[Cooker] How to report (Am I missing something?)

2003-03-23 Thread Richard Tango-Lowy
During the 9.0 Cooker cycle, I reported my bugs directly to the Cooker
list and most of them got fixed. 

For 9.1, I reported them to Bugzilla--which seemed the right thing to
do--and every one of them was completely ignored. 

This is frustrating. Am I missing something here?

Please, what is the currently-accepted way to report bugs in Cooker?

I second the IBM Thinkpad recommendation. I've been running on an A22p

Which is wrong. This is an onboard ethernet card (Intel Etherpro 100)
and the link is fine.

It looks rather more like a driver problem then (or a new
version of the network hardware, possibly :-/).
If I were you I'd try to grab the driver  (eepro100.c?) 
for Mandrake 8.2, compile it with 9.0 source, replace the binary
module under /lib/module with the generated object then 
see what happens.
If it works, then it will point to a regression in the kernel
driver.
As it seems to exist 2 different drivers for this component,
it would be interesting to check if a different one is selected
for 9.0 then the one for 8.2.

I assume that everything worked correctly under 8.2, btw.

it fixed the DHCP problem I've been having since beta1.

check_link_down() in network-functions is

   sleep 1
   if LC_ALL=C mii-tool $LINK $1 21 | grep -vqs no link;
then

Re: [Cooker] Palm USB hotsync and Mandrake

2002-09-17 Thread Richard Tango-Lowy

I didn't do anything special at all! I plugged in my Visor's USB cradle,
selected configuration-gnome-peripherals-pilot link from the Mandrake
menu, and followed the directions. I sync with Evolution daily. (Until
9.0, I had to use the serial cradle to sync).

The only hitch is that the Pilot-Sync applet hasn't been ported to
Gnome2, so I have to run gpilotd manually.

How does one go about setting up a usb palm cradle in Mandrake???

My problem is the /dev/usb/tty/0 and /dev/usb/tty/1 only exist if i am
trying to do a hot sync but NO Nero Nada data is transfered and if you
hit the hotsync button on the KPalm program it tells you to push the
hotsync button (which already was pushed) (this is with an 8.2? system)

A current Mandrake How-to would help

Re: [Cooker] 9.0 BETA - Bug report / Installation - Upgrading RC1-RC2

2002-09-12 Thread Richard Tango-Lowy

I had the same problem after my rc1-to-rc2 upgrade. I rebooted into
failsafe mode, and harddrake popped up in text mode. I accepted the
defaults and a bunch of the other draktools came up one by one
afterward. Once through those, it booted correctly and has worked since.

I don't think the boot should just hang if one of the tools runs. It
needs to give a prompt or something.

[Cooker] rc1-rc2 upgrade: printer problems

The rc2 upgrade recognized my already-installed hpoj D135 printer, but
wouldn't print a test page. No errors, but no print. I uninstalled and
reinstalled the printer and it now works.

btw, like rc1, rc2 still selects the wrong driver for my OfficeJet D135.
(It chooses the OfficeJet Pro driver). The beta 4 selected the driver
properly.

In rc2, my display manager dies each time I try to reboot, and the dm

/var/lock/subsys/dm when it shuts down.

Removing the lock file and restarting dm fixes the problem, but the lock

[Cooker] rc1: xscreensaver

2002-09-09 Thread Richard Tango-Lowy

The behavior for unlocking the screen has changed in rc1.

pre-RC1: When the screen was locked, you could type in your password and
the screen would unlock. You didn't have to wake up the screensaver
before you started typing the password.

RC1: When the screen is locked, if you type your password the first
several characters are lost. (This is the way KDE's screensaver works
and I don't like it!) The first character wakes up the screensaver,
then you can type the password.

OK. Installing the new mod_php fixed phpinfo(), but the postnuke install

It looks to me like I have an internationalization problem. I installed

Re: [Cooker] Beta 3 (ouch!) Networking

2002-08-16 Thread Richard Tango-Lowy

I think something's mucked up with the IP networking in beta 3. ( I
don't think the problem's in pcmcia, since the low-level wireless tools
are working.) My internal wired ethernet card works fine, but the
wireless card refuses to ping the gateway. The routing table is okay,
nothing changed on the gateway machine, and it worked in beta 2.

Are there any further diagnostics I can use to find out what's
happening?

[Cooker] Beta 3 (ouch!) Networking

2002-08-15 Thread Richard Tango-Lowy

The Proxim Symphony wireless card I've been using from 7.1 through 9.0
beta 2 refuses to work under beta 3. The driver (rlmod) compiles and and
loads and can ping other hosts using the low-level wireless tools that
come with it, but it won't come up on the network. I've tried dhcp (my
normal method) and static IP.
DHCP gives me:

Determining IP information for eth1... failed; no link present.  Check cable?

Static IP will ping myself, but won't ping the gateway.

I noticed that modprobe rlmod shows

/lib/modules/2.4.19-3mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o.gz: init_module:
Operation not permittedHint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module 
parameters,

or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-3mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o.gz
failedmodprobe: insmod rlmod failed

Is there possibly a problem with pcmcia?

[Cooker] Beta 3 (ouch!) Startup and shutdown

2002-08-15 Thread Richard Tango-Lowy

The new bootup and shutdown screens on beta 3 are strange. The
windowmanager comes up before all the services are up. I guess that's ok,
but it (dm?) also hijacks console #1 (ctl-alt-F1), displaying the boot
messages.
If I'm logged into console #1 when I shut down the system from X, the
shutdown screen gets overlayed on my console #1 text. Strange.

2. During X intall, my ATI Rage 128 Mobility was properly detected, but
defaulted to a 640x480 screen size, after I already told it my monitor

[Cooker] 9.0b1 Install Comments

2002-07-31 Thread Richard Tango-Lowy

Installing on an IBM Thinkpad A22p that was running 8.2. The install
went smoothly with the following caveats:

1. On the Services Started at Boot screen, the apmd info pages spells
battery as batery.

2. My Nautilus doesn't display HTML. Should nautilus-gtkhtml or
nautilus-mozilla have gotten installed? (They didn't).

3. There isn't an RPM for gkrellm-plugins, as there was in 8.2. I d/l'ed
and installed it from rpmfind, but it should be included.

4. My HP Officejet D135 printer was detected, but won't print. In
/var/log/messages I see lpadmin: add-printer failed:
client-error-not-possible. The jobs appear to be processed properly,
but nothing actually goes to the printer. The installer also detected my
scanner and gave me a message saying I can scan by typing scanimage -d
hp:mic:usb:officejet_d_series. When I try it, nothing happens.
