Folks, I'm trying to fix bug #3381, which is a problem with some Palm/Clié/other PalmOS PDA which requires using /dev/usb/tts/0 instead of /dev/usb/tts/1 Currently, I only know of 3 problematic models : -Sony Clié N770C/E (Vendor=054c ProdID=0060) -Palm m130 (Vendor=0830 ProdID=0050) -Sony Clié 320 (Vendor=054c, ProdID unknown) So, if you have another PDA which requires this kind of changes, please, post it here, with Vendor and ProdID (check /proc/bus/usb/devices after pressing hotsync) If you have a PalmOS PDA which does NOT requires this but which is not correctly described in /usr/share/doc/pilot-link-0.11.8/README.usb (it doesn't have USBx info, it is missing for the list, etc..), please, post here too. I'd like to get the pilot-link up to date to be sure /dev/pilot is always symlinked to the correct usb serial devices. If you have a Palm Tungsten T3, I know they don't work yet but I plan to fix that as soon as I receive mine :)) (probably next week, replacing my Clié N770C/E).

It seems you have absolutely NO understanding of how mozilla is currently architecture, otherwise you wouldn't ask that.. Mozilla WON'T be libified until Mozilla folks released GRE (Gecko Runtime Engine) which will allow to clearly split Mozilla network (necko) and HTML engine (gecko) from Mozilla interface.. Until this is done and enabled in Mozilla code, you CAN'T libified it.. When GRE will be available, we will be able to split mozilla libraries (which are already somehow libified, for nspr and nss) from mozilla programs. -- Frederic Crozat MandrakeSoft

[Cooker] GNOME 2.5/2.6 and cooker
Hi folks, since cooker is re-opened again, I'd like to ask all people who have upload permissions to main cooker to NOT upload any GNOME 2.5/2.6 packages. Unfortunately, it seems GNOME 2.6 release schedule will collide with next distro release (this one is not yet final) so I won't be able to push GNOME 2.6 for Mdk 10.0. Since there is no easy way to handle two seperate branches of packages in cooker (and NO, I don't want to see foobar2.6 named packages in contrib, I keep 2.4.x packages in cooker. (Trust me, I'm not very happy about that :( I haven't yet decided if I'll push GTK+ 2.4 in cooker, but ATM, I won't push 2.3.0 since it is not yet stable and I don't see any new release of software using it.. I might work on a separate GNOME 2.6 repository on people.mandrakesoft.com (or klama) with Götz help but it is not yet sure.. Thanks for listening.. -- Frederic Crozat MandrakeSoft

Re: [Cooker] Boot-up speed
Just my 2 cents... since I switched to Linux with MDK8.2, I've always noticed the XFS daemon (X Font Server) and the DM daemon (Display Manager) are not started among the first services to be started. DM need XFS started before it can be launched. DM is the services that launch KDE and therefore the sooner it is started the sooner you will get KDE up.

[Cooker] LM9.2: What a nice release!
Hi I just wanted to tell you guys at Mandrake and all the contributors that you produced a very nice release indeed! I upgraded to a silver membership from my standard one on the day the ISOs were made available to the club members to be able to get the Powerpack Edition and I do not regret it one bit! In less than 24h I had both the Download Edition and the Powerpack Edition downloaded and ~4Gb were uploaded from my BitTorrent (so I'm about even here). My hardware is: 2 x P3 733MHz (Supermicro mobo) 512Mb Ram 3 x HD (2 are connected to a Promise Ultra100TX2) ~150Gb total SB Live! 1024 PCI card with 3 x USB2 ports and 2 x Firewire 400 ports Internal CD-RW (SCSI using an Adaptec 29140N) Internal Pioneer DVD-R106 (IDE) Internal Tape drive External USB Storage (6Gb HD) External Firewire enclosure (1 x 120Gb HD + 1 x 20Gb HD) iPod 30Gb Sony Digital Camera DSC-F505 Minor ennoyances (using Powerpack Edition): - during the installation, the windows for the individual package selection were unusually small (I had to use the right-left scrolling to see anything) This was not happening in RC2. - during the summary, same pbm. This was not happening in RC2. - during the services activation/deactivation, same pbm This was not happening in RC2. - during the disk partitioning (custom partitioning) the external USB storage was recognized as sda1, the firewire drives were recognized as sdb1, sdb2 and sdc1 Trying to assign mount points like /mnt/multimedia, the installer tried to mount /mnt/mnt/multimedia I reported the pbm in bugzilla for beta2 I believe. sdb1 was indicated as being FAT32 when it's EXT3... After changing the mount point to something the installer would accept the rest of the installation was pretty straight forward (except for the small windows pbm). - upon reboot the external devices caused some troubles as they could not be mounted and I was presented with the fsck option or Ctrl-D (kind of going circles here). This may be due to the fact that during the boot up sequence the firewire modules seem to be activated after the mounting sequence. The only solution was to somehow find a way to edit the fstab to remove the definitions for these drives... (I used another Linux installation to mount / and edit /etc/fstab) - Once in KDE I changed the fstab to include all my drives (hardcoded) without using the hotplug stuff (although I need to re-visit this area as it's still a mistery to me how it really works). - I've noticed that if my external USB storage is switched on during the boot up sequence, it sometimes appears on the SCSI bus before my hdc (with SCSI). It's kind of odd that an external device ends up registered before an internal device... and it causes pbm with the way the fstab is setup. - I had the menu disappearing pbm when doing software installation. This was repaired everytime by doing update-menus as root. The good: - well, thanks to urpmi, contrib and plf pretty much everything is setup and working well, audio, mp3, dvd playing, opengl (nvidia drivers), games (CivCTP, quake3, RTCW, Neverwinter Nights ** those are not available through urpmi, go buy them!), VMWare, iPod, VPN access to my company (with Cisco modules), etc... - Encoding CDs to MP3 while at the same time using VMWare, uploading MP3s to my iPod and transfering files from internal HD to external firewire HD did not cause any troubles at all. (I cannot say it was really fast, they're only old fashioned P3 after all but it was moving along rather nicely). It's too early to say it will stay stable in all conditions (plus I haven't tried everything yet) but I had a lot of pbms (crashes once a day at least) with LM9.1 and more recently Gentoo doing these things so right now I'm a very happy silver member. Thanks Mandrake (and contributors of course). -- ____ Frederic P.

[Cooker] 9.2 ISOs finalised or not?
Hi It may be some very dumb questions but I'd like to be enlightened ;) On Mandrake Club it says: "Mandrake 9.2 ISO images will be released in advance to Mandrake Club users, hopefully before October 15th, when all last tests will have been achieved." Are the 9.2 ISOs finalised already or not? Why hopefully? What are these last tests? Maybe I'm over analysing this statement.

No, it is not completely broken : your default background file is not present (mandrake_theme/mandrake_desk broken stuff) in /usr/share/mdk/backgrounds/default.png (it should be a symlink to the new background). In that case, gnome-panel defaults to "no transparency".. I know it should use default background color instead but it is a very little side-effect bug..

Yeah, I saw that but I don't think it is related to /dev/rtc.. tvtime is probably trying to nice itself to real-time, which is only permitted for root.

Then we should move Terminal menu entry from main menu to a subsection
(Applications is probably the best choice).
Moreover, for people not using GNOME/KDE default install (ie without
gnome-terminal/konsole installed), rxvt won't appear in menu, even if it
is available.. I think it is wrong, since our menu used to display all
available graphical applications installed on the system..
