Re: [Cooker] gFTP 2.0.11 bug
Thanks and I agree with you and usually send bug reports to the app developer but my experience with gFTP's developer regarding bugs has not been good. He seems not to want to hear about them so I just stopped sending them direct, preferring to go through the cooker teamwho of course are ALL nice people. ;-) Yura Gusev wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"> On Mon, 7 Jan 2002, anonymous wrote: Totally concur.

But you should also sendthis bug report to the author if this bug is not mandrake specific.

[Cooker] gFTP 2.0.11 bug
I am reporting a bug that has been present in the last few versions of gFTP. When a selection of files has been made for download and the download has begun, you cannot remove more than about 5-6 (sometimes trying to remove 1 is enough to lock it up) of those files from the download list without it crashing the program. Actually, lock up the program is more the correct term as the program has to be xkilled. There is no way to recover from this that I'm aware of. You must restart the program to recover. Regards, Jason

[Cooker] Morpheus, Cooker Version
I was wondering if anyone on the list knows of a graphical version of the Morpheus p2p client under development for Mandrake Linux. I know there is a command line version of the Kazaa media desktop client which connects to the same network but it has no GUI at present and is VERY limited in function. Cheers, Jason

[Cooker] Guarddog Firewall Case Study (and possible bug?)
I wrote this email to the guarddog developer but thought it could be helpful to some on the list... My email follows: Dear Simon, Thank you for all your hard work on Guarddog. It is an easy to configure firewall utility. I ran across a unique situation and possible Guarddog bug today that I thought you'd like to know about. I also have a couple of feature requests if you're so inclined... =) I ran guarddog and got my firewall all configured. I was then connected to the Internet and had my KDE panel crash. By the way, I am running Mandrake Linux Cooker with Kernel 2.4.16-11. I had an app crash (gFTP) and was attemting to kill it. Just when I thought XKill was not coming up and clicked on it again in the panel, it came up at that exact moment and killed my panel. So, I of course had to restart X. When I came back in and connected to the net, I couldn't open web pages or download mail (or FTP or), in short, I couldn't access the net, though I was connected properly. I tried EVERYTHING I could think of, short of reinstalling Linux (which would have worked but I would never have known what caused my problem in the first place, besides, reinstalls I try to leave to the Windoze crowd..). I uninstalled ppp and reinstalled it. I made sure that no more than 1 instance of KPPP was running so there were no port conflicts etc. Then I hit on the idea that maybe my firewall was screwing things up (since my browser did not seem to even attempt to connect to the server). So, I uninstalled guarddog and rebooted, to no avail. Then I recalled that guarddog is really just a frontend to ipchains/tables. So, I thought maybe the guarddog config file got screwed up somehow. I reinstalled guarddog, reconfigured it and voila, it worked again and I had full net access. I thought this might be helpful to anyone wondering why their network conncetion seemed to be dead, if they run guarddog. So, I wrote to tell you of this situation and to suggest a few mods. Maybe guarddog can be changed so that if its configuration (ie. a prohibited protocol) somehow prevents net access, a dialog box could pop up letting the user know why access was denied. This would have been helpful in my situation as then I would have known exactly why I was denied access. Guarddog could also be changed to be application, not just protocol specific. This way, if an application was denied access to a network, then the user could override it manually for that application only. This could be set up so that the app would have access on an ongoing basis or just for the instance the permission was granted for. This type of a setup would be great for newer users who may know whether or not they want a specific application to have network access but may or may not know the protocol it uses. Also, many users might not understand that a good firewall such as guarddog, not only prevents inbound traffic on certain protocols but also outbound/user traffic as well. I know watchdog is more along the lines of a realtime firewall but some of these small changes to guarddog would be great, if it's possible. Maybe a small system tray utility could run in the background after the intitial guarddog configuration showing current firewall status, port probes etc. This would go a long way to assisting users in knowing how their firewall was functioning and just what exactly it was protecting them from. I (like many Linux users) came from a Windows background and used to run ZoneAlarm, which seemed to be a good (and easily configurable/intuitive) firewall and from which a lot of these concepts I've discussed come from. One feature guarddog has that I really like over ZoneAlarm is the ability to prohibit access on a protocol, not just applicational basis. Just some thoughtsand thanks again for your efforts, they are appreciated. Would love to hear your thoughts on the idea. Kindest Regards, Jason Greenwood
[Cooker] sndconfig error
I installed the latest cooker and ran sndconfig to set up my soundcard and this is what I got: modprobe error The following error occurred running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.4.16-11mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.16-11mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.16-11mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.16-11mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: insmod sound-slot-0 failed Regards, Jason
Re: [Cooker] gFTP
With the latest Cooker, gFTP crashes when doing a directory compare, then trying to delete files in the left (local) pane. Also, mandrake control center doesn't run at all. I think it might be something to do with the updated QT libraries Anyone else having problems?? Cheers, Jason
Re: [Cooker] gFTP
I thought this might be the case so selected only 1 file for deletion and poof, there went gFTP anyway!! So, I guess we just have to wait for the next cooker version eh? Thanks for the idea though.

[Cooker] XINE
I have a question for the list. It regards the XINE video player. On the cooker mirrors I can find all the XINE plugins etc. but not the core RPM. Does anyone know where this is? I found a few XINE RPM's in various places but none of them run. Also, anyone know of the state of development of this program, as it will advance the Linux desktop a long way having a unified video player that plays most formats?
Re: [Cooker] Mandrake Control Center dead?
When I ran it in the terminal I got the exact same thing. H, I wonder??...

Re: [Cooker] XINE
Thanks for all your input guys. I installed all the relevent RPM's then ran usr/bin/xine and the ui came up, then immediately crashed. The ui looks great (for the 2 seconds I get to see it anyway =), a huge leap from the old ui. But, I just can't get it to run no matter what. It would be really great to try out this program as I've heard lots of great things about it but even when I got older versions to run, some of the codecs must have been wrong as the video was all screwy (barely visible). I'll keep playing with it though...

Re: [Cooker] XINE
Well, I had a nice long email all ready to go on this one but Netscape locked up and then it was history.SO, to make a long story even longer, it worked. There was some sort of frame buffer or segfault error caused by a file in the XINE DVD NAV RPM. So, I uninstalled the RPM (which admittedly IS in the beta stage) and voila, it worked. AVI and ASF files still don't play but mpeg's do. I think other codecs are in the works. The audio also synced well.
