[Cooker] jpilot plugins not recognized

2003-10-07 Thread Bruce F Press
libjpilot_plugin0-0.99.6-1mdk
jpilot-0.99.6-1mdk

The jpilot plugins installed in /usr/lib/jpilot/plugins are not
recognized by jpilot since they end in .0

Problem can be corrected by linking
ex.

ln -s libkeyring.so.0 libkeyring.so

Then jpilot correctly detects the plugin.

Visor module is loaded automatically at boot.  It's enabled in 
/etc/sysconfig/usb.  But, I have unloaded and reloaded with the cradle 
connected and nothing.

No, nothing in /var/log/messages.  /dev/pilot  is not created.  usbview

It never shows up in /proc/bus/usb/devices, while my logitech usb mouse 
and sandisk smartmedia reader do.  So, this seems to be a failure in the

Re: [Cooker] too many kernels installed

2001-12-14 Thread Bruce F Press

urpmi now has kernell listed in /etc/urpmi/inst.lst  this causes new 
kernels to be installed, not upgraded, so the list of installed kernels 
keeps growing.

Also, if you are manually removing multiply listed packages you must use 
the rpm switch --allmatches.

I have a sandisk and it works just fine read-only.  It is detected, but 
I have to do a 'modprobe sd_mod' if I boot without the media in the 
drive.  I have a 'storage=yes' in /etc/sysconfig/usb.

the following entry in my fstab mounts it:

[Cooker] Kudzu messing up XF86Config-4 on mouse detection

2001-09-05 Thread Bruce F Press

I have been taking my laptop from home (logitech USB wheel mouse) to the 
office (built-in ps/2 mouse) and having kudzu handle detection and 
configuration for months.  Without any problem.

With a recent upgrade:

kudzu-0.99.14-1mdk
XFree86-4.1.0-10mdk

kudzu now leaves /dev/mouse linked to mouse  (back to itself).  It also 
leaves an incomplete definition of Mouse2 in XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Option "Protocol" ""
Option "Device" "/dev/"
EndSection

There's an option to configure that tells it to ignore

So, back to the original question.   How do we get the PCMCIA bus working
with 2.4.7-1mdk?

[Cooker] Package Naming produces conflicts

2001-07-19 Thread Bruce F Press

file /usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/gal.mo conflicts between 
attempted installs of
libgal8-0.9.1-1mdk and libgal7-0.8-3mdk

I've come across similar issues with things like gtkhtml vs gtkhtml9, 
gtkhtml7, etc

How is it that these packages slip through?  Are they really different 
packages
or has somebody just dropped a hyphen?  Is this package naming or a 
shortcoming
in RPM?







[Cooker] Dependency failure 07/19/01

While installing both gnome-guile and gnome-guile-devel (0.20-4mdk):

error: failed dependencies:

libguilegtk-1.2.so is provided by gnome-guile-devel, so I think this

[Cooker] links in /boot always have to be made by hand

2001-06-29 Thread Bruce F Press

I have been doing urpmi upgrades for months, every time there is a new
kernel release I know I have to take the following actions.


ln -sf config-mdk config
ln -sf System.map-mdk System.map
vi /etc/lilo.conf ==> remove the entry for /boot/vmlinuz-mdk
lilo

The links, at least, should be made automatically in the package.  It should
be easier to do a sed update of lilo.conf than to try to edit out the 
old entry,
or just append a new entry as is being done now.

With an upgrade to samba-2.2.1-12mdk previously mounted samba shares

Wonder if anyone knows this offhand, or has encountered it.
  
Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0-3mdk about a week ago and then installed the 
Nvidia 1.0.1251 closed source (icky) driver for some Mesa acceleration.
  Everything worked great, and I was very very
 happy.  Now I just upgraded yesterday
to the XFree86-4.1.0-4mdk release and I keep on getting 
sigfaults in kdmgreet when I try to use
  runlevel 5.  
  I thought it might have been a dependency problem, so I decided
to format another computer, install 4.1.0-4mdk, and upgrade the video driver...still
got the same problem.  Just an annoying
little bug, and I'm wondering what was changed from -3mdk to -4mdk.
  Funny thing is that KDE will boot if you use the '
startx' command, but that because kdmgreet
 isn't loading ;).
  
  
  
Same problem here, I have an ATI mobility chip.    All I have to do is kill
-HUP kdm and
it's starts up right as rain.

Re: [Cooker] why does kapm-idled spin the cpu so often?

2001-04-15 Thread Bruce F. Press

Yes, yes, we've heard this before.  It is not a satisfactory answer,
clearly the "idle" loop in kapm-idled could use a nice sleep(15) or
something!!

I can confirm that with my last Update of cooker, my behavior
is exactly the same as yours.  It was unexpected for me as well.
It was also the only Update that I chose to try XFree 3.3.6 instead
of 4.0.3.

Re: [Cooker] Cups using 95% CPU?!

2001-03-31 Thread Bruce F. Press

I'm sorry, but I just can't buy that.  Those of you on desktops
may not be able to tell, but if you're on a laptop the fan spins
up when something is chewing the CPU cycles.  This happens when
something slips into an infinite loop (like netscape!) or when
compiling (fair enough).  But a daemon in a wait, or blocking
on a select should never do this.
