Hey gang:
Without (again) opening the debate over the breakup/fragmentation of kde into
the various packages by "Mandrake", I would however like to make a
suggestion.
I am *still* discovering which packages to install to recover functionality
that I had a couple of months ago. To wit;
I since
Actually, this has been mentioned here MANY times, at least the part about
ifplugd shuting down the pcmcia network card after it is up for a minute or
so. It is becoming an old and ignored problem. It has a bugreport at
Mandrake's bugzilla that is several weeks old as well.

can't see much of a *practical" difference
between this and your proposal. The advantage is that you add no additional
software and it *will* work.

More to the point, as of two dayas ago, the deps were screwed up enough that
you could not do an upgrade without doing a no-deps on this (kde et al) and
MANY other packages including samba. I agree this is unacceptable. Instead of
arguing at length, at least get this much working correctly pleas
Been there , done that. As I dimly remember I removed the sources from the
urmpi.cfg file using the appropriate tool (rpmdrake works o.k. for this I
guess), and then added back the source using the urpmi.addmedia command.

I noticed today that the "start menu" (in KDE) has this listing :
Configuration -> Packaging -> Software Medias Manager
Medias is mispeeled. Media is already plural and does not use an "s" at the
end.
Medium is the singular of this word.

This is exactly what went on and was fixed immediately prior to the 9.1
release (and ifstaus -v is unchanged in either condition also).
In my case I am using the pcnet_cs card, so it probably isn't specific to
driver.

Earlier this week, after a urpmi.update -a && urmpi --auto-select --auto, the

All of this discussion points to one thing (IMHO); things are much easier
handled as they are. No additional responsibilities for people to handle, no
additional places to go for information, nothing lost or placed in the wrong
place. i.e. A good example of the K.I.S.S. principal in action.

I think you have a valid point. However, it has been answered before that a
working mkcd between releases is not a priority. In fact it appears to be a
distraction to keep it working. (This last sentence is my interpretation of
what I have read here.)
So, while I agree fully with your sentiment
I *think* the original point was that mkcd wasn't happening for him anymore,
and he wanted to make sure that it got fixed before the next release. I don;t
think was having any issues about running cooker per se. (But I *might*have
missed something.)

Yesterday I was at a client's. I was installing software using the 'drake' gui
tools while they watched. The clients remarked that they were sure glad they
didn't have to install software on linux. They went on to say the they were
use to a much easier install process. They are not stupid. They

What is the procedure to follow to get some attention to an ignored bug ?
i.e. Is there a policy in place when the person assigned to a bug is/has been
"absebt without leave".

Yeah this is a problem on my laptop in that I can no longer get to the
"gettys" - i.e. stuck at terminal no. 7. Some sort of keyboard mapping is
called for I guess? (Off hand impression)

Join the club. MOST of my bug reports over the years have been ignored and/or
not attended to, and I am very careful to not file a duplicate or a silly
one. I investigate the, well before i submit to make sure they are correct
and to the point. I even offer solutions many times.
I think "they"

Hey Josh;
Next time you use bugzilla please note that I have already submitted
essentially this bug report. It should help if people "voted" one only one
such bug rep
Yes, but what/how/where is mandrake using to set this at install ?

support with both kde's and mandrake's control center when I seem to have
lost this capability.

Does anyone know what settings (and where/how to invoke them) to return to the
wonderful keyboard layout that Mandrake has that enables the wonderful US
keyboard that can use the left windows key to bring up the kde "start" menu ?
Bob Finch
As I understand the gcc docs, using both -march and -mcpu is odd. You should
probably be running these tests with just -march or just -mcpu. There may be
some other issues as well, but this is as good a place to start as any.

Perhaps Mandrake can/would compile the whole thing (distro) -mcpu i686 -02
instead of -march ???. That way you can ..."have your cake and eat it too."
