Hi all,
I've just performed a clean Cooker installation. These are the results.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DURING INSTALL PROCESS
1.
I tried to install with a Domex-3191D scsi-controller, which is supported by
latest kernels. But at the beginning of installation it reports:
Device 134a 0001 is "DTC Technology Corp. | Domex 536 (dtc)"
have to insmod dtc
needs dtc
init_module: dtc: No such device
failed
unsetting automatic
I repeat that it's a Domex-3191D and no 536 as reported by installer.
2.
Linuxconf hangs during installation for 7-8 minutes. This time I wrote the
message:
Can/t load module
/usr/lib/linuxconf/redhat.so.1.25.7
cannot open shared object file: cannot load shared object file:
No such file or directory
3.
Entering step "Configure printer" --> "Reading cups driver database"
--> Unable to connect to remote cups server --> EXIT.
4.
Duplicate "proftpd" entry between boot-services.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
POST-INSTALL
1.
During the boot-up process there is a "WARNING: undefined reference to
dl2k.o.gz"
2.
XFCE won't work. It says "Cannot create file" as I log in.
3.
Mustek scanner won't work (it is a ScanExpress 12000 SE Plus):
In "dmesg" I find:
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
ahc_pci:0:14:0: Host Adapter Bios disabled. Using default SCSI device
parameters
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.1.13
<Adaptec 2902/04/10/15/20/30C SCSI adapter>
aic7850: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/255 SCBs
Vendor: SCANNER Model: Rev: V100
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 01 CCS
But...
[root@monster claudio]# scanimage -l
scanimage: no SANE devices found
[root@monster claudio]# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[root@monster claudio]#
[root@monster claudio]# rpm -qa |grep sane
sane-backends-1.0.5-1mdk
libsane1-devel-1.0.5-1mdk
xsane-0.78-1mdk
libsane1-1.0.5-1mdk
xsane-gimp-0.78-1mdk
sane-frontends-1.0.5-1mdk
[root@monster claudio]#
By the way: it perfectly works with sane-1.0.3 of mdk-7.2
SUGGESTIONS:
- gnome-user-docs-xxxxxx should be installed by default with Gnome packages
for it contains some pages linked in Gnome-environment.
- Let's make something nice for KDE fonts once 2.2 is out ;o)
- Some icons in menu entries are just "?" (see office-section in particular)
- Could you include "OpenOffice-6" if it has reached a good development
stage? (I mean: configure it for all users, find it in menu entries, in
mimetypes and so on...)
Anyway, I find actual cooker is really great! =;-))
What a good work...
C.
