If you have a local cooker mirror, you can boot it straight from there. I have a seperate /boot on my desktop, so I put things there.

[Cooker] missing all.img in cooker
Hi! I would like if there was an all.img with all the boot stuff available in cooker. There was one at some time in the beta stage, but now it is gone. Could I use such an image from a small hd partition to boot from? What is the best method to boot of disk? Save it in my home partition which normally survives between installs? Save it on my windows partition, which also survives, and is bootable? Is there some setup that would be easy for a newbie? Download to ypur windows partition and then boot from there? (may be only a win98 thing, XP may not allow that) best regards Keld

[Cooker] Ideas for MDK 10
How much desire would there be for multi head configuration support in Harddrake? I recently connected an external monitor to my laptop and now I have dual displays. It took me a couple of days of digging but I got the "how to" for Xinerama and configured it successfully. I think it would be a nice feature. Plus, I'd like to figure out how to have applications open on the main display by default... Cory Meisch Thursday Oct 09 2003 09:59:52 AM PDT You will step on the night soil of many countries.

And kde could make an API or wrapper so that urpmi or apt-get or what-have-you could be used for installation. As I wrote, a number of things could be available by right-clicking in the menu. One thing I miss, is deletion from the menu, or uninstallation. I think there are too many items in some of the menus, and would like to get rid of some of them. This could also actually be done by a "del" button hit, and additon could also be done by an "insert" maybe at the menu category name. However, this should not become too obscure. Best regards Keld

Oh, well, however, I think localized menus could be generated also by mandrakesoft, maybe even automatically. It is the same screenshots that need to be generated, and im many cases it is just the front GUI that you would need to show.

There should be just a few choices available in each menu, that is the recommended Mandrake choices for the specific menu. The additions could then be done by right-clicking the menu category, such as "office applications" - here a number of applications could then be shown, for installation. Furthermore to help in diminishing clutterization of the menus, one could restrict the menu to some shown items that have been used, and then a "more..." item to list more installed programs.

IMO, application window only, but submitter's choice of window decorations are fine. Screen shots at the various Linux sites use various decorations, and it doesn't seem to cause any problems. The same goes for color scheme. Any scheme should be allowed. Linux isn't Windows, where there's only one shipped window manager, and even Windows has color schemes. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem. Anyone confused by it, well, this is Linux, not Windows. One of the benefits of Linux is the amount of customization one can do. In fact, before I moved from MSWormOS myself, that was one of the things that impressed me with Linux -- the huge amount of customization visible in the various screen shots I laid eyes on. In fact, I'm guessing what could actually happen is that users may see decorations they like and club, etc. may need to dedicate a new forum to questions about how to get the effect seen in screenshot X. One interesting possibility would be to collect this information and make it available at an appropriate club or whatever URL, where one could take a look at the screenshots online as well, even if included in the distrib. Thus, we'd have for a description of a shot, say, of kmail, if I took it: KMail, main screen, KDE environment, Custom color scheme, Keramik style, Redmond decorations. This online version would be quite handy for folks wishing to take a look at what was available with Mandrake before switching, as well, and could produce a substantial number of new users! I know I'd like to send a couple folks to visit, as they consider me a computer guru, but are a bit hesitant to take up Linux currently. That might get them interested, then I could let them borrow a "live" CD, then.. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

Drakclub is aimed at first to create a one-month-free-trial-account, adding urpmi sources is one feature amongst others. I personnaly don't think that it belongs to Packaging :( Maybe it should be put on the desktop as before. Ok, i finished discussing with David and it's highly probable that we put it in 'Mandrake Galaxy Welcome Screen'. For the menu entry, we have to find a better location. > Now that we look at it (and regarding the rpmdrake thread), maybe > "Packaging" is a bad name for this section?

Have one entry on the menu that leads to another copy of the menu, as suggested. Note that menu right-clicking would be a function of the environment used. KDE, the Mdk default, may well (probably will, as the current menu is comparable to the Win95 menu at this point, and folks used to W98+ functionality with dynamic right-clickable reorganizeable menus would find it useful) include right click functionality of their own at some point. I don't believe patching Mdk's KDE to include install, therefore, is a very good idea. However, having as one entry a nested copy of the main menu layout, with all possible entries on it, for (un)installation, would be manageable using the current interface. All it would require would be some more text format .mnu files under /usr/lib/menu, and perhaps loading a few more icons, tho not many as many of them are used multiple times as is. Item entries on this new menu would call up a tool that would see if it was installed already or not. If so, it would offer the user the option of uninstalling it. If not, it would offer the user the option of installing it. Alternatively, packages could be modified to change this menu entry upon installation, and change it back upon uninstall. In this way, the entry could display say an x if uninstalled, or a plus if installed, making it immediately obvious what was installed from the installer menu, without having to take a trip back out to the main menu to look again, if in doubt. The core Mdk installation would include a mandrake-installer-menu package, with the installer/uninstaller app, and possibly the additional menu layout (which would otherwise be packaged and installed with the standard menu package). A separate package, say mandrake-installer-menu-screenshots, could be made optional. I haven't actually run a full distrib install since 8.1 (as I urpmi upgrade instead), but if a fairly standard normal vs. custom/minimal install option is used, normal would include the screenshots package by default, but custom/minimal would not. As for space, yes, the screenshots package WOULD take a non-trivial amount of additional space, but if done right, I believe it would be well worth the cost in terms of trading out another package to include it. I'd suggest putting screenshots on disk 2 (or even 3), but the installer menu on disk one, if possible, or in place of rpmdrake or whatever, whichever disk that's on. (Rpmdrake and anything else it replaced could then be put on disk 3, or later (left off the disks, as many apps, on the mirrors and in packaged sets, if the d/l edition remains @ 3 disks), rather than removed entirely, if so desired.) As well, low rez or highly compressed jpgs could be used, helping to control space use. Again, yes, this WOULD mean a trade-off, but I expect newbies would more than appreciate the additional ease of use, making it well worth it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

What you want to see is what the app look like. Now concerning colors/fonts, this is subsidiary. Of course you can always set polices ( take screenshot off the apps on default desktop install and configuration and take only app window screenshot ) I remember that when I want to test an app under windows I was first trying to see a screenshot and the GUI could make me do my choice. That's why on most windows site you have screenshots ( cf telecharger.com or clubic.com ). When I hear about a new apps on linux, my reflexe is going to the site and look at the screenshot and depending on the screenshot ( and of courses of the features ) I can decide if the app is interesting for a desktop usage. --- La science des occasions et des temps est la principale partie des affaires. -- Bossuet

And if /var isn't mounted, most server applications won't start, since they cannot write log files or access the data they need, the initscripts can't touch the files in /var/lock/subsys.

[Cooker] kde styles...
Hi, I figure I have to be doing something wrong, but I was looking to change the KDE style last night and the only styles I see are Liquid and the default QT styles. I installed all the kdemoreartwork packages and the .so files are in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins but KDE is not noticing. I do get some messages when running kcmshell style from the command prompt about some of the files being linked against incompatible QT version (3.1.2) I have libqt3-3.1.2-14mdk installed, which I think is the latest. thanks, scott

[Cooker] [Bug 6056] [urpmi] urpmi.update and local mirror for updates (mdk 9.1)

That kind of configuration is needed because we have firewall, but Mdk updates mirror location is on the local network (local mirror ftp server for Mandrake updates). I think that the problem is in calling 'culr' command, if there is no proxy settings in file '/etc/urpmi/proxy.cfg'. Urmpi.update calls curl as follows: /usr/bin/curl 0-s -I ftp://nanos/linux/distr/Mandrake/updates/9.1/base/hd I think that there is invalid parameter '0-s', which maybe? it should be '-0 -s', but I can not see the whole command line with parameters of the running process to see the whole picture. In this situation probably curl uses parameter '0-s' as an URL, which must be found, but '0-s' URL doesn't exist. There is no problem to make 'urpmi.update', if URPMI update source resides on the internet (e.g. ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/...). In this situation URPM http proxy must be set because of the firewall. Maybe there is a bug in vendor perl module 'urpm.pm'?

At present it runs once daily, performing a full prelink every 14 days. (This is configurable for your system, you can make it do a full run every day.) (ii) prelink'ing all fail because libqt depends on libGL which requires PIC to be prelink. There is a way around that but this requires things to supported in our kernel yet.

Hope bugzilla becomes usable sometimes in future. - page size - DrakConf vs. drakconf => both get checked with the vote for this bug link=> results in 11() votes for this bug , same for bugzilla vs. BugZilla - after back and uncheck one of the entries i get an exception , another step back and click on the button finally saves the vote. This all results in 5 steps or the like for each bug (including that he asks me everytime for login). So i have 5 minutes to work on each bug. (including 2minutes for load the page, hopefully only once otherwise i would need maybe 10-15 minutes per bug) maybe use mod_gzip for the page containig all the packages ? lzs_comp saves me a lot of time if i can use it (once i have 9.2 installed) Steffen

ATi has just released new ATi drivers. 3.2.5 drivers have been packaged for 9.2 in the commercial rpms section, but 3.2.8 offer a lot of enhancements, and especially compatibility with kernel 2.6 and VIA KT400. Will they be packaged for 9.2 and put in the commercial downloads ? thanks Eric

[Cooker] setting most recently used menu
Somehow I lost the most recent programs used in the menu - kde 31 from cooker. I then tried to restore this, but I could not find it in the configuration of the desktop, which is the kde control center. Trying mcc, I could not execute mcc as a normal user, although it told me to just ignore getting root privilegies - it repetedly asked me to do that. (furthermore "keeping root passwd" does not work either, the root setting is still just ignored). I then went on to edit the system menu via menudrake, as root. But I could not find a place to add the most recently used programs to the menu. oI found out that I could enter menudrak for my normal user by right-clicking the kde start button, but still I could not find anything to add to my menu for the most recently programs. Then under right-click kde-start -> panel menu -> configure panel -> menues I finally found it, but it seems illogical to do it here. I noticed that the default was 0 entrances, I think it used to be 5. I have the problem in both my systems, and I am sure that I had a functioning "recent ..." menu in mdk 9.2 beta 2. So it looks like somewhere between 9.2ß2 and current cooker the default for the "recent" menu changed from 5 to 0. Also I then noticed in the kde control center that there was a looknfeel section with a panel editing posibility, but that did not include editing this item. I find it strange that the kde control module is not available from the kde control center. Best regards keld

Agreed! So why don't we present them to users as what they are? Why dont we offer two checkboxes that say OpenOffice.org and KOffice, rather then just "Office tools" and then, upon clicking on details, hundreds of packages with cryptic names which are rather unusable by themselves? > if you select gnome package then eog comes w/ it. as > for the others there > isn't one thing in that list that i would typically > use.

Linux is notorious for showing the system inside details in your face. Would you fly an airplane that has wires hanging all over the place, engines wide open, no compartment between pilots room and the rest etc? Well you might find it cool if you were an airplane mechanic. Most people are afraid of computers just as they are afraid of flying. That's why they need to feel perfectly safe and using a well rounded product. So Mandrake was the first that successfully hidden some details while maintaining functionality. Why not push it further? "Package" means nothing to a person that doesn't want to learn how their computer works, but "program" is fine. Note that I'm not requesting that RpmDrake should be killed. It should remain as an admins' tool. Also you still have urpmi and plain old rpm if you like. > Making a separate, keyboard and theme app only > introduces more bug reports unduly. They already exist. Keyboarddrake is used for selecting international keyboard layouts, you probably don't use it if you're from US or UK.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6056 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-09-10 09:09 --- With perl-URPM-0.94-6_91mdk and urpmi-4.4-38_91mdk URPMI works if environment http_proxy is set, but no urpmi proxy is set. Except I have problems if the name of update source is 'update_source' (as set by default). The problem is as follows: urpmi.addmedia update_source ftp://nanos/linux/distr/Mandrake/updates/9.1/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz added medium update_source examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 2 (x86) (cdrom2).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.International CD (x86) (cdrom3).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.updates.cz] retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "update_source"... ftp://nanos/linux/distr/Mandrake/updates/9.1/base/hdlist.cz found probed hdlist (or synthesis) as ../base/hdlist.cz ...retrieving done examining hdlist file [/var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.update_source.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.update_source.cz] unable to parse hdlist file of "update_source" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.update_source.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "update_source" unable to update medium "update_source" As you can see from the last two lines, there are some problems. But if the name of update source is other than 'update_source' (eg. 'updates'), then everything works fine. I wonder if that new packages will also be an official update? And one suggestion: To benefit from both internet and intranet it would be nice to have proxy setting (because of internet) and additional NO PROXY settings (because of intranet) to have both internet urpm sources and also urpm sources from internal network to work together. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- 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: NEEDINFO creation_date: description: "urpmi.update --update" takes a lot of time to work (cca. 5-10 minutes) if URMP has no proxy settings (file /etc/urpmi/proxy.cfg is empty), but there is environment 'http_proxy' variable set (file /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh has proxy definition).
