[Cooker] Install Report 9.0 b 1 (via cooker)
Noticed a few things, 1. When booting from a floppy (nfs install), the Advanced screen (F2) has a spelling error: secutiry=n should be seceurity-n 2. GUI install; while formatting partitions, the information box is blank until the end when flashes up the last partion formatted, then immediately goes on the package group selection. 3. I asume that new graphics will be supplied later (during package installation) that say 9.0 instead of 8.2. 4. On the main diag log for Printer Installation: a) the text: ...available for Star Office/OpenOffice.org should may be?? have the .org removed?? b) Changing the lable on the 'Quit' button to Done or OK would be better, more conistent with other dialogs 5. Old whine - what are the chances of having the selected services dumped to the auto_inst.cfg file? 6. When the option Clean tmp is selected in the Bootloader dialog, an fstab entry gets created which mounts the tmpfs as /tmp. Is there a reason for this? Why not just let the mandrake_everytime script do the clean up? The reason I ask is that I have had a number of applications crash and complain about the /tmp partition being full. 7. With the KDE desk top, the Tip of the Day popup seems to be twice as wide as the available display area. 8. Within the first time wizard, Konqueror seems to segfaul (11) when I select the '...I already have an account/thanks' button on the mandrake web page. 9. With KOffice Suite running, I got a segfaul 11 when I exit KOffice with any of the applications open. Closing the application first, then exiting seems OK. I would appreciate any hints that could be forwarded to me about areas of the drakx auto install features that have changed. Best regards, Dave

As far as I know OpenOffice.org is the official name for the offcie suite so .org must be here. b) Changing the lable on the 'Quit' button to Done or OK would be better, more conistent with other dialogs I agree on this. Done sounds much better. 8. Within the first time wizard, Konqueror seems to segfaul (11) when I select the '...I already have an account/thanks' button on the mandrake web page. It also happened to me. 9. With KOffice Suite running, I got a segfaul 11 when I exit KOffice with any of the applications open. Closing the application first, then exiting seems OK. Seems to work fine here. -- Live long and prosper!

First I was just trying to understand what the reason was for this change (8.1 did not, 8.2 does and now 9.0), perhaps there was/is a reason that this is a good thing to do. I understand the benefits of a RAM based file system over some other mass storage device. However, the problem I see occurs on small memory machines when a number of applications are loaded and the system is begining to use swap. When main memory is consumed there is little room left for the tmpfs to locate more when an application (via KDE) needs more or I start another application. End result is there is no more main memory for the tmpfs, the application crashes and the console produces a warning that /tmp is full. Why not just let the mandrake_everytime script do the clean up? The reason I ask is that I have had a number of applications crash and complain about the /tmp partition being full. What's using /tmp? Mandrake has switched it so everything uses $HOME/tmp now. KDE on a fresh install is using about 625K on /tmp with only the desktop and a console active. This of course changes as I activate more applications. 7. With the KDE desk top, the Tip of the Day popup seems to be twice as wide as the available display area. What resolution are you running, 800x600? Sorry, that's just not gonna be sufficient. Actually the display I am using is 1024x768. Besides, KDE runs just fine on an 800x600 display. Only the Tip of the Day does not adjust itself for the display size, all other applications I have tried so far seem to work OK. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
