You aren't really going to get much benefit running a local mirror if the mirrors are out-of-sync, and I don't know how much bandwidth saving you'll get from rsync in the current state of affairs. If you only need to update selected packages, using a remote mirror should be no problem.

Yep, I could confirm, had the same problem here :-(((. My solution was as follows : 1) manually mount filesystems to get /usr (without devfsd, you have to mount things like /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2, since /dev/hda2 is not there. Alternatively, you could mknod a proper device file, but you have to know the major, minor numbers - I didn't). 2) service network start 3) urpmi.update main 4) urpmi pam (had to find a server, which had good pam already) 5) restart I omitted the cursing and loathing in-between, but on Cooker such things could be expected, since it is alpha code.

Hi again I just want to report that after the newest urpmi --auto-select of this morning the system boots up normally again. Thank you.

There should still a way to kill the whole package update process. This is need because on either slow machines/connections someone might be able to wait for it to finish.

[Cooker] 8.2 RC1 install and cooker updates
Installed 8.2 RC1. Overall great experience. I tried to go through the mailing list and through other archive/google searches and managed a few things that I couldn't figure out completely. I apologize ff it has come up before and it has slipped passed me. The only thing I noticed from the regular install has to do with the network settings. The install asks for the following settings for the network: Hostname: DNS Server: Gateway: I put in the FQDN with the hostname, so machinename.mydomain.com After the install is through I can't ping any machine on mydomain.com. So I check the various configuration files and find the following: resolv.conf has the following entries: search localdomain nameserver xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq Then I look at the file /etc/sysconfig/network and see that the HOSTNAME is set to machinename.mydomain.com but the DOMAINNAME is set to localdomain. At this stage I can't ping hostnames on my network without the full domainname. So I add the line "domain mydomain.com" to resolv.conf and now I can ping hostnames without the domain. I also change the DOMAINNAME line in /etc/sysconfig/network to reflect mydomain.com. I checked on a Redhat 7.2 machine and saw that resolv.conf doesn't have the domain line in it and the network file doesn't have the DOMAINNAME line but I can ping hostnames on my domain without the full domainname. Not sure where else to look for this. The next thing I noticed is when I do updates with the current cooker is that it updates bootsplash among other things (version is 1.3.9-1mdk). Now with the new one installed the graphical screen disappears and only the Mandrake logo shows up under the kernel version. Then I get a black screen with the white text for the few init lines. On shutdown I get a black screen with a blue bar going accross the bottom. So I uninstalled the update and then reinstalled the one that came with RC1 (1.3.8-1mdk) and still the same result. Can't get it back to the graphical way of just after the RC1 install. Also reran lilo and also tried to recreate a new initrd. This happened also when I did a bootsplash upgrade with Beta 4. Next install is the emu10k1-tools-0.9.4-1mdk as I have a SB Live 5.1 with Digital Boston Speakers. The rpm installs the needed files like /usr/bin/emu-config , /usr/bin/emu10k1-ctl (why was this one renamed from the original package??) and /etc/emu.conf where I set the Digital Speaker option to Yes. If I run the command /usr/bin/emu-config -d manually then everything works fine. The documentation then says to add the following lines to the /etc/modules.conf : post-install emu10k1 /usr/bin/emu10k1-ctl That doesn't work. Only got it to work by adding the following line instead: post-install emu10k1 /usr/bin/emu-config -d But that circumvents the use of the options file in /etc And last but not least :-) I have a Geforce 2MX 400 and I downloaded the newest drivers from NVIDIA (source files for GLX and kernel). Both compile and install go smooth and X starts properly and all 3D apps work great. But if I reboot I can't start X unless I do a insmod NVdriver manually as root first. The line it puts into modules.conf is: alias /dev/nvidia/* NVdriver I tried to change that to : alias char-major-195 NVdriver but it still doesn't get loaded at boot time. The only way so far I found is to do the manual insmod NVdriver after every boot. (I know that these are proprietary drivers and this might not be the right place to discuss issues with them, but still thought I would at least mention this). Ok, I think that's it so far. Am looking forward to the released version and see if the above issues will be gone or maybe there are some simple fixes for them. Thank you Serge

[Cooker] updates to beta 3
Hello cooker, I'm just wondering, are the rpm's in 'cooker' at this point updates to the beta branch? Or does Cooker just go on independent of what the beta status is? If bugs are found in certain packages in beta 3, do I just have to wait for the next release for the fix? Tia, Mike Mike & Tracy Holt Kirkland, WA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] Updates??
I just reinstalled 8.0 and attempted to use the software manager to update it as I assumed since Traktopel has been out awhile now there would be some updates available. Not so, according to ftp.ciril.fr. Wasn't there at least an upgrade to KDElibs from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2? Not to mention the security ones RedHat sends me mail about What is up with this? -- -m-

[Cooker] cooker updates network overload
Help !!! I'm getting very frustrated with downloading cooker ! I've been trying to get one for 18 hours now, and still haven't been able to. - cooker updates are so frequent that new release is out before the previous has been propagated to mirrors. This makes is useless to have mirrors. I never know what is the latest release. - I never know that I have a consistent state of install+RPMS+base/* Problem : the best assurance that I have a self-consistent fileset is to use the primary site (sunsite.uio.no), therefore causing a bandwidth bottleneck. It has happened to me several times that a new release caught me in the middle of doing rsync, so I ended up with an inconsistent state, and so was wondering why cooker isn't working as it is supposed to ! Fixing this problem will eliminate many completely unnecessary headaches to your beta testers, who cannot currenly reliably beta test. Because of the reasons above, it is as if cooker didn't have any mirrors. I cannot even get onto the rsync server "@ERROR: max connections (50) reached - try again later", and so cannot effectively do beta testing. Proposed actions : 1. clearly indicate the version/release of self-consistent filesets (is this done now by Mandrake/VERSION and install/VERSION ?) 2. cause cooker releases to be promptly replicated to several sites, so that the primary site doesn't become overloaded. 3. at each release publish the most current VERSION on a high-availability spot (no rsync or FTP with less than 1000 users limit, please, but rather use a web page / http access for this, do not use mailing list, as it takes sometimes many hours to get the msgs), so that we may know whether we are up to date or not. It can be quite futile and useless to do beta testing on an old beta. 4. indicate to us that I've finished rsyncing the same release that we have started rsyncing ! I.e. before a replica starts being updated, remove the VERSION file. That way people will know that any download attempts are futile, since they will not end up with a consistent fileset. When you are done updating a replica, put the new VERSION file in, so people know that it makes sense to download it again. Also, if I finish syncing and the VERSION file is different from when I started, I know I have to resync now. I.e. the following command will ensure that when it is finished, I have a complete and self-consistent cooker on my HD. $ rsync mirror::cooker/VERSION ./VERSION.previous $ while ! cmp VERSION VERSION.previous ; > rsync mirror::cooker/VERSION ./VERSION.previous ; > do rsync mirror:cooker . ; > done $ rm ./VERSION.previous This will greatly help us to do effective beta test on such frequent beta releases.

[Cooker] cooker updates today.
Hello, I applied today updates to my cooker install and my X quit working. After looking around a bit I found that one of the updates changed the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file. It changed it so that the file had the line Desktop=GNOME. I changed this back to just GNOME and then X started working again. Also there was a conflict /usr/bin/nc was a conflict between nedit and nc. -- Best regards, Robin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
