Re: [Cooker] cooker - state of play

2003-07-05 Thread Olivier Blin

 So to boot up I have to pick my kernel, do Alt-SysRq-E when module
 dependencies freeze, login to the console, modprobe nvidia and usbmouse,
 restart the xfs service and restart the dm service. This is not optimal.
 :) 

Same problem here, but I also need to modprobe some i2c and video modules to then 
modprobe bttv :/
Thanks for the SysRq tip :-)

 Any status on these problems, particularly the devfsd one? I'm running
 devfsd-1.3.25-30mdk , which seems to be the latest. I note that the
 changelog for 29mdk reads really package /sbin/devfsd-try-modload, but
 I don't *have* /sbin/devfsd-try-modload , nor does urpmf find it.

well you get this free with spamassassin

collecting spamming (at least at beginning) could be useful for spam learning if

Furthermore I still need to add a %post script so to set $mydomain in

You are right, but indeed, I was thiking to something different. Instead of a
awkward %post script which with some perl/sed/grep would add the lines to master.cf and main.cf,
rather only a line to /etc/sysconfig/amavis, containing some variable

configure or un-configure the master.cf/main.cf according to this value.

Collecting SA mails to a bayesian system is beyond stupid, as far as I
can tell.  You go through all the computational expense of bayesian to
essentially duplicate the SpamAssassin rules..
AFAIK the sa-learn is only performed once, that it can

 By te way, the last thing to check is the channel aggregation. It works

 Thats one of the things that i have fixed in isdn4net. What you mean is ibod 
 and ibod needs the slave in dialmode auto. For per minute dial up dialmode 
 auto on the master is not wished, with old isdn4net master and slave are set 
 to manuel then. This prevented channelbundling/ibod from working. I have no 
 made an extra option for defining the dialmode of SLAVE seperate. The default 
 is set to auto no matter which modew the master has. As the dialmode auto on 
 the slave is not dangerous as it just defines how the second channel has to 
 be added this is a save solution (the same as in isdn-light I guess). 

 In short : it will work. 

I have made the needed modifications in the cvs.

Now the virtual interface is ONBOOT=yes by default, and the up/down scripts

Re: [Cooker] pcmcia sequence in boot

2003-07-05 Thread Luca Berra

 For a system with only a PCMCIA NIC, you should set ONBOOT=no in
 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 . This is the real bug, this
 should be the default setting for PCMCIA NICs. That way the network
 service just does nothing to it on boot, and the pcmcia service brings
 it up as it should.
my problem is the opposite,
i do not want the damned pcmcia ethernet card to be started at boot, i
might want it to enable it from time to time, but not always (i'd also
like the modem on the same pcmcia card to be recognised and the on-board
ethernet interface to be brought up at boot).

My system boots from the .3 kernel version, which is a big improvement over 
the last 2 versions.  Unfortunately, it appears to be using 70-80% of my CPU 
cycles somewhere, which get listed under system in top.  The computer runs 
extremely slowly in this state.  We are getting closer to a usable version of

Downloaded a patch from http://www.iki.fi/tmb/9.1/ It allows Mandrake to see the
drives on the Promise controller, but, changes hda to hde and hde to hdc. This
is OK but a pain since I am dual booting Windows from hda which does not show in
Mandrake. So, lilo will not update the boot.

[Cooker] ogg123(libao) problem on cooker

Can anybody running current Cooker test this?

Run something that uses aRts sound output so that aRts has the sound device open, then
run ogg123 on some ogg file (with no command-line options).  It should autodetect to 
use aRts output, print the song file info, then what?

Does it play, or does it say Killed?

[Cooker] Re: postfix broken

2003-07-05 Thread David Walser

Ok, I recompiled every library Postfix depends on (compiling pam and cyrus-sasl 
against db4.1 and openldap with gdbm as it otherwise wouldn't build), then postfix 
itself, and it still doesn't work.

Immediately upon startup, and whenever I try to send a message, I get these in 
/var/log/mail/warnings:
Jul  5 16:52:39 mario postfix/master[21325]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/pickup

command startup -- throttling

and telnet localhost 25 doesn't give a version string.

Is this a SASL thing, or is glibc broken (maybe that explains libao too, seems to die 
on a pthreads call)?

 still seem to have this devfsd problem that people are experiencing to
 various degrees. loop, nvidia, usbmouse and probably some others I don't

 So to boot up I have to pick my kernel, do Alt-SysRq-E when module
 dependencies freeze, login to the console, modprobe nvidia and usbmouse,
 restart the xfs service and restart the dm service. This is not optimal.

 :)

Sounds like that is a bit of an understatement.  At least it boots!  g

FWIW..  My system is a bit different.  I'm running 2.4.21 self-compiled from 
kernel.org.  As such, I have boot-required modules like reiserfs (on all my 
partitions except for swap, naturally, and legacy vfat) built-in, so don't 
need or have an initrd to worry about.

That said, with devfsd -30mdk here, no serious issues.  I don't have usbmouse 
(still use ps2, since I have the port and it's less complicated than tracking 
USB for such a critical input device), but I have nvidia supporting two 
monitors on my AGP GForce2 (svirge on the PCI supporting a third monitor).  I 
originally didn't load it on boot, but at X start (I boot init 3 by default 
and start X/KDE from my user login with the kde command from BASH).  However, 
I'm assuming due to the binary portion being compiled with a different gcc, 
that didn't work after I upgraded to kernel 2.4.21.  It does, however, work 
if I load nvidia from /etc/modules at boot, which I am doing now.  I have 
loopback modulized, but haven't used it recently so don't know whether it 
works or not.

Anyway, while several have said it's a devfsd issue, I'm not sure that's 
entirely the case, as it doesn't seem to be affecting me here, with a 
standard kernel.org kernel, and no initrd.  If it IS specifically a devfsd 
issue, the kernel and/or initrd apparently triggers it.

Build openldap-2.1 instead
(http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/openldap-2.1.22-1mdk.src.rpm),
the reason for the update to db4.1 in the first place. I don't think
openldap ever built against db4.0, I think the current 2.0.x package
builds against db3.3 (which would mean ldap shouldn't be your problem, or

But you maybe *do* have the bug. the nvidia module should load if you
have this line in /etc/modules.conf:

alias /dev/nvidia*   nvidia

but for many of us, it doesn't. We have to load it manually or put it in

 As others have explained, the web server has to do more work when you leave
 out the /, because it has to do a redirect.

 Multiplied by enough hits, the amount of extra work could be significant. 
 In the earlier days of the 'net, for a while www.yahoo.com refused to do
 the redirect if you didn't put the /, instead offering an explanation, to
 condition people to put the /.  Also mentioned here, it just looks better. 
 Anyway it saves the server work, and it actually decreases the load time
 (yes, the extra work for the server is often noticeable).

 So now that this has been explained on the list, can we please make sure to
 use the / in the future when a URL is just a domain?  Thanks.
Well, i understand for the directory/file disambiguation, but when requesting 
just the domain, it is a non-sense, as there is no ambiguity at all.

And anyway, the server has still to do a redirect to the precise default page. 
If you really want to avoid this, you have to use an explicit URL as 
http://my.domain.com/index.html, but then you're lost the day the webmaster

It is made for an older version because the bug is known for a long time. 
The only thing that is not sure it if the patch works actually correctly 
(but it has been in my kernel version on club for some time, without 
complaints).

I try to put set -x at the start of my /etc/rc.sysinit script and it stop to freeze!!!

I don't know why???

Le ven 04/07/2003  22:52, Adam Williamson a crit :

Here's the current happy fun bugs I have with Cooker:

still seem to have this devfsd problem that people are experiencing to
various degrees. loop, nvidia, usbmouse and probably some others I don't
know about are not loaded on boot.

just now, the system's starting freezing at Finding module
dependencies: - it sits there and does nothing. I can workaround this
with Alt-SysRq-E, which terminates whatever is freezing the system, and
boot continues, but then the X Font Server fails to initialise properly
(complains about some executable not existing).

So to boot up I have to pick my kernel, do Alt-SysRq-E when module
dependencies freeze, login to the console, modprobe nvidia and usbmouse,
restart the xfs service and restart the dm service. This is not optimal.
:) 

Any status on these problems, particularly the devfsd one? I'm running
devfsd-1.3.25-30mdk , which seems to be the latest. I note that the
changelog for 29mdk reads really package /sbin/devfsd-try-modload, but
I don't *have* /sbin/devfsd-try-modload , nor does urpmf find it.

 But you maybe *do* have the bug. the nvidia module should load if you
 have this line in /etc/modules.conf:

 alias /dev/nvidia*   nvidia

 but for many of us, it doesn't. We have to load it manually or put it in
 /etc/modules. what about you?

That's what I thought I said..  However, I attribute it to something else..  
the binary only bit of the nvidia module, as I had to force 
recompile/reinstall of the nvidia module after compiling and switching to 
2.4.21, as the nvidia installer otherwise gave me a warning/error about me 
using a different compiler to compile the module than I had to compile the 
kernel, tho it was the same one, and I'd just finished compiling the kernel.  
The only reasonable explanation for that is that the nvidia binary-only 
component was compiled with a different compiler, which would be expected 
since I rather doubt they could be using the latest Cooker gcc, when I 
believe this release (the latest, but..) was out b4 the latest gcc!

Thus, I think the problem is the stupid binary-only core, which of necessity 
HAS to be compiled with something older than the newest gcc, rather than 
devfsd or some other such thing.  I expect the reason it won't load by 
default now has to do with the compiler differences, tho it will still load 
if specifically loaded, as it is when loaded from modules or manually.

I really wish they'd just release the thing so it could be fully compiled with 
whatever I happen to be using, already!  I doubt I will buy another nvidia 
card due to all this hassle.  (I got this one back b4 I switched to Linux.  
At the time I was planning to switch, so I verified Linux drivers and that 
the dual head worked with them, but I didn't know enough to realize what 
complications nvidia proprietary drivers would cause, nor even that they were 
different from the nv drivers.  I just knew to verify they were there and 
would work with the card I was looking to purchase.)

Of course, one does have a hard time arguing with nvidia's price and wide 
availability..

  I've never understood why so many people included a final / when citing
  an URL. Could you explain why ?

 Because it is the correct way to form an URL :

 http://foobar/foo/bar should grab file bar in foo directory

 http://foobar/foo/bar/ should grab index file in bar directory..

 Many web servers do a redirection when first case doesn't apply and
 'bar' directory exist.. But it is BAD :)

The trailing / is especially important (in general) because if you run ls 
on a directory name that is actually just a link to another directory, you 
don't get the contents of that directory - just the name of the link. This 
little feature bites me all the time in Solaris (at work) because I have a 
number of links set up this way to make it easier for me to cd to my userware 
directories (I write a lot of scripts, etc. that I want others to be able to 
access - but I don't want other users to be able to have access to my /home 
subdirectories, so I put them in a semi-public location and put my own links 
in /home/usr). I am forever forgetting the trailing /. However, it is still 
easier for me to type ~/usr/linkname/ than to type something like 
/data/mgc_arch/cust/etc/mgc_tk/en/userware/dirname.

Yes, in my opinion it is bad to leave off the trailing /.

Sorry about the windy explanation!

Re: [Cooker] more messed up dependencies

On Thu 03 Jul 2003 06:22, Adam Williamson posted as excerpted below:
 on urpmi --auto-select this afternoon:

 Some package requested cannot be installed:
 drakfirsttime-0.91-13mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied perl(Request))

I got that too, only here it wanted to install Apache and a mail server to 
satisfy dependencies!  I upgraded the package manually using rpm --nodeps 
rather than urpmi, and no other issues.
