[Cooker] Mesa-devel?
Um we are missing an rpm.. we have Mesa-common-devel but no Mesa-devel wich is a req of Mesa-common-devel can we find where this rpm dissapered too? ;) I have finaly descovered the problem with the agp shit on my system the kernel 2.2.17 source is still fucked for compiling as a non module BTW, and the module agpgart and mga (drm) dose load properly but apon running any gl based program(ie gears, or q3 etc) it locks the x server and i have to run crtl-alk-syrq k , and it restarts the x, but it will leave the console corrupt (blank with strange chars on it, the kernel reports an kernel paging problem (kernel oops). I get the same results using 3.3.6 and utah-glx using agp but i am able to use the utah-glx using the dma hack mode (although that is undeserable as it causes the system to become unresponsive to the rest of the world.) ie.. dl's stop, conections through the system stop. Could we plz get the hackkernel compiling correctly? *G* maybe i can use that version. *Sigh* -DarkWlf

[Cooker] kernel compile and uses both normal and hack
I am having some serious kernel problems in both 2.2.17-11 and 2.4.0-24.. i'l start with the 2.2.17 I need to have agp compiled into the kernel not as a module as it is very unstable as a module on my mb (ali154x) when compiling in the kernel i get errors at the final link in main.o about call's to to undeclared functions (agp_setup) and (agp_initialize) as well as a problem with drivers/char/Makefile and drivers/char/agp/Makefile one the agp/Makefile creates agp.o the drivers/char/Makefile looks for agpgart.o now i said.. ok? let's try development kernel! yeah 2.4 i have that at my fingertips too. first shot was with compiling kernel from hackkernel source everything compiled fine till the final link then it segfaults on the ld command. --- ok my next try after spending some time in #linux was to dl the 2.4.0-test8 bziped source after the first compile and relizeing that it dosen't have reiserfs in it i patched the kernel with the correct. ok finaly got it made correctly ( oh and btw under the stock kernel 2.4 you can compile without smp support!!;p ) reboot and it just started to spew shit about the scsi drive sd0 etc over and over.. ok scratch that idea. --- on to my next adventure.. this was a good one. i said FINE.. let's instlall the hackkernel that you guys compiled and give it a wirl... everything worked fine till rc.sysinit told it to do a mount -f / where it kernel oops and segfaulted. now i know this is a development kernel.. but.. ok fine.. i said i'l go back to the kernel 2.2.17 only to descover after the rpm --install hackernel-2.4.0.0-24mdk it left the old kernel unbootable (was complaing about unresolved symbols in /lib/reiserfs and aic7xxx.o) first off the mods arn't in /lib there in /lib/modules/2.2.17-11mdk/fs/ or whatever.. so that was confusing... I did descover that booting the rescue image off the floppy and chrooting to the now mounted root partintion i was able to compile and succesfully install the kernel (although it kept complaining about dates being wrong ) so i have descoverd that if you install hackkernel after kernel you have to reinstall kernel this BAD (tm) ;) ok one last rant if you don't have a vesa fb (i compiled in matrox_fb) it barfs Aurora hard to the point it would not boot till i rebooted into the rescue and did an rpm -e Aurua... we need to have it fallback to normal boot if no valid fb device is found! -DarkWlf
[Cooker] snap as of sept 24th
I have installed last night and thanks to pixel's hd_reiser img it worked (although i had to rename the images on the disk to hd.rdz and change syslinux.cfg. the only thing i can decipher is that possibly a problem with the syslinux boot and the "_" char. I am not sure i will have to run some more tests... but non the less it installed with out a hitch. I am very impressed! (especialy with the new g200 3d dri drivers! yes!) thank you guys, you have set everything up flawlessly! now on to the few problems that I did had (and of couse it's still beta!) on compileing agpgart into kernel (not as a module) as it is recomended on many sites for stablity as currently the module has my x sys restart 6 times then black screen and i have to reboot. first of all in /usr/src/linux-2.2.17/drivers/char/agp/Makefile ... output = agp.o in /usr/src/linux-2.2.17/drivers/char/Makefile it is looking for agpgart.o... one of them has to be changed -- secound after changeding either place that compiles perfectly.. but.. in /usr/src/linux/init/main.c there are two var's that are linked to agpgart... extern int agp_initialize (void); extern void agp_setup(char *str, int *ints; the compile of the kernel failes because these var's are not delcared. the first agp_initialize is not found in the drivers/char/agp source at all agp_setup is in drivers/char/agp/agp.h so i'm a simple include of agp.h in main.c would solve the secound , but i am not sure as to the first- 09/23/00 9:38:42 [darkangel:/usr/src/linux/init] <7> rpm -q kernel kernel-2.2.17-11mdk --- is the 2.2 kernel version ok secound.. quite deteremined last night to play quake 3 on my shiny new mandrake x4 system... I go and install the hackkernel (yeh no more dep problems rusulting to the two source instaled!yeahh! .. thank you:) once again i run the makings of the make xconfig, configure my kernel, make dep, make bzImage... on the first note when are we going to make it possible to have a non smp 2.4 kernel, if you don't select smp support the kernel compile crashes and bails very earlie on in the compile. .. anywayz compile worked fine . but on the final ld it segfaults (on the actual ld line)! the final line is bellow.. any one have any ideas? I'm asuming the kernel source it's self can't be to blaim but a malfuncting ld? or am i wrong? ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-hack/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/k ernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \ --start-group \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/f s.o ipc/ipc.o \ drivers/block/block.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/ne t/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/parport/parport.a drivers/char/agp/agp.o drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o drivers/cdrom/cdrom.a drivers/pci /pci.a drivers/video/video.o \ net/network.o \ /usr/src/linux-hack/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-hack/lib/lib.a /u sr/src/linux-hack/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux make: *** [vmlinux] Segmentation fault [root@darkangel linux-hack]# --- sounddrake is sitll unable to inilize my AWE64 sound card! much better though it now detecs and go's through the motions but it never plays the sample sounds.. sndconfig is still required. -DarkWlf

I don't have another part to test with, can anyone try a user install of star office on a reiserfs part? and see if you can get it to start. i can't figure out what else i could have changed to cause it to crash on the 7.1b system that it previously ran fine(excpept for the java stuff of course) anyone have any ideas? and yes I agree we are prolly a low priority. -DarkWlf

XFree86-server-4.0-6mdk XFree86-xfs-3.3.6-14mdk drakfont-0.40-8mdk I will attach a font that I use for an example that will cause the above problems. now if you install XFree86-xfs-4.0-6mdk and XFree86-libs-4.0-6mdk from contribs, the same fonts will cause drakfont to crash instead of displaying the font not available error msg in drakfont. so I do not think it is drakfont at all, i beleave it is xfs, not being able to handle alot of ttf fonts! -DarkWlf

It seems it is a problem with xfs both the 3.3.6 and the 4.0 version using the ttf render that is build into the X.4 works fine and gimp dose NOT crash. so it is definitly with the xfs. btw using the xfs from 4.0 and drakfont causes drakfont to crash when selected the fonts that previalsly said "not availble" but again if i bypass the xfs and use the font redering in X.4 i have no problems. dose this help? -DarkWlf

ok I have drakfont finaly adds my fonts now, but after they are installed and show up in drakfont, I get "font not availble" in drakfont, and if i pick any of the new fonts in gimp it crashes hard, if I put the paths for the new fonts in X4's config file they work, it only dose this when using the xfs with cooker. Could it be that the xfs from 3.3.6 isn't quite compat with x4? I'm not sure anyone else haveing this problem? to the packager of licq, the new gtk plugin for licq in cvs is much better they now have a gnome applet for it as well as some other neat features that are needed, could we have this in contribs or would anyone like me to package it up? I would be willing to do a cvs update nightly and make an rpm availble on my ftp site. anyone? -DarkWlf

Here are the bugs i have noted as of 4-29-2000 I did multiple rysncs before install and made sure everything was updated correctly;) Install Class Expert / Server using hd.img installing from ext2 partion System is as follows- Asus P5A MB AMD k6-2 380 128 meg pc100 ram Adaptec 2940u 3com 905tx 100 SB isa AWE64 pnp Matrox Millium g200 8meg AGP --- Language Selected English- First problem is as noted before , I can not mount My /home partion using the disk partion utility in the installer, as it is where I am installing the files from, so it is mounted as /mnt/hd, and will not let Me unmount the partion and remount it, sugestion, perhaps before we mount the install media it could "ask" us where we want the partion mounted? that seems the simplest solution to the problem (that is in the text part of the install before we boot the graphic installer... Secound problem is the package selection.. after selecting the groups and going on to the manul package selection, I have noted some various bugs and abnormilties.. some very severe some just anoying.. they are do with the dependecy's... I will list some expamples of them but I did not have the patioence to write them ALL down there is quite a few...alot of them have to do with the laungue stuff. gnozip -requires Basilikll (mac emulator??) CodeCommander, SVGATextMode, audiofile.. now I am not sure on these but I am pretty sure that these have NOTHING to do with echother. auto selcted "howto-html-el" not "howto-html-en" like it should be since I chose "english" laungage. gnome-print-devel - requires lilo-doc ... this also has nothing to do with the other. unselcting vim-common causes the installer to pop dialog box saying "Package can not be base" and then dumps you back into the partion part of the installer. Netscape Comunicator or Nav requires Netscape castelano, (spanish edition) this is definitly not right and causes some serious problems... Netconfig reqires codewars (wich is a game)!!! there are many many other deps problems unselction a package that is realy not much will pop up a box saying that it will be uninstaling many nessary packages for daily use of the system including alot of gnome and base lib packages... On compleation of the install tasks it will ask Me if i want to reconfigure the network saying it was previously configured, this is rather confusing considering that it is a fresh install on a formated partion. the network config for the ppp still dose not allow you to configure the local and remote ip addresses or the on boot flag, wich is nessary for my daily use. the password for pap is as follows -"password""- this seems to work though so i guess it is only cosmetic. the conection dose work now. the rescue for hd dose not work and crashes after loading the ide and scsi drivers detected, the same hd.img loads fine for the install, I am never asked for the secound disk. sound STILL is not detected by sounddrake and I still have to use the sndconfig from the 7.0 wich works fine as stated before it is a AWE64 pnp, this is not a dificult card to detect! in the harddrake it shows soundcard.. but there is no detected card nor a botton to configure the sound card. xmms and xchat do not have menu entries, and i am sure there are others in gnome panel. the gnome desktop icons are severly messed up and are set to the bland default icons. apon booting kde there is like 3 items in the menu etries, even though there is 90% of the kde software installed as well as other various X programs. apon installing the helixcode gnome stuff i have most of my desktop functionality back. but the icons are messed up for a different reason. that is all that I wrote down last night during the long install, sorry for the realy long list of bugs but there are some seroius bugs here that need to be resolved. -DarkWlf

[Cooker] Install as of 4-20-2000
ok pixel the install bug that was causing the installer to crash is now gone! yeah it installs. bug1, the ppp config in the drakx installer is still screwed up, it still dosn't allow configuration of the ip addresses (nessary if you have a static ip, dose not allow config of the activate on bootup wich is very nessary at least on my system.. but the bug is this, after booting the system and activating the ppp device, it will dial and fail to login, it just connects then hangs up, if i go into linxu conf and configure the device with the redhatppp module, it shows the PAP user name as whatever I put in as the configuration name and it shows no pap password, after changeing those to items in linxuconf it dials and connects fine, but in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 it shows the pap username as the config name! wierd. secound bug very very very anoying... after confiuring everything i relazed that I was not recieveing mail, after checking the /var/log/maillog it said postfix was unable to create the /var/spool/mail/usrename file looking into this user postfix did not have write privileges, simply adding postfix to the mail group fixes this problem not sure if this is the right way though... feture request?? if we can't get the helix rpms into the default install can we at least use the gtk-engines from there , they have A LOT more themes for gtk in there;) bug.. xmms dose not show in the gnome menu even though it is installed installing the helix rpms fixes this. feture request , can we have the helix rpm for the gnome-applets, the one that is in cooker is well rather bleak on fetures! bug / feture request, can we have the printer confiuration from the installer in the main drakconf?? with all the printers? there is only 3 choices in the drakprinter config. anoying bug that is still HERE! I can not get draksound / lothar sound to find my sound card! I have no way of confiuring sound unless I download sndconfig from the 7.0 distrib.. can we PLEASE fix this??? pretty please?? another small bug that is still here, on boot up when conecting to ppp on bootup it say "FAILED" even though it connected correctly and the interface is working? feature request pixel.. since i think the installer is your baby? i have the cooker files in /home/ftp/pub/cooker , /home is a serperate drive, on selecting the install files from the install disk everything is found correctly but when configuring the drives in the installation processs I am unable to tell the installer that the partion is to be mounted as /home thus i have to manuly change the mount after boot wich screws up the urpmi default entry so I have to create a symbolic link to the /home from /mnt/hdftp...(hdftp was what it was after this install before it was "hd" bug? is there a way we can fix it so it will be mounted as /home instead of /hd?? -DarkWlf
