Thats not the main point. Just wanted to say that wikis in other languages 
will not be a copy of the english one. And the prefix solution is not that 
optimal since a f.i. german speaker will only see sporadic german sites. This 
would make finding solutions very difficult. 

   its more to have the german
  wiki on the same place like the Community wiki. Translating intertesting
  topics into german or vice versa can be made but syncing is not good I
  think. It is more to compile knowledge out of the mailiglist and make
  contribution for not english speaking people possible. To make it short:
  I would prefer the German/WebHome-way. Would be great if you would
  setup this Vincent.

 I hope I was understood when I mentioned cross posting.  Not 2 sites in
 Sync but rather where it's applicable, a link that references the
 other.  My thought being that if someone could only write his
 contribution in English or German, a link + babelfish would still make
 it usable for the other. (I couldn't count the number of times I've used
 French, Japanese or German sites just this way.) Heck sometimes I don't
 even bother with babelfish since code is code.

If I would have a wish for free I would like a lot the translation feature of 
the club. It is very handy and allows easy translation of posts. The only 
multilanguage support I found on the twiki-web is the translate-keywords 
plugin. In wikipedia phase III you put a special keyword at the bottom of the 
page and have then a link at the upper left corner like 
[francais|espanol|deutsch] depending on the languages that wiki-page is 
translated 
(Have a look here: http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Mandrake). 
But the last option is not optimal. If a translation is done and a change in 
the mainpage is done the translator should be notified, maybe the other way 
round would be usefull too. Furter it is more handy like in the club, if the 
content that will be translated will be filled in in the page to translate. 
This way all markup can be taken from the original and just the text be 
translated. A babelfish button for untranslated pages would indeed be nice 
too.

How much would it cost ?

Thx for our Input.

[expert] Updated 18mdk update kernel...

2003-06-12 Thread Thomas Backlund
Since the official MDK 9.1 update kernel still lacks some features,
I decided to add some of them myself with the following changes:

- Keep version/release to not breake 3:rd party modules / addons...
- My latest vesafb patch that you can find in 2.4.21-rc7-ac1

- nForce2 UDMA/133 reporting (but I dont program above UDMA100 for now)
- Updated pci.ids to help in bugtracking...

- Updates to Firewire (ieee1394) revision 925, including nForce2 support
- Updated Adaptec scsi aic7xxx, added 79xx (U320 cards) support

- ACL support for XFS filesystem

And since I haven't enough homepage space, I just provide the
standard kernel precompiled. If you need any other,
grab the src.rpm and rebuild the ones you need...

And all this is found at:

IF you are on 9.1 ... if you are on say 9.0 then that
is the reason it's complaining about the signature.

I believe you will find that certain contrib packages are not signed and 
you will have to install without a signature, if you want the package. 
When rpm reports a missing key, such as when you verify a package with

rpm -K (package).rpm,

you should be able to search around to find it.  Various contributors 
have their own gpg keys.  There are public keyservers that *might* 
contain the needed key or you could

rpm -qp --changelog (package).rpm

to see who contributed the package and search on the cooker archives for 
clues to the sources of that key.  For instance, Oden Eriksson packages 
chkrootkit.  You can find links to his key and that of Han Boetes, who 
packages abcde, in the following post to cooker:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg106798.html

You can wget the file and

gpg --import (file)

as root.  I don't have problems doing this from a su root commandline 
but YMMV.  See man gpg.

Remove the supplied wine and either spend a little and get the very good (for 
gaming) WineX rpm from Transgaming (or you can freely download the source and 
build it yourself, but it is a royal PITA).  You could try Codeweaver's Wine 
(for a small fee, me thinks) which is a nice, but slowly updated version.  Or 
you could simply try the latest build of Wine from WineHQ for free.  

StarCraft has long worked well with wine of various stripes.  I personally use 
WineX and am a paying member of the Transgaming community and I know 
first-hand that StarCraft works with it.  As for other games, your success 
with games is probably higher with WineX than any other version since that is 
what Transgaming is entirely focused on in the  wine builds.  In any case, it 
will still be hit-and-miss.  You could go to the Transgaming site and search 
for the game you are interested in and see how it is rated in 
useability/playability or you can simply peruse the entire list. 

You can have two different wines installed as well - WineX uses a binary 
called winex while WineHQ and codeweavers use wine...and I believe they will 
install into different locations so as not to conflict but I am not certain 
on this.

Even though wine is considered alpha, it is quite functional. I use it 
to run the Lotus Notes client, and it works great.

For games, though, you will want to get Transgaming's version of wine, 
called WineX (because it added DirectX and other functional support for 
games). You can get the source to WineX for free, or pay a minimal 
subscription fee (as little as $15 for three months, last time I 
checked) and download an rpm file. It comes with a decent GUI config 
utility, which also allows you to easily install and uninstall your 
Windows programs.

If you want non-alpha software for running Windows applications and you are

If you're looking for a more polished version of wine for gaming and are

If what you want is a more polished version of wine for MS Office

Lastly, if you want to try your hand at the latest version of (yes, alpha)

Wine is Alpha software so your success rate for running Windows applications
will be hit or miss. By your post, it looks like you're interested in
gaming. That being the case, I would recommend the Transgaming option. It's
good software by a decent company at a reasonable price. It will probably be
your only option for getting WarCraft to work.

StarCraft on the other hand will work with the free version of wine - and
has for a long time. One caveat is battle.net which still has some font
rendering problems at last check.

Hi,

actually, I've managed to get starcraft running using the pre-built free

It's always the latest CVS of the free version of wine (the one that is
included with MDK actually).

What's even nicer, I don't even need an existing windows installation...
I just followed the instructions (quite easy) to setup a fake windows
root, and starcraft works fine (although battle.net has problems, and
broodwar does't work either).

It's very stable, and I haven't run into a single problem wrt starcraft
yet...

 For those interested, there's a brand new Con Kolivas -ck1 patch against
 kernel 2.4.21-rc7. I just tried it on Mandrake 9.1, and so far so good,
 except no supermount (if one cares).

 I just applied the 2.4.21-rc7 patch to 2.4.20 source (did mrproper first),
 then applied the ck1 patch, and then did make xconfig. I loaded the stock
 Mandrake 9.1 2.4.21-pre .config file, then I selected for my cpu (athlon),
 said no to some various hardware devices and options I never use or have.
 (wound up with a 1.1MB kernel image)

 Then did the usual:

 make dep
 make clean
 make bzImage
 make modules

 su to root, and:
 make modules_install
 make install

 Then I checked /boot and /etc/lilo.conf just to make sure all was correct.

 In my case, I removed the old 2.4.20-ck7 kernel and 2.4.20-ck7
/lib/modules,
 and lilo entries. Ran lilo again to finish up, and rebooted,

 Booted fine, and I'm now using the new patched preemptive kernel from Con
 Kolivas. Seems really responsive.

[expert] Change default editor.

2003-06-12 Thread Christian Dysthe
Hi,

I would like to globally change the default editor in Mandrake 9.1 (vim I
think) to another one. How can that be done? I have been looking around and
been asking on IRC, but I am not able to make it work. To be clear: I
*never* want vim to open any file. I want another editor to simply replace
vim by default. 

Please do not try to convince me to use vi/vim. I do not want to take part
in that discussion again... :)

TIA for help and/or pointers.

The other possibility is that is has a bad sig.  Let me test it out here
and see what I get.  Can't hurt.

Ok,

   I checked it and you are right.  My mirror ftp.club-internet.fr has
the same problem...  


   Vincent, if you are reading this I guess this kind of thing is in
your ballpark.  I checked two additional mirrors (mandrake.secsup.org
and slug.usc.edu  and got the same results.)  I don't have my disks
handy to check them out and see if it is the same on the disk set, but
it definitely is bad on the mirrors I've been to.

  Odds on it's a bad sig on the package, but to be on the safe side I'd
say to grab the source and build out from there.  To be consistent with
MDK and to get a working version the way you want (avoiding any chance
of a highjack.) do this one.  Download the src rpm  then do rpm -Uvh
chkrootkit-xx.src.rpm.  Also download the real src tarball  Replace
the one in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES with the one you downloaded (make sure
that it's bzip not gz or the other way around if needed, then
cd ../SPECS.  If you then do rpm -ba chkrootkit.spec (or whatever the
spec name is.) you will rebuild an rpm for yourself that you know is
from clean source and has all the proper MDK hooks.   Frankly I'd just
build from source as normal with the --prefix=/usr when running
configure and go from there.

   Hi all,
   
   I have recently decided to install the package
   chkrootkit after hearing it can be a useful tool
  with security.  
   However when I do so I receive an error:
   
   The following packaages have bad signatures:
   full path ../chkrootkit-0.39-1mdk.i586.rpm
   
   I have been told I need the keys for the contrib
   packages.  I'm not sure this is accurate.  But I am
   sure that I do not want any errors like this when
   installing chkrootkit (plz dont' tell me to just
   ignore it) Thanks in advance
   
  
  the package gnupg-1.2.2-1.1mdk for 9.1 supplies the
  contrib and main signatures for MDK.  Do a rpm -Uvh
  --force gnupg-1.2.2-1.1mdk.i586.rpm to get it back..
  IF you are on 9.1 ... if you are on say 9.0 then that
  is the reason it's complaining about the signature.
  It's different between any two distro's. Grab the one
  for the distro you are on.

 I believe you will find that certain contrib packages are not signed and 
 you will have to install without a signature, if you want the package. 
 When rpm reports a missing key, such as when you verify a package with
 
 rpm -K (package).rpm,
 
 you should be able to search around to find it.  Various contributors 
 have their own gpg keys.  There are public keyservers that *might* 
 contain the needed key or you could
 
 rpm -qp --changelog (package).rpm
 
 to see who contributed the package and search on the cooker archives for 
 clues to the sources of that key.  For instance, Oden Eriksson packages 
 chkrootkit.  You can find links to his key and that of Han Boetes, who 
 packages abcde, in the following post to cooker:
 http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg106798.html
 
 You can wget the file and
 
 gpg --import (file)
 
 as root.  I don't have problems doing this from a su root commandline 
 but YMMV.  See man gpg.
 
 Rolf

Rolf,

   You're right, but my understanding from Warly during the various beta
and rc cycles was that anything in release contrib is resigned with
MDK's sig before release. (at least there where a lot of people checking
this point for him.) with cooker contrib yes... this is a problem. (and
people are always noting bad sigs there.)  However nothing new gets
added to release contrib does it?  It would seem that updates would go
into update not straight into contrib.  But maybe I'm mistaken.

Many/most contrib rpms Do Not contain the builders signature Only the

These will all install without error.
It is Only the contrib rpms which Have been signed by the builder that
give the sig error during installation.

You have 2 choice you can import the sigs from a key.server for you root

Disregarding the error will in no way compromise security as all contrib

really want.*grin*)  However man hotplug or info hotplug could well be
your friend there is a file in /etc/hotplug called blacklist.  My
understanding is that you can tell hotplug not to react to specific
devices here (in this case it would be the device Linux thinks you have
I believe you said it was a scanner.) then vmware handles it from
there.  Since I don't have much in the way of USB here.

http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/

Is the website for hotplug more info might be there as well.  But my
best opinion on this would be that hotplug would be the key since it
controls how usb devices are handled.

[expert] lilo ?? install 9.1

2003-06-12 Thread richard bown
Hi all

I've had a real bad experience using a hard drive that previously had
winxp on it.
I ran very low on HD space so I took the 60GB HD out of the winxp
machine , installed as hdc and backed up what files I needed off that
drive.
next step was to delete the ntfs partitions and repartition with ext3,
All apparently went well, and I transfered wanted files from hda to hdc.

Checked everything was all right, and all the files moved across were in
a partiton on hdc. 
the next step was to reinstall the system on to the 60GB drive(was hdc),
and to use just 1 HD on this machine.
So fresh install of 9.1 and this is were things went horribly wrong,
on boot up no partitions had been written, tried to repair and failed,
tried using the rescue facility ...that failed.

So again another fresh install and this time made a boot floppy as well.
again on reboot failure, so used the rescue facility to rerun the boot
loader, 
Tried another bootup , same again reran the boot sector loader from
rescue and this time the next reboot was successful..
After speaking to a few people I'm not the only person to have had
problems with drives after winxp was installed on them.
I suspect this may be a gates measure to deliberately make it awkward 
to change OS's once winxp has been installed, microsoft have done this
before.

Maybe ,and this is the point I'm trying to make, the developers need to
look at the lilo or grub, to assume the MBR to contain hostile material
and delete it before installing.

If a newbie had decided to kick winxp off their machine and move to
linux, I feel they would give up trying to install linux and go back to
winblows.

Richard

Crossover office is a little unstable on mandrake 9.1, and the

actions perform quite well though). However, the performance beats the
pants off of running the same applications in Win2K on VMware.

  Yes, I paid for it, but it was (and is) worth every cent.

 understanding is that you can tell hotplug not to react to specific

 I believe you said it was a scanner.) then vmware handles it from
 there.  Since I don't have much in the way of USB here.

 best opinion on this would be that hotplug would be the key since it

Replace joe with your editor of choice.  The reason for putting both

the current sig.

The problem involving signs and Contrib has arisen due to a

Contrib rpms should only be signed If they are being sent to

If the packager has upload access and are committing the rpms

Bascule.. Honestly don't think anyone has come up with a work around for

[expert] S3 Trio 3D and XFree86 4.3

2003-06-12 Thread Brian Schroeder
There was a thread recently about running XFree 4.3 on the S3 Trio 3D, so
I'm hoping one of those people may be able to help me get it working.
I've got 2 boxes I am trying to configure with this chip in, and 2 very 
different
monitors - and both produce the same problems.  I would really like to get
this working because of the things that don't work with the XFree 3.3 driver 
-
including the RENDER extenstion problem.  This is Mandrake 9.1, although
I have seen some of the same problems in 9.0.

In XFdrake, I have selected the XFree 4 S3virge driver, since the XFree86
site says this is the appropriate one.  I then select my monitor, 
resolution,
etc.
Then, when I start X it gives a rather strange result:  The left 2 thirds of 
the
screen is perfect.  The right third is a repeat of part of the left section. 
 The
right third of that third does the same thing - and so on for a few more 
times.

In other words, it isn't really usable.

Using the left 2 thirds of the screen, however, I have demonstrated to my
satisfaction that the problems I experienced with XFree 3 do NOT appear
in XFree 4.  So I would really like to get it working properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Brian.

I brought up some issues here with a particular S3 video card that
refused to work well under Mandrake 9.1 and XFree86 4.3.0. It was rather
lengthy and probably best searched through the archive than repeat it
here. Your welcome to ask me off-line,though.

As for your particular chip/video card, I can tell you that I have it
working just fine under RedHat 9.0 with 4.x.x. (can't remember what the
exact version is, but I believe its 4.3.0) It's a Jaton AGP-71 with 4 MB
RAM using the S3 Trio 3D chip. With an older Dell 17 connected to it,
1024x768x16 bit seems to work at its best. I don't recall if I tried
this card under any version of Mandrake. Some S3 video cards will work
in RedHat that won't work at all or well enough in Mandrake. Most would
tell you that your better off replacing the card.

Do you have a win2k box on your network?  Why I'm asking is that I had a

shutdown a win2k box (actually just pulled the cable) and they stopped. 
Don't know if or how it got fixed (not sure it did) but at least that

the user owns /mnt/gfx  I've had better luck if my users create their
mount directory inside their home directory.

Other thing do shfsmount [EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/uname /mnt/somedir   the

consider yourself ranked.  that command would write the contents of file

is someone else working on it?

has someone else given up because it wasn't feasible?

mine's a 318, pretty close. On the camera you set this PC access mode
that tells it to be a disk drive, then turn it off, plug it in, turn it
back on, and you should be able to mount /mnt/camera. If Mandrake didn't
auto-detect, then try mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera

Re: [expert] Gnome and Nautilus configuration

 I am constantly stumbling against GNOME themes configuration. I am trying
 to
 add a new icon theme (Conectiva Crystal, included with Mandrake 9.1) to
 Gnome,
 but I can't find the way to do it... I tried dragging it from Nautilus to
 the
 theme window, pointing to it in  gconf... I wish GNOME developers had'nt
 taken
 so much out of the configuration dept.
 Anyway, is there some explanation on how to do it for drake 9.1? The
 instructions on art.gnome.org don't seem to work for me.
 TIA


you can try to put the theme in themes path , /usr/share/themes/
after you can see this on the config theme windowd of gnome


i hope this help you

Yeah, but cdrom.img is only 1.4Mb in size, hardly enough to do much damage.

overall.

It's in cooker, but won't install easily on my server because of a
bazillion Perl dependency issues.

 
 has someone else given up because it wasn't feasible?

Dunno about not feasible, but not easy. I started whacking at it with
the Mandrake RPM Howto and chose the modify 2.44's spec file path. On
the server, bad things happen because I can't even get sitelib:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jack]$ perl -V:sitelib
Can't locate Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

ew... this is the result of too many upgrades, some CPAN installations,
generally some ickiness that can get fixed at some other time. Tonight,
let's try building RPMs on the laptop. Seems much better, we zip along
nicely until:

Finding  Requires: /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires
/home/jack/rpm/tmp/spamassassin-2.55-root i586
Using BuildRoot: /home/jack/rpm/tmp/spamassassin-2.55-root to search
libs
PreReq: rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
Requires: perl-HTML-Parser perl-base = 2:5.8.0 perl-base

now that's kinda funny looking. So I poked around to figure out how
that's gotten, and this is real funny:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jack]$ rpm -q --requires perl-HTML-Parser
perl  
perl-HTML-Tagset = 3.03
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
ld-linux.so.2  
libc.so.6  
perl-base = 2:5.8.0
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)  

Am I being dense, or is this asking for a perl-base greater than or
equal to version 2:5.8.0? As in the 2: is throwing a monkeywrench into
the works? My perl-base is perl-base-5.8.0-19mdk.

Joerg is using an Asus A7N8X mobo. He had no major probs getting it running. I beleive
