oh, and an other nice feature for urpmi that would be (rember the libpng2 to libpng3 transition) . Every time i install a new rpm, all the files which are overwritten are stored in /var/cache/urpmi/temp or something like that. so I could do so : there is already A2.0 urpmi --safe A2.1.rpm urpmi overwrites some files from A2.0 but store them in /var/cache/urpmi/temp the programm A2.1 brings everyting so I want to have my old configuration again. so I do : urpmi --recover and everything is just like befor the update of A2.0.

[Cooker] Propositions for rpmdrake
rpmdrake and urpmi is really a nice add value. Its allmost the main raison, why I use mandrake . There are a few things, I thing, that could be nice to implement - something like : silence donwload and install. A lot of people use cooker, I remember a poll on mandrake forum where something like 40 % from the people use cooker. So, everytime, I update my system, but it takes all memory and brandwith , and I can do nothing else :-/ . Could also be nice to update the system with a deamon. Was just a little idea - the pop pups from rpmdrake are after all not *so* bad, and they are in fact easy to understand. but, then downloading softare from plf, there are allways lots of poppups, and I must stay in front of the monitor, and allway click : yes, I want to install (I know, its because I didn't downloaded the key...). But would be nice to have a : " yes for all" button. - then I update software from cooker, and one package failed, I have to start all again. Ok, its nice that the package are stored in /var/cache, but it would be even nicer if, then i download 2 softare A and B, and the download from software A fails, Software B has nothing to do with A (no dependencies), that urpmi installs Software A - I want to be able to acces with urpmi mirrors, which are protected with username/passwort (or does that already work?) ook, bye ! daniel __ Gesendet von Yahoo!

This may be perfectly fine, but there are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and system crashes.

[Cooker] mouse under virtual console
I've got an PS/2 intellimouse, and since mandrake8.1, and also in 8.2 beta1 and beta2, it doesnt work in the wirtual console. under X everything is ok, but then moving the mouse in the virtual console, it doesn't at all act as I want it :-( would be nice to fix it. perhaps someone know, how I can change it (configuring gpm I think ...) thanks ! daniel __ Gesendet von Yahoo!

[Cooker] my Ensonique 97 card
Hi ! I downloaded the new mandrake 8.2 beta , and everyting (CD-Burner, T-DSL connection,Zip-drive...) worked well for me, without my soundcard. I've got a Ensonique 97 based card. Mandake detected the card, but It doesn't work. So I tried to compile the kernel my self, and I got this : drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o: In function `es1371_probe': drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o(.text+0x5ec6): undefined reference to `gameport_register_port' drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o: In function `es1371_remove': drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o(.text+0x5fda): undefined reference to `gameport_unregister_port' make[1]: *** [kallsyms] Fehler 1 make[1]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses Verzeichnis »/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-10mdk« make: *** [vmlinux] Fehler 2 So I don't know what is the matter, I tried everything. The sound card worked on Mandrake 8.1, but you couldn't hear it : I had always to us kmixer (at EVERY start) of kde, to fix it. after I found, that using aumix fix this problem. but It would be nice to set the volume (so as in suse) at the installation. Or u have to set the volume from Ensonique cards higher . :-) I know my english is bad ! and im a newbie! so don't be to strong ! mfG Daniel * Universität des Saarlandes Lehrstuhl Pr.

[Cooker] glibc-2.2.4-2mdk--memcpy reads from destination.
Moi! I'm one of the upstream developers of the audio editor glame. We've received bug reports from a Mandrake user indicating segfaults in code that looks completely sane and works fine on other distributions. Now, we believe we've tracked it down to the libc Mandrake uses, specifically the version of memcpy: Dump of assembler code for function memcpy: 0x888e0 : push %edi 0x888e1 : push %esi 0x888e2 : mov0xc(%esp,1),%edi 0x888e6 : mov0x10(%esp,1),%esi 0x888ea :mov0x14(%esp,1),%ecx src is in esi, dest in edi. ecx contains the length. 0x888ee :mov%edi,%eax 0x888f0 :cld 0x888f1 :cmp$0x20,%ecx 0x888f4 :jbe0x8894c 0x888f6 :neg%eax 0x888f8 :and$0x3,%eax 0x888fb :sub%eax,%ecx 0x888fd :xchg %eax,%ecx 0x888fe :repz movsb %ds:(%esi),%es:(%edi) 0x88900 :mov%eax,%ecx 0x88902 :sub$0x20,%ecx 0x88905 :js 0x88945 0x88907 :mov(%edi),%eax 0x88909 :mov0x1c(%edi),%edx is where our user hits the segfaults. Indeed these two mov instructions look bogus. They read from the destination address, which will obviously bomb out if you memcpy to a region that's mmap()ed PROT_WRITE-only (as glame does quite often). 0x8890c :sub$0x20,%ecx 0x8890f :mov(%esi),%eax 0x88911 :mov0x4(%esi),%edx Here the results of the reads above are discarded. If there are side-effects that might qualify as valid optimisations, I fail to see them. To me, it looks much more like a bug in Mandrake's libc. 0x88914 :mov%eax,(%edi) 0x88916 :mov%edx,0x4(%edi) 0x88919 :mov0x8(%esi),%eax 0x8891c :mov0xc(%esi),%edx 0x8891f :mov%eax,0x8(%edi) 0x88922 :mov%edx,0xc(%edi) 0x88925 :mov0x10(%esi),%eax 0x88928 :mov0x14(%esi),%edx 0x8892b :mov%eax,0x10(%edi) 0x8892e :mov%edx,0x14(%edi) 0x88931 :mov0x18(%esi),%eax 0x88934 :mov0x1c(%esi),%edx 0x88937 :mov%eax,0x18(%edi) 0x8893a :mov%edx,0x1c(%edi) 0x8893d :lea0x20(%esi),%esi 0x88940 :lea0x20(%edi),%edi 0x88943 :jns0x88909 0x88945 : add$0x20,%ecx 0x88948 : mov0xc(%esp,1),%eax 0x8894c : repz movsb %ds:(%esi),%es:(%edi) 0x8894e : pop%esi 0x8894f : pop%edi 0x88950 : ret 0x88951 : jmp0x88960 Comments?

Not just that, but from a security point of view, the less stuff installed, the less chance of being r00ted. After all, if a vulnerability is later found in a package you don't even use, a local or remote exploit won't make you a happy camper. However, a reported vulnerability for a package you do NOT have installed can simply be ignored by you. Thanks... Dan.

Re: [Cooker] network script has error
I also had the same error... It had to do with the network, not mount. (-e invalid option). What I had to do to fix it, was to manually go into my /etc/init.d/network and search for the "-e" and change it to a "-n". Now I don't get that annoying error when it says "starting network". One of the upgrades of initscripts or sysctl (which is what the real error is coming from, the network init.d script is calling "sysctl -e -p ...blahblahblah", you have to change it to"sysctl -n -p blahblahblah") changed the sysctl command, but didn't update the script, so it would give a constant error on bootup Hope this helps...

At first I created ok at the end of the disk, and DI3 saw that but would not write the image file (of Linux partitions) to that C: drive. I copied the contents of /dev/hda6 (/var) and /dev/hda7 (var/lib) to a scratch partition (/dev/hda10). Then I used a win98 bootup disk, and Partition Magic 5 to delete those partitions as a merged FAT32 partition. When I tried to reboot, it complained about a kernel panic with no init= set, and suggested passing it to Grub/Lilo. I am able to win98 boot into it, however even the LM7.1 bootup disk did not work (same error as regular bootup). I booted up with Tom's Root Boot disk, and I can mount the windows partition, but none of the Linux ones. I tried to mount the /boot partition with... # mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt EXT2-fs: 03:0a: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features. mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1 or too many mounted filesystems. I then tried... # e2fsck /dev/hda1 Filesystem has unsupported features. The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct superblock. Try using a different superblock size such as:[-b 8193] Still no luck. Ok, so using PM5 after I initially created the partitions with 'fdisk' was not a smart move (in hindsight), but how do I fix that now ? Is there another utility that could help ? Other suggestions ? Thanks... Dan.

[Cooker] Compiling kernel-2.4.3-8mdk.src.rpm on a Athlon Tbird
Hi all, got a stupid question... When I try to do a "rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.3-8mdk.src.rpm" on my cooker system, i get a "config.i686" not found error, and sure enough there is a "config.i586" file in the sources directory (after the src rpm unpacks to compile), but no other config files How do I get it to compile without doing a "cp config.i586 config.i686" and tweaking some of the options (including the i686=y)... Also, isn't there a "Athlon" arch option? or is it just i686??? I see athlon listed in the makeconfig for the normal sources to the kernel How do I compile a Athlon optimized kernel from src rpm???

How about all > those other things? I've never tried SuSE, but I've used Slackware and RedHat for a long time. These are my favourite things about Mandrake: Security - it's got a secure default installation, and they issue security advisories (and the associated update) very often, more often than, say, RedHat. A "minor" feature but one that I like a lot is that it ships with postfix (of course, you can install postfix on any distro). Hardware support - it's the distro that recognizes most hardware. Easy installation - despite its bugs, the installer is the best I've seen. Good luck on your advocating! (I'm also trying to convince my boss to replace RH with Mandrake) -- []'s|.~.

[Cooker] Re: [Xpert]Why do fonts rendered with xfs look SO bad !?
It may not be as much an issue with xfs as it is an issue with the configuration associated with it. I use xfs-xtt (w/ Debian). Rumor has it that xfs-xtt works much better, but I haven't been able to notice a difference other than it doesn't crash while xfs did (could have been a libc6 issue on this end, tho'). http://x-tt.dsl.gr.jp/ Make sure you're specifying TrueType fonts first in the `catalogue =' section of the config file. Also, you may need to remake your fonts.{dir,scale,alias}.

Services should only be started when they are PROPERLY and SECURELY configured. Let the user decide when that is, not the OS. I still especially suggest that an expert install means that we want the above before *we* are ready to let users use the service. Experts know hoe to start the services they want, let us do it. Just because we install a service, does not mean we are immediately ready to run it.

[Cooker] How do I upgrade to cooker?
I'd like to upgrade to cooker (I'm currently using 7.2 + updates), but I suspect 'rpm -Fvh *' won't do it, since it didn't work for upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2 . How can I upgrade to cooker without going thru the installation program (which is a real pain)? Thanks. -- []'s |.~.

[Cooker] gnome-vfs-devel
Can someone tell me why we have gnome-vfs-0.6.2-1mdk.i586.rpm in cooker but not the corresponding -devel RPM? I need the devel package to compile galeon (it's wonderful, should be included in the distro). Also, if I try to compile it from sources, it complains about some packages which I have installed, but with a different name. e.g.: libaudiofile-devel vs. audiofile-devel and libesound-devel vs. esound-devel. What's the reason for this inconsistency? -- []'s| .~. Daniel Serodio (lobo on irc)|/V\www.linux.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] | // \\ www.gnu.org | /( )\ www.gnome.org | ^`~'^

Yes, these can be part of the installation, but absolutely do NOT turn on the services which are for remote access, like nfs, smb, httpd, ypserv, mysql, named, ... People installing servers are more knowledgeable about Unix/Linux, and they (like me) will turn them on when ready.

[Cooker] sudo access to alias commands
In my .bashrc (or .aliases) for root, I have aliases and functions defined (instead of creating scripts). I am trying to figure out how my regular user account can access such an alias command as if I was logged into root. I want to use sudo so that the password prompt is only asked the first time. Trying: sudo "banned 11.22.33.44" returns saying that 'banned' is not a known command. Although it is actually an alias for an ipchains rule. I tried: sudo sh -c "banned 11.22.33.44" and such variations, but still the same problem. Effectively I would like the sudo command to act like the '-' in "su -" when su'ing to root (and loads up the aliases). Any ideas how to do this ? Any other suggestions ? Thanks... Dan.

Re: [Cooker] Why no Official KDE 2.0.1 Update?
How hard can this be? If I got to the KDE site I find that Caldera has rpms for it. Redhat has RPMS for both Redhat 6.x and 7.0. SuSe has for like everything including their SPARC version. The Mandrake has a stupid readme saying that cooker has a better version. Well, that's great and totally useless. Cooker is not stable and cooker is completely incompatible with 7.2.

Is there an official set of RPMS for upgrading to KDE 2.0.1. This is a BUG FIX release so I think it is important that current users of Mandrake 7.2 be able to upgrade perhaps even with the mandrake update facility. -- ++ You have been infected with the Linux Virus!

I would like to find out more about xinetd, any docs besides man pages ? I got xinetd-2.1.8.9pre12-2mdk.i586.rpm from current 7.2 version.

[Cooker] Uplodaded syslog-ng
Well, it's me again. I just uploaded syslog-ng to /incoming. syslog-ng is a replacement for the "classic" syslog, and is much more configurable. You can use regexes to sort the logs (very useful to log ipchains messages to a separate file, for example), plus a lot of ther stuff. In fact, I'd even like to suggest that it becomes the default syslog daemon for Mandrake. Anyway, I uploaded libol-0.2.20-1mdk.src.rpm, which is required to _build_, but not run, syslog-ng-1.4.8-1mdk.src.rpm. If you get the source package, you'll need libol too, but if you get the binary you don't. I did my best to make this RPM work exactly as the default Mandrake syslog. The config files are based on the latest syslog RPM I found, which is sysklogd-4.4-1mdk. Hope you all like it. Should I announce uploads somewhere else, or is this the correct list? I don't see many annoucements of this kind here... Files: libol-0.2.20-1mdk.src.rpm syslog-ng-1.4.8-1mdk.src.rpm BTW, I forgot to send my GPG key last time.
