[Cooker] 9.0-beta2 drakconnect bug
I just installed 9.0beta2 on a friends workstation and encountered a showstopper bug in drakconnect. here are the details: I didnt set up networking on initial install because I didnt know what kind of ISA nic card was being used and auto-probing didnt work. After the install, I found out it was a ne2000 compatible ISA card (ne module). Went to drakconf, started drakconnect. ran the wizard, no go. I tried to specify the options, still no go. however, from a cmd-line, I could load the module correctly (modprobe ne io=0x300). the problem: drakconnect doesnt just run "modprobe ne io=0x300". I runs "modprobe ne (comma seperated values) io=io=0x300". 2 notes. 1) the part in parans are definately in the command issued by drakconnect and 2) the duplicate 'io=' part might be me. we didnt have time to check that part. Also, I am not subscribed to the cooker list anymore, so if someone could get this to the right place? Im thinking any module that needs params will have this problem.

Almost 3 quarters of the users did not want it in >/usr/bin. i feel the same way. of course, i also feel the same way about gnome2 (which isnt even at a final release yet) being installed in /usr/bin. but hey, im just a user/advocater. what the hell do I know.

There are alot of people(users) that dont like/use kde (me being one of them). it doesnt work for me. it never has. I force myself to use the newest version every once in awhile for at least a week (so I can get familiar with the differences over gnome), and I always come back to gnome.

Besides applets, and some other stuff *ahem* sawfish *ahem*, its fairly nice. Unfortunately, some of those applets are important to me :) unfortunately, untils some more porting to gnome2 is done, it wont be usable for me (except as a plaything). I just think its irresponsible to *replace* stable software(gnome1.4) with very-much-in-beta-testing-not-quite-there-yet software (gnome2). yes I know I dont have to download it, yes I know that this is cooker and meant to be unstable, but by people like me downloading it and trying it, thats how bugs, etc get fixed and the software made better. Besides, they did it with kde. again, this is just a suggestion, not a flame. I use cooker exclusivly and report bugs when I find them (if they havent been reported already). If the gnome1.4/gnome2 things isnt/wont be changed, thats just less software I can help make better. and that would make me sad :) well, anyway, thanks for the reply David > > -- "I find your lack of faith disturbing." --Darth Vader --- 3:05pm up 19 days, 1:51, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
[Cooker] gnome1.4 v gnome2
I know Frederic Crozat is on vacation/guadec next week, however, if any other cooker developers that work on gnome are floating around, please respond. I was wondering why there isnt a parrallel gnome1.4/gnome2 installation like there is for kde2/kde3? kde3 installes in /opt, gnome2 replaces crucial gnome1.4 files, like 'gnome-panel', 'gnome-session', etc. Whas this just overlooked, or is it intentional? If it was intentional, can it be changed? I like testing gnome2, but its not ready for regular use and its nice to be able to go back to gnome1.4 with out having to spend an hour uninstalling, then reinstalling stuff.

[Cooker] gnome-panel and docklets
any idea why docklets arent working with gnome-panel? Instead of showing up in the status dock, they show up as a small window just like any other app. 2 that I know of :xmms-status-dock and gabber.

Unfortunatly, i need it to build some software that I want to try: http://prokyon3.sourceforge.net/ I admin, im not a big qt fan, but this software looks promising. isnt it possible to install a working qt3-devel without the actual db's installed? i.e. perl db modules dont *require* mysql and pg to be installed, but the libraries and clients. shouldnt this be possible for qt3? again, Im asking out of ignorance here, but it just doesnt make sense for the current way (not blaming mandrake developers if this is the case).

[Cooker] qt3 dependencies?
using rpmdrake and urpmi, I want to install libqt3 and libqt3-devel. why does: MySQL (not installed) MySQL-client (update) libmysql10 (update) libmysq10-devel (update) lpgperl (not installed) libpgsql2 (not installed) libpgtcl2 (not installed) libunixODBC2 (not installed) libunixODBC2-devel (not installed) postgresql (not installed) postgresql-devel (not installed) sfio (not installed) have to be installed/updated for this? I could understand if I wanted to *update* a package that depended on qt3, or update qt3 and an *installed* package that depended on it needed to be updated, but having to install completely unrelated packages that arent installed yet?

[Cooker] beta3 post install notes
'aloo, After switching from mandrake cooker (actually beta 2 with cooker updates) to redhat 7.2 with the latest ximian updates, etc, I have moved back to mandrake (now beta3, though). You guys rock. mandrake in my opinion is 100% better. Anyway, here are my notes on the install/post-install: 1) install was flawless. 2) post-install: using diskdrake to add a mount for an smb share, diskdrake doesnt put the username password in fstab correct. i.e. I set it up with the username of 'joe' with a password of 'blow'. diskdrake wrote it in fstab as 'username=blow,password=joe'. just a little backwards. 3) after using diskdrake to make the mount (and before editing fstab to make it correct) I tried to mount the share and got this error: tdb((null): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/unexpected.tdb no such file or directory 4) gaim: I noticed in ximian's version (.43) of gaim, there is a 'gaim_applet' that is missing from mandrakes 5.1 version. Reading the README from gaim, it seems that mandrakes version isnt compiled with --enable-panel. Is it possible to get it repackages as such? Also, the older version of gaim will save offline messages and then give them to me when I sign on. Other than those 4 things, beta3 is awesome. Thanks for all the hard work.

[Cooker] feature request for rpmdrake
I have a couple of feature requests for rpmdrake: 1) if it errors out, tell me why (i.e. max. anon ftp reached, let me know instead of just "due to some error") 2) depends-on and is-depended-on tabs. I would like to know what package depends on a particular package and vice versa. I know there are command line tools for this already. I would like to see it in rpmdrake.

[Cooker] problem with 8.2 beta
All the bugs I have found have already been reported except this one: usb with mass-storage driver doesnt work too well. Ill try to describe as much as I can. Fresh boot up of system, plug the usb device into the usb port (archos 6g jukebox). usb recognizes a device, but doesnt load the usb-storage driver. I modprobe usb-storage. a little better, but the dependant module sd_mod doesnt get loaded. so I load the sd_mod. better, but now the kernel doesnt recognize usb-storage. so I unload/reload that. whoo-hoo! usb device at sda1!. I mount the driver with out any problems. I try to edit the id3 tags on an mp3 (doesnt matter which software I use, or which mp3. this always happens) and I get: Jan 29 07:37:52 mankind kernel: kernel BUG at file.c:66!

The reason I ask is that I had no problem using 2.4.17, but when I upgraded to the 2.4.17 preempt patch, this happened. 2) why am I having the module problems? i.e. why when I modprobe usb-storage, does sd_mod not get insmod'ed, and then why does it not recognise usb-storage? I hope I have given all the info I needed, please let me know if you need any more, or if im on drugs. David
