[Cooker] UPDATES 9.1 - kernel ipsec

2003-09-11 Thread Tibor Pittich
kernel from updates 9.1 (2.4.21-0.25mdk) contains freeswan version 2.00,
but 9.1 have freeswan user space utilities version 1.98.
this combination doesn't work properly :(

[Cooker] my local cooker updates: choices?

2003-09-02 Thread Tony Rick
It looks like my choices are to have a local mirror (~6GB), or wait for iso images
to be updated (which appears to be infrequently in comparison to devel-tree mirrors).
Are there any other choices?

against a mirror. 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.

AFAIK, most of this is covered in the CookerHowTo on the wiki.

I was able to get a bootable system by installing the PAM package

Hi

Current cooker system booted fine this morning.

cooker system and now I can't get it to boot regularly anymore. Lot's

2003-07-15 Thread Serge Pluess
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.

Thought I would list here a couple of the error/warning messages that 
appear in the /var/log/messages file. Not sure what (if any) impact 
they have, but here they are for your information:

Jul 15 06:44:00 athlon-sp kernel: Looking for splash picture 
found (800x600, 25593 bytes, v1).
Jul 15 06:44:00 athlon-sp kernel: bootsplash: Using deprecated v1 
header. Updating your splash utility recommended.
Jul 15 06:44:00 athlon-sp kernel: bootsplash: Find the latest version 
at ftp.suse.com/pub/people/stepan/bootsplash/

This one has crept his way back. I know it was gone a while ago 
(Using Alsa with SB Live) Will search for that one in the 
archives/google :

Jul 15 06:44:01 athlon-sp alsa:  succeeded

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.

 I have some other problems with RpmDrake:  
 1. Why isn't setting up other mirror types automated too.

I don't understand.

 2. [Wish/debug] Include a mirror:last updated entry. Users
 can remove dead mirrors inorder to cut down on update time.

This would need to connect to them all to show that :-(.

Hum, it could also be present in mirrorsfull.list from
mandrakesoft.com site, could be a good idea. But I'm not sure
it's worth the trouble.

 3. [Usability] During updating sources, show site current so
 users know that the RpmDrake is working. Its slso useful
 because it shows how long it takes to read each site. It might
 even be worth it to add a skip button. The user can then move
 to the next mirror on the list.  

Well they all get updated at the same time and we're in the urpmi
API at that time. I don't know if adding a callback for that in
the urpmi API would be worth the trouble as well. Francois,
what's your idea?

 4. [Annoyance] The default mirror should be hostname-mirror
 type]. This would prevent list of mirrors with a meaningless
 name.

I don't understand.

Is is planed to do something like multiple download at the same time and
fallback to other mirror automatically, this could hurt such behaviour.

But displaying all mirrors used at a time could help.

  even be worth it to add a skip button. The user can then move
  to the next mirror on the list.

 Well they all get updated at the same time and we're in the urpmi
 API at that time. I don't know if adding a callback for that in
 the urpmi API would be worth the trouble as well. Francois,
 what's your idea?

Is is planed to do something like multiple download at the same time and
fallback to other mirror automatically, this could hurt such behaviour.

But displaying all mirrors used at a time could help.

François.

I like the mirror fallback behavior and the progress bar someone mentioned would be 
great improvements. 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. Now that I think of it skipping would not have worked for that 
purpose  away.

I have some other problems with RpmDrake:  
1. Why isn't setting up other mirror types automated too.
2. [Wish/debug] Include a mirror:last updated entry. Users can remove dead mirrors 
inorder to cut down on update time.
3. [Usability] During updating sources, show site current so users know that the

4. [Annoyance] The default mirror should be hostname-mirror type]. This would prevent

I do have to say RpmDrake is definitly improving.

Yes and no.  Not everything has been recompiled.  And even if they have
been if it's not a C++ app it's likely to work on 8.2.  However, there
may be other issues that stop things from working right.  Same thing
holds true of the Mandrake-devel/contrib archive.

Correct, these are security or other updates done due to bugs.

If you're looking for things that are normally included in main for x86
but aren't on the ISO's for PPC I've got an archive of all the stuff
that didn't make 8.2.  But I don't have an 8.2 contrib archive.

All the things that would have been on the 3rd ISO had there been one

I'm not sure I'm not really interested in KDE3 myself so I haven't been

Actually Mandrake doesn't host any of it's own files for even x86.  They
have a internal mirror that very few sites have access too.  All the
other mirrors are just hosting out of the kindness of their hearts.

So Mandrake is walking a fine line.  If they put too much up for the
mirrors to get they may decide not to carry Mandrake anymore at all.
And if they put up too little then people like you get the wrong
impression.  

PPC is not a money making project at all.  Mandrake is doing this as a
contribution to the community.  So cut them some slack when it comes to
what they do.  I may be a bit vocal at times but I'm pretty
understanding about not getting a full binary mirror because of these
issues.

remove the slash. If it works for you send bug report to nVidia. If they

[Cooker] 8.2 RC1 install and cooker updates

2002-03-15 Thread Serge Pluess

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

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

[Cooker] cooker updates network overload

2001-03-14 Thread Jan Vicherek



  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.

 Thanks,

  Jan

W8 until the weekends... when the mdk hackers aren't working (do they
ever stop?) then it's easier to get up2date. Doing this during the
week-days is a challenge.

- 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.
This is ongoing development...

- 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.
Just rsync every hour, and regularly run urpmi.update and urpmi
--auto-select. That keeps my machines up2date...

  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.
Yup... I've been seeing the message too lately. The ftp.sunet.se rsync
server doesn't seem to be full (yet).

  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 don't think that this is going to work... :-)

  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

I do the following:
#!/bin/sh

rsync -av --partial --progress --stats --delete \
ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-devel/SRPMS/ /mirrors/SRPMS/

rsync -av --partial --progress --stats --delete \
ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-devel/cooker/ /mirrors/cooker/

rsync -av --partial --progress --stats --delete \
ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-devel/contrib/SRPMS/ /mirrors/contrib/SRPMS/

Enjoy!

Stefan

Pardon?  Personal preference aside (hey, you can filter whatever you
like), I think it's quite rude to tell someone that there is no place
for any kind of signature unless it is offensive (ie. swear words,
naked pictures, etc.).  Since you're filtering out this anyways, why
make a comment that is more offensive than the signature itself?

I also do find religious comments offensive by nature to reason and

[Cooker] cooker updates today.

2001-02-20 Thread Robin Cook

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.
