[newbie] Rpmdrake bug and question re running 10.1 cooker
Well, as it turns out my botched KDE (and other updates) was due to that rpmdrake bug (Bugzilla 9411) ... packages were downloading but not installing, and remaining in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms. The bad news is that it threw my system into a state of disarray for awhile (particularly if, like me, you use KDE 99% of the time :-) and required some "manual labor" to get things back to normal. The good news is two-fold: (1) that it gave me an opportunity to find, download and apply a patch from Bugzilla (which //did// fix the problem, and left me feeling warm, fuzzy and accomplished all over), and (2) that it required some work to get things going again this morning but I //could// get them going -- something I doubt would have been possible on the Windows side of things without major hassles and/or reinstall. So, here's my question ... I am, by default, now running cooker 10.1 because of the updates from last night (the communication surrounding the mirrors, directory structures and update procedures being the subject of a different thread, not this one ). Given that I know cooker is the "bleeding edge" and not for a production machine (this one isn't), would it now make sense for me to simply remain with cooker, at least for awhile? If I were to do so, would I be able to continue updating using the cooker mirrors as I've been doing these past weeks with the 10CE updates, or would it require a different procedure(s) as 10.1 continues to diverge from 10.0, and onward? (I've seen mention of mirroring the directory structure, etc., locally, I think, and don't quite understand that concept, nor am I sure I would be able to do so.) For those more-than-newbies who have experience with running previous cooker versions, //how// volatile is it, i.e., are problems which occur generally annoyances from which one may recover after another update cycle or two, or are they more-critical show-stoppers which would render one's system useless and force a reinstall? If I //weren't// to stay on the cooker path, should I now expect problems with my "slightly cooker" current install (with its 10.1 designation) with respect to trying to stay current with 10.0 updates (I suspect so?), or am I pretty much stuck with the system as is until 10.1 comes out and/or I do a reinstall, or ...? Hope you get the gist of what I'm asking, probably in a more or less bass ackwards way here ... I think I have a grasp of //some// of the concepts and structures involved here, but not all, certainly, so I need clarification up the proverbial wazoo before I'm comfortable with a particular course of action.

[newbie] Decent Audio Track Ripper?
Does anyone know of a decent track ripper/encoder for ripping tracks off CDs? I've used Kaudiocreator, but I was listening today, and I just happened to notice that the sound quality is about equal to that of crap. Right, so anyway, I may sound a bit nitpicky, but it sounds like someone dropped my computer from a third story window a few times. Oh also, I'm sure it's the track ripping, because anything I get off apollon plays fine. --Marc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] 10CE Updates -- Broken?
Hi all! I know that this has been gone over but I can't find the threads right now. As I recall there is something transit right now with updates to 10CE. The graphical sources manager keeps retrieving either empty lists or seriously broken ones. And all appear to be development sources, even if they say stable. So, it appears that I'm still getting cooker lists. :-) At the risk of seeming thick..where are the updates? :-) (This really shouldn't be happening. For 10.1 and on the sources need to be moved as quickly as possible and the graphical sources manager should stop retrieving cooker lists.)

This is a public mirror system and it is up to the owner of the mirror to make sure it gets updated properly. Mandrake has reorganized it's primary mirror and cannot control what everybody else is doing. As for timing, the time of now is probably the best there is. Knowing it was going to take some time topropgate the changes to the mirrors, the timing between 10.0 being sent to manufacturer and the release of the boxed sets is probably the best time. Any sooner and beta testing would have been disrupted and any later and the update wouldn't have been in place for the release of the boxes (which would have really been criticized, oh you don't think so?) You just have to manually check the mirrors until you find one that has been updated to the new structure.

hey thanks for the link, I can't believe how impatient we are (me
included).
but it would have been better if Mandrake made some form of formal
announcement in a flash newsletter and on the club website.
10 Community was overall a great experience and I think its a good idea,
but there was a big problem in communicating what exactly it is about
and how it will be implemented.
cheers,
Alaa

[newbie] Kernel compiling for Driver
Hello everyone, Im wanting to install my drivers for my ATI Radeon 9200SE ive bought recently on my mdk 9.2, and i have downloaded the appropriate rpm, but i need to tailor my Kernel to allow the driver to work. Now messing around with Kernel sounds complicated and i was wondering if it is actually doable by someone like me with little Linux knowledge. Would i be able to do it following instructions? Would it take too long? The error is documented here: http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4475.html Thanks in advance. -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Burning cd with k3b
Hello, Is there a help file for the K3b? I checked on k3b website and nothing. In the help menu from K3b I have nothing...no handbook. In fact I try to copy an audio cd on a dvd/rw combo driver and I don't really know what to do. I wanted first to copy the files to a music directory on my computer and then burn from there the cd. In fact I can not see the MP3 files in Konqueror... Strange but I can play the files in Kaffeine for example. I put an other cd with MP3 files in the driver and I can see them in Konqueror... :-( By the way is there a solution to burn strait from the original cd to a new cd without making a manual copy to my HD?

Does anyone know if this is the case? Have those of us who upgraded from devel/stable last night now moved to cooker, or are we still on the (maybe) evolving CE? If I read correctly, Mandrake is planning a rock solid Official 10 release, a continually evolving 10(.x?) CE release with major and minor stable updates moved over from cooker, and a bleeding-edge cooker (10.1?) release. Am I even close to understanding this correctly?

Most times I run this alias (as root) before logging out alias upall='rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus -n && ldconfig' So far nobody's reported (cooker list) KDE failure. I found I needed to use several cooker mirrors simultaneously to get all the required Gnome update files.

I'm assuming you're talking about shoutcast (or similar mp3 based) streams? In XMMS: Options->preferences then in the input plugins box select "MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Player 1.2.8 [libmpg123.so]" then click configure. In the box that comes up select the "streaming" tab. At the bottom of the tab there is a section titled "SHOUT/Icecast". This is where you want to select the "Enable title streaming" option. The reason this is disabled by default is because of a bug where there would be disruptions to the audio playback. As I remember it some sort of popping/hissing? Anyway I think that bug was fixed a while back. Works for me... Let us know how you get on, A. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
