Find out for yourself: # unset DISPLAY # drakxconf # drakwizard Hmm, drakwizard seems to miss a cancel button in ncurses, so you may need to background it to kill it ... but it works. If there is anything that linuxconf does better, it is more worthwhile implementing it well in drakxtools than wasting time supporting a tool which is written only for Redhat.

a while ago there was some talk about moving things to contrib to create more space. Perhaps I am ignorant to suggest this but, why not remove linux conf from main? - most of its functionality is covered by other tools (draktools) - often, the tools are broken or outdated. When i was still using it (perhaps a year ago) it usually managed to break something. - In my experience, I never seen/hear of anybody using it on a mandrake system.

[Cooker] Linuxconf + devfsd bug
For a long time now, when exiting linuxconf, it states that some of my services on my system are not running (saslauthd, httpd) when if fact they are running and doing a: service httpd status reports them as running. I don't know why. However, on one of two systems I have running 9.0 rc2 linuxconf says: "Missing configuration file /etc/devsfsd.config for service devfsd". The file is actually /etc/devfsd.conf. Where can I fix this? TIA, Bill Shirley

Yeah... it isn't sh-utils. It's the fact that you're not using GNOME
and/or gnome-terminal. Do me a favor and try to run it from a
gnome-terminal and let me know if it works (it should).

Try the gnome-terminal thing. I really have *no* clue why this is
happening except that maybe gnome-linuxconf is over a year old with no
updates and maybe doesn't work with GTK2... I have to try to remove all
GTK2 files and try to rebuild it to see if it will work then.

Which sh-utils do you have installed? Did you su to root in order to
run linuxconf, but are logged into X as the user?
linuxconf uses consolehelper now, so you can just run linuxconf as a
normal user and it will ask for the root password.
But the new su, in sh-utils-2.0.15-2mdk should prevent these errors...
I've been using linuxconf all morning for testing and couldn't once
reproduce this.

[Cooker] linuxconf-lang bad dependencies
Hi! There are bad dependencies in linuxconf-lang. Probably there are spaces missing in the .spec file. It requires a package like this linuxconf-1.26-3mdk and not linuxconf of version 1.26-3mdk Alexander Feigl

Ok - I have searched through the mail archive but could not find the mails I was looking for so I found them in my Mdk 8.0 - here goes: Michael, sent one on tue 19 june named "Today's cooker fresh instal.. where he says that he had the same time delay when he had problem with his ethernet card -- OBS!

My stupid use of the English language, what I mean is that when linuxconf &c is loaded it waits for about 2min, in Ctrl-Alt-F1 there is a graphic sign with an OK button which is highlighted. In the right lower corner there is a number starting at 15 and counting down. If I press Enter several times I can force the 'counter' to start next round and when ended continues to install. regards guran

You can use linuxconf via it web interface if you add: linuxconf stream tcp wait root /sbin/linixconf linuxconf --http to your /etc/inetd.conf. This works for me at least.

Re: [Cooker] linuxconf
It says 7.1b but it is cooker, and so I have whatever linuxconf is in
cooker as of today :) But I think the mandrake-release rpm isn't updated
enough. RedHat uses the date the last upload was. For Cooker that would be
enarly every day, but it is very useful instead of saying "7.1b". The
server I used was rpmfind.net.

[Cooker] linuxconf & sendmail
Hi, I've tried to configure my /etc/sendmail.cf file with linuxconf. It adds a line like V8/Berkeley. When I start sendmail (sendmail-8.10.1-2mdk) it breaks with the message wrong cf-version expecting version 9. When I change the mentioned line to V9/Berkeley sendmail starts but doesn't deliver the mail correctly. I think the directory and config file structure (e.g. the position of sendmail.cw) has changed in sendmail 8.10 but I don't know if this is the only problem...

The tool like "linuxconf" is very useful for > me and I must install it manually every time I install Mandrake 7.1 do you mean package ``linuxconf'' or package ``gnome-linuxconf'' ? linuxconf has a very high priority and AFAIK IMHO [2 hit combo!] it should be installed provided your install size is at least ~ 400 Mb. however, in server install, gnome-linuxconf will not be installed if you don't manually select it in package tree. please use DrakConf for configuration of your machine. -- Guillaume Cottenceau
[Cooker] Linuxconf
Hi, The Mandrake 7.1 custom server installation doesn't install the "linuxconf" by default (?) The tool like "linuxconf" is very useful for me and I must install it manually every time I install Mandrake 7.1 In some text mode menus "linuxconf" tries to display windows wider then the screen width is. Therefore the ending symbols of each line are wrapped to the beginning of the next line. For the first time this bug I saw in RedHat 6.2 and Mandrake 7.0 and now in Mandrake 7.1 Example: Control/Control files and systems/Configure Linuxconf nodules/ "Error Dialog too wide: Max_prompt = 13 Max_field = 74" In "linuxconf" Control/Package management (RPM)/Preferences the wrong (?) "/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS" directory is set. Wouldn't be nice to see the Mandrake directory there :) Thanks, Eduardas

I installed quite well Mandrake7 yesterday. I tried t make a ghost on my vfat partition where Windoz is installed. Besides, i installed glib1.0 and gtk1.0 from mandrake VENUS in order to make CHEOPS working. I did my ghost from win 98 startup disk. Today, i remove the ghost file. NOW, i can't launch LINUXCONF anymore. The message in a terminal is : "remadmin (GUI) sortie normale" I've rebooted or logout but nothing to do. What do you think about it? Does someone know this problem ? Is it due to the dos partition mounting problem?
[Cooker] LinuxConf SEGFAULTS on setting hostname
When I upgraded to the Newest Oxygen, It somehow didn't kep all my network settings. My hostname was changed back to localhost.localdomain. When I use linuxconf or DrakConf to try to change the hostname it segfaults when I try to apply the changes. Is there a bug in linuxconf?

I have a very strange problem with linuxconf. ( read some message with same problem on dejanews ) The lilo menu does not work! When I try to modify something ( e.g. new kernel compiled ) linuxconf reports that /dev/hda1 is not valid linux partition. Lilo works and I does not have any boot problem. The very strange thing is that linuxconf sometime worked ( don't remember with wich installation ) and my partiton is unchanged from months. My HD is 13 GB Maxtor (EIDE) : 1st partition 2 Gb with linux ext2 2nd partition 4 Gb with Windows fat32 3rd and 4th partition with linux ext2 Bye Alessandro

[Cooker] Linuxconf Problem
The startup script for linuxconf calls "installif" but I can't find this anywhere. Anybody know what RPM I might be able to find this in? Thomas M. Beaudry K8LA / YS1ZTM [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just let my mind wander and it didn't come back.
