[Cooker] [Bug 5079] [devfsd] /dev/dsp not accessable to non-root user after console root login
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5079 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-09 22:53 --- kamstrup: i've seen you report this on two bugs now, and I think you're labouring under a misapprehension of what aumix does. Saving your volume settings in aumix is not intended to restore them on the next boot; aumix's save function is internal to aumix. All it does is let you run file / load next time you run aumix and get them back. If you use ALSA drivers, the ALSA service ought to store and restore your volume across boots, but for this to work it needs alsactl installed. That's in the alsa-utils package, which you might not have installed - if you don't, that's probably the source of the problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: After booting, if I login as non-root user, then I can play sound just fine since /dev/dsp allows write access.

I had to run modprobe -vr to unload the sound modules and then run /etc/rc.d/init.d/sound start to reload them. Thereafter, non-root user could run aumix and play sound. However, the permissions of /dev/dsp remained the same. So what is preventing a non-root user from accessing /dev/dsp ?
[Cooker] [Bug 4925] [zenity] Zenity emulation of gdialog is broken (at least for --menu)

This seems to display correctly, but gdialog would return the odd-nunmbered entries, and now zenity returns the even-numbered entries. 3)Zenity throws away the size information, and builds dialogs that are too small. Here is an example you can test with: $ gdialog --title Fruit shop --menu Choose a fruit 9 20 3 1 apple 2 pear 3 banana You will notice the title on the first column is just Choose, a and fruit are the first two entries in the column. Also, only 2 rows are shown, when there should be three (going on the 9 which cdialog uses). Click on pear (which should return a 2 to the console), and it returns pear to the console. If you apply the attached patch, all these issues are fixed, and choose_cursors works like it did on 9.1 again, with working multi-word titles, well-sized menu dialog, and returns the correct value, so scripts written for gdialog using --menu work right. BTW, for reference, it is useful running cdialog (the original implementation, which original gdialog emulates), which still works correctly in the console, and will quickly show especially the sizing issues. I guess this should be sent upstream, but I just want choose_cursor in cursor_themes to work correctly in as many scenarios as possible ...

[Cooker] [Bug 4344] [alsa-utils] alsamixer fails to unmute sound channels on LM9.2 beta1
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4344 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-28-07 00:15 --- The description of this bug is misleading; the bug is invalid. The volume level is separate from the muted property; that is, a channel may have a non-zero volume yet still be muted. Being muted does not equal having the volume set to zero. Some mixers assume that if the volume is zero and the channel is muted and the user then raises the volume they would of course also wish the channel to be unmuted and thus unmute it, but this is not necessarily the only correct behaviour. alsamixer does not make this assumption, and so if the channel is both set to zero and muted you must raise the volume and also press m to unset the muted property before you hear sound. This is intended behaviour, not a bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I am using the ALSA driver snd-via82xx and have these rpms: libalsa-data-0.9.5-1mdk libalsa2-0.9.5-1mdk alsa-utils-0.9.5-1mdk At boot, the driver's channels are all mutes (at zero). Now, if alsamixer is used to unmute them (set non-zero values), it has no effect since no sound can be heard even if alsamixer shows 100 for PCM and Master. However, if some other mixer (such as aumix) is used to unmute the sound channels to any non-zero values, alsamixer starts working fine. In brief, alsamixer cannot increase the volume (Master and PCM channels) if it starts from zero.

When ifplugd is called for PCMCIA network cards during boot, it starts and begins monitoring the connection correctly. Soon - about a minute and a half after it was started - it exits, seemingly normally, and takes the network connection down with it. The user has to enter ifup eth0 to bring it up again. I couldn't track down why ifplugd was quitting, but it seemed to be some kind of triggered event, not a simple crash. This is confirmed on two network cards on my laptop, one using orinoco_cs wireless driver and one using pcnet_cs wired driver, and by another Cooker user on his own machine. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I have several issues with it. 1. No /dev/rtc is present on boot. This means software like vmware that some of us use for running essential tools under that other operating system don't work well. In fact they barely work at all. 2. Another name collision. This version of the kernel replaced the last version, which worked very well for me. I can restore it, at least I think I have the RPM, but this is the second time we have had a name collision in the 2.4.21 kernel releases. This really shouldn't happen. 3. CDROM access is terrible. I haven't been able to get it to mount since the kernel upgrade. The message is mount /mnt/cdrom /dev/hdc: Input/output error mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified or mount /mnt/cdrom mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist depending on how I try to set up my fstab.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3326 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-15 14:40 --- Arg, you're right, that's a pain - it seems to have been dropped from the Mandrake kernel :\. The problem is that orinoco_cs is supposed to obsolete the wavelan and wvlan drivers :\. I don't know where you can get a copy of the wvlan source to compile, either...what a pain. Have you tested with 128bit encryption? If you could do that, and verify that it works, we could possibly mail the orinoco author, since that'd make two of us who couldn't get 64bit encryption to work. He's pretty responsive - seemed nice when I mailed him with PCMCIA IDs. So that might be the only other option...what a pain :(.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3326 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-14 20:33 --- First off, wrong package. wireless-tools is for the ng wireless drivers, which you're not using. Second, why use scripts? Mandrake can configure all this stuff itself. drakconnect has fields for wireless-specific stuff if you have a wireless card, or you can add them manually to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 . Third, check what driver your card is using. (lsmod). It needs to be the orinoco_cs driver - the old wvlan_cs and wavelan_cs drivers don't support encryption. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Am running 9.1RC2 on a Compaq M700 with a Compaq WL110 (Orinoco) wireless card.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3326 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-14 22:46 --- Interesting - I'm *sure* I read while I was (very painfully) setting my card up manually (under SuSE) that wvlan_cs didn't support encryption. Anyway - my next suggestion...also during that process, I had trouble using a short key of the type you're using (64bit or 96bit?) When I used a 128bit key instead, it worked OK. Could you test this somehow? Set up a 128bit key on your home network, maybe? Unfortunately, if this turns out to be the case, you'll be a bit stuck, I suspect, since I doubt your company will want to change its key just for you :). In that case, you can always get it loading wvlan_cs again, instead of orinoco_cs. Edit /etc/pcmcia/config , find the entry for your card, and change the bind orinoco_cs line to read bind wvlan_cs That'd be a workaround. BTW, I see why you want the script...it ought to work with Mandrake, since Mandrake actually just uses a script that calls iwconfig to apply the settings it writes to ifcfg-eth0. So if you can get encryption working, your script ought to work, no worries on that front. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Am running 9.1RC2 on a Compaq M700 with a Compaq WL110 (Orinoco) wireless card.

[Cooker] [Bug 1952] [drakxtools] drakgw doesn't work due to configuring shorewall incorrectly

Thus I'm closing this bug. Others with similar problems should try latest drakxtools - I just uninstalled shorewall and deleted (well, moved it to a backup dir, actually) the /etc/shorewall directory, then ran drakgw and let it install shorewall and configure it, and it generated a valid config this time. So try that. If you still have trouble, open a new bug. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: I hope this isn't due to a stale config anywhere (I've been running Cooker since before 9.0). On my system, drakgw currently doesn't work. It runs fine and reports success, but the shorewall settings it creates are wrong and break shorewall. It creates a /etc/shorewall/interfaces file with this lines (among all the comments): net eth0detect masqeth1detect loc eth1detect This is invalid according to the comments in the same file, which state that you can only specify each interface *once* in the interfaces file. If a single interface needs to use multiple zones, as seems to be the case, it says these need to be defined in /etc/shorewall/hosts and the zone for the interface should be set to -. The upshot of all this is that the shorewall service does not start, complaining about the multiple instances of eth1 in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This makes internet connection sharing configuration impossible and may break existing setups, which is a severe problem, IMO. I have confirmed this with several ways of setting up internet connection sharing. At first I set up the firewall first then configured ICS, then I removed shorewall entirely and attempted to set up ICS without configuring the firewall. The resulting /etc/interfaces files was the same in both cases, and did not work.
[Cooker] [Bug 1988] [Installation] Upgrade path did not upgrade kernel
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1988 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-13 17:32 --- Are you sure of this? I don't know if it applies to upgrade, but this is what happens in Cooker when the kernel changes: the new kernel package installs itself as /boot/vmlinuz-version. It also creates a symlink to itself as /boot/vmlinuz, removing the previous /boot/vmlinuz symlink which was to the previous installed version. The corresponding thing happens for /boot/initrd-version and /usr/src/linux-version: they create symlinks to /boot/initrd and /usr/src/linux . Thus the top entry in lilo.conf doesn't ever need to change, because it simply points at the symlinks, which are updated by the kernel .RPM. The link added at the bottom of lilo.conf points not to the symlinks but to the actual files, so that when you do multiple upgrades (as Cooker users do) all the kernels remain available from the boot menu (if you run Cooker for a while and don't prune lilo.conf yourself, you end up with a list of previous kernels as long as your arm at the bottom of lilo.conf). So the fact that the linux entry isn't changing doesn't mean that it's not referring to a new kernel. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Using the network.img, I downloaded the RC1 version of MDK and used the Upgrade path.

[Cooker] [Bug 1952] [drakxtools] drakgw doesn't work due to configuring shorewall incorrectly
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-07 16:20 --- So it seems this isn't just happening for me :(. Could the other people who get duplicate lines please vote for the bug so it gets confirmed? And could you also post precise details of your networking setups - how many machines, how they are connected (which interfaces connect which machines), how the host machine connects to the internet, and the relevant IP addresses - to help Florin? Apparently it doesn't happen on his test setup, so it must be something to do with the setup that's causing it. My setup is just two machines, and all the connections are made by NICs - the host machine connects to the internet via one, eth0, and it connects to the other machine via another, eth1. To the guy who doesn't get a duplicate line, that file still looks suspect to me. It ought to put the interface that's connected to the internet in the NET zone and the interfaces that want to share it in the MASQ zone. I particularly don't like the look of that masq detect detect line. What do you think, Florin? --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I hope this isn't due to a stale config anywhere (I've been running Cooker since before 9.0). On my system, drakgw currently doesn't work. It runs fine and reports success, but the shorewall settings it creates are wrong and break shorewall. It creates a /etc/shorewall/interfaces file with this lines (among all the comments): net eth0detect masqeth1detect loc eth1detect This is invalid according to the comments in the same file, which state that you can only specify each interface *once* in the interfaces file. If a single interface needs to use multiple zones, as seems to be the case, it says these need to be defined in /etc/shorewall/hosts and the zone for the interface should be set to -. The upshot of all this is that the shorewall service does not start, complaining about the multiple instances of eth1 in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This makes internet connection sharing configuration impossible and may break existing setups, which is a severe problem, IMO. I have confirmed this with several ways of setting up internet connection sharing. At first I set up the firewall first then configured ICS, then I removed shorewall entirely and attempted to set up ICS without configuring the firewall. The resulting /etc/interfaces files was the same in both cases, and did not work.

Did you read that article the other day about interface cruft? That's exactly what screensavers are.

Added to which, monitor power saving was invented several years ago. I don't remember the last time I *saw* a screensaver on my machine. It displays whatever's on the screen for ten minutes.

[Cooker] [Bug 2507] [glibc] Mandrake 9.1 rc1 installation bugs summary
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2507 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-28 02:20 --- You might try the previous generation nvidia drivers. The 4xxx series appears to have a bunch of bugs that affect different cards in different circumstances with different kernels and different compilers. 3xxx appears to be more reliable, so try that driver and see what happens. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I had posted this page to the MandrakeClub forum, and Dutch asked me to make a copy available to the developers here. Since this is a compendium of the problems I encountered while installing Mandrake 9.1 rc1, it really belongs in several areas of bugzilla, but this is my first time using it and I thought that most of the problems were related to glibc issues so I put the information here. I appologize if this breaks protocol, I only forwarded this information at the request of one of the people at mandrake anyway, and I am not familiar enough with the internals of the distribution to catagorize the bugs or incompatibilies into thier correct bugzilla areas. I tried to use Mandrake 9.1 rc1 for 3-days, but I ran into so many bugs that I had to go back to Mandrake 8.1. Here is a summary of the bugs that I ran into. I am reporting this for two reasons. 1st to notify others who may wish to know before they have to go thru these problems, and 2nd to potentially enable the developers to correct some of these problems: 1. The Removable Media icon on the desktop always hangs the konqueror process that starts when you click on it. The only way to stop it is to pull up the process manager and kill the konqueror process that is hung. 2. The Sort Icons function that shows up when you right-click on the desktop does not work properly. It overlaps the position of the icons the first time you click on it, then it works the second time you click on it. You have to perform the Sort Icons operation twice every time you add an Icon to your desktop. 3. The supermount system works a little better than it used to, but it still has problems. When I tried to install the linux version of Unreal Tournament 2003 the installer kept saying that the cd was not mounted when it was. The only way I was able to get Unreal to install was to modify the fstab file to make the cd mounting manual. Even after I got Unreal Tournament 2003 installed, I could not update it. The Loki update modules cause a seg fault, so the update process is aborted. With no ability to update, UT2003 will not connect with the rest of the servers on the internet, so online play is impossible. 4. When performing the actual install of Mandrake 9.1 rc1 from the iso cds, the Install System section of the install aborts and reboots the computer about half-way thru the 2nd disk (only if you have the show details button active!). 5. The new version of glilbc (2.3.1-10mdk) completely breaks all incarnations of wine/winex. While this is not an actual bug, it is a source of great frustration and loss of utility with Mandrake 9.1 rc1, compared to earlier versions. I heard that when Mandrake 9.1 final comes out it will include browser plugins to allow viewing of Shockwave Flash, and Real Player files direclty within Konqueror. This will be nice and will eliminate one of my needs for wine (crossover plugins). 6. The prboom-gl and glheretic programs compile flawlessly in the new Mandrake 9.1 rc1, but when I try to execute them I get a seg fault. I verified that I have all of the correct versions of all the required librarys, and the compile detects no errors. 7. Under Mandrake 9.1 rc1 glxgears gets about 790 FPS, but under Mandrake 8.1 glxgears gets about 1645 FPS (on an AMD 2100+ with 256M DDR-266RAM and an NVIDIA gforce2-MX400 video card. In both versions of Mandrake the NVIDIA accelerated video drivers version 4191 were used. The NVIDIA drivers were properly compiled, with matching kernel-source for each version of Mandrake. I am not sure why the new Mandrake kernel/KDE would reduce the speed of graphics operations by about half! I was told that KDE worked hard to speed up version 3.1, so I am surprised to see this much difference in speed. I look forward to the continued progress of Mandrake. It is by-far the best distribution available. Keep up the good work guys, Barry Mead I did some more checking and found out that the programs that seg fault on my AMD 2100+ cpu DONT seg fault on my Intel Pentium 3 1.0 Ghz (Giga-Byte GA-6VXC7-4X) motherboard with the same Mandrake 9.1 rc1 distribution. prboom-gl works glheretic works and the Loki update installer files work without seg faults. I think there is an unintentional sensitivity to (AMD vs Intel) with this new OS release.
[Cooker] [Bug 2311] [galeon] Galeon 1.3.2 usability in RC1
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2311 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-25 21:16 --- For a start, I vote the other way - I like 1.3.x, it's faster and stabler for me (1.2.x had an irritating memory leak (I guess) which caused it to crash if I opened too many complex pages at once). It's also important to those of us who run GNOME and want a consistent GTK+ 2 based desktop - the only GTK+ 1 app I still run is Evolution. But for seconds, it wouldn't be easy. Our current version of Mozilla is compiled for GTK+ 2, and you can't compile Galeon 1.2.x against this. So it's not going to happen, guys. Sorry. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: VERIFIED creation_date: description: Hi, I have several problems with the current galeon version compared to the version included with Mandrake 9.0 (german version): - themes do not work at all - several menus are missing (f.e. the very useful preferences menu) - there is much less space for the browser itself (with themes that could be partially solved) - there seems to be no way to remove the bookmarklets If you don't want to have galeon to be a showstopper, I'd very much recommand to switch back to the current stable (1.2.8) version on http://galeon.sf.net and not use the development version for the coming 9.1 release (I did not find one single advantage of the current development version compared to old stable one) Regards, Reinhard
[Cooker] [Bug 2337] [mozilla] MDK9.1/beta3: mozilla cannot download large files (200MB)
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2337 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-24 15:00 --- Note that this will also affect gnome-cd-burner. This is a neat extension to Nautilus - you copy files you wish to burn to CD to the burn:/// gnome-vfs location and then run gnome-cd-burner, which burns them for you. However, it does this by creating an ISO and then burning it, and if an environment variable (I think it's $TEMP) is not set, it puts the ISO in /tmp by default. If this is only 200MB, then it's much too small. Don't know what the ideal fix is, though. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Hi, by download, mozilla creates a temporary file (something.exe) in /tmp.

It may well be ACPI related, but it's not the usual crappy-ACPI-impossible-to-fix issue, because this worked fine up to a few days ago. Now, the boot process hangs if I have my PCMCIA network card inserted. If I leave it ejected, booting works fine, and I can then plug it in and it will initialise perfectly well. The hang on start-up isn't the five-minute DHCP timeout thing, either, because a) I don't use DHCP and b) I left it half an hour and it was still hung.

[Cooker] [Bug 2278] [drakxtools] scsi emulation not enabled for all CD drives
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2278 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-23 23:40 --- Notabug. Emulating SCSI on non-RW drives is not necessary. Burner programs should be able to do disc-to-disc copying without the drives having ide-scsi enabled. If they can't, it's a bug in those programs, report it to the authors. SCSI emulation can cause problems and so should not be enabled if it isn't needed. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Using mdk-9.1rc1. Currently, only ide CD-RW drives are scsi-emulated. If a system has two CD drives (1 CD-RW and 1 CD), the CD drive is not scsi-emulated. This prevents cdrecord from detecting the CD drive and as a result any CD-burning program (xcdroast, koncd) that uses cdrecord cannot do CD-to-CD copy. For a desktop oriented distribution, enabling this feature is very important. So, if scsi-emulation is enabled for one CD-RW-drive, it should be enabled for all CD drives on the system.

On my system, drakgw currently doesn't work. It runs fine and reports success, but the shorewall settings it creates are wrong and break shorewall. It creates a /etc/shorewall/interfaces file with this lines (among all the comments): net eth0detect masqeth1detect loc eth1detect This is invalid according to the comments in the same file, which state that you can only specify each interface *once* in the interfaces file. If a single interface needs to use multiple zones, as seems to be the case, it says these need to be defined in /etc/shorewall/hosts and the zone for the interface should be set to -. The upshot of all this is that the shorewall service does not start, complaining about the multiple instances of eth1 in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This makes internet connection sharing configuration impossible and may break existing setups, which is a severe problem, IMO. I have confirmed this with several ways of setting up internet connection sharing. At first I set up the firewall first then configured ICS, then I removed shorewall entirely and attempted to set up ICS without configuring the firewall. The resulting /etc/interfaces files was the same in both cases, and did not work.

This means, even it had a button stop search now it will not be visible. In other words, there is no way to stop this search. Killing mcc is the only way.

[Cooker] [Bug 1952] [drakxtools] New: drakgw doesn't work due to configuring shorewall incorrectly
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 Product: drakxtools Component: drakxtools Summary: drakgw doesn't work due to configuring shorewall incorrectly Version: 9.1-2mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I hope this isn't due to a stale config anywhere (I've been running Cooker since before 9.0). On my system, drakgw currently doesn't work. It runs fine and reports success, but the shorewall settings it creates are wrong and break shorewall. It creates a /etc/shorewall/interfaces file with this lines (among all the comments): net eth0detect masqeth1detect loc eth1detect This is invalid according to the comments in the same file, which state that you can only specify each interface *once* in the interfaces file. If a single interface needs to use multiple zones, as seems to be the case, it says these need to be defined in /etc/shorewall/hosts and the zone for the interface should be set to -. The upshot of all this is that the shorewall service does not start, complaining about the multiple instances of eth1 in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This makes internet connection sharing configuration impossible and may break existing setups, which is a severe problem, IMO. I have confirmed this with several ways of setting up internet connection sharing. At first I set up the firewall first then configured ICS, then I removed shorewall entirely and attempted to set up ICS without configuring the firewall. The resulting /etc/interfaces files was the same in both cases, and did not work. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
