Java, RealPlayer, flash, Nvidia drivers/plugins etc are not open source
software, so one just cannot distribute them on freely available isos,
while Mandrakesoft can sign an agreement with their vendor to distribute
them in their distribution. And this is true for any Linux distribution.

- microphone is muted with no effect on things 
- kmix reports volume turned all the way up 
- "audio being output in one piece" means that there is no corruption to the audio 
that 
should be playing itself, albeit at reduced volume levels and behind a wall of white

let's be a bit clearer: 
 - the audio is being output in one piece 
 - the audio level is much reduced than it should be 
 - white noise covers the true audio making it nearly inaudible 
 
the instructions on

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. 
That would give really a safe impression to the user !

yes .. I also normaly use the commandline, but
sometimes I want to use rpmdrake because its easier to
select every package I want. And its  really annoying
allways to click : yes, I really want to install that
package. sometime I install something like 200
package, and it would be nice if then I could go out
.. .and when I come back, everything is installed.

[Cooker] Propositions for rpmdrake

2002-11-26 Thread daniel beck
 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 !

Yes, I can read mails, there is no matter for that. (I
deleted the Evolution directory). the matter is that
it downloads allways all mail from the mail server,
and thats really annoying, because I have something
like 200 mails :-/ . is that a mandrake packaging

I allways read my mail I got from the university, they
are stored on a pop-server, and I had no problem
before. I cliked on "let mail on server", because I
also got a mail programm at university, there want to
also keep  an archive of all my mails.
But I dont know why, evolution now allways downloads
*every* mails from the server, not only the unreads. I
delete the Evolution directoty, because I thought that
was a compability problem between new and old  config

[Cooker] nvidia driver + cooker

2002-06-09 Thread daniel beck

hi ! 
I use cooker with the standart kernel 2.18-19. I
wanted to install the driver from nvidia, but there is
no way installing the src.rpm. there is also no way
compiling the NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz.I always got :
"make install
  

You appear to be compiling the NVdriver kernel module
with 
a compiler different from the one that was used to
compile 
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but
there  
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour
and  
system crashes.

yes, why not ?? something like at www.mozillanews.org,
there peoples can vote how stable cooker is ... so
there is no work for mandrake  developper :-) . It
woul'd be nice, because a lot of people only use

[Cooker] Error Initializing NVdriver

2002-03-01 Thread Daniel Bright

I just updated to the cooker version of everything, including the
enterprise kernel,and now I am unable to start X with my nVidia
drivers.  I removed the old RPM's & rebuilt & installed new ones.  The
module NVdriver is loaded, but X says that it cannon initialize module

again mandrake 9.1, becaause my soundcard(es1371)
doesnt't work in beta 3.but in mandrake 8.1, I ve got
the same matter, and I've  to log on first as root,
kill gpm, an then logout and log as "normal" user.
I sent you my /etc/sysconfig/mouse, perhabs u better
know, what is happening.(BUT mouse works well under X,
my mouse is a microsoft intellimouse PS/2).
Oh, and my installation wen't well, there was no
problem, so I really don't know, why it behaves so :-(

under X everything is ok, but then moving the mouse in

I don't want buing a new card ! I want to know how to
make it working ! I know, that it doesnt also work
under suse 7.2 . I would be nice if it works under
mandrake. I think lot of people has this kind of card,
and I looked, there are lot of people with problem
with this card.But I think, there is a module missing
, or something, because I was not able to compile the
kernel to work woth it, I got this :

I don't know what to do more. first I thought the

it also doesn't work with sndconfig ... :-( . I really

[Cooker] my Ensonique 97 card

2002-02-01 Thread daniel beck

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 !

[Cooker] glibc-2.2.4-2mdk--memcpy reads from destination.

2001-09-04 Thread Daniel Kobras

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)

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.

I recommend getting whois from

http://www.linux.it/~md/software/whois_4.5.6.tar.gz

It will automatically grab the proper whois server

Works great !

Re: [Cooker] rebuilding the kernel rpm for a athlon based system...

2001-04-19 Thread Daniel McKee

I had to modify his directions, but i kinda got it to work...It's still
insisting on building a .i686 rpm not a .athlon RPM I figured out how to
force a .athlon RPM, but when I go to install it, I get "incompatable
architecture"... ??? I got a Socket A 1GHz Thunderbird, if that's not a
Athlon, I don't know what is...lol

Anyhow, can someone jump in and help [us] out?  Is Mandrake not Athlon savvy
yet or ?? Why is my system a i686 instead of a "Athlon"??? And, before
someone goes jumping my back about "its the same thing" go look in
/usr/src/RPM/RPMS and you'll see a "athlon" directory and a "i686"
directory... Why the Athlon directory then??  TIA

Re: [Cooker] network script has error

2001-04-12 Thread Daniel McKee

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...

Dunno what has changed since 13mdk, but i am having a few probs with

1) cannot compile progs that depend on headers from the kernel...I am
getting bizzare errors (version.h)...This is what happens when i try to

2) i had to copy the enterprise-i586.config to enterprise-i686.config...
If I can put in a request for the kernels to come with all the .configs
for the diff arch's to begin with, that would help...I duuno if just
coping the file is good enough (?)...

[Cooker] help: ext2 superblock disk problems

2001-04-08 Thread Daniel Woods

It appears I screwed up a LM7.1 campus production server
by trying to add a windows partition for backup purposes
with PowerQuest Drive Image 3.  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

2001-04-07 Thread Daniel McKee

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???

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)

[Cooker] Re: [Xpert]Why do fonts rendered with xfs look SO bad !?

2001-04-03 Thread Daniel T. Chen

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}.

Cheers,
dtc

It works, but if you change consoles (Alt+F1, etc) it "forgets" the
scroll buffer of the previous console.

I agree with all points tha Prana made. 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. People who have worked in government, universities,
or large corporate companies will understand the politics involved,
and how sometimes decisions move slowly. Yuch!

That´s a very good idea, but I was hoping to be able to download

Re: [Cooker] Red-Carpet

You´d better ask "What is Ximian´s position about Mandrake". I
can't get RedCarpet to install, Mandrake RPMs are delayed a month or so,
there are still no RPMs for Gnome 1.4 etc... Looks like they (Ximian)

Thanks! What is this `lib policy´? I have some vague idea, but
where can I find some documentation on it? I think the Mandrake site really

DON´T telnet is bad enough for users, and it´s unforgivable for

That't what I wanna know. Also, what about the packages I have

guess MandrakeUpdate won't be able to upgrade non-Mandrake packages...

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?

Disagree. 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.  First an administrator needs to put security
TCP wrappers in place, one service at a time.

You most likely have a binary program corrupted or file size 0.

This means you don't have the 'buffer' program installed. I got mine at
flexbackup's homepage:
http://members.home.com/flexbackup/buffer-1.19-1.i386.rpm
By the way, 'buffer' doesn't work with Mandrake's "secure" kernel.

[Cooker] sudo access to alias commands

2001-01-26 Thread Daniel Woods

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.

How about installing it and trying it out for yourself, and then you
can compare the differences for yourself.
It is always your choice as to which you want to use.

Re: [Cooker] Why no Official KDE 2.0.1 Update?

2000-12-07 Thread Daniel Tabuenca

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. How come all the other distributions have an
upgrade available and Mandrake doesn't?

[Cooker] Why no Official KDE 2.0.1 Update?

2000-12-06 Thread Daniel Tabuenca


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.

I got the 7.2 version of initscripts and updated my 7.1 system and it works.
I was then able to install xinetd-* and update wu-ftpd-*

Any real world examples beyond the man pages ?

[Cooker] xinetd problem in 7.2 ?

2000-11-22 Thread Daniel Woods

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.
When trying to install xinet*, I get ...
# rpm -ivh xinet*
error: failed dependencies:
/etc/init.d is needed by xinetd-2.1.8.9pre12-2mdk

Why is it looking for /etc/init.d instead of /etc/rc.d/init.d
on my LM7.1 system ?(I see nothing relevant in the changelog).

I am trying to install 'wu-ftpd-2.6.1-7mdk.i586.rpm' which depends on
error: failed dependencies:
xinetd   is needed by wu-ftpd-2.6.1-7mdk

Trying to install both at the same time still gives the /etc/init.d error
on my LM7.1 server.

Thanks... Dan.

[Cooker] Uplodaded syslog-ng

2000-11-21 Thread Daniel Serodio

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

Agreed. /etc/* is much cleaner than environment vars.

Is this a "secure" kernel? I record CDs with 2.2.17 (compiled myself)
with no problems, but when I installed Mandrake 7.1 and tried to restore
my tape backups with flexbackup, I couldn't. Flexbackup uses the
"buffer" program, and buffer doesn't work with the secure kernel. Maybe
the buffering for cdrecord works the same way?

[Cooker] Upgrading from 7.1

2000-11-20 Thread Daniel Serodio

I saw several instances of "upgrading from 7.2" on this list, but I'm
currently using 7.1, and want to upgrade some of the packages to cooker.
I tried to upgrade my X server, and I get these errors:

$ rpm -Uvh XFree86-glide-module-4.0.1-28mdk.i586.rpm \
XFree86-server-4.0.1-28mdk.i586.rpm

error: failed dependencies:

XFree86-glide-module-4.0.1-28mdk

Which packages do I need to upgrade? Thanks
