[Cooker] Encoding problem in DrakX tools
Hi, running latest and greatest Cooker. Using Czech environement, all messages in DrakX tools translated in Czech show up correctly, but the font is messed. They look as if a ISO-8859-2 message is displayed in ISO-8859-1 charset (i.e. all most accented chars are displayed wrong.) I bet thus must be the case for all other non-ISO-8859-1 languages. All DrakX tools are affected. All other GNOME2 / GTK2 programs show Czech correctly, all GTK1 programs too, and DrakX for GTK1.x used to display them correctly too. Perhaps a Perl+GTK2 bug? Just a blind guess. Would recoding to UTF-8 of all .po files help? (This is required for all GNOME2 apps now). Michal

[Cooker] Gtk+/Glib 2.0.x update
Hi, could an update to gtk+2.0.9 (and possibly Glib 2.0.9) make it into official MDK9.0 updates? Among other fixes, version 2.0.7 solves an important problem, namely: * GtkIMContextSimple updates for Eastern Europe [Stanislav Brabec] which allows to type all Czech characters into GTK+2.0 apps. Without that (as ships with MDK9.0), you cannot type in about half of our international characters (for East Europe), which makes any GTK+2 application, err, hard to use. I myself use Cooker, but since Cooker is on GTK 2.1.x series, I am very hesistant to recommend this upgrade to my friends, who run into this problem. Please. I used those packages once I was on Cooker, and the 2.0.x series did not cause any problems - I think it should be safe and would make GTK2.0 apps as shipped with MDK9.0 actually usable for Eastern Europe region. Thanks, Michal
[Cooker] QA Bugzilla questions
Hi, reading a slew of invalid bug reports for Mandrake Linux 9.0 and so on, I understand that this Bugzilla is for current Cooker only. 1. The question is, why there are product version dating way back? for example, for mozilla package, there is a version 0.9.8 (!). I think this contributes to point 3. 2. The navigation is less than perfect. Could you consider adding a standard footer as seen on bugzilla.mozilla.org or bugzilla.gnome.org? Specifically, I would like to see whether I am logged in, quick links to My bugs, predefined queries, etc. 3. Slowness... Any hints why would that be? I am actively using both bugzilla.mozilla.org or bugzilla.gnome.org, as well as some local installations at companies I worked for, and all of them were reasonably fast. Perhaps https contributes to the problem? Huge number of packages? How about creating a meta system (i.e. GNOME-2, KDE-3, Apache), covering all packages related to that area? 4. qa.mandrakesoft.com, IMHO opinion, looks like QA for a stable product, hence the possible confusion and reports for MDK 9.0 bugs. What is QA, anyway? Questions and answers? Quality assurance? Perhaps you could consider moving this to cooker.mandrakesoft.com. Anyway, thanks for Bugzilla. Way better than mailing-list/archives only problem reporting and follow-up confusion. Michal

Both core dumps, still old good xanim plays this fine ;-) - neither allows me to specify subtitles for DivX movie (those pesky *.sub files). mplayer does only autodetection, no GUI, but will not allow me to recode. xine only allows me to specify subtitles via command line, no GUI. - xine preferences dialog is really something horrible :-( - the fancy GUI is also not that great, rather confusing, in both, although I belive there is a skin for gmplayer that is reasonably simple and plain. I hope apps like totem will be able to provide a non-fancy interface for me, but none of the apps are there yet as well (I tried sinek, totem, vlc-gnome). All in all, both xine and mplayer are still not there yet. Both did not arrive to 1.0 version yet, though. So until then, no perfect video player for Linux, at least for my needs.

I found the problems of blinking windows - I have a launcher on my
desktop, that had a .GIF as an icon. Nautilus always tried to launch
this and failed, then gave up after several times.
Removing the launcher from my .gnome-desktop fixes the problem, Nautilus
seems to work now.
I think this will be resolved by gdk-pixbuf update, I have to wait until
mirrors sync up.

[Cooker] Removable media icons in Nautilius
Hi, when mounting and subsequently unmounting a CDROM (dev/hdd, via Nautilus right click menu on desktop), the CD-ROM gets mounted, but when unmounting, the CDROM icon stays on the desktop. Upon subsequent mount of another or same CD, Nautilus reports an error (/dev/hdd already mounted). The CD *IS* mounted correctly, though, and I get another icon on the desktop. If I would repeat this, I get the whole desktop cluttered with obsolete icons. These icons have to be manually deleted from ~/.gnome-desktop, no way to remove them via Nautilus. Worked OK on MDK9.0, now running up-to-date cooker except for kernel (now have 2.4.9-16mdk). Michal

[Cooker] Build environement problem for GNOME CVS apps

I had a similar problem with my DVD drive because it did not have region
initialized. Once I did it (I found the necessary utility and
instructions as part of libdvdcss library), problems gone.
And indeed, this is also the case when you try to read encrypted DVD and
not have decss library installed. This library cannot be distributed by
Mandrake because of idiotic laws in the USA (yes, the country of
freedom and liberty :-).
Perhaps you will find more information here:
http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=1369
http://perso.club-internet.fr/farzeno/firmware/
and of course, there are some packages (that incidentally work with
Mandrake, but do not come from Mandrake) that include decss on

Re: [Cooker] GNOME2 bugs/remarks - SOLUTION found!
So I finally found out what is causing the problems I describe. The guilty is: GKB Keyboard Switcher! - 100% reproducible, even for new user - just add it to a panel, define two keyboard layouts, define your switching shortcut (I did both Shifts) - log out and save your session, log back in Voila, your click to focus inside window is gone! Can you reproduce this, Frederic? The correct metacity behaviour can be restored by removing the applet, logout and login back. Michal

[Cooker] GNOME2 bugs/remarks
Hi cooker, just installed MDK9.0 and it looks great. There are some problems I ran into: 1. No way to switch window managers. I looked at a lot of places, but there is metacity running and no way to switch to something else (via a GUI) 2. Sawfish advanced options will not work. In GNOME Control center, going to Advanced/Sawfish and clicking on any icon has no effect :-( I even tried to remove ~/.sawfish, still the same. Michal Bukovjan

Looks like Click to focus option is broken, as it does not work in other applications too. I tested the Point on focus option, and that one works as expected. Since Click to focus is the default option, I suggest that Mandrake folks look at it and possibly fix it. Problem 2 - occurs also under KDE. The freeciv client has the same modality problem under KDE, so I guess this is something to bug freeciv developers. Michal

I tested and keyboard focus works correctly with metacity in click-to-focus mode with mozilla.. So, give me a 100% reproducible test case.. So I was also able to test under sawfish. Problem 1 (focusing) does not occur with sawfish. Problem 2 (freeciv) occurs under sawfish as well, so it must be a bug of the new freeciv client. I got more simple testcases for problem 1, 100% reproducible on my fresh 8.2 upgrade to MDK 9.0: a) start two gnome terminals - clicking into the other terminal will neither bring the other one to top, nor give it keyboard focus. I can select the text with mouse in the non-focused one, though... b) Start two Nautilus views (say on your home dir). I cannot switch windows as well, nor the other window comes on top. c) Mozilla is an exemption to this - its window will come on top, but no keyboard focus. d) I also tried two KDE apps (Kate), same behavior as a) and b). IMPORTANT: All of these cases appear when you click *INTO* the window (any point). Both focusing and raising *work* correctly if I click on window header or window decoration (border) of the corresponding window. Both focusing and raising work correctly in all cases with sawfish and KDE window manager. I've even checked the metacity theme, it is not dependent, though. Michal
[Cooker] VIA686a sound problems

And also remember default ALSA setting, for some insane and stupid reason, is to mute everything, so you have to run alsamixer(gui) to get any sound in the first place. I am pretty sure they (ALSA drivers for VIA686a) are broken in MDK9.0/ALSA 0.9rc2. I enabled them by hand, and the sound was unmuted and volume was working - but instead of sound (GNOME events, xmms playing - via ESD, OSS, ALSA plugin, I tried everything) it resulted in some distorted sounds. That's why draksound will not even offer them (which is correct decision from Mandrake).

[Cooker] OpenOffice.org suggestion
There is a Czech version of OpenOffice.org available at: ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/local/openoffice-cz/ Just the resources compatible with cooker rpm package are available at: ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/local/openoffice-cz/OOo_1.0.0-normal-resources.tar.gz Since there are other localized versions of OOo available as well, would it be possible to split the OpenOffice.org package into something like: OpenOffice.org-1.0.1-5.rpm OpenOffice.org-locale-en-1.0.1-5.rpm OpenOffice.org-locale-fr-1.0.1-5.rpm OpenOffice.org-locale-de-1.0.1-5.rpm OpenOffice.org-locale-cs-1.0.1-5.rpm ... and thus provided localized versions of OOo? Just like the kde-i18n-* is split... Michal

[Cooker] TOra Oracle developer tool

I haven't tried that rpm (always compiled myself). I understand that it can be used for other DB, never did that, though... Perhaps Mandrake could also try to ship Oracle client libs (in PowerPack, or whatever...) - I am not sure about licensing, though. This would make life of a lot easier for (Oracle) developers or potentially deployment of front-end apps with DB connectivity. Michal

My system would behave funny if I didn't have this one :-) Maybe it was some leftover from my previous experiments, I think it does not occur anymore. But I got more exact way to reproduce: It is not when I click Apply second time, actually. The sequence to reproduce: 1. Start lineakd 2. Start lineakconfig 3. Click Apply in lineakconfig (it sends -HUP to lineakd). OK at this point 4. Press an assigned button on my keyboard to perform a command (like running a g-calc when I pres Calc button) 5. When I click on Apply now, an error message appears: Error: Could not find lineakd running (1). LinEAK configuration not changed. 6. Now I have to close lineakconfig, kill lineakd (which is running anyway), and restart both. Note if I do NOT skip step 3, lineakconfig cannot be closed and I have to Ctrl+C from parent terminal. Also, restaring just lineakd helps as well. After I circumvent these issues, lineakd seems to work for me (will have to keep it running for some time to see).

I am not sure if it is related to Mandrake, I have a cs_CZ dictionary installed in /usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook/cs_CZ.[aff|dic] When there is no ~/.openoffice profile, one is dynamically created. Everything is set up correctly, except for the dictionary symlinks; symlinks for en_US.aff and en_US.dic are created (pointing to /usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook copies), but symlinks for cs_CZ.aff and cs_CZ.dic are not. I suspect this would be the case for any other language. After manually creating the symlinks, everything works just fine. Using OpenOffice.org-1.0-2mdk (works great :-) on Cooker. Michal

I don't tink this people pay any royalties (matrix ss for MacOSX): Probably, or probably not. But we can't risk our asses just because we *think* that it's ok to use xmatrix without some sort of licensing. I'm sure that was what I felt when I removed it. Anyways, I think you do the correct thing. Perhaps a candidate for PLF site ? Or even that could be dangerous ? How about actually asking for permission the copyright owners? Since they distribute their own screensavers for free, I don't think they would be against, since it's a kind of promotion for free. And the problem would be solved.
[Cooker] Nautilus and garbled JPEG images
I am glad to report that the problem with Nautilus and scaled images introduced in MDK 8.2 ( I described that some time ago) seems to be fixed by upgrading to libimlib1-1.9.14/gdk-pixbuf-loaders-0.17.x from cooker. Great job! Michal Bukovjan
