[Cooker] Bugs in 9.1 RC2

2003-03-12 Thread Adam Flinton
Dear All,

Found some bugs in RC 2. Do I send em in here to the mailing list or 
shove em through the qa system?

Quick list (maybe someone can help here):

It was an upgrade from 9.0 (Dolphin)

1) During upgrade:

When it got to the hardware etc screen (after the pacages had been 
upgraded) it said it had found but couldn't configure my TV cards (2 X 
bt878)/ work out what they were. Instead of chosing to set it/them up 
manually I simply left it. On booting post upgrade it actually had found 
 configured the cards. Maybe it was because I have 2 of them?

2) Post Upgrade:

2.1) On the KDE3.1 desktop (but not any of the others (e.g. GNOME2.2)) 
it has 3 icons for 3 Desktop Config Files called:

dynamicProcessing
dynamicProbing
dynamicAdding
They are on my desktop but are owned by root  they shouldn't be on my 
desktop.

Just out of interest.What are they?

2.2) I use the Nvidia proprietary drivers. Because I have 1GB of RAM in 
my Linux workstation Mandrake uses the Enterprise Kernel. I have the 
most recent nvidia rpm for the mdk enterprise (9.0) kernel.
If I choose to use my old kernel everything works perfectly.
If I choose to use the new enterprise kernel then X fails to load as it 
can't find the nvidia modules
Messages such as :

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!

modprobing both nvidia  NVDriver  comes back with a can't locate 
module nvidia/NVDriver

2.3) scanner /SANE/ XSane.

I have an Epson Perfection 1250 Scanner. It will not work as an Epson 
but instead must use the plustec.conf (slightly edited)
Whatever has changed in between the Sane which shipped in 9.0  that in 
9.1 stops the scanner working. I kinda knew this b4 I upgraded as I had 
upgraded just the sane stuff while running 9.0  had had to go back to 
the stuff that comes with 9.0.

Other than that...so far so good. Does anyone know if Mozilla 1.3 is 
going to make it before 9.1 goes final?

No kidding! You need a new kernel module for a new kernel. Welcome to
the joys of out-of-kernel kernel-modules.

Get a decent kernel SRPM (that generates kernel-specific rpm names) and
rebuild it, otherwise, get the one from NVidia and be very careful to
'rpm -i' the resultant binary rpm, if you use -U, it will upgrade,
meaning your 9.0 kernel will no longer work with the NVidia driver.

Already in there, and even went through a bug fix. You can get it off of
Cooker right now, or wait until the final. Happy browsing...
