Actually, I need to file another bug on urpmi, I think --distrib isn't
working (even for a CD medium).
and now this. The list is just growing day by day.
That's natural.
BTW, the reason for the bootdisk not working is quite apparent, but I
don't know if there is any easy way to fix it:

- -rw-r--r--1 root root 1346493 Sep 13 07:07
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-9mdk
I am quite sure it affected 9.1 also in some configurations (like xfs on
root), due to a large initrd image.
IMHO, we shouldn't ever need a boot floppy after installation (if so,
there are more serious bugs to fix).
Of course, it would be nice to have it working by default, but Ron
always goes overboard on his small niggles in the first two weeks of a
release (he could have tested this in the beta series of course ...).

The problem with the current cloop module is that the behaviour is very eratic. Sometimes the iso will pass the bootup sequence and hand in the LiveCD under X, other times it hangs at bootup. Which points to the second issue - the created iso is meant to be booted from - from the local machine (without a reboot) something like VMWare is required which doesn't quite lead itself to automated tests.

Re: [Cooker] Setting BitTorrent up for upload only from unauth. IPs?
fredag 17. oktober 2003, 16:34, skrev Brad Felmey: I pulled my 3 CDs at work (which is actually slower than at home). I'd like to set up home to continuously run and share, but I don't know how to set this up. It's a different static IP, so the torrent file downloaded at work won't work. Any ideas? I'd like to share, just can't figure out how to do so. Seems easy to me, i've done like this(to share to others)(lets take it from the very start): 1. on mdk 9.1 installed BitTorrent 3.2.1 and gui 2. downloaded the isos using BitTorrent(BT) to emty directory(powerpack) on a disk that was not formatted during the later installation of mdk 9.2 3. installed 9.2 4. on mdk 9.2 installed BitTorrent 3.2.1 and gui 5. started download to the same directory(powerpack). 6. BT veryfied that the downloaded ISO files where ok(used some time for doing this) and started to upload without downloading again. Steinar :-)

As Verisign has done an plugin for MSIE I guess it's safe for Mandrake to implement this as well. I was thinking if there may be a Chinese/Japanese distro that has allready done work in this direction, maybe we could rip patches and stuff... (redflag?)

So there is no choice but to abandon beta testing for people without the bandwidth to download CD images. The CDs are constructed incomplete anyway because of space limitations, therefore not worthy objects to test.Stick with the trees, please. Huh?

[Cooker] [Bug 6138] [gnome-session] Unable to start gnome preference daemon
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6138 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What|Removed |Added Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution||FIXED --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-17-10 18:39 --- Upstream bug : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124707 Ok, I finally found what is exactly the problem : when using gdm with root_squashed NFS home (or when gdm decides to use a fallback directory), GDM set XAUTHORITY to a temporary file in /tmp. So, for initial login, you'll get XAUTHORITY=/tmp/gdm123456 in bonobo-activation-server environment.. If you run evolution in that session, evolution-wombat will stay in memory even after logout (due to shortcoming in Evo 1.4.x which will be fixed in Evo 2.0.x), so bonobo-activation-server stays in memory. When you login again with GDM, XAUTHORITY is re-set with a new value (let's say /tmp/gdm789123) but when gnome-session tries to start gnome-settings-daemon through b-a-s, it fails because b-a-s still have the old XAUTHORITY value and g-s-d is not authorized to connect to X server. To fix this, grab gdm-2.4.4.4-1mdk from http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~fcrozat/gdm/ and make sure to run bonobo-slay at least one time, to get all bonobo-activation-daemon to use XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.XAuthority -- 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: RESOLVED creation_date: description: I've got this problem severals times, sometimes it disappears magically, sometimes i have to delete all my gnome settings ( ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd, ~/.gnome ).

[Cooker] 9.2 disasters list (continuing)
Another 9.2 showstopper! Two days in, the use of 9.2 was totally stopped by a 100% full root directory, a situation which is essentially unrecoverable for all but super-experts. / is a 5GB partition which returned 7.2 GB to du -s / (probably due to the inclusion of /proc). Investigation of this partition from another 9.1 partition showed this to be caused by 103,900 files of the form /root/a word.n having beeen created by root in the /root directory, all of which were of zero length except two. The reserved-to-root space for recovery operations in / was also all consumed. I used 9.1 KDE from a booted 9.1 LM partition to delete them all from the 9.2 mounted partition. They were all deleted, but left KDE in a hung condition, which had to be killed with the read target icon. This condition also occurred from time to time in 9.1 but I found it undiagnosable, since whatever was reserving copious wads of space on / left no file directory entries, hidden or otherwise. -- Ron.

Svetoslav Slavtchev wrote: what does your 9.1 install tells for ls -l /boot/vmlinuz*` My 9.1 is my lowest numbered Linux partition, so it has the job of lilo-booting everything. I install a Linux to use its own partition as lilo boot manager. Since this approach neglects the requirement to also boot other linux partitions (serious oversight by the Mandrake installer, IMHO) I then have to laboriously copy the new lilo stanzas and all the necessary booting stuff to that partition, remove all the symbolic links, and call each component by its full name.That is why there are so many vmlinuzs and no symlinks (you will see I missed two g).
