[Cooker] VFS kernel panic again?
Hi everybody, I tried installing beta2 a few times and mostly after rebooting, I got something about VFS kernel panic (has been reported before). What I found out is that it only happens if you choose expert install. If you do standard installation and leave most values at default, it will reboot and start wthout problems. Has this bug been reported and am I boring everybody or is it something that hasn't been dealt with. If it ain't, it may be quite important! Let me know if you need more data as I will be reinstalling quite often in the next few weeks (have faulty hardware and I am testing piece by piece).

[Cooker] LM 9.0 Beta1: can't upgrade from 8.2
Hi everybody, here's my bug report: I started an upgrade of the system and everything works until it starts looking for the packages to be updated. It just stops working as far as I can see. No HD activity. no CD activity. I tried three times already, also with "update packages only" and every time I waited more than one hour. There's no hang however but I can't believe it would take so long since I'm updating a MITAC 5133 laptop with AMD K6 475 and 160MB RAM. Alt-F1 says: Entering step "Choose packages to install" Alt-F3 says: (lots of) unknown package sane, etc... getFile Mandrake/base/compssUsers: selecting packages to install If there's more information you need, please let me know. TIA, Marcio Cordero -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
[Cooker] gpilotd crashing
Hi, I've had this problem since I have this new laptop and desktop. I used LM 8.1 and now cooker from 2002/01/11 and I still get the same results. I try to synchronize a Handspring Visor with gnome-pilot and after getting thru the setup and sync'ing for the first time, the gpilot daemon just crashes. I get a segmentation fault and the crash window keeps popping up (as a daemon should) until I kill the gnome-pilot setup assistant. Pilot-xfer works as does jpilot so it doesn't seem to be problem with the connection. Also, it doesn't matter if I try to connect with IR or USB, it would crash the same. As I said it doesn't seem to be a LM 8.1 as it doesn't work with cooker as well. I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks.

Re: [Cooker] napshare instead of gtk-gnutella?
1. SuSE doesn't allow to download the 6 CDs anyway, 2. If you check the last time it was updated, you'll see that gtk-gnutella wasn't updated for over one year and a half. Long development cycle :-). If you compare those two, you'll get the feeling that napshare took gtk-gnutella's source and went on with development (not sure though if this is possible), anyway, it is more comfortable as anyone who has used will tell you. My idea is opening space for much needed programs. Just because LM8.1 changed to three CDs instead of two doesn't mean we need to put "deprecated" software inside contrib that's MHO... > SuSE proved that you can make a 6 CD Linux distro.

[Cooker] napshare instead of gtk-gnutella?
Just a short note: as far as I can see, napshare (napshare.sourceforge.net) seems to be gtk-gnutellas's successor. Shouldn't gtk-gnutella be dropped (since it doesn't seem to be in dev anymore) and use napshare instead? The same applies to gsx, it doesn't seem to be in development anymore. Maybe we could free up more space on contrib branch for new packages dropping packages that have a new development name or that are useless (anyone using gsx out there)? Just a thought...

RE: [Cooker] X on Fujitsu Lifebook doesn?t start after installation, worked on LM8.0
It's not only suspicious, it IS the problem. I just wonder why I did get the graphical login on LM7.2 even though I had the same problem. It used to ask me to check /etc/hosts but only after I logged in. Something must have changed that X doesn't start if your hostname isn't correctly set. Anyway, thanks a lot, it works now.

[Cooker] GDM not working correctly? was: RE: X on Fujitsu Lifebook doesn?t start after installation, worked on LM8.0
As far as I remember I had the same problem with LM7.2. Even though I put a (made up, standalone) name for the machine, it didn't get written to /etc/hosts. LM8.0 solved that problem but LM8.1 seems to have the same problem again in this laptop. Since gdm worked in LM7.2 despite that problem, I guess it isn't that. I am trying right know with the machine's name in /etc/hosts (like I used to solve it in 7.2). I rebooted right now and I still don't get the graphical login. I will reinstall with kdm enabled and see if it works (=> a gdm problem) and then contact the gdm maintainer. Thanks Andrej.

[Cooker] X on Fujitsu Lifebook doesn't start after installation, worked on LM8.0
Hi everybody, I may have found an installation bug. I tried installing LM8.1 on a Lifebook 656Tx and everything went well (expert install, etc) until I get to set up X. It does find the right card, I get the usual resolution (800x600) and 16bpp. It worked flawlessly on LM7.2 and 8.0. But now, after rebooting I get a test console. I DID tell DrakX to start X at every boot, I also did reconfigure with XFdrake and still it didn't change. I tried at least ten resolution/bpp modes (mostly with 4.1.0 but also sometimes with 3.3.6), everytime telling XFdrake to start X at boot. I checked the inittab file and there is runlevel 5 set as default. I looked for a /var/log/X* file and there is nothing. Weird thing No.1: after it finishes booting and I get to the text console, it doesn't make the typical screen movements while trying to load the X-server, nothing. Weird thing No.2: if I log in and type startx, it works perfectly. So that can't be an X-server problem. I tried installing LM7.2 (I don't have 8.0 CDs anymore) and the graphical login worked again, so it can't be a hardware problem. I'm sorry for being little bit off topic, but I think only you guys may know the answer. Some details: Neomagic MagicGraph 128ZV (NM2093) graphic card Pentium MMX 150 MHz Any help is welcome.

[Cooker] CDRom/CD-RW problems with 8.0 RC1
Hi everybody, I upgraded from LM7.2 to LM8.0RC1 and most went well. There is a problem with my CD drives, though. Everytime I try to mount the CD-RW (/dev/hdc resp. /dev/scd0) it tells me of an i/o error. I can burn CDs though and the -scanbus option from cdrecord shows the drive in its place. My second Cdrom (dev/hdd) tells me it's not a block-oriented device or it also prints out the i/o error, depending on the moment. Automount doesn't seem to get the mounting right, too. I had the same problem with cooker while I was testing it and only from my installations from mid-march on it behaved like LM7.2 -that is, correctly. Now, with RC1 I got the same problem again. I will try the 8.0 final release tonight but it still puzzles me. Did anyone experience the same? I'm using automount and the drives in question are a Samsung SW-408B and a generic cdrom drive on a AMD K6-2 400 on a VT82C586B board. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I didn't follow the list for a few weeks and though I checked the archives it doesn't say anything about the hdreiser.img file. I have my mirrored sunsite.uio.no on a reiserfs partition and with the normal hd.img it says "Can't find filesystem" (of course, it's a reiserfs).

Re: [Cooker] Another installer bug?
Thanks for the advice Pixel. I tried it with the newest network.img. But now, I get the message: no net device found when trying to use my (DEC21xxx compatible) ethernet card. On the terminal I get ...have to insmod tulip needs tulip init_module:tulip:Device or resource busy failed warning, insmod failed (tulip(null))... even after chosig tulip by hand. Maybe it's out of topic but I had the same problem while installing LM7.2: during installation it wouldn't find the card, after the first login and using Draknet, it found the net device (Linksys Etherfast10/100). Still, I had to alias eth0 tulip and depmod -a/modprobe eth0 to get it to work. Essentially I had to do all by hand except the dhcp thing. The last network.img I had used (from 2001/01/16) found the card after I chose tulip.o from the selection and I was happy to see the problem fixed. In the newest network.img however, the problem "resurrected". Any clues? Thanks again, Marcio -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

[Cooker] Another installer bug?
Hi, I just tried to install cooker and while trying to format the partitions, I got an error : "could not mount device". It happens since the last update of the installer this morning. It also asks me if I want to format the win partitions! Is this supposed to be? Also, I haven't been able to format to Reiserfs since I first tried to install. It gets the error "failed reiserfs format on hda2" (something in that direction). I'm using the network.img floppy from a mirror. Also, I experienced a "depslist.ordered mismatch against hdlist files" error. Are this bugs on the installer or just not up-to-date mirrors?
