[Cooker] perl-MIME-tools-5.411-6mdk breaks sympa (9.2)
(Before posting here I tried bugzilla, but it bugged me grave! It refuses to post... Anyway.) perl-MIME-tools-5.411-4mdk is working fine (last version from Bamboo). After an update to 9.2, sympa breaks. sympa.pl dies immediately. #sympa -d Processing /var/spool/sympa/msg/[EMAIL PROTECTED] with priority 1 DoFile(/var/spool/sympa/msg/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Message::new(/var/spool/sympa/msg/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Can't locate MIME/Decoder/NBit.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/sympa/bin /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1/MIME/Decoder.pm line 171, FILE line 23.

[Cooker] mdkkdm does not accept login
Hi, I installed all kde cooker rpms from last night at ciril.fr. Kde works fine. BUT, mdkkdm is messed up. It works ok if I configure it for no password. Otherwise, it does not accept my correct password (than works in all other apps). I downloaded all kde* to a directory and I did urpmi * (less a lot a i18). I also have to say than before I installed texstar packages for kde-that broke my system first. And also that I upgrade from 9.1 and my kde was crashing with kprinter all the time : the reason why I tried something else on the first place. My question now : how do I debug that? How do I restore to a clean state (preferably cooker)? Regards, Marc
[Cooker] squirrelmail
Nice packaging and it works very well (right out of the box) with imap and apache-mod_php. To be in the next Mandrake release? Will be in Redhat, look at the website: http://www.squirrelmail.org/ SquirrelMail to be included in Red Hat Linux. Jun 21, 2002 by Konstantin Riabitsev Just dropping you a note saying that Red Hat is adopting your RPM package of SquirrelMail as the basis for including SquirrelMail in an upcoming release. Nice work on the packaging, very clean and Red Hat-like. -- Preston Brown Director, Linux Development Red Hat, Inc.

[Cooker] Printing with Canon S400
The update from 8.1 to Mandrake 8.2 screwed my printer. I have a Canon S400 working with CUPS and directly attached to my computer. The installation went fine in the previous 8.1 and I never had problems with it. Now in 8.2, the CUPS admin stuff works and recognize the printer. But when I ask for a test page it does not work. It seems that the (new?) driver multiplies the width by 2. Therefore I obtain the half left part of the document to be printed but with a deformation making it fit the whole page. I hope it's readable :)

[Cooker] newest mod_quickcam.o
Hi, mod_quickcam does not work with my Quickcam Express because the chip is a STV0602-AA instead of STV0600 (the chip the official Mandrake 8.2 -2.4.18-6mdk- mod_quickcam is written for). 1)Everything is in this mail. You can set up that manually like this: -- Salvador Arroyo Fdez Dexxa STV602 patch dexxa webcam STV0602-AA Agilent QDCS 1005 ID: 870 from cvs module hdcs.c function hdcs_init change: line 96: STV_ISO_SIZE, 0x034f to STV_ISO_SIZE, 0x0284 line 115: HDCS_INTEGRATE, 0x9 to HDCS_INTEGRATE, 0x7e add about line 138: if (usb_quickcam_set1(dev, 0x1446, 0x01) 0) goto error; compile an then run as per normal ./quickcam.sh xawtv -c /dev/video0 -geometry 320x240 STV602 sensor patch submitted by Salvador requires testing Using the cvs version which can be dowloaded from the online cvs without checking in all components have to be dowloaded --- 2) or you can sync with the CVS doing: Anonymous CVS Access This project's SourceForge CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. $cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qce-ga login $cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qce-ga co quickcam Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter. (from sourceforge) Then, $make $./quickcam.sh The module is loaded (insmoded) along with the necessary videodev and this time /dev/video* is created (not as before with the 2.4.18-6mdk mod_quickcam). Enjoy :P marc

Hi, would it not be nice to have vi loaded at install time? So that we could rewrite lilo.conf, fstab or other config files Just a (silly?) suggestion. marc

[Cooker] Hard in Inspiron 2500
First, the positive side is the nice rpm install (only a couple of rpm have failed against a whole bunch in 8.1). Now the bad :( The graphical install is not working as it should. The screen brings up a misture of color letting you admit it does not work. But if you are lucky and you decide to click in it, everything appears and the install then goes smoothly in X. (check the attached doc.- there is some complaints of X about a user...) I have a i810 and the new module i810fb seems to work fine. However I need agpgart and the program does not install it! (making booting directly in level 5 fail). !!! my fstab and lilo.conf carry some comments : meaning lines beginning with # And your installer is not dealing with that in a consistent way. Result: I can't have lilo installed from the install session - I have to run lilo after my first boot and using Grub the first time. At mount time fstab is not read correctly for example- dev/#hdc that's not workin' In lilo - your installer removes quotes and then complains about \n and \t in the lilo.conf file. (Yes my kernel names are sometimes large) I tried a no-X installation. There is a bug in the CUPS config. When you 'click' on quit it brings you to one of the precedent menus. Therefore you can not finish your installation and I had to do a cold shutdown (I didn't test F11/12, because there was no mention of that in the curse environment). Also the curse stuff goes out of the screen sometimes - that's a minor detail. ] kernel/system logger ok 4Linux version 2.4.18-5mdkBOOT ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 2731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk)) #1 Sat Mar 9 07:02:07 CET 2002 6BIOS-provided physical RAM map: 4 BIOS-e820: - 0009f400 (usable) 4 BIOS-e820: 0009f400 - 000a (reserved) 4 BIOS-e820: 000d - 000d4000 (reserved) 4 BIOS-e820: 000e5400 - 0010 (reserved) 4 BIOS-e820: 0010 - 17e7 (usable) 4 BIOS-e820: 17e7 - 17e7fc00 (ACPI data) 4 BIOS-e820: 17e7fc00 - 17e8 (ACPI NVS) 4 BIOS-e820: 17e8 - 1800 (reserved) 4 BIOS-e820: fff0 - 0001 (reserved) 4On node 0 totalpages: 97904 4zone(0): 4096 pages. 4zone(1): 93808 pages. 4zone(2): 0 pages. 4Dell Inspiron with broken BIOS detected.

Can it get the time settings from system config like it does with the ethernet and other networking configs. 4. Shouldn't it install the caching name server by default since you can configure it? 5. In the network configuration if a network is set to a private net address could it automatically tag that one as LAN and the other interface ( if a 2 interface machine ) set to LAN. I've got 2 issues at the moment... 1. It's not allowing connections from inside to the caching DNS server. I can directly contact my ISP's server, but not my internal one. Odd. I'm guessing there is another rule needed? 2. Does any of the filtering in squidGuard work? It doesn't seem to catch anyting on either keyword or url. -randy'

Hmm, what is /dev/pg*?
pg is a module wich makes scsi-like a device running on the parallel port and
talking like IDE.
I don't know much but here is my case as example :
I have a backpack cdwriter - module bpck6
running on lp0 - module pcd (then I can mount /dev/pcd0 on /mnt/cdrom)
recognized as scsi by cdrecord - module pg
Go to the linux cdwriting and then follow the links for the paride devices.
marc
Is devices.txt from kernel-doc correct when it
says Parallel port generic ATAPI interface? If so, what does cdrecord
want to do with parallel port? I don't have any parport ATAPI devices,
just plain SCSI cd-writers.
But thanks to that cdrecord will pick-up other devices :)
FWIW, I also wonder why cdrecord doesn't check for /dev/sg* (which I
also don't have). After creating /dev/sg0..9 by hand, cdrecord works.
Why didn't devfs create those devices for me?
andrej and others are working on that now. It's in process. Read the process

Anyone can ask a question and receive an answer for free! (Optional) If you wish, you can choose to pay for support, in which case, we guarantee a response in a given timeframe. See 'Payment system' below for more details. I purchased the boxed edition of Mandrake 8.1. I am also a member of MandrakeClub. That being said, it has been my experience that asking a question on MandrakeExpert is a complete waste of time.You will get a much more satisfying response by asking the family dog. So it worked in the beginning, I was asking questions and getting answers for free. I didn't want (and still don't want) support for money, because I've got a lot of time for waiting;-)). But now Mandrake Expert doesn't work for me since some time: I can 'create incident', next choose 'Community Support' but when I press tab 'Select Experts' there is no experts in the table!. So it's logical that I can't get help from any of the Experts, it seems do not work even in Public incident mode. So is this any way to get free 'community' support at MandrakeExpert. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't what? Or maybe MandrakeSoft makes me to use only payable support? I sent e-mail to MandrakeExpert but didn't get any response. I'd give up on MandrakeExpert.
[Cooker] Backpack (6)
Hi, It's a nightmare to install this guy, at least for a beginner like me. I do $insmod paride $insmod bpck6 $insmod pcd and then I can use it doing $mount -t iso9660 /dev/pcd0 /mnt/cdrom/ 1. But what about having it detected automatically? I noticed that in /etc/modules.devfs there is no mention of pcd device. 2. What can I do to have it scsi-emulated in order to use cdrecord? $insmod pg ; cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.5' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'TEAC' 'CD-W58E ' '1.0A' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * But TEAC is my CD reader included in my Dell Inspiron 2500 laptop. However, it references the bacpack drive. When I setup xcdroast it mentions only the TEAC name but I did the setup with the bacpack values and I made it run. xcdroast reads a cd from the backpack (named TEAC in the program) and writes the track img to the disk. So far it seems that write capability would work (the writing begin but I have currently no available CD :)) (By the way, when I start xcdroast from root I get these messages : ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/mkisofs ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/readcd ** CRITICAL **: file eazel-theme-draw.c: line 1640 (draw_flat_box): assertion `height = -1' failed. ) 3. How can I have my TEAC recognized in some way and then the backpack recognized with its real name? Should I try to pass hdc=ide-scsi to the kernel? Hope that helps. It would be nice to have a wizard to set that up for the newbies (the doc is a nightmare because there is no one-step information in that case). Regards, marc

Hi, is there a chance to have the qce-ga driver in the kernel? (it's not that I have it working!) Is there a working driver for the Logitech Quickcam Express.? I can't get that working despite of the hardware being listed in the Mandrake 'compatibility list' on the web-site.

I tried it ( http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/ltmodem-6.00b15.tar.gz ) on my Dell Inspiron 2500 laptop. The install works seemlessly. I had just a bad surprise with the last and optional step of the process. It's a script called ./checkout and this removes a bunch of modules and does not work.

1. what version of Mandrake are you running?
I run currently 8.1 on this machine (laptop).
2. Do you use devfs? Do you mount devfs?
Yes I use devfs and I pass devfs=mount as a kernel parameter at boot time (as
Mandrake set it up).
3. who created these files? They must not exist with mounted devfs
I don't remember having created these files.
I surely used this script taken from this howto :
http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html
#!/bin/bash
#
# mkd -- a script to create the device special files for the PARIDE subsystem
#
function mkdev {
mknod $1 $2 $3 $4 ; chmod 0660 $1 ; chown root:disk $1
}
#
function pd {
D=$( printf \\$( printf x%03x $[ $1 + 97 ] ) )
mkdev pd$D b 45 $[ $1 * 16 ]
for P in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
do mkdev pd$D$P b 45 $[ $1 * 16 + $P ]
done
}
#
cd /dev
#
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do pd $u ; done
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev pcd$u b 46 $u ; done
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev pf$u b 47 $u ; done

for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev npt$u c 96 $[ $u + 128 ] ; done
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev pg$u c 97 $u ; done
#
# end of mkd
#With the device files and drivers in place, you can
#access PARIDE devices
l#ike any other Linux device. For example, to mount a CD-ROM in pcd0, use:
#mount /dev/pcd0 /cdrom
- end of script
4. Please, next time answer to all people the messages is Cc'd to. I do
not Cc just for fun of it.
Sorry about that.

I also added modprobe pg in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and the trick works. I believe
there is a better way though.

[Cooker] report beta2
I found the NIS option located under the box where I set the root password scary. I don't want the root password to be distributed by NIS (in case it breaks!). I'd prefer another window after this grouping NIS, LDAP (and why not, samba options?). I also found my SiS 620 based PC having rare lines under the cursor (following it , like a shadow effect : in fact I wonder if these lines are not a mirroring effect from some windows in the screen?) that disappears when I walk it on the edge of the screen. All the rest went fine.
