[Cooker] strace

just for kicks I did an strace on cdrecord, and found that I didn't have any

anything but this caught my attention. Is this normal or have my brains 
leaked out?

 Are you sure?  I just uninstalled ntp-4.0.99k-2mdk and downloaded it
 again (my CDs are in a box somewhere), and the only problem I had were
 conflicts with xntp3.  I uninstalled xntp3 and ntp installed just
 fine.  I have no /lib/librt.so so it obviously can't require it.

  I also have a problem with glibc, which makes me think something may be
  wrong with that package, and that is what is causing the problem. For
  some reason /lib/libc6.so shows as GLIBC_2.2 when nothing else does. This
  makes RPM think packages a compile need glibc-2.2 package (when 2.1.3
  comes with 7.2). Again, I reinstalled this glibc package and it still had
  GLIBC_2.2. I admit this could be a package left over from cooker and it
  is not overwriting that file for some reason, but this should be looked
  into as well.

 I have no /lib/libc6.so on my 7.2 install.  Have you been mucking
 around with cooker packages or something?  It doesn't sound like you
 have a straight 7.2 install on your hands and that may be causing your
 problems.

This pertains to all the boot .img files on about 12 of the ftp mirror

 I had the same thing.  When I removed the 'mem=256M' (which I

 You did of course run md5sum for each CD image against the md5sum
 values distributed with the two iso images, didn't you?  If a
 mismatch, use an rsync re-download to correct the bad image - this
 will involve only a minimum of download bandwidth - and do md5sum
 check again.

 You may be able to get another md5sum check direct from the CDs by
 running md5sum /dev/cdrom (but I have never tried it).

 Later:  Tried it (using the device that wrote the CD, in my case
 /dev/sr0, and with the CD loaded, but NOT mounted).I got an
 md5sum match with my downloaded iso image, but neither matched the
 Mandrake-supplied md5sums downloaded with the isos from aarnet
 here.   These latter refer to different file names (ulysses, not
 odyssey). so I conclude they have not been updated and are incorrect.

 You'll have 3 copies of the distro on your machine during making the ISO, the

 They do die. Vacuum anomalies can result in an anomalous positron wiping out an
 ``innocent bystander'' normal electron, leaving the anomalous electron to
 replace it. Since there are so many electrons, it's quite likely that millions
 of them did indeed ``die'' in the forging, delivery and reception of Warren's
 message.
 
 They do move; whether as waves or as particles is almost as big an argument as
 it is for photons, but they do move. In mains (AC) power, they move backwards
 and forwards through the ``sea'' of metal ions (typically copper or aluminium)
 in your power cables, so you're continually using second-hand electrons to run
 your computer.
 
 If you can stop the little suckers from either moving or dying, you will have
 the unlimited attention of a very large number of physicists... (-:

2000-10-04 Thread Dr Michael Powell PhD

The BEST! tip I have gotten is to set:

hdparm -X66 -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3 /dev/hda[from any terminal]

To see the drastic change first do a:

hdparm -Tt /dev/hda   then do the above command

and repeat!  now try netscape or gFTP and see the dramatic increase in
overall system performance, as well as faster downloading and rendering
of web pages.

I forget the website where the tip came from, but this should at least
get you checking it out
If you have any problems, just re-boot and it will reset the defaults

clean install from .iso from 7.2beta2 it allows you to do a customized
install and you could un-select the kernel-fb. Now with 7.2 beta3 you
can't even do that. and in every instance in my install log, it shows
that framebuffering was attempted but video card didn't "like" it. thats
a quote from the log file. Could someone tell me why framebuffering is
used Is it just for Aurora, (apparently)
 if so can we skip it in the future

 The rest of the world is blown up by the sucking Microsoft domination that
 puts HTML as default with their damn Outlook Express stuff.
 
 FYI, the Internet has not waited for Microsoft to invent stuff like email,
 and from long time, till long time, the basic logic was, is, and will be
 to post email as normal text.
 
 Email is used to transmit information; it's focused on the meaning of the
 information, not the way it is presented; you don't need to transmit
 sucking useless information through email. Use the File Transfer Protocol,
 a.k.a FTP for that.

Maybe I'm missing something here but doesn't Mandrake include
Netscape  Messenger to be used! I may be wrong here. I must carry the
equation farther and assume Mozilla is wrong to use also. I read and
post to this board everyday. First you didn't like my title, second you
didn't like HTML, third you didn't like my PGP public key used as a
signature. I have never posted anything against anyone personally on
this list. I assumed it was here for the sharing of ideas and answers to
help all of our readers become more informed and articulate. Now it
seems to be a whipping post for, as one poster called it, "netiquet"
whatever that is. I thought we were free people with freedom to make
personal choices without being slammed.
If there are rules to participate in this forum, they certainly
should be posted regularly as their are new people joining everyday.

[expert] device icons

Hi;

 Can anyone tell me why the device icons (CD's, floppy, zip). Only
appear if your logged in as a user other than root. This is a fresh
install, and have exhausted normal means of finding this problem. LM 7.2
beta 2
 All it says is missing template files, but it finds them in, other
than root, other users!

The discussion wasn't about installation - I had no trouble getting
it
installed.
The discussion was about how the new KDE is harder to configure and
change than
the old one - specifically, I can't figure out how to get rid of the
stupid
task stuff in the panel. I have my windows just hide when I minimize
them, but
under KDE2 they always show up in the panel and I don't like that.
Also, I miss the themes. I'm hoping that as KDE2 grows up the themes
will be
returned.

Yes I mean, 7.2beta1, but I can't figure out a "modules" which pops
up with
error messages, since the Installation program, try's to use the CDRom
and
failes. Thats all, but please check out my other message with the details.

Hi Daniel - by module I meant program, I have 7.2beta1 running on another
machine and when a "program" has a fault an error message comes up with
the option to mail the bug to its author. I'm trying to meet you half way

Hi,
what kind of XFree-Drivers are included in 7.2 ?
Are this the generic XFree-Drivers or vendor-supplied drivers ? Esp.
inclusion of the drivers for Nvidia, Matrox and Voodoo3 with 3d-acceleration
would be great.
cu romal
If you do a custom or expert install of 7.2beta1 and choose individuale
packages you can find the 3dfx module support there.

I found KDE2 to be incredibly flexible. I believe that you can remove
the
taskbar from the kicker panel. The entire interface is based on
customization. Do you really think they'd spend 2 years building something
that couldn't be customized down to the last pixel?
Good luck!

[Cooker] CD-burners

2000-04-07 Thread Dr Michael Powell PhD

I installed a Mitsubishi CD-2801 Burner, re-booted and the system found
it. But, I can read from it or mount it (cdrom2 is not a valid block
device) I need the correct line to put it in fstab, and the correct
entry in the linux.conf file so everyone is happy happy.
