[Cooker] Updated heartbeat, and request
I noticed this on the linux-ha.org site, we are currently at 1.0.2: "6/25/2003: A potential remote exploit has been discovered in heartbeat. Please upgrade to version 1.0.3 or later at your earliest convenience. See the security announcement for more details." I also am wondering if we can make it so the heartbeat srpm will compile on Mandrake 8.2. I am running a MNF cluster and the heartbeat version that we are using (0.4.9) has a bug that was fixed in 0.4.9.1, but there are no updates to 0.4.9.1 for Mandrake. The next version that was released for Mandrake was 1.0.2 and that only compiles on 9.2 or cooker. Here is the bug that is biting me: Fixed a fairly rare client API bug where it would shut down the client for no apparent reason. Not fun. Thank you for your efforts. I would do this myself but I can't seem to figure out how to make the new srpm work with 8.2. -- Bret Baptist Systems and Technical Support Specialist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet Exposure, Inc. http://www.iexposure.com (612)676-1946 x17 Web Development-Web Marketing-ISP Services -- Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Yeah the module loaded, but it gave a warning about of something to the effect of being unstable. Dang.. can't remember exactly, when you did an lsmod it said "unstable" or something next to it.

Well it is not a problem requiring 2 votes per bug to confirm it. It is the fact that if I want to vote for 2 bugs that are in the Installation component I can't. So if I am doing my bug hunting, find 2 bugs in the installation, search in bugzilla and find that other people have already discovered these bugs, I can only confirm one of them. The other bug I can't vote for.

I quote: "So how is the decision [to add a preference] made? It's a judgment call. I try to go through some questions like these: 1. Ask questions to find out what's really bugging someone who requests a preference. What is the annoyance or inefficiency that prompted them to ask? 2. Can said annoyance be made to go away for all users without requiring a preference? If so, just do that. You may have to think about the big picture of the UI to figure out how to make it Just Work. 3. Is the annoyance or inefficiency really significant, or did it cost them 1 second doing something that users do once per week on average? If it's just some trivial thing, then the extra feature or preference probably costs more than it's worth, even if you can't make things Just Work. 4. Does any other OS have this feature or preference? I'm all for innovation, but if no one else is doing something, you should think it through twice to be sure there isn't a reason they aren't doing it. If you're appropriately humble you'll probably find that a lot of thought and user testing has gone into the currently popular platforms." The only question that we can't answer yes to is number 3, if it is trivial or not. I think that all the others we can say with a fair degree of certainty, yes. In the case of number 4, other OSes having this feature, I would say that most of them do have the abiltity to look the same across almost all apps when you change the color of the widgets. The main reason I am pushing this is I have seen what people said about Redhat's BlueCurve. It was lambasted in some circles solely for the color customization issue, I don't want the same to happen to Mandrake's Galaxy. If you are going to make things look the same, then you should probably make sure that they *always* look the same. The first time Linux user who goes into KControl and selects a different color scheme and finds their Gimp looking very out of place is going to get a bad impression of what Linux can do. "Windows handles color changes without a problem." The only way to really "fix" the issue is to pull the color settings module from KControl, not a good option at all, or make it so that the color scheme is the same between GTK and QT. Does this make any sense?

[Cooker] Really annoying KDE bug.
I have a REALLY annoying KHTML bug that has forced me to not use konqueror as my webbrowser. I have submitted bug reports to bugs.kde.org that I feel have been complete and describe the problem fully, and they have been subsequently ignored. Who do I have to bribe to get a word in, to fix this damn bug that has been in KDE since the 3.1rcX days? Here are the links to two bug reports on bug.kde.org, one of them has 147 votes on it, that seems like an aweful lot of votes for a bug that not a single kde developer has even acknowledged. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you very much.

[Cooker] Re: Trackman Marble FX setup.
Yeah the config is a bit wierd... but it *is* what works with the trackball. I think it would be a nice option for people using this trackball. I will fill a feature request in on bugzilla right now. Thanks for considering it. Bret.

[Cooker] Trackman Marble FX setup.
Way back in September of last year I contacted you about setting up the trackman marble fx scroll *button* on install. At that time you had mentioned that you would add it to your list of mouse issues. Well I have tested Mandrake 9.1 Beta2 and noticed that it is not an option yet. Just wondering if we would get that in there. Thanks. Here is a link to the emails: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker&m=103280072107956&w=2 Or for the lazy here is the text: On Monday 23 September 2002 11:26 am, Bret Baptist wrote: I have a Logitech Trackman MarbleFX. I have found XF86Config settings to make the scroll button work. Who would I send this information to so that Mandrake can have it in the mouse configuration menu? This it is a configuration option only for 4.2.x and later XFree86 versions, here are the docs relevent to the options: http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/mouse.4.html. All you have to do is add this to the XF86Config-4 for the mouse setup. Option "Protocol""MouseManPlusPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Buttons" "4" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "EmulateWheel" "1" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "4" Option "EmulateWheelInertia" "12" It uses the same drivers as the MouseMan, but the 4th button uses the EmulateWheel option that is fairly new in XFree86.

The one with the thumb trackball. That trackball does come with an ordinary scroll wheel. The MarbleFX is the trackball with the large ball. :-) The MarbleFX does not have a scroll wheel, it has a scroll button. -- Bret Baptist Systems and Technical Support Specialist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet Exposure, Inc. http://www.iexposure.com (612)676-1946 x17 Web Development-Web Marketing-ISP Services -- Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Do you have a mouse or a trackball? If you answer a mouse than it is not the same. :-) There is no way that you could have scrolling on a TrackMan Marble FX with the settings that you have there. -- Bret Baptist Systems and Technical Support Specialist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet Exposure, Inc. http://www.iexposure.com (612)676-1946 x17 Web Development-Web Marketing-ISP Services -- Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

[Cooker] Adding a new mouse type
I am curious who I need to contact about configuration settings for a particular type of mouse. I have a Logitech Trackman MarbleFX. I have found XF86Config settings to make the scroll button work. Who would I send this information to so that Mandrake can have it in the mouse configuration menu?
