Latest rsync from ftp.uninett.no (yes, it's nearly impossible to connect!!!) Mandrake: how about another always-up-to-date rsync mirror like ftp.uninett.no !??!
Anyway, here are the bugs: 1. Diskdrake (during install): if you choose (in "options") to have an encrypted filesystem, it asks for a password that must be at least 20 (!!) characters long. Sure this makes it very secure, but 20 is somewhat over the top - non? 2. Diskdrake (during install): This one i could reproduce - I tried because it seemed a somewhat strange bug. Conditions: Two harddrives (hda & hdd). Convert one of the partitions ( /mnt/haha - ext2 - hda5 ) to encrypted mode. / and /home partitions on hdd. click <Done> Format / and /home on hdd Error message (during formatting): "fsck failed with exitcode 8 or signal 0" Install log on <F3>: (excerpt which looks suspicious) "calling losetup -p 0 -e AES128 /dev/loop0 /dev/hda5" "mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt/mnt/haha as type ext2, options encrypted, encryption=AES128" "running fsck.ext2 -a /dev/loop0" "warning: fsck failed with exitcode 8 or signal 0 at /usr/bin/perl-install/fs.pm line 620" Reproduceability: I could reproduce this bug given the same Conditions, but i could not reproduce it if i had all three partitions ( /mnt/haha and / and /home ) on hdd. good luck with this one! 3.KDE: The first time I installed kde 2.2.2 & 3.0 When logging in with "default" windowmanager selected i log into kde3 and not kde2.2.2. The two are not able to co-exist happily (as has been reported on this list) probably because they use the same directory to store their config files. Also i can't log into kde 2.2.2, even when selecting "KDE" before login, i always login to kde3. 4.MCC: After a clean reinstall, in KDE (2.2.2): (this bug has been reported before, but is still important) MCC does not have a surrounding frame that would allow it to be moved/closed/resized. MCC is always in the foreground. 5. Hardware configuration: With my soundcard (Yamaha YMF-724) there is no out-of-the-box sound. In sound mixer (KDE) the "Asahi Kasei AK4540" mixer has following default settings that need to be changed to get audio. It would be nice if these were set up correctly: "PCM" device is muted and volume set to 0 "Master" device is muted and volume set to 0 "Wave Playback Volume" device (4th from the left) has volume set to 0 That's all for now! -- Sascha Noyes OpenPGP public key keyID: 7F9C4D6F ------------ Encrypted mail much preferred
