[Cooker] Mandrake Vs. HP Pavilion zd7020 laptop!
Hi List! I have the short term use of a Hewlett Packard Pavilion zd7020 laptop computer! Of course, the first thing I did was join the club so I could bit-torrent the 9.2 version of Mandrake. The install went smoothly, but I note the following problems: ntfsresize could not re-size the win XP partition. There was an error about the cluster accounting. I'm sorry, but I forgot to write down the exact error. Configuirng the wide-screen display required manual editing of the XF86Config-4 file. I used the win-XP reported 1440x900 resolution and 60Hz refresh to compute the correct display mode using the modeline calculator that I found here: http://www.zaph.com/Modeline/ I used the defaults for everything but the screen's native resolution. The sound system does not seem to work properly. When a sound plays (through the ALSA driver, I have not tried others) only extremely angry noise comes from the speakers. The audio system is reported as 82801EB AC'97 Audio in the Mandrake Control Center. I have not had a chance to try the DVD+RW/CDRW combo drive as a writer under linux. ( borrowed 3 discs to write the linux cds under winxp...) The 4-way didgital media reader does not appear to work, though I have not investigated it deeply. The scroll-wheel touch-pad does not detect properly during install, but when re-configured afterward it works fine, though the scroll-wheel is too sensitive in the default condition. I only have access to this machine for another week! PLEASE tell me what diagnostics to run, and I will post the results to the web. This is a nice enough system, that I will probably buy a similar model, but I thought should get as much info from it as possible while I could. please advise!

[Cooker] Xine causes hard lockup.
Hi list, I have a problem with xine on an hp zt1170 laptop. When I launch xine, regardless of command-line or from menus, the xine window appears, and the GUI with it, but the system no longer responds to any input nor to probe from the network. I have tried using different audio output plugins, and with different window managers (KDE and blackbox) and with several different kernels, including 2.4.18-13mdk, 2.4.18-16mdk, and custom compiled kernels (with additional ACPI patching) based on those kernels. I can provide little other information. The system is all-cooker, and otherwise works flawlessly (I have to add some patches to mdk kernels to make the sound work with kernel driver, but otherwise, everything seems to work well.) I have the following xine packages installed: [root@localhost chas]# rpm -qa | grep xine libxine0.9.9-docs-0.9.9-1mdk xine-plugins-0.9.10-2mdk xine-d5d-0.2.4-3plf xinetd-2.3.5-1mdk xine-alsa5-0.9.8-4mdk libxine0.9.8-0.9.8-4mdk xine-oss-0.9.10-2mdk libxine0-0.9.10-2mdk xine-dvdnav-0.9.9-2mdk libxine0.9.9-devel-0.9.9-1mdk libxine0.9.9-0.9.9-1mdk xine-alsa-0.9.10-2mdk xine-plugins-win32-0.9.10-1plf xine-plugins-divx4-0.9.10-1plf xine-plugins-xvid-0.9.10-1plf xine-ui-0.9.10-1mdk xine-arts-0.9.10-2mdk [root@localhost chas]# +-% He's a real UNIX Man $-+--+ | Sitting in his UNIX LAN | Charles A.

Re: [Cooker] Kernel ACPI support
I know it isa dead horse for the officials, but for anyone who wants to
test it, I have put this on my web page:
http://www.physics.unr.edu/cshirley/acpi-20020404-2.4.18-13mdk+xt1000.diff.gz
I made a mistake when I created the patch, the directory it expects to
patch is called linux-2.4.18-13mdk-cshirley, but for such a patch, I think
it may be sane to keep a seperate tree any-way. (it is 84319 lines long
patch) (And I didn't realize until I had uploaded it...)
I am running a resultant kernel right now, and so-far it isn't crashing...
But on the other hand, the acpid still does not load... I may continue
looking, but for now, since my sound is working, I won't be worrying about
it... :^)

[Cooker] Kernel ACPI support
Hello Cooker! I'm playing with compiling in ACPI support into the Mandrake kernel, and I patched the 2.4.18-13mdk kernel source with the acpi-20020404 from the ACPI project at sourceforg, and another small patch for improved support on my laptop (hp zt-1170) For the most part, the acpi patch went in fine, but I had to hand-merge a few chunks. I was able to compile bzImage just fine, but when I tried to make modules, I got about a zillion pages of errors, mostly relating to cdrom and floppy modules. I switch floppy support to a built in (even though I don't have a floppy disk) and was still unable to compile the modules. I had trouble believing that I could compile in floppy support, but not compile it as a moodule, so I tried compiling from un-molested 2.4.18-13mdk source, using the .config file from my patched source, and that failed to build the modules as well: acpi_serial.c: In function `setup_serial_acpi': acpi_serial.c:139: `ACPI_SERIAL_CONSOLE_PORT' undeclared (first use in this function) acpi_serial.c:139: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once acpi_serial.c:139: for each function it appears in.) acpi_serial.c:143: `ACPI_SERIAL_DEBUG_PORT' undeclared (first use in this function) make[3]: *** [acpi_serial.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-13mdk/drivers/char' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-13mdk/drivers/char' make[1]: *** [_subdir_char] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-13mdk/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2 [root@localhost linux-2.4.18-13mdk]# So, I am curious if there are problems known about compiling some things as modules rather than built-in? I can supply a list of items I selected for modular compilation, if there is interest. -Chuck. +-% He's a real UNIX Man $-+------+ | Sitting in his UNIX LAN | Charles A.

In fact, www.Powerleap.com will sell you an accellerator for your UP P-Pro machine using a coppermine celeron processor past 700 MHz, and a PPGA celeron up to 533 MHz for Dual processor systems. So, as long as i686 optimization doesn't include MMX, etc, I think making the SMP kernels i686 optimized is a good move. I think i486 had better SMP support than classic Pentium, and none of the Pentium clones had any. Best Regards, Chuck Shirley

[Cooker] Bastille Firewall Kaput.
After upgrading from kernel 2.4.4-1 (smp) to 2.4.5-1 (also smp) I noticed that I was running around showing my ports off for the whole world to see. So, I issued: [root@localhost chas]# /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall status iptables v1.2.2: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Module is wrong version Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. issueing with "start" results in pages of the same. Presumably as the scripts attempt to apply the filters to the malfunctive iptables. At this time, I cannot tell if the problem lies with the kernel modules (they are loaded) or with the ip-tables program, or it's configuration. There is also the fact that the "tinyfirewall" as accessed from DrakConf is reporting that iptables and Bastille are not installed, even though they are both installed. Odd, things were working well enough with 2.4.4-1. I noticed that others have reported the same symptoms over the last few weeks. How did you all solve the problem?

Not to sound crass, but if trodding the razors edge is that important, then why not do your own builds?

Re: [Cooker] vi problems
I noticed the same thing. I figured they just forgot to tell the shell what to send as the erase character. I'm a bit of an old-timer, so typing ^H when doesn't work is automatic for me, like using h-j-k-l when the "arrow-keys" don't work. If you issue this : # stty erase ^? ( that would be <6> )To the shell, things seem to work normally again. You could probably stick that your shell profile as well, to make it automatic.

Re: [Cooker] winmodem? 8.0?
I have that USR PCI voice/fax/modem iin my system. It works great. With the 2.2.x Kernel series, I had to run setserial on it to associate the hardware parameters to the device special file, but with 2.4.x, it just works auto-magickally. The only thing that threw me was the fact that it gets called /dev/ttyS4, but now Mandrake finds it, and I don't even have to worry about that. As for using an external modem, what about folks (like me) who have other stuff to do with their serial ports (exempli gratis: Palm cradle and UPS?) -Charles Thus spake Hoyt, on Sunday 20 May 2001 15:05. > On Sunday 20 May 2001 02:06 pm, Gary Lawrence Murphy wrote: > > USR makes a very nice PCI voice/fax modem that works with Linux; > > you need to do some fiddling with the serial ports to make it work > > (see the Modem-HOWTO) but otherwise it works fine. > > > > The key is to get the "hardware modem" which retails for about $120 > > and not the "software modem" that retails for about half that amount. > > If you are going to spend that amount of money on a modem, purchase an > external serial-port modem.

[Cooker] XMMS Segfaults with aRts output driver
Howdy, I've tried getting a response for this from other means (bugs.xmms.org (bug 73), qa.mandrakesoft.com (bug 3637)) to no avail. The response I got from qa.mandrakesoft.com was "You are using an alpha version of KDE. Sorry." Well, of course it is, I marked "Cooker" as the Mandrake version in the bug report, and was trying to report a bug in the system. Isn't that the idea? So here goes: When running Xmms with the aRts output driver, Xmms segfaults with the following error: > bash-2.05$ xmms > MCOP ObjectManager: can't find implementation for Arts::X11GlobalComm. > > Segmentation fault > > You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit > http://www.xmms.org/bugs and fill out a bug report. > > Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x1ad8d)! > > Segmentation fault > > You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit > http://www.xmms.org/bugs and fill out a bug report. This occurs after the second mp3 file finishes playing. The first and second files to be played play without problems. Manually advancing through the playlist produces the same result. Length of the mp3 file does not affect the result. All seems well when using the OSS output driver. Other file types haven't been tested.

I was able to prevent it by removing all of the channel definitions in the configuration file. Also, when I have a PCI network card installed, I get sound, but no picture from xawtv. I need to do more testing on this. I suspect that it may have to do with SMP, similar to trouble sometimes encountered with PCI sound cards on dual processor machines Cheers! -Charles
[Cooker] Imwheel, Aurora installed by default?
Hello. I'm sure that both Imwheel and the Aurora boot monitor are very nice applications, but imwheel actually reduces the functionality of the IMPS/2 (M$ !ntellimouse) within KDE. Aurora is pretty, but a bit more logic should be used when installing it by default. I chose Lilo-Textmode boot loader and No X on startup. So that is Two votes for text-mode start-up, with Pretty Aurora in the middle, keeping me from reading my boot messages. Both are easily fixed, but a bit inconvenient Cheers!, -Charles
[Cooker] Konqueror 2.2alpha1 SIGSEVs
Hi all,
I just ran into this problem today. When trying to visit a heavily
shockwaved site (www.joecartoon.com) SIGSEVs. After installing
netscape-common, netscape-communicator, and kdebase-nsplugins, the problem
persisted. I tested the website with Netscape, and it reported absence of
the Shockwave-Flash plugin. After downloading and installing the plug-in
from Macromedia, the problem is resolved, the website loads, and Konquereor
did not SIGSEV. (yae!) Is that plug-in not included in the distribution due
to legal reasons, or other reasons?
Summary:
Problem:Konqueror 2.2alpha1 SIGSEVs visiting shockwave site.
Solution:
Attempt 1: Install nestcape-{common,communicator}-4.77-4mdk
Install kdebase-nsplugins-2.2-0.alpha1.5mdk
Result 1: Problem persists.
Attempt 2: D/L and install Shockwave-Flash player from Macromedia
Result 2: Problem (seemingly) Resolved.
Status: Further tesing pending.

There is some other software that must be upgraded to migrate from the 2.2.x to the 2.4.x kernel series, and there are a few little details that may have to be chased down, but the address below contains information on the software that must be upgraded to run the 2.4.x kernel series on a machine previously running 2.2.x. http://cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/kaboom/linux/Changes-2.4/changes24-index.html Cheers, and good luck! -- Charles
