[Cooker] Nautilus
Hello, there is problem with nautilus-1.0.2-1mdk and *medusa?-0.5.1-1mdk. Nautilus cannot start due nautilus: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libnautilus-extensions.so.0: undefined symbol: medusa_system_services_are_blocked. Could you fix it up?

[Cooker] Update-menus (menu package) FIRST AID
Hello! Tomorow I've installed Cooker and menu generation was broken. So I applied my fixes and it works now. 0. First of all you should do 'rm -rf /usr/share/gnome/distribution-menus/Mandrake', but for the first try you can skip this. 1. All changes goes to '/etc/menu-methods'. 1.a. In 'menu.h' comment lines like this '#forcetree' '# System' '#endforcetree' 1.b. In 'translate-menus' change line 'substitute section-section' to 'substitute x - y' That's all. Let me know if does it work for you. Enjoy!

[Cooker] Install from HDD tmp cleaning
Hello, I d/l the whole distro onto HDD to try install it at home. In the installation stage, DiskDrake showed that my depot disk is mounted as /tmp/disk. I cannot change it because it was mounted. OK, that's natural. Never mind. But then: I chose "tmp cleaning" option. And on next boot ... - guess! - my whole distro disk was deleted! Solution might be: - don't write temporary mount point for distro to fstab or - hide that is currently mounted and permit to choose my own mount point.

[Cooker] Kernel + devfsd + int patches
Hello!
1. Do you think already about using DEVFS in your official kernel?
I'm already using it and I'm very happy.
First time when I made kernel with DEVFS I had problems with alsa
drivers - EDS, did'n want to start. So I needed to switch OSS emul on and
here is the patch to /etc/modules.conf and initscripts/sound:
to modules.conf add:
alias sound-oss-pcm snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-oss-mixer snd-mixer-oss
to sound script function load_alsa() add:
grep -E "^alias( |\t)+sound-oss-" $conf_file|awk '{print
$3}'|\
while read line; do L=1; action "Starting alsa OSS
emulation: $line" /sbin/modprobe $line; done
2. Did you already thing about supporting crypto in kernel and
util-linux? (I mean int. patches) I'd like them! (I think I wouldn't
be alone.)
Thanks
Michal

Re: [Cooker] initscripts and the 2.3.99xx kernels
Hello! Chmouel Boudjnah wrote: 4.) hackkernel .spec doesn't set the version correctly. uses 2.3.99-release and not preX-release. As I said, use perl or whatnot to add this to EXTRA in the Makefile Jeff ? hackkernel-2.3.99pre4-1.0mdk.src.rpm It has the "pre" on it. If he is talking about releasing package 2.3.99pre4-XXmdk for 2.3.99-pre4-preXX instead of calling it 2.3.99pre3-XXmdk for 2.3.99-pre4-preXX, then I am not going to bother with that. -- Jeff Garzik Maybe he though that after installing hackkernel-2.3.99preX-A.Bmdk he has in /lib/modules directory 2.3.99preX-A.Bmdk but kernel is "looking for" 2.3.99-A.Bmdk. So there's a bug. Regard Michal PS: (Only for beginners:-)) This means you have no modules loaded after boot. Solution is in correcting modules directory by 'ln -s 2.3.99preX-A.Bmdk 2.3.99-A.Bmdk' or 'mv'.
Re: [Cooker] HELP
Hello Essam, I tried 2.3.99pre4 and I was quite unhappy. I recommend you 2.3.99pre3. I have no problem there. For correct run 2.3.99 you need: -- in /etc/fstab: none /var/shm shm defaults 0 0 (you also need /var/shm directory) -- devfsd daemon running (for backward compatibility - present in cooker (devfsd-*.rpm) and is supported in newest initscripts) -- ??? (I hope that's enough) But I don't know why your XFree stopped working after upgrading to 2.3.99 Regards Michal After installing the hackkernel(2.3.99) I could not fire up my X-server. I got the following message: Authentication Failed -- Cannot start X server Perhaps you donot have console ownership? Please any idea to get around this problem. I have been stucked. Thanks a lot. Essam Hammam.
Re: [Cooker] 2.3.99 kernel and login problems.
Hi! A few weeks ago I wrore solution of this, anyway: In /etc/securetty already is: tty1 tty2 ... To /etc/securetty add lines: vc/1 vc/2 vc/3 ... In case that this doesn't help you, try: 1 2 3 ... Dont run msec batch because it edits /etc/securetty and remming othervalues than tty*. I hope it's helped you. Michal I just tried 2.3.99 with alans latest ac patch and i got problem. I can't login as root from the console. In the log I get login: FAILD LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR root, Authentication failure. If i boot 2.2.15pre17 again it works...

Re: [Cooker] root passwd denied
Hi Will, I try to help you, but I need to know what kernel, initscripts and msec packages version do you use... Regards Michal Out of curiosity I attempted to "upgrade" and selected 'poor' for security. Still no luck and with the custom boot disk and 'linux single' I get boot: linux single loading linux Error 0x10 Obviously my last rpm -Uvh of msec and custom init.sh which only set security to 'normal' should not have caused this. Console logins as root and 'su' from a users account are all affected which was not the case several months ago. I will use a rescue disk and attempt to alter the config files if necessary but was hoping for another solution !? Thanks to those who have responded. William Bouterse
[Cooker] Kernel 2.3.99 devfs problem
Hi! I am using kernel 2.3.99 (from contrib) and I have one fundamental question... Where is my floppy (on /dev) ??? :-)) Thanks for answers! Michal
Re: [Cooker] Kernel 2.3.99 devfs problem
Hello, Jeff! I'm using devfsd since 2.3.99 (new initscripts now counts with devfsd - thanks to Chmouel!). Everything is running fine, but I can't find my floppy. Sugested /dev/fd/0 for floppy is nosence - it's symlink to /proc/self/fd. I'm not sure why, but it's TRUE. Anyway thanks Michal You need to run devfsd, as pretty much the first thing in the boot cycle (in rc.sysinit or similar) in order to get compatibility (you need this!), unless you want to convert your system completely over to devfs. Note that Linux-Mandrake is still essentially a 2.2.x-based distribution, so most packages will not yet work with devfs, unless you are running devfsd to provide compatibility devices, like /dev/fd0 etc. Jeff
Re: [Cooker] Kernel 2.3.99 devfs problem
Hi all! Thanks god Jeff found why I have no floppy... The module floppy was'n intalled! I never thought that floppy isn't statically (!!!) linked into kernel. Shame on me - I must apology to Linus and kernel's devel team... :-)) The problem is always between the keyboard and the chair. :-)) Thanks to all Michal PS: Why not to compile floppy to kernel statically??? :-)) There was no /dev/floppy in the output e-mailed to me privately. It looked like the floppy driver module isn't getting loaded. Michal? Can you try "modprobe floppy" and then see if the floppy works? Jeff
Re: [Cooker] root passwd denied
Hi, after I installed kernel-2.3.99 (from contrib) I had the same problem. But I easily edited /etc/securetty file and root on VirtConsole works again. My /etc/securetty has: # tty1 #for old kernels (without devfs support) 1 #for ones with devfs tty2 2 ... # /etc/securetty sets also Mandrake's msec batch. I hope that this can solve yours problems. Michal
