No nVidia driver will compile, but I expected that as a test kernel. Frame buffer at boot just blanks the screen, which comes back as soon as X loads. VGA=normal in lilo.conf solves that. No major problems to report, ext3 / jbd all load fine. I'll do some more log analysis in the morning about the bttv. Oh, and the alsa 0.9.7 driver is noticeably better sounding on my system than 0.9.6.

[Cooker] Fixed hanging at no more processes...
For the past few days, I wasn't able to reboot/shutdown correctly. All the
processes would be stopped okay, but hang after a message like No more
processes left at this runlevel. I would use the ALT-SysRq sequence to try
avoiding a fsck and then manually reboot or turn off my computer.
Upon some investigation today, I found out that there were no symlinks to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/{halt,killall} in /etc/rc.d/rc{0,6}.d. More specifically:
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S00killall - ../init.d/killall*
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S01halt - ../init.d/halt*
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/S00killall - ../init.d/killall*
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/S01reboot - ../init.d/halt*
were gone. Also, S99local - ../rc.local was missing from
/etc/rc.d/rc[2-5].d
I'm not exactly sure how they disappeared. They might have disappeared upon
upgrading to initscripts-7.06-21mdk. However, I don't know why they didn't
come back after upgrading to initscripts-7.06-22mdk,23mdk, or even 24mdk.
Those symlinks are in the package listing of those last three packages.
I created those symlinks by hand and all is well now.

[Cooker] [Bug 416] [drakxtools] MCC network wizard - doesn't configure cards correctly
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=416 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-27-07 22:32 --- As of Mandrake 9.1 with all official updates applied (as of today), this bug still exists. Something goes wrong when drakconnect reads the configuration details from ifcfg-eth0. In particular, it ignores the value of the ESSID field (the network name), it always says any. Other fields do not get written to the file properly. I have manually configured ifcfg-eth0 and made it read only, this works but it is not very user friendly. Here is something important for developers: to use an encryption key other than 1, iwconfig requires a command line like this: iwconfig eth0 key [2] 13 byte hex number = 26 chars key [2] Note that the keyword key must appear twice, and that the key must be preceeded by [2]. (the second 'key [2]' is stored in the field wireless_iwconfig) In ifcfg-eth0, these two values must be wrapped in single quotes or they cause shell errors when the scripts are executed by the network startup process. Therefore, the control center wizard must wrap them in quotes also, I think. I would love to help debug this, I know Perl from a Windows and command line unix background, but with the Mandrake control center, I can not get any gui debugging sessions working; perl -d: ptkdb crashes out fairly early in the process (even when I debug drakconf --wizard) , and komodo doesn't even begin.

[Cooker] gnome-theme-manager stalls
Hello, Running gnome-theme-manager from the menu or from a terminal, it does not show up and it 'locks up' mouse-clicking in apps. I can still move the mouse around and cycle through windows and workspaces. I can also still type in a window, if I can cycle to it. I just can't click on anything. I tracked the problem to something with FAM. Restarting FAM by doing 'service fam restart' or killing the FAM process, both as root, will 'unlock' the gnome/gtk apps, send any mouse clicks made during the 'lockup', and subsequently show the gnome-theme-manager window. However, I don't the exact cause of the 'lockup' or how FAM is involved. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced any of this. Also during the 'lockup', I can't kill the FAM process as my normal user even though the FAM process seems to be running under my normal user. I get an 'Operation not permitted' error.

Re: [Cooker] wrong compiler
Ah, compiling blender. I had that same exact problem. It's nothing with the alternatives. I think whoever built python, used distcc. The Makefile in '/blender-2.25b/intern/python/freeze' uses a python script to create a Makefile in '/blender-2.25b/intern/python/frozen'. That script inserts some variables used in '/usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile' into '/blender-2.25b/intern/python/frozen/Makefile'. You could change the CC variable in '/usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile' to gcc as a dirty workaround, if you don't want to use distcc.

Hi people, 9.0 is great, but it has some glitches that aren't really comfortable. I hope we can fix those. KMail Addressbook is acting wierd. For starters, after the update, instead of the field Full name, Email-address and Telephone, it uses the fields Save as, Email-address, Telephone. This looks really wierd, but is easily fixed by the user by selecting the correct fields to be displayed. But the next is a bit more daunting. All the visible fields are minimised in their length. They only show a few charcters each. Except for the last, which is streched for miles (it seems). Rearranging doesn't work, yes, you can change their size and location, but the positions aren't saved. Also, when you move the last colom to the front, all other coloms are strechted as long as the last colom was! You can correct it, but at next start-up, it's all back to default.

[Cooker] 8.2 - 9.0 = NV/X troubles!
Hi people, Just wanted to tell you my little story about upgrading my main machine. Maybe it can be solved. I upgraded my own desktop, a Athlon 1.4GHz, 512MB RAM, NVidia GeForce2 DDR. In 8.2, I had the NVidia GLX-package and NVidia kernel installed. After upgrade, I had a hell of a time getting it all to work. Since the nvidia-driver for X isn't shipped with Mandrake, it thought it would use the nv-driver. It didn't. But when I changed XFConfig-4 to use the nv driver, X just exited with a signal 11. Pretty confusing. So, after a little playing around, I decided to reboot into that other OS and download the NVIDIA-GLX en NVIDIA-kernel packages from MandrakeClub (never been happier about being a member!) and after install and changing some of the values I changed to get it to work and running XFdrake, it finally worked again. Knowing a bit about Linux and kernels and (especially important) the NVdriver, I was able to fix the problem. But there are a lot of Mandrake-users who wouldn't be able to. I don't know if this can be fixed in 9.1 or anything, but I just wanted to report it.

[Cooker] Quanta highlighting?
Hi people, I don't know if this is supposed to happen, but the syntax highlighting of Quanta Plus is *really* bad. I make my PHP-docs with Quanta, usually, but this new version (I upgraded today from 8.2) has really ugly highlighting. And it doesn't even recognise escaped quotes!

[Cooker] 9.0 - KMail stops checking mail
Hi peeps, Symptom: After about 30 minutes (haven't timed it, really), KMail doesn't automagically check mail anymore. Also, pressing the Check mail button or choosing it from the menu, doesn't seem to give any respons. KMail doesn't start checking. Even after I quit the program en restart it, it doesn't check mail directly. But... when I open a Konsole and start KMail from there, it works again. Maybe it should be reported to KDE, but I wanted to check with you guys and gals first. Is this a bug, a feature or a 'known behaviour'? -- Regards, Tim Stoop PGP public key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Random quote/fortune: Have you ever noticed that the people who are always trying to tell you `there's a time for work and a time for play' never find the time for play?

[Cooker] [OT?] PHP and --enable-trans-sid
Hi people, This message could be off-topic, but I wouldn't know where else to post it. On my standard work-box (a laptop) I'm running standard ML8.2 and my server (somewhere else on the 'net) runs Cooker. To the point: I noticed that the standard php-packages for ML8.2 are not compiled with --enable-trans-gid, but the variable is set on in the php.ini anyway. In Cooker this is resolved (it's on and compiled with it). This could be confusing (took me a time to figure it out) to other users. I think it's advisable to have new php-packages where php is compiled with --enable-trans-sid for ML8.2.

So.. I decided to run it as root. Program starts up fine. Click on detect cdrecorder just to see if it will detect it even though I know where it is. Error Message -- Couldn't detect your reader / recorder ! Please make sure that you are root or that you're allowed to read /dev/sg* ! It is this way with and without devfs. I tried compiling the sources and still got this message. Anyone have eroaster working on an 8.2 system? Worked fine yesterday before I upgraded to the 8.2 release. If it's a known bug I apologize, I checked the archive and couldn't find anything about it as far back as jan. -Tim Additional Info: [root@aspectfx crazyhorse]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W1210A Rev: 1.08 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 [root@aspectfx crazyhorse]# cat /proc/ide/hdc/model PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210A [root@aspectfx crazyhorse]# cat /proc/ide/hdc/driver ide-scsi version 0.9

I don't have the time, much less the willingness, to roll my own distro CDs, and I'd reckon neither do the majority of overworked admins (let alone whether they have the competence to do so). Mandrake will *NEVER* be taken seriously in business circles with this kind of release snafu. Like someone else said.. in the time you took to write your emails and single out the hard working people at Mandrakesoft and calling them dunces you could have rolled out install CD's or been well on your way to a LFS distro. The whole idea of a point release is a *stable* point release. Oopsing kernels ain't it. Yes, an oops in the kernel is bad. Then again.. Think about one thing. At least the Linux community is trying to work with Windows users by providing SMB support at all. When was the last time you installed Windows and it recognized your EXT2 partitions or any journaling file system? Also, in any operating system, tracking down and fixing EVERY last bug before a release is impossible. I've updated my mandrake installs far less than some other operating systems. If 8.2 has a bug that makes it a non-option for your current working environment and you want to use mandrake, fall back on 8.1 until the update is available. You could always compile your own kernel if all else failed. I know about and understand release schedules and commitments. Believe me. With that said, if the release schedule was so almighty important, then why didn't the kernel maintainers respond and interact with those of us who were reporting this with plenty of time left to test fixes? I was so concerned about the time that I *directly* contacted Juan when it became obvious that not a single Mdk person was going to respond, and still got no response at all. Now the reason the fix isn't in final is that there's no time left. WTF? There was plenty of time left if we could have just gotten someone on the kernel team to take us seriously. This doesn't exactly fall into the gee, it would be nice if xcdroast works (it doesn't)... category - we're talking about frying the kernel by using smbfs, for goodness' sake. I guess that's really the bee in my bonnet - that it was more important to get the release out than it was to get it out working. It's really easy to just say update afterwards. Great, that's cool for the home/hobby crowd, but for those of us who have to maintain and support hundreds of boxen, it's not fun, and it's not funny. It's real time and real money that could be better spent on, say, MandrakeClub and MandrakeStore. In an ideal world a release date wouldn't be that important, however in a market economy you don't always have time to perfect a product before you must take it to market. As a desktop system, a samba bug is not a show stopper. I understand that it would be frustrating for you when administrating a large scale SMB network, but if you know how to patch it, simply submitting the patch as you have done and polite followups will ensure the problem gets fixed, though maybe not for the initial release. Perhaps in your case it would be best not to update all your servers/clients immediately after a release is out. Generally with any OS there is a burn in period where updates are released to fix minor and some major glitches that are discovered in the real world outside of testing. On a side note: Insulting the guys that make this happen is not the best way to get your point across or to ensure that the problem gets fixed. I have a lot of respect for the guys that work very hard to create a great linux distribution. I've used all the major distros and I always come back to Mandrake because I know I can email the devel guys when something bugs me and they will get around to working on it just as soon as they can. Do not take your anger out on the developers when you know as well as I do that the release date was not set by them. I guarantee you they weren't just sitting around twiddling their thumbs. As a network administrator I would imagine you understand what it is like to have someone outside of the IT field having the final say in what you do and when you do it. -Tim McKenzie
Re: [Cooker] Which is better: The Club or the Boxed Set?
snip 1.) Do something like TransGaming. Maybe say, No more release ISO's until we reach profitablity/get 10,000 mdk club subscribers, or something like that. 2.) Make ISO's available only to MDK club subscribers. Possible solutions and very plausible but you have to look at the marketing impact as well. Red Hat, Debian, etc don't have this approach... Unless someone is really set on using Mandrake you stand a very large chance of losing potential Mandrake Club users who choose to go to the other distributions for no pressure downloading of ISOs. I think the user market is still a drain on most linux companies. It seems that right now the best chance linux distros have for profits are by providing for fee services and enterprise solutions. I think leaving the ISOs free is a must right now when Mandrake needs to bring more people to their side. It would probably be best just to push the features of the mandrake club a little more. Possibly make some key components of the Gaming edition available on the club for a modest monthly fee... That may draw in some people, but I'm not sure how much they would lose to licensing, etc. If none of that makes sense it's due to a long day of work.. =) Looking forward to 8.2. -Tim McKenzie Neither are ideal, but both are less drastic than what SuSE did, but still put pressure on people to pay a bit. -Tim

Re: [Cooker] Bug Report: Slow menus
The cause? Gnome re-reads the menus from disk at every click. WORKAROUND Gnome Control Center - Panel - Menu - Keep menus in memory Since Red Hat set that to be the default setting, they have seen a drastic decrease in the number of complaints about Gnome speed. Mandrake should also make that the default. This is hardly a bug.. More like a feature request if you ask me. Though not an all together bad idea I suppose. Maybe for normal installs and not expert ones? [dereks@dev dereks]$ cat /etc/mandrake-release Mandrake Linux release 8.1 (Vitamin) for i586 hrm. should we tell him this list is for cooker ;)

[Cooker] USB Problem..
I just upgrade from 8.1 to cooker kernel + initscripts. I am NOT using devfs so this problem isn't a result of that. I noticed that when I shut down the system before I started upgrading to cooker components, you would see the kernel message about deregistering the USB devices. After upgrading, I no longer see this message on reboot. When the system comes back up my mouse is useless... rmmod mousedev gives me a device is busy error message. I can remove the usbmouse module but without being able to remove and insmod the mousedev there is no way for me to get my mouse back. Anyone else having a similar problem? -Tim
Re: [Cooker] XP - Mdk in multimedia
I know that the pieces is coming about, but I think that some has to think out a solution to deliver a polished and ready package for those that don't give a damned shit about GPL and related stuff. Call it Mandrake Vega or whatever, make it cost but add flash, realplayer c, i.e make a 'haute couture de Mandrake'. both can be download via internet. The ultimate goal is having things included so that the user doesn't have to go get them whenever possible. Working out a deal with the companies that provide the software for free shouldn't be overly hard and it would greatly help the distribution and increase sales for the software provider as well. And take those old terminals and through them out a window, they are truly pathetic with their stupid fonts. No you are pathetic ! ok ? If you still belive that terminal is like DOS so you are pathetic. Terminal will never leave and may never leave. If you don't know the snip The way I read this is that the older terminal programs are hard to read and could use some work on their appearances. No where does he mention the usability so there is no point in attacking his statement. I may be mistaken but that it how I read it. I always keep a term open for quick configuration, etc but there are a few that I hate working with because either the fonts are hard to read or I cannot adjust the appearance as well as I would hope. Calling someone pathetic is hardly productive to the developement of the distribution. -Tim
[Cooker] Stil having USB Problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I've posted this several times with no response as to what might be causing the trouble or if it's being looked at. Currently I am without a mouse due to reocuring troubles in loading the USB modules. When the system boots it says the modules loaded correctly, however I cannot use my mouse. When I try to rmmod mousedev it says the device is busy. Unplugging and plugging the mouse back in, running kudzu, rming the usb module altogether and reloading, none of them have any effect. I use a USB keyboard and USB mouse. Currently I have to just reboot until the mouse works. Anyone else having similar problems? Upgrading to latest cooker kernel, etc haven't helped the situation that I can see. Hardware glitch maybe?

If you tried to reinstall Windows after installing Mandrake, yes you will have a problem, but take that one up with your local MS Admin who lets nimda run all over his network. I've installed the download versions of both 8.0 and 8.1 with a dual boot using Windows 98 and on another machine with Win2k with no problem whatsoever.

Re: [Cooker] gkrellm - no sensors display (not really cooker, me knows)
I'm getting the same thing. In demo I see the temp and the fan in with the CPU info. Interesting, if I enable the fan pluging I get nothing additional. Enabling or disabling the plugins causes seg faults at times. Not sure what is causing it. BTW I'm using an ABIT KT7-Raid motherboard with an AMD Thunderbird 800. Greg I get the same on an Asus board... No info and occasional segfaults. Other than that, I'd have to say 8.1 is great. I've already corrupted several Windows users. ;) I might try hunting down the source for the plugin and try recompiling it later... Tim
[Cooker] Aurora choice in install
I know that I can turn off aurora after I install Mandrake, but how hard would it be to just put a menu option DURING the install. I agree that to most every day computer users the graphical boot up is much more attractive than the traditional text one. Just would be nice for those of us running expert installs on servers and such to have the option of not using it be a check box that is quite visible rather than having to sort through packages and make sure it doesn't install. If this isn't a viable option I apologize, just wanted to offer my oppinion on it and I can see that there are others on the list that agree. I love mandrake, I'm just not too keen on Aurora. =) -Tim
