[Cooker] BETA 2, audio anomalies
The new BETA 2 is a very smooth install. However, had to do an expert install to get my SiS 300 card installed. Perhaps choosing X version should be a choice in Recommended install as well. Also, KDE audio server is not working but the Gnome audio *is* working. Does running soundcfg mess up the KDE audio? Also, when running harddrake, display is tested with garbage at the top of the screen and system lockup--could not even ctrl-alt-F1. This could be because of limitation of my video card or monitor, or maybe some other reason. Found and configured Zip 250 drive on parallel port at first boot time. This made printer installation work after boot, also, since the printer is on the other side of the zip drive. So far, very good. Very good work. Almost ready to stick a fork in to see if it's done.

[Cooker] zip drive not configured
Hello, Just a note. The 8.1 beta did not install my zip250, ie. create a mount. I suppose could be a number of reasons. Larry Braden Catonsville, Maryland
Re: [Cooker] KDE 2.2 update for Mdk 8.0
Any chance you know why Sunet.se's Cooker files keep appearing and disappearing? Each time I tried fmirroring them, it was like I flipped a toggle. I even checked dates/times/versions of the files that would be downloaded and then deleted on the next run and then downloaded again on the third. Hey Digital, I've noticed the same thing about sunet.se ftp site. I think the files are locked against download, possibly until there is confirmation that there's an official release. I think this is done by hand, so they'll be available eventually. Probably they got into trouble sometime back for releasing some files too soon, or some such. This is all just my speculation, and my policy has always been to let the ftp admins do what they want, and appreciate the fact that I'm allowed to be guest. Best wishes, Larry Braden Catonsville, Maryland
[Cooker] KDE audio
I installed and uninstalled Freq3 yesterday. The KDE audio server was giving messages out repeatedly that it and ARTS did not recognized /usr/share/sound as a format.
Re: [Cooker] trouble with CDROM on Mandrakefr 8.0
Hello all, My CD drive is an atapi Acer 40x and a Creative CDRW being scsi emulated. When I boot with a cd in the drive I can access it from terminal. If I change CDs can't access it either as root or a user. Using the software manager, I can't access cdroms so I am not able to add or update packages that require cdaccess. Neither can I access /mnt/zip as root or user. Seems to be supermount. Thanks all.

This is the case with root and users. FSTAB says supermount is set up for iso9660. Any ideas on what I need to do? The OS was just freshly installed. thanks sincerely, Larry Braden, Catonsville, MD 21228

Re: [Cooker] Latin-american keyboard and MDK 8.0
I am getting another problem. Using Gnome, I can't type the 'r' key or the 'R' key. However, in KDE I can. I'm without a clue right now.

The AltGr key (the right side Alt) + another key doesn't work. For example, you can't type the @ symbol (AltGr + q). The installer puts a Xmodmap file in /etc/X11/xinit for the latin-american keyboard layout, but by default it's not parsed. Looking around I found that changing the following line in /etc/sysconfig/i18n correct the problem: in /etc/sysconfig/i18n: XKB_IN_USE=no to XKB_IN_USE=yes With this, the script /etc/X11/xinit/fixkeyboard parse the Xmodmap file, and the keyboard works perfectly.
