 How i can my mainboard with intel 810 work with XFREE 3.3.6 or 4.0 ?
 thank you for all

I installed it for a client and it works (although intel 810 is a worst case

Re: [Cooker] Wheel Mouse!

 So far I have:
 1) Edited /etc/X11/XF86Config with
   Buttons 3
   ZAxisMapping 4 5
   # emulate 3 buttons
   # emulate 3 timeout
 2) Added immwheelrc to $user dir (though I heard this had no effect)
 3) Rebooted
 What else might I try?

just add the following lines to your local .Xdefaults than you will be able
to use your wheel properly. (... and, please, don't boot; this is Linux an

... sorry in advance for bothering you again with this ... but what's exactly
the difference between Hydrogen-Beta3-Install-ISO and the
Mandrake-Final-ISO. The latter one is by size bigger (ftp.free.fr) and by date
created earlier than the first one -- so there must be some differences.

(By the way: the most stable version I tried on my machine is what I created
from cooker on Sun 21. May taking off the wrong ldconfig-RPM from May 19)

Re: [Cooker] GET READY FOR A DISCUSSION: future distro

2000-05-31 Thread Daniel Hammer

BS''D

Hi,

I would like to make some comments, or better, formulate some
personal wishes for a future Mandrake Distro (as once asked by 
Guillaume):

INSTALLING PROCESS:

  It would be nice to have the following features:

 o the possibility to save a configuration after having
   selected all the packages one wishes to install
   and, vice versa, the possibility to load an own
   configuration from a floppy to make a duplicate/iterated 
   installation  easier
   (German HeulSuSE for example has these features with "YaST")

 o when upgrading the system it would be nice to know
   which packages are outdated and to have the possibility
   to chose which newer packages to install

EMACS/TEX

 o this mainly is to Chmouel: why Auc-TeX is not included by
   default into (x)emacs?
  it is a very small package (964k is the whole bunch of files 
  in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/ where lots can be
  droped out  one line "(require 'tex-site)" in ~/.emacs),
  but is makes it much easier to use (x)emacs for (La)TeX
  
  'think I am not the only (La)TeX user who appreciates these
  goodies

XFONTS/TEX

 o it would be nice to have Hebrew X-fonts by default (there are 
   not too much of them)

 o the same would apply to Hebrew TeX-fonts (also a not too big package)



But anyway, I like Mandrake more than any other distribution (great work)
and I understand that a lot of people have lots of wishes.

Best,

Daniel.

BS''D

... Pixel, that sounds great !!  Thanx a lot, ... I'll try it out!

Best,

Daniel.

 i posted this a few time ago:
 
 
 you should be able to do this already. The thing to use is defcfg. If you boot
 with "linux defcfg=floppy" given to syslinux. And put file auto_inst.cfg.pl on
 fat floppy with:
 
 $o = { default_packages = [ qw(
   lftp urpmi
   icewm emacs-X11
 )] };
 
 then at install, you'll have these packages selected by default. Select the
 minimum amount of package and you'll get the default_packages anyway (choose
 expert to be able to select a barest minimum)
 
 PS: defcfg is much more powerfull than just selecting packages :)
 (see mandrake.com/drakx/auto_inst.html for more about auto_inst.cfg)
 
 
 maybe i should add a dialog box in case of defcfg that asks:
 
 The following packages are selected, want to choose more?
   lftp, urpmi, icewm...
 
Yes No

Re: [Cooker] BETA 3 ISO

2000-05-23 Thread Daniel Hammer

BS''D


Hi David,

 Since the ISO still hasn't gotten up to the mirrors, the question remains,
 has anyone successfully made an iso using the mkh script, or any other
 script.

I'll send you the script today in the evening, since I'm at work in
Germany and live in France. The script I'll send you worked for me
properly several times.

But anyway 

 I'm still getting depslist.ordered problems ever time I try.

in order to get rid of this error message you must do the 
following:  before you separate the files from your cooker mirror into 
cd1 and cd2

 o add "xloadimage" and "ispell-sk" to the officially distributed
"rpmslist"
   (since many packages of the first CD depend on these to packages
which
are - if not included into "rpmslist" - on the second CD)

before you create the package list and the dependencies lists

 o check if you don't have any two versions of any package in the
RPMS/RPMS2
   directories; this can happen if you use "wget -rm" since you get all
newer
   versions of the packages and the outdated ones remain in your mirror
   directory
   example: you had already downloaded certainpackage-1.2.3mdk.rpm and
when 
updating you get the newer certainpackage-1.2.5mdk.rpm
now you'll have both packages in the RPMS directory of your
local
mirror  when creating deplists this produces
"depslist.ordered
does not match ..."


Best,

Daniel.




Re: [Cooker] Latest cooker stuff, install issue ldconfig!

   Printer config picked up HP870CSE, but failed to install proper filter.
  
  I also tried the latest cooker from rpmfind.net.  I couldn't even
  configure my printer the way I wanted.  I got options for a HP LaserJet,
  text or postscript.  The ghostscript printer package didn't get
  installed.
 
   Got through package install and post install routines, and into X
   config. Detected a Matrox G200 card, presented resoultion options, and
   then failed test. Tried all different res cmbo's for my monitor and
   card, none would work. Decided to ignore it, finish install and reboot.
  
   libXiso6
   libX11so6
   lib Xmu so6
   lib font.so1
 
 And ldconfig is run at all the right times!

have created on Sunday a very fresh mirror update from the cooker ftp
server
and have burned the 2 CD's ... experienced the same problems

It is the latest changes to ldconfig made by Pixel which causes all
these 
problems, since I have burned the same 2 CD's only with the outdated
version
of ldconfig which has as latest change something made by Chmouel and
these
problems disappeared

The only thing is the icon problem Anton wrote about, the "original"
helixcode
rpm's don't have these problems

BS''D


hi there everybody,

... spend the whole night with the f$%§ CD-Creation
Unfortunately I still have the same problems as everybody seems to
have at this list

 "depslist.ordered mismatch with hdlist"

But anyway, here are some observations:

 o the " rpmslist" seems to be wrong since during 
   the creation there are announced a lot of unsatisfied
   dependencies. For example:  MySQL, MySQL-client, MySQL-shared-libs
   and ispell-sk must be added and - most important - xloadimage !!

   I attached the right version without bugs.

 o there is a useless locale.dir~ file on the servers
   it does not harm the iso-creation process but one will get an
   annoying remark about it

 o there's a minor bug in Warli's proposal
   gendepslist2 -o CD1/Mandrake/base/depslist
CD1/Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz2 CD1/Mandra/base/hdlist3.cz2 
   must be changed into
   gendepslist2 -o CD1/Mandrake/base/depslist
CD1/Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz2 CD1/Mandra/base/hdlist2.cz2 

Any suggestions?

Please write,

Daniel.

Re: [Cooker] mkh.sh script.

2000-05-17 Thread Daniel Hammer

BS''D

this is what I wrote before: there is a warning from the script
that some packages on CD1 depend on "xloadimage" which is on
the second CD

there are also some dependencies on MySQL

I fixed that ... but anyway the finally produced CD1
comes with the known error message

 "depslist.ordered mismatch with hdlist"

Is there a solution for this???

  goofy -- by the way, why do some of the packages on CD1 depend on packages
  on CD2, wouldn't it make more sense to make sure CD1 is useable alone,
  and only go to CD2 if some packages on CD2 were requested?)
 
 this should never be, and the scripts should warn you if there is
 dependance CD1-CD2

 I am wondering why all the messages reguarding this script for making
 iso's are being ignored.  My message yesturday was the 3rd message
 i've seen on the list asking about the same questions on why the
 script doesn't work, with no support from mandrake.  I have been doing
 ftp installs of cooker since 7.0 was released, but I need to do some
 installs from cd on different computers.  Help on fixing the script
 would be appreciated

you raise a good question David. I've written some e-mails concerning
this problem  here are
the still poor results:

 o I wrote a mail to  Kenny Graunke and surprisingly he claims not to be
the author of the mkh.sh file
(I'll attach the message below)

 o I wrote a mail to Guillaume Cottenceau  and asked him for telling me
(us) how the iso files are
generated which are offered on the ftp-servers (since they produced
a functioning iso they must work)
  He promised me to ask these people who generated them to publish their
scripts
  here in this cooker list.

Any suggestions?!?

Dear Daniel,

I'm sorry that I can't help you here, as I never got Mandrake 7.1beta
ISOs created, and I didn't really even write that script.

Let me tell you what happened:

MandrakeSoft announced 7.1beta, with a ISO building script.
Since the only server with premade ISOs would only transfer at 15k
per second (slow...), I downloaded it using rsync. Just by looking
at their ISO building script, I immediately knew it would not work.
So I rewrote it. It was much better, you didn't have to change paths
throughout the entire script. Mandrake also forgot the rpmslist file,
which prevented me from doing it. They seemed to refuse to talk to me,
just quietly doing things, with no email. I was surprised to see my
fixed script show up on their website, with my name on it. Apparently,

 I am wondering why all the messages reguarding this script for making
 iso's are being ignored.  My message yesturday was the 3rd message
 i've seen on the list asking about the same questions on why the
 script doesn't work, with no support from mandrake.  I have been doing
 ftp installs of cooker since 7.0 was released, but I need to do some
 installs from cd on different computers.  Help on fixing the script
 would be appreciated

you raise a good question David. I've written some e-mails concerning
this problem  here are
the still poor results:

 o I wrote a mail to  Kenny Graunke and surprisingly he claims not to be
the author of the mkh.sh file
(I'll attach the message below)

 o I wrote a mail to Guillaume Cottenceau  and asked him for telling me
(us) how the iso files are
generated which are offered on the ftp-servers (since they produced
a functioning iso they must work)
  He promised me to ask these people who generated them to publish their
scripts
  here in this cooker list.

Any suggestions?!?

Best,

Daniel.

where can I get the two binaries/scripts  "genfilelist" and  "gencompss"
they don't come with the rpmtools-package

 [anton@bladehawke tmp]$ echo $(which genfilelist) is part of  $(rpm -qf \

 /usr/bin/genfilelist is part of rpmtools-devel-1.1-22mdk

 And, unless I'm sadly mistaken, Warly just posted the compss script as a
 footnote to his post.

... oh yes, this is my fault !
Thanx a lot to all people involved !!!

I have the following problems when installing 7.1 Beta 2:

1.) when I try to retrieve crypto/security software at the end of the
the install process there appears the following error message

Net::FTP Bad peer ... propagated

and nothing will be done. I use dhcp and I tried it both in Germany
in my company  at home in France where (thanx Lyonnaise Cable :-) I
have permanent internet access via TV-cable

2.) there are some other perl related errors with the Beta 2 when 
installing perl some modules via CPAN

 o example of successful installations

[Cooker] perl modules

I had problems with "Hydrogen 7.1 Beta 2" when 
installing perl some modules:

 o example of successful installations
   Apache::ASP
   LWP::Simple

 o not working installations
   Curses
   Devel::Symdump

The error message is (after lots of redefined 
functions in Curses.c) that 

"make had returned bad status"

All modules worked with "Air 7.0". Any suggestions??
Is this just a perl problem  with the new version 5.6 ???

Thanx,
Daniel.
