dangerous to install non-mdk packages, we should not make it easier to do so. Of course, it would be very nice to work towards *making* it less dangerous, but get the two in the right order. :) -- adamw

Jun 26 22:19:56 jukebox network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed For me, the solution was to add MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Let me suggest three things that might be done to help this: 1. Improve the documentation. The documentation for ifcfg does not mention MII_NOT_SUPPORTED. This should change. 2. /etc/rc.d/init.d/network currently greps /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-devicename for the above flag. This means that we're violating the announced structure of that file, since we're just looking for a key, instead of loading the file and evaluating the variables. This is probably not a good thing. Can we change how the network script checks for this feature? I realize that loading the ifcfg file might be inconvenient, since the network file maps over all interfaces, but still this approach is no good. Perhaps have a command that will load the file and check the value of this variable (a la is_wireless_interface)? 3. Add something to drakconnect to verify that ifplugd will work on an interface and deactivate it if not. As an aside, I was a little nonplussed to find that removing eth0 from ifplugd.conf had no effect on this problem. I.e., /etc/rc.d/init.d/network and ifplugd can actually be in a state where they disagree about whether or not ifplugd is responsible for a given interface. That's probably not a good thing.

Your stating that it is completely useless but have implemented a hack which does exactly the same. No, I think the difference is that I completely control when something gets deleted for good, and within two days, if I don't need the deleted files because of a mistake, they are gone. The system I see you all raving about could potentially leave files that were intended to be deleted hanging around for a very long time without the user being aware of it. That would all depend on the policy you define for it. As a matter of fact: why not use the disk close to 100% all the time? The usage by the operational system may be _much_ lower, but the spare space can still be used for snapshots, deleted files, etc. etc. You just need a smart filesystem to do it. I really don't see the benefits. I haven't really seen any compelling arguments for this other than people saying they like the idea. Why? Hmmm... IMHO: I really love the way Network Appliance has implemented their snapshot and data recovery features in their (filer) products. It's what makes them rock. Back in 1999 I managed storage for a 700 person company on a Sun E3000. At that time managing it was a total nightmare. Solaris didn't support group quota's (linux did at that time) and keeping projects (groups) from using too much space meant keeping them on a seperate partitions (or disks). With a fully loaded E3000, 3 storage arrays, some disks raided it still all added up to _many_ filesystems. Backups were a nightmare, and recovering files took a lot of time. Oh yeah, we were serving files out to the unix people with automounted NFS and to the windows people with SMB (Totalnet Advanced Server). I would have _loved_ to loose the E3K and use a netapp filer instead. The netapp WAFL filesystem rules. A few years later the company did retire the E3K and moved to a netapp filer. I must say, Microsoft is listening to their customers when it comes to this kind of functionality. I hope linux can provide the same kind of functionality one day, in the filesystem and without any sysadmin hacks...

torsdagen den 26 juni 2003 22.15 skrev David Walser:
I was urpmi'ing a php module (that I didn't have
installed yet) and my Cooker is a bit out of date, so
it had to update all of the php and apache2 stuff, but
after the urpmi command it said I had to choose either
apache2-mod_php or php-cgi to satisfy a dependency,
the reason being, both provide php432. That can't
be right.
The other thing is, isn't apache2 the preferred apache
now? If so, could the apache2-suexec manpage be
renamed back to just suexec (what it's supposed to
be). I'm guessing the apache1 one has that name now,
it could be renamed to apache-suexec to stay out of
the way.
It appears to be a RPM bug.
Which one?
For the php432, this line appears in both the apache2-mod_php and php (php-cgi
section) spec files. It gives them that provides:
Provides: php%{libversion}
The php-dba_bundle spec file has:
Requires: php%{libversion}
So, that appears to be a packaging error. Or is it true that you can have either
apache2-mod_php or php-cgi, not have the other, and have enough for php-dba_bundle to
work? If so, then I guess it's OK, though it was a bit unexpected.
If you were referring to the suexec thing, the apache2-mod_suexec spec file contains
the following lines:
install -m4711 suexec %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}/%{ap_name}-suexec
install suexec.8 %{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man8/%{ap_name}-suexec.8
so that's a packaging problem (if you want to call it a problem). I was just saying
that if apache2 is the preferred apache now, those should be installed with their
normal names, and apache1 should work around it.

I haven't been able to correlate it to any application (for a while I thought it was ethereal, but I can't reliably recreate it) I am running the stock Mandrake 9.1 kernel ^^ this could be part of the problem. But it can also be that apm emulation is not loaded. You have to load a module, i forget the name, apm something. Check if /var/log/XFree.0.log complains about apm not being found. If so, put that module in /etc/modules so it gets loaded at boot. For me apm emulation was not sufficient to get it working perfectly with mdk kernel, also the benh kernel in 9.1 was not good enough, it worked reliable using a newer benh kernel and vide=radeonfb in yaboot.conf. 2.4.20-benh10 is on the club site in testing (including some mdk patches like supermount). Planning to put 2.4.21-benh1 in cooker contrib soon (I'm finishing up lowlatency kernel for i586 first). d. Danny, I did find that the apm_emu wasn't loading (and XFree.0.log was reporting it). I have loaded the module, restarted X, and now I get a nice message (in the XFree.0.log) that Open APM sucessful. I do see a change on the screen at wake up now, where the screen looks like it is way zoomed in (pixelated) and black and white, but after X does its refresh upon waking up, my screen is back to normal. I assume this is part of the APM emulation thing. I don't know if this will fix it (hopefully it will). I'll run this way and see if I don't get any more freezes. Thanks for the help, Craig...

I haven't been able to correlate it to any application (for a while I thought it was ethereal, but I can't reliably recreate it) In the past things like this have been bugs in the XFree86 code. If you switch to a VT before putting the PB to sleep and then switch back to X after and it works then it is a XFree86 bug. -- Ben Reser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.reser.org What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you. -- Nietzsche
