Murrell I didn't realize that pointing out (what seemed like) unexpected behavior from new packages was inappropriate discussion on this forum. I'm not just sitting here with my hand out saying 'feed me answers' The problem didn't exist before on the same machine set up the same way. Seemed to me like a cooker problem. Sorry for my lapse in judgement. Everything I send to this list I do in an, apparently vain, attempt to provide some feedback on "How my Cooker system is working." I guess I should keep it to myself Mark Roach
Re: [Cooker] problems with Mutt/ncurses?
Hi, I don't have plain mdk 8.0 any more, and the problem then was very intermittent, it would occasionally strike pico as well. my current cooker box has this problem constantly, though. I backspace, and the cursor moves back-back-back-forward-back. very strange. by the way, I have tried under another new user account with a fresh homedir, and same results. anyway, my hardware is a straight-from-CDW Compaq IPAQ PIII 866 w/128M I also have an HP USB CD-Writer Plus 8200 series. (come to think of it, this is the only piece of hardware that has been grandfathered along with my workstation) If there is anything else that might help, let me know On Mon, 2001-09-10 at 14:05, Todd Lyons wrote: > In cooker, you wrote: > > I have had this problem with mutt in mandrake since 8.0, and it still > > occurs, not a very big thing, but pretty annoying at times. > > > > When typing in a recipient, or an attachment name, pretty much anything > > in the bottom line, when I backspace, the screen doesn't properly > > reflect the position of the cursor or the character deletion (I'm not > > describing it very well, am I?).

[Cooker] Zope?
I see from rpmfind that Zope was included in Mandrake at one point... has it been dropped?
[Cooker] problems with Mutt/ncurses?
I have had this problem with mutt in mandrake since 8.0, and it still occurs, not a very big thing, but pretty annoying at times. When typing in a recipient, or an attachment name, pretty much anything in the bottom line, when I backspace, the screen doesn't properly reflect the position of the cursor or the character deletion (I'm not describing it very well, am I?). I end up with leftover characters and the cursor in the wrong position. Is anyone else getting this? I have had this problem on 3 different systems running various versions of Mandrake (8.0 >= Todays Cooker)

Use ALSA. install alsa-lib and alsa-utils and put the following in modules.conf alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel8x0 that did it for me.

Well, here's what I have found, in the past, my cooker source has been pointing to the i586 directory, and urpmi has been automatically adding Mandrake/RPMS and Mandrake/RPMS2 I changed it to point to i586/Mandrake/RPMS and it works now. Shouldn't it work how I was doing it, though?
[Cooker] urpmi problem?
starting today urpmi has been failing to install any packages from my cooker source. If it matters, the files are on an SMB share. I removed the media, and re-added it, and still get the same thing. unable to parse correctly [/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.Cooker.cz] ... package xemacs-extras-21.4.4-2mdk.i586 is not found. unable to get source packages, aborting Same message regardless of which package

Thanks.
[Cooker] can't build srpm
I keep getting this message when trying to rebuild a src rpm # ls *src.rpm Zope-2.4.0-1.src.rpm # rpm --rebuild Zope-2.4.0-1.src.rpm Zope-2.4.0-1.src.rpm: No such file or directory Any suggestions? oh yeah, # rpm -q rpm rpm-4.0.3-0.21mdk
[Cooker] no more urpmi group?
I no longer have a urpmi group, is this supposed to be true? what group is allowed to install software now?

It is very annoying.
