[Cooker] mplayer security problem
Hi I just read this on the mplayer site, there's a security hole in almost all recent versions of mplayer. A fix-release 0.92 has been made to fix this... http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/news.html Cheers Simon

It would be nice if packages would include an implicit epoch tag, so a

it would conflict with epochs set for other purposes
Not if all our packages were rebuilt with epoch: release.epoch tags.
This may be a bit extreme though.
we would need to have a predefined macro for this
%mkepoch() %{mdkversion}.%{1}
so a packager could use
epoch: %{mkepoch 1} = epoch: 920.1
but epoch is an optional tag, is there any way to force it if packager
forgets? (besides rpmlint i mean)
when i backport i usually change the release to 0.release
we could have all packages have a release of distver.releasemdk ?
Yeah, actually this is a fix for Buchan's idea...
%mkversion() %{mdkversion}.%{1}%{?2:%{2}}%{!?2:mdk}
Usage:
%version %{mkversion 1} = %version 920.1mdk
%version %{mkversion 1 plf} = %version 920.1plf
for this to work an updated rpm with just compatibility macro added
should be made available for previous mandrake releases.
mklibname is another compatibility macro that would be nice for
backporters.

[Cooker] Problem: Multiple Detection of ide cd(dvd)-Recorder
I am isolating the problem; is not with the Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-5002, because I have seen that it could run under linux (search made in google), but with having two cd-rw/dvd-rw attached at the same ide (in the case of my friend, on ide1). The problem is occuring with the last kernels (google search again) In a Suse related page: (http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/max_scsi_luns.html) it is well described: Symptom: Your IDE CD-recorder for which a SCSI emulation is running is detected 8 times and occupies /dev/scd0 to /dev/scd7. A typical symptom is the command cdrecord -scanbus displaying the same CD-recorder eight times. Solution: Insert max_scsi_luns=1 as a kernel parameter for your boot loader configuration. If you use LILO as your boot loader, insert this parameter in the append line of LILO's configuration file /etc/lilo.conf. If you use GRUB as your boot loader, insert the parameter in the kernel line of GRUB's menu list /boot/grub/menu.lst. After the changes, LILO must be restarted. For GRUB, changes apply immediately. I think this afternoon I will be able to test the solution (my friend isn't at home now). I will inform you of the results; but if this can occur with 9.2 it will be a good idea to put some comment about this subject at the Mandrake web page, wouldn't be?

Re: [Cooker] Boot images
From: Michael Altizer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thomas Backlund wrote: From: Michael Altizer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where can I find the config files used to generate the kernel images of the installation floppies and/or more information on using the blank.img? Thanks BOOT kernel /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig-BOOT as for blank.img... read the readme and install files on the CD or in the root of the cooker tree, or to put it short... build a kernel with ewerything you need compiled in, _no_ modules, and copy it to blank.img and boot/install... Thomas Thank you for the quick response, but a couple items are still confusing me: First, the default configuration for the BOOT kernel seems to contain a large number of modules which would be in opposition of the second part of your reply. Yes, they are but we use the BOOT kernel on the CD, and the other floppy images, since the modules are on precompiled on the CD... but that's only usable if you have built them all at the same time Second, I attempted what the readme says (yes, I had read it previously, my mail was actually looking for a bit more detail) and I receive 'Could not open ramdisk device file.' when attempting to load anything onto the ramdisk (duh) even though I have compiled in support for RAM disks (under Block devices). Also, I am unable to switch between virtual consoles (with alt+F3, alt+F4) during the attempted installation, which has me somewhat baffled. Any further aid would be greatly appreciated. -Michael but when you use the blank.img you can't easily support any modules, or initrd, so you have to build a custom kernel, where you can use the above mentioned config as a start, but you have to remove is's module and initrd support...(chosing 'N' in the xconfig/menuconfig/config) and every h/w and fs you need to support during installation, has to be compiled in... (chosing 'Y' in the xconfig/menuconfig/config) Now, the next question is of course... why do you need to do all this? Doesn't the installerkernel support your system? Regards Thomas

Are you saying that everything on rpmhelp.net, PLF, Texstar's stuf, etc. should go in contribs? yes, and no. Texstar is building backport. Plf is for stuff that cannot go in contribs. I think that a repository than can be put in contribs should be in contribs , in order to not have the apt-get.org dispertion effect. I think separate rpm repositories that specialize in certain things is good. It depends on what is the specialisation. But, even if exim is put in contribs, nothing stop you to provides backport for people who want it. In fact, more and more people are interested in providing backport , so, there is a place for a global repository offering sane backport. But, having it in contribs will give more visibility. And, this is the first step toward inclusion in main. And, we will also be able to integrate some tools ( spamassassin, amavis ) more closely with exim. There really is nothing stopping you from doing that now. It doesn't need to be in contribs for that. if someone do a spamassassin-exim package, this person cannot put it in contribs, since it has a unresolved dependancy ( exim ).

For the b. case, think at people who are using tiny hardware. This hardware is not necessary old, the low power sometimes save weight. I use such a laptop (recent but not powerfull because of weight and energy savings). I always do manually the following settings: - less virtual consoles (6 - 2) - suppress some services - desktop environnement settings (opaque window move, animated lists, KDE deamons, ...) For the c. case, think at people who are using a battery powered system. I do the following settings: - activate ACPI (user who don't know what it is will not use it) - automatically manage services and hdparm -S [delay] according to power source (battery or AC) - perform some settings of the b. case Currently, you are looking like a good distro for newbies. But really, users must have some knowledges in the system configuration in order to fit their needs. So your distro seems to be for newbies but it is not.

There's never been an interest before. I've been maintining exim packages for about 1.5-2 years now, and I never even knew anyone was interested. IIRC, I had asked about putting it in contribs when I first built the package (since it wasn't wanted in main) and the answer I got then was two MTAs were enough. Never bothered since. sorry, i was not here at this time. I should have search the archives before asking. It was a long time ago, and wasn't discussed on the list, but internally. You likely wouldn't have found anything even if you had searched. If someone wants to put it in contribs, that's fine. I'll still maintain it on rpmhelp.net because, right now, you can grab exim for 9.0-9.2, and instead of maintaining for cooker I maintain for stable releases. do you think it is some much troubles to maintain it in contribs ? I mean, this is just rebuilding it in a cooker environnement. And it doesn't prevent you to rebuild in 9.0-9.2 No, it isn't too much trouble. But, I'm lazy, I have my build systems here, and I don't have to worry about ssh'ing to paris on a slow link. =) That's my primary motivation to keep it here. this will be easier to find it . Dispertion of rpm is not good, this force people to search too much and this gives them bad habits ( downloading semi official rpm ). Putting it in contribs will allow it to be tested by more people, and integrated to cooker. I disagree. PLF doesn't have a problem with people using their packages. yes, but plf is bigger than rpmhelp. So? What does that have to do with anything? if you take a look at easy urpmi, you will see that a lot of repositorie exist, some of them providing rpms already in contribs, and this is not easy to keep track of who do what. And i am pretty sure that plf would not exist if we were able to put the package in contribs. Sure, and by the same reasoning there is a place for rpmhelp.net. Due to licensing problems, we can't put qmail in contribs, and that's what has made rpmhelp.net useful and known to people. qmail has only been provided via rpmhelp.net and, let me tell you, that has made it well-enough known for those that require it. IIRC, if you were to search in Club's rpm database or rpm2html listing or whatever it is, you'll find exim listed under rpmhelp.net. yes, but, i think we should not encourage people to search rpm on a website. urpmq and rpmdrake are here for this reason. How can people choose between your great package, checked with rpmlint, and others packagers made by alien ? I never said we should encourage them to do so, and at the same token, they can use urpmq and rpmdrake once they setup the rpmhelp.net sources. It's not that difficult... there used to be a djbsupport package in contribs that would setup the source for you.. I removed it because setting up a source is *s* easy. Are you saying that everything on rpmhelp.net, PLF, Texstar's stuf, etc. should go in contribs? yes, and no. Texstar is building backport. Plf is for stuff that cannot go in contribs. I think that a repository than can be put in contribs should be in contribs , in order to not have the apt-get.org dispertion effect. rpmhelp.net can't go in contribs. qmail can't go in, so all of the things that depend on it (a large number of packages) also can't go in. The other stuff there (like exim, etc.) are either backports of stuff I personally find useful for my CS2.1 servers or things people ask me to put in. By your own argument, rpmhelp.net cannot go in contribs, so why are we having this discussion? =) I think separate rpm repositories that specialize in certain things is good. It depends on what is the specialisation. But, even if exim is put in contribs, nothing stop you to provides backport for people who want it. In fact, more and more people are interested in providing backport , so, there is a place for a global repository offering sane backport. But, having it in contribs will give more visibility. And, this is the first step toward inclusion in main. Of course nothing stops me; it just takes more time. I'm also not desperate to get exim in main. If it goes in, great, it's because it's a great MTA. It's not because I've been lobbying to get it put in. Exim doesn't *need* to be in main. I don't feel it needs to be there and, until sendmail is put in contribs, it won't be there. You try and get sendmail in contribs first... when that happens, I'll put exim in contribs as well and then those interested can work

[Cooker] [Bug 5639] [kernel] Computer freezes while using KDE

Sometimes when I start KDE, sometimes when I navigate K-menu and sometimes when I try to install new software. Screen freezes, mouse doesn't move, keyboard doesn't respond (e.g. I can't turn on num/caps/scroll lock). Note: leds for num/caps/scroll lock are NOT blinking. I can't restart X with: CTRL+ALT+Backspace I can't log in to this machine with ssh. I can't reboot with: Sys Rq (ALT + PrintScreen) + B I have tried setting Bios to default settings and replacing nvidia driver with nv driver but it still freezes in KDE. It did not freeze in GNOME or IceWM I CAN recompile kernel without errors. I have upgraded from MDK 9.0 to 9.2RC1 and then to 9.2RC2. I use XFS filesystem. I have AMD K6 350MHz downclocked to 266Mhz (because in MDK 9.0 I couldn't recompile kernel on 350Mhz - signal 11). After that MDK 9.0 worked without a problem.

(chosing 'Y' in the xconfig/menuconfig/config) Now, the next question is of course... why do you need to do all this? Doesn't the installerkernel support your system? Regards Thomas I was troubleshooting since I was having numerous problems when trying to install, but it turned out to be that my RAM was being run at .1V too low :).

I was still getting an error with network.img after fixing this, the installation exiting after downloading, it seems, only part of the second stage install (exits with error about not being able to execute /bin/installstage2 or somesuch), but I was able to install from newly burned RC2 CDs.

[Cooker] Suggestion for program inclusion
Recently I found myself in the need to burn a .nrg (that's Nero Burning Rom's proprietary format for ISOS) under Linux. After a bit of googling, i found this fine tool, nrg2iso. The main program is a single .c file containing 139 lines of code (That includes the GPL header in it :o) It's usage is as simple as it can be: $ nrg2iso file.nrg outputfile.iso and it's very fast. I think it makes a great addition to mkisofs and bchunk. Tarball (8.1Kb) can be downloaded at: http://gregory.kokanosky.free.fr/v4/linux/nrg2iso.en.html Of course, when i say inclusion, i'm referring to 9.3/10.0. ;oP see ya. Damian
