[Cooker] problems running ut2003demo2206

Ok, the final 7.2 version you bought is missing some updates present in the downloadable version and you think you are screwed... fair enough but why so much anger towards the guys at Mdk? Some Individuals are being nasty about it but not all of us. Some times people read emotions into emails that are not there. If any of the developers feel I was attacking them I heartedly apologize as this was never my intent. What is so difficult in using Mdk-update to get your installation updated with the packages from the Mdk 7.2 download edition? Do you need a university degree to do that? Does it ruin your day because you have to download a few megabytes of data? What is your pbm? 1. Sorry but as a end user I feel that KDE 1.99 was not adequate for release. 2. Did you read the email from the russian MandrakeUser? That clearly explains some of the problems with expecting buyers to update after purchase. I accept Mandrake's reasons for letting Macmillian release RC1 as Mandrake 7.2, but I just wished to express my feelings that I felt it could have been done differently. The guys at Mandrake go out of their way to provide everybody with a great linux distro, they listen to all of us when we bitch about packages missing or when we ask them to package more programs and so on. And you know what, they do it because they're a nice bunch of developers dedicated to linux and its success. As a matter of fact, they also need to bring the bacon back home so to speak and for that very valid reason they also need to make money and sell their stuff. They wish to sell their stuff and I am more than willing to buy it. But I won't purchase what Macmillian packages. Nor will I recommend that others do so. Is it not productive to inform Mandrake of why? I greatly appreciate what they have done in producing such a quality distro, but there is always room for improvement, and I feel that marketing of the distro is one such area. I know that comparing them to M$ was a bit harsh and I have not done this. Here is the feeling though; Mandrakesoft had the option to release 1.99 and meet a marketing deadline or wait for 2.0 and hit a quality assurance target (Ok they felt that 1.99 met this. I will accept that explanation). It still leaves the impression that Mandrake was more interested in a revenue maximising marketing deadline rather than qaulity. This may indeed be unfounded but that is the appeareance. I understand the fact that the developers want to be paid and I will be sending them money. I hope this helps to explain some of the dissatisfaction with Macmillian's Mandrake7.2. As for the blatant trolls with the nasty comments; ignore them.

Ah! Finally a reason why the download version is also dubbed 7.2. Although I disagree with the reason (I always disagree with marketing people :]), I can understand it! They are right, they say that if we use two different names, people in the shops would require the newest one, which the shop would be unable to provide. Not necessarily; label the box as "7.2RC1" or whatever, and add a little "sticker" on the cover art boasting "Includes free online upgrade to 7.2 Final!". I know everyone wants to let this die including me but... Marketing would never let Mandrake label the box as 7.2RC1 as that would never sell. So lets label it 7.2 with a little card containing the fine print inside the box. Please think about this for a few minutes. Please cut some slack to those of us trying to point this out. We really are trying to help and not just trolling. That's an unsolvable problem, I think. Not entirely. The product they are selling is NOT "7.2", and shouldn't be sold as such. Just print the truth... James.

If Walmart won't take it past a given date, politely remind them about how well the product is selling at Staples. (Yes lie, make up imaginary sales figures, whatever). As the end buyer of your product, I don't want to see the crap that is being sold as Mandrake. I have installed Mandrake for 4 friends and would like to have them purchase the boxed set and send some money back to MandrakeSoft. I can not do this in good faith knowing what crap comes in that Macmillian box. Fortunately the download version does not have this limitation and holds the updates to 2.0, that are also available in download for retail customers. 2. You had bad experience with it because you apparently purchased the "beginner" version that prices $25. We have removed plenty of "expert" things in it and that's what pissed you off, that's normal. Wasn't there the "PowerPack Deluxe" also available on sales? How about another pricing plan here? Direct sale from MandrakeSoft on new versions. I want to start installing Mandrake on computer's for friends and family but I have no need of the limitations of the "beginners" boxed set, nor the price tag of "deluxe". I would rather make my own ISO and work out a direct payment plan to MandrakeSoft. Yes believe it or not, some of us want to send some money your way, but that Macmillian crap doesn't cut it.

[Cooker] ld-linux.so.2 corrupt?
I sync'ed cooker from rpmfind yesterday, September 7 and went for a really small install of just basic packages and KDE. All the KDE packages crapped out during installation. I booted into linux and tried to install KDE by hand but kept getting dependency errors for ld-linux.so.2 even though it was in /lib. I tried to rewrite from .../mdkinst/lib but of course it complained that the file was busy. I then got really dumb and decided to rename it too ld-linux.so.2old. Word of wisdom to any other newbies. Don't ever ever ever do this. I learn everything the hard way I re-installed but still keep getting errors with ld-linux.so.2. Am I the only one experiencing this problem and how do I solve this?

The RPM is from l-m 7.1 = bzip2-0.9.5d-9mdk as installed by DrakX. What is the fix? Install the bzip2 from cooker? Is this a candidate for MandrakeUpdates? I have kpackage working perfectly as user right now. I still stick by my findings that kpackage works every other build. Previously, clicking on an RPM would launch an older version of kpackage but now it is launching kpackage 2.0pre. I have never gotten any messages about bzip2 causing an error. My error was always about either stopen0 or fdopen0 or something.

[Cooker] Kpackage and KDE2
Chris you wanted to know what happens when an RPM is clicked on in Konqi. Well it works sort of... every other build... literally everyother build. I have been downloading every build of kde2 from Mandrake cooker and clicking on an RPM will open kpackage in one build and then not open in the next and then work again in the next build. It opens the older kpackage (1.9.3?). The plus side is that it is VERY VERY FAST at opening an RPM in kpackage. Opening kpackage from a konsole opens kpackage pre2.0 which looks very pretty but is not fully functional. Click on open and select an RPM in a user's directory promptly causes kpackage to crash with the folowing QToolBar::QToolBar main window cannot be 0. kpackage: KGlobalSettings::initStatic kdecore (KURL): KURL couldn't parse URL "Root Directory: /" kio (Slave): createSlave for file:/home/EDITEDFORPRIVACY/ kio (Slave): PID of slave = 2800 kio (Slave): slave has connected to application kio (Slave): got answer 10 kio (KIOJob): Finished [this = 0x86abe18] kio (KIOJob): stat file:/home/EDITEDFORPRIVACY/GConf-0.7-1mdk.i586.rpm kio (KIOJob): StatJob::slotStatEntry kio (KIOJob): Finished [this = 0x86abe18] kpackage: error in loading shared libraries: kpackage: undefined symbol: fdOpen This is going out as a bug report to KDE and really doesn't belong here, but you did ask what is happening.
[Cooker] Kernel 2.2.17
If I want to manually upgrade to the 2.2.17 kernel from 2.2.16 and I am using reiserfs will I need to follow the directions on the Mandrake update page? Change the following from 15 - 16 to 16 - 17? Important: If you use ReiserFS, please don't forget to do as following after the upgrade: 1 If you used MandrakeUpdate or rpm -Uvh to upgrade, reinstall kernel 2.2.15 from native Mandrake 7.1 2 Type: cd /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk 3 Type: /sbin/depmod -a 4 Type: mkinitrd -f --ifneeded /boot/initrd-2.2.16-9mdk 2.2.16-9mdk 5 You can now remove the older 2.2.15. Type: rpm -e kernel-2.2.15 6 Type: ln -sf /boot/initrd-2.2.16-9mdk /boot/initrd.img 7 Type: ln -sf /boot/System.map-2.2.16-9mdk /boot/System.map 8 Type: ln -sf /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-9mdk /boot/vmlinuz 9 In /etc/lilo.conf add: initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-9mdk 10 Type: lilo -v I also would like to know if anyone has had success applying the kernli crypto patch to the Mandrake 2.2.16 or 2.2.17 kernels? I keep on getting malformed patch at line 229:

RPMs are most usually installed by drag and drop to kpackage - to lose this capability would be a serious retrograde step and make any claim of upward compatibility kde1 to kde2 an untruth. What happens if you double click on an RPM in the konqi window? Honestly, I haven't tried yet, let me know. If you double click on an RPM in Konqi it opens it normally with Kpackage v.1.3.10. This has only recently started working with the newest builds in cooker (July 31). Up untill now, Kpackage would only crash with a process error.

Are the rpm's on us.mandrake using /usr/lib/qt2 or /usr/lib/qt2.1.1? This is also an issue that needs to be addressed. Why is Mandrake using qt2 and Redhat qt2.1.1.? This is a classic example of the need for the LSB. This is a real pain in the ass from the end user standpoint. As far as qt goes.. The current version in cooker is qt2.1.1 (qt2-2.1.1). I really am not sure waht you are talking about here. I upgraded cooker to qt2-2.1.1 the day after it was available from the trolls. I don't think anyone can ask much more. I wasn't very clear here in what I was trying to get across. The qt difference that I was talking about was where RH and Mandrake are putting the qt2 files RH ---/usr/lib/qt2.1.1 Mandrake/usr/lib/qt2 Maybe I'm over reacting but from the end user point of veiw this is a pain in the butt. Does this not cause a problem if a someone using Mandrake decides to grab binary RPM's made by bero for RH and install them? This is was I meant by a good example of the pressing need for a linux standard base. Mandrake claims 99.5(?)% compatability with RH but right now as it stands won't this lead to potential conflicts?. This is not KDE's fault directly, but you might want to suggest that Mandrake and RH agree on a common library directory. It is a tiny difference but it is the kind of thing that can leave a sour taste in the mouths of new users. The other option is that there is no problem and I'm pulling my hair out over something that has a solution allready built in to Mandrake. If I'm correct in the directory naming conflict then isn't the following a problem? http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html #!/bin/sh export KDEDIR=/opt/kde2 export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.1.1 (does this need to be changed to /usr/lib/qt2 for a Mandrake distribution?) export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib I am still confused as to why your RPM's won't uninstall. I think this is a Mandrake specific problem as other packages (ie pine)are also not uninstalling. rpm -e foo.rpm = not installed, rpm -qa | grep foo = bingo installed??? Chris, is this a problem with your RPM's or is this a Mandrake problem? I am cross posting this to the Mandrake cooker list and KDE-alpha list as parts of this thread pertain to each team. Is this OK to do or would the developers prefer that I not cross post? On a more upbeat note... I got the 0608 builds installed and I am very impressed with the quality, look and feel of KDE2. You got me hooked as a die hard fan of KDE. Keep up the good work.
