Because if SaMBa is ever to use some of the special features of CUPS 
(e.g. print to PDF), it needs to access CUPS through the library. You 
shouldn't need all of CUPS, just the library.

And splitting a single application (kopete and others) into 3-4 seperate rpms

[Cooker] URPMI thoughts

2003-09-29 Thread Greg Meyer
Awhile back I had tried to setup urpmi sources with multiple mirrors for each 
source, thinking that if one mirror was busy, urpmi would move to the next.  
In this way, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to login and try 
again, urpmi would simply move to the next preferred mirror.

When I tried this it didn't seem to work and I have not tried again.  Is this 
something that should be possible, or if not, can it be added as a feature?  
It seems like a useful feature.

Better documentation. I've made a couple of mdk rpms for stuff that

Mdk, so I just never did.

For God's sake, a urpmi proxy, like apt-proxy. Corporations are not
going to want each box pulling packages separately, and they don't want
to mirror, either. They just want to pull the stuff they need - once.

Also, a place where folks can go get urpmi lines. Not just for stuff
like MdkClub and mirrors, but kind of like Debian has a list of misc.
repositories available that make it easy to locate Mdk-specific packages
for whatever the user is looking for. Almost all unsupported and
unaffiliated, but at least a place where a user can go look for
homegrown packages of stuff (a la Texstar, etc.).

[Cooker] Raw images from digital cameras can be read with Linux now

2003-09-29 Thread Till Kamppeter
If you have a higher end digital camera, you will probably be able to 
let the camera save the raw sensor output on your memory card. These 
files are usually camera-specific and the formats not published by the 
manufacturers.

In addition most cameras store some manufacturer-specific data fields in 
the EXIF header of JPEG files.

I have made two new RPM packages and put them into the contribs: "dcraw" 
for reading raw images on many cameras and "metacam" to read 
manufacturer-specific EXIF extensions. Here are the descriptions 
(ChangeLog list seems to be broken currently):

--
Name: dcrawRelocations: (not relocateable)
Version : 0.20030928Vendor: MandrakeSoft
Release : 2mdk  Build Date: Sun Sep 28 
20:38:28 2003
Install Date: (not installed)   Build Host: no.mandrakesoft.com
Group   : Graphics  Source RPM: (none)
Size: 74009License: Distributable
Signature   : (none)
Packager: Till Kamppeter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
URL : http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/
Summary : Reads the raw image formats of more than 70 digital cameras
Description :

Reads and processes raw images from more than 70 digital cameras.

Raw images are the data directly read from the CCD of the camera,
without in-camera processing, without lossy JPEG compression, and in
36 or 48 bits color depth (TIFF has 24 bits). Problem of the raw
images is that they are in proprietary, camera-specific formats as
once, there seems not to be a standard format for high-color-depth
images, and second, the raw images contain headers with information
about camera settings.
This is a collection of command line tools to read and convert the raw
image files and also to get camera setting information out of them.
Please read the /usr/share/doc/dcraw-0.20030928/dcraw.html file (all
programs mentioned in this file are included with this package and the
dcraw-gimp package) and the man page ("man dcraw").
Install also dcraw-gimp if you want to be able to load raw image files
directly into the GIMP.
This program does not download the files from the camera, it only
processes the already downloaded files. Depending on your camera
model, mount your camera as a USB mass-storage device, use GPhoto2
("gtkam", "flphoto", "gphoto2"), or a flash card reader for
downloading the files.

Summary : Command line tool to read the EXIF extensions in JPEG files
Description :

Most digital cameras produce EXIF files, which are JPEG files with
extra tags that contain information about the image.
In contrary to the tools "exif" and "gexif" (and all other
libexif-based tools as "gphoto2") this tool gives a much easier
readable summary of camera settings. But the speciality of this
program is that it knows many manufacturer-specific entries for Nikon,
Canon, and Olympus cameras.
The tool is very compact, the executable has only a size of around 87
kb.

A very good point.  I personally rarely use the ISOs myself, though I do 
download and burn them occasionally just so I have a benchmark disk. It is so 
irritating to have one of those "cooker moments" when you find your system in 
such a state that you need to reboot from the CD, but you don't have a CD 
current enough to allow you to do so! (I've had this happen a couple of 
times.)

Without ISO images, how do we (the cooker tester community) locate the 
problems that the "real world" users will encounter? I know that haven't done 
a full install from an ISO for a long time, but I will soon - I have another 
WinBox that I'm ready to sacrifice to the Penguin God.

I can understand the point of view that "we don't need ISOs," at least for 
probably 80% of the cooker cycle. The final 20% should have at least a few 
ISO releases. (But then, don't we do that already? RC1, RC2, and in my 
opinion there should at least a quick-turn RC3 ... but then I'm an electrical 
engineer, and thus biased in favor of excessive prototyping. Ideally, RC3 
should be the released product.) It might be nice to have an ISO or two 
before RC1. Maybe that's overkill, maybe not.

If you cluster or drive them to pay, you will have less.

To be in the Mandrake club or not, to contribute to a linux distribution or

err... could have a software for automatic integration of packages of other

Make clear and up to date which hardware is compatible or not should be a good 
thing. Newbies (and others) like it. Manufacturers should want their products 
listed.

May be open source have not enough image of "serious" or "professional" for 
little enterprises, because everyone use something else (begin by a "m" or a 
"a" and end by a "$"), and use a software that everyone uses, that is the 
best, and sometimes that nobody really knows how it works, and what it can 
do!
Just pedagogy!

[Cooker] [Bug 5038] [Hardware] Officejet only prints in color

2003-09-29 Thread [cory.meisch]
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5038





--- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-29-09 23:58 ---
Official word from the HP developer :

You are right, use one of the grayscale modes for true black (K) printing. 

Normal and Photo modes will use K-fortification or composite black which is not
always desirable when printing black text. This is true for VIP and non-VIP
printers.

We are working on future hpijs release which will print black (K) text in Normal
mode. 

Grayscale (K) printing will always be faster than Norm (KCMY) and Photo (CMY).

You can close this bug as expected behaviour.

(That's not entirely true.)

When I print using my Officejet D135, it only uses the color cartridge to print.
It's supposed to autodetect by the paper type and I'm using plain old inkjet paper. 

Expected behavior:  A mixed text and graphic page should use the black cartridge
for solid black (text) and the color cartridge for color.

Actual behavior: If the page is only black, the driver uses the black cartridge,
but if the page has any color, the driver uses only the color cartridge.

I don't install cvs snapshots that have a release number > 1mdk. Why? 
Because either it's not going to upgrade well, or the maintainer is going 
to have to epoch it, or I have to do some clean up manually later (ie 
--force or --oldpackage).

Please see the section on the rpm howto on the wiki regarding prereleases, 
the suggested method is something like 
%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-0.%{IDENTIFIER}.mdk

where %{IDENTIFIER} is something like:
alpha1
beta2
cvsMMDD
pre3
rc1

(they would take precedence in that order, so hopefully cvs releases 
aren't necessary after a pre).

samba3 has some macros to help with this (although they are quite complex, 
but with 24 alphas, 3 betas and 4 rc's it did save a lot of time).

Regards,
Buchan

dosbox sux, dosemu ownz. :) I needed dosemu for NASM which ide is in PMODE, 
and not supported by dosbox.

as I understand, in the definition of free s/w here is "it can be compiled 
using free tools". I think that freedos can be compiled with some "free" (no 
cost and open source compiler) the name ran out of my head sorry.

If anyone wants dos emu, and he cannot have it from the official sites, he can 
have it here.

plf can mirror and use that rpm if they want. (mail me please if you do).

BTW, AFAIK none of the Linmodem drivers can go in contrib or int he free 
section of MandrakeClub, so the best (IMHO) thing to do is to get them 
into MandrakeClub first, and then onto the commercial disks (which I have 
tried for ltmodem).

You will notice I have packages for almost all available kernels for 
Mandrake 9.1 in MandrakeClub.

But again, there is no documented policy (and maybe even the resitrictions 
on what you should use it for) anywhere, so people don't know how to get 
one.


Of course, it should be possible to have the entire development 
infrastructure in LDAP, which (if administered well) could allow more 
scalability in managing rights of contributors etc. It would also allow 
more public advertising of the infrastructure support Mandrake can provide 
as an IT solution.

It's broken during installation (AFAICT), but try:
# drakauth

You will see we have winbind support (aka as close to Windows-style domain 
membership as is possible without samba3 in main). Next releae we should 
have AD support (if all goes well).

BTW, have you looked at publishing printers in AD? It should be possible 
with samba3.

And, by default, samba should share out all printers, and any member of 
the adm group should be able to upload print drivers for point-n-print 
drivers support. I also packaged the cups native windows drivers and 
informed the right people (allowing you full use of the ppd files 
installed for CUPS), but I don't know if it will be on the commercial 
disks.

In short, there isn't much we haven't done, and I hope we can get a 
comprehensive libconf-based tool for configuring the rest for the next 
release (swat-clone isn't too bad, but we need to simplify the ui by 
abstracting it more from the config file).

Buchan

I just made bt open torrents manully, the first one you posted 3.3-1 did this 
automatically and i had 3.1.3 at the time. Then i switched to 3.2 and the new

  Probably it's because the version used sucks, but any mailing list

Re: [Cooker] [Bug 6022] [efax] New: kdebase dependency problem when uninstalling efax

2003-09-29 Thread Aimak Rokalno
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

why splitting if the dependencies of the single packages suggest to uninstall 
the whole KDE section (ie kdenetwork or kdebase)?

I´m not going to use fax related applications, but when trying to uninstall 
them I get the dependency warning suggesting to remove other packages I need.

Better to keep everything packed so users don't get tempted to uninstall 
individual packages.

Sorry for bringing the subject again up.

Cheers

Cory. does this mean that HP has developed the HP DeskJet 990C and all the

can hold both a black and a color cartridge? That´s somewhat strange for me.

When I print using my Officejet D135, it only uses the color cartridge to print.
It's supposed to autodetect by the paper type and I'm using plain old inkjet paper. 

Expected behavior:  A mixed text and graphic page should use the black cartridge
for solid black (text) and the color cartridge for color.

Actual behavior: If the page is only black, the driver uses the black cartridge,
but if the page has any color, the driver uses only the color cartridge.

Oh no, you download iso's at work, unpack them and remaster them with

Might it possibly easier to rsync at work and then makeing iso's for

In order to print true black, use the greyscale modes. This will print black
text using the black cartridge. If you choose color modes, it will use the color
to generate the black portions of the print job.

Suggestion: Create a different queue for each of the print modes.

Interesting.  I know exim is popular and would be easy for those moving from
debian since exim is the default MTA there (even if it's still exim3).

It's ready.  I was waiting for more finished translations to roll out 0.2.4
final, but what's up is essentially ready for prime time.

Not sure on an official announcement or PR, but it will likely be linked to
from the 9.2 errata page, MandrakeSecure, Bugzilla, MandrakeExpert, and IIRC
it is in the feature list for 9.2.

It works.  Stew and I spent a fair amount of time on drakbug to make it work
with Anthill... see bug #1.  That is a test from me using drakbug (slightly
mangled /etc/mandrake-release) to report against Corporate 2.1.

And yes, bugs on Anthill will be treated very harshly.  Support requests
will be killed immediately and referred to MandrakeExpert.  Cooker bugs will
be nixed immediately and referred to Bugzilla.  Valid reports will be
evaluated and essential fixes will be put into updates.  Things deemed
insignificant will likely be closed (this is more of a means to report
really nasty bugs for fixing... not little things like fonts in gkrellm).

BTW, there was some resistance to people using Mandrake on the servers
on campus since there were no exim packages (even though I pointed the
rpmhelp ones out), since exim is the "understood" mail server here. One
of the bigger linux servers on campus has however been running Mandrake
for quite a while, after they found out Postfix is easy enough to configure.

Our server has of course been running postfix for a long time.

Oh, I know qmail is... I definitely know qmail is.  =)  I get lots of
feedback on the qmail packages, but I've only heard from 2 people on the
exim packages.  There's probably more than 2 people, but I can't honestly

[Cooker] [Bug 4770] [mc] make it default

mc is a compact general purpose tool, only one function of which is to easily
find and repair config files with its intuitive interface and intuitive built in
editor. The easy copy/move functions lend itself well to the back it up before
modifying concept, which absolutely none of the GUI tools do.  It doesn't
require X, but is easily used to fix anything that can be fixed with a plain
text editor. It's the swiss army knife of the Linux world. Sure a particular
tool may be better for a particular purpose, but the swiss army knife is
nevertheless suitable enough to include as standard issue, the best general
purpose console tool, the best way to get about in general, to fix a broken
lilo.conf or menu.lst, whether or not X is working.

Damien, the fact that everyone seems to get this wrong indicates that the user
interface is wrong.

The zeroconf hostname is largely irrelevant to most people (since 95% of the
desktops out there don't support zeroconf), whereas the hostname *is* very
relevant (since it is shown in millions of places).

You really need to making the setting of hostname most obvious. The zeroconf
hostname will follow it by default.

If I enter a zeroconf hostname during install, my hostname is still set to
"localhost" even though I specified a hostname.

I can go and verify that the "Zeroconf Host name" is correctly set in "Network *
Internet Configuration".  

In fact the text reads as follows;

"Enter a Zeroconf host name without any dot if you don't want to use the default
host name."

So I have to add a hostname to "Host name" to get the host name I want.

This problem exists in the 4.3-22 and 4.3-23 drivers. Whenever I log into X w/
KDE or Gnome within a matter of hours (2 usually) X uses up enough of the memory
to hang the system. Currently it's at 46% usage, wait it went up to 59.5% and a
couple minutes before it was at 50-ish % as well. Apparently the increased isn't
steady. Not that it matters. The end result is always the same. I get this sound
from my computer indicating that something is accessing the hard drive (kswapd?)
like crazy and seconds to a minute after I have an unusable desktop. 
Usage is at 68% now so I better make this quick. 
This is how I reproduce it:
log in to kde or gnome
open up a file manager
open up mozilla, x-chat, mcc and gaim.
Sit back and watch the numbers go up. 
I actually did watch last time and it seemed to me to happen quicker when
mozilla was open. 
I have the cool looking cursors installed for X too, come to think of it I don't
think I was having these problems w/ the plain cursors. I'll switch them and see
what happens. 
BTW whenever i do ALt+sysrq+i to kill X (cause ctrl-blah doesn't respond) i get
taken to a garbled terminal.

nvidia ti-4200
256 mb sdram
~500 mb swap
happens when I use nv drivers or nvidia drivers. 
Can't think of anything else to help in troubleshooting
X usage was 58% a couple secs ago now it's 67.4% This took me about 5-8 minutes
to write.

OK, so instead of fixing XFdrake on your hardware, we should make everyone
install and use mc?

Sorry Felix, but it works on every single machine I have tried it on (quite a
few) and it works fine. It will even (IIRC) install the NVidia RPMS if necessary
(if they are accessible via urpmi), and for boxed sets the user doesn't even
need to know what the binary drivers are.

Please, file a bug on XFdrake instead.

And so is the argument that mc is the best tool to use to fix X configurations.

> mc is an invaluable generic support tool,

I would agree it is "valuable", I personally find vim more invaluable, but this
shows that these are opinions, not facts.

I can't agree with that one. I may have mc on <10% of my systems, and I don't
want it on them.

> I shouldn't have to tell a newbie that in order to fix something,

The sooner they learn to use urpmi, the better. Should I say that ksambaplugin
should be installed by default so I don't have to tell newbies to install it to
configure samba???

Your first approach should be to solve the problem in the most convenient way
possible. Answering hundreds of support questions for 9.1 I have never had to
tell a user to edit a config file on the console, since everything could be
configured easily with the drakxtools (drakboot, XFdrake etc etc).

Instead of labouring this point, could you file bugs on the hardware which cause
the problems in the first place, so everyone can benefit?

And I don't think that posting the FAQ from the software in question is a valid
argument for having it installed by default. If it were, we would have to
include everything in the distro by default.

it is provided by libgal2.0 but it hasn't changed for a loong time..

Could you try the following :
-evolution --force-shutdown
-gconftool --shutdown
-tar cjvf ~/evolution.tar.bz2 ~/evolution ~/.gconf/apps/evolution
-mv evolution evolution.old
-mv ~/.gconf/apps/evolution ~/evolution-gconf

then run evolution, reconfigure it and see if it still fails..

If it doesn't, try to remove all sensitive infos from your tarball (account
name, password, mails, etc..), make sure it fails with those files and attach it
here so I could duplicate your problem..

I am happy to report though that the problem was not caused by my build

/dev/hdc -> ide/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

mount -t msdos /dev/hdc1 /mnt/photo/ does nothing and gives no prompt.
Once devfsd is manually stopped (service devfsd stop), 
/dev/hdc and /dev/hdc1 still point to the right 
things and the previous mount command works.
Then you need to umount /dev/hdc1 and to restart devfsd.
This is a bug and you should be able to let work

The same bug existed with the devfsd version coming with LM9.0

I took a look at the ximian bugs: 45528 is definitely not the same problem, and
I can't reproduce the behavior described in 44994.

Is there a different library that provides the calendar/date-selector? Perhaps

[Cooker] [Bug 3567] [mozilla] Can't type in boxes in webpage

Buchan, I'm sorry, I've used mozilla as my only browser last week and I never
encounter this bug :(( (and BTW, it was a real pain to use it, compared to
galeon/epiphany :))

Could it be a problem triggered by window manager ?

Guys, which window manager are you using when you get this focus loss ? Does
switching to another WM fixes the problem ?

Very strange, I did that and I don't see any crash..

First, check you are running evolution-1.4.4-8mdk package.

>From Ximian bugzilla, your bug could be either
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45528 
or
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44994
Could you try :
-run evolution --force-shutdown
-move files from ~/evolution/views/tasks in another directory
-run evolution

if it works, could you try to attach a tarball of those files here ?

ok, deleting the mdk default didn't help because then it just chose the gnome default 
and after I 
deleted that one it wouldn't bring up the graphical chooser anymore so now i'm just 
using the 
normal one. I'll reinstall and see what happens.

I wish everyone I worked with was so diplomatic.

What exactly are you looking for in a test scenario?

I'm running 9.2RC2 with all updates current through yesterday.

1. Open Evolution.
2. Select File->New->Task.
3. Click on down arrow to the right of the "Start Date" box, to open the date
selector.

The "Now", "Today", and "Close" buttons get drawn. Then Evolution, and the
unfinished date selector box, disappear.

Work fine here.. Of course, you must click on the radio button in Graphical
banner list to get it selected (just selecting a theme in the list will display
it in the preview pane.)

2 solutions for U :
1 - you are a club member and you'll be able to download the iso past
15th of october.
2 - you are not a member (so you are suggested to become one ...) and
you'll need to wait until the end of october to get them (when packs
will be ready).

Strange policy when said a fortiori, from my point of view. Please don't
answer this mail now, it was just information for him.

More details (long thread) at :

PS : it is suggested also that 'contributors' should have it at the same
time as club members ...

[Cooker] 9.2 ISOs

2003-09-29 Thread Pierre BETOUIN
Hello,

I were on holidays, so i've lost a lot of mail, including cooker ones...
I may have miss a mail on the ML, but i'm searching for 9.2 ISOs.

As i read on mdk web site :
"
Next ISOs of Mandrake 9.2 Download Edition will be available for Club
Members and all people who have contributed to the new version
(including developers and translators), prior to retail packs and public
download release.

This new policy was strongly suggested by Club Members for a long time.
It is now possible to offer this opportunity with the new BitTorrent
technology.

Mandrake 9.2 ISO images will be released in advance to Mandrake Club
users, hopefully before October 15th, when all last tests will have been
achieved.

Thanks to all people who made possible this new promising release of
Mandrake Linux.

MandrakeSoft Team.

Can you give me more informations ?
Thanks.

Pierre

If libcups2 isn't exclusive of any of the other printing systems, is it 
such a big problem to install it? All it requires is some 
near-universal graphics, crypto and compression libraries.
