[Cooker] Cooker install: Caching name server
After installing cooker the caching nameserver fails to resolve after the first successul resolve. eg. service named restart Stopping named: [ OK ] Starting named: [ OK ] [root@tornado root]# host nine nine.orbiscom.com has address 192.168.0.140 [root@tornado root]# host nine Host nine not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) [root@tornado root]# Removing the nameserver 127.0.0.1 from the /etc/resolv.conf fixes things (obviously) -- John Allen, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MandrakeClub Silver Member.
[Cooker] Cooker install still broken with ReiserFS format
Just tried to install the latest Cooker and it appears the script error for formatting a ReiserFS partition is still broke - as reported many moons ago. Given the fact that there are no new disk images, I'm assuming there is not much activity on the installation front right now. Thx, R.Fox

[Cooker] Cooker install issue - reiserfs.
Sync'd from cooker tonight and did an base install + snf on my machine. When doing the install I selected an already existing partition that had a previous 8.2/Cooker install that was formatted as reiserfs. I selected to reformat the partition but it failed the reiser formatting. I selected ext3 and it formatted fine. -randy

I would like to say this was a good install, but I'm afraid I've got bad news. 1. Firstly, the network install disk image would not mount Ext3. (Had to install from hd.img floppy) 2. Secondly, several packages are missing from cooker but are picked for install. (I unfortunately did not write these down as I was trying to restore my system). 3. I selected to have my computer boot in init 5, however when it boots up, it begins to go into init 5, the stops, returns to a login prompt, and switches itself to mode 3, however when I log into the command line, I can startx just fine. The really strange part is before it switches to mode 3, it has not loaded ANY services. once it switches over to mode 3 it loads eth0, webmin, etc... 4. Evolution: Unknow what's up with this, however I coppied over my old saved evolution directory over the new installs evolution directory. Every previous time I've done this, it has restored all my settings, and filters, however when I downloaded my e-mail it did not sort it, I had to recreate all filters (though the old ones were still there, just not working) to filter my messages. It appears the cooker has become VERY unstable in the last few days, I hope it cleans up soon. Finally, can you PLEASE update gnomeICU. they have released .98.1 and it has a BUNCH of improvements making it worth updating. Nelson

[Cooker] Cooker install under User Mode Linux
I have recently experimented a bit with installing Cooker in the User Mode Linux that comes with the latest 2.4.3-ac kernels. In short, it fails terribly, but I have so far hacked it up enough to get to the disk partitioning step, where I am at the end of my little perl skills for now ;-) Are there so far any official plans to support UML in the near future? It would IMHO be a really good thing because it would let you e.g. - Test cooker on a production machine without system outage - Run Cooker/Mandrake8.1 inside a completely different distribution - Support UML users with another installer besides SlackWare - Test some aspects of the installer more easily These are my experiences why it fails so far: - Missing features: * Support for ubd as installation medium (adapt from cdrom version) * Support for ubd devices in first stage install mount.o (trivial) * UML host network devices for network install (not important) * Skipping Hardware detection for devices not present in UML * ubd target devices instead of harddrive partitions * Remote drakX display, e.g. through Xnest (even less important, but cool) - Bugs encountered * Detection of memory size fails (possibly bug in UML) * Mounting fails when mem != 2^n MB (probably UML bug) * Installation fails when kernel modules are missing, this prevents installing with a user supplied kernel, e.g. on a different distro Arnd

It gives the list of packages which I selected all of them as well as the select individual packages but it then jumps to the screen where it asks the percentage to install and I run it up to 100% (it will go to 101%) and then it says on 34 megs will be installed then dies. -- Best regards, Robin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Seems during the graphical install of X config the X server rpm is assumed under /Mandrake/RPM ... you should change to the correct location (given during the hd.img install query) or create a "ln -s" from the correct location to /Mandrake/RPM Regards, Keith FOR YOUR INFORMATION National Grid USA has now changed the format of Internet email addresses.

Re: [Cooker] Cooker Install Failure
Johan, My point is that you shouldn't choose to mount the windows partions at all, that way you don't give the installer the chance to format them. Your point remains totally lost on me. The sentence above makes no sense, sorry! You seem to this writer to probably have some basic miscomprehension of what mounting is. I hope it clears up. Mounting is an operating system software function, not a hardware function. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
Re: [Cooker] Cooker Install Failure
Yes, but in my case my computer is dual-boot, and most of my old data is on that windows partition. Previous versions would recognise the windows partition, and default to a mount point of /mnt/windows. The current installer will bomb with that, but is fine if the mount point is left blank - so that the partition is ignored. It would be nice if the windows partition CAN be mounted - just not formatted. Vinny

Question ~ could I just do rpm --rebuilddb (I think that's the syntax?) after the one you suggest above and all things would then be fixed? It sounds too simple, would it work? Mike Sadly, i don't think so. cooker-rpms are for rpm-4 and 7.2-rpms are rpm-3 and namerpm-4 are not forwards compatiable with the rpm-3 program. You could build rpm-4 from source for 7.2(do i wouldn't upgrade rpm-3, Beter is to install it in your home-dir and run it from there). Secondly i think you have to do some foo for you can do a rpm --root /cooker --initdb and last i think that you have to do it in a curtain order but i'm not sure about that.

[Cooker] Cooker Install Fails
I'm trying to do a cooker install via network. It doesn't appear this matters though because I get the same results if I use the hd.img, cdrom.img, or the network.img. The installation fails at the point where the install program tries to detect the hard drive. Below is the information from each tty. 1. Install program gui throws an error "Error occurred insmod'ing module ide-cd failed" Output of relevant lines on tty1 (F1) Entering step hard drive detection Output of relevant lines on tty3 (F3) running: packdrake -x /lib/modules.cz /tmp ide-cd.o running: insmod_2 /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/ide-cd.o warning: indmod'ing module ide-cd failed at /usr/bin/perl-install/modules.pm line 486.

I'm not trying to install via cdrom or hd. I am using the network.img file at this time, but the same thing occurs with the other images as well. It doesn't look like cooker can be installed until this is fixed. Hope this helps to track the problem down.

[Cooker] cooker install prob with timezones
trying to install cooker on a new machine ... Abit kt7-raid, 256mb RAM, AMD tb 800, asus v7100T GeForce2 MX 32, and 30.7Gb IBM Deskstar Ultra ATA100. I did manage to install once without really specifing many options. Only problem I had with this was with the ISA Adaptec 1505 SCSI card. Used to work great with 0x140,11,7,1 but now a no go ... look at this one later. Then I decided to try another install and pick what I wanted. This is where I ran into trouble. In the meantime I'd run rsync again to update cooker on my machine I do the NFS install from. Now I'm can only get as far as the timezone config. Keep seeing the error "An error occurred cannot list the available zoneinfo." I'm pulling my cooker from ftp.sunet.se. Greg

I've just done an hd expert developer installation which went very smoothly
until I rebooted. There were lots of error messages - I haven't followed
them all up yet, so there'll probably be a follow-up mail.
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
The default kernel has no MS-DOS support, so I started by rebuilding the
kernel. The locale warning appeared again but the kernel built OK (with
MS-DOS support) - except it didn't, or wasn't - after running lilo and
rebooting, still no MS-DOS support in this kernel. How can this be?
KDE2 looks a bit better (I'd lost the icons but restored them following
Chris' advice to run update-menu as root - I had to do rpm --rebuilddb first).
No sound whatsoever. DrakConf complained about version of modutils, so I
went to do the usual for my AWE64, that is sndconfig - guess what? no
sndconfig. So I copied modules.conf and isapnp.conf from 7.2 (before kernel
make dep), expecting sound after reboot - nada. I'll add some lines from
/var/log/messages - perhaps that'll give someone a clue...

[Cooker] Cooker install problems
Ok, this weekend I purchased a shiny new SCSI hard drive, and tried installing Cooker on it, with some mixed success. Note these are more bug reports than support requests -- I've surmounted most of the problems already. I'm always willing to learn if I've missed something, though. ;) First of all, the Mandrake install always fails at mounting the root partition (errmsg: "mount failed: No Such file or dir at /usr/bin/perl-install/fs.pm line 218") if a language other than US English (or at least of the ones I tried) is selected at the beginning. I tested UK English, Canadian French and Japanese (why not?). Secondly, the default 2.2.17-22mdk kernel installed by the current Cooker (FTP installed from ftp.ciril.fr) doesn't seem to include reiserfs support, or something else is wrong with it. After an unremarkable installation, the system reboots, and the kernel panics when it tries to mount the (reiserfs-formatted) root fs. Any ideas? Thirdly, and this is prehaps not related at all to Mandrake, neither Grub nor Lilo seem happy trying to load off my SCSI hard drive. I was only able to make it work by booting stage1 from the IDE drive, and stage2 from the SCSI drive. Go figure. If anyone has encountered something similar before, I'd like to hear from you, but I won't go into more detail as it's not really Mandrake-related. -- Graeme Lennon -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=- Montreal, Canada ... deadening the flow of relentless biography ...

[Cooker] cooker install comments
This was on an expert install of everything. While I did ask for everything. I really do agree with the other people that there should be some defaults. It came with identd and xidentd selected. This is illogical. Now granted I can turn it off but please set some logical defaults. The list of daemons to start is also really hard to use. The scrolling "wraps" around. I.E. if you scroll to the bottom it will keep scrolling back to the top. Which makes it really confusing. Especially if you're trying to use Page Up etc to get around. Also it asks which printer system I want to use. That's nice but it really should ask that before it asks what I want to start so that way it can start out with logical defaults. I.E. if I choose CUPS then it shouldn't start lpd unless I tell it otherwise. Others may disagree this is just my personal preference. This is with cups-1.1.3-2mdk, cups-devel-1.1.3-2mdk and cups-drivers-0.3.6-12mdk I was also impressed when I made the "Auto install floppy" that it worked flawlessly with my SuperDisk in my laptop which in the past floppies have not worked very well with!

I just created a cooker install cd, and tried to install cooker in a vmware virtual machine. I observed two problems: 1) Mandrake started the console based installer, not the graphical one. 2) The installer has problems with the empty disk: "DiskDrake failed to read correctly the partition table. Continue at your own risk!" Then after pressing OK: "An error occurred ask_from_list: empty list." And after pressing OK again, I get back to the first message. On console 3 it writes: * found a empty partition table on /dev/hda at sector 0 * partitioning wizard log: wizlogNot enough free space to allocate new partitions wizlogThere is no existing partition to use wizlogThere is no FAT partitions to resize or to use as loopback (or not enough space left) * warining: ask_from_list: empty list at /usr/bin/perl-install/interactive.pm line 109 I even tried to create a partition manually, but I still get the same message.

[Cooker] Cooker Install
An attempt to make a fresh custom developer install from the current cooker (rsync from the aarnet mirror) caused both KDE1 and KDE2 to be listed to be installed. My understanding is that Cooker had changed over to KDE2 as default and dropped KDE1. It is my further understanding that KDE1 and KDE2 cannot both be installed unless they are installed in different places and a logon selection of one or the other provided. With the current RPMs, if install of KDE1 is to be possible, the choice of one at install time should by some mechanism deactivate install of the other. Regards, Ron. [AU]

I reinstalled this morning and much to my dismay i am having a dissiing amount of problems. problem one. no sound!! , sndconfig is now defunct? and missing from the cooker distrib. lorthar/kudzu dose NOT detect my AWE 64 .. sndconfig detected the card perfect and installed the modules correctly. problem two, /usr/bin/esd* needs to be chmod a+x in order for a lot of the gnome sounds and enlightement sounds to function correctly as a normal user. this is not a new problem , but a persistant one , as soon as I log in I must imidetly chmod a+x /usr/bin/esd* problem three during the install after deslecting a lot of the "groups" (expert install/server) no matter how many i desslect it still clamins that the install will take 2047 megs and complains that it will attempt to contiue but not all the packages will be able to installed due to disk space limitations.. once in the package selction , everything goes fine.. problem four , I must reiderate that we need to replace qt 2.0.1 with qt 2.1 , as licq is the only program we use that requires qt 2. (besides kde 2 (wich needs 2.1 as well) and there is just no reson to contuie to use the 2.01 since it causes some serious and minor bugs to apear in licq ! problem five apon bootup , i have no X, gdm attempts to start, and then imiedtly shuts down over and over again, after getting the machine into runlevel 3, i started X manuly and descovered that X is deniing gdm access to the display 0.0 invalid magic cookie... cookies! hehe. but non the less it has rendered gdm unsusalbe, and I am unable to get to function no matter how much i play with the X/gdm/xdm configuration problems, asl i noticed that on starting gnome-session manualy I get the following error msg's wolvesden.dhs.org:/tmp/.ICE-unix/14428,tcp/darkangel.wolvesden.dhs.org:1067 Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1 /bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: Permission denied Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0".

Note the Xlib erros. i get something to that affect i do beleave also when starting gdm only it is to do with the securitiy or something like that. problem five on boot up i recieved and error msg about the httpd server starting with ssl, no such file or directory ssl.so or something to that affect, I installed the ssl mods (acroding to the instalation anyway. so there is a prolly a configuration problem when doing the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf problem six using linuxconf now , when you exit and ask it to display changes it has to do , it crashes and brings up the gnome crash dialog box, (simply aplying changes dose not crash it) the installation was as I stated before done under expert, (hd.img) server instalation, packages were installed using package selection screen, with auto deps unchecked (so it would display the information about what it was installing.. btw I love that new option!!) securtity level normal(medium?) was chosen, using X 4 server that comes with the distrib, no modifiactions except for custom XFree86config-4 file, though it was haveing problems before this was used. X was set to start at boot, though it is now running in level 3 , to get around the gdm problem.. I will attempt to install kdm now and get back to you on wherether or not that functions. (no kde programs are currently installed except for kdesu (for the mandrake dekstop options.. hey guys why don't we use gsu for the gnome desktop instead?? ) -DarkWlf
