[Cooker] initrd.img selection in drak?boot
Hi I'll file a bug if you agree it is one... Both in the installation (Advanced) section for lilo and in mcc, I was unable to add a second linux installation to the lilo config using the wizard. I could select an alternative vmlinuz file on another partition (which was mounted), but I couldn't select the appropriate initrd.img file, so running lilo failed. Is this known or on purpose? Cheers Simon
Re: [Cooker] WTF???
I didn't have quite as much bad luck with rc2 as Pierre Fortin did, but, as usual, so much that is so obvious to anyone who tries to install it that I do not report such things because of their obviousness. This makes me critical of Mandrake's alpha testing, and I will not cooperate with them or report stuff until it is acceptable and the team signoffs are included. My chief complaint about rc2 is its inability to set up a good lilo.conf when the bootloader was previously installed on the MBR by one of the other Mandrake partitions. In this case the installer should update the lilo.conf on the existing lilo-active linux partition and chroot lilo to it so that operations are not disturbed except for the addition of the newly installed partition stanza which will then become bootable immediately after installation. This is obviously a basic requirement. In any case rc2 testing here has to stop until October 1 since my broadband download quota for September is exhausted due to the inexcusably RPM-repetitious nature of Cooker downloads. Pierre Fortin wrote: There is NO way rc[12] are release candidates... releasing this would make Mdk a laughing stock and really tick off a lot of users. As mentioned below, INSTALLATION is the MOST IMPORTANT part of any distro; without it, it doesn't matter how good the distro is rated to be -- it simply does NOT exist if it can't be installed...!! From what I've seen so far, 9.2 is gonna be a bomb if the installer isn't cleaned up. Even after telling 9.2rc1 installer where 9.1 is, I'm writing this (as we travel along I-40) on a crippled 9.2 kernel even though it *should* be the original 9.1... image=/boot/vmlinuz == (1) label=linux9.1 root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-1mdk.img === (2) read-only (1) Install was on hda9, so shouldn't this read [/mnt]/91/boot/vmlinuz...??? (2) Should also read: [/mnt]/91/boot/initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.img where /91 is the name I gave the 9.1 partition during 9.2 install... This is the classic problem of failing to corectly tell lilo where stuff really is... To understand what is wrong with the installer's view of lilo.conf, here is my hand-crafted lilo.conf on the 9.1 side (/dev/hda1) -- the 9.2 version needs to take the opposing view of /dev/hda9 with hda1 as the foreign OS using /91 as the mount point... boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=menu vga=normal default=linux keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=50 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=devfs=mount acpi=off prof=Home read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux-acpi root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=devfs=mount acpi=on prof=Home read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=failsafe root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=failsafe devfs=nomount acpi=off read-only other=/dev/fd0 label=floppy unsafe image=/boot/vmlinuz label=office root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=devfs=mount acpi=off prof=Office read-only # 9.2 image=/92/boot/vmlinuz label=linux9.2 root=/dev/hda9 initrd=/92/boot/initrd.img append=devfs=mount acpi=off resume=/dev/hda7 read-only image=/92/boot/vmlinuz label=failsafe9.2 root=/dev/hda9 initrd=/92/boot/initrd.img append=failsafe devfs=nomount acpi=off resume=/dev/hda7 read-only In other words, there is no way to correctly build lilo using a common lilo.conf file; the view depends on which partition you're starting from...

Hmmm.. they started as a quick hack and were evolving constantly, so I didn't want to pester the rpm maintainer every time so I made my own package with it. I also found most private directories are both protected by the in apache config file, and by a local .htaccess in the directory. Isn't this a bit redundant. No, it's not redundant, it's because many people modify their apache config files, but then some applications have major security holes when that happens. Better be safe than sorry. Finally, all those sensible files (apache config file, .htaccess files) are owned by apache groupe, with 640 perms, which make rpmlint scream. Time for some new rpmlint exception/check ?

[Cooker] Kernel oopses/panics with -6 to -9 enterprise kernels
Right. This is going to be yet another vaugue post to cooker ml. Last four releases of cooker kernel are happily oopsing and panicing. The hardware ran fine on 9.1 and is now quite frustrating. The oopses I've experienced were related to journaling (jbd.o), kmem_cache_free (panic) and scsi (cdrw present) and devfs_d_input. The crashes seem NOT to be related with nvidia driver (i.e. they occur both when nvidia.o is loaded or not). I'm not a kernel hacker. However I'm willing to help to debug the problems. Could some kernel maintainer contact me and help me extract viable information about the crashes? I'm happy to spend some time on this. mem=nopentium doesn't seem to do the trick.

Today, we'll try to freeze even more, and let us all one week of testing in order to fix any remaining *critical* bugs. Cosmetic/minor bugs won't be fixed, risking breaking some more. Please continue testing the install program, important fixes have been done lately and it would be important to detect any important breakage in result of this. Thanks. How do I do this, Guillaume? I have the iso images of 8/9 September and I cannot find any later iso images anywhere. If I keep installing from the same iso images I will keep getting the same broken install with the same missing KDE elements. As the elements are missing from the system as installed, even update will not give me a complete system and I will still have to add the missing elements manually by scanning the pacakges list and deciding which ones were in 9.1 and therefor should be added to the new install. How do I get fresh iso images? Or failing that, how do I create the equivalent of a fresh install set? Please don't get locked into an artificial schedule. Take your time and don't issue a final until you have issued a fixed RC3 or even RC4 if need be. Better to be a bit late than to rush out something that is not ready. Clive

Re: [Cooker] 9.2 download CD size
I still prefer the 650Mb CDs. I have been burning all the Mandrakes since 8.0 (and skipping 9.0) to the same set 650Mb CDRWs. If you stick with 650Mb it makes it one less thing that can go wrong when someone asks to try it. Whatever you do, please don't create two differing sets of CD sizes (i.e. if you go with 700 don't also make a 650 version). This becomes a maintenance nightmare as people will mix up CDs etc.

[Cooker] BitTorrent suggestion
Hello, For the final Mandrake release could you not split the torrents (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/torrent/ ) up by CD (and md5sum)? Instead package them as one. Here is the rationale behind my request. Firstly, it means that availability of each of the three CDs will be broadly equal since in order to get any of them you will have to get (and share) all of them. It also helps that you can now easily set the download everything serially without swamping your connection any more than a single BitTorrent would. Finally many people often have a bad experience when using Mandrake for the first time because they do not have all three CDs from which to choose packages from. Packaging everything together encourages more people to download the full set. I ran the first Mandrake 9.1 tracker and found people are willing to download all three CDs in one big lump. Since BitTorrent can resume (and verify), it is no problem if you have to stop and restart at a later point which helps with such a long download.

[Cooker] ANN: Mandrake GDM themes based on bootsplashes
Thanks to Olivier Blin, there's a package in contrib with alternate graphic bootsplashes. And thanks to Tim Butler and Brant Fitzsimmons, some of these themes are custom-designed for Mandrake. I've whipped up a couple of GDM login themes based on these two guys' work. Only two of the three possible designs are in place, but I hope to have the third (present in the bootsplash-themes package) if possible. This is a request for people to download the gdm themes and give them a look-see. You can find them at: http://john.keller.free.fr/ Each theme has two variations. I originally made an off-centered layout for Brant's Enterprise Linux theme. However, there is a version with the login box in the typical centered location. I'd like to hope that feedback goes with the off-centered design, but am willing to bow to public opinion if people think the centered version is better. My first try with Tim's glowing theme had me cutting off the icon bar about 3/4 of the way across the screen -- I didn't want to darken the bright Mandrake star. After a bit of juggling, I made the star a separate element, which you'll see in the second download. The trick is, the star may float in relation to the light rays' source on different resolutions. This is where I'd love to hear from those with high-res environments. The same goes for the Enterprise theme: the thumbnail doesn't do it justice because Xnest didn't allow me to use it at 1024x768, and the login box isn't meant to scale proportionately to the resolution. Please let me know via the list your impressions. And if there are any volunteers for packaging the final two themes, I'd wouldn't turn you down! - John

You're not going to make any enemies by giving 650 MB CD's to a user with a new machine. You will make some enemies by giving 650 MB CD's to a use with an old machine, especially in the server/laptop market, which is where Mandrake could use some more penetration. This is a perfect incentive to make a one or two DVD set and sell them. If people could order a FULL two DVD set (cheap, without books or boxes), this would be very cool, and generate some profit.

Re: [Cooker] Totem as default mp3 player for Galeon?

Fired up Galeon, went to my online mp3 collection (mind ya! I have the original CDs), click on a playlist, xmms is not listed there. Totem couldn't play it. You could file a bug report against totem. What was the error message and what was the file type? It might no be a good idea to ship totem as a default multimedia player int the 9.2 release. I just downloaded it and it crashed when launching files from Nautilus (at the beginning, after a few retries it worked ). I next tried to play with preferences and it crashed after a few clicks.

[Cooker] [Bug 5692] [kernel] New: CD cdrom door / tray won't open
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5692 Product: kernel Component: default Summary: CD cdrom door / tray won't open Product: kernel Version: 2.4.22-8mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: default AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is probably more of a design issue than a bug but I want to hear the reasons for, and encourage a re-thinking of, the current design. It was really silly for CD drive manufacturers to add a software disable for the eject button on the front of a READ-ONLY device. I blame them initially for all this frustration/confusion, but we programmers could fix this problem if we want. The general problem: more and more things that used to be simple about computers are becoming complex. Enter this particular example: often the cdrom won't give you the disk and there is usually no good reason for it to refuse. I'm an OS programmer. I know handling I/O faults is a pain and have often wanted to ignore the error paths and events that abort device reads (especially the async reads). But locking the drive door for a read-only device just because we can is a really bad idea. This makes for an UNresponsive machine that does not act the way it is expected and ultimately creates distrust in the user about his system and our software. I should NOT have to type 'eject' to make the drive open. (This is not a MAC, there IS a button, so it needs to work whenever possible) The errors must be handled anyway so the OS and all the apps that use the device must always be prepared for media is gone. I don't care if the device is mounted or even in the middle of a read, when I push the open door button I expect to hear the device spin down immediately and open the door - no questions asked. The kernel and apps should recover from these errors gracefully - it should really be no big deal. I strongly encourage a rethinking of this design. Fight the urge to lock removable media drives unless *and only while* they are writing. We want machines that are responsive. Beeping the PC speaker would be a good way to say the software knows the user pressed the open door button while the device is writing (but there probably isn't hardware support for this). An attitude like this will greatly improve the look and feel of the user's machine and our software. Copy this to any application writers that need to get involved. Next time I'll go after the Power Button...

You will never manage to make everybody happy.
