 Very maturely written, and this points to an estimate for what a newbie wants 
 to function in a testing of Mdk. AFAIK it ought to be:
 1)drivers for graphics
 2)drivers for sound
 3)drivers for java
 4)drivers for realplayer
 5)drivers for flash
 
 To my understanding Mdk has decided that these services should only be at grip 
 for users that buy packs from Mdk. So any user testing Mdk by downloading the 
 installation will only find obstacles forced on them by the economic 
 situation not because Mdk is difficult to use.
 I think you may have a problem here.
 
 You could make a 'HOWTO' that explains this.

Java, RealPlayer, flash, Nvidia drivers/plugins etc are not open source
software, so one just cannot distribute them on freely available isos,
while Mandrakesoft can sign an agreement with their vendor to distribute
them in their distribution. And this is true for any Linux distribution.

 - the audio level is much reduced than it should be 
 - white noise covers the true audio making it nearly inaudible 
 
the instructions on

- microphone is muted with no effect on things

- audio being output in one piece means that there is no corruption to the audio 
that 
should be playing itself, albeit at reduced volume levels and behind a wall of white

 And i have nothing interesting in ~/.xsession-errors

 It's incredible how easily I can break gnome ( nfs bugs - gconfd

I am facing exactly the same problem at work, with the same configuration

all the preference files and then it works fine: I was not used to do that

 May you give your opinion on :

 Too many major bugs remained in the betas before rc's were started. 
 IMHO, betas need to start a little bit earlier with priority given to 
 the installer, the various means of installing and urpmi. One of the 
 major problems was mirrors, as most everyone will agreed, and anything 
 that can be done to improve that situation should be done.

I do like the way it is done for Eclipse:

locally too. Even though the display is completely hozed, if I wait a
minute or so, I'll here the KDE startup sound, noting that it has logged
into KDE.

As for the data requested (most of this was in a previous email. Is
there something wrong with the list?):

Re: Strange video problem with 9.1 beta2

2003-02-18 Thread Daniel Segall
Well the fbdev driver made my display stop melting, and just goes
black instead. I'm not sure what you mean with the benh kernel. I
checked your page, and I see the RPM's. Can I simply install these RPM's
(if so which ones exactly)? How will these work when I have to boot from
BootX? I don't mind reinstalling if need be. It goes surprisingly fast
on this old beast.

Sorry, I'm kinda new to the PPC side of things. The last time I
installed PPC Linux, was SuSE, and it just worked. Now that I think
about it, I had tried installing mdk 8.2 on this machine long ago, and
gave up due to similar problems.

 OK sorry.  Maybe I missed part of the other message.  This machine does do
 1024x768 right? Things I would probably try:
 
 change ati to fbdev in XF86Config-4
 try passing video= arguments to the kernel at boot
 try the benh-mdk kernel, instead of the stock mandrake one 
 
 Were you able to do a graphical install?  Looking through the old messages
 it looks like yes?  You could, if necessary, fall back to using Xpmac.  It
 would be better though to use XFree4 in fbdev mode if it works.

 Hi,
 I just bought one of these new iBooks (800Mhz, 14.1 inch screen).
 Very nice indeed. However - beeing a Linux/Unix user I had to
 try Linux on this machine. I started with debian.
 
 It does not get the swedish keyboard right. I tried everything

 So, next was Mandrake Linux PPC, 9.1beta2.
 It does get the keyboard configured so as to let me use the
 national characters in a comprehensible way but I can't
 figure out the hidden stuff like {, [, ], } et.c.
 

As another Swedish ibook user I found out by accident that you get AltGr
functionality by pressing Fn (lower left corner) and Alt. A more
comfortable solution in the long run is to remap alt-gr to the enter key
I followed the instructions over at
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/keyboard_swedish.shtml

Good luck!

 Also, the ATI Radeon Mobile 7500 is not well configured.
 There are spurious stripes running all over the screen
 and I imagine that it might come from a too old radeon
 driver. I think I can fix the radeon driver, but
 I am sure that the keyborad stuff is over my head.
 

Problems such as this usually gets fixed eventually by the XFree86 team.

Strange video problem with 9.1 beta2

2003-02-15 Thread Daniel Segall
Hi Stew et all,
I just completed the installation of beta2 on my old lombard pb.
Installation was smooth as can be, not a single problem. However, when I
try to boot into linux through BootX, it's not bringing up any video.
The boot process looks fine, all modules load succesfully, and all
devices seem to be found. But after the init, it tries to go into KDM
and just gives me a black screen. I am unable to switch to another term
(might be me using the wrong keys, I'm an x86 guy usually), or do
anything really. If I boot from the generic vmlinuz without any initrd,
KDM comes up fine, and I can login to KDE. However, none of the modules
are loaded of course, and it's basically rendered useless.

I have tried several different kernel options for video, but none seem
to make a difference. during install I used video=atyfb:vmode:14. I have
of course copied the vmlinuz  initrd files from the cd into my system
folder/linux kernels/.

Any ideas to help me get under way would be greatly appreciated.

time i install a new rpm, all the files which are
overwritten are stored in /var/cache/urpmi/temp or
something like that. so I could do so :

there is already A2.0
urpmi --safe A2.1.rpm

urpmi overwrites some files from A2.0 but store them
in /var/cache/urpmi/temp

the programm A2.1 brings everyting so I want to have
my old configuration again. so I do :

urpmi --recover 

and everything is just like befor the update of A2.0.

  urpmi --safe A2.1.rpm
  
  urpmi overwrites some files from A2.0 but store
 them
  in /var/cache/urpmi/temp
  
  the programm A2.1 brings everyting so I want to
 have
  my old configuration again. so I do :
  
  urpmi --recover 
  
  and everything is just like befor the update of
 A2.0. 
  That would give really a safe impression to the
 user !
 
 You can do urpmi A2.0 (if it still exists of course)
 and you get back
 the package...


but old package are allways deleted in cooker. and ..
.then I install a *lot* of software, and something
break, I dont not know, what it was . so, an urpmi
--safe would be nice.

[Cooker] Propositions for rpmdrake

2002-11-26 Thread daniel beck
 rpmdrake and urpmi is really a nice add value. Its
allmost the main raison, why I use mandrake . There
are a few things, I thing, that could be nice to
implement 

- something like : silence donwload and install. A lot
of people use cooker, I remember a poll on mandrake
forum where something like 40 % from the people use
cooker. So, everytime, I update my system, but it
takes all memory and brandwith  , and I can do nothing
else :-/ . Could also be  nice  to update the system
with a deamon. Was just a little idea

- the pop pups from rpmdrake are after all not *so*
bad, and they are in fact easy to understand. but,
then downloading softare from plf, there are allways
lots of poppups, and I must stay in front of the
monitor, and allway click : yes, I want to install (I
know, its because I didn't downloaded the key...). But
would be nice to have a :  yes for all button. 

- then I update software from cooker, and  one package
failed, I have to start all again. Ok, its nice that
the package are stored in /var/cache, but it would be 
even nicer if, then i download 2 softare A and B, and 
the download from software A fails, Software B has
nothing to do with A (no dependencies), that urpmi
installs Software A

- I want to be able to acces with urpmi mirrors, which
are protected with username/passwort (or does that
already work?)

ook, bye !

 Popups? What if you were to use the command line? Is

yes .. I also normaly use the commandline, but
sometimes I want to use rpmdrake because its easier to
select every package I want. And its  really annoying
allways to click : yes, I really want to install that
package. sometime I install something like 200
package, and it would be nice if then I could go out
.. .and when I come back, everything is installed.

yes ... that must be done ...

oh .,.. good, I didnt know that :-). again, urpmi is

[Cooker] nvidia driver + cooker

2002-06-09 Thread daniel beck

hi ! 
I use cooker with the standart kernel 2.18-19. I
wanted to install the driver from nvidia, but there is
no way installing the src.rpm. there is also no way
compiling the NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz.I always got :
make install
  

You appear to be compiling the NVdriver kernel module
with 
a compiler different from the one that was used to
compile 
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but
there  
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour
and  
system crashes.   

  

If you know what you are doing and want to override
this   
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.   

  

In any other case, set the CC environment variable to
the  
name of the compiler that was used to compile the
kernel.  
  

*** Failed cc sanity check. Bailing out! ***
make: *** [gcc-check] Fehler 1

I use gcc3.1.1-0.2, and I thought the kernel was
compiled with gcc3. Can someone perhaps package an rpm
file for nvidia(plf perhabs?)

 - module not loaded ?
 - sound get played but nothing can be heard ?
 - ...

  have you any usefull error message ? what
lspcidrake

 work, we can switch modules if
 one works better that the other for your card.
   I don't know what's the matter, I hope it will
be
 fix for mandrake 8.2
  final. oh, yeah, one thing : my card worked in
 Mandrake 8.1, but the volume
  was to low ...  so I didn't notice it. and I had
 to adjust the sound EVERYTIME
  I started linux ... because everytime I reboot
 linux, the sound was again not

  if you enable *both* sound  alsa service, the

[Cooker] my Ensonique 97 card

2002-02-01 Thread daniel beck

Hi ! 
I downloaded the new mandrake 8.2 beta , and everyting
(CD-Burner, T-DSL connection,Zip-drive...) worked well
for me,  without my soundcard. I've got a Ensonique 97
based card. Mandake detected the card, but It doesn't
work. So I tried to compile the kernel my self, and I
got this : 
drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o: In function
`es1371_probe':

»/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-10mdk«
make: *** [vmlinux] Fehler 2

So I don't know what is the matter, I tried
everything. The sound card worked  on Mandrake 8.1,
but you couldn't hear it : I had always to us kmixer
(at EVERY start) of kde, to fix it. after I found,
that using aumix fix this problem. but It would be
nice to set the volume (so as in suse) at the
installation. Or u have to set the volume from
Ensonique cards higher .

:-) I know my english is bad ! and im a newbie! so
don't be to strong !

worked in Mandrake 8.1, but the volume was to low ...
so I didn't notice it. and I had to adjust the sound
EVERYTIME I started linux ... because everytime I
reboot linux, the sound was again not audible :-(( 
(ok, I know, my english is bad! and I'm  newbye,

  I downloaded the new mandrake 8.2 bea, and
 everything

 what's your problem :
 
 - xmms (or whatever you use) saying it cannot open
 /dev/dsp ?
 - module not loaded ?
 - sound get played but nothing can be heard ?
 - ...

when I start kde, there's a window saying : cannot

 have you any usefull error message ? what lspcidrake
 report for your card: alsa
 or oss module ? try the other one if one doesn't
 work, we can switch modules if
 one works better that the other for your card.
 
  I don't know what's the matter, I hope it will be
 fix for mandrake 8.2

 if you enable *both* sound  alsa service, the sound

[Cooker] glibc-2.2.4-2mdk--memcpy reads from destination.

2001-09-04 Thread Daniel Kobras

Moi!

I'm one of the upstream developers of the audio editor glame. We've
received bug reports from a Mandrake user indicating segfaults in
code that looks completely sane and works fine on other distributions.
Now, we believe we've tracked it down to the libc Mandrake uses,
specifically the version of memcpy:

Dump of assembler code for function memcpy:
0x888e0 memcpy:   push   %edi
0x888e1 memcpy+1: push   %esi
0x888e2 memcpy+2: mov0xc(%esp,1),%edi
0x888e6 memcpy+6: mov0x10(%esp,1),%esi
0x888ea memcpy+10:mov0x14(%esp,1),%ecx

src is in esi, dest in edi. ecx contains the length.

0x888ee memcpy+14:mov%edi,%eax
0x888f0 memcpy+16:cld
0x888f1 memcpy+17:cmp$0x20,%ecx
0x888f4 memcpy+20:jbe0x8894c memcpy+108
0x888f6 memcpy+22:neg%eax
0x888f8 memcpy+24:and$0x3,%eax
0x888fb memcpy+27:sub%eax,%ecx
0x888fd memcpy+29:xchg   %eax,%ecx
0x888fe memcpy+30:repz movsb %ds:(%esi),%es:(%edi)
0x88900 memcpy+32:mov%eax,%ecx
0x88902 memcpy+34:sub$0x20,%ecx
0x88905 memcpy+37:js 0x88945 memcpy+101
0x88907 memcpy+39:mov(%edi),%eax
0x88909 memcpy+41:mov0x1c(%edi),%edx

memcpy+39 is where our user hits the segfaults. Indeed these two mov
instructions look bogus. They read from the destination address, which
will obviously bomb out if you memcpy to a region that's mmap()ed
PROT_WRITE-only (as glame does quite often).

0x8890c memcpy+44:sub$0x20,%ecx
0x8890f memcpy+47:mov(%esi),%eax
0x88911 memcpy+49:mov0x4(%esi),%edx

Here the results of the reads above are discarded. If there are side-effects
that might qualify as valid optimisations, I fail to see them. To me, it
looks much more like a bug in Mandrake's libc.

0x88914 memcpy+52:mov%eax,(%edi)
0x88916 memcpy+54:mov%edx,0x4(%edi)
0x88919 memcpy+57:mov0x8(%esi),%eax
0x8891c memcpy+60:mov0xc(%esi),%edx
0x8891f memcpy+63:mov%eax,0x8(%edi)
0x88922 memcpy+66:mov%edx,0xc(%edi)
0x88925 memcpy+69:mov0x10(%esi),%eax
0x88928 memcpy+72:mov0x14(%esi),%edx
0x8892b memcpy+75:mov%eax,0x10(%edi)
0x8892e memcpy+78:mov%edx,0x14(%edi)
0x88931 memcpy+81:mov0x18(%esi),%eax
0x88934 memcpy+84:mov0x1c(%esi),%edx
0x88937 memcpy+87:mov%eax,0x18(%edi)
0x8893a memcpy+90:mov%edx,0x1c(%edi)
0x8893d memcpy+93:lea0x20(%esi),%esi
0x88940 memcpy+96:lea0x20(%edi),%edi
0x88943 memcpy+99:jns0x88909 memcpy+41
0x88945 memcpy+101:   add$0x20,%ecx
0x88948 memcpy+104:   mov0xc(%esp,1),%eax
0x8894c memcpy+108:   repz movsb %ds:(%esi),%es:(%edi)
0x8894e memcpy+110:   pop%esi

Re: [Cooker] Too many unneeded packages

2001-08-28 Thread Daniel Woods

 Granted, gphoto2 is only 70k, libgphoto2 only 515k and efax is only some
 200k in size - but this adds up!

Not just that, but from a security point of view, the less stuff installed,
the less chance of being r00ted.  After all, if a vulnerability is later
found in a package you don't even use, a local or remote exploit won't
make you a happy camper.  However, a reported vulnerability for a package
you do NOT have installed can simply be ignored by you.

Thanks... Dan.

Re: [Cooker] rebuilding the kernel rpm for a athlon based system...

I had to modify his directions, but i kinda got it to work...It's still
insisting on building a .i686 rpm not a .athlon RPM I figured out how to
force a .athlon RPM, but when I go to install it, I get "incompatable
architecture"... ??? I got a Socket A 1GHz Thunderbird, if that's not a
Athlon, I don't know what is...lol

Anyhow, can someone jump in and help [us] out?  Is Mandrake not Athlon savvy
yet or ?? Why is my system a i686 instead of a "Athlon"??? And, before
someone goes jumping my back about "its the same thing" go look in
/usr/src/RPM/RPMS and you'll see a "athlon" directory and a "i686"
directory... Why the Athlon directory then??  TIA

Re: [Cooker] network script has error

2001-04-12 Thread Daniel McKee

I also had the same error... It had to do with the network, not mount. (-e
invalid option).  What I had to do to fix it, was to manually go into my
/etc/init.d/network and search for the "-e" and change it to a "-n".  Now I
don't get that annoying error when it says "starting network".  One of the
upgrades of initscripts or sysctl (which is what the real error is coming
from, the network init.d script is calling "sysctl -e -p ...blahblahblah",
you have to change it to"sysctl -n -p blahblahblah") changed the sysctl
command, but didn't update the script, so it would give a constant error on
bootup Hope this helps...

[Cooker] help: ext2 superblock disk problems

2001-04-08 Thread Daniel Woods

It appears I screwed up a LM7.1 campus production server
by trying to add a windows partition for backup purposes
with PowerQuest Drive Image 3.  At first I created ok at
the end of the disk, and DI3 saw that but would not write
the image file (of Linux partitions) to that C: drive.

I copied the contents of /dev/hda6 (/var) and /dev/hda7
(var/lib) to a scratch partition (/dev/hda10). Then
I used a win98 bootup disk, and Partition Magic 5 to
delete those partitions as a merged FAT32 partition.
When I tried to reboot, it complained about a kernel panic
with no init= set, and suggested passing it to Grub/Lilo.

I am able to win98 boot into it, however even the LM7.1
bootup disk did not work (same error as regular bootup).
I booted up with Tom's Root Boot disk, and I can mount
the windows partition, but none of the Linux ones.
I tried to mount the /boot partition with...
  # mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
  EXT2-fs: 03:0a:  couldn't mount because of unsupported
  optional features.
  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
  /dev/hda1 or too many mounted filesystems.

I then tried...
  # e2fsck /dev/hda1
  Filesystem has unsupported features.
  The superblock could not be read or does not describe
  a correct superblock. Try using a different superblock
  size such as:[-b 8193]

Still no luck.

Ok, so using PM5 after I initially created the partitions
with 'fdisk' was not a smart move (in hindsight), but
how do I fix that now ?
Is there another utility that could help ?
Other suggestions ?

Thanks... Dan.






[Cooker] Compiling kernel-2.4.3-8mdk.src.rpm on a Athlon Tbird

2001-04-07 Thread Daniel McKee

Hi all, got a stupid question... When I try to do a "rpm --rebuild
kernel-2.4.3-8mdk.src.rpm" on my cooker system, i get a "config.i686" not
found error, and sure enough there is a "config.i586" file in the sources
directory (after the src rpm unpacks to compile), but no other config
files How do I get it to compile without doing a "cp config.i586
config.i686" and tweaking some of the options (including the i686=y)...
Also, isn't there a "Athlon" arch option? or is it just i686??? I see
athlon listed in the makeconfig for the normal sources to the kernel
How do I compile a Athlon optimized kernel from src rpm???

 Hi Cookers!
 
 In my company, we're going to install some Linux servers, which will be

 I'm going to be asked which distribution we should choose.  Obviously I'd
 want to take Mandrake and most certainly not SuSE which is also close to
 being taken.  Could somebody provide me with some "manager-compatible"
 arguments that would back my suggestion?
 Important arguments would be:
 
   - Acceptance in the USA
   - Available support contracts
   - Number of Mandrake knowledgable people
   - Technical issues
   - Standards conformance
   - ??
   - Ease of use
   - Anything else?
 
 Now, Ease of Use is clearly a big advantage of Mandrake.  How about all
 those other things?

I've never tried SuSE, but I've used Slackware and RedHat for a
long time. These are my favourite things about Mandrake:

Security - it's got a secure default installation, and they issue
security advisories (and the associated update) very often, more often
than, say, RedHat.
A "minor" feature but one that I like a lot is that it ships with
postfix (of course, you can install postfix on any distro).
Hardware support - it's the distro that recognizes most hardware.
Easy installation - despite its bugs, the installer is the best
I've seen.

Good luck on your advocating! (I'm also trying to convince my boss
to replace RH with Mandrake)

2001-04-03 Thread Daniel Serodio

I'm using LM 7.2 + a few cooker updates (including rpm-4.0-22mdk),
and when I run MandrakeUpdate it says "MandrakeUpdate: error while loading
shared libraries: /usr/lib/librpm.so.0: undefined symbol: fdio" and bails
out. How can I fix it? TIA

 So how do you change the number of lines you can scroll back and

Sorry? Can you elaborate? I could never scroll console, with or
without frambuffer.
  
   SHIFT+PageUp / PageDown scrolls the console.
  
 
  Hey, that would be really useful - but it doesn't do it on my box.
 
 
 Nor does it here. Hence I was a bit surprised.

It works, but if you change consoles (Alt+F1, etc) it "forgets" the
scroll buffer of the previous console.

[Cooker] Re: [Xpert]Why do fonts rendered with xfs look SO bad !?

2001-04-03 Thread Daniel T. Chen

It may not be as much an issue with xfs as it is an issue with the
configuration associated with it.  I use xfs-xtt (w/ Debian).  Rumor has
it that xfs-xtt works much better, but I haven't been able to notice a
difference other than it doesn't crash while xfs did (could have been a
libc6 issue on this end, tho').

http://x-tt.dsl.gr.jp/

Make sure you're specifying TrueType fonts first in the `catalogue ='
section of the config file.  Also, you may need to remake your
fonts.{dir,scale,alias}.

Cheers,
dtc

 you will see anti aliasing ?)
 
 Boy, was I in for a shock ! I must be doing something wrong ! Surely ! Gone 
 were all the elegantly rendered fonts, gone were the nice curvey fonts, gone 
 was the sensible scaling. Replaced with spindly, jagged and 3/4 the size 
 fonts. Except for what should have been bold letters. These all went to the 
 other extreme, huge bloated squidgy letters that looked silly because the

 Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone have a solution ?

Re: [Cooker] Before you release 8.0 - RPM very huge bug!!!

2001-03-22 Thread Daniel Woods

  (1) We assume that when you want a server installed, that most probably
  means that you want it activated because you will use it ;
 Not necessarily. The assumption was not 100% valid because the logic is:
 when I install something it doesn't mean that I want it to run right
 away. For example:

I agree with all points tha Prana made. Services should only be
started when they are PROPERLY and SECURELY configured.  Let the
user decide when that is, not the OS.

I still especially suggest that an expert install means that we
want the above before *we* are ready to let users use the service.
Experts know hoe to start the services they want, let us do it.

Just because we install a service, does not mean we are immediately
ready to run it. People who have worked in government, universities,
or large corporate companies will understand the politics involved,
and how sometimes decisions move slowly. Yuch!

Thanks... Dan.

2001-03-09 Thread Daniel Woods

Don,

 I see this as a VERY SERIOUS issue that needs to be looked
 into.  RPM CAN NOT re-enable services that I've disabled!

Strongly agree !

 There are some services that should be enabled by
 default, in my opinion:
 
 Workstation installs:
 xfs, cups/lpd, crond, drakfont, gpm, harddrake, kudzu,
 sound, network, usb, sshd (if installed), xinetd (but
 none of the services), numlock

This looks good.

 Development installs:
 Probably similar to the above..
 
 Server installs:
 cups/lpd, crond, network, usb, sshd, xinetd (maybe some
 of the services), nfs, smb, httpd, ypserv (if
 installed), ldap, mysql, named, postfix, portmap, etc.

Disagree. Yes, these can be part of the installation, but
absolutely do NOT turn on the services which are for remote
access, like nfs, smb, httpd, ypserv, mysql, named, ...

People installing servers are more knowledgeable about
Unix/Linux, and they (like me) will turn them on when
ready.  First an administrator needs to put security
TCP wrappers in place, one service at a time.

Thanks... Dan.

This means you don't have the 'buffer' program installed. I got mine at
flexbackup's homepage:
http://members.home.com/flexbackup/buffer-1.19-1.i386.rpm
By the way, 'buffer' doesn't work with Mandrake's "secure" kernel.

Re: [Cooker] Why no Official KDE 2.0.1 Update?

2000-12-07 Thread Daniel Tabuenca

How hard can this be? If  I got to the KDE site I find that Caldera has
rpms for it. Redhat has RPMS for both Redhat 6.x and 7.0. SuSe has for
like everything including their SPARC version. The Mandrake has a stupid
readme saying that cooker has a better version. Well, that's great and
totally useless. Cooker is not stable and cooker is completely
incompatible with 7.2. How come all the other distributions have an
upgrade available and Mandrake doesn't?

 You are dreaming. Mandrake has no plans to make RPMS of Kde2.0.1 for Mandrake
 7.2. The only available 2.0.1 will be on Cooker (which is BTW binary
 incompatible with 7.2). Compile yourself.

Re: [Cooker] Why no Official KDE 2.0.1 Update?

Does it really take that much time and effort? I am assuming it is packaged
pretty much the same way as KDE 2.0. Am I wrong? Where is a good resource on
learning how to package something?

 I guess, thats's because Mandrake is a little company with not so many
 employees, and they simply don't have time to do this. What Chris did
 a few weeks ago was his goodwill, and he didn't get paid for that.
 And Kde2 bugs are not Mandrakes bugs, and they probably don't feel like
 they should use their resources to make Mandrake 7.2 users happy because
 of Kde2 bugs.

 Because of fhs compliance you need things like this.
 Install latest filesystem /initscripts and things should be gone.
 Be careful since these are base system packate, just warning so that you don't
 screw your system ..

I got the 7.2 version of initscripts and updated my 7.1 system and it works.
I was then able to install xinetd-* and update wu-ftpd-*

  I am trying to install 'wu-ftpd-2.6.1-7mdk.i586.rpm' which depends on

 xinetd is now the choice over inetd.

Any real world examples beyond the man pages ?

Re: [Cooker] Kernel 2.2.17-21mdk has streaming problems.

 My first attempt to write CD-R and CD-RW blanks with

 failure, not able to get past track 4 to 8 for "Medium Error." and
 "Write Error - Loss of Streaming".  This with numerous CD-R and CD-RW
 blanks.
 
 I booted up Helium and tried exactly the same thing - perfect writes
 every time!
 
 Under Odyssey, I used kpackage to remove all the cdrecord suite and
 replaced it with that from Helium - dismal failure, pointing to the
 problem being within Odyssey's 2.2-17mdk Linux kernel.
 
 cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 Mandrake72-inst.iso
 
 I rate this as serious.   Any clues, anyone?

Is this a "secure" kernel? I record CDs with 2.2.17 (compiled myself)
with no problems, but when I installed Mandrake 7.1 and tried to restore
my tape backups with flexbackup, I couldn't. Flexbackup uses the
"buffer" program, and buffer doesn't work with the secure kernel. Maybe
the buffering for cdrecord works the same way?

 Don't know, but a better approach would be to add it to /etc/ld.so.conf, so
 that ld find's those libs automatically.  This way you add the path to a
 standard location, and don't have to fiddle around with environmant
 variables.
 Yes, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is also a standard way of setting where lib's are
 located, but *I* like /etc/ld.so.conf more.

Agreed. /etc/* is much cleaner than environment vars.

[Cooker] Uplodaded syslog-ng

2000-11-21 Thread Daniel Serodio

Well, it's me again. I just uploaded syslog-ng to /incoming. syslog-ng
is a replacement for the "classic" syslog, and is much more
configurable. You can use regexes to sort the logs (very useful to log
ipchains messages to a separate file, for example), plus a lot of ther
stuff. In fact, I'd even like to suggest that it becomes the default
syslog daemon for Mandrake.
Anyway, I uploaded libol-0.2.20-1mdk.src.rpm, which is required to
_build_, but not run, syslog-ng-1.4.8-1mdk.src.rpm. If you get the
source package, you'll need libol too, but if you get the binary you
don't.
I did my best to make this RPM work exactly as the default Mandrake
syslog. The config files are based on the latest syslog RPM I found,
which is sysklogd-4.4-1mdk. Hope you all like it.
Should I announce uploads somewhere else, or is this the correct list?
I don't see many annoucements of this kind here...

Files:  libol-0.2.20-1mdk.src.rpm
syslog-ng-1.4.8-1mdk.src.rpm
