 Hello,

 I just found out why my xhosts haven't worked since 9.1.
 It looks like X is set by default to '-nolisten' and with the amount
 of searching I did, I couldn't find where this option is set on
 starting Xserver.

 If someone could point me to the correct place?

grep -R nolisten /etc/* should list all the config files with that 
set.

However, msec (man msec, mseclib) may rewrite any manual changes you 
make. If that's the case, you'll have to create a 
/etc/security/msec/level.local file with allow_x_connections and 
allow_xserver_to_listen set to your liking. See 
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php for a useful, if dated, 
HOWTO.

HTH,

PS - Also look at Mandrake Control Center. There's some sort of msec gui 
there. It didn't work very well last I looked, but that was a while 
ago.

 I tried urpme autoconf and then urpmi autoconf, but I end up

You don't say what version of Mandrake you're running, so I'll assume 
9.1. 

On the CDs, you should find two versions of autoconf: 
autoconf-2.13-16mdk.noarch.rpm and autoconf2.5-2.57-3mdk.noarch.rpm. 
Install both and let the apps you're building decide which one they 
want. If you need to force the use of 2.5, set the environment variable 
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 to 1.

If you're running an earlier version of Mandrake, both versions are 
available but they're not designed to coexist. You have to switch 
between versions by uninstalling one and installing the new one. I 
assume 9.2 is pretty much the same as 9.1.

HTH,

PS - There's a very similar situation with automake.

You might check for packages that weren't installed, probably due to 
package splitting. I'd start with kdeaddons*. The option is present on 
my system (latest cooker KDE, rebuilt from SRPM for 9.1). I use it 
enough that I'm confident I'd have noticed its absence on previous

 That is not the case with Mandrake-9.1, is it hidden somewhere else

I believe it was part of the kdeaddons package in 9.1. Also check for

[expert] Problem rebuilding OpenOffice.org-1.1rc4.1mdk.src.rpm for 9.1

2003-09-16 Thread AAW
I'm trying to rebuild (rpm --rebuild) the latest OOo SRPM from cooker 
for LM9.1, but it always fails at the same point (see below). The 1.0.x 
SPRMs always rebuilt without any problem. gcc-java-3.2.2-3mdk, 
gcj-tools-3.2.2-3mdk,libgcj3-3.2.2-3mdk, and libgcj3-devel-3.2.2-3mdk 
are installed. I've tried it with and without Sun's java installed 
(j2sdk-1.4.2-fcs). The FIXME comment makes it sound like the source 
and/or SPEC file need to be edited, but they've released OOo RPMs for 
cooker so I'm probably just missing something.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

[expert] Problem installing NVIDIA drivers in kernel-secure-2.4.21-0.25mdk (only)

2003-08-04 Thread AAW
I've had no trouble installing NVIDIA drivers on kernels 2.4.21-0.13 
(up), 2.4.21-0.18 (up, secure), 2.4.21-0.24 (up, secure), 2.4.21-0.25 
(up). You get a message about tainting the kernel with a non-GPL 
license, but the drivers install cleanly and work flawlessly. I've used 
versions 1.0-4363 and 1.0-4496, initially installed using NVIDIA's new 
.run package with drivers for subsequent kernels built manually by 
running make clean  make in NVIDIA-Linux-x86-version/usr/src/nv/. 

However, trying to install them on the secure version of 2.4.21-0.25 
always fails (see messages below). It's not a big deal for me since I 
rarely use the secure kernel, but the change in behavior from previous 
secure kernels concerns me. Is this a feature or a bug?

 cc'ing this to Juan just so he can check as well.

I'm seeing the same thing. Below is a copy of my post on aolm.

COPY
Situation:
I upgraded to the latest kernel for LM 9.1, downloaded from
ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux/Mandrake/updates/9.1/RPMS.
After checking gpg and md5 (rpm -K), I installed
kernel-2.4.21.0.24mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm (rpm -iv),
kernel-source-2.4.21-0.24mdk.i586.rpm (rpm -iv --oldpackage) and
freshened kernel-doc-2.4.21-0.24mdk.i586.rpm (rpm -Fv). I then
rebooted and made the NVIDIA drivers for the new kernel. Everything
seemed to work as expected. My system is LM 9.1 with all updates plus a
few packages rebuilt from cooker SRPMs (mainly autoconf, automake,
XFree86, and KDE). The updated kernel is the only change I made in the
last 24 hours.

Problem:
All new files are now created with 0666 (rw-rw-rw-) permissions. Umask
for user and root are correctly set (0077 and 0022 respectively) but
are ignored. Directories are created with the correct permissions. When
I reboot with the old kernel (2.4.21-0.18mdk) everything works as it
should.

Could someone who's upgraded to the latest kernel please check for this
behavior. World-writable root-owned files is a serious security hole.
/COPY

I've had one confirmation so far. I'm also seeing the problem Dave 
reported with msec. I'm currently running /etc/cron.daily/msec under 
kernel-2.4.21-0.18mdk to see whether it is indeed the kernel. I'll post 
the results under that thread when it completes.

  Nothing has been changed in that file.  This only showed up with

 Ummm... let's be a little logical here.

 Why would you blame the kernel for something in msec?  The kernel
 touches /boot and /lib/modules... why would it have anything to do
 with msec?

 Did you look at line 66 of that file?  What does it say?

 The previous issue could potentially be attributed to the kernel, but
 I highly doubt it.  This one I think attributing to the kernel is
 pretty far-fetched.

I'm now seeing similar behavior under both the old and new kernels. 
However, I never saw the behavior before installing 0.24mdk.

Below is a list of the packages installed since the last clean admin 
report 07-22-2003 at 10:11:34 am. The arts packages are rebuilt from 
cooker SRPMs. I also rebuilt and installed kdelibs (29mdk), but that 
was after problem showed up.

 Assuming I understand your question correctly, I'm using ReiserFS for
 all filesystems except /boot, which is ext2.

Precisely the same set up: reiserfs for /, /home; ext2 for /boot.

Re: [expert] lm_sensors oddity

 On Mandrake 9.1, with lm_sensors-2.7.0-2mdk, I have run
 sensors-detect and accepted the default settings.  The oddity is that
 the sensors command, or gkrellm, or ksensors only show the value (at
 least for temps, which is obvious) that exists at boot time.  In
 other words, first boot on a cool morning will show a relatively low
 temp that does not change throughout the session.  Subsequent boots
 will show a, logically, warmer temp that, also, does not vary.  This
 has been the case from the stock kernel through the current
 2.4.21-0.18mm-mdk.  I've just noticed the following message in syslog
 and wonder if it suggests some clue to anyone?

Check out /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-2.7.0/doc/FAQ, #4.11. I haven't 
messed with lm_sensors for a while, but can't you use the ISA bus for 
some chips? I think the option is mentioned during the sensors-detect 
routine.

Good Luck,

Must be the server. Aside from cooker changelog notices, yours is the 
first post I've seen in this list or in the cooker list since 7-11.
