You might want to give some info about the setup you are installing it on, and 
you might want to post this to expert too.

have you tried any of the standard noapic, acpi=ht boot parameters?

  
  
Install (and post-install) are using acpi=ht by default.

You might want to try "noapic", "nolapic", "ide=nodma", some
"pci=" options might help also.

  

After seeing the other threads on the list, I believe that this issue
is related to the LG CD-Rom issue.  I had a LG 40x (CRD-8400B) that was
toasted my 9.2.  (Had 9.1 on the box before with no install errors.) -
Not good...

I tried building again today with a slightly modified spec but the build

gdam-0.942/skin/default/Makefile created on klama is different from that
created on either of 2 home machines on which I am able to successfully
build gdam.

I have attached a diff -u

Was hoping that I could get a successful build and upload.
Truth be told I was rather pleased with my packaging of it.

Sure, but I don't know if I want to be the maintainer.

I have repackaged it, there are now 11 rpms, and eliminated most of the
rpmlint errors. The only 1 remaining
"non-versioned-file-in-library-package" over which I am not going to
worry.

Well, if I am going to upload it I had better clean up the spec some

Well, I've played around with it some.

The result http://www.eslrahc.com/gdam-0.942-1cae.src.rpm

This breaks the package into..
  gdam-common-0.942-1cae.i586.rpm
  gdam-server-0.942-1cae.i586.rpm
  gdam-client-0.942-1cae.i586.rpm

  gdam-alsa-plugin-0.942-1cae.i586.rpm
  gdam-xmms-plugin-0.942-1cae.i586.rpm

It still gives rpmlint a long list of things to complain about.

I had have not broken it apart yet either.
But I was thinking along the lines of gdam-common, gdam-client,
gdam-server, gdam-plugins, with separate xmms and alsa plugins.

If I get the chance today to do it I'll put the src.rpm on my site.

I don't really feel like libifying the plugins, even if they do have a major

I thought plugins were usually just names .so?

Of course I could just leave it as one package... it's not that big.

Austin, if you have no luck with either of the methods already posted, I
was able to do a successful build using 2 gcc patches.

I take it that you are planning to break this up into a 1/2 doz

If you wish I'll send you the patches and the spec I used, either direct

Hmm, those come from /usr/share/pci.ids and are not available

It's not necessary, but it would be nice if all the functionality that
you get from an OEM installation of other OS's from IBM was available
out-the-box for Mandrake. tpctl is the only one in main, tp4utils and
tpb in contrib are nice-to-have on Thinkpads.

Does this mean you want me to test ;-). AFAIK, dmidecode is now used in
lm_sensors package to *prevent* probing of sensors in Thinkpad's (which
can be fatal).

> Any less invasive way

Hmm, you will catch it with some "mobile" display cards, but not all. I
will look into this ...

Maybe probe a thinkpad driver (in-kernel since just after 9.1)? smapi
and superio modules seem to not load on other systems (ie my desktop),
while they load on my Thinkpad 600X.

hopefully we have other ways to guess for a laptop. current code
is:

sub isLaptop() {
hasPCMCIA() || (matching_desc('C&T.*655[45]\d') || matching_desc('C&T.*68554') ||

Why not. I didn't personally know thinkpads needed an additional
package. If dmidecode is supposed to not crash the machine (I
suppose it tried to read in BIOS memory). Any less invasive way
to guess for a thinkpad? Anything thinkpad-special in

[Cooker] [HELP WANTED] "model name" of your /proc/cpuinfo

2003-08-19 Thread Guillaume Cottenceau
Hi,

Could you please copy the "model name" line of the /proc/cpuinfo
of your laptop computer(s)?

This is to try and be more efficient about determining from drakx
if you're running a laptop - noticing it might be a good idea to
say that we're running a laptop if the model name contains
"Mobile".

You will get better responses for this kind of question on the newbie or
expert lists.

If you're a MandrakeClub member, you could request to have it packaged
for 9.0.

Of course, for any useful response, it would save other's time to
include a url to the homepage and/or downloads that you are using.

[Cooker] Help with a new drakwizard ... fillscript

2002-12-22 Thread Buchan Milne
I am working on what I hope will be a drakwizard to configure OpenLDAP and
import user accounts etc, but:
1)my perl ain't so good
2)there doesn't seem to be much doco on drakwizard

So I have a quick question (and probably more to follow):
I have a script:

[bgmilne@bgmilne ldap_wizard]$ cat ./scripts/get_domain.sh
#!/bin/bash

. /etc/sysconfig/network

DN=`echo $DOMAINNAME|sed -e 's/\./,dc=/g'`
echo "dc=$DN"

exit 0
[bgmilne@bgmilne ldap_wizard]$

which when I run it gives me this:
[bgmilne@bgmilne ldap_wizard]$  ./scripts/get_domain.sh
dc=mydomain,dc=com

(I will probably use 'hostname -d' in future, but this is just for
debugging), and have listed it as a fillscript:



and:




The info one works, but the Freetext one does not ...

Also, can a Freetext have a default entry besides using a fillscript?

Is there more doco on drakwizard somewhere?

Regards,
Buchan

So you want to downgrade your  C++ compiler to 2.96? That's not a good
idea, because you'll have to downgrade a lot of libraries too, if you
want to use them in your programs.

It would be better if you tried to fix the broken packages and report
the gcc bugs you find to the bug tracking systems.

No. Actually, what you suggest is default and the exact reason why LVM
fails. It is one of two cases known to me when you *must* mount devfs if
it is compiled into kernel. The partition naming was discussed on lkml
beginning of this year (and may be before as well). It is not goning to
change (as long as devfs has current maintainer).

Would this work even if I did not upgraded any other packages beside the
kernel?

Is there a way to tell the kernel to fall back to the old /dev as a parameter
like devfs=off?

Remember that I can only mount the root partition when I boot ...

Your June version did not use devfs and now Mandrake does. It means that
partition names have changed - instead of hda4 and like you get
ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4. Look into /proc/partitions.

If vgscan does not find them it means you do not mount devfs and new
names do not exist.

No. Add devfs=mount to kernel options and reboot.. Or recompile kernel
without devfs.

My machine at work is an install of MandrakeFreq ISOs from June (I think
0622), and last Friday I upgraded the kernel packages to the latest
cooker (at that time) because of the big DoS and local root holes
discovered. After I rebooted, I was confronted with a huge problem, my
LVM (yes I managed to do an LVM install from those ISOs ;-) ) volumes
were not recognized! I can boot, since my root is not on lvm; after
playing with the lvm tools for a while, I managed to wipe the config
files in /etc, but I think that is not a problem, since vgscan should
rebuilt them. I was able to insert the lvm module, and get a /proc dir,
but I was not able to read the physical volume ...

I guess I need to install a new set of the lvm tools (I am compiling
them statically from the rpm right now); am I right?

2001-09-24 Thread Gary Lawrence Murphy


Help!  I accidentally torched the PCMCIA installation on my laptop
and I need to find a replacement copy of kernel-pcmcia-2.4.3-20mdk

If anyone has this, or if it is archived anywhere, please let me know.

The reason I need this specific version is to match the ltmodem lucent
winmodem driver (and a few others) built against this edition of the
kernel.

I removed them from my repository, since they are now in contribs (well 
not my packages : Lenny rebuilt them and solved the problem with the 
test tools by doing another "testtools" package). For one of the tools, 
we had to get it in test/.libs instead of test/, though. That's odd but 
it works now.

I was about to try it but I do not see this RPM there, it was
libavc1394, right? Do you still have a problem?

Background, hda is completely reformatted by Mdk8.0 without Zip drive and 
then Cooker is installed. The box is now rebooted with the Zip drive.

As mentioned earlier I have no icons for cdrom and floppy on this install, 
and the added Zip does not show up.

Thank you Michael for this help, you seem right! Lenny released 
libavc1394 a few days ago, but without the binary test programs, and by 
looking at his spec file, what you've written is exactly what he did. 
The spec file is generic. But I'm waiting for him to include the 
binaries though... =)

Did you try using:

%build
%configure
%make

%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%makeinstall

These "generic" instructions should work for most small packages that have
configure scripts, including (I think) ones that use libtool.  Certainly I
remember seeing references to libtool flash past during the %build section

When this occurred, I had opted for a change of 'type' i.e. from ext2 to 
ext3, and this was specifically for hda8 -> hda9 and hda10 are influenced.

It is no big deal, I can reformat the whole shit, but I thought I needed a 
command to specifically format hda8 in ext2, this should be done from hda6 my 
Mdk8.0 that don't understand ext3 but can read hda7, hda9 and hda10. So their 
boundaries are firmly established in Mdk8.0.

What data do you want from BIOS, you have got my report.bug there are the 
data concerning the IBM 30 GB harddrive. I don't have your know how, sorry.

If this is correct (? chs not ending in the right place) this cause no error for
partition table provided they are not overlaping.

So, error can be associated with something else.

But can you check the geometry directly in the BIOS maybe ?

No, not for a very long time. I suspect that what is wrong is the numbers 
given in the partition table.

When in Mdk 8.0, this is hda6, i still can get at the file-tree and read 
files.

According to my understanding, the physical disk is still correctly addressed 
in inodes. What is corrupted is the 'mapping' of inodes in the partition 
table.

I have unmounted hda7, hda8, hda9 and hda10.

Here is the result from sfdisk -l /dev/hda:

Disk /dev/hda: 3737 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track

fsck finds hda7, hda9,hda10 clean - here is the outcome from fsck /dev/hda8:

[root@Archimedes guran]# fsck /dev/hda8

The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 1283184 blocks
The physical size of the device is 126132 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort? 

Please what should I do now?

Thanks for your answer, Andrej, but I did not understand what I was 
supposed to do with what you wrote... :( Well, I tried to add a 
"libtool" line in my specfile but it complains about the file dvcont 
now, as it is not a good libtool file or something like that...

Well, ermmm, I will upload the 2mdk package to /incoming, with still 
*broken* test programs, since the library should work without them 
anyway. And I will add a "TODO" in the changelog to state that I'm not 
good enough to fix the binaries. Only hope is that the author of the 
program comes with a simple solution to fix this problem (but I doubt it 
is related to his program since it compiles fine from tarball, what is 
wrong must be the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT that libtool does not use, or 
something like this).

Anyway, I upload the SRPM at http://atlantid.org/rpms just in case 
you're interested to see for yourself. Note that you will need to 
install libraw1394 at the same location (the one in contribs will not 
work). Those packages are safe regarding what is installed and 
uninstalled, I've tested them.

When you build program that depends on shared libraries you sometimes
need to hardcode library location in this program (not every system
provides ldconfig :-). Even with LD_LIBRARY_PATH this may be needed for
suid programs that often ignore it for security reasons. And even if you
install libraries in standard place yu can't install program until
libraries are really installed. So libtool creates shell wrapper that
basically does something like

LD_LIBRARY_PATH= your-real-program

(of course exact contents is system dependent). Real binary program is
hidden somewhere in build directory.

You have to install your program using

libtool --mode=install

There were reports about problems with automatic libtoolization used in
Mandrake RPMs. I presume, libtoolize program does not catch all cases
correctly. Here is how your install rule may look like:

$(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$p
$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/`echo $$p|sed 's/$(EXEEXT)$$//'|sed
'$(transform)'|sed 's/$$/$(EXEEXT)/'`

[Cooker] (HELP!) (rpm) (libtool) (going mad)

2001-08-31 Thread Grégoire Colbert

Arrrgh,

I am experiencing a "libtool" related problem while trying to build a 
RPM (namely libavc1394). Everything *seems* to go fine, real fine 
indeed, the RPMS got built, files in right place, etc. Problem is that 
one binary "does not work". A closer look to this file shows that it is 
not the expected binary, but a *shell script* beginning with the lines :

#! /bin/sh

# dvcont - temporary wrapper script for .libs/dvcont
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.3.5 (1.385.2.206 2000/05/27 
11:12:27)
#
# The dvcont program cannot be directly executed until all the libtool
# libraries that it depends on are installed.
#
# This wrapper script should never be moved out of the build directory.
# If it is, it will not operate correctly.

I never heard before about "libtool", so I'm quite puzzled. I used the 
following lines in my spec file :

%prep
rm -rf %{buildroot}
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/%name-%version

%setup

%build
./configure --prefix=%_prefix

%make prefix=%{buildroot}%_prefix

%install
%make prefix=%{buildroot}%_prefix install


Since I am slowly falling into madness, could someone give me a clue 
about what I did wrong? I rebuilt the package dozens of times, and still 
get the same problem. It drives me crazy.

Strange, I experienced exactly the same crash while doing a text expert
install using CDs. I entered the amount of memory manually (160 MB and I
had no problems apart from the normal total freeze on X installation.
With a graphical install I've never had that message. The graphics
freeze meant resetting, running fsck manually to fix the damage done,
and copying my saved XF86config file. When will Mandrake fix the S3
Virge graphics install freeze? No other distros I've tried have it, and
Mandrake had fixed it for 7.2, now it's back since 8.0 beta 2.
