[Cooker] Cooker installation report (not good)
Hi 1) Installing with Grub on a dedicated /boot partition does not work (cannot boot) Installing with Lilo (graphical) on the same dedicated /boot works perfectly fine 2) Supermount is sloo. plus every ~5s it feels the need to access the floppy drive... also only root has access to the floppy... I wish supermount was dropped from the distro. It's never been working properly on any machines I've installed Mandrake (and this goes back several distro releases). Anyway that's always the 1st thing I get rid of after installing Mandrake... 3) Missing KDE programs (eg Konsole) 4) From the MDK login manager, I cannot reboot... only halt the machine I'm not gonna start again with the login manager and it has been discussed before I believe but why not use a properly themed GDM or KDM?!?! 5) In KDE, starting Kate for the 1st time shows only a small window and the show terminal is ticked by default. Why? It's an editor. 6) Mandrake from lilo prompt to MDK login manager (110 seconds) from MDK login manager to KDE (fully logged) ( 20 seconds) Gentoo from Grub prompt to GDM login manager ( 63 seconds) from GDM login manager to KDE (fully logged) ( 16 seconds) Measured on the same box (dual P3 733MHz, 512Mb Ram, HDs with similar perf according to hdparm) 7) Trying to format my USB HD (6Gb) using: mkfs.vfat -v -c -F 32 /dev/sda I get: Aug 16 11:04:50 wallaby kernel: MSDOS FS: Using codepage 850 Aug 16 11:04:50 wallaby kernel: MSDOS FS: IO charset iso8859-15 Aug 16 11:04:50 wallaby kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 41488 Aug 16 11:04:50 wallaby kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 08:01.

I have 3 HDs: hda, hde hdg hde hdg are connected to a Promise Ultra100 TX2 Ultra/ATA controller. On hdg I have a LVM volume group vg2 where Gentoo is setup. On hde I'm installing cooker with LVM (not straightforward, bug#4239) using volume group vg1. I've tried twice to do a complete cooker installation and twice my gentoo had pbm rebooting because of /etc/modules.conf being completely screwed... Considering I name my volumes under LVM as etclv, homelv, varlv etc... Could it be possible that the installer messed up something having access to /dev/vg1/etclv and /dev/vg2/etclv ?

Re: [Cooker] Cooker installation report
Adam Williamson wrote: Hi there, just thought i'd report on my experiences installing Cooker in case it's of any use to anyone. Decided to do so because my 8.2 installation was a bit messed up (my fault) and i'd installed quite a lot of stuff from Cooker on it anyway. I did this all yesterday (June 19) using the Cooker stuff available at ftp.ciril.fr . I didn't have any 700mb CDs handy so I couldn't really use the ISO images to do a CD install, so I decided to try an FTP-based installation. I wrote the boot floppy for this, booted it up, and found it just doesn't work - it gives the installation screen, so I do F1 and 'expert'. It lets me set up my network stuff, which judging from the console output runs fine, then as soon as it's brought up the network the system crashes, reporting install terminated abnormally - received signal 11 or something like that. Same happens despite twiddling with the networking setup and trying HTTP install. So I gave up on that, downloaded the whole tree to my hard disk (thank heavens for ADSL) and tried a hard disk install instead. Had much more success with this - the installation went almost as flawlessly as with 8.2. I used the same partitioning scheme as my 8.2 installation, with a 500 meg root partition, 400 meg swap partition (I have 192mb RAM) and two 7 gig partitions for /home and /usr. All hardware setup went flawlessly. However, during package installation a number of packages reported problems. In a rare burst of sense, I noted down the names of all the packages in case it'd be of use later. The ones that gave errors were: libdb3.3 urpmi gurpmi bonobo-activation libbonobo-activation esound libesound samba-common gedit gnome-guile glaxium ltris memprof tuxpuck The upshot of this was an almost functional installation ;). The system boots pretty much cleanly, but it wouldn't start GNOME at all (my guess is this was to do with the bonobo-activation errors). KDE3 started OK, though, so I decided to use that and see if I couldn't fix GNOME (GNOME is my standard desktop). I started KDE and decided to try a couple of my favourite applications, Evolution and Galeon, which also failed to work. As did Mozilla. At this point I went back to the list of failed packages and decided to do something about those. Several of them appeared to be missing from the download directory entirely, though I can't see how I could have missed downloading them (I used ncftpget with the -R switch to download the entire Cooker tree). I downloaded the missing ones and reinstalled them all (except glaxium, ltris, memprof and tuxpuck which I haven't got around to doing yet); all installed without errors, which wasn't what I was expecting. I tried Mozilla, Galeon and Evolution again, but with no luck. So I thought i'd see if GNOME had got fixed and if they'd work in that. GNOME was indeed fixed, and started up happily (GNOME2 is nice, isn't it?), but the three programs still weren't working. (By 'not working', I just remembered to mention, I mean that running Mozilla produced no obvious errors but it just didn't load at all - when run from a console, the console went back to a prompt after a couple of seconds and gave no output at all; Galeon would crash with a segmentation fault on startup; and Evolution complained about not being able to find ConfigDatabase). So I uninstalled and reinstalled all three (using RPM), which - I was surprised but happy to find - worked perfectly, and all three are now running happily. Finally I installed NVIDIA's linux drivers, which was a much happier experience than it was under 8.2. I compiled them from source and they installed almost perfectly - only glitch was the actual loading of the driver kernel module. NVIDIA's 'make install' script adds a 'modprobe NVdriver' line to the end of rc.modules; for some reason this didn't turn up on its own line but appended itself to the final line of the original file, making it 'donemodprobe NVdriver' instead of just 'done', which obviously wasn't helping anything. So I returned rc.modules to its original state and added a line just reading 'NVdriver' to /etc/modules and everything now works fine. So overall i'm quite impressed - with just that relatively minor bit of twiddling I now have a very functional installation, and I have GNOME2 to play about with :). Thanks a lot to the Cooker team, and hope some of the above is helpful to someone.

What does /bin/dmesg say, after making my recommended modules.conf changes, and rebooting? Whenever there is a "Device or resource busy" message, checking dmesg for additional error output is a good first step... That is where the driver "complains to" if it has problems. Jeff
[Cooker] Cooker installation and bugs report
Hi all, This my report after a fresh install in pcmcia+nfs mode of cooker (package of 27/09) and update (package of 28/9) on an HP 4150 laptop. First impressions - GREAT, I'm very glad to see how the linux-mandrake distro has been improved : wheel mouse detect and configured, pcmcia network start correctly, framebuffer are automatically installed, modem setting ... and so on. The install : --- 1/ During the install, at he network modem setting, i switch to console with Alt-F[1-5], because i doesn't known where the kernel find my modem (ttyS" or ttyS4), and when i go back to the installer by Alt-F7, the install crash with a message: install exited abnormally reboot... I need to boot again go to the rescue mode to finish install with some difficulties : i need to mount by hand my partition and some step are bypassed. The bugs: 2/ Sometimes XFree 4.01 have a fading problem : console are fader and the kdm screen have loose some color. I need to swith between X and the console to get the right color. This bug reproduce after logout kde or gnome session because X restart. My chipset is a neomagic. 3/ Sawfish crash with the Xinerama error for me too 4/ LinuxConf doesn't start from DrakConf. Process are here, but no window comes. It start normally from an xterm, but crash if i select "networking" then on the new window if i select another setting. The error is : "Error message from remadmin : X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)" Then i need to type CTRL-C to stop linuxconf. 5/ Configure screensaver under Kcontrol crash with the signall 11 error. KDE bug ? 6/ I have some pb to configure my soundcard. Harddrake detect it has an magic media 256 av (this is true). Hardrake try to install the nm256 module, but it failed with the traditionnal ressource or device busy. Sndconfig detect it too and say that it doesn't support it. Because this card work fine in WSS or SB emulation, i'm unable to configure it with hardrake or sndconfig in this mode. I need to grab an old sndconfig say 0.35 to configure it has an WSS card. 7/ My laptop have a removable drive bay to insert floppy or cd-rom. When my laptop is docked, the floppy work fine on the parallele port but failed when i put it into the bay. I can't access it and the command mount never stop and i'm unabble to kill it. If the laptop is undocked, the floppy work fine in the drive bay. 8/ I have sound working expected with kde. It seems that arts, the kde audio server, grab /dev/dsp and doesn't work. Never kde native sound work, sow or over complain that /dev/dsp is busy. I need to kill arts to play with the sound. Esd work fine, gnome too. 9/ Kudzu is not compatible with Aurora. When i remove my cdrom, kudzu detect it, but it can't open a screen and output characters to aurora and failed after the timeout. 10/ file auto.master reference a file named /etc/auto.net that doesn't exist. 11/ My laptop doesn't power down when i shutdown. Need '-p' option for the halt command in the kdm sessions.. 12/ Why KDE need lestiff ??? I hope this help you to improve this great beta release.

[Cooker] cooker - installation
cooker - ftp.sunet.se - 2000-09-20-1500-CET package error: XFree86-libs-4.0.1-5mdk,ncurses-5.1-5mdk sysklogd-1.3.33-5mdk pam-0.72-8mdk kernel-2.2.17-8mdk - then I bailed out. "Installer algoritm" If there is graphic cards in the market that is not fully supported by XFree86 - then I think that the installer 'must' be able to backtrack and leave a clean machine to the user and inform him on how and where he may perform a manual install. regards guran
