2003-11-01 Thread Diego Iastrubni
i am having this exact problem, the init-script run fsck, and not the default 
kernel does not boot.

the important lines say:
mounting root filesystem on ide0(3,8)
mount error 22 mounting ext3 defaults
ext3 no journal on filesystem on ide0(3,8)

using a self compiled 2.6 kernel (with ext3 built in) i can boot this machine.
can anyone guide me fixing the default mandrake kernel boot? (fsck run ok 
gives no errors while botting the rescue disk)

When you insert the CD 1 of download edition (not tried with the

It is such details that make people say the distribution is rushed and

Polishing is VERY important, and Mandrake should take care of it for 
the next distribution. Having a nice, clean Desktop at start, with a 
complete K bar would be nice, not two small icons (I signaled it on 
Bugzilla that icons should be in "medium" size at start".

Anyway, since you are going to remaster the 9.2, please correct the

[Cooker] newer gideon/kdevelop3 packages

2003-10-26 Thread Diego Iastrubni
Hi,

I uploaded a new version of my gideon/kdevelop3 packages. The packages were 
compiled on a stock Mandrake 9.1 and tested under 9.2, so both distors can 
use them.

%changelog
* Sat Oct 25 2003 el cuco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Fixed version (now it's [Y][M][D], better for incremental updates)
- Cleaned the spec even more
- Now you can compile your own rpm :)
- Fix qt-doc dir
- Updated description

The most significant change is that you can now get the spec file and run "rpm 
-bb kdevelop3cvs.spec" and you will get your own rpm, which contains the 
latest cvs. I have tested once or twice and it seems to work (TM).

todo for next version:
* fix the icon problem (the app does not have an icon for some reason)
* compile also the dot program. apparently I am missing some functionality.

Here are the links:

Also offer a years or 6 months free membership to the person who reports the 
"Most Critical" bug which is Confirmed.
This wouldn't really cost MandrakeSoft any thing other than a few MB of 
Bandwidth of club packages. 
Membership to Mandrake Club would be the cheapest option but others such as a 
"Free Copy of ProSuite" or a "DVD version MandrakeLinux" signed by the 
MandrakeSoft Developers might work as well.

This would probably would help boost interest in Bug reporting and Beta 
testing among the wider Mandrake Community.
This would need to be advertised quite clearly and throughly during the final 
testing process to work and could be linked to a clear and detailed guide or 
description of how to test, find bugs and report them.

Chad this is a great idea. But bug hunting is not the problem.
The problem is fixing them.

the spec file in the site is not updated. sorry.
but the problem you describe, it  found in my local spec. 

another question, what if the rpm is installed in a box where 
qtdocdir=/usr/lib/qt3.2 for example? 

how can i work around it?

i will check this under 9.1 and 9.2.

oops...

because gideon does not use that. it uses online resources.
if you can hack the c/c++ references, to use an xml list which describes the 
topic. I WILL BE GLAD. i hate looking info on the net, when i can have it 
locally.

gideon has templates even for kernel modules in this version.
if you want i can send you the default project that gideon makes for 
wxWindows. the main file looks quite generic, it looks like a good start.

that is not what I am talking about.
Even in rc19 is exactly final, it's nice to have an rpm which is named final.

[Cooker] wine in mdk92

Hi,

I need to beta test  a Windows App, and I tested it under wine.
I have found that wine basicly works (and sets up the configuration quite well 
on it's own). Howvere the "c:\" is under /var/lib/wine which is not writable 
by my user. 

A quick fix is setting this dir g+rw to my group.
Any one has a better idea here? That will work out of the box?

Fonts are a problem (since I need to set my own fonts, and the dir is not

Hopefully I will work this out.

dosbox sux, dosemu ownz. :) I needed dosemu for NASM which ide is in PMODE, 
and not supported by dosbox.

as I understand, in the definition of free s/w here is "it can be compiled 
using free tools". I think that freedos can be compiled with some "free" (no 
cost and open source compiler) the name ran out of my head sorry.

If anyone wants dos emu, and he cannot have it from the official sites, he can 
have it here.

plf can mirror and use that rpm if they want. (mail me please if you do).

I miss this from gdm.
It should not be enabled by default, but for home users it's the best. I dont 
see a reason why my mom and I will need to supply a password. Most people 
will start thinking about disabling password completely which is much worst 
as you may already know. This is intended only for home usage, in offices and

Re: [Cooker] And next ?

2003-09-28 Thread Diego Iastrubni
(I sent it once, but  i beleave it was lost too deep inside another thread).

I always see Mandrake as a desktop distro, so my wishes are from that side.

mcc:
* bring back capabilities for changing the lilo/grub theme
* real support for linmodems (even if the drivers will not be on the d/l 
edition)
* in 8.2 it had themes, where did they go?
* lirc mcc module

mdk-kdm:
* if could not bring X up, write a messages in console like gdm does
* full screen greeter (again gdm like)
* if no key pressed in X secs, log in as ... (again from gdm)
* avility to run some program for changing the background (roottv for example)

misc:
* add the mouse cursors packages to main
* l10n for Mozilla
* l10n for OO.org
* bring FireBird to main instead of Mozilla
* use also apt-get (with the same repositories, IMHO this can be done no?), 
let the user which app use to install rpms.
* bring sim to main
* patch wine to be able to use mono's winforms
* mono in mdk out of the box! (if sharp develop will run on mono bring it on 
baby!)

IMHO gcc and glibc  can stay at thecurrent version, unless the bugs in gcc 
will be fixed and glibc will not break anything like 2.3 did :)

[Cooker] [Mandrake 10] more ideas for next MDK

2003-09-26 Thread Diego Iastrubni
I always see Mandrake as a desktop distro, so my wishes are from that side.

mcc:
* bring back capabilities for changing the lilo/grub theme
* real support for linmodems (even if the drivers will not be on the d/l 
edition)
* in 8.2 it had themes, where did they go?
* lirc mcc module

mdk-kdm:
* if could not bring X up, write a messages in console like gdm does
* full screen greeter (again gdm like)
* if no key pressed in X secs, log in as ... (again from gdm)
* avility to run some program for changing the background (roottv for example)

misc:
* add the mouse cursors packages to main
* l10n for Mozilla
* l10n for OO.org
* bring FireBird to main instead of Mozilla
* use also apt-get (with the same repositories, IMHO this can be done no?), 
let the user which app use to install rpms.
* bring sim to main
* patch wine to be able to use mono's winforms
* mono in mdk out of the box! (if sharp develop will run on mono bring it on 
baby!)

IMHO gcc and glibc  can stay at thecurrent version, unless the bugs in gcc 
will be fixed and glibc will not break anything like 2.3 did :)

whats the deal? you can just copy them to /usr/share/fonts...

actually there are some programs (like xmms) which do not use fontconfig, and 
still need the old setup.

do a net intallation. Boot from any exisiting disk you have, and choose alt1 
and then ftp install.

About 15 MB of download, you can stop the installation in anytime.

no need to add a ttf, neighter all the fonts. I added just Nachlieli-Light.pfa and 
that's all. 
The ISO i got eventually was the same size as the original, and the compressed stage2

Re: [Cooker] drakx dies when choosing hebrew installation

2003-08-30 Thread Diego Iastrubni
Just wanted to say, that now the installers issues have gone. It boots nicely 
(tested using the mdkinst_stage2.bz2 from cooker).

However, still the ugly fonts issue exists. This is very easy to fix, just add 
a font from the fonts-hebrew package (I can suggest Nahlieli) to the X11 
fonts dir, repackage and its done, since fontconfig will handle the rest of 
the configuration (mkfontdir could be run before compressing the file but if 
I remember install2.pl did it at some point no?).

See these screen shots I made, and compare them to the ones currently 
available in cooker.

I have not tested it (yet) with rc1, if it's fixed there I will report. I

just a smal idea:

a central place, where translators will be able to update only the strings

[Cooker] adding fonts to the installation

2003-08-14 Thread Diego Iastrubni
HI,

I am having problems with the installation. When I choose hebrew, the install 
goes down, since it cannot find Fixed 12 as a font.

I tried adding the fonts in the directory and running "mkfontdir" and 
"mkfotcache", and the making the install cd again. The problem still exist.

so, how do I add fonts to the installation
and where do I set the default font for DrakX?

Re: [Cooker] Beta2: Localizations for bootsplash 'booting, press F2 for verbose' message?

2003-08-11 Thread Diego Iastrubni
just a smal idea:

can you setup a cvs dir with the translations only?
a central place, where translators will be able to update only the strings 
needed by their language only and not the whole tree.

[Cooker] beta2 test under vmware

2003-08-10 Thread Diego Iastrubni
HI,

I tested beta2 under vmware (latest from the site) My system is a Mandrake 
9.1, once ide h/d and one ide cdrom, which was the iso, not the real h/w. I 
got into problems:

* the install would not lunch unless i choosed "alt1 hda=nodma hdb=nodma"
since I kept "loosing interrupts"

* the screen was not recognized and hacked a refresh rate, and it finnaly 
worked. Then the install crashed. Luckily the system was installed.

* the system will only load with secure kernel and with the same parameters as 
the install.

* when I choosed hebrew the installed was terminated.

Any one else with tease problems?

Re: [Cooker] [Bug 3624] [galeon] Frequent browser crashes (galeon and mozilla)

2003-04-02 Thread Diego Iastrubni
talking about bad mozilla/galeon behaviour:

i load mozilla/galeon and I get a spike of 80% cpu for about 40 secs. Then it 
continues running at about 20% cpu. Most of those problems happens when for 
example I try to type a letter in the addres line.

[Cooker] Hebrew status (and some problems) on Bamboo

2003-03-27 Thread Diego Iastrubni
Hi all,

First of all, every one thanks for a great product, if you wrote code, 
patched, sneaked screen shot before mdk was out, reported bug or whatever, 
thank you! The hebrew support is really good and I am ejnoying it for a month 
or two since I am on the tranlation gourp (can you also add me on the site 
plase?)

now problems: 

Galaxy kwin dies when the UI in kde is set to hebrew. Look it out, contact me 
privatly if you have a patch. If I fix it, where can I send it to?

Keyboard: mcc sets the keyboard to pc105, is it possible to change it to 
another from mcc? or I need to edit by hand the config files? (I have a 
multimedia keyboard supported by X)

Fonts: I will try and tell again to you, that there are gpl'ed fonts which 
contain hebrew, in http://culmus.sourceforge.net/. Please package them in the 
future. (BTW in kformula, I cannot enter the mathematical signs like sigma, 
pie etc. Anyone else with that problem? i see latin letters instead)

The startup html in konui is still a little defective, i will see what the 
translation group will do about this. Dont worry.

Another no-so-related problem I have:
when I enter X, I cannot change to console again (alt+ctrl+f1 is disabled). I 
am using the kbdefs:
 
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
XkbModel "pc105"
XkbLayout "us,il"
XkbCompat "group_led"
XkbOptions "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

Ideas? Is it reported? (how can I fix this?)

thats true, when you have unused pageof memory the kernel moves it to
swap, thats what swap for...

about the size, the 2xram is just a convention, i have 256M of ram and
have 4 swap partitions, but only use 2 normally, when i do a lot a
procession (like a big compile) i use the others to avoid fill my ram...

but anyway... you must use swap, no mathers how much ram you have, the
time to not use swap is in RTlinux, but i think thats noyt your case

this is my first post.. so sorry if this is old behaviour..

i download the current misc dir from sunsite.uio.no, the cooker one
the mkcd.pl scrip have this line...

-d $work_dir or mkdir "$tmpdir/.build_hdlist";

this simply not works 

[root@pc-lab1 misc]# ./mkcd.pl
Not enough arguments for mkdir at ./mkcd.pl line 25, near
""$tmpdir/.build_hdlist";"
Execution of ./mkcd.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
[root@pc-lab1 misc]#


so... i change it this way.

-d $work_dir or system "mkdir $tmpdir/.build_hdlist";   


and works ok... apropos what perl version are you using for this one?

see ya
