I don't know of any way to do it bash, either. But, if you know
that Perl is installed (via other dependencies, or whatever),
you could run a little Perl script from bash to tell you which
endian is in use. E.g.,

  endian=`perl -e 'if (unpack("V", pack "L", 0x1234) == 0x1234) {print
"l";}else{print "b";}'`

will assign either 'l' or 'b' to $endian.

[Cooker] Undefined Symbol in latest libfontconfig1 crashes KDEINIT

2003-09-12 Thread Bill Greenwood

Undefined Symbol in latest libfontconfig1 (2.2.1-6) crashes KDEINIT

Tried submitting this to Bugzilla, but would not take it,
so here it is:

Trying to start KDE with the latest packages, XFree starts and
a dialog box pops up on the top left corner stating:
Could not start kdeinit

After pressing Okay, crashes back to console.

Three errors show, and they are all related to: libfonfig.so.1
Stating in part: Undefined Symbol: FT_Get_BDF_Property

Recently upgraded system from pre 9.1.

2.4.21-0.25mdk works for me on a machine which displayed the bug before.
Many thanks I no longer need to use an old kernel.

Machine is an IBM T23 with 900HMz PIII (376MB RAM, 1GB swap) and Mandrake
9.1 + 2.4.21-0.25mdk installed. All partitions are XFS.

As the poster of bug 1562 I don't understand how it ever got
closed.  Development systems using gdb under Mandrake 9.1
with XFS file systems still only seem to work if a non 9.1
kernel is used (see bug 4000).

Please reopen this bug!

My pleasure.  I'm happy I give back to the open source community
because I take a lot from it.

I sent an e-mail about it to Cooker list many months ago but
it didn't get noticed.  Bugzilla is definately the way to report

[Cooker] [Bug 3554] [inn] New: inn installed but not active at current runlevel gives annoying e-mail

2003-03-27 Thread bill
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3554

   Product: inn
 Component: program
   Summary: inn installed but not active at current runlevel gives
annoying e-mail
   Version: 2.3.4-2mdk
  Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: minor
  Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When the two cron jobs in /etc/cron.hourly and one in
/etc/cron.daily run without inn being active at the
current run level they exit with a status code of 1
which cron reports by sending an email to root.

I changed these files to this to fix this problem:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cron.hourly]# cat /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend 
#!/bin/sh
! /sbin/chkconfig innd || su - news -c /usr/bin/nntpsend

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cron.hourly]# cat /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-rnews 
#!/bin/sh
! /sbin/chkconfig innd || /usr/bin/rnews -U

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cron.hourly]# cat /etc/cron.daily/inn-cron-expire 
#!/bin/sh
! /sbin/chkconfig innd || su - news -c "/usr/bin/news.daily delayrm"

It has been this way for several releases.

'ps aux' shows the entire command line.  Wide output should only
be produced with the w switch (i.e. 'ps auxw') and the entire
command line should only be produced with the ww switch (i.e.
'ps auxww').

Output has been correct in prior releases.

Negative. The script does it's probing, and spits back information, but
does not send the serveraid into it's death spin. Any other suggestions?
This certainly seems like a show stopper to me.

Yes, really sure.  No USER.DAT files with a date later than
November 5th, the day I upgraded, on two different servers.

I had a problem after installing samba-server-2.2.6-4.1mdk where
Windows would/could not update our users roming profile.  When
they logged in they would get a message about "Your local profile

RE: [Cooker] MDK 8.2, 1024 MB RAM

I would suggest running memtest86 (test #5).  I have purchased
PC133 memory twice that fails test #5.  Memory not up to spec
causes all kinds of strange errors.

I have been running 8.2, and now 9.0 for some time on kernel
large memory support.  No problems (other that a weak power
supply causing spontaneous reboots - replaced with 400W).

RE: [Cooker] BUG: chkconfig true is false

2002-10-24 Thread Bill Shirley
Thanks for your reply.  It really clears things up.

> In shell scripts, 0 is true, 1 (or any other non-zero) is false,
> allowing for error codes.
>
How counter intuitive!!  I have had beginning C programming, (so
I'm an expert now :-) and false is zero and true is anything not
false. It's a crazy world we live in.

So:

[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig innd on
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# ! /sbin/chkconfig innd || echo "Running
nntpsend"; echo $?
Running nntpsend
0
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig innd off
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# ! /sbin/chkconfig innd || echo "Running
nntpsend"; echo $?
0

works correctly.

And if I change the two scripts in /etc/cron.hourly:

[root@elmo cron.hourly]# cat /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend
#!/bin/sh
! /sbin/chkconfig innd || su - news -c /usr/bin/nntpsend
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# cat /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-rnews
#!/bin/sh

! /sbin/chkconfig innd || /usr/bin/rnews -U

then I should get a return code of zero no matter whether innd
is turned on or off and thus no email from cron.

Who should make this change?

Bill Shirley





[Cooker] BUG: chkconfig true is false

2002-10-24 Thread Bill Shirley
I am getting an email from cron every hour when
/etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend runs.

I found an bug in chkconfig:

[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig --list innd
innd0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig innd; echo $?
1

If I read the man page correctly, this should give a zero return code
because innd is not included in this run level (which is 3).

And then:
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig innd on
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig --list innd
innd0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on4:on5:on6:off
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig innd; echo $?
0

should return a 1.

It is REVERSED.  This causes:

[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig --list innd
innd0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# cat /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/chkconfig innd && su - news -c /usr/bin/nntpsend

to run the nntpsend command even though innd is turned off.


Now the second problem.  bash appears to be not using the
return code of the last command in a && situation:

[root@elmo cron.hourly]# chkconfig --list innd
innd0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# /sbin/chkconfig innd && su - news -c
/usr/bin/nntpsend; echo $?
1
[root@elmo cron.hourly]# su - news -c /usr/bin/nntpsend; echo $?
0

The man page reads:

 The  control operators && and || denote AND lists and OR lists, respec-
   tively.  An AND list has the form

  command1 && command2

   command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns an  exit
status
   of zero.

   An OR list has the form

  command1 || command2

   command2  is  executed  if and only if command1 returns a
non-zero exit
   status.  The return status of AND and OR lists is the  exit
status  of
   the last command executed in the list.

To sum it all up:  when /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend runs, I get
an email
saying:
run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend exited with return code 1

because chkconfig gives a reversed result and runs the nntpsend command.
bash is using the return code from the chkconfig command (1) instead of
the
nntpsend command (0) and cron is reporting it.

How do we fix chkconfig and bash?

sane-find-scanner gives:

If I try to configure the scanner for drakconf-hardware it apears to 
work but doesn't.  I still get no devices available from Xsane.  

I just tried running drakconf from a terminal window, maybe these errors 
are useful:

[Cooker] RC3 - SCSI scanner and IDE tape problems

2002-09-20 Thread Bill Codington

I am running rc3 as an upgrade from a clean install of rc2.  The system 
looks great, these are some problems I am having.

1. Scanner not configuring.
It is a Microtek Scanmaker X6EL, detected as a 636.  It is detected 
fine.

2. Tape - Onsteam DI-30 (IDE)
In 8.2 I had this working with ide-scsi and osst modules.  This doesn't 
work now in either rc2 or 3.  No scsi device was created.  ide-tape 
seems to work, I can use the mt command to get status.  Let me know if 
I can provide further information.

RE: [Cooker] Postfix + SASL problem

2002-09-19 Thread Bill Shirley

I created /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf when I set up Postfix + SASL
on my LM 8.2 system accourding to how-to's.  I think it should
be in the postfix installation as well as /etc/pam.d/smtp.  It
will not hurt anyone who is not using SASL auth.

[root@elmo postfix]# ls -l /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf
-rw-r--r--1 root root   71 Sep 19 11:26
/usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf
[root@elmo postfix]# cat /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf
#pwcheck_method: saslauthd
pwcheck_method: pam
#pwcheck_method: sasldb

[root@elmo postfix]# ls -l /etc/pam.d/smtp
-rw-r--r--1 root root  152 Sep 17 22:06 /etc/pam.d/smtp
[root@elmo postfix]# cat /etc/pam.d/smtp
#%PAM-1.0
auth   required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
accountrequired /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

After looking how I have smtpd.conf setup, I appears that I am
NOT using saslauthd and therefore my "ln -s" was useless.  My
smtpd.conf says to use pam.  I've tried so many combinations.
I had thought I tried this and it failed.  Maybe I forgot to
do a "postfix reload" or maybe I didn't have the smtp file in
/etc/pam.d .

Any way, I am happy that I got it working and will get glad
when someone figures out how to get smtpd to auth through
saslauthd.  Until then I'll have to leave:

[root@elmo shorewall]# ls -l /etc/shadow
-r--r-1 root postfix  1888 Sep 11 14:52 /etc/shadow

so smtpd can access shadow.

Ah, success.  saslauthd puts it's socket (file called "mux" in
/var/lib/sasl and sasl client tries to connect in
/var/state/saslauthd directory, which does not exists. A
ln -s /var/lib/sasl /var/state/saslauthd  will fix this.

RE: [Cooker] Postfix + SASL problem

2002-09-18 Thread Bill Shirley

Just an update.  I ran across an idea from a forum on the net
and put garbage in smtpd.conf and postfix/smtpd complains.
That says smtpd is reading the file and permissions are ok.
SASL apparently doesn't use what's there.  I've tried it with
pwcheck_method: pam, pwcheck_method: saslauthd, and
pwcheck_method: sasldb.  I still get:
"SASL LOGIN authentication failed".

I copied an /etc/pam.d/smtp file from a friend's 8.1/8.2 system
I helped set up, mine was removed when I upgraded, and no joy.
I started saslauthd -pam -T -d (debug mode) and it gave no
messages.  (There is no documentaion on saslauthd switches. :-(

My conclusion is that whoever packaged the postfix? rpm knows
enough about what changed to remove /etc/pam.d/smtp and rename
/usr/lib/smtpd.conf to smtpd.conf.rpmsave.  Why do this?  I think
it's supposed to authenticate through saslauthd now, but it doesn't
for some reason.

Anyone have any clues?

Bill Shirley

[Cooker] Linuxconf + devfsd bug

2002-09-17 Thread Bill Shirley

For a long time now, when exiting linuxconf, it states that some of my
services on my system
are not running (saslauthd, httpd) when if fact they are running and
doing a:
service httpd status
reports them as running.  I don't know why.

However, on one of two systems I have running 9.0 rc2 linuxconf says:
"Missing configuration file /etc/devsfsd.config for service devfsd".
The file is actually
/etc/devfsd.conf.  Where can I fix this?

TIA,
Bill Shirley

As best I can tell, the smtpd.conf file is no longer expected in
/usr/lib/sasl and upon rpm install noticed that it was renamed
to smtpd.conf.rpmsave but was not replaced with anything.  In
what directory should it be?

First, let me thank all those involved in putting together the rpms and
the great Mandrake distribution. And now:

  Why in blazes did the location of smtpd.conf move, if in fact
that is my problem.  I know that the SSL certificate for ipop3sd.pem
moved to /etc/ssl/imap.  However, I just looked at the docs that came
with the rpm to find out where to move it and fix pop3s.  Would it be
possible to include a README.rpm or README.rpm.watchout file in the
docs directory giving me a clue as to what I need to do.  I have spent
all day googling to find out WHAT CHANGED to break smtpd + SASL.

I spent quite a few nervous hours when I could not boot my system.  It
seems the developers of LILO decided that if you specify a software
raid device (boot=/dev/md0) that they should NOT write to the MBR like
they did in the previous versions.  You have to add:
raid-extra-boot="/dev/hda,/dev/hdc" to write to the MBR.


AH, I feel better now.  But truly, thanks for all the hard work you guys
put in to make things easier for us.

Thanks in advance,

  Why in blazes did the location of smtpd.conf move, if in fact
that is my problem.
I know that the SSL certificate for ipop3sd.pem move to /etc/ssl/imap.
However, I just looked
at the docs that came with the rpm to find out where to move it and fix
pop3s.  Would it be
possible to include a README.rpm or README.rpm.gottcha file in the docs
directory
for each package.  I have spent all day trying to find out WHAT CHANGED
to break pop3s.


AH, I feel better now.  But truly, thanks for all the hard work you guys
put in to make things
easier for us.

Thanks in advance,

[Cooker] cups-common bad

2002-04-20 Thread Bill Greenwood


cups-common-1.1.14-4mdk.i586.rpm seems to be bad on freshen.

It apparently is supposed to be 436.59k in size (according to the 
Software Manager), and is 221,864 on the mirrors, and it won't freshen.

[Cooker] Kprinter & XSane mostly working! :)

2002-04-16 Thread Bill Greenwood


The Kprinter problem of not saving the Properties is fixed. good job!

The XSane app not running is fixed... good job!

The Kprinter working with XSane now at least runs, but comes up with 
this dialog box:

Heading:  Printer error - kprinter
Message:  Can't print from STDIN: use '--stdin' option, or specify a 
file to print in the file selection area.

Kprinter is almost working with XSane copy function.  Looking forward to 
this working.

[Cooker] KDE3 & kprinter / KDE3 & Desktop Scanner Autolink / Latest XSane dead

2002-04-14 Thread Bill Greenwood


KDE3:

Kprinter doesn't save the settings when changed under properties.
Example:  Run KWord and a test document.  Click on print, then 
Properties.  Paper size always comes up A4.  Change the paper size to 
Letter, click on save, and it doesn't.  Running CUPS.

===

Turning on my HP Scanjet 5200C brinks up the Autolink just fine in KDE 
2, but doesn't in KDE3.  Configured ScannerDrake no problem.

===

Latest Cooker XSane looks like it's going to start, but dies half way 
through init.

System fully Freshened to latest Cooker in RPMS and RPMS2.

Bad move removing Netscape.  I keep tripping over websites (especially
banking!) that wont accept other than netscape 4.7/8 or ie.  In some,
even the menu script in the web page tests for netscape ver 4.?,
refusing galeon (reports itself as ver 5) and mozilla.  Wish galeon had
the ability of konquerer to report whatever version you want, but then
konquerer has other incompatibilities and wont display the pages for
other reasons (flaky java support?)

Love the idea.  Having one of these beasts and just getting the

So we all need to be patient and kind with each other (me included, or

[Cooker] gurpmi and deps location

2002-03-05 Thread Bill Greenwood


Is it possible to *simply* make gurpmi look first in the directory that 
you may be in, for deps for a given file you are trying to install.

In other words, I don't want to have to go into rpmdrake to setup my 
directory locations for gurpmi to have to find deps that are right there 
in the directory I'm already in.

For example:  I wanted to install gpr.  I changed directory into my RPMS 
directory.  I typed in gurpmi gpr*  and it came back that it needed to 
satisfy some deps, ok to install?  After clicking OK, it started to 
download the deps from the Cooker site I previously had set up in 
rpmdrake for updates.  This was stupid because the deps were already 
right there in that directory.

It would have been simple if gurpmi would have simply looked in the 
default directory that I had started it from first.  Or, it could bring 
up a dialog box asking if the deps are already located on your system 
(if it didn't find them in the default directory that you are in), and

Re: [Cooker] Problems installing 8.2 beta 4

2002-03-04 Thread Bill Greenwood


Mike--- I suggest you burn another CD, as it looks like that one has a 
bad spot where it is trying to access that bit of information.  I 
suggest you burn it at a slower speed, possibly half the speed from your 
first one.  It may be that brand of CD-R as Warly also suggested.

Warly suggested that you do that because of the error information you 
submitted.

[Cooker] Splashscreen, Invalid Video Mode, & S3 ViRGE (generic) ViRGE/DX or /GX

After Installing kernel-2.4.18-2, it set the video mode in lilo.conf to: 
vga=788, or x600 in 16 bits (FrameBuffer only) in MCC bootconf.

I use a PCI S3 ViRGE (generic) ViRGE/DX or /GX video card, and while 
trying to boot with the above command line for video, it starts to boot 
then says something like:  Invalid video mode, press 'Enter' to see the

And of course splashscreen doesn't work because of this. :(

BTW, Aurora never did work once with this card either.

[Cooker] MdkInst - Ext3 Mounting

2002-02-27 Thread Bill & Lea Greenwood


Another problem I have found with MdkInst, is that it finds and mounts 
my Ext3 partitions as Ext2.

This can be a real problem since there can be times that mdkinst locks 
up, or can't complete for some reason, or won't unmount properly, or 
some other reason, so leaves these partitions in a problem state.

-Bill





[Cooker] MdkInst - Mount Failed

2002-02-27 Thread Bill Greenwood


A couple of bugs I reported in Mandrake Forum on Jan 27th, and at least
the top one is still broken:

If you want to do an upgrade with mdkinst, either normal or packages
installed only, and you have had the HD partition mounted in your
running install (fstab) that has your /Mandrake/RPMS directory in it,
mdkinst gives an error: 'An error occurred. Mount failed: Device or
resource busy', and you can't go any further.  You can't even Exit
properly, it just keeps bringing back this error dialog (actually the
installer will eventually crash if you keep clicking on Exit). You have
to go back and *edit out* the HD partition in fstab that these install
files are on, then rerun mdkinst, and then it will work correctly.  In
other words, it looks like mdkinst is trying to mount this partition
twice.  Once at the beginning of the install when you are telling it
what HD partition the packages are on, and second when it gets to the
diskdrake area during the install.

mdkinst locks up if you try to format the swap partition in diskdrake.
(This may be fixed-- haven't test this bug in a while)

Re: [Cooker] How to make XFdrake better in 30 seconds.

2002-02-26 Thread Bill Greenwood


Maybe add some additional buttons Pixel.  I believe every dialog should 
have a *Back* button and a *Next* or *Skip* button anyway.  There are 
**many** times that we can't move around and get to the selection we 
want to get to directly.  So we also need to be able to go to ANY 
selection, at any time, directly by clicking on the left panel as well. 
 This would GREAT help in this area of the installer.

Maybe:  Help YesChange BackNext 
   Skip

Re: [Cooker] NS4 gone?

My vote it to have NS4 back into the main release also.  It is the only 
browser that just _works_ in many situations.  Besides that, It is the 
only browser that has the *Images* button, which I use all the time.

The Images button was supposed to be put into the Mozilla tree, but I 
think, from what I can see, it ain't gunna happen. :(

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake Debian?

2002-02-24 Thread Bill & Lea Greenwood


Sorry Tim, but I agree with Jason.

Remember Tim, that the LSB has chosen RPM, and so has Mandrake, so deal 
with it. :)

Also, I don't really think that Jason was talking about releasing the 
distro as statlinked, only the add-on apps that can be downloaded. When 
I download an app, I really appreciate an RPM, and even better, I would 
appreciate a statlinked RPM at least be available that would save me a 
big headache when there is a dep problem. I download, install, it 
already has all it's own libraries that are right there in it's ver own 
directory that the install made, and I run!!! YEEES! I don't have to 
care about which version or distro of Linux I downloaded it for, because 
it doesn't care either!! It just runs! Have you ever downloaded, 
untared, and ran a Mozilla nightly? Everything right there in it's own 
directory. Click on Mozilla, and it just runs. Statlinks work the same way.

Yes I compile my own apps as well (I've been running Linux 7+ yrs), but 
heck, statlinked RPMs would be much easier, and like Jason, I don't care 
about HD space, or the extra RAM that is used. Statlinked RPMs being 
available (as well as source) would go a long way in making life a whole 
lot more like a Windows install for those coming from that mode of 
thinking on how to install an app. Then once they get better, at least 
the source is still available. There are, I think, tens of thousands of 
people coming over from Windows daily worldwide (or at least testing 
Linux); we need to make life as easy as possible for them to come over, 
and install and run their favorite app. Statlinks would be a big part of 
that help.

[Cooker] Peter Ruskins Country Code App

2002-02-23 Thread Bill Greenwood


Many of us were asking ourselves and him what app he used to come up 
with this answer:

[19:33 peter@penguin:~]$ country ro

Country2 letter  3 letter  Number
---
Romaniaro   rom 642


Well after some searching, I finally found this app on Freashmeat:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/countrycodes/

It simply uses a makefile, and then drops this little binary into 
/usr/local/bin:

iso3166

Rename it to country, and you have it.

Re: [Cooker] Tar or BZip the mdkinst directory

2002-02-19 Thread Bill Greenwood














Thanks for that Ron-- will give it a try--- much appreciated. :)

Using DrakSync (hope it is called mdkSync soon) and seems to work pretty 
well, but I think it needs a little touching up.

Kind Regards,

[Cooker] Suggestion: Mandrake Naming Layout Change

2002-02-19 Thread Bill Greenwood


I suggest that each of the Mandrake tools have a small change in their 
naming layout for the directory listing, and for other reasons.

The way it is right now, each of the tools are laid out in their name 
just a little different, which makes it hard to easily spot a Mandrake 
Tool. And sometimes one may not even know a certain tool is available 
for a given purpose.  This is especially true since not all Mandrake 
tools are being installed in the Mandrake Control Center, which is 
something else I can't really figure out.  All Mandrake tools should be 
in the Mandrake Control Center, IMHO.

An example of the different ways the Mandrake tools are named: some have 
drak, others drake, others mdk in their name.  And sometimes these 
pieces will be in the front of the name, others at the end.

I suggest they all start with mdk, then the name, such as:

transfugdrake would be: mdktransfuge
drakconf would be: mdkconf, or maybe: mdkctrlcntr
drakfirsttime would be: mdkfirsttime
We already have: mdkonline

And so on...

I believe this would make a whole lot more since to all of us, but 
especially to the newcomers to Mandrake.  This would also follow the 
three character mdk in the last part of the name, which ties all the 
Mandrake stuff together nicely.

Any other thoughts on this?






[Cooker] Gave up on via-rhine drivers :(

2002-02-18 Thread Bill Greenwood


Well I finally gave up on via-rhine drivers working again (unresolved 
symbols), even though I reported them here 2 times.  This was a D-Link 
(DFE-530TX) network card for my DSL connection, and ran on via-rhine 
drivers.  None of the latest kernels would get fixed.  I had to keep 
going back to 2.4.13-12 to get the good drivers. :(  Kudzu even found 
that D-Link card when it was installed and configured it (and it is now 
unconfigured by Kudzu), and the latest card I just purchased also (which 
Kudzu beautifully configured), which was fondly enough, advertised as 
*Linux compatible*.  This allowed eth0 to load immediately at system 
startup, with no other intervention.

I just hope that the via-rhine situation gets resolved before release 
for the next person that needs them.

Re: [Cooker] I cannot believe!!! Is it Windows or Linux?

2002-02-18 Thread Bill Greenwood


I agree with you George-- Msec is definitely one of the tools that 
could use a frontend, just like we have one for rsync (DrakSync).

I say again too these Drak tools should all be in the 'Mandrake 
*Control* Center', where we can *Control* all aspects of our Mandrake 
system.  Maybe another heading? 'Other Drak Tools' ?

Re: [Cooker] cdrecord don't work (Could not record!!!) , please help!

Meir--- it looks like you are missing a third digit number after the

Mine is  dev-0,0,0   as you can see, three digits.

I suggest you run cdrecord -scanbus to see what those three digits 
should be.

Hope this helps,

If rsync is fast for you good. :)  Some of us just want to download the

Why not have it both ways.  The directory for rsync, and the file for a 
full download.

[Cooker] Tar or BZip the mdkinst directory

2002-02-17 Thread Bill Greenwood


I suggest that on Cooker that we Tar or Bzip the mdkinst directory into 
a single file, and drop it into the Mandrake directory.  This would 
speed downloading this directory of files considerably.  Even on DSL, 
this download right now is so very slow with a gillion files and 
subdirectories.  But if this was one file, it would be much faster with 
either modem or broadband.  Once downloaded, a quick untar to the 
Mandrake directory, and boom, we're in business.

Would this single file concept also work for the distro as well?? I 
don't know, as it would require a temp directory on the HD somewhere.

Regardless, at least for Cooker, this would be a great help.

Yves, the dynamic icon creation on the desktop now works with devfs

[Cooker] Scanner not found with XSane

2002-02-16 Thread Bill Greenwood


I have an HP ScanJet 5200C scanner, hooked up to the USB port, and 
ScannerDrake finds beautifully.  ScannerDrake asks me if I want to 
configure it, and I click on Yes.  Hard drive works for a few seconds, 
then nothing else. (at least it could tell me what happened :) )

I then run XSane, and this is the error I get:

XSane Scanning for devices

XSane: no devices available

Several distros back, I would get a link on the desktop when I turned on 
the scanner.  I don't get that anymore.
