Re: [Cooker-firewall] How to install SNF-8.2
2. Is it possible to easily make an SNF-8.2 from a standard Mdk 8.2? 3. If so, what do you need to do in order build an installable CD of it. simply install a cooker with minimum install or whatever you want and then install the snf-en package. This will bring you all the required packages. Is it possible to install SNF onto an existing 8.2 system? e.g. by adding the cooker source from rpmdrake... What about something like the qmail source/install (urpmi --auto-select qmail) for SNF?
[Cooker] KDE3 Problems
Here is what I have found so far: 1. I have to log out TWICE. I hit the button for logout and I get the logout sound but then nothing. I can still use kde. It isn't untill I hit the button again that it exits kde. 2. Can't run quake3 under kde3. when quake3 starts up I get a blank screen but if I move my mouse around kde comes back but at a very low resolution and I can scroll around the entire screen. To use Q3 I must logout and use another window manager. 3. Gnomemeeting gets flaky under kde3. Somtimes it starts up, and sometimes I have to kill -9 gnomemeeting. Works fine under any other win mgr. That's all for now. -Dave

[Cooker] More ATA133 Information
Hey all, I've found some interesting news on the kernel issue I've been working on with my machine. Last week, Promise submitted a kernel patch fixing stability issues with its ATA133 controllers and the linux kernel. The thread from the linux.kernel mailing list can be found here on deja: http://groups.google.com/groups?th=8f9d77d79e1e2056 This discussion, mainly between a Promise developer and Alan Cox seems to have a lot to do with the non-existant stability I've been experiencing with 2.4.18. Some of Red Hat's developers have also weighed in on this. Maybe Mandrake should look into it as well. This issue is only going to get bigger and bigger as more and more ATA133 drives hit the market. -- Dave

I did some poking around and found it craps out in libdv, particularly dv.c at line 136. #if ARCH_X86 dv_use_mmx = mmx_ok(); #endif I have an Athlon K7266 I also have the nopentium option in lilo. Any ideas? -Dave
[Cooker] Kernel bug!!!!!!!!
This morning I came in to find my cooker machine was not repsonding. I was at the login screen and could move the mouse but just the mouse. I could switch to the VC's and could type user names but the password prompt never came back. I did the magic sys-req alt+prnt+t and then did a hard reset. when the machine came up I looked at /var/log/messages to find some nasty kernel messages which I have included. Hope you can find the prob. If you need more info, let me know. -Dave ksymoops 2.4.3 on i686 2.4.18-5mdk.

[Cooker] Kernel PDC20269 chipset (ATA133) Bug
Hey All, I know I've been harping on this for awhile now but I have more evidence to support the fact that there is a bug in the ATA133 patch that's in kernel-2.4.18.5mdk-1-1mdk. This is the bug that makes the 8.2 install fail on my machine. This is also the bug that hangs my stable installation when kernel-2.4.18.5mdk-1-1mdk is installed. Yesterday, I installed kernel-linus2.4-2.4.18-1mdk on my stable 8.1 installation. It works flawlessly. I would really like to see this fixed before release because for me, this *IS* a show stopper. My 2nd hard drive is on the ATA133 card (a Promise UltraTX2 using this the PDC20269 chipset). It cannot use DMA on the stable 8.1 kernel or on the linux 2.4.18 kernel but it can in the Mandrake 2.4.18 kernel. The transfers to and from that drive without the patch are ~2mb/s and slow my machine way down since it's not using DMA. With the patch transfers go at ~36mb/s sustained with hardly a slowdown on my machine. Is anyone else having problems with this? Is anyone at Mandrake looking into it? Thanks -- Dave

Re: [Cooker] Beta 4 Install Fails during Package Install

Since beta 1, I'd get past the package selection to the actual installing of packages. It'd get through maybe 10 - 20 packages before locking up completely. Switching screens to see whats going on, I find that its trying to fetch an RPM from the CD when it fails. At first I figured that it might just be bad media so I tried different brands of CDRs, same deal. Then, I thought it might be something with the CD burning program so I tried xroast (I was using xroaster so I tried gcombust). Same deal. Then I realized they were basically just both front ends using the same CD burning utility. My working MDK8.1 CDs were burnt using Nero (under windows) so I tried doing that on the same media as the MDK8.1 CDs. Same deal. I then thought it could be something with my CD or DVD drive but the install fails the same way on both. I have a TDK121032A CDR and generic 10x DVD drive thats identified as a LITEON DVD-ROM LTD163. A install of MDK8.1 succedes 100% of the time on both. The weird thing is that on a whim I decided to try installing beta 3 under VMWare. The install ran like a champ... all the way to completion. The last thing I can think of might be that it might be a problem with ReiserFS which is what I'm using for all my partitions. I would try deleting my / and /usr partitions and reinstalling on ext3 to see if that worked but I don't have any more time to fiddle with it this weekend. Has anyone ran across any similar problems? I didn't see any problems related to this in the bugzilla database and I wanted to try to narrow it down a little bit before I posted a formal report there. Thanks! -- Dave -End Old Message---

8.2 beta w/GeForce2MX
I tried installing the new beta, so I figured the results could be useful. I'm running a Quicksilver G4/733 with the GeForce2MX video card. Sorry if I seem critical, I really do appreciate all the work that people have put into Mandrake, I mean all my criticism to be constructive :-). If you have anything you'd like me to test out, or if you need more information about anything, I'll do what I can. Video: - install-riva doesn't work, when second stage install starts the graphics are huge, and stretched horizontally. There are also small thick vertical black lines all over, and. - install-novideo makes everything in the second stage into this really ugly shade of blue; mouse tracking is bad also. - My monitor, a Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 73, is listed when I'm asked to select the monitor I'm using. It wasn't listed in either the Yellow Dog or Debian installers, so good job :-) - X won't start up properly. When the system boots and the display manager tries starting X, my monitor seems to stop receiving any signal. Using Cmd-Ctrl-FKey to switch to a tty doesn't work after this, so I'm forced to reset my computer. Hard Drive partitioning: - My partition setup before installing looked like this (as gleaned from pdisk): hda6HFS+ hda12 HFS hda7HFS+ hda8HFS+ hda910 MB yaboot bootstrap hda10 128 MB swap hda11 ext2 Yes, the partition that's physically earlier on disk is hda12, that's because of the order I set it up with pdisk. The Mandrake installer just numbered them in physical order, eg hda12-hda7, and every partition after that has its number incremented by one. - I wanted to initialize the ext2 partition, and it wasn't clear at first how to do so, so I selected Custom partitioning and deleted it, then wanted to add it again...but there wasn't any obvious way to add a partition. I still don't know how to do so through the installer. - After experimenting with the partitioner a bit, I decided to back out and set up the partitions myself before installing again. But after hitting cancel or exit a few times, and hitting no when asked whether to write the new partition map, I found on restart into OS X that my partition map was changed. Miscellaneous: - The package lists seems very up-to-date including a recent kernel, Nautilus, etc. - I like the ability to set up automatic log-in. - When I get to the printer setup dialog, I get the message An error occured: foomatic rpm not found. - There doesn't seem to be any way to select a timezone. There's a label on the screen that details my mouse, keyboard, printer settings that says timezone, but there's nothing in the associated selection box. - After installation, I had to set the boot device in OF; booting with yaboot was not autmoatic. Note that the Debian and YDL installers seem to have this working. - I get a few errors during startup: - Finding module dependencies: unresolved symbols and then a list that included something about fdomain_cs in a scsi module, and something else. Sorry I can't be more specific, the X problem above meant that I crashed just after startup, so I couldn't really access system logs. - Loading USB interface (modprobe): Can't locateFAILED - At one point I saw a starting pcmcia error. I'm on a desktop, I'm not sure why pcmcia support is being started. UI: - Cancel buttons during the installer often do nothing. It might make more sense for them to quit the installer and reboot. At some points I got stuck during the install, it would have been nice to have a way to reboot cleanly. - During the first stage, there's a message on the bottom of the screen that says Alt-F4 for kernel logs, etc. At least on my computer, it's really Cmd-Ctrl-F4 instead.

I took gcc 2.95.3, 2.96-80 (current cooker version), and gcc3.0 (also from cooker). here are my results: echo GCC 2.95performance: GCC 2.95performance: ./xmm_gcc ALGORITHM NB REPSTIME MFLOPS = = = == == atlasmm 60 1000 0.300 1440.00 echo GCC 2.96-80 performance: GCC 2.96-80 performance: ./xmm_ngc ALGORITHM NB REPSTIME MFLOPS = = = == == atlasmm 60 1000 0.590 732.20 echo GCC 3.0 performance: GCC 3.0 performance: ./xmm_gc3 ALGORITHM NB REPSTIME MFLOPS = = = == == atlasmm 60 1000 0.590 732.20 It it obvious that gcc 2.95.3 creates code that is twice as fast as the latter versions.

Re: [Cooker] Problems installing the betas
Slight Update: I did try using ext2 and ext3 for the / and /usr partitions. No dice... same problems locking up on a random package. On closer inspection, the CDs I'm using are NOT the same brand as the 8.1 disks I have working. I'll go out tomorrow and try a different brand of CDR. I'm still open to any suggestions anyone has. :-) TIA -- Dave On Saturday 23 February 2002 22:24, you wrote: Hey all, I've been having a lot of problems installing the betas.

[Cooker] 2 Problem With KDE (so far)
Problem 1: if I do not want the fonts in the konsole to be antialiases, I add -noxft to the command line option for the konsole button on the panel. However after a few logins that option gets removed. How can I keep KDE from resetting that option. Problem 2: I mount my /home from an NFS server so I can get the same env when I use different machines. Problem is, is that when I logout and go to shut down, it hangs when trying to unmount /home because these is always a kdeinit hanging around with my UID to first If I want to shutdown, I have to login to a VC and 'killall kdeinit' then 'poweroff'. Why is there a stray kdeinit when I logout and how can I get rid of it. I am using Cooker from 01/23/02. -Dave

Re: [Cooker] lspcidrake and Firewire (Was lspci doesn't know Matrox G550)
It just got commited into the CVS for the driver ohci1394, thanks. Very Cool. didn't know about gscanbus... is it nice program, useful one? we could add it to mandrake if positive... I found it while trying the ieee1394 howto from http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ I don't know if it is good or not. Haven't seen it 'work' yet. it seems it scans the firewire bus... but I can't see any file under /proc that shows ident information such as /proc/bus/pci/devices for PCI and /proc/bus/usb/devices for USB, in order to indentify devices and know which drivers to load Yea. I cound not find anything either. The documentation is just about non-existant for these devices. do you have any information on that? linux1394.sf.net doesn't show any useful info on that :-(. I noticed.
Re: [Cooker] Big time freeze - when I kill a process
Hmmm . . . sounds dangerously familiar . . . . On Friday 11 Janua-Dave ry 2002 04:08, you wrote: Latest Cooker install - and latest NVIDIA drivers. System runs fine - and sometimes I play BZFLAG for a while (over an hour) Every once and a while it freezes and I can't do anything from the keyboard. Normally I would go to another machine - ssh into the box and kill the BZFLAG process (kill -9 or killall) - this used to work fine. Now, the system hard freezes (including the ssh session I have to it) and I can't even use the 'magic' keys to recover. The only thing to do is HARD reset the machine - nothing in the logs tells me what happened. Any clues? Thx, R.Fox

Re: [Cooker] gFTP
What is the number of files and directories that you are comparing. I had a consistant crash because of that.

Re: [Cooker] Re: System Freezes
I have notices a theme with this problem. It usually relates to a GL app or mode switching. However, I have this problem when I open konqueror, resize a window, or just sit and stare at the screen. Today I had to restart 12 times. I finally went in and changed my XFree86 Config file back to use mandrake's default nv driver just to do my everyday stuff. When I want to quake it up or do something with graphics, I change the config and cross my fingers. I am now considering replacing my card with an ATI Radeon. At least we have control over the drivers. -Dave On Wednesday 26 December 2001 12:14, you wrote: On Tue, 2001-12-25 at 22:52, tester wrote: Dave Seff wrote: Ok, Not to reopen an old wound, But I think I've narrowed down this Freeze thing.

Civileme H, I have had a similar problem with the older and latest NVidia drivers as well as with two machines that have Matrox G400 cards. My Nvidia machines only seem to freeze up when running OpenGL apps or anything that switches video modes. The Matrox machines lock up if I switch video modes often, especially when running VMware fullscreen. This makes me think it may be an X problem. Unfortunately I have not had time to diagnose the problem with greater detail. I usually just ssh into the box and issue a shutdown -r because I am in a hurry to get the box back up. :( Hopefully I will find some time to investigate further. -Pete
Re: [Cooker] KDE and the box full of stuff.
Oooh! I agree. Lets break these into more managable packages. -Dave On Wednesday 26 December 2001 04:34, you wrote: I have a sugestion on have you should (if you will have time and etc) package kde.

So when users wonts to check his mail he also installs alot of programs he does not need. So the best way to solve this problem is to seperate this programs. Something like kdenetwork-kmail kdenetwork-kppp kdemultimedia-noatun ... It is possible because kmail does not need kppp (ex LAN). kdenetwork kdemultimedi should contain only common libs. BTW group( Development/KDE and Qt ) for kdenetwork is incorrect
