I have not looked in detail at Gentoo but I understand their general mode of operation. There is no reason they could not have achieved the same results using .rpm rather than .deb. I quoted Gentoo as a source of why some are unhappy with Mandrake as they have reasons why they chose to abandon Mandrake. I think the following is a good read: http://www.distrowatch.com/article-rpm.php Most of that is anti-RPM biased FUD, IMO. I have dealt with RPM for many many years and have had only 1 incident of issue, when I interrupted an RPM installation in process and lost the database. That is one incident in many many years and many many many upgrades. In fact I have moved several of my machines from one RPM distribution to another -- both Mandrake Cooker and whatever the current Mandrake release was at the time to TurboLinux on several machines (when I worked at TL) back to Mandrake Cooker and the subsequently released versions of Mandrake Linux -- all without incident. I have most recently used urpmi to move from 8.2 to 9.0 much the way deb-heads like to brag about upgrading their distros. The last time I did an actual fresh install was the first time I install all these boxes I have here. They have _always_ been upgraded using RPM and urpmi. But lets drop it here, please. If you like .deb, that is great. Choice is the reason we are all fans of OpenSource right? But let's not start pounding the "Mandrake should use .debs" drum yet again. It's boring and tedious. b. I know there is a holy war involved in deb vs rpm, that's why I posted a link and ducked, I personally like debian and debs and Mandrake. -- Steve

[Cooker] cooker updates
Hi, Need some help updating over mandrake control center. When I add my closest mirror, Paris, I have no issues downloading the synthesis.hdlist*.cz files. The problem lies in when I go to download a file from the synthesis.hdlist2.cz list. urpmi basically tels me it cannot resolve the host. any sugestions?

Initially because I had 1G ram it used enterprise kernel, removed 512M of RAM, reinstalled, failed at reboot If raidtab is on /etc how does bootloader/kernel know about md0 & md1. Fails to load Tried a couple of times with no luck oshould I boot from the second install CD ? oDo I need the enterprise kernel ? oShould /etc be on /dev/hde1 [ext2] rather than /tmp? -- Steve
[Cooker] USB Mouse
I have an MSI KT3 Ultra (MS 6380E) with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, when I installed both rc2 and rc3 I was unable to use my Microsoft USB wheel mouse. I looked at the modules that were running and all of the necessary usb modules where loaded. If i reloaded the modules the light on the mouse would come on for a few minutes and then shut off. Once I installed rc3 I was able to use my mouse by using the older 2.4.18. Thanks, Stephen Durham

RE: [Cooker] LILO and Boot Device
When I installed I used Expert Install. I told it to use SDA as boot device but it still wrote boot=/dev/hda to lilo.conf. When I rebooted, the system just sat there with just a blinking cursor. I didn't even get any of the "LILO" display. I set the system to boot from IDE and got "LI" I then set it back to boot from SCSI and ran rescue. I went into lilo.conf and changed the first line to read boot=/dev/sda Everything works fine now. System Config: /dev/sda=/ /dev/sdb=/usr /dev/sdc=/home /dev/hdc=/windows Like I said, everything works fine now. If you're sure it was something I missed, then OK that's fine.

It should be /dev/sda. There is no way from DrakX to know if the BIOS is set up to boot off SCSI first or IDE first, so when there is not guess, it's assumed that IDE is first.

[Cooker] LILO and Boot Device
I had this problem last night when installing 8.1 It may be fixed in cooker, but just in case When installing Mandrake on a mixed system, SCSI and IDE drives, and the system is set to boot off the SCSI drives, LILO writes the boot device as /dev/hdc. It should be /dev/sda. The bios is set to boot off the SCSI and the system was booting off the SCSI until I installed Mandrake. I fixed the "boot=" in lilo.conf and it works fine now Steve
[Cooker] Broken /dev/cdrom link
I did a fresh RC1 install the other day and the /dev/cdrom link was broken. Ditto when I upgraded to the latest cooker. There was no /dev/cdroms directory, no /dev/scd0, and nothing in /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0. Doing: modprobe sr_mod fixed it. Is this supposed to be loaded at boot-time? It tries to do: modprobe scsi_hostadapter at boot-up and that command seg faults. Are they related? Let me know if you want to see config files. It's an Adaptec 29160 (using the aic7xxx module). thanks, Stephen

Re: [Cooker] Pan newsreader segfaults
I found the problem. The get_host_name() function in util.c only returns the first portion of the hostname. That is, mine is "Mjmh3.net.utulsa.edu", and it just returns "Mjmh3". Adding "net.utulsa.edu" to my list of domains to search allows the app to start. Alternatively, editing the source to replace: ptr = strtok (hostname, "."); with ptr = hostname; fixes things. Is the current behavior appropriate? Should I take this to the Pan mailing list? (also, I'd still like to know how to set up a debug build if anyone knows) --Stephen

[Cooker] Problem with Kenwood 72x cdrom
I've had problems with the kenwood 72x cdrom when I've used it with installs. When it comes time to insert the 2nd CD, timing is critical. Putting it in, hitting the close button, and then clicking "OK" doesn't work. Putting it in and hitting the "OK" button closes the CD tray, but doesn't work. I put it in, close the tray, count to 3, hit "OK". I put it in, close the tray, count to 6, hit "OK". I put it in, close the tray, count to 5, hit "OK". Usually sometime close to 5 seconds is about right, but you have to hit it exactly. By the way, this was a problem with 7.2 as well. -- Stephen

Re: Re: [Cooker] licq qt-gui plugin question
I got it working on my Cooker system. The --with-kde option goes on the ./configure line for qt-gui and you have to have the kde-devel rpm installed.

The qt-gui will dock in KDE 2 if you do "configure --with-kde" when you compile it. It worked quite well for me with Mandrake 7.2.

Is it relevant as to how the two data streams are compressed, we are interested in compressing the difference stream. might be to a pure maths type person, bit beyond mine howabout xdelta delta -9 beta3.iso rc1.iso beta_2_rc1_upgrade.gz assuming xdelta can handle 640M files ;-) it's been trundling along upstairs for about 10hrs, but its a p2-233 128M so it could take awhile. perhaps someone else could take a crack at it as well i tried it yesterday with 100M off the front of each iso, but can't remember the size of the result file. i stopped it in order to go for delta'ing the lot. i wouldn't have done that if the size wasn't quite small, maybe 30M if you were tracking mandrake, had pulled the first beta, and had the choice of another 640M or 150M download and 'patching' ??

[Cooker] ISO images - is a binary diff file possible ??
Having only just finished downloading Beta3, the air became slightly colourful when as browsing email I saw RC1 mentioned, closely followed by a 'here we go again' feeling, my computer is definitely moving out of my bedroom. I should perhaps mention my modem, that's why I waited for a slightly longer lasting beta than 1 & 2 ;-) Questions:: 1. Would a binary difference file be possible ? 2. Would it necessaryily be significantly smaller ? 2a. How would it compress ? 3. If it was say 20-50%, would you produce one for the mirrors ? 4. Would it be similar for 'Extension' cdroms ?

[Cooker] 7.2 Beta bug report
I have two machines and a LONG list of problems to report. 1) My home machine has a cd-rw a dvd and a zip drive. You detected and configured the cd-rw, but pointed it at the wrong "device" , instead of pointing it to "scd1" it should have been pointing to "scd0", I had to change this "manually" to correct the problem. 2) The ide-floppy option DOES NOT SUPPORT THE "EJECT" button, on my zip drive. This is a very very serious and frustratingly annoying "BUG". Without "eject" button support, the supermount support of the zip drive is totally USELESS ! I was able to fix this on my home machine, by changing the zip drive to use ide-scsi, instead of ide-floppy, and pointing the device to "sda4" , but I couldnt get this to work on my work machine, which again is frustrating, because , I would like to "show-off" my cool linux machine, which should be just as easy as "windows" but I cant, because of these ugly glitches THIS IS AN OLD BUG WHICH HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ! 3) printer install-config, during printer install and config, i received a very confusing message, saying "cop" server not found. 4) When creating a new partition, the partition MUST BE SET BOOTABLE. If you do not do this , system commander will not see the new partition and add it to his boot menu, and the partition will not be bootable from system commander. This is an OLD BUG, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET !!! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ! 5) Where is "kmenu" it seems to be missing ? 6) When I open netscape I keep getting this annoying message: file:/usr/doc/HTML/index.html is not found HERE IS IT HOW DO i GET RID OF THIS STUPID MESSAGE 7) Networking: I have a 3com network card, it was not detected and configured correctly during the install, I had to configure it manually Post-install. 8) Framebuffer was/is incompatible with high color depth resolution of nvidia 128 graphics card. Framebuffer kernel should NOT BE THE DEFAULT , IT CAN CAUSE TO MANY PROBLEMS FOR TO MANY PEOPLE, IT SHOULD NOT BE ACTIVE DURING THE INSTALL EITHER !! 9) The microsoft intelimouse driver does not work. I have a ps2 micron machine. and no middle button support because of this. how do I get the middle button to work 10) the x3270 menu option was missing. 11) I have a xerox 340 DC and 265 DC remote printer. The xerox 220-230 DC drivers do not seem to work. I was able to select a different xerox model to get some limited support. 12) I have a crystal cs4237B/cs461x chip combo and I cant figure out how to get the drivers for either one or both working. Help me ! This is very frustrating ! 13) THe wine version in 7.2 seems to be very unstable coudnt get "sol" and hearts working. 14) kde logon manager kontrol panel changes dont take effect, i.e. changing the background does not work 15) kde print selections in konquer should be saved. I should not have to keep scrolling thru the list to select the printer paper sizes. this is very frustrating. 16) Security ?? How do I as a normal non-root user get access to the hardware. The cd drives zip drives, sound system and modem should be available at all times to all users of the system. This is again very frustrating. Why is it impossible to have a secure unix system , without losing the normal usablility any normal user would expect. Untill you fix this problem you will never never be able to sell linux as a windows desktop replacement PEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS !!!
[Cooker] ulysses rc.modules symlink missing
Hi there, I'm not sure if anyone's noticed yet, but the symlink to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules in /etc is missing in the ulysses 7.2b ISO. rc.sysinit points to rc.modules in etc, which tends to break things. Steve

[Cooker] Corel WordPerfect 2000 with Cooker ..
Hi there, I just got my hands on a copy of Corel WordPerfect 2000 .. I've installed it, along with running a patched installer from the Corel FTP site for non-Redhat OS's. WordPerfect 2000 uses a funky font server called "FontTastic". Whenever I disable XFS and try to start X, I get an error when X can't find the 'fixed' font.

[Cooker] Invisible mouse pointer in XFree 4.0 + crypto
This may have been fixed, but I just installed hydrogen from the iso. Problems: In XFree 4.0, the mouse pointer is invisible. I'm running it with a matrox millineum G200, 8 MB RAM, Voodoo II, with a logitech firstmouse+ PS/2, SMP kernel on a dual celeron Abit BP-6. The mouse isn't exactly invisible: when you click on the desktop, a little white pixel is illuminated. When you move it over a widget (like the close "X" on a window), it will become highlighted and is functional. The ftp connection didn't work for the crypto stuff; there was a message about not being able to find the file it was looking for. -- Stephen

[Cooker] Mandrake 7 - why didn't you the rsync mirrors up ?
this is rather annoying, now i have to pull either an iso (assuming i can
find it or get into the site) or wait until it appears at a computer fair,
somehow i don't think that will happen by tomorrow.
if the mirror was up, at least it would probably have only been 100m or
so (optimist that i am) change, mind you from a final beta to production,
a 15-20% change seems a bit worrying :-) and excessive.
btw, why does pci_read_config_word return a populated 64bits now ?
byte is still 8bits, word 16, long word 32 isn't it ?

i have source for a pci module, compiles under both M6.5(MCP) and M7.0b3, identical messages from the compile each time. installed under 6.5, it detects the pci card correctly, i have to resort to subsystem_id code to identify the card as either adc or dig i/o. installed under 7.0b(2/3), the call to pci_read_cofig_word returns zero, which sorta means it don't work. the only changes to pci.h appear to be just additional card data, no change to the pci_device structure that diff could see. i was wondering, which gcc compiler is installed under M6.5(MCP), the install cdrom only shows gcc-fr(??) & pgcc ? any other ideas ? the warning related to a pointer casting :-( i hate pointers srp

Re: [Cooker] libbfd-2.9.5.0 where
i have currently 3 boxes up node3 has the kernel source on it, and libbfd node2 is a fresh install and does not for some reason have the kernel sources installed. I took the defaults and did not increase the size value box. I normally select them as one of my defaults. the oxygen-2 cdrom is on /mnt/cdrom when i try to install the kernel I get the libbfd dependacy problem i checked on the other box with updatedb & locate, fed rpm -q whatprovides , & getting a null answer, i asked on the list. unfortunate Drakrpm or drakrpm doesn't exist on either box, kpackage does. kpackage has a find facility, but as far as i can see it works with the installed packages, and i don't really fancy querying every un-installed/new package. so does anyone just happen to know ?

Re: [Cooker] PPP
open an xterm up and try ps aux|grep ppp should be 2 lines, the grep and i don't think you'll have second for pppd tail /var/log/messages when you've tried to connect. something about echo from pppd i had to add a pppd option in the setup (kppp) lcp-echo-failure 0 hope it helps, trouble is i rarely see more than 10k on the kppp details graph now. must check uart is set to 112k !!
