[Cooker] Differences between OpenPBS and ScalablePBS.
In my opinion, this should be in the ScalabePBS package because in the current packages the description is exactly the same: The Scalable OpenPBS version incorporates scalability, fault tolerance, and feature extension patches provided by NCSA, OSC, Sandia, PNNL, U of Buffalo, and other leading edge HPC centers. This version is based upon OpenPBS version 2.3.12 and may be freely redistributed.
[Cooker] OpenPBS / ScalablePBS?
Hi! We use OpenPBS in a cluster with Mandrake 9.0. I was going to update to 9.2, but I have found that: - OpenPBS depends on old tcl, tk and elf libraries. - There are ScalablePBS packages that don't have these problems, but: * What is ScalablePBS? The web page is still the same... * Does substitute OpenPBS? Anyway, OpenPBS should be recompiled against tcl, tk and elf libraries present in 9.2 or dropped from 9.2 contribs. Regards.

One of the consecuences is that smtp authentication with postfix using sasldb file doesn't work in Mandrake 9.1, and I think this is quite serious. My solution was to compile the src.rpm that comes with 9.1 against db3.3 and then I replace the libsasl.so.7.1.11 file.

Well I would if I could but installation fails First of all, I'm sorry for my English. It's pretty bad, I know. And it is even worst when I have a lot of work and I write too fast... No, It's not *after* installation, it's *during* installation. Once you have selected the packages and these start to being installed, wait until glibc package is installed, then switch to the console (ALT+F2) and delete the directory. Keep into account that /lib/i686 will be wherever your root partition is mounted in the installation process (somewhere in /tmp I think).
Re: [Cooker] VIA EPIA 800 C3 processor
It seems that the problem is that glibc package from Mandrake 9.0 has some libraries optimized for i686 (with the CMOV instruction) in the directory /lib/i686 and that the Via C3 cpu (which has not that instruction) is detected as i686. So, the solution is to delete that directory as soon as possible, when the glibc package is installed, to avoid programs use those libraries. I can't test this until saturday, so if anybody else can test it (cc. to my e-mail address please). Regards.
[Cooker] Problem with devfs?
I have updated an 8.2 system with the "latest rc3" ;-) Installation process was ok, but there is a problem with devfs. Devfs is loaded without error, but whenever a process try to access to /dev/hdax or /dev/ttyx is not able to do it. With devfs=nomount the system starts well.

From the XFS FAQ: " Q: Why do I see binary NULLS in some files after recovery when I unplugged the power? If it hurts don't do that! Basically this is normal behavior. XFS journals metadata updates, not data updates. After a crash you are supposed to get a consistent filesystem which looks like the state sometime shortly before the crash, NOT what the in memory image looked like the instant before the crash. Since XFS does not write data out to disk immediately unless you tell it to with fsync or an O_SYNC open (the same is true of other filesystems), you are looking at an inode which was flushed out to disk, but for which the data was never flushed to disk. You will find that the inode is not taking any disk space since all it has is a size, there are no disk blocks allocated for it yet. This same will apply to other metadata only journaling filesystems. The current linux kernel VM will write out the metadata after 1/60th of a second and the data after 30 seconds. So the possibility of losing data when unplugging the power within 30 seconds is quite large. The only way of being sure that your data will get to the disk is using fsync in the program of sync after closing the program. " There is also a thread about this in the linux-xfs mailing list. You can see it at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=100607082003066&w=2
[Cooker] Strange problems with lesstif in Mandrake 8.1

Both applications: - Use motif (or compatible) libraries. - Work well with Mandrake 8.0's lesstif. - Work well with Mandrake 8.1 if I uninstall lesstif and install openmotif (I recompiled DDD but not Saphira).

El Mié 21 Mar 2001 12:33, escribiste: > it should be written: > > "To activate the mouse," > "MOVE YOUR WHEEL!" You are right, that is written, but I have checked that, as samebody said before, after moving the wheel, the motion is still erratic for a few (two or three) seconds. Here is another installation report as I promised: - After selecting packages, the installation program said that there was not enough free space in the hard disk to perform upgrading (the hard disk only had 50 Mb free). I stopped installation and I restarted Linux to uninstall some packages so upgrading could be done. But the installation process upgraded rpm databases to rpm 4, so I was unable to uninstall packages!. I had to perform a fresh install keeping homes only. This is not a usual situation, but, when it's present, the damage is very large for an inexpert user (you can fix it without carrying out a fresh installation switching to VT 2 in the installation and doing some things, for example, but not everybody knows how to do it). - I had the feeling that not all packages were present in the list of packages during installation (expert). Is this true? (maybe they were, but I navigated too fast through the installation steps). - The problem of misleading behavior with Microsoft IMPS/2 was not present with a Logitech Wheel mouse. - The problem of imposibility of changing CDs during installation was not present either. Please, note this was a fresh installation and not an upgrade as in my previous report. - I selected some packages with rpmdrake to install them, the program asked for the CD, I put the CD in, I pressed the button but nothing happened. (?!) - ppp is needed by kde-network and apmd is needed by kdeutils. I think these two dependencies must not be present because I can use kde-network and kdeutils without ppp and apmd. - After uninstalling a package with rpmdrake, it deletes the package from the list, so no problem here. It may be that this is related with the fact of being a fresh installation and not an upgrade. - You can't see kudzu screens when it detects new hardware if you use aurora. - Konqueror crashes sometimes if I perform file operations from a shell while showing the directory in konqueror. I was unable to identify the exact operations for crashing konqueror. It crashed once when I deleted the directory (rm -rf) but it didn't crash the next time. See you in next report :-)

[Cooker] Beta1 and beta2 installation report
Hello! I was going to send you a report with my experiences with beta1 when beta2 came out, so I send you a "all in one" report :-) Beta1 was an upgrade of a 7.2 system and beta2 was an upgrade of the beta1. * Problems present in beta1 and fixed (I think) in beta2: - X had ridiculous values regarding memory use in "ps". - kppp was not setuid. - openuniverse did "segmentation fault". * Problems present in beta1 and which may be (or may not be) in beta2 (I don't know due to the nature of upgrading): - squid package was unable to create squid user or group, I don't remember which one now :-( - pspell, pspell-devel, gimp-libgimp and xmms-oggvorbis are "old" packages which were not uninstalled despite the fact that I installed the "new" corresponding packages. - psacct package didn't make the files in /var/log, so I had to create them manually. * Problems present in both betas: - During installation, when it finished copying packages from the first CD, it asked for the second CD but I was unable to change the CD because it was being used for some process. BTW nice pictures during installation ;-). Which ones are going to be in the final release?. I propose penguins' renders or drawings with penguins doing surf, skying, playing football, etc. :-D - A manual entry in grub (menu.lst) for a kernel compiled by myself was deleted. - Makefile in kernel-source should have kgcc as the compiler instead of gcc (or can the kernel be safely compiled now with gcc-2.96?). - iptables-restore is unable to load a file which I have stored with iptables-save. - Aurora doesn't work with Matrox fb device (this happened with 7.2 too). - I had a Microsoft IMPS/2. If I select "generic ps/2 mouse with wheel" in installation the mouse behavior is erratic. I have to select "generic ps/2 mouse". Once installation is over, I can safely select "generic ps/2 mouse with wheel" in mousedrake, it works fine (this problem happened in 7.2 too). - rpmdrake doesn't refresh package list after uninstalling a package. - Doing "supermount enable" manually generates entries for supermount capable devices with noauto option, which I think is not desired. - All directories in /var/log except "squid" and "security" missed their execution permission for all users (including owner)! Ok, that's all for the moment. I hope it will be useful. See you in next report! ;-)

That's what X11 forwarding is for. From the ssh man: If the user is using X11 (the DISPLAY environment variable is set), the connection to the X11 display is automatically forwarded to the remote side in such a way that any X11 programs started from the shell (or com mand) will go through the encrypted channel, and the connection to the real X server will be made from the local machine. The user should not manually set DISPLAY. Forwarding of X11 connections can be configured on the command line or in configuration files. The DISPLAY value set by ssh will point to the server machine, but with a display number greater than zero. This is normal, and happens because ssh creates a ``proxy'' X server on the server machine for forwarding the connections over the encrypted channel. If DISPLAY=somehost:0.0 then X apps are NOT forwarding through ssh.

I was only saying that the chipset was not the guilty and that hardware problems with Athlons are usually related with power supplys (and memory). > Fic SD-11 is a bad board i killed 2 of those, and generally operating any > Athlon system on a 220W or 250W is a gamble or u have a _really_ good one. Of course, but:: "To ensure reliable operation of AMD Athlon[tm] Processor-based systems, an AMD-recommended 250W or larger ATX 2.01 power supply is required for the majority of system configurations. Recommendations are based on the ability of a supply to provide the power sequencing and current requirements of AMD Athlon systems. The current supplied on the +5VDC power rail as well as the combined current supplied by the +5-VDC and +3.3-VDC power rails has been tested on the supplies listed below." And there is NOT a 220W ATX power supply in that list (http://www1.amd.com/athlon/power). I am not saying that power supply is the source of your problems (in fact, I had not read your original message so I didnt' know what problems were :-)), but that a lot of problems many people are having are related with power supplys. And these problems are not so simple as "it doesn't turn on". For example, one of our first systems with a 220W ATX apparently worked well with Windows 98, but when we installed Windows NT motherboard seemed to crash!!!. > Please other users i have tested this setup there is nothing wrong hardware > wise, all devices function propperly under wind*ws.

Most of which cause We have in our laboratory 10 K7 and all of them work flawless with Mandrake 7.0. Motherboards are Asus K7M. The main problem with K7 is power supply. The first K7 had a 220W power supply and it crashed after few hours. Then, our provider bought 250W power supplys tested by AMD (sorry, I don't remember the branch). Since then, no problem. AMD has in its web page a list of power supplys tested. There are also several user pages in the WWW describing problems with K7. Greetings.
