[Cooker] 9.1 beta 2 test report
Hi all, these are my experiences with ML 9.1 beta 2 (installed alongside with 9.0 sharing the /boot partition), I hope they can be of help. If you think I should add some bugzilla entry, please CC: me in an eventual reply because I'm not subscribed to cooker list at the moment. Test system: Athlon 1.2 GHz 512 MB RAM LG CD-RW Panansonic DVD-RW 1 40 MB HD (Windows partitions) 1 60 MB HD (Linux partitions) ATI Radeon video card Sound Blaster 128 PCI sound card Note: I could not install it on my Acer 521TE laptop because of an old incompatibility of current kernels with the ALI 52xx chipset. ### 9.1 beta 2 INSTALLATION ### Estethically unpleasant: - light brown highlighing on white/blue text (white text, blue background) - button highlighting - mouse pointer becomes an ugly watch when the installer is busy - in some installation windows the lower buttons are cut by the lower edge of the window - anti-aliased texts in the add images during package installation look somewhat blurred - change CD window just a little too small to host the whole text, first line of text is cut In the test window, the mouse wheel only works as a button, no sign of it working while moving it (works after installation). The mouse pointer can't get out of the installation windows, I suppose this is intentional at the moment. The first CD is required again, and not recognized, during system configuration (I kept inserting it, and the installer kept ejecting it and asking again for it). At last I had to Cancel use of the first CD. The correct time zone wasn't listed in the summary window (empty button). I had to select it manually. Then the installer went to install my printer: it recognized it all right (HP LaserJet 6L), but crashed immediately afterward (panic: swash_fetch). Installer didn't try to set up the network. After I checked my graphical configuration, when I went back to the summary window it reported the graphical interface as not configured. Clicking again on the button showed the right settings however. It still is impossible to add or modify items to the bootloader menu, the window gets messed if you try to do so and furthermore it is impossible to enter or modify text to specify the root partition. + The installer recognized all my linux partitions on the hdb disk, assigning them the correct mount point (I suppose it read my 9.0 fstab). 9.1 beta 2 TRIAL First time I tried log in, kdm just didn't let me do it: I typed login name and password of my 9.1 user and nothing happened (well, the screen wavered a little). The second time I tried I got directly into KDE, no first time wizard. I hope the default background picture (and the alternative ones) will be improved in number and quality. Much as I hate to say it, M$ Windows XP nature-based backgrounds are very effective: beautiful and relaxing without being distracting. The Icon + Text description in Drakconf windows looks somewhat weird: the white text box aside of the icons is graphically awkward, perhaps the usual Icon + (short) Icon name + Tooltip on an uniform background would make more esthetically appealing. Mousedrake freezes while loading (and the waiting picture colors are completely wrong). BTW, the semi-transparent cursor is nice, but not all users might appreciate it, so there should be the possibility to switch back to a solid one. Many other config programs just freeze when launched, I suppose the transition to GTK2 is not done yet; printerdrake pops up again in a separate window after I click on done. The 8.2 RPM installer wizard had a nice graphical interface, it went away in 9.0 and is not here either in 9.1beta, could it be reintroduced for 9.1 final? Anyway, the first installation CD is not recognized anymore by urpmi/rpmdrake, just as happened during installation. After experimenting with MCC, it froze: clicking on the icons on the left gave no results. Xine exits immediately after launch on my box: all available video drivers failed. Works fine under 9.0. XMMS, Volume control and other multimedia apps work fine. All in all, 9.1 looks very promising. Keep up the hard work!

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake Made Easy: a modest suggestion for Windowsusers
J. Greenlees wrote: unfortunately, Wim is right in the attitude for a lot of windows users. most that have switched to linux already are the one's that do read manuals / docs / howtos ecetera. a basic simple install should be designed for the moron level to keep the non reading section from filling lists with useless posts. a few apps, configured so only effort is plugging in user name. with options to install more when / if they need it ( as currently exists ) How about simplifying the install process in this way: 1. Move Choose packages to Expert mode (yes, *both* groups and single packages). 2. In Recommended mode let the user choose the type of installation: Minimal A Linux system with all basic applications Typical Most common applications, Office programs etc. Full A complete Linux system for SOHO use Note that Windows users are usually very familiar with the Minimal/Typical/Full installation scheme, because many applications (even games) rely on it. After the user has chosen the type of installation, DrakX checks HD space, if there's enough space available installs all applications for that type; if there are space constraints, OTOH, it skips packages according to a weight system (all packages with weight 1 are essential, weight 2 important, weight 3 less important, etc.); if space is really not sufficient, it warns the user and suggests to choose another type of installation.

[Cooker] 9.0: Problems installing on a laptop
Hi all, 9.0 installation worked just fine on my Acer 521TE. Then I changed the default hard disk with a 20 GB Fujitsu and went for reinstalling it. Much to my surprise, the installation process freezes quite early at the Partition check step: the hd light is on, but nothing happens, and there's no way to interrupt the check and go ahead. The Fujitsu drive is correctly identified, but to no avail. I tried with the alternate kernels (BTW: in the F2 help page the names for the alternate kernels look wrong, they are lt0, lt1 and lt2 instead of alt0, alt1 and alt2), and the partition check is passed, but afterwards as soon as DrakX is loaded the mouse pointer goes crazy and installation becomes problematic. Any ideas? Is there some line to pass at installation time to avoid this? [Sorry if this is 9.0 related, but it struck me as so weird that I felt it might be interesting for Cooker developers, besides there's the ltx stuff] Ciao -- Roberto Rosselli Del Turco e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dipartimento di Scienze [EMAIL PROTECTED] del Linguaggio Then spoke the thunder DA Universita' di Torino Datta: what have we given?

Available in cooker or there: http://mandrakesoft.com/~damien/drakfont-0.58-12mdk.i586.rpm Should also go in the updates, no? dam's Ciao -- Roberto Rosselli Del Turco e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dipartimento di Scienze [EMAIL PROTECTED] del Linguaggio Then spoke the thunder DA Universita' di Torino Datta: what have we given?

[Cooker] Problems with Linux-Mandrake 8.0
Hi all, I installed LM 8.0 on two boxes and have had numerous problems. I think Mandrakesoft should acknowledge them and offer an help page to its users (this should be done for every release: there will *always* be problems that pop up just *after* the official release, when you think everything is alright ...). Here we go anyway: System n. 1 (AMD K6 350MHz, Savage3d, 64 Mb RAM) This is my test system, installation went smoothly, but: - once I had a kernel panic when shutting down the system; - the support for my graphics card (Savage 3D) is much worse than with X 3.3.6: moving the mouse pointer on the screen causes several glitches (white lines, artifacts); this is not Traktopel's fault, probably, unless you consider problems in compiling X that surfaced as concerns the font system. The other problems I met are the same I describe below. System n. 2 (Celeron 400MHz, Matrox G200, 128 Mb RAM) This is my work system, and I confess that I had a slight bad feeling installing LM 8.0 after what I saw on my test system. Installation was fine, again, and I experienced no kernel panics (so far). Instead, I still have to face many small problems: - an empty .mozilla was created in / : weird; - fonts: thanks to some tips I found on MUO, I adjusted fonts in KDE but still have weird fonts in Netscape and elsewhere, in particular a really ugly helvetica font: how can I tell netscape not to use that font? I understand it's a problem related to Type1 rendering, will there be an update to the relevant packages? - supermount: this otherwise nice and useful program sometimes gets horribly confused when mounting/unmounting my CDs, to the point that once the whole system was freezed and all I could do was press the reset button ... This most definitely shouldn't happen. - sawfish: when switching from one workspace to another one, the window bars and frames take about half a second to be redrawn: this is weird, never happened before with all the versions of sawfish I tried (and I tried almost all); while not strictly being (probably) a LM 8.0 problem I'd like to know if other people experienced the same behaviour and have a fix for it. (Another problem with sawfish: left Window key is not recognized, it worked perfectly under 7.2) - gdm: I can't have gdm as the login manager, I created a desktop file containing the string GNOME in /etc/sysconfig, like I did under LM 7.2, but nothing happens: am I doing something stupid or what? - exiting from GNOME, on the other hand, after I click on the panel button (or choose the menu item) I always have to wait about 10-15 seconds before the session is closed: why?!? Didn't have to wait that long under LM 7.2. - imwheel: didn't work well in LM 7.2, seems even worse in 8.0 as the @Exclude option doesn't work anymore (at least here); the configuration file is the same as for LM 7.2, so it seems it didn't receive a lot of attention ... Anybody else experiencing problems? Any ideas why the @Exclude option doesn't work anymore? - ip masquerading: the script I used under 7.2 doesn't work anymore, so I used drakgw, which installed the relevant packages. It didn't work, anyway, and I disabled it, but I still get warning messages at boot about a missing ip_masq_ftp module. (I've been quite lazy investigating this one, I'll admit it ;) - linuxconf: help windows are open in their full extension, no scroll bars; what's more, the Communication tab of the PPP Interface doesn't save properly new data. Again, not a LM 8.0 problem probably, I had to modify the script by hand to solve it anyway. - missing HOWTOs? I thought so when I opened the index.html that organizes the HOWTOs and mini-HOWTO's (in english), but actually many of the links are wrong: for instance you have two Access-HOWTO hyperlinks, but the second one points to Adv-Bash_Scr-HOWTO.html. To correct ASAP. - xmms segfaults with this message: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkitemfactory.c: line 1003 (gtk_item_factory_create_item): assertion `entry-path[0] == '/'' failed. Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GtkCheckMenuItem' Segmentation fault You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit http://www.xmms.org/bugs and fill out a bug report. OK, I'll fill out the bug report, but this really is strange, never had a problem with XMMS before. Anyone else having problems with XMMS? All in all, I'm a little disappointed: what I want is a rock solid LM, even if I have to wait two more weeks. I take care of the Italian documentation for Mandrakesoft, I've written favorable reviews of previous LM releases and advised friends to try it, and I want to do that again: which is why I hope these little, but very annoying problems will be corrected ASAP (I'd suggest to provide a) the relevant updates b) a web page explaining how to fix the problems and containing links to the aforementioned updates).

Re: [Cooker] MandrakeUpdate
Sam wrote: [...] This brought up another issue. RPMdrake is great for installing new packages but pretty useless for doing updates. The tree listed all of the update packages downloaded (I didn't need all of them, but I was trying this out). This would be fine, except I only wanted to install the updated packages, and I had no way of knowing which ones to check from the list. I brought up kpackage and used it instead. To be honest, I feel kpackage is still WAY ahead of rpmdrake. If you're going to include this package, it seems it should have at least the same functionality as kpackage, otherwise it's just wasted disk space. Yup, nothing beats kpackage at the moment: it's the only KDE application I use regularly in my GNOME environment. How about a GTK/Gnome port? Would be a better use of resources IMHO.

Re: [Cooker] Wheel mouse support in 7.1/Cooker
Mike Tracy Holt wrote: I'm using the logitech trackball with the thumb marble and scroll wheel, it works just fine. You have to edit your XF86Config file (3.3.6 or 4.0 - both work just fine) adding the lines to the 'Pointer' section: Buttons 3 ZAxisMapping4 5 and make sure to comment out the lines that say: emulate3buttons emulate3timeout or anything to that effect. Make sure that 'protocol' is MouseManPlusPS/2 and 'device' is /dev/mouse (make sure to follow the syntax of whichever file you happen to be editing). Finally, include a copy of imwheelrc in the $user directory of anyone who cares to use it, and perform chmod a+x /usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel Everything should work just fine after that. Excepted for the copy of imwheelrc in my home directory (is it really necessary?), these settings correspond to those resulting from my 7.1 installation, but I wouldn't say it worked fine, as you can see from the list below. At the moment I've given up to imwheel: either it doesn't work properly with my mouse (logitech wheel mouse), or the settings saved at installation time are wrong. 1. it works with Netscape and other Motif applications (Nedit), but the scrolling is worse (i.e. rough, not smooth as before); 2. it still works in most GNOME applications, but the scrolling is worse (idem, add a really annoying 'circular' scrolling); 3. it stopped working, or works partially, in some GTK/GNOME working applications (e.g. gentoo, I can't scroll my shortcuts anymore); 4. it most definitely stopped working with WINGs windows; 5. it most definitely stopped working with aterm; 6. it still doesn't work with KDE applications.
