The latest example is /usr/bin/update-menus. In install mode, it searches files in packages that you can install, thus of course this won't find the owner of installed file /usr/bin/update-menus.

The same command on my main.cf gives mynetworks of 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24, my.fixed.IP.address, whether or not mynetworks is commented out. The difference appears to be inet_interfaces, which is set to localhost in the rpmnew file, but is commented out (and therefore = all) in my actual main.cf. Maybe an older configuration, I don't know. I certainly haven't changed it in a long time - I didn't even think about this setting. Would it work as a mail server sending and receiving mail for a local network if inet_interfaces were set to localhost? IMHO the safer rule of thumb is to put your modifications to main.cf at the end of the file, and when you upgrade it, use the .rpmnew file as a base, and copy your modifications at the end.

I'd say it's nice. However, why is it using subnet by default? Maybe Wietse/others have good reasons for it? I'd prefer they back the change on their side - also, it's better for us to change only the lowest possible number of parameters, so that new users are less lost when setting up our package for their needs. Since we are speaking of postfix default setup, it seems that Vietse has strong feelings against chrooting postfix by default. Simon J. Mudd provided a script in his rpms to add/remove the chroot by user request. I personally never had a problem with chroots, but what is the feeling around here? I speak as maintainer of postfix - however it's public knowledge that I don't know so much postfix after all :/. I'd say that chrooting is good for security, and it's generally a good option.

Also, with the HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8522B, 9.2rc2 worked nice (it's then -probable- 9.2 will work nice). For the moment, it seems it's related to LG CRD-84xx drives. Please, every people with an LG model who already installed 9.2 (download or powerpack), please report the model of your LG drive, and whether it's still alive or not :). Please ask that also to your friends who don't read cooker/expert lists. Also, in the following days, one might consider not installing 9.2 with LG drives, until we can provide a workaround to the problem. You can have exact model name of your cdrom by looking at the corresponding proc file. For example, if your CDROM is the first IDE medium of your second IDE adapter, its name is hdc and you can do the following to see the model: cat /proc/ide/hdc/model You can even do that at the very beginning of the graphical install, by going to the second console (Ctrl Alt F2) and typing the previous command. This should be safe as the fry always occurs at the beginning of the package installation. Then, reboot your computer. Thanks!

Re: [Cooker] !! 9.2 issues -- help
Adrian Rodriguez [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi I just installed 9.2 and I have a few problems. This is not a 9.2 support list. 1. I have a Logitech Quickcam for notebooks pro and I've been using it since 9.1. In 9.1 it recognized it and used the pwc module. I had to download the pwcx module to get more FPS out if it and get gnomemeeting to work so I tried to plug it in right now into 9.2 --- complete crash :( It says its loading the pwc module then the snd-usb-audio module b/c of the built in microphone but after that my laptop freezes I can't ssh into to it or anything... :( any ideas on what is going on? or how I might be able to provide more information to mandrake b/c I really do need my webcam working---talk to family and friends :-P You should read the erratas. Your problem is described and there is even a workaround available. However, this is still in Wiki errata, which has only a small link at the end of the official errata page, so you might have missed it. http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/Mandrake92 About pwcx.o, I've tried myself to insmod it (Philips D740 webcam), it failed because kernel used a different major gcc version. One needs to hope that the happy owner of the proprietary code might consider recompiling it. Could not find an email address on pwcx.o official website though. 2. I'm not sure why this happened but I did a very minimal install the first time and then I installed loads of rpms once the system was running. Prior to installing the rpms I still had mandrake menus. After that my system menu changed to something containing Applications Development etc... only like 4 or 5 folders in the menu with hardly anything in them. It maybe had about 1 application or 2 per folder. Nothing crazy... I just loaded up menudrake and took care of it but that might be something to look at. One needs to relaunch update-menus as root when that happens. There is a problem when rpm %post scripts call it, it seems. Fred, do we address this problem with an errata or something? -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

I tried the expert install, with an additional disk (as described in the README in the images directory for SCSI drivers) ; I formatted an ext2fs disk and copied the unzipped xirc2ps_cs.o file on it. Unfortunately, when I try to load the xirc2ps_cs.o when prompted for, it failed and I get lots of undefined symbol in ALT+F3 console (printk, strstr). You need to use xirc2ps_cs.o from the BOOT kernel, right, not stock kernel, of course. But, there are CS controller and cards initialization issues that make it fail when you try to insmod card modules by hand - at least it happened to me, don't know if it's typical/common/anything. I guess the problem might be caused by the fact that I extracted the xirc2ps_cs.o module from kernel-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm and not from kernel-BOOT-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm, because the xircom module is not Yes. present in the later one.

You might also want to have a look at leaves packages (packages that are not required by any other ones), there are things to remove from them, especially the ones that match /^lib/.

Re: [Cooker] LM9.2: What a nice release!
Frederic Soulier [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi I just wanted to tell you guys at Mandrake and all the contributors that you produced a very nice release indeed! thx :) [...] Minor ennoyances (using Powerpack Edition): - during the installation, the windows for the individual package selection were unusually small (I had to use the right-left scrolling to see anything) This was not happening in RC2. - during the summary, same pbm. This was not happening in RC2. - during the services activation/deactivation, same pbm This was not happening in RC2. Arnaud de Lorbeau also had this one time I think. But this happened too late and few for us to be able to reproduce/fix. - during the disk partitioning (custom partitioning) the external USB storage was recognized as sda1, the firewire drives were recognized as sdb1, sdb2 and sdc1 Trying to assign mount points like /mnt/multimedia, the installer tried to mount /mnt/mnt/multimedia during installation, which should be normal, since normal system lives in the /mnt prefix. I reported the pbm in bugzilla for beta2 I believe. sdb1 was indicated as being FAT32 when it's EXT3... ouch. pixel could make use of /root/drakx/report.bug.gz maybe. After changing the mount point to something the installer would accept the rest of the installation was pretty straight forward (except for the small windows pbm). - upon reboot the external devices caused some troubles as they could not be mounted and I was presented with the fsck option or Ctrl-D (kind of going circles here). This may be due to the fact that during the boot up sequence the firewire modules seem to be activated after the mounting sequence. sucks :(. that need a workaround or a fix in the initscripts :/. The only solution was to somehow find a way to edit the fstab to remove the definitions for these drives... or substiture defaults by noauto so they are not automatically mounted at boot time. [...] The good: - well, thanks to urpmi, contrib and plf pretty much everything is setup and working well, audio, mp3, dvd playing, opengl (nvidia drivers), games (CivCTP, quake3, RTCW, Neverwinter Nights ** those are not available through urpmi, go buy them!), VMWare, *which* games??? :) -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

Re: [Cooker] [Mandrake 10] Ideas for RpmDrake [long]
Something along the lines of All packages, by Group in RpmDrake. However, those categories are horrible. Why don't we just use the same categorization as used in menus? That would be very intuitive for the user. I I don't know. Between 7.0 and 7.1 times we decided for the Menu and Rpm-Groups new architecture, which is a bit different, I don't know why because I didn't decided for them. Warly maybe you remember? - Much, much more meta-information Given the above observations, these are the least that should be added to present RPM meta-info: * a nice name * a category under the new categorization * an icon/logo * a screenshot * list of plug-ins and add-ons for use in the pop-up (may be achieved with what-requires?) There would take very much diskspace, especially screenshots! And what about the time needed to do all the screenshots, list plugins.. [...] - Sources and Media mess The term source was simply horrible. The first time I saw it, I thought it had something to do with .src.rpm files. Medium is much better, but it has issues. Mostly because people associate the word media to CDs, DVDs, tapes etc. but not to Internet repositories. The main power of urpmi IMO lies exactly in its Internet capabilities. Therefore I present you my proposal for a new (ugh! not again ;) name for this: channels. We decided for Media on this list around 3 months ago, this was a sort of community decision I'd say, so I think it's counter-productive to change them all again, except of course if everyone on this list would strongly agree with channels instead of media (which I personally don't, but I may be the only one ;p). - Add more sources/media/channels automatically I know that Mandrake will never implement this, but what the hell :) one can dream. The biggest problem with RpmDrake is that sources are still too complicated to configure. Therefore I Olivier Thauvin's easy-urpmi should be integrated in the media configuration tool, when I have time :/ however I'm not very much in favor of pushing newbies to use external packages (at the time cooker was easily addable graphically, so many people broke their system by trying to install programs ugrades). - There should be a clearer distinction between packages coming from different sources. I.e. I should be able to see a package coming from Cooker and the one from CDs and choose one of them as I please. Current rpmdrake architecture can't make use of different media for a single package-version-release :/. [...] Thank you for reading this enormous mail :) I'm not very good at English so sometimes it takes me more words to articulate my point. Anyway I hope there are some useful ideas here.
