[Cooker] no DMA in linux-2.6.0-0.test9.5mdk
I just tried the test9.5 kernel and during the fsck stage it keeps saying that DMA is turned off on the hard drive. I checked with hdparm and it is off and it gives a SIOC error when I try to enable it. I tried ide0=dma on the kernel command line, but it didn't change anything. I noticed some messages during boot about reiserfs being in slow mode. I've enclosed an example boot from my warnings log file to help. If there is other info I can give, just ask. Thanks.

The bash man page is rather more like a man BOOK, or even a man ENCYCLOPEDIA , it's so long, but using the Mdk default less as the man pager, "/" puts man (or less, actually) into "find" mode, so you can use "/ulimit" and then hit return to search for it once the bash manpage is loaded. Or.. at least with the manpage version as I have it here.. ulimit is covered starting at line 4305, it looks like. bash also has built-in help. Type 'help' and it spews out a 45 line summary of the built-in commands. Type 'help ulimit' and 28 helpful lines about ulimit are shown :-) I was happy when I found out about 'help'... less wading through the bash man page. -- Mark Scott

Strangely, it does appear that if sata_via is loaded, kernel doesn't recognize normal disk as UDMA133 capable... I'm afraid I don't have that problem, the PATA drive isn't UDMA133 capable, it's a Seagate ST36561A (6.3Gb). It gets a buffered disk read speed (from hdparm -t) of 9.46MB/sec. The SATA disk achieves 50.67MB/sec. I also did the following to create a 512 Mb file: # time dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 0.61user 7.10system 0:14.15elapsed 54%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (146major+42minor)pagefaults 0swaps No idea how good a metric it is, but writing 512Mb in 14.15s is 36.18Mb/s (ext3 fs) BTW, ia32 installer won't know about those SATA drivers unless it is rebuilt with latest -BOOT kernel & ldetect-lst. Uhuh... I was thinking of doing 'urpmi --root ...' to install a basic bootable system on the SATA disk (and putting sata_via in its initrd), bypassing the need to work out how to rebuild the installer.

Once installed and loading sata_via in the modules.conf the hard drives are detected and seem to operate well independently. Ah, yes, doing a "modprobe sata_via" makes the drive work. So I guess the kernel doesn't need patching, but maybe updating (the last libata patch was 17th Oct). I don't know if this is reliable or not... I'll find out over time :-) I had problems with diskdrake formatting the drive. I used it to create a single 76Gb partition on /dev/sda and format it as the default ext3. "df -h" gave a partition size of around 380 *Mb*. Running "mke2fs -j" from the console did not change anything. I then ran "fdisk /dev/sda" and just listed the partition table and wrote it to disk after changing nothing. Running "mke2fs -j" again correctly created a 76Gb ext3 filesystem. All of this is with 9.2 (not cooker), but they are near-identical at the moment. I can retest with Cooker / give accurate information if required. I'll try reproducing it tonight and file a bug report if it happens again. -- Mark Scott

[Cooker] kde and multiple sessions, aka fast user switching...
I've implimented the "fix" to enable kdm to start multiple kde sessions and it's working well, but I was wondering if there are any programs that will graphically show who's logged in to which VT? I thought I saw something pass through the changelog list that put an icon in the KDE tray to show who was logged in, but I can't find it now. I need to do something, even if it's create some superkaramba script that show's who's logged in and make everyone run it, because people are logging in multiple times because they don't know they are already logged in.

A few weeks ago I had a problem with styles in KDE on cooker not working or showing up, and found the problem was an old libqt library in /usr/lib/ that was messing things up. I removed it and styles started working again. I probably should just wipe everything out and do a fresh install every so often, but I'm lazy and it's so much work to track down every little package that I need to have installed to get the system back to a comfortable state. Which reminds me.. if I were to create an autoinstall disk from my current system, would it only list packages from main or would it include contrib and plf packages? If I then attempted an install from that disk would it have a problem finding all the rpms if I kept a local mirror of cooker, contrib, and plf? Just a thought... I'm probably making it more complex than it needs to be... Thanks, Scott

I've been updating my box using urpmi --auto-select for at least the past two or three release cycles, constantly running cooker. I'm wondering if there is anyway to use urpmi or rpm to give me a list of files that exist on my system that don't belong to any installed packages, so I can clean things up a little bit. I'm sure it would be much easier to just install from scratch, I just don't feel like tracking down all the contrib and plf packages I've installed over the years again. Thanks, Scott
[Cooker] kde styles...
Hi, I figure I have to be doing something wrong, but I was looking to change the KDE style last night and the only styles I see are Liquid and the default QT styles. I installed all the kdemoreartwork packages and the .so files are in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins but KDE is not noticing. I do get some messages when running kcmshell style from the command prompt about some of the files being linked against incompatible QT version (3.1.2) I have libqt3-3.1.2-14mdk installed, which I think is the latest. thanks, scott

Cheers; Leon I compiled a kernel with the patch from bootsplash.org, and while it boots and works with a normal MDK splashscreen i cannot figure out how the rc scripts work both with Mandrakes version and SuSE's version so i can figure out what needs to be different so the new bootsplash's work. Somewhere SuSE defines a box() function which is supposed to draw the box around where the progress bar goes and also allows the bar to use gradients. I just cannot find that function defined anywhere... I'm not very good with init scripts to begin with... :) I do know that there will need to be work done with mkinitrd to support the new version of the config file and also silent and verbose splash screens.

Not quite... Mandrake sorta supports the version 2 spec of bootsplash themes, but not the newer v3, which supports a quiet screen that just shows the progress bar.

[Cooker] Bootsplash question...
I was just wondering if there are any plans on incorporating some of the ideas from www.bootsplash.org into the next version or so of Mandrake? I like the idea of having a silent bootsplash screen or a verbose one. I was looking into how to make the bootsplash.org version work on 9.1, but I, unfortunately, don't really understand how either version works. Just a suggestion. :) Scott
[Cooker] [Bug 4055] [postfix] New: Patch postfix.spec to use SASL2 libraries instead of SASL1 libraries
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4055
Product: postfix
Component: packaging
Summary: Patch postfix.spec to use SASL2 libraries instead of
SASL1 libraries
Product: postfix
Version: 2.0.9-4mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: packaging
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Most applications that Postfix would want to communicate with are using the
SASL2 libraries, e.g., OpenLDAP, Cyrus-IMAP. Therefore, I suggest that you
compile Postfix against the SASL2 libraries as well.

But only if we shipped a sample PHP script that was accessible by default and which used that function. You could see that patch as being similar to removing strcpy() from glibc; sure, it would arguably improve the security of any programs that were updated to use strncpy(), but it would also dramatically increase the number of patches required to make packages available on your distro. Yeah, okay, phpinfo() is far less useful than strcpy(), but remember to take into account the number of PHP tutorials that use as the equivalent of "Hello, world" and determine which case you want to handle: * disabling phpinfo() and dealing with people complaining that PHP doesn't work on Mandrake, because phpinfo() is a standard PHP function documented at php.net and within numerous books, tutorials, articles * leaving phpinfo() enabled and dealing with the security threat posed by a PHP developer who writes a script using phpinfo() and then makes that script accessible on a public server I suspect the first case is much more likely to occur. Disabling part of the published API for a language is a recipe for much wailing and gnashing of teeth. -- Dan Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Some other people here already confirmed, that the problem goes away, when you disable antialiasing in Qt and recompile it. I guess, that the bug is in Qt's handling of antialiasing, it does not fall back to non-antialiased mode when Render is not available and crashes the application. Jan I'll ask again then. Should this be reported upstream? I didn't see anything about this in the KDE bugzilla. I did not check trolltech. It wasn't a kde problem... a patch was applied to libqt3 between 12mdk and 13mdk that forces the use of AA fonts, which will fail if the Render extension is not present. There's a link in a previous message that points to a version of libqt3 without that patch and it works fine. Scott

But you have to recompile Qt for that. If you just unset the option in KDE and unset the environment variables for that (QT_XFT or something like that), that does not help - Qt will not use antialiasing, but will still require it. When you compile Qt, there is an option -xft and -xrender, which control this behavior and both are on by default : -no-xrender Do not compile XRender support. * -xrender ... Compile XRender support. Requires X11/extensions/Xrender.h and libXrender. -no-xft Do not compile Xft (anti-aliased font) support. * -xft ... Compile Xft support. Requires X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h and libXft.

[Cooker] mozilla problems...
Every since I updated my laptop to cooker a couple of days ago, I've been having a rather odd problem in Mozilla. This happens with mozilla-1.3-0.final.20030228.1mdk. When I try to type something in the address bar, it takes 10-30 seconds before it will actually show what I type. This, so far as I can tell, only happens the first time you use mozilla and type something in the address bar. I've look around on the list and no one else seems to be having the problem, but if anyone else notices it and can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Scott

I mean will all features in the kcontrol panel eventually reflect settings to mdkkdm? mdkkdm use kcontrol->kdm configuration file. What is the whole reason behind mdkkdm? Just branding or is there some goal to new added functionality that's being worked on? There is not new feature. In the past I've seen mdk changes that were not liked at first, I remember some rpmdrake things that really pissed people off, but mdk came through with a very nice rpmdrake. I trust that will happen with mdkkdm as well, but I'm glad the choice isn't taken away from us now to use what we want to use. I think kde's kdm is really nice, couldn't the kdm that's already there just have some branding added to it by mdk without redoing the layout and functions? New kdm is a just a redesign of kdm. Regards. I still think it should be a separate package however even in that case. I took a look at it last night and I immediately felt I knew the reason behind the redesign: Newbies. If you stand back and look at it from the right perspective, it looks like an attempt to copy the XP login manager, only instead of having the Icon's and names on the background, it's all in a window. XP works fairly similar in that you have to click on a name before you get a password prompt. Also, it hides administrator users as well. Overall, it's got potential. Some things I'd like to see fixed (if they haven't been already) are: * Don't make the any of the buttons at the bottom of the dialog have focus. This way enter won't reboot or halt the computer. * If possible, make an option to have the names and icons drawn on the desktop like XP with themable placement. * In keeping with recent discussions on switching users, one thing XP does that this login manager is ideal for is showing who's logged in already and if there are programs running for that user. Perhaps grayscaling or fading the icon for logged in users and have a line under is saying "XX open applications". you could filter out GNOME or KDE desktop related processes to show "apps". Just some suggestions Scott

Re: [Cooker] [Bug 974] [mount] New: fat32 filesytem mounted asworld-writable
I agree with your evaluation, Pixel. Rationale: -- Worrying about a largely theoretical Linux virus seems pretty pointless. Let's think about the user base that we're targeting: * absolute beginners (the same ones likely to use autologin and msec 0): will want to browse through their FAT32 filesystem to load and edit their MS Word documents, then reboot into Windows for some other application where they may also load the same document in MS Word again, until they become accustomed to Linux and break ties with Windows. These users are quite unlikely to quickly figure out how to change the mount permissions, and not particularly likely to understand why they were prevented from writing to those files in the first place... if it's FAT32, in Windows they can delete pretty much anything they like. * power users: familiar with at least one desktop environment, able to find drakconf and change the permissions to lock themselves out of FAT32 partitions if they so desire (or able to browse the HOWTOs and learn enough to edit /etc/fstab to do the right thing) * LPIC-certified sysadmins: able to tweak /etc/fstab to their heart's content Just to get my own biases out of the way, I'm LPIC-1 certified, but (shh) probably closer to a power user than sysadmin. I would expect this kind of setting to be determined by msec, and/or easily tweakable through drakconf.

Well, the options are: (1) DSA and ElGamal (default) (2) DSA (sign only) (4) ElGamal (sign and encrypt) (5) RSA (sign only) So I chose 1 anyways. gnupg then asked me for the desired keylength. 1024 is the default, so I hit return. gnupg then asked me how long the key should be valid. 0 (key does not expire) is the default, so I hit return. > - enter your Firstname+Name+email address @linux-mandrake.com > (for example: if your name is "John Smith" and your email address is > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", then enter: John Smith > [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Hmm, I don't have an @linux-mandrake.com email address. Should I? gnupg prompts me for my real name, email address, then a comment. So I use "Dan Scott", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "". So far, so good. But then... > In order to extract a public ascii key: > - type: gpg -kxa Hmm. gnupg doesn't recognize those options. I search the man page for gnupg and the closest thing I can find is gpg --clearsign. I try it, enter my passphrase for confirmation, and... nothing. It just sits there. Read the gnupg FAQ and HOWTO and eventually figured out that I really want something like: gpg --armor --output asc.key --export "Dan Scott" That's as far as I have come in the process. I've been working in my spare time since the end of December to try and contribute an RPM for Figaro's Password Manager to club-volunteers. But critical process information is either split between the Mandrake RPM HOWTO, web pages, the club-volunteers FAQ, and occasional messages on the cooker list, or it's a little out of date. Any chance that we could update the Mandrake RPM HOWTO and move the RPM signing information into a chapter of the HOWTO? I know Docbook, so I might be able to be coaxed into updating the beast a wee bit...

IANAL, but I come to the following conclusion: 2(a) It is illegal to distribute the program if you are a commercial organisation and charging for the distribution including pdflib unless: 2(a)(i) It is posting it on a public access area for download, where the charge is a fee for downloading an amount of data, irrespective of what that data is, e.g. $0.02 per Mb. 2(a)(ii) It is on physical media, e.g. CD, where all other information on that media is distributable for non-commerical purposes without charge, and that no other products are included with those CDs. Mandrake do charge for boxed sets, and so fall under condition 2(a). Exclusion 2(a)(i) does not apply to Mandrake, since no charge is made by Mandrake for downloading. Exclusion 2(a)(ii) applies in at least the circumstance of the PowerPack, where the Mandrake CDs are accompanied by other products (StarOffice), which are not distributable for non-commerical purposes. I think it can be in the main distribution, except when accompanied by the commercial applications in the PowerPack product.

Re: [Cooker] Kernel Aironet Drivers problem
I tried it after. (I had noticed the same annoying behaviour described by the previous poster about mismatched versions of the wireless utilities, but my connection had worked so I just ignored it.) It wasn't until I upgraded to the latest Cisco firmware (4.25.30, if anyone is counting) that the ../net/pcmcia/ drivers started oopsing(!) and I got really concerned. At least the ../net/wireless/ drivers didn't oops. Anyways, I downgraded to firmware level 4.25.23 and the ../net/wireless/ drivers work quite well for me once again.

[Cooker] gtk+2.0/XFree86/pango rebuilding & Xft missing development files
Hi,
I've found a collection of related issues centering around Xft.
Previously, the Xft include files (/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/*) were
provided in the libXft2-devel RPM. This RPM was made obsolete by
XFree86-devel, which says it provides "libXft2-devel". However, the Xft
include files and /usr/X11R6/bin/xft-config script are *not* included.
This causes a rebuild of the pango SRPM to fail on a current cooker
(BuildRequires are fine, but the Xft files are missing).
Also, gtk+2.0-2.2.0-1mdk has a BuildRequire on Xft-devel.
libXft2-devel Provided libXft-devel, libXft2-devel and Xft-devel.
XFree86-devel only Provides libXft2-devel.
I've attached two patches:
(1) Fix gtk+2.0 spec to BuildRequire libXft2-devel instead of Xft-devel
(2) Fix XFree86-devel spec to package the Xft header files and xft-config.
I'm not sure whether (1) should be fixing the gtk+2.0 spec or adding
Provides to XFree86-devel. I decided updating the gtk+2.0 spec was
better than adding more to the XFree86 spec.
Also, I'm not that familiar with Xft/fontconfig/XFree86, so take (2)
carefully. There is a warning of some other unpackaged files at the end
of the XFree86 rebuild - perhaps someone knowledgeable should have a
look at whether they should be included.
In case it isn't clear these are the versions that I'm talking about:
XFree86-4.2.99.3-1.20021223.3mdk
gtk+2.0-2.2.0-1mdk
pango-1.2.0-1mdk

Re: [Cooker] Question about H.323 and servers
I briefly read something regarding forwarding netmeeting through a firewall and basically it's not possible without, maybe, a proxy. GnomeMeeting is forwardable because is communicates on a specific range of TCP and UDP ports, but Netmeeting randomly chooses the port it's going to use, which makes port forwarding difficult. You can check on gnomemeetings website (http://www.gnomemeeting.org), there are some links to H.323 proxy servers there. I hope this helps.

I think you could argue the case that Mandrake is selling the physical box and the support for that box, but that the software included is (mostly) free, which is different from charging specifically for the software itself. If it were a package that was only included in the boxed set and not the download version (i.e. StarOffice), then I think it would be obvious that Star Office is a monetary value add-on for the boxed set.

This might be why the simple libraries load. Hey. That was a one hell of an advise. I kicked iostream out (thankfully I could) and it worked like charm.. I hope libstdc++ gets straight some day. Will keep checking this periodically. Right now I can afford with no libstdc++ for the time being but may need it in future.. Let me know if you (or anyone else) find out anything more about this - I don't know why it works (I'm guessing that inclusion of iostream instantiates a couple of classes and so requires __dso_handle). As I said, removing -nostdlib from the link options to g++ was an alternative solution, and did not require removing iostream. __dso_handle was defined as an non-exportable symbol in the library when I did that (instead of an attempted imported symbol). BTW, I'm not convinced this is a bug in libstdc++ or Mandrake's packaging of it, but the same code and Makefiles worked without problem for both gcc-2.96 and gcc-3.0.4 in Mandrake 8.2 -- Mark Scott

Qt has seamless integration with OpenGL/Mesa 3D libraries. Qt is free for development of free software on the X Window System. It includes the complete source code for the X version and makefiles for Linux, Solaris, SunOS, FreeBSD, OSF/1, Irix, BSD/OS, NetBSD, SCO, HP-UX and AIX. This edition of Qt may be modified and distributed under the terms found in the LICENSE.QPL file. Qt also supports Windows 95 and NT, with native look and feel. Code developed for the X version of Qt can be recompiled and run using the Windows 95/NT version of Qt, and vice versa. Qt is currently used in hundreds of software development projects world wide, including the K Desktop Environment (see http://www.kde.org). For more examples, see http://www.trolltech.com/qtprogs.html. Qt has excellent documentation: around 750 pages of postscript and fully cross-referenced online html documentation. It is available on the web: http://doc.trolltech.com/ Qt is easy to learn, with consistent naming across all the classes and a 14-chapter on-line tutorial with links into the rest of the documentation. A number of 3rd-party books are also available. Qt dramatically cuts down on development time and complexity in writing user interface software for the X Window System. It allows the programmer to focus directly on the programming task, and not mess around with low-level Motif/X11 code. Qt is fully object-oriented. All widgets and dialogs are C++ objects, and, using inheritance, creation of new widgets is easy and natural. Qt's revolutionary signal/slot mechanism provides true component programming. Reusable components can work together without any knowledge of each other, and in a type-safe way. Qt has a very fast paint engine, in some cases ten times faster than other toolkits. The X version is based directly on Xlib and uses neither Motif nor X Intrinsics. Qt is available under two different licenses: - The Qt Professional Edition License, for developing fully commercial software: see http://www.trolltech.com/pricing.html - The Q Public License (QPL), for developing free software (X Window System only). --=-=-= * Wed Nov 13 2002 Laurent MONTEL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3.1.0-2mdk - Add patch9 : Fix qwidget bug : "It fixes child windows being hidden randomly."

Yes! I got the same problems yesterday (both on 9.0 and latest Cooker).
I have not recompiled any binutils/gcc/glibc.
The problem is that crtbegin{,S,T}.o, which define __dso_handle, are not
being included in the library.
I found that removing -nostdlib from my library link options solved the
problem (not fully tested them so there may be other gremlims lurking
from removal of -nostdlib).
On some libraries I could get away with just removing an unnecessary
inclusion of from the source, removing the need for the
library to want __dso_handle. This might be why the simple libraries load.

Probably not related, but I saw Tb (when I only have Gb, at most, anywhere :) in various places in KDE 3.1 RC2; in particular, the download manager and Konqueror. On raising a (KDE) bug report I was informed that it "would soon be fixed in CVS", so I look forward to RC3 ...

We researched into staroffice and what we found is that it advertized being able to import *.wpd files, ecclent. We then placed our order for mdk 9 for upgrade purposes and because it had star office bundled with it. Well I got the staroffice rpms installed and tried opening a wordperfect document, well nothing :-( I then checked the documentation, and tried a custom install for the purpose of selecting the filters I wanted installed. Unfortunatly it seems the advertized *.wpd filter was not included. just a workaround: can't you copy .wpd -> .doc -> .sxw ? just a thought... current version of Abiword read .wpd files. I'm not sure how good it does, but it does support it. perhaps, at the very least, open them in Abiword and save them out at RTF to open in star office... just a thought... Scott

It's starting to get confusing because KDE 3.1 (beta 2) is developing general (non-KDE-specific) control centre options; as well as Linux kernel configuration/linuxconf, already in 3.0, there is a new 3.1 control centre option to play around with the X configuration and another to install fonts. Needless to say, these overlap with Mandrake Control Centre options and, in the case of the KDE X configurator, appear to be dangerous to the configuration set up by drakconf :/ The way things are going the only solution to this confusion will be for some sort of open control centre architecture whereby a "reseller" (Mandrake, SuSE, Red Hat et alia) can plug modules of their own into the core framework and even remove KDE's/Gnome's own, replacing them with their equivalents ...

[Cooker] Drakfont out of sync with use of fontconfig
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 With KDE 3.1 beta 2 installed I imported various TTF fonts using drakfont ... and they were appearing un-anti-aliased.

Re: [Cooker] libqt3 + fontconfig?
I don't know if the mandrake packaged version does, but I read on Trolltechs website that QT 3.1 is supposed to support XFT2 and fontconfig. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan on it tonight or tomorrow... I don't know if there are any cool font setting boxes like Redhat has in KDE or even the current MDK release of Gnome. Scott gabor wrote: hi, will libqt3 use xft/fontconfig? now that gnome (gtk2 actually ) is using it ( many-many thanks to fcrozat + redhat80 :-), is libqt3 going to use it too? and if yes, in the near future? thanks, gabor
