[Cooker] Problem with the beta4 isos or tar?
Hi, I just tried to extract the first iso of beta 4 (md5sum is ok) to /mnt/win_d/Mandrake and encountered problems I had never seen before. The iso is mounted as a loop device on /mnt/disk and I typed the following command to copy everything from one place to the other: # (cd /mnt/disk && tar -cf - .) | (cd /mnt/win_d/Mandrake && tar -xpvf -) Files started copying but near the end error messages started to appear saying: "tar: ./Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/basename: Cannot create symlink to `commands': Operation not permitted" for a lot of files and then: "tar: ./Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/vi: Directory renamed before its status could be extracted" for a lot of directories... It seems there is a probleme with the links on the cd that should not be symlinks. Maybe there is a problem with tar also because the name of the VERSION and COPYING files that are in the root of the iso were changed to lowercase and this is very Weird! A compressed file with all the errors is available at: http://www.megaoctet.net/~baal/typescript.txt.bz2 Regards, Baal

Hi, When i click on an html link that points to an mp3 file with galeon or Mozilla my computer immédiatly freezes. This is not only the X server because after the freeze, it is also impossible to ssh in from another computer.This makes it very hard to see what happens... These are the packages involved: xmms-1.2.6-2mdk mozilla-0.9.8-6mdk galeon-1.0.3-4mdk If someone needs more info just ask ;) Regards, Baal

Obviously, it doesn't have to be a number. > nopentium was probably written there because you performed an upgrade from a system that already had the option appended to LILO... I think it would be very important to add this since it affects the majority of AMD cpus used with the AGP port... The change that mem=nopentium does is simply telling the kernel to use 4k pages instead of 4M pages and almost no programs can use 4M pages anyway so the performance loss is absolutely imperceptible. Many person reported big stability problems when 8.1 came out and this option can prevent that... For those interested in knowing if their CPU is affected, you can make cat /proc/cpuinfo and if the tree following lines are not identical then your CPU probably has the bug: cpu family : 6 model : 2 stepping: 2 Regards, Baal

[Cooker] $PATH problem?
Hi, When I open gnomecc > Advanced > "Window Manager Selection" and choose Enlightenment as my Window Manager and press ok, it waits 10 seconds before sending an error window telling that it timed out and that it will use the default: sawfish. I added a new entry called E with /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment and then everything worked perfectly... It happens that I compiled E17 two days ago and installed it to /usr/local/bin but it segfaults when I try to start so I checked the default $PATH : [baal@mydotcom baal]$ echo $PATH /usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/baal/bin:/home/baal/bin [baal@mydotcom baal]$ Shouldn't /usr/local/bin be placed after /usr/X11R6/bin so people can compile and install programs without breaking the system? Also, as you can see /usr/bin and ~/bin both appears two times... I am not writing this to be helped with E17 or to be told how to modify my bash settings. This I can do, but many peoples can't do that... Regards, Baal
