- What was wrong in 9.2 development process? Enhancement requests should be handled first and all defects from previous releases fixed or closed. - We though a bit late in the 9.2 development process to split cooker ml, we should do it now. I agree. I am interested in printing and laptop development stuff only for the moment.

Also, focus on having stable/accessible/current mirrors. - What should we do to improve the Wiki. - Should we have cooker snapshot ISOs? I think these would be unnecessary - What could we do, as a community, to increase the acceptance of mandrakelinux?

Yes, I do to all of these. I no longer go to movies on time because the ads
take 20 mins before hand, of which I did not pay for. I mute the TV when
commercials come on because they are annoying. I focus solely on the road
when I'm driving.
Using bad behavior to justify other bad behavior is wrong.
However, the issue here is that people are essentially getting a
distribution for free and can be subjected to ads to offset the costs.
People who pay, should not be subjected... And I think this is the case.
However, I think that from a PR perspective, this will have a negative
impact.

I think your concerns are unfounded, and I also think you're being a little
silly. Do you close your eyes when you're driving around and see billboards
that advertise stuff? Do you close your eyes and mute the TV when the
commercials are on? Do you leave the theatre because you paid to see a
movie and not a car commercial before the feature starts?
I think you're a little out of line here, personally. It's not that
intrusive, there will be no "plastering" of ads, and once you modify the
bookmarks, they're gone. How many times do you plan to install and actually
watch the entire install (does anyone do that anymore?)
Besides, it's ok to advertise links to OSS and GNU stuff but it's not ok to
advertise Linux-related commercial stuff to make a couple bucks so we can
have another version of Mandrake in the future?
I hate to say it, but it cracks me up how people are so against advertising,
our business model, and things we do to make revenue so that the developers
and others in the company can eat and afford to spend all of their time
working on the distro. Sounds like the community would rather have a nice
distribution but all the developers should be homeless and starving.
(And no, I won't bother contributing to this thread anymore)

[Cooker] Proper way to setup netprofile
Hi all, looking for a little help with this feature. I think it would work really well for people who roam with laptops like I do. Correct me if I screwed this up... In the /etc/netprofiles dir, I just copied and renamed the default to wiredwork, home, wirelesswork. In those separate directories, I configured each interface in the .../network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX. When I run set-netprofile wiredwork, the correct interfaces are stopped and initialized. However, if I have the parameter setup in lilo append =" blah blah PROFILE=wiredwork" I get wiredwork doesn't exist error on startup. Is there something I'm missing?

Although I like the look of having a bootsplash at startup, I've noticed one setback. On my laptop I frequently add and remove a USB mouse. The startup screen hangs on harddrake but I don't realize it until I hit F2. Is there a way to let the user know that new hardware has been detected?

RE: [Cooker] kernel 2.6 / laptop...almost success!
Thanks for the workarounds to try. I have had about the same success as
Adam. The RPM generated and manually re-generated modprobe.confs are wildly
different. I will try the USB workaround but I can't get the touchpad to
work. It's a synaptics touchpad. Also, ACPI does not work for me, if
enabled, it will freeze just after initialization. I had to download the rpm
source and recompile with ACPI diabled.
Thanks all for the info.

RE: [Cooker] 9.2 Req. Laptop Support
Thanks! I will test ASAP. Since most of this discussion was around post install for laptops, maybe a laptop config wizard post install or a Drak tool for laptops? Another slick thing to have would be modules and mappings for "Multimedia keys" and sound buttons. Could the tool take care of that as well? I know there are a ton of different little projects and modules and whatnot but would some one be interested in taking this up? I would for the HP/Omnibook side of things...

[Cooker] 9.2 Req. Laptop Support
I know it's kind of late in the game and it's been discussed before but I was wondering if we could have a "Laptop Installation" class. For now, all it would have to be is: a kernel with ACPI enable and things like SCSI and other stuff not found in laptops turned off. Then for software, just enable ACPI by default and install/configure the suspend scripts. Currently, as an (ignorant) user, I have to make sure to enable ACPI during install, and remember to install the other scripts post install...

RE: [Cooker] For 9.2 - automatic update notification
Two things here: 1. This applet would be squarely aimed at the client side desktop user. Admins are more proactive and selective about what gets installed. 2. This is functionality that is already enabled in competing products. SuSE's is cumbersome and I don't like RH's attitude of having to register and only getting the ability to only update 1 machine. However, I do like RH implementation and I would like to see it in MDK if possible.

RE: [Cooker] rpmdrake and newbies: they sometimes miss *installed* software
Without getting too many feathers ruffled, it does seem to me that enhancement requests seem to fall on deaf ears. I have tried other distros and Mandrake is the best, so I'm willing to give my time, talent, and opinion on the matter. The solution is never "go find another distribution". The idea of showing what is already installed or can be installed/upgraded would be very nice, ala SuSE Yast. Also, maybe if there is a concern about "bloat" and load time, maybe we can enable/disable features with switches?

Maybe you're right, Tom. But this is what I believe to be true, and if I had not come forth and stated what I believed in with no uncertain terms, then I would not have been being truthful about the matter. I'm a silver member myself and I've been passing out copies of cooker 9.1 to neighbors in order to get some help in with the testing process, so we can have a better product in the end. Because believe it or not, I do want this distro to succeed. I don't have as much investment time as the developers here, but I have been in this since almost the first release of Mandrake, and I've been pushing it on people ever since. And companies. I don't mean to step on GC, he after all is doing a good job on the project he was told to do, according to the bidding of the ephemeral "ergonomics team", whom I never heard about until today. But my frustration regarding this has been great because I just can't understand how such a dichotomy or information gap can exist between the user's statements and the development team; especially when there is a mechanism in place to address that very issue. It *does not* make sense. I am certain that there are others that have the same feelings about this, but it seems I am just one of the few that have the temerity to stick my neck out on it. But I've honestly stated my peace on this and others have stated theirs. That's what this list is all about. So if they are willing to leave things as they are then so am I. --LX -- Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk Linux Mandrake 9.1 Enlightenment-0.16.5-12mdk Evolution 1.2.4-1.1mdk Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: [Cooker] Anyone running 2.5 beta kernels with current cooker?
Okay, I am slow... But I do learn ;-) I have unpatched 2.5.66 working right now on a HP omnibook laptop with 9.1 current cooker. The install was fairly strait forward. D/L and unpack source. -make xconfig. (magically most of the options are already correct) -make all -ran generate-modprobe (must install module-init-tools) and save file as /etc/modprobe.conf -make modules_install -make install -ran lilo A new entry will be added to lilo. Reboot. The only issue that I have ran into so far, is that supermount is not supported, nor have I been able to find a 2.5.xx patch. So my NTFS partition can be seen but not VFAT... Thanks to all.

RE: [Cooker] Anyone running 2.5 beta kernels with current cooker?
First off thanks for everyone's help. I made kind of a newbie mistake. There was an article posted to cooker a few days ago about testing the 2.5 kernel. The article made mention to be sure to install the module init tools. So, I dutifully downloaded and installed them. They were no help! So, I uninstalled them and realized there was a MDK version. Duh!! After installing, I can now insmod all my modules no problem. Now, this is probably something stupidly easy, but how do I get my 2.5 modules to load automatically? None of the modules load on startup and for some reason it's not able to see my FAT partition. Other than that, it seems to be working like a charm.

Shouldn't have anything to do with building the kernel, but it could make the difference in booting it. I do have those installed, so that isn't it in my case. When I get a chance I'll build a new config file, making sure that nothing could get picked up from my old one. I suspect that's probably the issue, even though I didn't do a make oldconfig, something got picked up from my 9.1 kernel config.

RE: OT Re: [Cooker] Re: War
IMHO, it's harmless to rename things out of frustration. Yes, we are ignorant in a lot of our naming if things but it's history and pop culture that get to decide those things, not the learned. So, let us have a little fun. Truth be told, we could cripple France's economy if we so desired, but we don't. We are frustrated more than outraged. And it is my understanding that France is not so much Anti-American/Anti-War as they are as they are anti-hurting people. I believe after all is said and done, France will be part of the reconstruction effort... Please correct me if I'm wrong... And yes, it is bad to mix business and politics. So, despite whatever ill will I may feel toward France at this time, I still support Mandrakesoft...

I am. However, i don't want to duplicate existing work, neither to offer yet another repository whereas we all already have our own. My point was just to offer a centralized list of existing resources, and eventually host new ones if needed. I also think we don't really need any endorsement for success, as this would adresse an heavy issue: absolute predominance of oral tradition vs documented and polished policies in the community.

[Cooker] RC HP printer support
Title: Message Hi all, I have "touch" tested some of our production and pre-production printers using Cooker from 3/7/03. This is unofficial and basic feature testing. With the latest Cooker, as mentioned above, some of the problems with PrintDrake that were experienced before, from MCC, seemed to have gone away. I was able to use all the functionality without problems. Also, I was able to print to a dj6127, dj550, and some unreleased products. Thank you for updating the PPDs and including the latest products. Keep up the good work and making it easier to print in Linux... Cory

True. But my point was that I'm sure some people download a beta, report a bug, and then wait for the next beta to see if it's fixed. They could just as easily (and more efficiently) keep their initial install up-to-date with urpmi, and track their bugs every few days.

RE: [Cooker] ACPI Commands
I didn't have to take out that part of the append. I was just laying out my game plan. Should have been more clear on that. I didn't realize that after a resume has been performed, it no longer saves the data. I have since readded the append command and left it there, trying to see if my problem was a fluke or just doesn't work properly on my system. I will do more testing with it later. I had Windows flashbacks of getting stuck in endless loop of resuming if the system crashed for some reason, so I did that step out of haste. Sorry. Thanks for clearing all this up for us...

RE: [Cooker] acpi on dell inspiron 8100
Did you specify turning on ACPI as part of the bootloader configuration during intstall?

All entries seem to be available in /proc/acpi but a lot of things are not working because, judging from /boot/config-2.4.21pre4-10mdk support for 'battery', 'fan', 'processor', 'thermal' is not compiled into the kernel. Is this because they still give problems on some/many laptops. Is it worth the trouble recompiling the kernel to try it out. Has somebody already done this for an inspiron 8100. Does it work? When mandrake 9.1 gold come out will the support for these items be compiled into the kernel? Or is support for acpi still meant to be experimental? By the way kernel-sources needs ncurses-devel.
