One thing to think about in some businesses / organisations is that the amount of e-mail recieved by an individual is monitored. Hence it is impossible for some to subscibe to a list like cooker at work because the volume is truly massive. Hence if you want to include the folks who use Mandrake as a server at work, for instance, splitting the lists along sensible lines would remove that particular barrier. Best wishes, Damon

I guess the installer could see that if only one language is specified at the start, perhaps the spell-checking will be auto-installed based on locale? If there is more than one language selected, maybe the installer could explicitly suggest to the user to check out which dictionary they want to install? I suggest this thinking of someone who is somewhat ignorant and new and thinking "my gosh the spell-checking in the word processor doesn't even work and the checkbox to add it is grayed out"... they won't necessarily have the skill to know how to fix it (even though it is actually quite easy when you know where to look). But of course I agree with you that installing stuff without giving the user control is also potentially highly annoying. For instance the ViaVoice package IBM made for 7.2 / 8.0 powerpack: if you wish to run the US English version, you must set your locale as en_US even if you don't want to, because the code is set up so that if you run anything other than en_US, it just refuses to run. I think some Linux novices within IBM coded that one ;-) Kind regards, Damon

But for all others, I think it's a good idea to put the spelling packages in place automatically. The user can feel they are being taken care of, even if they have to enable it through the options ;-) That is a lot easier than trying to figure out why the option is grayed out for the new user who doesn't read package descriptions etc. Have a good day, Damon

[Cooker] Any ypbind & nfs users out there run into problems?
Hi, I'm having problems here with accessing an NFS share where I'm a member of the group but not the owner, and I'm not sure if it is a configuration problem or what. I posted to the expert list yesterday but got no answer. I'm running 9.0 final as a client to a Debian 3.0 server with 2.4.19 kernel. I'm authenticating with ypbind, and access files across the network with nfs. IP is gained via DHCP. This worked very well with 8.2, and still does with another 8.2 machine on the network. The problem: I do not have permission to view files on the nfs mount, despite me being a member of the group. I can view a file where I am the owner, i.e. my home directory on the server. Group and user IDs match on both the client and the server. I see this in dolphin's syslog: ypbind: ypbind startup succeeded On the server's syslog I see this: dhcpd: Added new forward map from devnet.int.dev-zone.org to 10.0.20.55 dhcpd: added reverse map from 55.20.0.10.in-addr.arpa to devnet.int.dev-zone.org dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.20.55 from 00:e0:4c:e0:6b:e4 via eth0 dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.20.55 to 00:e0:4c:e0:6b:e4 via eth0 dhcpd: Added new forward map from devnet.int.dev-zone.org to 10.0.20.55 dhcpd: added reverse map from 55.20.0.10.in-addr.arpa to devnet.int.dev-zone.org dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.20.55 from 00:e0:4c:e0:6b:e4 via eth0 dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.20.55 to 00:e0:4c:e0:6b:e4 via eth0 rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from devnet.int.dev-zone.org:994 for /net-drive (/net-drive) I cannot see any other relevant messages in the logs. This is in my /etc/yp.conf: domain int.dev-zone.org server 10.0.20.127 ypserver 10.0.20.127 This is exactly the same setup as the 8.2 machine. It was setup using webmin. I do note that there is a difference in the organisation of /var/lib/nfs between 8.2 and 9.0. Any suggestions as what to check? Many thanks! Damon

[Cooker] /home wiped by new RC3 install
Hi, I've never had this happen before. Just did an expert install of the "new" RC3 using the hd.img and packages in /home, and when I booted for the first time, I discovered that /home/damon had been wiped clean :-( A possible cause: I did an install onto a machine that previously did its authentication via ypbind. For this install I chose local, since I wanted a local authentication for root. I was going to convert it to ypbind after install. A second possible cause: I rm -rf .gnome*, .kde*, and .nautilus* A third possible cause: I did not run the first time wizard. I didn't see anything unusual in the logs. I'll e-mail them to Pixel anyway. I'm especially puzzled since all the packages used to install were in /home/damon Damon
RE: [Cooker] the drakfont problem/ntfs problem
I'm currently assisting Thierry to get to the bottom of this. Of course
he is the expert and I know very little... but still, we seem to be
getting somewhere ;-)
If you go like this:
[root@damon damon]# cd /tmp
[root@damon tmp]# strace -F drakfont 2> err2.txt
Before installing any fonts, be sure that you have the right to use and
install them on your system.
-You can install the fonts using the normal way. In rare cases, bogus
fonts may hang up your X Server.
Windows fonts Installation
Font(s) to Install:
/mnt/nt/winnt/fonts/8514fix.fon
/mnt/nt/winnt/fonts/8514fixg.fon
/mnt/nt/winnt/fonts/8514oem.fon
/mnt/nt/winnt/fonts/8514oemg.fon
..
and check the contents of /tmp/err2.txt (from another command line), do
you get something like this at the very end of the file? -
poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 2, 0) = 0
stat64("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/tmp/tmp",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=112, ...}) = 0
lstat64("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/tmp/tmp/8514oem.fon",
0x804b438) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/mnt/nt/winnt/fonts/8514oem.fon",
And if you then do this:
[damon@damon tmp]$ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/tmp/tmp/
[damon@damon tmp]$ ls -la
total 25
drwxr-xr-x2 root root 112 Sep 23 21:35 ./
drwxr-xr-x5 root root 120 Sep 20 10:28 ../
-r-xr-xr-x1 root root10976 Sep 23 21:35 8514fix.fon*
-r-xr-xr-x1 root root11520 Sep 23 21:35 8514fixg.fon*

Do you see the pattern as above? drakfont is dying on the 3rd font it
tries to process hopefully that kind of info will give them a head
start to solving the bug..

Hi, On my RC3, Gnome is not configured for file types xcf and gnumeric (i.e when you click on them in nautilus). I don't know about abiword since I don't use that anymore.

Not sure what you mean by that. It means ping an IP on the Internet that you know exists, by its number, not it's name. e.g. 64.85.20.123 instead of zmag.org. In my case I was able to get a client to ping a server on the Internet by IP address but not by name. > 7. server named status on firewall Sorry. Don't know what you mean.

Hello, I've had a bad time getting the Internet connection sharing going in Mandrake 9.0. Basically it worked in beta 2, but since beta 4 it doesn't work at all. Never.

System details on "server": two RTL8139; eth0 (LAN) 192.168.0.1, eth1 (cable) static IP When the "server is running 8.2, client PC connects to the Internet just fine. dhcpd and shorewall are running. relevant /var/log/messages output and service shorewall status output is attached.

[Cooker] RC2: still cannot configure soundcard using sndconfig
Hi, Have a machine here with an ISA Analog Devices AD1816. In beta 4 this could be configured using sndconfig, but in both RC1 and RC2 this does not work. sndconfig reports it as unrecognized, when in fact it can run in sound blaster emulation mode without problems. But there is no choice to configure this option. Thanks, Damon
[Cooker] RC2: Deadly conflict between NFS install and shorewall
Greetings Mandrake,
With RC2 cannot install from NFS when the NFS server has had Internet
connection sharing configured. The server almost freezes handling the
request. Everything is set to default install apart from setting up NFS
sharing, i.e. no hand tinkering to shorewall or dhcp.
My LAN details:
"Server": two network cards, one to LAN (192.168.0.1), and other to
cable modem (static IP)
Client: one network card, boot from network.img on floppy
Since DHCP was configured, the client got its IP via that.
When client goes to bring up the NFS connection, the server's mouse can
barely move because of the load. Server back to normal when the client
powered off.
I tried disabling the connection sharing and stopping the shorewall
service, but this appeared to have little effect (got the same
condition).
Well perhaps this is not "deadly" but it seems serious *grin*

[Cooker] sound (or unsound) feedback from a linux sound novice
Even though I am by no means an expert on sound in Linux, I would like to give some feedback all the same. I hope it will be of some use, to give you an idea of what a general novice might need prompting to try to do. Sound output worked right away using Release candidate one. However, I was not able to get ViaVoice Dictation for Linux to operate (the version that was included with power packs 7.2 and 8.0, using the Sun JRE instead of the IBM JRE), because it was not able to detect recorded sound through the main application. Strangely, it was able to record some kind of speech using its audio setup wizard, even that the main application would not work. Even more strangely, sound output from the audio setup wizard sounded like something short, nasty, and full of static. I'm running a Sound Blaster live. This is the relevant output of lspci: 00:11.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 03) So I figured the solution was to start draksound and see what choices it would present. It mentioned that there was a choice between Alsa and OSS drivers. However, it presented two choices in the drop down box: audigy() and emu10k1(). It didn't mention anything in these choices about Alsa or OSS, which I found confusing. When I tried to select emu10k1, I noticed on the command line output that the existing mixer could not be shut down, because another process was using it (it turned out to be the Gnome mixer). It seemed to be indicating that Alsa's mixer was running. So I logged out of gnome, hit ctrl-alt-f1, and logged in as root. I ran draksound from the command line, chose the second option, logged out, hit ctrl-alt-f7, and logged back into Gnome. I assume it must have loaded a different driver, because ViaVoice Dictation for Linux now works (luckily for me). Perhaps there is a bug with recording under Alsa, or else ViaVoice Dictation is just not compatible with it. Anyway, sound now works for what I need it to do. I'm a bit concerned that draksound needs a warning of some sort to say that maybe it should be run when not the user is logged into a gui and that all applications using sound shout not be running (and perhaps explain how to do that for a newbie). I hope this has been of minor assistance in making the version of Mandrake the best yet! Thanks very much. Damon

You've got a few major problems there:
"option routers" is presumably picked up from your default gateway
setting. I'm guessing you've got two network cards: one internal and one
external (or possibly a dial-up link etc in place of the external).
Yes you are correct, I have two network cards (one internal, the other
to my cable modem).
If
so, then you need to set "option routers 192.168.0.x;" so that clients on
the internal network use your box as the default gateway. You will also
need to set up IP forwarding, iptables etc.
I didn't set up those other things yet. But I did change "routers" to
192.168.0.1 (the IP address of this machine internally).
This is a change from what the GUI suggested.
You also need to set "option domain-name-servers" to something reasonable.
Since 127.0.0.1 appears in your list, I'm assuming that your box is
running a DNS server, in which case probably best to set "option
domain-name-servers 192.168.0.x;" as with "option routers" (note - no-one
else can access your box as 127.0.0.1! :-)
Ok, I just left the DNS of the ISP I use, since as far as I know I don't
run DNS (maybe that was an artifact on the internet connection sharing I
had earlier set up?).

If you're using Etherboot 5.0.7 or greater, then the declaration is
unnecessary; 5.0.7+ will automatically pick up the correct .nbi image
file based on the PCI ID of the network card that they boot from.
Ok, but that is what the GUI setup based on the values I gave. I didn't
change that.
Unfortunately the client can still not boot. It get's TX setup timeout,
then .TX timeout!
BTW if this is better discussed off list (since I'm clearly not an
expert on these matters and this discussion may be of no use to the
developers), then that's fine with me :-)

[Cooker] cannot configure AD1816 ISA soundcard
Hi, Before in beta4 if you ran sndconfig it was at least possible to tell it that the soundblaster driver could be used. Now that option has been removed. At least, when you click Ok after it says that the detected card does not have a driver, the program appears to exit abnormally (Ctl-C kills it). Damon
[Cooker] Hard freeze upon nfs access from nfs install
Hi, My Mdk 9 RC1 locks up when I try to do an nfs install via dhcp from another machine via boot floopy. DHCP correctly assigns and IP to the client. When the nfs path is specified on the client installer (and enter is hit), the server locks up. (Just to be clear, the server is running RC1, and the client installer is also RC1). This may have something to do with the fact that I uninstalled clusternfs, and reinstalled nfs-utils when I was not able to get the terminal server packages working. Furthermore, I also used the internet connection sharing wizard after I had removed the terminal server package. This installing and uninstalling of packages like nfs and clusternfs may have messed something up, but I don't expect hard lock ups :-) There is nothing in the messages log file to indicate the problem. The contents of /etc/exports is: #/etc/exports - generated by drakTermServ #/ (ro,all_squash) #/home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash) /home/damon/export *(ro) Thanks, Damon

To be honest I don't know what the setting routers means. I guess it
got that from my static IP address, which ends in another number, not 1.
This is the contents of /etc/dhcpd.conf.etherboot.clients:

I've seen this, even manually running the initscript. Clusternfs seems to

The middle one above is the closest, depending on you network setup.
Ok, I have now manually copied the good one into /etc/exports

/home should be rw for your subnet. The last one you listed above looks
like the subnet info got dropped - probably a bug on my part. Is there no
plain /etc/exports?
Yes sorry, that last file of the 3 listed above was /etc/exports
I have manually restarted dhcpd and clusternfs, but still the client
cannot detect the dhcpd client.
A Davicom 9102 card uses the Tulip driver for etherboot right?
Thanks!

Re: [Cooker] RC1: Terminal server install routine broken
Hi again, After creating symbolic links in /lib/modules/ to 2.4.19-7mdk, I was able to install terminal server. However I cannot get it to run. There are two problems: 1. When clicking on "Start Server" from the config GUI I get: Starting dhcpd: Starting ClusterNFS (rpc.mountd): [ OK ] Starting ClusterNFS (rpc.nfsd): [ FAIL ] 2. Perhaps related, the client machine cannot find the DHCP server and says ".TX Timeout!" when trying to boot. These are the contents of the export config files: exports.terminal-server: # Exports file for diskless workstation support using ClusterNFS # $Id: exports,v 1.1 2002/04/24 14:17:50 mcb30 Exp $ / (ro,all_squash) exports.mdkTS: #/etc/exports - generated by drakTermServ / (ro,all_squash) /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash) #/etc/exports - generated by drakTermServ / (ro,all_squash) /home /(rw,root_squash) Thanks, Damon

[Cooker] 9b4: Confusing message when changing screen resolution
Greetings! When changing screen resolution via drakconf, it gives the message something like "you need to restart kwin". This seems quite confusing for newbies. Perhaps it would be better to say "You need to log out of X windows for changes to take effect" Thanks, Damon
[Cooker] urpmi always expects a CD to be present in DVD-ROM drive
Hi, For some reason whenever I run urpmi, it probes the DVD drive for a CD before it seems to do anything else, even if I'm only installing a file from the current directory that has no dependencies. Since my DVD drive takes a long time to report "hey there is no CD in this drive", I'm wondering why urpmi needs to do that :-) Thanks, Damon
[Cooker] Kate wordwrap mangled
Hello hard-working Mandrake folks, When using Kate 2.0 under beta 2 (with word wrap on), editing of a text files is practically impossible because the text flow is corrupted by the adjustments Kate makes for word wrap. It works fine if you type straight from start to finish without going back to make editing adjustments. But as soon as you go to a previous line and insert text watch out ;-) Changing the value at which the text should be wrapped (e.g. from 72 to 80) causes loss of a non-trivial amount of text. Thanks, Damon

[Cooker] Suggestion for install routine
Hi again Mandrake developers, Here is a possible option during install: "Would you like to save all the packages from the installation CDs on your hard drive (will use x.x GB)?" With massive hard drives these days it is often convenient to save the contents of the CDs locally and get rpmdrake to use these packages, and not from the CDs. That's what I do now. It would save a bit of messing around if this step was automated during install. Furthermore you could also ask: "When security updates and bug fixes are downloaded, should these packages be stored locally after installation for possible future use?" You could ask that question when a source is setup. These would be nice but of course you know the priorities a lot better than many of us, so it's up to you :-) Damon
