mozilla segfault + april 15 packages

2002-04-18 Thread Peter R. Wood - Lists

I just pulled in some updates from a cooker-ppc mirror. They were dated
April 15, and included slightly newer versions of mozilla, libnspr4,
libnss, etc. After installing all of these updated packages, Mozilla
segfaults on launch. I have tried removing the new mozilla and libnspr4
packages, and replacing them with the ones from 8.2b2, but the segfault
seems to have stuck. Any ideas on what has changed in these new packages
that might cause mozilla to segfault on startup? Nothing in my environment
has changed other than these packages from April 15.

Thanks,

Peter

Update, I have also tried removing the new gdk packages and replacing them
with the old versions:

gdk-pixbuf-loaders-0.16.0-1mdk
libgdk-pixbuf-gnomecanvas1-0.16.0-1mdk
libgdk-pixbuf2-0.16.0-1mdk
libgdk-pixbuf-xlib2-0.16.0-1mdk

This also did not alleviate the problem...

Ah, I was just able to get on ftp.orst.edu , downloading both ISO's at once,
around 50 KB/s each over cable modem.  Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to burn
the ISO's. :-)

 I was able to get mine off of the Oregon State server with no problem.
 Use an ftp program and login as anonymous with email password. Seems to
 have more slots than purely anonymous ftp. From there to University of
 Nevada, Reno, I was able to sustain a 500+ kbps transfer. Took about 30
 minutes for both images.






Re: trying to add cooker media to mandrake 8.0

OK, thanks. I'll try this.

On a similar note, is there a place from which I can rsync the latest cooker
packages?

Updating software via urpmi (WAS install report)

2002-03-12 Thread Peter R. Wood (Lists)

 Is there any text-based way to automagically pull in new packages from the
 mirrors?

I have somewhat answered my own question - I have found urpmi, and found out
about urpmi.addmedia to let me add a source. But I'm not exactly sure what
URL I need to put in. My guess is:

urpmi.addmedia
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake-devel/coo
ker/ppc/Mandrake/base/ with hdlist1.cz

Does this look right?  When I run it, I get some errors such as 'No such
file 'descriptions''. And after the media is added, when I try to do 'urpmi
evolution' it seems to try and download the dependencies, but in fact states
that the files do not exist on the server. Does the problem perhaps lie in
distro.ibiblio.org, or did I set up my media incorrectly?

Ok, I have answered my own question again. Here is the command I used, this
time building a successful media list:

urpmi.addmedia --distrib
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake-devel/coo
ker/ppc/Mandrake/

This automatically gets the hdlists, etc.

working triple-boot? please email

2002-03-06 Thread Peter R. Wood (Lists)

Greetings,

If anyone has a working triple-boot set up on a NewWorld machine as follows,
please email me *off-list* and let me know how you got it to work:

MacOS X
MacOS 9
Mandrake 8.x PPC

I have successfully done OSX + OS9, and OS9 + Mandrake, but I can't seem to
get all three to work together.

This is on a Pismo PowerBook

Thanks,

Peter
