[Cooker] ISDN , rp-pppoe and route GUI for X
Hy, please have a look for a GUI to configuration rp-pppoe .. the start in the 9.2b1 was nice , good work ! but i thin it is needing a detai configurationsgui for kernel ISDN, we need for isdn a detaied configurations-gui for isdn and isdn-cards who configuring isdn,hisax and capi for making a monitorung the isdn-lines and for answeringmashins in linux, my Computer is a multimashin for my home, it is a routing for interna static mashins, Isdn and dealin-server, therefor i need a very good configurationsgui for isdn and a good answeringmashin on isdn. and , please, dont take a dhcpd for internaroutin, or make 2 way's for configurating the internal network routing, with a detaired configuration on one config-card. And, i have manny configfiles in my etc, and the configs donf work all in the linuxconf, my ide is, take a look in /etc/ and look how configfiles in dem directory, write a configprogramm, e.g. drakeconf, but with a pluginfolder, who compatieles with variable versions of plugins, the plugins if needet, can download by a Mandrake-pluginpage, and, or by rpmdrak and red-carpet, how ever for geting a pack.. there Configprogramm is writing in tk or tcl for easy using in every windowmanager... ore as php-config-programm with plugins... take a look on x-setup or winfaq the Regestry-system-wissard on win32. Route, the routing, i dont find a programm, for configurate the static routing in Mandrake, i want configuring my static route for interna routing, but if i make this in promt, it is very difficult, if have we are a configuring-gui for them, were we see, were goes the routes, with one or two clicks configuring them, and i see with a gui them config, i think it is better.. this can be a plugin for the Systemmanagment with a plugin-directory. greetings Blacky blackysgate.de blackysgate.com

Re: [Cooker] weird slowdowns with Cooker today
Not directly connected, it's connected through a firewalled router. I doubt that's the answer, because the system response is fine all the time except when there's network traffic *to this system*. Look following Linux kernel mailing list summary from the kerneltraffic.org: Mika -- 1. Progress Toward 2.4.22; Problems With BitKeeper Gateway; Mysterious Kernel Lockups 5 Jul - 2 Aug (63 posts) Archive Link: Linux 2.4.22-pre3 Topics: FS: devfs, Version Control People: Ben Collins, Larry McVoy, Adrian Bunk, Marcelo Tosatti, Jim Gifford, Andrea Arcangeli, Jeff Garzik Marcelo Tosatti announced 2.4.22-pre3, and Ben Collins complained that the -pre version number was not shown in the sources. Neither -pre2 nor -pre3 had proper version tagging, he said, adding, It just makes it easier when tracking down regressions to have known points of reference common across BK/CVS/SVN/tar+diff. Marcelo said the sources looked properly tagged to him, and Larry McVoy asked, Hmm. Ben, look again in the CVS tree and make sure that the tags aren't there. Maybe the converter screwed up? Ben replied, Doesn't show up in linux-2.4/ChangeSet,v as a tag. Adrian Bunk also pointed out, -pre2 and -pre3 are also missing at http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/cset/.; Jeff Garzik confirmed that whatever other problems there were, Marcelo had definitely tagged his own BitKeeper tree properly. A couple days later, Larry said, I think I've found the bug - it's in the code that collapses multiple changesets into one CVS checkin. It looks like we are picking up tags only if the tag was on the last changeset in the sequence instead of any changeset in the sequence. We're fixing it. Ben thanked him, and that was it for that subthread. Elsewhere, Jim Gifford reported on an ongoing problem he'd been having with the 2.4 series: lockups, after about two days. The 2.4.22-pre3 did not fix his problem, he said, although he could avoid the crash by running 'sync' every hour. Marcelo and Alan asked for more information, and together they eliminated compiler versions and bad memory. Jim continued to reproduce the problem over the course of several new pre-releases. At one point Marcelo noticed that Jim's kernel was not based on pristine sources (Jim had added some netfilter and megaraid patches), and asked if Jim could reproduce the lockups with the official kernel. Yes, the lockups still persisted. Andrea Arcangeli also got into the act, asking Jim to remove devfs and other modules that were not part of the main tree. Jim did this, and was unable to produce the lockup in -pre7. He asked if Marcelo wanted him to run other tests, but Marcelo replied, I guess most of us is already convinced that the lockups were caused by the non-stock code. But Jim tried running the stock -pre6 kernel, and was able to reproduce the lockup. He said, something in -pre7 seems to have fixed the problem. So he started adding the non-stock code back into -pre7, and later -pre8, piece by piece, to see if any of them would cause the problem. Eventually he felt he'd narrowed the problem down to some netfilter patches he'd applied; and Marc Heckmann, who also experienced similar lockups on his system, remarked that everyone who'd seen the problem had been using iptables. The situation was quite complex, and there was no absolutely clear resolution on the list. As Jim put it toward the end of the discussion, The wierd part is that people are having problems with different modules and it's hard to track down what is in common.

Chmouel,
Can you forward the following also to the Cooker mailing list, because for
several weeks I have not been able to post a single thing there. It's sad :-/
I found several strange things in the grub code.
(And yes, I applied both the memcpy and gcc patches)
I inserted in my grub/main.c the following (debug) statements:
[...]
case OPT_DEVICE_MAP:
device_map_file = strdup (optarg);
fprintf(stderr, JvS in grub/main.c. We found a device_map file,
optarg=%s\n, optarg);
fprintf(stderr, JvS in grub/main.c. and the device_map_file=%s\n,
device_map_file);
break;
[..]
And this is what happens:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] grub-0.93]$ grub/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map
JvS in grub/main.c. We found a device_map file, optarg=/boot/grub/device.map
JvS in grub/main.c. and the device_map_file=(null)
And this shows that strdup() does not work as advertised!
using debug statements I determined that the actual segmentation fault
occurs within a system call to realpath()
in function init_device_map() at line 553 of lib/device.c
(realpath() tries to find the real path for /dev/discs/disc0 by following
the symlinks)
So there seems to be a problem with the use of standard system libraries
from grub.
I was not able to correct the problems.
I hope this analysis helps.

To my understanding the installation should put that name correctly into postfix. OK, that's a better report, but this is IMHO how it should work: 1)You set the hostname once in drakconnect in normal mode, which should set HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/hostname, in which case: -tmdns will use it -postfix, apache, samba, etc etc will use it -syslog will use it (yours is using localhost) preferably it should be sent with a dhcp request by default also (I am not sure if this is currently the case. Things that should not be possible: -have a different hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network than in /etc/tmdns.conf. There is no use in registering a name in multicast DNS which is not the `hostname` =IMHO, the bug is setting the hostname in /etc/tmdns.conf, it should *only* be set in /etc/sysconfig/network Things that should be possible: -choose to use hostname assigned by dhcp server -choose to send a different hostname to the dhcp server BTW, does anyone know if tmdns is of any use? If all it's going to do is make `hostname` resolve on the local machine, we might as well use /etc/hosts for this. If the user has DHCP, chances are they have DNS, and tmdns is useless. Apparently the use of .local has some issues on Windows2000 domains when using default settings. The only reason tmdns can be useful is in a network of machines *not* connected to the internet, which *don't* use DHCP, and which *don't* have DNS. Thus, IMHO, tmdns should only be started if DHCP leases are not available (when using a zcip address), and *only* if tmdns can resolve names of other zeroconf machines.

Re: [Cooker] -tmb kernel vs -mdk kernel

[Cooker] mod_dvb-1.0.0 - build-framework is not updated - unfunctional
Hi! I tried to use the mod_dvb on my Beta 1. In the current way, they are unusable. I will cite guido draheim, who has made the dvb-modules-1.0.0 RPM for 9.1. me: The mod_dvb in the Cooker kernel is the latest version of the dvb-drivers. As it seems to me they do something wrong there. They have a load more modules then I have with your RPM. and with adding the devfsd part and the modules.conf entry all I get are errors. I don't really know much how all this works :/ . I hope you have some pointers what they are doing wrong , that it doesn't work out of the box. Guido: - easy. The cooker kernel does only contain a copy of the latest _sources_ but not the build environment of dvb-drivers. While the dvb-driver developers have changed their build hints, the cooker kernel make-snippet has not been adapted. Among the changes is a new way that .o parts are re-linked into final kernel modules. It does now have a core part and a list of frontends. That's what the conflicts come from, it's not advisable to have both versions of modularization around. -- To make it short: The build environment needs to be updated to get these things working. The way it is currently done, compiles, but is obsolete and doesn't work. I will try to get patches from guido , that will fix that. But if someone is capable to fix that, it would be nice to do so, since I don't know how fast I can get the patches from guido and it would be nice to test it with beta3. Regards Steffen

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my Hauppauge Nova-t working. I have a DVB-s working here, but currently not with cooker. The driver that are in cooker are currently unfunctional, since they are wrong compiled :(. You can load the driver direkt from linuxtv.org and compile them. Hopefully in the future (means for 9.2) the drivers in Cooker will work. If you have the drivers working, the next problem is the application. Since you have budget cards, you can't use simply vdr kvdr. Someone is working on a plugin for vdr that uses xine-lib as frontend device, so you could use all the features of vdr with your card. Another solution is a relative new app called qdvbzap. thats a wrapper to dvbtune and mplayer/xine. You have a little panel for channelselection and choose the channel to start mplayer on that channel. What you most likely need too is the scan tool from the dvb driver package in DVB/apps/scan. With that you can search all available channels you have with your dvb-t. I hope this gives you some hints. If you need helb in installation I would say the dvb-mailinglist is a more aproriate forum, since this is not a help forum.

Re: [Cooker] mod_dvb-1.0.0 - build-framework is not updated - unfunctional
From: Steffen Barszus [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! I tried to use the mod_dvb on my Beta 1. In the current way, they are unusable. I will cite guido draheim, who has made the dvb-modules-1.0.0 RPM for 9.1. me: The mod_dvb in the Cooker kernel is the latest version of the dvb-drivers. As it seems to me they do something wrong there. They have a load more modules then I have with your RPM. and with adding the devfsd part and the modules.conf entry all I get are errors. I don't really know much how all this works :/ . I hope you have some pointers what they are doing wrong , that it doesn't work out of the box. Guido: - easy. The cooker kernel does only contain a copy of the latest _sources_ but not the build environment of dvb-drivers. While the dvb-driver developers have changed their build hints, the cooker kernel make-snippet has not been adapted. Among the changes is a new way that .o parts are re-linked into final kernel modules. It does now have a core part and a list of frontends. That's what the conflicts come from, it's not advisable to have both versions of modularization around. -- To make it short: The build environment needs to be updated to get these things working. The way it is currently done, compiles, but is obsolete and doesn't work. I will try to get patches from guido , that will fix that. But if someone is capable to fix that, it would be nice to do so, since I don't know how fast I can get the patches from guido and it would be nice to test it with beta3. Regards Steffen I thought they looked different when I had a look on source package, but since svetljo sent me a clean kernel patch I didn't verify it..., I'll give it a go tomorrow... Thomas
Re: [Cooker] gsensors rebuild
Any sensor app should work only through the interfaces offered by the library, not needing anything but liblm_sensors2-devel. So... I got the scr.rpm, just commented out the #include linux/sensors.h and rebuilt. And works OK. Thanks, I haven't even tried to do this :) Nice for a bug report to gsensors author ? No, he discontinued the project :/ See http://www.vkcorp.org/gsensors/ I'll try to maintain the Mdk package as long as I can if nobody else does. Hope this helps. Sure :) Ah, just a note. I see no icon on the Add to panel/Utility/GNOME Sersors. Could you just copy /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-ccperpiph.png, or/usr/share/pixmaps/hotapplet/hotapplet.png ?

[Cooker] metacity and raise-on-click
Hi all... I use sloppy focus on my gnome setup. Since the latest metacity updates, windows do not raise when clicked inside its frame, in the content area. I have to click on window decorations to raise them. How can I get the old behaviour again ? Should not this be configurable also in Gnome/Windows control center applet ? TIA -- J.A.

[Cooker] Big thank you for the package splits
It's so nice to be able to install things like KMail and the KDEUtils independantly as opposed to having lots of extra software I didn't need installed just to get some little program I happened to want. Big thanks for those.

[Cooker] new kernel alsa
Juan et al, How does your current alsa implementation differ from the alsa tarball? How can I see your configure command (it's not in the kernel spec)? My M-Audio Quattro runs fine when I build alsa from the tarball and install it over the current kernel modules, but when I run it with any mdk kernel with alsa 0.9.6, it locks hard or hard reboots.

Chmouel,
Can you forward the following also to the Cooker mailing list, because
for
several weeks I have not been able to post a single thing there. It's sad
:-/
I found several strange things in the grub code.
(And yes, I applied both the memcpy and gcc patches)
I inserted in my grub/main.c the following (debug) statements:
[...]
case OPT_DEVICE_MAP:
device_map_file = strdup (optarg);
fprintf(stderr, JvS in grub/main.c. We found a device_map file,
optarg=%s\n, optarg);
fprintf(stderr, JvS in grub/main.c. and the device_map_file=%s\n,
device_map_file);
break;
[..]
And this is what happens:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] grub-0.93]$ grub/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map
JvS in grub/main.c. We found a device_map file,
optarg=/boot/grub/device.map
JvS in grub/main.c. and the device_map_file=(null)
And this shows that strdup() does not work as advertised!
using debug statements I determined that the actual segmentation fault
occurs within a system call to realpath()
in function init_device_map() at line 553 of lib/device.c
(realpath() tries to find the real path for /dev/discs/disc0 by following
the symlinks)
So there seems to be a problem with the use of standard system libraries
from grub.
I was not able to correct the problems.
I hope this analysis helps.
John

Would be worthwhile to look at this. I had to disable harddrake on all my computers with MDK9.1 otherwise they would lock during boot.

[Cooker] [RFD] supermount behaviour on empty drive
last version makes ls /mnt/cdrom not fail but show empty directory if drive is empty (or if mount failed in general). this was done to ensure FAM can open mount point and get notification when subfs gets mounted. as danny pointed out it may be confusing for users. but it is the only possbility I am aware of to make FAM and supermount coexist. here is poll - should this functionality - be disabled - made optional (mount option) that I do not like - left as is. and to Laurent - yes, this version fixes FAM + supermount so you can remove patch that disabled notification of ro media.
