Re: [Mageia-dev] Dutch tax program dependencies
On Wed, 6 Mar 2013 00:50:08 +0100, Reinout van Schouwen wrote about [Mageia-dev] Dutch tax program dependencies: Hi all, The Dutch tax service makes life difficult for (64-bit) Mageia users because the tax filing program expects the i586 versions of libxext6 and libsm6 to be around. The tax service claim on their web site that Ubuntu 12.x and Linux Mint 13 are supported. Could it be that they have these libraries preinstalled on 64 bit platforms? Would it be possible to provide some kind of stub package that downloads the program with the required dependencies, like Arch does? ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/belastingdienst-ib2012/ ) Download this list and install and you are set to go libice6-1.0.8-3.mga3.i586.rpm libsm6-1.2.1-4.mga3.i586.rpm libuuid1-2.22.2-3.mga3.i586.rpm libx11_6-1.5.0-4.mga3.i586.rpm libxau6-1.0.7-2.mga3.i586.rpm libxcb1-1.9-2.mga3.i586.rpm libxdmcp6-1.1.1-3.mga3.i586.rpm libxext6-1.3.1-2.mga3.i586.rpm HTH =Dick Gevers=

It's not needed if you have systemd-sysvinit installed, but by the same token, if you already have it in your menu.lst then the bootloader code will simply preserve it when adding a new kernel. It's dumb code (in a nice way!) so it's not specifically caring that it's an init= argument or that it's anything to do with systemd. So if you want cleaner boot command lines, just tidy up your menu.lst manually and they will no longer be added to new kernels. Hope that makes sense.

I have upstream Seamonkey, and I've never seen such a message. But
although I post to bugs regularly, I haven't opened a new Mageia bug
lately. However, I do have other persistant problems with Seamonkey, which
I suspect are due to some corruption in my personal profile. So maybe
that is the cause of your problems ?
(My problems started after I killed Seamonkey during one of those famous
freezes with 100% cpu usage that randomly affects various applications ...
as reported on this and the -discuss lists from time to time.)
If you try Firefox without problems, then it is most likely some personal
profile corruption, since it has essentially identical code as the browser
side of Iceape.
You could try deleting the *.mfasl files in your profile folder (probably
~/.mozilla/iceape/*.{profile_name}/)
They will be regenerated automatically. (They just accelerate startup if
present.)
Thanks for your answer. Sorry for my slow reaction, but I don't have a
chance every day to report a bug. I did 2 with firefox without problem and
next one with Iceape after removing XUL.mfasl, but it made no difference:
problem as before. I'm not anxious do delete my whole profile so I'll
probably start using FF for accessing Mageia Bugzilla and Iceape otherwise,
because in other respects it works great always.

On Sat, 17 Sep 2011 11:16:57 +0100, Colin Guthrie wrote about Re: [Mageia-dev] systemd vs dm: Well that's slightly disturbing. It seems that rsyslog was started but not by systemd. Can do do some kind of pstree type analysis (perhaps also using cgroups stuff) to work out what process actually started rsyslog? pstree is not quite unequivocal, because it shows systemd at the top of every running process, even those surely not started by systemd but e.g. by the current user. But on the other hand systemd has PID 1 so it's reasonable to assume everything stems from it. Although when I do lsof |grep rsys |grep syst it returns nothing, so perhaps that means rsyslog was not started by systemd: we'd have to compare with a system where systemctl status rsyslog.service gives a better result. lsof |grep cgrou returns only one line: systemd 1 root6r DIR 0,18 0193 /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/system I hope this gives some clues.

However, Cooker has a different rpm for a while and I have that installed. I'm guessing if I attempt to switch to Cauldron, it likely cannot read the rpm5 database. I can only think of a few things: My experience: not bad, but takes a little effort: tarred everything on the machine and newly installed Mageia official, upgraded to cauldron and untarred local machine settings I require. For example shorewall, aliases, urpmi's skiplist, rkhunter.conf, logrotate specific settings, /usr/local and anything else privately configured. Merely kept my home and formatted everything else.

Currently our flash-player-plugin pkg is only built on 32-bit, as the 64-bit adobe build is still horribly out of date. However, this is problematic for 64-bit users, as installing the 32-bit flash-player-plugin is cumbersome as nonfree32 media is not added on 64-bit (and adding it would not be very nice, as the media list is already way too cluttered). One option would be to build a x86_64 package that actually contains the 32-bit flash player (and note that in description), with a dependency on nspluginwrapper. When a proper 64-bit build is released by adobe, it would be replaced with the 64-bit player. Do you think this should be done, or would it add too much confusion? I'd love to see that. But the nspluginwrapper also brings in a large number of 32 bit packages! If you can manage it, I shall quite appreciate it. Cheers, =Dick Gevers=

I have given the reason at the top of the translation page: quote Please note it is not possible to finish the (proofreading) of the translation due to the comments. These comments serve no purpose because 1) the original French seems already adopted (If not they should be written against the original). 2) the commenting inside the translation has no impact whatsoever on the original French unquote Most -or all - of the comments seem to be from 'Lebarhon'.

Ie, _I_, as a user or coder, do not pay anything to have the right to distribute, use, copy the software and documentation for any purpose. Moreover any purpose seems to me rather clear, and for me, that also mean also sell it. I know zero about licensing, but I dare to say I understand the English language reasonably well and I claim - with all respect - that this interpretation is wrong, because: The quote says you have permission ... to distribute ... without fee, so selling (giving it in exchange for value) is exactly the opposite. In other words, selling in this context can also be destribed as: distributing for a fee. The meaning of purpose in your quote means 'what the recipient is going to do with it while (s)he has it', for example: * look at it * frame it * store it for reference * put it to work in a machine * copy it for future redistribution * burn it * bury it * show its content within a wiki etcetera.

Some secure systems have been seen compromised ( like http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/rogue-ca/, who explain how the whole SSL business was compromised 2 years ago, or see the GSM being cracked at this year 27C3 ). And Debian also got ride of older vulnerable gpg keys ( see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/04/msg00018.html and http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/09/msg3.html ), so I would not be so optimistic about the never. Technically, MD5 should not have been reversible, but see how easy it is using a rainbow table. Granted, that's a 20 year protocol, but that's still widely used in lots of software. Sorry, but I am not convinced: the gpg key we are talking about consists of 2 parts: the private key is separate from the public key, or signing key. The signing key is a separate or subkey and does not contain any part of the private key. So you can throw any amount of computing power at it, but there is nothing inside the public key that will enable the rebuilding of the private key from it. Ciao, =Dick Gevers=

I do that every year or so with my @home non-production server, amongst others because it doesn't want to read any cd's. Problems are very rare with this cycle: I merely upgrade when I have had a power failure or similar ;) Ciao, =Dick Gevers=
Re: [Mageia-dev] What do you think about create a Mageia Welcome Center?

Think that user starts up your computer and sees a window with text: Good morning/afternon/night username!. And in another line, You have 3 new e-mails. And on side, tue current weather and, below, a list of user compromises for that day, all together the hardware information and shortcuts for common tasks and diagnostic tests of hardware and software, and a warning that package updates are available! - yes, I had all these new ideas now! Well, YMMV, but that is precisely the kind of computer I want to have only as far away from me as possible: I want to be in control, I have enough emotions at work, at home, in transport and in recreation - I want my boxen to be tools without *any* emotion or interest in me, just let them do for me what I choose to imagine as far as they can. No more no less. Also, it does not have to approach the looks of a mobile phone. Anyway, I'll see what Mageia gives when it is there. So far she remains my best choice still. (Compare my headers ;) Ciao, =Dick Gevers=

Please: no. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if I started up my computer and saw this, I'd think I'd bought a tool for children instead of an adult operated personal computer. /Ducking for flame throwers. I regret that I do not very much like the idea. But if everyone on this list wants it: okay.
