Re: [expert] Euro problem, only Spanish locale?
Recently there're several posts about displaying or printing other characters (Euro sign and Japanese). In those posts I see that *archaic* charsets (ISO-8859-15) are still used. Know that Unicode was supported in the kernel in the very first versions (round 1994 or 1995 if I'm not mistaken), Linux was once a promise to a new era where charset conflicts won't exist, however, WinNT (and esp Win2k) was several steps ahead in supporting Unicode. I really hope that Linux community could promote even faster the use of Unicode. Mandrake, which is far ahead in supporting i18n and l10n, could (or should) provide solutions where Unicode is used, or encourage more people to use Cyberbit font file (the only Unicode file I know of for the moment), or even provide Unicode subrange font file as alternate solutions.

Re: [expert] kernel-2.4.17-10mdk problems
True enough...and I am presently running a mostly functional box with the kernel.org 2.4.17 kernel, but when I run into problems like I have mentioned, I wonder if there is something wrong with my box (a missing lib, screwed up config, bad hardware) and so I want to see it corrected. I am also about to be connecting to/using a rather insecure network and hoped that having the grsecurity stuff would add an extra layer of protection to my system - AND I always hope that maybe Mandrake, vs kernel.org, has added something that will FIX MY SOUND PROBLEM. As for this sound problem, I have built the solo1 driver (and sound support) into my kernel. Every other sound-related module is off/not built and I have shut off alsa. At this point I do not know if it is an inherent problem with KDE and arts or the kernel but EVERY time I startup, I get warning messages from Artsd that it could not connect to /tmp/mcop-praedor/my machine - some unique number string and that there was a CPU overload and the process is shutting down (artsd is shutting down). I then have to manually restart artsd and then sound is OK. This is not the way it should be. It seems that KDE is retarded with regards to cleaning itself up - leaving servers/files in /tmp on a seemingly permanent basis rather than temporarily - and then KDE has a cow when it cannot connect to an OLD mcop server. This is one of the main driving forces behind me trying to build the latest cooker kernels. Beyond this sound problem, the system runs fine but DAMN I wish I could use a different soundserver properly with KDE rather than the braindead artsd.

[expert] cmpci.o sound module does not work anymore
Hi! I've got Mandrake-8.1 since its release. And a C-Media sound card since almost two years ago onboard and a P3 processor. The module cmpci.o worked fine for me, and even worked when I had Mandrake 6.x and insalled the source that came with the cdrom of the mainboard I can't remember doing nothing silly to my box :), but after one reboot, the sound is not working anymore. It is really strange, but under windows it still works (really strange, isn't it???). That's why I assume the soundcard still lives. I recompiled the kernel enabling and disabling some of the switches present for the cmpci module, but al the sound I get is a crunch each time sndconfig begins to and finishes to play a sound to test if the sound works (after detected the card). Another thing that happens is that when I loud the volume (up to 90 or 100 percent) some noises (like scratches) may be heard while louding. Does anybody know any diagnose I can do to test what is happening?? Perhaps should change something in the code and recompile the module. Thanks in advance. + Claudio J.

Re: [expert] NVidia will be bannished
I use a basic ATI Radeon 32 MB video card in my box (OEM) and it works perfectly (now) out of the box. Before around Mandrake 8.1 I was downloading, building, and installing the DRM source but the XFree86 4.1.0 supplied with 8.1 works out of the box. At this time, the ATI Radeon 8500 isn't supported but the 7500 is. I like it, actually. I play Heretic II, Terminus, Quake, Half-Life (via wine) without problem. As for NVidia, I don't trust them. They are in close cahoots with M$ via the Xbox and since they don't release specs for developers - if they decide (perhaps as a favor to M$?) to end support for linux then future NVidia cards would be nonstarters.

[expert] Mandrake 8.2 Beta
Hi everyone, I see that LM 8.2 Beta is out, and I was just wondering if anyone here knows if the final release will be delayed long enough for KDE 3.0 to be included? It seems ashame for a new release to come out without this new, binary incompatible version of KDE... Thanks, Tim -- Timothy R.

That is likely why your attempt got kinda hosed. OK, but it would have been nice if there were some kind of warning to that effect. MandrakeUpdate offers the option of security updates and included the kernel in the list of available updates. In MandrakeUpdate there is another tab... I believe it's called Details which gives the details of the security update for the selected package (ie. what's wrong, etc.). If you look at this tab on the kernel update, there should be a big warning not to use MU to do it and to look at the web advisory. I agree that it's not too intuitive and I would prefer MU to list kernels but when trying to install it report the warning and tell the user to do it manually. Unfortunately, I'm not the MU developer and can't force that kind of change that other developers disagree with.

Hi Mike, KDE 3.0 is in RC1, and I can't imagine rushing a distro to market not waiting for it. That's what I was thinking. I remember when KDE 2.0 came out it was so much nicer once I got a version of my then current distro (SuSE) that came with KDE 2 rather than having my manual upgrades to KDE 2.0 installed (since numerous applications didn't work right, and things weren't as nice and optimized, IMO). It would be ashame that we would have to wait for MDK 8.3 in September (or somewhere around there), to finally get KDE 3.0 installed with Mandrake 8.3...

Re: [expert] renaming large number of files.
So sprach »J.

I think there are better ways to do this using a bash script and mv, i am sure others have done this already. Well, I don't use rename, so I'd suggest to have a look at my example with the regexp again. But in the case of pic1, pic2 - pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg it's even simpler: for f in *; do mv $f $f.jpg done You can type this exactly like above on the shell prompt.
