can find an archive listing on the Lists page but that only goes to
Mandrake's archive that isn't searchable.  We criticize posters for
reposting the same bugs time and time again yet we don't provide them
easy access to find out if their bug has been reported and even possibly
fixed.  Thierry even states repeated bug reports are a source of
irritation for him and I'm sure he isn't alone.

 
 Gael, Ben is right on this point our archives are less usable than the
 one at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker. Maybe could we
 link to them on the cooker page?
 
 Regarding the search, I fix the quick search on the bugzilla main page, and
 it would be nice, as Pixel suggested, to have a ligther complex search page, so
 that anyone prefer searching for bugs instead of posting new ones.

It would be more coherent to add a search tool to our mailling-lists archives. 
We'll see if we can add one, and if not, we will link to the archives above.

[expert] Mandrake Forum News Poll...

2000-07-05 Thread Gael Duval

Hello everybody,

several weeks ago we set up an experimental Mandrake web forum that
was intended to get as many ideas as possible about what the future
Linux-Mandrake systems should be. This forum was intended to have a
very short life (one week). As those discussions were a frank success,
this lead us to the idea that the users need to tell MandrakeSoft
their feelings about Mandrake. That's the reason why we have:

- reinstalled this system with a dedicated name
[http://forum.mandrakesoft.com]
- converted it into a general Mandrake news site where people can post
stories like in Slashdot, and post comments

I'm inviting you to take a look at it again, and especially to choose
a new name for it. Several names are already available, such as:
mandrakeforum.com or mymandrake.org. Which one do *you* prefer?

Vote now on: http://forum.mandrakesoft.com

Greets,

Gael.

PS Due to the recent new KDE2 beta packages that are available on the
same server, the forum can be slow sometimes.

[Cooker] KOffice packages

2000-03-29 Thread Gael Duval

Hello,

by the way, did some of you install the new Koffice packages just made
by David Faure?

You just have to download:

kdelibs2-1.89.2324-1mdk.i586.rpm  
koffice-1.89.2324-1mdk.i586.rpm  
qt21-2.1.0-0.3.1mdk.i586.rpm  

from cooker-contrib (for example from:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS/)

Install them (it won't break your current KDE install) and run:

kword.sh
kspread.sh
kpresenter.sh
killustrator.sh

Those are really good pieces of software, you can include a kspread
table under kword etc. If you can test those packages and report bugs
to the KOffice team (and especially to David Faure), this will speed
up the development of Koffice and maybe we can put it in Mandrake 7.1.

Greets,

Gael.

 Actually, that's my problem. I know they are not of good quality yet so
 that they can be used as the man window manager (KDE 2) I mean, but I
 would like to know if I have the option of NOT installing KDE 1, and just
 installing KDE 2, as I don't have the diskspace for both. I have a feeling
 that not installing KDE 1 is going to break the dependency for any KDE app
 in Cooker at this point though :(

I don't see what would prevent you to test/install the above koffice
packages if you don't install KDE1!

You have:

KOffice

Kdelibs2.0

AFAIK you can even test them just by running X without any

 It was my fault for not explaining clearly. I meant that is does require
 kdelibs 2 and qt 2.1 (beta). I know that you do not need kdebase to use
 it, but I figure if I am going to have to download kdelibs and qt (pretty
 big for me), that I would download kdebse2, but only if I could use it in
 place of KDE 1, and that's what I wanted to know.

you need kdebase2 at least (and maybe kdesupport) - maybe David Faure
could tell us more precisely ;)

I've tested the whole new KDE2 recently and it's usable. Not 100%
stable, usable.

Re: [Cooker] an idea for 7.1+ -- Free Internet

1999-12-26 Thread Gael Duval


Hello,

this is a very good idea that we have already had, but the
implementation is complex for several reasons:

- it's difficult to put on the main Mandrake CD for space problems
- what about ethics? free doesn't mean in the spirit of open-source,
and we would have to choose several ISPs... (why refusing to one and
saying yes to one other?)
- technical problems: many geographical places in the world + not
possible to give one account for each user of Mandrake! (each
CD/Internet image of Mandrake is physically identical)
- the good solution would be to implement kinda Internet wizard
(MandrakeUpdate-like) that would give an account and configure it. But
this would need... an Internet connexion :-

However, we will keep on thinking about it, there must be some
solutions...

 I recently wrote an article on free ISPs for OsOpinion which sparked a

 planning to offer free internet (NetZero) with new Windows PCs, and it
 is only a matter of time before MS does something similar, but our
 advantage is we do not need to have one "strategic partner" but can
 list any number of free ISPs without offending any of the others.
 
 What I imagine is either KPPP (although I truly believe diald is more
 practical for the home or home-office dialup user) pre-configured from
 an install section or config script that lets the person select either
 a free ISP (if one is close enough) or to put in the details of their
 own ISP.  As more and more free ISPs appear, we can expand the list.
 
 Is this doable?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. Since I'm new to Linux, it
certainly confused me. I spent a good part of yesterday installing beta
7 and for the most part, impressed with the ease of getting everything
setup. This morning I booted Linux and Kudzu came up saying that my
configuration had changed. (?) Ok, the scanner was turned off so I told
it to KEEP CONFIGURATION. When XServer started, all my stettings were
gone. No Gnome. Just KDE and Failsafe. There was no shutdown. When I
started KDE my desktop theme was different. None of the software that I
installed was there. I'm really confused.

Could it be the IP address? I have it setup as LAN, but it is really my
cable modem which worked great last night. I'm not sure if I have a
fixed IP or not. I've never noticed. I'd like to have everything back
because I spent hours getting my scanner to work. Thanks

 I briefly read the License and it seems that the 2 major points

 1. You could distribute the fonts as long as you include the

 2. Distribution of the fonts to make money was prohibited.

I don't like this idea very much (asking the permission to Microsoft

  we have some problems especially with pppd and lpd - can you all test:
 
 
  2/ if you can set up a ppp connexion, especially with PAP, either with
  kppp, either with linuxconf - if not, please report tail -f
  /var/log/messages
 
 Cassini using kppp and chap. I have verified my user name and password.
 
 Sep  5 23:30:20 marvin pppd[7521]: The remote system (ppp0) is required to
 authenticate itself but I
 Sep  5 23:30:20 marvin pppd[7521]: couldn't find any suitable secret
 (password) for it to use to do so.
 
 Using linuxconf from teh command line (and creating an /etc/pap/chap-secrets
 file and using the name option for chap) I cannot start the connection from
 within linuxconf - no error message that I can find; it just won't work when
 I press the button to connect. Running a script for pppd yields the same
 message as I get with kppp.

the problem is in the ppp package, we will downgrade it ASAP.

 Can't we put both on the "extras CD" ?
 
 Just imagine having StarOffice, WordPerfect and KOffice on the same CD... It
 would be a GREAT add-on to Mandrake... =)

StarOffice and Wordperfect are in the PowerPack edition.

Aug, 31 1999 ANNOUNCE: Linux-Mandrake 6.1pre available for download
and tests
-

We at MandrakeSoft are very pleased to announce that Linux-Mandrake
6.1pre (Cassini) is available now for download.

This pre-release version has been made upon the stable parts of Cooker
(the openly developed version). It is already available from several
FTP mirrors. We encourage users to test it and report bugs by
subscribing to the Cassini mailling-list:

 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cassini/

The purpose of Cassini is to improve the stability of Linux-Mandrake
6.1 which will be released next week pending the status of this beta
test.

* WHAT'S NEW IN MANDRAKE 6.1pre?

- Linux Kernel 2.2.11-ac3 + 2.3.15
- KDE 1.1.2 (last CVS)
- XFree 3.3.4
- New and improved MandrakeUpdate for an easy and automatic update of
Mandrake.
- New Linux4Windows system which allows the user to install Mandrake
directly on top of a windows partition by avoiding the painful stage
of repartitioning.
- New and improved Desktops for KDE and Gnome with the famous
"Mandrake Touch"
- New easy secured access to maintenance programs (for users that know
the root password), as well as the automatic detection of Windows
partitions that puts a link on the desktop. Enjoy!
- New, highly customized and powerful Apache 1.3.9 with mod_perl 1.21
and extended PHP3.0.12. With this version of Apache, you can easily
download and plug cryptographic module like open_ssl etc. 
- MySQL GPL version.
- New pre-configurations for Emacs, XEmacs and Vi.
- A bunch of new KDE applications and Gnome applications.
- All the recent programs are upgraded and well configured.

* HOW TO TEST IT?
