 There may be other features added if there is an interest in them. I will need 
assistance with the packet-writing support. I am only planning to do this for the 
2.5.x and later kernels, so if anyone else wishes to back-port it to an older kerenl 
series, by all means do so. I have wanted to make some kind of contribution to this 
project for some time and I feel that this is something that will be useful.

[Cooker] setting up nfs export installs a new kernel!

2002-03-09 Thread Garrick Staples

On a machine freshly installed with beta4 (hadn't gotten around to
cooker updates yet) I was playing luser and just clicking stuff in mcc
seeing what I could break.  I went into NFS shares and it started to
install nfs-utils (not surprising since I only selected workstation
packages during the install).  But very surprisingly, it installed a
new kernel!  

Heh, it's bad enough that mcc progs install rpms without confirming (I
know I'm not alone in feeling this way), but it's really bad when it
installs kernels.  But at least it's telling me what it's doing :)

[Cooker] gtk tabs not clearing

2002-03-08 Thread Garrick Staples

Using libgtk+1.2-1.2.10-25mdk.

Has anyone else noticed that gtk apps that use tabs
(multi-gnome-terminal and galeon are the only two I know of) don't clear
away a tab that you've closed?  It's merely failing to redraw that
section of the screen.  If you shade/unshade or momentarily cover it
with another window (or anything triggers an X redraw), it will be
correct again.  This is a recent bug, I don't think it was present in
beta3.  It's present in beta4 through current cooker.




Re: [Cooker] gtk tabs not clearing

XFree86-4.2.0-8mdk and a Radeon VE QY.  The only other problem I have
with X is that it locks if DRI is enabled and I switch VTs.  Other then
that, it runs beautifully in 1280x1024x24.

Both are correct.  That file has one giant hole, it's mostly nulls and

reported in the header of the file.  'du' reports the number of disk

 This was perfectly functional on 81, and I have the same xinetdd
 scripts and firewall scripts running Its not a secutrity risk to me !! 
 
 Could someone tel me how to get round what ever has been added, to
 disable it 
 My actions so far are to remove both telnet- server and client
 122-16mdk and replace both with 122-11mdk which is the version with
 mdk 81that use to work
 I have now managed to get telnet to localhost to function, but still
 left with the xinetd redirects failing
 
 firewalls have been disabled on both machines, and have no effect
 
 I can telnet to the other machine to the ports that are redirected to
 from this machinethat works
 
 If I telnet localhost 8000 xinetdd should redirect to the other machine
 on port 8000,
 What happens is that I get connection refused (errno 111)from the other

 Its as if xinetd is adding something, but what I dont know and cant see

 If so, why are root ssh logins disabled?  I further suppose that is,
 because root ssh logins are bad.  Correct?  Well, but why are they
 bad?  In how far is it more secure to first ssh to a normal user
 account and then do a su to become root?

(yet another reason...)
root logins are hard to account from looking at logs.  If you *only* su
to root, then you always get a clear bob su'd to root message.  This
becames more important in larger shops where lots of people may have the

 Easy, somewhere at the end of your blackbox menu file, add the entry 
 [exit] (Exit)  without the quotes.  [exit] is for blackbox to read and 
 know that you want that to be there; (Exit) is the way it will appear in 
 your right-click menu so you can write anything you want here (logout)... 
 (outta here)... (whateveryouwant).  You'll need to have it somewhere 
 before your final [end] statement.

But it *was* there before.  It was a nice touch, and mdk is supposed to
be pre-configured.  Can it be added back in?

When I boot, all I get to see is a few harmless kernel error messages:
  request_module[md-personality-2]: Root fs not mounted
and 2 stray [OK] that just appear by themselves.  Under that framebuffer,
everything is working normally.  But I have to admit, I was really freaked
out when that message was *all* I saw =P

It would be better to have *no* output messages then to show *only* the
error messages.  It's easy enough to have another lilo entry that works
normally.

[Cooker] beta3 install notes

2002-02-22 Thread garrick

MDK 8.2beta3 == total ownage!  Great work everyone!

I spent several hours yesterday trying to get dri working on my new Dell
(Radeon VE) after installing redhat 7.2.  After compiling a new kernel, new
xfree86, new drm and ati (from gatos), it still didn't work.  Gatos and ati's
drm seem to be really disorganized.

After installing beta3, dri worked out of the box, all hardware was perfectly
detected and configured.  I'm now happily playing Chromium within 30 seconds of
completing the installation :)


A few minor notes:
During the installtion, I was mucking around with the disk setup and noticed
that if you failed to format a partition, you get a mount failed error
message that doesn't help very much.  It would be nice if the error message,
at least, listed which filesystem(s) failed to mount.

On the Package Selection page, Scientific Workstation doesn't have a popup
description.  Also, the popup decriptions need a border or a contrasting color
background.

During the package installation, the Internet and Messaging page has text
that overlaps the icon at the top, kinda awkward looking.  Same with the Games
page, and the MandrakeCampus page.

Some awkward English during the package installation pages:
09-MDKcampus.pl:
and most of all free way?, sounds odd to me, but I can't think of a
concise way to say it better.

12-MDKstore.pl:
available on our e-store, did anyone else cringe when they saw the
buzzword-complient term: e-store?

13-Nvert.pl

Also, at least in the US, the 1 is seperated from the area code like
1-877-MDKCORP or (877)-MDKCORP.  I prefer the first form.

Set root password, if the passwords don't match, the cursor should return to
the first password box.

The Summary page looks awkward with 5 rows (mouse, keyboard, timezone, printer,
and sound card), but only the first 4 have buttons to change those settings. 
Sound card is floating around looking really weird.  It leaves the user
wondering if it should be a button.

Pretty insignificant stuff so far.  Again, great work!

PS: I just had the error, sendmail: fatal: No maildrop directory
maildrop: No such file or directory when trying to send this email.
I had to manually run 'postfix check'.  Any chance this could be done
automatically?  Perhaps the postfix init script should handle this.




[Cooker] can't disable face browser in kdm

2002-02-22 Thread garrick

My machine is part of a large NIS domain with over 60,000 users.  KDM
actually handles all of those face icons surprisingly well.  It only
takes an extra 20 seconds or so to get the login window.  However, I'd
really like disable that feature.

I can disable it in the KDE Control Center, and I see the changes made
to /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.  But somehow that feature keeps getting
reenabled when I reboot.  Perhaps there's a particular package I can
uninstall?

Until this is fixed, I'll just stick with runlevel 3 (this is actually
the first time I've bothered with runlevel 5)

However, /usr/lib/libDrakX/pixmaps doesn't exist.  It should be

Hope that helps.

[Cooker] gconfd-1 won't start

2002-02-21 Thread garrick

I've yet to get GNOME to work in 8.2.  The gnome desktop starts up without
a window manager, the control panel works, but any apps requireing gconfd-1
(like galeon) won't start.

This problem has persisted from 8.2beta1 to current cooker.  I've
reinstalled numerous times using beta1 and beta2 CDs.  All packages are
current as of this morning.

A few of the gnome rpms I have installed:
GConf-1.0.8-1mdk
gnome-utils-1.4.1.2-1mdk
gnome-core-1.4.0.6-2mdk
gnome-control-center-1.5.11-4mdk
libgnome32-1.4.1.4-2mdk
gnome-common-1.2.4-3mdk
gnome-vfs-1.0.4-3mdk

Trying to start galeon results in the following error:
** WARNING **: GConf error:
  Failed to contact configuration server (a likely cause of this is that you have an 
existing configuration server (gconfd) running, but it isn't reachable from here - if 
you're logged in from two machines at once, you may need to enable TCP networking for

gconfd-1 just exits with an exit code of 1.
I think this strace shows the problem in gconfd-1:

 You might want something like this:

 then
 if kill -0 `cat /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid`

If you are going to check the pid, then you should make sure that the possibly
running process is actually dhcpcd...
   diff /proc/`cat /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid`/exe /sbin/dhcpcd
or something along that nature.
