Re: [Cooker] RC2, first impression (video card problems)
If these useless drivers were not included, the user would have to use VESA. That is the whole point of not including them until they work. After that, it would be up to the user whether to install the nvidia binary drivers or not. moment please. Does this problem also exist on geforce2 ? If not it wouldn't be a good idea to exclude this driver. I have a Geforce2 and I don't have the drivers here either. Wish I did, can't wait to get back to UT.

[Cooker] index.html still not right
Cooker update 20:10:18 - 3/3/03 I know this has been asked previously, but as I cannot find a suitable fix for this problem I will ask again.

Re: Religious software (wasRe: [Cooker] what's the mess with the club ?)
The Sword site is as chilling as a knock on the door. The online version is a bit awkward and I did not find adjustments for fuzziness. One basis for inclusion/exclusion is a matter of quality. I gave the Diatheke (online) version a spin. After a bit of fiddling, the search as deceivers led to 2Cor 6:8: By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; (KJV) Another search on the phrase little sister looking for the famous text from the Songs came up dry but the juicier part Verses containing she hath no breasts-- Song 8:8 -- 1 matches total (KJV) works fine. Also the phrase search for dead lion fails but the multiple word search works. Eccl 9:4: For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. (KJV) On quality, I rate Sword a B maybe even a B+ and worthy of inclusion. I am confident it will bring converts to Linux and Open Source. DId you find this review interesting?

Music is not something that is considered part of a specialist group. If these arguments are applied to a specialist group, they all seem very valid.. oh wait, that's what we've been doing.. I ask again. The cooker mailing list is not a good place to have this kind of political debate. The club has forums for this type of thing, so could you continue this discussion there instead please. This was the first paragraph which you so conveniently left out so you could make a point. A point I must add that didn't work. --- Leaving all 'personal' opinions aside, if it's free/open source software, it works, it's legal, and it's not installed by default, there shouldn't be a problem. --- The quote you did use doesn't even come under the heading of being political.

Re: [Cooker] missing window decorations in kde!
by default it seems like the window decorations in kde are all screwed up?!?! you have to change decoration, then logout and login again before it work... $ rpm -q galaxy-kde-kwin I think Laurent still needs to add a : Require: galaxy-kde-kwin to kdebase I submitted a bug earlier and had no way of checking (so I thought at the time) if it had already been submitted. I lost all window borders, couldn't minimize, maximise, resize, close or enter text. Once I figured out how to check for bug submissions I found this and thought it may have something to do with my problem. It did. I must have had galaxy selected, even thought I didn't do it myself. When it went missing KDE did not select another automagically and left me with an unuseable computer. So when I selected another one, everything came back. Now to check out a couple other things I'm worried about. :^) Regards Trevor Rhodes === Powered by Linux- Mandrake 9.1 Registered Linux user # 290542 at http://counter.li.org Registered Machine #'s 186951, Source : my 100 % Microsoft-free personal computer. === 20:42:07 up 3:26, 3 users, load average: 1.00, 0.60, 0.25 -- You love your home and want it to be beautiful.

[Cooker] Segmentation Fault
This is a strange problem that is hard to describe under any particular heading. I run Setiathome and have never had a problem with errors till I updated the beta two days ago when the errors started (immediately). ./setistack: line 99: 2440 Segmentation fault ./setiathome -stop_after_process -verbose I just thought something was corrupted, so deleted the whole seti directory, downloaded fresh copies and run it again. It immediately errored in the same fashion and has continued to do so through another two reinstalls of seti and another update to the beta. Does anyone else run seti and encountered any errors?
