Re: [Cooker] Proposal: new option for urpmi
On Sunday 16 February 2003 8:21 am, Marcel Pol wrote: *snipped cuz I have a different proposal for urpmi option* I think the changelog is a good idea, but what I propose is something a lot different, and might cause more problems. Nevertheless I think it's a decent idea. I use the synthesis files, because doing a urpmi.update of the hdlist.cz files takes quite a bit of time. I propose that there either be just a little bit more info in the synthesis files, or another intermediary file. I don't need all of the information the hdlist provides, but if I use the synthesis file I can't always tell what the cryptic name of the rpm even does... so a small description (or just the actual name of the program itself) would be in order. After years of using debian and .deb files, I know that when I would do an update of the available deb files it would download a file of less than a meg to do the update, and would still know what the requires where, what the package was, and even be able to provide about a screen of descriptions.. and the avail debs are pretty large in number too, like Mdk. -- Chuck Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I also had problems with a different network card similarly. acpi=off in lilo.conf worked on the newer kernels. Oh, and the reason it worked in 9.0 is because the 2.4.19 kernel that ships with 9.0 has acpi disabled by default. -- Chuck Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Oops, forgot to mention something here.. I also use a tulip network card and have no problems with the latest kernel, thats why I believe it's a acpi problem. The problem is very similar to my laptop which has net problems with the latest kernels. And this laptop is known to have a buggy acpi implementation. -- Chuck Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Just make sure you're running an all > Cooker system, which all good Mandrakesoft'ers do, right? :) Actually, I run all-cooker on 2 systems, but my laptop runs 9.0 kernel and everything else all-cooker. Reason is, cooker kernels seem to have broken the built-in 3c556B ethernet card on my Thinkpad A20m. Since it works, I havent bothered to kludge around it with the acpi=off option (which would probably work since the 9.0 kernel seems to not use acpi) -- Chuck Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

[Cooker] Strange happenings..
There are a couple of strange things happening. One.. my clock font changes size.. it occasionally gets too big for it's place, and when I click it, it shrinks back to it's correct size. (only does it with the LCD look, that I can tell) Two.. When I exit certain apps that I launch from the kicker, I get a msg box stating "Couldn't find executable" The most notorious of this is xsetiathome. Three.. Karchiver seems to lock Konqueror when I use it to open archives (more so when I open them inside konq than if I open karchiver first...) -- Chuck Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oh No!!
