[Cooker] [Bug 5991] [drakxtools] Drakconnect sets something wrong, kde slow opening windows.
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5991 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-06-10 22:35 --- Thierry, this boils down to the question of how should one assign the host name to a machine that's on a dhcp on a private network, and still manage to avoid the slowdown in KDE. Of course, just like in bug 4227, initscripts/drakconnect set the host name to be the same as the host-name field provided in the lease, but the difference is that in this case we can't solve the problem by doing a reverse lookup on the IP. fixed-address 192.168.1.33; option host-name "dhcppc0"; My recommendation is that this bug be reopened and that drakconnect get the functionality that is needed to solve this problem. This problem may potentially affect all users that are behind a router that has a DHCP server inside of it. -- 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: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Hello. I have a router and I use drakconnect to set up my adsl connection with dhcp. THE PROBLEM: Drakconnect apparently sets up something wrong, since kde windows take about 5 seconds to open, and gnome complains that /etc/hosts is wrong. On the other hand, if I choose a static ip assignment and manual DNS assignment (as opposed to dhcp), windows open instantly. The difference is huge. POSSIBLE REASONS: I'm no expert, but I am going to report what others told me. :-) 1) Some kde developer told me it must be a problem not in dhcp, but in dns. unfortunately, drakconnect doesn't allow me to specify dns if I choose dhcp. 2) Someone else told me that the hostname does not resolve because the /etc/hosts file produced by drakconnect is broken, and I should manually specify a fully qualified hostname in /etc/hosts, together with dhcp. He told me that dhcp allows the hostname to be specified OR assigned automatically. But it seems to me that drakconnect does not allow a hostname to be specified with dhcp. Maybe this is the problem. I hope I' ve been of help. cheers!

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5991 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-06-10 18:10 --- Thierry, I am not convinced this is an invalid bug. The description looks a little bit like http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4227 In bug 4227, I show that despite what Damien claims, it's not sufficient to have NEEDHOSTNAME=yes to get a hostname through reverse IP lookup. The option assign/do not assign host name should be split into 3 options: 1) Assign host name from a lookup of the assigned DHCP address. 2) Assign host name to be the host name provided in the DHCP lease 2.1) use 1) if the DHCP lease does not provide a host name. 2.2) Do not set host name if the DHCP lease does not provide a host name. 3) Do not modify host name. To the original bug submitter: Can you please provide output of the following 3 commands: ls -l /var/lib/dhcp/dhc*leases cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhc*leases hostname This would suffice for me to see whether this is indeed a duplicate of bug 4227 or not. -- 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: Hello.

[Cooker] [Bug 4227] [drakxtools] hostname from IP lookup missing
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4227
--- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-21-09 01:39 ---
Damien: I did a simple trace on ifup-post and I found out why it does not
perform a reverse lookup for my hostname.
- beginning of segment from ifup-post --
if [ "$2" = "boot" -a \
"${DEVICE}" != lo -a \
"${DEVICETYPE}" != "ppp" -a \
"${DEVICETYPE}" != "slip" ]; then
if need_hostname; then
IPADDR=`LANG= LC_ALL= ifconfig ${DEVICE} | grep 'inet addr' |
awk -F: '{ print $2 } ' | awk '{ print $1 }'`
eval `/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname ${IPADDR}`
if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
set_hostname $HOSTNAME
fi
fi
fi
- end of segment from ifup-post --
If you look at the function need_hostname, found in network-functions, then it
is very simple
- beginning of segment from network-functions --
need_hostname ()
{
CHECK_HOSTNAME=`hostname`
if [ "$CHECK_HOSTNAME" = "(none)" -o "$CHECK_HOSTNAME" = "localhost" -o \
"$CHECK_HOSTNAME" = "localhost.localdomain" ]; then
return 0
else
return 1
fi
}
- end of segment from network-functions --
Therefore, it is no wonder that ifup-post does not reset the hostname, because
the need_hostname function only checks to see that one has a hostname and does
not check to see if it is a valid one. When need_hostname is called, I have
already received the faulty hostname so need_hostname returns 1.

drakxtools-newt-9.2-0.18mdk
Here is a feature that I sorely miss and would have to be added to drakconnect
and, I presume, initscripts as well.
My home computer gets a dhcp address from a cable modem. The IP address I get is
a valid address, but the hostname that the dhcp server inside the cable modem
gives me is not. An example would be:
IP address: 24.241.233.100
hostname: dhcp-100
What I would like is an option that sets the hostname as the reverse lookup for
the IP address that I have been allotted.
In this case, the command
host 24.241.233.100 gives me the address:
c24.241.233.100.jvl.wi.charter.com and that's what I want as my hostname.
Let me be clear about this: The solution may consist of switching dhcp clients
or editing some init files, but I really want this to be done in an easy manner
through the GUI in drakconnect.

[Cooker] OOo locks up with kinput2
I reinstalled cooker tonight and found out that some changes cause OpenOffice.org not to work with kinput2. Since the OOo rpm hasn't been updated for quite a while, and OOo could well be used with kinput2 the last time I checked (2-3 weeks ago?), I am guessing that this is because of a change in XFree86. The scenario is: I created a new user, logged in as that user, ran localedrake to switch to Japanese, logged out and back in again. Ran ooffice, switched the font to Kochi Gothic, hit shift-space to activate the input method editor (kinput2). As soon as I hit shift-space, OOo locked hard, stopped responding to any mouse or keyboard input and stopped refreshing its window. During this beta cycle, I have previously verified OOo to work with kinput2 at least twice, and the rpm for OOo has not been not been changed since April. # rpm -qa | egrep 'XFree|OpenOffice' OpenOffice.org-1.0.3-2mdk OpenOffice.org-l10n-ja-1.0.3-2mdk OpenOffice.org-help-ja-1.0.3-2mdk XFree86-server-4.3-19mdk XFree86-xfs-4.3-19mdk XFree86-4.3-19mdk OpenOffice.org-libs-1.0.3-2mdk OpenOffice.org-l10n-en-1.0.3-2mdk XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3-19mdk OpenOffice.org-help-en-1.0.3-2mdk Narfi

Ah! That's a good reason. I agree with Danny that "hackkernel" is a bad, bad name! The kernels that you guys provide are as solid as they get :-) Thanks for your hard work, Narfi.

On the topic of the update kernel and the kernel that Danny maintains, also applies to the modified update kernel from Thomas. Would you guys consider giving your kernels different names, just so that we don't have to ask confused users "Which version of 2.4.21.0.18 are you using? The security update one, Thomas' one or Danny's?" Thomas, at some point you used TmB for your kernel, was there something you didn't like about that? Danny, could you do something similar? Btw. I love your kernel versions, I think you are both doing an incredible job with the kernel. Thank you both. I just don't want other users to get confused. Best, Narfi.

I have been wanting this for a while now and it's in the wiki: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/DrakxTools#usb_firewire_setup and I have also filed a bug about the creation/removal of /dev entries: https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1191 I believe that one way to achieve what you ask for is to use devlabel. However, it relies on devfs not running [i.e. /proc/partitions contains /dev/sda1, ...] so it would need more development. What devlabel does is it looks at the device that just got connected, say /dev/sda1, and checks its SCSI ID and its partition ID. Then it performs a lookup in its configuration file, which basically consists of: If it finds a matching drive ID in its configuration file, it would link to /dev/sda1 and use the permissions given in the config file. If it finds in /etc/fstab and allows, it would mount . Pretty neat stuff if you ask me. Narfi.

My trivial experiment shows 2 things: 1) It pays off bigtime to allow mjpegtools to use the MMX instruction set. 2) We only get a minimal benefit from compiling for athlon instead of i586. When the discussion of mjpegtools started, some people wanted local recompilations but these numbers to not support that idea. They do, however, strongly support the idea of building and distributing mjpegtools with and without the MMX instructions. [The former is in order to get the performance benefit, the latter in order to follow the Mandrake architecture policy] If you can help Austin in any way to set that up, we would all be very grateful. So far, Austin has only received vague instructions and ridicule despite his best attempts at asking polite and constructive questions. Narfi.

Does it work on a floppy-less PC? I don't have a floppy drive. Thanks to Buchan for showing me this. I simplified his lilo.conf stanzas somewhat.

You will need to know what partition stores your cooker mirror and the path to your cooker/i586/ directory, relative to that partition. This is a very way to install Mandrake :-) Narfi.

I believe that Steffen is right that mjpegtools was compiled without MMX in the 9.0 rpms. When I compile for i586 and athlon side by side and I enable MMX for both, I only get a maximum of 10-15% speed difference. The difference in with/without MMX is of course huge :-) >> 12. More automated lm_sensors installation. > Some thoughts from me: > 13. (or 12a ;)) Make dialup for user more easy. I don't like SuSE but their > kinternet is a good example how it should be done. My additions to your list follow. In summary, I add: 14. Configurable usb/firewire hotplug. 15. Remove super-user icons and menu items from user accounts that don't need them. 16. Create the Mandrake Personal Configuration Center. 14. Configurable usb/firewire hotplug. We can't expect to let the hotplug always do the right thing for all users and we will always miss some device IDs in our lists. Therefore, I would like the hotplug actions to be configurable. I have 4 USB drives, all of which are detected. - 1 is setup correctly. - 1 is mounted incorrectly [incorrect fs type]. - 2 are not mounted. I would like to be able to specify the actions when these drives are connected to the usb port - confirm that this is a usb-storage device - what partitions to mount and their mountpoints - file system type(s) - applications to launch, e.g. konqueror. - whether to show an icon on the desktop or not. and I would like these settings to be saved in my user account and used the next time I connect a drive with that ID anywhere on the usb bus. Same for firewire. When a DV camcorder is connected, a program should be launched (e.g. kino), and this should be user configurable. The 1394 mailing list has just started discussing the changes necessary for the super-user to decide these actions. In all cases, I want the super-user to be able to specify and modify the default actions when devices are connected to the usb/firewire ports and the non-privileged users to be able to modify that setup according to their own wishes. 15. Remove super-user icons and menu items from user accounts that don't need them. Do your spouses/kids ever run MCC? Do they have the root password? If not, then why do they get the icon for the MCC on the task bar, menu items for konsole in super-user mode, etc? When I install Mandrake, I want to be able to check a box when I create new users that says something like: - Should this user account have icons and menu items for program requiring the super-user passwords? Yes/No This way, my other family members don't get unnecessarily confused by extra icons and menu items that they can't even use because they don't have the root password! 16. Create the Mandrake Personal Configuration Center. Good old MCC is a great collection of configuration tools for the super user. It shows off the good tools that Mandrake has created. However, we are missing such a collection of configuration tools for the non-privileged user. - screen resolution for the user account - picture in kdm/mdkkdm - menus - fonts [go into ~/.fonts] - drakcronat - samba setup for the user account - localedrake - draksync - first time wizard - usb/firewire setup as explained in item 14 - remove/insert super-user menu items and icons as explained in item 15 Basically, we need to group together all the Mdk tools that can be run in a meaningful manner to setup the user accounts. Furthermore, when they are run from the Personal Configuration Center, they should not prompt for the root password. Narfi.

[Cooker] Japanese characters not displayed in gimp and other packages
Pablo and others: I have observed that The Gimp does not display the Japanese messages properly in the default Japanese setup in Mandrake. This is on an up to date cooker. Furthermore, with the ~/.i18n as given by localedrake, the former of the 2 commands fails to display the messages correctly, whereas the latter displays them successfully: LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 && gimp LC_CTYPE=ja && gimp These observations apply to - gimp - gnucash - gnumeric - gnome-spell-properties-capplet - gabber - gaddr - From gnome-pim: -- gnomecal -- gnomecard - From gnome-network: -- gtalk -- gnome-ppp -- gnome-sync Some of these programs gave a warning similar to the following: The font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" does not support all the required character sets for the current locale "ja_JP.UTF-8" (Missing character set "JISX0208.1983-0") (Missing character set "JISX0201.1976-0") when I tried to run them with LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8. I tried a bunch of other gnome-* programs and they all displayed their messages correctly under ja_JP.UTF-8. I will state the obvious and say that - gimp - gnucash - gnumeric are the most important ones of these applications to correct since they are widely used and hard to replace by other programs. Of course I can open a bug for each of these packages, but that might be a overkill. Please reply to cooker if you plan on looking at some/all of these. Otherwise, I'll have to open bugs ...

--- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-25 18:31 ---
Pablo,
I actually think that it would be a much bigger gain to get the printing system
working than to fix wadalab/watanabe as an on-screen font. If you want to remove
those fonts from the distribution, that's fine. I think that the printing setup
is so much more complicated than the screen-font setup that users can install
screen fonts that they like afterwards, but it would be very hard for them to
change the print setup.
Currently, I can generate postscript files in Mozilla, they look correct in gv,
but the printout fails.
PostScript files that I generate in KDE programs cannot be printed out and
cannot be previewed in gv.
I can print out Japanese text from OpenOffice.org for the reasons given below.
Mozilla has font settings for printing out Japanese text: [in unix.js]
pref("print.postscript.nativefont.ja", "Ryumin-Light-EUC-H");
In the PostScript file generate by mozilla, I see:
/ja_ls {
/NativeFont /Ryumin-Light-EUC-H def
/UCS2Font /Courier def
/Unicode2NativeDict Unicode2NativeDictja def
/unicodeshow1 { real_unicodeshow } bind def
/unicodeshow2 { real_unicodeshow_native } bind def
} bind de
but I don't know why the preview would be successful, but the printing would
fail. Is Courier set as a fall-back font or as a unicode font?
In the printouts from KDE programs [I tried kwrite and konqueror], it looks like
the fonts are hardcoded:
%%DocumentFonts: Helvetica LuxiSans
I see plentiful mentioning of Luxi and Helvetica in the PostScript file, but
none of the Japanese fonts. This would explain why the preview as well as the
printing fail so miserably.
OpenOffice.org, on the other hand, tries very hard to let the printouts look the
same as the on-screen versions and the printout fonts are therefore the same as
the on-screen fonts. Ergo: If you can view it on the screen, you can print it
out :-)

[Cooker] [Bug 1680] [drakxtools] cannot remove individual fonts
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1680 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-21 17:54 --- I realized how to [possibly] do this: press the "advanced button", press "add" and add the fonts you want to remove, then press "remove selected" [I didn't test this, though]. However, I find this an unintuitive way of removing fonts and I think the way to proceed in the 9.0 version of drakfont is much easier: When the user presses "uninstall fonts", allow him to browse the font directories, select individual fonts and to remove them. I am quite curious as to what were the arguments for not allowing the users to remove individual fonts this way, but to only allow removing entire directories. --- 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: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Currently, drakfont only allows one to delete entire directories from the font path.

However, the /dev/sda entry still remained. I then tried to run diskdrake, and it obviously believed that the device formerly connected to /dev/sda still was connected as it asked me: "I can't read the partition table of device sda, it's too corrupted for me :( I can try to go on, erasing over bad partitions (ALL DATA will be lost!).

Look at int QApplication::x11ProcessEvent( XEvent* event ) in src/kernel/qapplication_x11.cpp I am looking at this function in qt-x11-free-3.1.1 and qt-x11-free-3.1.2-snapshot-20030218 In 3.1.1, the function starts with a switch statement and right after that comes if ( qt_x11EventFilter(event) ) // send through app filter return 1; [lines 3057-3058] In 3.1.2-snapshot-20030218, the function starts with the same switch statement, however the statement if (qt_x11EventFilter(event)) return 1; has been moved. It is now below the block marked #ifndef QT_NO_XIM #endif // QT_NO_XIM [The QT_NO_XIM block is in lines 3154-3216, qt_x11EventFilter(event) is now in lines 3221-3222] In short: I believe the patch has been applied and that bug #1097 should not be closed without applying this patch or upgrading to 3.1.2 Narfi.
[Cooker] [Bug 1706] [libqt3] Please move qtconfig from libqt3-devel into libqt3 [or libqt3-common]
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1706 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-16 21:13 --- A correction to "A user program does not belong in libqt3-devel since the package depends on mysql and a bunch of other packages". libqt3-devel does not depend on mysql anymore and installed for me without the need for any dependencies.

https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1682 Product: fonts-ttf-japanese Component: fonts-ttf-japanese Summary: fonts not available in KDE, drakfont or OOo Version: 0.20020727-2mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On a fresh cooker installation, I selected Japanese as a second language during the installation. When I browse through the font list in the font-setup module in kcontrol, I cannot find any of the Japanese fonts: kochi-gothic kochi-mincho wadalab-gothic wadalab-mincho I cannot find them in the drakfont listing either. I tried this with and without AA on, both in a Japanese KDE environment as well as an English KDE environment. I then copied /usr/share/fonts/ttf/japanese/kochi-gothic.ttf to /tmp and used drakfont to install it, and then it appeared in the drakfont listings as well as the KDE font-module. At this point, I also looked in OpenOffice.org, and I could not find the wadalab fonts, but both kochi-gothic and kochi-mincho were in the font listings there. This looks like an incorrect font setup to me! Note: To be precise: When one uses localedrake to setup a Japanese account, wadalab is set up as the default fixed font in KDE [can't remember which one of the two, gothic or mincho]. However, wadalab doesn't appear in the listing of the selectable fonts. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Once logged in, I started kwrite and activated kinput2 with shift-space. After that, no characters appeared in the document I was editing. I closed kwrite, edited ~/.qt/qtrc and added XIMInputStyle=On The Spot in the [General] section I started kwrite again and I could use kinput2 as to do all the editing I wanted. In short: with some KDE applications on-the-spot does not work well or look all that great. With kwrite, it simply does not work at all! Since on-the-spot is the default state of a Japanese environment created by localedrake, this is a problem. My suggestion: I'm sure nobody on the Mandrake team wants to find this error in kwrite. Instead, I say that localedrake should change ~/.qt/qtrc in the manner prescribed above when Japanese is selected as the locale. That's a simple solution, it's relatively clean and all users of Japanese will love it because on-the-spot in KDE is just painfully ugly!

I would like to be able to remove individual fonts. After all, when I install fonts, they all go into /usr/X11/lib/X11/font/drakfont/...

It seemed to be imported successfully, I got no warnings or error messages during the installation. However, after the installation I noticed 2 things: 1) /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/TTF/arialuni.ttf was not readable by anyone except root because that were the permissions on the font file that I imported. I immediately added a+r to the permissions. 2) Neither drakfont nor the KDE font selector showed Arial Unicode in their font list. I logged out and in again, restarted xfs, switched from and to AA, but still the font did not show up. I then decided to add Bitstream Cyberbit. I manually fixed the permissions to a+r before I installed the font. Once I had finished installing it, both Bitstream Cyberbit and Arial Unicode showed up both in the KDE font selector as well as in drakfont! --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Set up all the mail programs so that they work right after login, etc. However, it is impossible to distinguish between these two right now and drakfirsttime makes it sound as if the setup information for the mail programs will be sent to MandrakeSoft. The privacy policy is worthless ... see below. Here is what needs to happen: a) The privacy policy has to be corrected and shortened or even removed. Was this copied verbatim from a Mandrake website? " What personal data do we collect ? Various information is collected in different areas of the website; what follows is an overview of the data we keep: Firstly, we record your email address, name and postal address." a1) What! drakfirsttime sends my email address, name and postal address to MandrakeSoft! This is sufficient reason for users to close drakfirsttime right away. a2) "areas of the website"! This phrase makes me believe that this text was simply copied from MandrakeExpert. a3) The text as a whole makes me believe that everything that I enter into drakfirsttime will be sent to MandrakeSoft. b) On every single page that asks for user data that is meant to be only used on the local computer, it needs to be clear that the data will not be sent to MandrakeSoft. The user should not see any privacy policy before or during the entering of this information in order not to confuse the user. c) On all pages that ask for data that will be used on the local computer as well as sent to MandrakeSoft, there has to be an "opt-out" button allowing the user not to send any data to MandrakeSoft. This way, users can use drakfirsttime to setup their accounts without having to share their data. I suggest that the privacy policy be accessible from this screen by the push of a button. d) On all pages that ask for data that will be sent to MandrakeSoft, [and provide no setup information for the local account] such as the signup for Mandrake Expert, the Mandrake Club etc, it has to be made absolutely clear that all data entered on such a page will leave the local computer and be sent to MandrakeSoft. No data may be obtained from b) or c) and sent away without the user's consent. [E.g. use data from b) and c) to fill in fields in d), this allows the user to remove it] I suggest that the privacy policy be accessible from this screen by the push of a button. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

However, I am of the opinion that we shouldn't even give nvidia the possibility to hide behind those arguments. We also shouldn't give them the possibility to say that the driver is the intellectual property of company X so they can't release it. For these reasons, I believe that we should only ask them for the specs. That's a very modest thing to ask for and it's much harder to come up with arguments for why they shouldn't release them. narfi.

Ok, I have attached a patch suggestion for SpiralLoops
Apply as:
tar zxf SpiralLoops-2.0.0.tar.gz
patch -p0 < patch1.p
I took the liberty of reinterpreting the command:
down(box())
in Fl_LED_Button::draw()
as being a typo for
down_box()
so maybe knowledgeable people should test the application and make sure that
the LED buttons look correct :-)
Narfi.
ps. I can compile and run the application on 9.0, can't try on cooker right
now.

Here are the diff needed to get spiralsynthmodular to compile on 9.0. They
were trivial replacements of #include "Fl/xx.h" with #include "FL/xx.h" (Note
the uppercase L). The affected files were:
GUI/Widgets/Fl_Canvas.C

[Cooker] dynamic USB /dev entries and desktop icons
What follows happened on a fresh cooker installation. The short story is: /dev entries were not added when I connected a hard drive to the usb bus, they were not removed when I disconnected the device, new /dev entries were not created when I added a different drive to the usb port. My question is: Should I file this as a kernel-bug or a devfs bug in bugzilla? Which one, then? The full story is: 1) I connected hard drive A to the usb port, it's an IDE in a IDE->USB enclosure case. Nothing happened. I.e. no desktop icons appeared, no /dev/sd* entries appeared. 2) I ran modprobe usb-storage, nothing happened. 3) I ran harddrake2 and lo and behold, a desktop icon appeared as well as /dev/sda and /dev/sda1. [ok, I admit that I keep forgetting what other modules I may need to modprobe ... but harddrake2 and diskdrake both manage to do that for me]. However, the partition type of /dev/sda1 was misdetected as vfat instead of ext3 so I had to unmount the drive and remount with -t ext3. 4) I worked with the drive for a while, unmounted it and disconnected it from the usb bus. 5) >>After the drive had been removed, the desktop icon stayed put and the /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 entries stayed<< Of course the expected behaviour was for all of these to disappear. 6) I connected hard drive B to the usb port, but all that was shown in /dev were the old entries. I tried to launch diskdrake and it warned me that the drive was unreadable and suggested perhaps to reformat it ! 7) >> Only when I rmmod-ed usb-storage and modprobe-d it again did the correct entries appear in /dev, i.e. /dev/sda, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5.<< What I expected: The correct entries to appear as soon as I connected the drive to the usb bus. 8) The /dev entries and the desktop icon of course remained after I disconnected the drive.

This dependency should at least be visible from drakxservices when the user clicks on the Info button. Think about it: If I hadn't read this email, and I had enabled fam and disabled portmap [in drakxservices] and then rebooted, I would have been up for quite a surprise if I had then seen portmap as a running service ... Regardless of whether you add this dependency into chkconfig, drakxservices or if you decide to ignore it: The user should be able to read about it by clicking the info button for both portmap and fam in drakxservices so that he/she has at least a chance of making a semi-informed decision about whether to enable/disable fam and portmap. This is of course the simplest solution: Overhaul the info text in drakxservices and drop the depencency checking! Narfi.
[Cooker] openoffice, Japanese and kinput2
i, I've been trying to find something on the lock-ups that occur in openoffice.org in a Japanese environment when using kinput2. This happens on a current cooker [as well as on 9.0, actually]. The problems occurs as follows: Start openoffice.org and select a font capable of displaying Japanese. Hit shift-space in order to activate the input method editor and type something in, say, "hiragana" without the quotes. Then hit ctrl-w twice to bring up the candidate selection window, press the right arrow key once to choose a candidate and hit enter twice to confirm that candidate. That should be enough to cause problems with OOo, namely possible lockups, some keys don't seem not to work, others don't work as expected, etc. Anyway, what I seem to have found as a solution is to append the following to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Kinput2 *SeparateConversion.input: false *selectionShell.input: false *auxShell.input: false Japanese speakers can find this in: http://openoffice-docj.sourceforge.jp/document/faq/us_linux.html and suse seems to have been aware of this for quite a while: http://lists.suse.com/archive/m17n/2002-May/0055.html Now, my question to Pablo and those that use kinput2 regularly is whether this is an acceptable solution. It means that the kinput2 candidate selection window never receives the keyboard focus, so that the arrow keys don't work anymore when selecting candidates. Instead, one has to use ctrl-w to cycle forward or to use the mouse. Unless anyone objects vociferously, I recommend adding this to the app-defaults/Kinput2 file in order to make ooffice usable again with kinput2. Narfi.

I'm struggling to think of any problems with > allowing that and can't really think of any. > I like the idea of allowing the user to quickly change the "only-one-program-of-each-kind" menus. Actually, I think that it's a great idea! However, I don't particularly like the idea of having this in MCC. Doesn't MCC still require the root password in order to be run? I for sure wouldn't give a newbie the root password on my machine simply in order to modify his/her own menus! Mandrake provides programs in 3 categories: 1) Requires root password before anything can be done. (harddrake2, sounddrake, XFdrake, mousedrake, ...) 2) Only used to customize a user account. (mandrake first time wizard, draksync, localedrake, ...) 3) Can be run as user, can be run as root. (menudrake, userdrake, ...) and I really miss a clearer separation between these categories. The first category is well served by MCC. Those that know the root password can also easily find the programs in the 3rd category. However, those that don't know the root password simply need to look through their menus and submenus and sub-submenus, and then search through their path, ... localedrake is my favourite example of such a program. My suggestions are: a) the program discussed in this thread should allow the user to choose whether the menus should display any programs in category 1) or not [regardless of whether they are made by mandrake, kde or gnome or ...] I think that removing all those pesky root-only configuration programs from the menus makes a newbie's life easier. I want them on my home machine since I administer it, but they only confuse my wife... b) Create a "Mandrake Personal Control Center" or something like that for all the programs in categories 2) and 3) that can be run as user. Narfi.

Also, the drives are used in PIO mode (or something awful like that) since the identifiers for the motherboard controllers are not recognized. The latest AC kernel has the identifiers for the IDE controllers, can those patches be incorporated into the std. cooker kernel as well as boot images? The last time I checked, the hd.img boot kernel was 2.4.19 and I'd greatly appreciate one which works at full speed on the nforce2 motherboards. It took > 30 min. to format a 6GB partition during my latest installation! Narfi.

[Cooker] hard drive install without a floppy drive
Hi everybody, I need a little advice before I install cooker on a separate partition on my home computer. I already have all of cooker mirrored on a reiserfs partition on my hard drive, so I am all set for a hard drive install using hd.img. Except I don't have a floppy drive. Since the installation may or may not be successful, I don't particularly feel like using MakeCD to create a complete set of install CDs. What would you recommend? Can I burn a bootable CD with hd.img on it? Such a CD would be valid for a lot longer than a standard install CD. Can I put the contents of hd.img on my hard drive, and use lilo to boot from it? Thanks, and merry Christmas to all of you, Narfi.

Ok, let's try again: As far as we have been able to see in this thread, the #include statements in /usr/include/kernel/videodev.h and /usr/include/kernel/videodev2.h are royally screwed up: a) Why does kernel/videodev.h include kernel/fs.h? It breaks, among other things, mjpegtools. b) Why are all the include statements missing from kernel/videodev2.h? Narfi. Below: The #include-s are compared to stock 2.4.18 and 2.4.19.

The question in front of us is much simpler: Why were these 2 kernel headers changed: linux/videodev2.h, linux/videodev.h? Once we know that, we can hopefuly change them back into the way everybody else has them. After that has been done, we can debate the #ifdef __KERNEL__ issue because that would again be doing something that isn't done in stock 2.4.19 and I'm sure the developers will hesitate making such a change. Can somebody find the patch to these 2 files in mandrake's cvs? I would imagine that finding it and being able to contact that developer directly might help getting some reponse on this issue. I looked and I couldn't find it. Vacations or no vacations, this bug report has received absolutely no response from any employee despite the fact that there have been 4 threads about it on cooker, starting on June 3rd. My hat's off to Austin for his persistence. Narfi.
