And, so will Gentoo (who had the same issue on one of their releases and on their America's Army bootable game CD).

That's not absolutely the case. The Vesa driver supported my Radeon 9600 without acceleration, which is all you need to get a workable desktop, which is what we should be trying to provide at install as a minimum. There would be much less issue if problems were along the lines of "my games run slow", than "I get dumped at the command prompt after installation". For some reason, this guy says the Vesa driver doesn't work for him. He hasn't provided enough info to be able to figure out what's going on, and probably won't now. Could very likely be user error (I suspect it may be configuration of his monitor rather than his card that is failing), but we will probably never know now, because he was put off by the difficulty of it all. It might be annoying, but we need people like that, and we certainly don't need them telling stories about how lame Mandrake is. XFree86 doesn't support these cards yet AFAIK. You have to have the non-free ATI driver. Fedora won't ship it, and the drivers are: - -on the commercial CDs - -on the Club. Yes, I've pointed this out, and that it would be fairer to compare the Mandrake box-set with Windows, but you aren't going to get many people spending money on Mandrake box-sets or Club membership, if it gets a reputation for being hard to install or (in extremis) damaging hardware. This is ATIs problem, if they can't sort out their driver installation routine for non-free software. They are the ones providing bad support for their products. Most NVidia newbies don't have this problem. Agreed. It is frustrating that the only distro they support without having to compile modules (and therefore download the *&%^ing missing kernel-source) is RedHat. Can't Mandrake contact them and provide modules to bundle with their install package, the same way they have bundled RedHat modules? Presumably it would be in ATI's interests to make this work as easily as possible with as many distros as possible. There is currently nothing that can be done about this issue. Nothing. Unless you are volunteering to write a free software driver that supports these cards. As I say, Vesa works with at least some Radeon 9600 cards, so presumably there _is_ something that can be done about this. Steffen Barzus had his device replaced, no-one has reported *not* having their device replaced. Good news. It's unfortunate, but this would have happened to some distro (whoever merged packet writing first), since it's very unlikely the problem would have been found by people manaully patching packet writing into their kernel (the patch has been available and in use for a long time). True. Mandrake has always been bleeding-edge. But if it's risky installing it before more experienced users have had a chance to test it, what were Mandrake doing providing it for inclusion with a UK magazine before it had even gone on public release? I thought the idea this time was that the public download edition and box-sets would be delayed for a while, to give Club and Cooker members a chance to run it to spot and fix the most serious gremlins (and provide an incentive for people to join the Club). This pretty well undermines that. So, I guess no-one applies service patches etc (some of which cause bigger problems, such as XP SP1 messing up virtual memory management)? Exactly. And why do you think Windows has the reputation it does? It's a regular refrain of linux advocates that linux is more stable than Windows. Is this not a part of what they are referring to? I'm a long way from being a Windows advocate. I just don't think it helps for linux to suffer from the same problems as Windows. I want linux to be better than, not as good (or bad) as Windows. Well, the only additional issue you have mentioned (besides the LG issue) is totally out of our hands. No distro can currently support the latest Radeon cards without free software. So, users should either bite the bullet and install the ATI drivers manually, buy the release, or join the club and use the packages there (and hope they have been updated for the new kernel too). I gave you an example. I don't think it will help anyone for me to copy every problem on the forum to this list. The problems are many and varied, but they mostly resolve to either (a) "I couldn't complete installation", or (b) "I was dumped at a console when rebooting after installation". It's easy to belittle less experienced users' problems one by one, but if Mandrake wants to be seen as a user-friendly desktop OS, it has to cope with these problems. Maybe it's only a matter of not putting the new release out too early to the public in the way that they did, but if you've got a lot of people with problems like this, it's a sign that something is wrong.

[Cooker] OpenPBS / ScalablePBS?
Hi! We use OpenPBS in a cluster with Mandrake 9.0. I was going to update to 9.2, but I have found that: - OpenPBS depends on old tcl, tk and elf libraries. - There are ScalablePBS packages that don't have these problems, but: * What is ScalablePBS? The web page is still the same... * Does substitute OpenPBS? Anyway, OpenPBS should be recompiled against tcl, tk and elf libraries present in 9.2 or dropped from 9.2 contribs. Regards.

However this does not solve the menu issue. Which is the only ligitimate thing I have found. Having said that what about all the other things that mandrake does right. 1) This is the first time i have had autodetection of hardware work correctly on boot. Never ever has it worked correctly before. It would hang or not remove old hardware correctly or simply not set up the new hardware correctly. I added a new dvd burner after install and guess what it installed it more or less correctly and it was working perfectly. That did not work even with 9.1. Now I will admit I had to edit lilo a bit to get my original cd burner running in ide-scsi again but that was minor. and could be handled easily enough. 2) The networking now works better to use this as a firewall. The built in firewall scripts for 9.1 on every machine I tried on would simply not set it up correctly. On 9.2 it's better but not perfect yet. I do understand though that this has to do with the kernel handeling dma or irq differently and so multiple nic cards are not always detected properly. At any rate with 9.2 it works better. Now if I could just figure out why it has not worked with my macs since 8.2. There are quite a few other small things that I cant think of right now but all in all 9.2 is much better than anything previously. -- New and improved with advanced outlook crash handler. -~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~- Brook Humphrey Mobile PC Medic, 420 1st, Cheney, WA 99004, 509-235-9107 http://www.webmedic.net, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Holiness unto the Lord -~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-

An additional difficulty in this instance is that with the radeon 9600/9800 the chipset is correctly identified as 'radeon' but that driver does not work. When that test fails it would be prudent for XFdrake to then suggest the 'universal' vesa driver rather than assuming that the user would know what option to change. Also of note is that on my system, in 9.1, with a radeon 9600 when using the vesa driver the system was still useless unless I also used vga=normal.

And I think you can sell discs with a trademarked name (you can also sell an old TV on ebay, even if it has the trademark "Sony" stamped on it).

[Cooker] [Bug 6313] [rpm] conditional BuildRequires not picked up in query
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6313 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-11 16:40 --- OK, so the reason by that one BuildRequires wasn't included in the rpm headers was because the src.rpm package was built on Gwenole's amd64 system: gauss.mandrakesoft.com. It would be an option to install the src.rpm file and then run urpmi against the .spec file, also with the required options (--with plf) when required. Issue is, rpm can't determin the BuildRequires from a .spec file alone. -- 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: NEW creation_date: description: When a package has conditional BuildRequires (like ImageMagick) these are not picked up when querying the package: Normal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i586]$ rpm -qpR /mirrors/cooker/SRPMS/ImageMagick-5.5.7.12-1mdk.src.rpm | wc -l 15 --with plf: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i586]$ rpm -qpR /mirrors/cooker/SRPMS/ImageMagick-5.5.7.12-1mdk.src.rpm --with plf | wc -l 15 [EMAIL PROTECTED] i586]$ rpm --with plf -qpR /mirrors/cooker/SRPMS/ImageMagick-5.5.7.12-1mdk.src.rpm | wc -l 15 [EMAIL PROTECTED] i586]$ rpm -qpR --with plf /mirrors/cooker/SRPMS/ImageMagick-5.5.7.12-1mdk.src.rpm | wc -l 15 >From the ImageMagick.spec file: %if %build_plf %define enablelzw 1 %define enablejasper1 %define enablefpx 1 %endif %if %{enablefpx} BuildRequires: libfpx1-devel %endif %if %{enablejasper} BuildRequires: libjasper-devel %endif So, one would expect to see a number larger than 15 when queried with the --with plf option.

Could very likely be user error (I > suspect it may be configuration of his monitor rather than his card > that is failing), but we will probably never know now One thing which has seriously peeved me is that some of the newer cards come with a single VESA graphic mode, 800x600xI-think-24 at 60Hz, and if this doesn't suit your display (e.g. you have an inflexible 1024x768 flatscreen), tough bikkies. There are no combinations which work, you *must* have a native driver of some sort. Hurrah for the nv driver, for example, and hurrah for the crew who did/are doing a GPLed driver for their nForce LAN card. On similar lines, I polled XGI yesterday WRT data for building an Open driver for their new video cards. If they can bring themselves to do that, they'll get more of a leg-up in the market than they anticipated. Each manufacturer that does this is one we can use as a wedge against the others to worry them into keeping up with the pack. Cheers; Leon

Moreover, it was impossible to edit this menu (right click on the K button -> Edit Menu). Another consequence of this install was the changing of the Mandrake Install Software (rpmdrake) look. It changed from beautiful rounded buttons, on a nice gray background to squared buttons on an ugly gray background. It remembers me the first mandrake releases I installed (7.0). When removing xpat2, I found back my K menu, but not the good looking of rpmdrake.

[Cooker] [Bug 6320] [xboard] Cannot start xboard
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6320 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-10 23:26 --- Yup, but it's almost enough to grind my machine to a halt :-) The idea of the wrapper script is just to set $PATH correctly if it does not contain /usr/games. If you already have /usr/games in $PATH, you simply don't need the wrapper. Reporter, can you try later if xboard-4.2.6-7mdk fixes your problem (when launched via menu)? -- 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: NEW creation_date: description: The file /usr/bin/xboard is missing.

[Cooker] [Bug 5099] [kernel] The obsolete module DC2XX is loaded when connecting Kodak digital camera
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5099 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-10 23:41 --- There are more comments in the following two threads on MandrakeClub: http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Splatt_Forum&file=viewtopic&topic=6912&forum=13 http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Splatt_Forum&file=viewtopic&topic=13998&forum=11 -- 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: NEW creation_date: description: See the URL. If one connects a digital camera from Kodak, the DC2XX kernel module is loaded and this blocks the access via GPhoto2. One has always to "rmmod" the module manually to be able to access the camera and newbies do not know this and think their camera is not supported. The user who reported the problem in the MandrakeClub probably uses Mandrake 9.1, but it is possible that the bug still persists in 9.2. I cannot test as I do not have a Kodak camera and the problem does not appear with my Olympus C-3000Z and Canon Digital IXUS 400. If the bug is already fixed, simply mark it as fixed, if another package is responsable please change it.
Re: [Cooker] Danger: Magazine with 9.2 with problematic kernel

It selected Vesa for me straight off, but seems not to have suggested it to the guy who had the problem. Don't know why. BTW, you may have missed a lot of threads on cooker here where I have been advocating that all display managers (not just gdm) kick off XFdrake if X fails to start ... Didn't miss them. I agree with what you suggest, and thought this was a limitation of Mandrake that you would appreciate. True. Mandrake has always been bleeding-edge. Compared to say Redhat who ships with cvs snapshots of unstable versions of glibc (and then has to issue updates to glibc so users in large installations can see all users), and similar things? I wasn't really comparing it - what matters is whether users should view Mandrake as a safe bet or a risky install. It seems from everything that has been said that they should view it as the former. But if we are comparing, Mandrake's origins are as an "upgraded" version of RedHat that included packages that RedHat left out because of licensing quibbles (e.g. KDE). So I guess you could say that it always used to be reasonable to expect Mandrake to be a little more cutting edge than RedHat. Whether that's still the case is another matter But if it's risky installing it before more experienced users have had a chance to test it, what were Mandrake doing providing it for inclusion with a UK magazine before it had even gone on public release? Who said Mandrake provided it? The accompanying eight-page article in the magazine - for one. This includes the comment that the screenshots were from RC2 as Mandrake provided the final packages too late for the publishing schedule. I take it from this that Mandrake cooperated in their inclusion. After all, as the public ISOs were not available at the time that the magazine was being prepared, I doubt Future Publishing (publishers of Linux Format) would have taken the risk of nicking the finished item from Club without Mandrake's permission. But maybe someone from Mandrake would like to clarify this. And provides users who have already downloaded the ISOs (likely >85% of users) absolutely no incentive to pay Mandrakesoft, buy boxed sets, or join the club for no other reason but charity. Exactly. I understand the logic of the decision to hold back the public ISOs for a while. But I don't understand the logic of taking this decision, and then undermining it by including it on the cover of magazines before public release. Stability doesn't have that much to do with how many updates are available (IMHO). Don't you have to reboot every time you apply a service pack? That doesn't help your uptime. And didn't the virtual memory management issues you mentioned cause stability problems? Agreed, but you (and a lot of others) are concentrating on two hardware issues, and not seeing a lot of improvements in 9.2 (and the development process). 9.2 really is a substantially better release than 9.1, but no-one is prepared to tolerate even one hardware issue that affects them. For my uses, the principal improvement in 9.2 is the inclusion of OOo v1.1. And they had to be badgered into doing this. You are a much more high-powered user than most, so you are probably better able than most to see the improvements, and I don't doubt that they're there, but what lesser mortals wanted above all was a release with as few bugs as possible, and that was yet again not the focus. I think you are probably misjudging people's motives when they criticise the condition of 9.2 at release. I don't believe people are just trying to knock Mandrake. I expect most people want the best for Mandrake, the same as you. It's just that they are hoping to persuade Mandrake to change their priorities for the next release by pointing out how the current priorities (new features ahead of bug-fixing) cause problems. And, I have seen many complaints on forums about beta2/rc1/rc2, and many of the reporters didn't report their issues, so how should they be fixed? Of course, you have a valid point. But the volume of issues I have seen over the 9.2 final release is an order of magnitude greater than the issues reported to forums for the betas and release candidates. Simply because the final release is described as such and therefore seen as fit for public consumption. So it gets installed by a wider range of users, and those users don't expect the problems that one would naturally expect with betas. Did you test the beta release? Did you report that your card wasn't automatically configured to work? Did you report that the vesa driver worked? I tested to the extent that I had time available and hardware to spare. That wasn't as much as I would have liked, but I run my own company and work a >80-hour week, so opportunities were few and far between. I would have tested the 9600 earlier, but I didn't actually own it until v

[Cooker] Fresh install
Hello, Well, my cooker laptop decided to keel over due to a bad case of code-rot. Seems something I updated gave it indigestion... sooo.. I backed up everything important, and bombed the thing and did a cooker clean install. The install went pretty smoothly. There are a couple things that are still buggy, though. Seems that both the current kernel and the boot kernel have problems setting the video mode (ie, vga=791 in my case). Booting the vgahi image didn't help. Oddly enough, if I go either into Windows first, or into the BIOS setup screen, it then will set the mode correctly. Maybe an initialization problem? I installed the latest kernel, as well as the latest tmb kernel. The tmb one will boot, the stock one won't.. i'll e-mail a specific error message tomorrow when I'm more awake and can write it down. Odd thing, with the stock KDE installed, which includes Konqueror I would think, there's no entry in the menu for browse the web or for launching Konqueror as a browser. Is this normal? Sound worked OK until I loaded my backup desktop files, then it started with the soundserver error boxes about not being able to set real-time priority and running soundwrapper. Wonder what I broke? If installing KDE, and installing on a machine with a sound card, shouldn't kmix install by default? Default install has no workable mixer, had to find and individually select the package separately. More info in the AM... time for bed. V.
[Cooker] idea for MDK 10: rpm packages compatibility
One thing I would like to see for MDK 10: That RedHat, Fedora, SuSE and other rpm packages be installabla on MDK systems. I dont know what analyses is needed to do that, but it is probably something with compatibility libraries. Or maybe it is something to do about having packages follow LSB. Best regards keld
