[Cooker] Very bad cooker install
First off, I had cooker current on my hd as of 14 Jan, '01 UTC. Good news: It didn't touch the Windoze partitions. Bad news: Most everything else. Booted with a floppy containing hd.img. Everything went OK 'til I selected my wheel mouse when it jumped forward to the partitioning screen (presumably because of the mouse acting erratically). Backed up to the mouse screen when it was working again and clicked OK. Backed up to the keyboard screen and selected US International and clicked OK. Back to where I belong if there hadn't been the jump ahead. Selected hdb1 as /boot and hdb5 as /. Selected packages and started install. Called my fiance in El Salvador but every time she answered, she couldn't hear me. Should have known it was going to downhill from there... lol I got several error messages during packages installation saying that various packages couldn't be installed. Pressed on just to see what would happen. Once packages installation finished, install was normal. Rebooted and popped up into LILO. I had selected GRUB. Other than that, boot was normal except for httpd not being able to find a shared library. Didn't bother to write it down 'cause I was planning on re-doing the install before reporting anything here. XFree was configured better than before. No flashing screen (between resolutions?) like with 7.2 before finally presenting me with KDM login screen. KDM presented EVERY user ID on the system, i.e. uucp, bin, daemon, shutdown, etc Only WMs selectable were KDE, failsafe and default despite having installed all the WMs. (None of the WMs were part of the error messages during install.) KDE came up with only KTelnet and Lyx available in the applications menu. Exitted to the KDM login screen to restart. Didn't find that option. Not available anymore? Used the three-finger-salute from a VC to reboot with my 7.2 rescue floppy. Intended to update whatever had changed before doing another install. Found that my partition containing the mirror of cooker had been wiped clean. Anybody interested in any of the files install leaves behind in the /root directory? It's going to be a number of days before I have a cooker to install again with this 56k connection... -- Thomas M. Beaudry - k8la/ys1ztm [EMAIL PROTECTED] Useless Invention: Inflatable anchor.

They cannot understand why I like to try / use Mozilla despite its problems, they cannot understand why I have a colourful screen background and the worst sin of all - not using Windows Explorer and opening a seperate window for every directory. So now you know what I'm up against ! The latest 'Linux is crap because' are : 1) 'Linux is only capable of blocking'. I thought Unix became non blocking about 1980, but I'm not sure. If it did I assume Linux is as well. Sorry, don't know the answer to this one. Guess it was something I never had to worry about. 2) NT / 2000 are completely object oriented from the ground up. Linux / Unix are 'monolithoc monstrosities that wouldn't know an object it it bit them'. I really don't know if the Linux kernel is OO or not. Depends on your definition of object oriented. If you mean written with an OO language, true. NT was originally written in Objective C while the Linux kernel is just plain old C. If you're talking methodology (the correct way to look at it), I can't say for NT having never seen the code. The Linux kernel, kind of yes, kind of no. It is still too monolithic for an OO fan. But it is moving further into the OO universe. 3) 'Linux / Unix is only capable of non pre-emptive scheduling, which is crap compared to the vastly superior MS models'. Again, I have no answer to this. This one is backwards. Windows was non pre-emptive (i.e. cooperative) until the introduction of NT. And it's still partially non pre-emptive. Further, the programmer has no choice about it. Under Unix/Linux, the OS is pre-emptive. There are libraries available allowing you to write programs with non pre-emptive threads. I would further hazard the guess that some of the real-time versions of Unix are totally non pre-emptive to simplify the real-time programming model.

RE: [Cooker] Re: how are users supposed to get added to the audio group?
Which comes back to my original posts, yes this should have been handled by install. But since it wasn't (and your original post only asked how to do it without hacking a /etc file), I suggested using "usermod" to add the user to the "audio" group. So we're still putting up with your whining. Your question was answered but you're mad 'cause I couldn't understand what you really meant by reading your mind... -Original Message- This is going way off the original point I was trying to make: The user configured during installation is not in the "audio" group which is necessary if they are going to be able to hear sound on the gnome desktop.
RE: [Cooker] Re: how are users supposed to get added to the audio group?
Interesting argument about whether Linux will be able to attract Joe Bloe without going brain dead. Anybody remember ten years back when the big argument for M$ over Apple was that although it was more complicated to configure, you were better off 'cause it gave you more control in the end? If you want brain dead configuration, go Apple. If you want buggy configuration, go M$. If you want something that you can make work despite whatever is thrown at you, go Linux. The reality is that we have three different OS's for three different audiences. If Linux dumbs down, it's not going to blow M$ nor Apple out of the water. It's just going to lose the audience it has now as they migrate to OpenBSD to avoid another M$ or Apple...

RE: [Cooker] RE: how are users supposed to get added to the audio group?
Now that you're through whining... Check out the man page for usermod on how to add secondary group privileges to users. This was the standard procedure I was referring to, not editing any /etc file. It's covered in any basic text on configuring UNIX systems. You must have one laying around someplace where you work.

RE: [Cooker] hd.img
Disclaimer: I do not work for Mandrake. I do have twenty years of developer experience as a consultant. Usually as a fireman (not called in 'til there was a "fire to put out" (emergency) ggg). In a beta situation, the ground rules requite that a new version for beta test cannot be issued until all known problems have been verified as corrected by the alpha test. I made this problem known to you some time ago, so of course it was made known to the developer, so becoming a monitored candidate for alpha test. Not any place I've worked at for the last 20 years. Betas are released on a regular schedule. They incorporate any bug fixes placed into the code repository since the last release. If it was done the way you suggest, beta testing would take much longer. The only two faults I see with Mandrake is failure to acknowledge all bug reports and failure to maintain a status database of known bugs accessible to the beta testers. Again, how could such an obvious oversight ever have got past Mandrake's alpha testing? Assuming Mandrake performs beta testing like every place I've worked: It got past the in-house code busters because it was not reported to them as being fixed yet. They only try to bust stuff that is supposed to be working. There's no point in trying to bust code known to be broken. Again, a new beta release does not mean every bug has been fixed since the previous release. This is a heinous waste of beta testers' time, and fairly constitutes emotional abuse inflicted on beta testers who have trusted MandrakeSoft to be doing a proper job. Mandrake is doing a proper job as far as a beta release goes (with the two exceptions I noted about acknowledgment of bug reports and an accessible status list of bugs). If you need stable code, you should be using a production release, not beta. The function of a beta test is to submit the product to externel users with a new perspective on needs and requirements which viewpoint is not available at the developer level. NO!!! That need is met completely by users' comments on the production releases. Also note, when code is released into beta testing, a features freeze is generally implemented. Any such comments would not be worked upon until after the production release following the successful completion of the beta test unless it was a necessary part of a bug fix. The purpose of a beta test series is to catch bugs that even the in-house code busters cannot catch prior to production release. Due to the infinite possible varieties of installations (both hardware and software), it is not feasible for the in-house code busters to catch everything.
RE: [Cooker] [ADMIN] server problem
You mean that all new package releases placed on the mirrors are not supposed to be announced on ChangeLog? Then I guess you would be correct. I guess those unannounced releases I got last night weren't supposed to be available yet... Anyway, Chmouel acknowledged a couple of months back that there was a problem. Both with announced releases not making it to the mirrors and releases making it without an announcement. The first problem has apparently been solved but the lack of announcements for all package releases has not. For those of us who cannot do an rsync and would like to remain current on a daily basis, this lack of announcing all package upgrades is a severe pain in the a**.

Thanks guys.

RE: [Cooker] Too much updates
Nothing is forcing you to upgrade constantly. Why not just download once a week? And let the rest of us who can afford to do so, download daily (or more ggg). -Original Message- On 02-Nov-99 Pablo Saratxaga wrote: Kaixo!

[Cooker] Missing rdev
What happened to /usr/sbin/rdev? It used to be in util-linux* but not anymore...
RE: [Cooker] kdelibs
Not messed up, just not installed. Kdelibs fails to install for some reason (perhaps because kcmclock does not create "default" subdirectory as a symbolic link???). Anyway to fix: (DEFAULT here refers to /usr/share/doc/HTML/default) 1. Rename DEFAULT to anything you want. 2. Install kdelibs with "rpm -ivh kdelibs1.1.2-8mdk". This will create a new DEFAULT implemented as a symbolic link. 3. Copy the contents of the old DEFAULT to the new one. 4. Delete the old DEFAULT. 5. Enjoy things working properly with kdelibs installed now... -Original Message- The kdelibs rpm package seems to be messed up. As a result all my toolbar icons are messed up. Clicking on the xmp icons gives me an error message about pixmap is empty, perhaps some missing file. This is the rpm error message. warning: /usr/share/config/kdebug.areas saved as /usr/share/config/kdebug.areas.rpmorig kdelibs ##unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/HTML/default: cpio: unlink failed - Is a directory
[Cooker] gi_hd Install Problem
Tried to do a new install this morning and at the very end I get a message stating that there's no "/mnt/etc/inittab". I deleted some RPMs last night to regain some disk space. Afraid I may have deleted one too many. Any ideas?
RE: [Cooker] gi_hd Install Problem
Have initscripts-4.23-25mdk. First thing I thought of. Would have had to have been REALLY tired to delete that one... Is there anyway to install initscripts* manually when I get the error message? It does allow a retry of sorts (repeats the X setup). -Original Message- Tried to do a new install this morning and at the very end I get a message stating that there's no "/mnt/etc/inittab".

RE: [Cooker] Panoramix failed on x configuration
You have to configure the mouse with the keyboard before touching the mouse. I remember it being stated on the startup screen someplace. -Original Message- I re-installed cooker with the old installer and installed XF86Setup. It now no longer works at all, no matter what I do. The IMPS/2 mouse is not recognized and causes the mouse cursor to activate the button in the top right corner. I made a bug report 6 weeks ago about this. I think I'm going to put Linux away for a few months and check back in the new year.
