[Cooker] Gstreamer 0.6.4 corrects a crashing problem with rhythmbox
Using a Terratec sound card (Aureon Space, based on Envy24HT) and alsa drivers, I had a crash with rhythmbox each time I wanted to play a file, related to gstreamer. Updatting gstreamer to the new cooker version : 0.6.4-1mdk, this corrects this problem. Are they other people having this problem ? Would it be possible to make gstreamer 0.6.4 available in the 9.2 updates then ? Thanks Eric
Re: [Cooker] Problems booting with ext3 for root partition
The long thread on 'kernel 23mdk panic' seems to be related to my problem. Has anyone made a summary of conclusions made so far? Which kernels are known to boot properly, with and without initrd? On Tue, 2003-11-04 at 00:06, Svante Signell wrote: Hi, I have been following the cooker development on and off for some years now, and have not had any problems with the root partition as ext3 until around half a year ago. The boot message displayed is: EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,65)): ext2_read_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2 This happens with e.g. kernels 2.4.18,2.4.20 and 2.4.22. Also, with an initrd RAM disk no kernels boot at all, the boot halt with a kernel panic, so I have to use the noinitrd option. The master boot record is located on another physical disk (/dev/hda), and I'm using lilo as boot loader. Checking the state with tune2fs -l /deb/hdb1 after boot shows that the filesystem state is not clean. However, booting from a CD and mounting the root partition either as ext3 or ext2, all is OK, the filesystem state is OK. I did even remove all journal file information, checked the partition, created a new journal file (and even tried the features filetype, sparse_super), rechecked again, but same result as before :( What's going on here?

[Cooker] Re: Interesting KDE stuff - IRKick
Vincent Meyer, MD posted [EMAIL PROTECTED], excerpted below, on Thu, 06 Nov 2003 00:30:23 -0500: Loaded a bunch of kde updates, and there was a new icon in the kicker tray - IRKicker. Looks like some kind of IR remote control thingie. Hmm.. Right click and select to configure, and nothing happens. Right click, go to help, ask helpcenter for the irkick handbook.. not found. Brings up the help center, but no info on the app. I can't confirm this since there's little reason in my updating to the latest Cooker right now given that I'll be installing amd64 versions in the next few days (my dual Opteron hardware upgrade is scheduled to arrive later today, YEA!!), but I'm guessing that's part of the new KDE 3.2 betas Laurent has been putting out. If so, it's quite likely there IS no documentation for any new functionality, yet. I remember this was the case with early betas of 3.0 and 3.1.. However, given your description, it sounds indeed like an IR tray applet, likely pretty similar to the MSWormOS idea that's been around since W98, anyway, IIRC. I've always run desktop systems (laptops are in general to expensive and not upgradable enough for my buck), but I've seen the applet on friend's laptops. Basically, all it is is a visual display of the status of the IR serial port. When an IR printer or other such IR enabled device comes within range and a link is established, the MSWormOS tray applet normally plays a sound, and changes the icon to show two devices with a beam between them. When the link is broken, another sound, and it goes back to the single port beaming IR icon. There's little interactivity, except that IIRC right clicking on it brings up a configure option which would be the same properties display for IR available from the control panel applet. My guess on the KDE implementation is that they will have something similar, but at this point, the kcontrol IR applet isn't available or isn't configured right (someone reported they had no kcontrol entries at all, with one of the first Mdk beta versions!!), so the functionality isn't there and choosing that option does nothing, as you described. However, if you've a laptop and something suitable for communication with it via IR, you can probably test the link notifier functionality, and see if I'm right on that. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

In fact the help screen on ext3 says Be aware however that the file system of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module, and so this may be dangerous. So, we should compile every filesystem that is usable on a root partition into the kernel? Then we will have 2MB kernels (have you seen how big xfs is?). 500k for XFS, 220k for ReiserFS, plus JFS and ext3 (100k including jdb). Since you can have root on LVM, maybe that should be compiled in too? Of course, then we should compile md in also. So if it is compiled as a module in mdk, against this advice, perhaps the maintainer(s) can give their explanation as to why this advice from the kernel team is wrong. Because initrd images work fine (and this has been the case almost for ever). The warning in the kernel source is for people who are compiling their own kernels and may not know how to create initrd images that include the required modules. BTW, I don't think this has anything to do with the problem, as users with this problem reported the modules were loaded before they had probles ... But, someone who has the problem may want to test with the Mandrake kernel-source and see if compiling the root filesystem driver in helps.

[Cooker] GNOME 2.5/2.6 and cooker
Hi folks, since cooker is re-opened again, I'd like to ask all people who have upload permissions to main cooker to NOT upload any GNOME 2.5/2.6 packages. Unfortunately, it seems GNOME 2.6 release schedule will collide with next distro release (this one is not yet final) so I won't be able to push GNOME 2.6 for Mdk 10.0. Since there is no easy way to handle two seperate branches of packages in cooker (and NO, I don't want to see foobar2.6 named packages in contrib, I keep 2.4.x packages in cooker. (Trust me, I'm not very happy about that :( I haven't yet decided if I'll push GTK+ 2.4 in cooker, but ATM, I won't push 2.3.0 since it is not yet stable and I don't see any new release of software using it.. I might work on a separate GNOME 2.6 repository on people.mandrakesoft.com (or klama) with Götz help but it is not yet sure.. Thanks for listening.. -- Frederic Crozat MandrakeSoft

I would to raise another point here quickly, but it needs its own thread: shouldn't we force release specific rpms? Too many people are using cooker rpms on stable version. Too many people are using rpms for different versions on their stable version. I've already suggested something like this in a previous thread. I thought about a distribution epoch for all packages, so that official packages are always newer than backported packages. I agree. This would solve the Texstar KDE-3.1.4 for 9.1 upgrade problem (which some users are experiencing). I don't think there is any other solution which would provide for this. This would need some rpm changes, so that a package built on 9.2 would have an epoch of 92 and one build on 10.0 would have epoch 100. But this would be a problem with packages that already has an epoch, as you can use only integer numbers for the epoch tag. It could also cause some problems for Requires/BuildRequires with epoch values? Any BuildRequires/Requires with an existing Epoch value would need to be bumped also, which makes for some additional 'macro-isation' for the packager, and makes it difficult to automate this. The problem of your naming is that you have to change it by hand. I'd like to rebuild a cooker package on a stable distribution version and have it's release changed automatically. Ideally, we should be able to rebuild SRPMS from cooker on any release automatically, and still be able to upgrade them to a newer distro with older base packages. For instance, say mozilla-1.5 goes into cooker. Say it is rebuilt for 9.1 (well, we have this already with the Club 1.5-0.91mdk package). The user upgrades to 9.2, and mozilla-1.4 doesn't ugrade and the user may end up with some problems. I think it the distribution-specific Epoch is to be used, it needs to be done by RPM, and any epoch in a spec file needs to be incremented with the distro epoch. I don't think it is feasible to do it with rpm macros (since you will have trouble with existing epoch values). BTW, for reference some people may want to read the proposal Fedora has, but note that it doesn't address the newer packages on old release than on current release-issue, since their Vepoch is used in the release tag. Also, they don't require the use of the Vepoch it seems.

[Cooker] reliable mirrors . . .
This topic has appeared several times in the past, but needs to be addressed yet again. Now that Cooker is officially opened again for the 10.0 series, could we please try to guarantee more stable mirrors (especially the two main mirrors.)!! Right now - sunsite.uio.no and ftp.sunet.se are horribly out of sync with each other and with the latest updates. This makes it very challenging to keep up to date with rsync and test frequently. We need to have at least ONE main reference server which is reliable!!! Maybe someone should be a mirror monitor and be the main point of contact with the mirror owners when something goes wrong!

The same wlan device is commonly used in IBM notebooks (cf. e.g. http://www.balukoff.com/~stephen/a30p/ where descriptions of how to get the wlan device to work with linux are given). There is also an integrated SiS900 10/100 Ethernet controller (assigned to eth0; the installation process assigns the wlan device to eth1). /proc/pci identifies the wlan device as: Bus 0, device 5, function 0: Network controller: Harris Semiconductor Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 1). IRQ 9. Master Capable. Latency=64. Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe8006000 [0xe8006fff]. The vendor device code is 1260:3873 During installation (or later, in DrakConnect), the device is set up with the orinoco_pci kernel module. The module is loaded without incident, but once the system tries connect to the device (e.g. during the installation's network configuration step, unless one skips this step), the system locks up completely, requiring a hard reset (as everything is installed already, MDK 9.1 boots OK afterwards - but without internet connection set up, even on eth0). According to http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Orinoco.html under the header Issues and release notes, Prism2.5 PCI cards are not supported and neither are miniPCI based on the PCI card (and not using a PCI-PCMCIA bridge). SuSE 8.1 does the same thing as MDK 9.1 as regards identification of the wlan device and (erroneous) relation to orinoco_pci, but as the SuSE installation only attempts to configure the main ethernet controller (i.e. no attempt is made to setting up the wlan device), the result is not as disastrous (at least for a newbie linux user!) as with the MDK 9.1 installation. Red Hat 9 doesn't seem to include any wlan kernel modules at all, so RH9 simply ignores the wlan device. As MDK 9.1 comes with the linux-wlan-ng kernel modules as well (prism2_pci etc.), I tried to modprobe prism2_pci - however getting the error described by another user (with the same wlan device) here: http://www.nclug.org/pipermail/nclug/2003-January/004856.html Perhaps the system assumes a PCI-PCMCIA bridge device rather than a native PCI device? A _temporary_ solution to the problem, would be to make a patch to the MDK 9.1 installation (and HardDrake / DrakConnect) so that it _ignores_ the device rather than attempting to use the orinoco drivers (which locks up the system). A _permanent_ solution would be to configure the linux-wlan-ng or, possibly, the host-ap driver to work with the device.

Re: [Cooker] FHS 2.3 (fwd)
One reason the proposal came up for /srv is that the fhs is commonly asked by sysadmins for guidance as to where they should put data for services. On linux at least, /var/www and /home/www is common, though neither seem to fit into the definitions for those areas. Is it so hard to broaden the definition of /var then? The structure under /srv has been left undefined, with some suggestions as a non-normative rationale. Being that the structure under /srv is left undefined we still end up with the same mess. /srv/database/postgresql or /srv/postgresql or /src/disk1/postgresql This does not solve a problem: /srv will still be a mess from distro to distro. Or, even worse, some distros may ignore /srv sticking to the previous LSB/FHS (undefined) waiting for clarification or changes in future versions of the FHS. So we'll end up with both /var /home /srv depending on the flavor of linux. No, the rationale states that data of interest to a specific user should go in that user's home directory. Here is the full text of the rationale: This main purpose of specifying this is so that users may find the location of the data files for particular service, and so that services which require a single tree for readonly data, writable data and scripts (such as cgi scripts) can be reasonably placed. Data that is only of interest to a specific user should go in that users home directory. The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified as there is currently no consensus on how this should be done. One method for structuring data under /srv is by protocol, eg. ftp, rsync, www, and cvs. On large systems it can be useful to structure /srv by administrative context, such as /srv/physics/www, /srv/compsci/cvs, etc. This setup will differ from host to host. Therefore, no program should rely on these locations. This assumes data is arranged and stored in seprate places based off of services. rsync, cvs, ftp, and www can easily share the same target data. Yup, we don't have FHS police :-) Admins do make local changes. In this case its more about setting up defaults for applications/packages to place or access their data. Then please keep it out of / . If this is just to be a dumping ground for apps to leave their default junk we don't need to clutter up / with another dir do we? /var seems to have always been the ugly stepchild of unwanted crap... I'm fine with adding more to it... ;) The /media entry doesn't bother me... but I'd rather see them redefine /mnt to be what most use it for anyway: exactly what they propose /media does. I can already visualize my inbox filling up for the mdk10 upgrade, /mnt/cdrom is GONE!!! please FIX At the moment on linux we have /mnt/cdrom, /cdrom and /media/cdrom used. The main objection to /mnt/cdrom has been the older unix tradition of using /mnt as a temporary mount kind of scratch area. Though I do wonder how much this really matters these days.

Re: [Cooker] Bad performance with supermount and usbstick
On Wednesday 05 November 2003 01:19, Oliver Lemke wrote: So, here are the results from my test. Exercise was to copy the kernel rpm from media to hd using dd. First with CD-ROM (Toshiba FireWire DVD-ROM): Direct mount: 2327 KB/sec 6%CPU Supermount:1321 KB/sec 9%CPU 43% performance regression Now with Lexar USB stick: Direct mount: 731 KB/sec 2%CPU Supermount:24 KB/sec 42%CPU 97% performance regression and cpu usage jumps up by 40 percent :-( Test was done with kernel 2.4.22-23mdk-i686-up-4GB. Are there any parameters to tweak supermount? I found nothing in the ReadMe on SF.net. Short answer - mount with noatime,nodiratime this should give you the same level of regression as on CD-ROM. It is as much as can be done currently Long answer. Supermount attempts to keep subfs mounted rw for as short time as possible to ensure consistency. When file is open for reading it does not normally require subfs be remounted rw - unless we have to update atime. Currently it is done on every read request - subfs is remounted rw before actual read is executed and remounted back ro after it has completed. And before remounting rw supermount attempts to ensure you can't accidentally remove media and tries to lock tray. This would not actually be as bad - but kernel assumes that if device is removable it also can lock tray. USB sticks apparently declare themselves as removables (mine does for sure). Which means that driver sends *real* command to device. Meaning that every time we have to - send LOCK command - remount RW - do read - remount RO (implicitly flushing at least one block with changed inode) - send UNLOCK command note that almost all of this is done synchronously thus eliminating any effect of kernel read-ahead :( well it is rather unfortunate trade-off between security and speed. I am open for suggestions but I do not see what can be done easily. Even removing useless LOCK/UNLOCK commands would speed things up but I do not know if SCSI provides any direct information about this capability (apparently not). As for CD-ROM it is slower simply due to media change checks. They are executed synchronously as well so it will be slower. May be this can be relaxed. I again need some feedback. regards -andrey

Nope, that is working fine here.
hmm ... I wonder if I did something wrong or it has changed recently. Now my
USB stick appears as removable device but I definitely remember that under
2.4 (do not rememeber exact version) I tested it and it was never remounted.
Other problem is when I connect two
different usb sticks one after the other. Plugging in the first one
creates /dev/{sda,sda1}. After removing it and plugging in another stick
/dev/{sdb,sdb1} are created and mount point is /mnt/removable2.
Doing a rmmod usb-storage before inserting the second stick fixes that.
it is not a bug it is by design :) In 2.4 kernel keeps track of USB UUIDs and
reserves once allocated host number in case you insert it again so it gets
the same device. So it is not a bug it is a feature :)
2.6 drops it completely in favor of user-level tools that currently do not
seem to exist (in a form suitable for deployment in real world that is).

Re: [Cooker] FHS 2.3 (fwd)
Bryan, I think you managed to drop the cc, I don't think Chris is cc'ed. One reason the proposal came up for /srv is that the fhs is commonly asked by sysadmins for guidance as to where they should put data for services. On linux at least, /var/www and /home/www is common, though neither seem to fit into the definitions for those areas. Is it so hard to broaden the definition of /var then? IMHO the definition doesn't get any broader anyway. In the case where you have a large volume of data in /var/www, you most likely have a database supporting that data in /var/lib/mysql, and you would have planned ahead for this and created a large /var, or partitioned it better to allow quota use etc. There is a distinction between the types of data we have in /var though. We have data that could be used by multiple pieces of software (/var/www by any web server, /var/spool/mail by different MTAs), then we have data that is specific to the software (/var/spool/postfix, /var/spool/imap, /var/lib/urpmi, /var/lib/mysql etc etc). The structure under /srv has been left undefined, with some suggestions as a non-normative rationale. Being that the structure under /srv is left undefined we still end up with the same mess. /srv/database/postgresql or /srv/postgresql or /src/disk1/postgresql Yes, I see no advantage to just moving most of /var into /srv. This does not solve a problem: /srv will still be a mess from distro to distro. Or, even worse, some distros may ignore /srv sticking to the previous LSB/FHS (undefined) waiting for clarification or changes in future versions of the FHS. So we'll end up with both /var /home /srv depending on the flavor of linux. And symlink mess between them, some symlinks in /var pointing to /srv/X, some symlinks in /var/lib pointing to /srv/Y etc. No, the rationale states that data of interest to a specific user should go in that user's home directory. Here is the full text of the rationale: This main purpose of specifying this is so that users may find the location of the data files for particular service, and so that services which require a single tree for readonly data, writable data and scripts (such as cgi scripts) can be reasonably placed. IMHO, scripts don't belong in /var (for samba we place supporting scripts in shell and perl in /usr/share/samba or /usr/share/samba3 which is IMHO a more sane location), but neither do they belong in some other location. We use /var/lib/samba for other non-user-specific data that should be available by default, so we have /var/lib/samba/printers for Windows printer drivers, /var/lib/samba/profiles for user profiles (which shouldn't really be in $HOME) and /var/lib/samba/netlogon for login scripts etc. I don't see the sense in placing this all in /srv. On existing servers, this will only mean more headaches for admins who must either symlink everything (and rpm doesn't deal well with changing a filesystem entry from a symlink to a directory and vice-versa so the admin has more headaches ahead with this method) or repartitioning (since / is likely too small to hold /srv too) or remounting /var/ (or some directory below it) under /src (which will likely require a reboot or at least dropping to single). And I don't see any benefit in this. Data that is only of interest to a specific user should go in that users home directory. The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified as there is currently no consensus on how this should be done. One method for structuring data under /srv is by protocol, eg. ftp, rsync, www, and cvs. On large systems it can be useful to structure /srv by administrative context, such as /srv/physics/www, /srv/compsci/cvs, etc. This setup will differ from host to host. Therefore, no program should rely on these locations. This assumes data is arranged and stored in seprate places based off of services. rsync, cvs, ftp, and www can easily share the same target data. Yup, we don't have FHS police :-) Admins do make local changes. In this case its more about setting up defaults for applications/packages to place or access their data. Then please keep it out of / . If this is just to be a dumping ground for apps to leave their default junk we don't need to clutter up / with another dir do we? /var seems to have always been the ugly stepchild of unwanted crap... I'm fine with adding more to it... ;) My issue is that I really don't like typing extra keys unless really necessary. One of the nice things about linux used to be that you could hit two keys per directory level and get quite far. Now I am going to have to type: /sb[TAB]/ifco[TAB] instead of /s[TAB]/ifco[TAB]. Please don't pollute / any more (one of the reasons I hate Windows is polluted root directories due to lack of structure by most users ...). The /media entry doesn't bother me... but I'd rather see them redefine /mnt to be what most use it for anyway: exactly

My issue is that I really don't like typing extra keys unless really
necessary. One of the nice things about linux used to be that you could
hit two keys per directory level and get quite far. Now I am going to have
to type:
/sb[TAB]/ifco[TAB] instead of /s[TAB]/ifco[TAB].
oh crap... I didn't even think of that till you mentioned it...
I know what you mean tho. I took over a solaris server and the previous
SA used /user for user data that jacked up my tab'n for /usr .
Please don't pollute / any more (one of the reasons I hate Windows is
polluted root directories due to lack of structure by most users ...).
Exactly. Var is already a mess, lets not turn / into a mess also...
Well, /mnt/cdrom is normally temporary, as is /mnt/floppy. And again, this
is increasing the tpying I have to do (even in a graphical file manager
like Konqueror typing is quite a bit faster to get to a directory you know
the location of) if /mnt is retained and /media added.
If someone really wants a scratch mount area, they can make /mnt/tmp or
similar (this is what I do, usually for loopback mounts).
However, /media is a lot more descriptive than /mnt, but then it looks
quite out of place in /, being the longest directory name now
It's a toss up, I don't care one way or another personally I create
a new directory for a temp mount then remove it when i'm done
everytime... With a team of SA's I don't want to mount over /mnt when
another had already has a mount there... and checking if a directory has
already been mounted gets old real fast... ;)
If /media is used instead of /mnt I'll just delete /mnt to keep /
cleaner
BTW, we mostly have non-system data in /home/{users,groups,projects,cvs},
but we are quite small ...
we keep our data in /export/{home[1,2,3...],proj[1,2,3]} then autofs
manages /home and /proj with real names via NIS. From the users
prospective all 130+ of our unix/linux boxes look the same in terms of
data location as the only look in /home or /proj...

This would need
some rpm changes, so that a package built on 9.2 would have an
epoch of 92 and one build on 10.0 would have epoch 100. But this
would be a problem with packages that already has an epoch, as you
can use only integer numbers for the epoch tag.
It could also cause some problems for Requires/BuildRequires with
epoch values? Any BuildRequires/Requires with an existing Epoch value
would need to be bumped also, which makes for some additional
'macro-isation' for the packager, and makes it difficult to automate
this.
How big can the epoch be?
Existing, or absolute maximum?
$ rpm -qp --qf %{EPOCH}\n libarts1-1.1.3-7mdk.i586.rpm
3001
:-(
But, 30092001 is still bigger than 30091001
If you used release * 100 + existing, would
that work? So if a package was up to epoch 42, you would get 9242 for
the current release and 10042 for the same package aimed at 10.0.
Yes, this is the idea.
Next question, how about switching to even release numbers for stable
releases and odd for Cooker? That would make the epoch 9342 for the
pre-10.0 Cooker, 10042 for the 10.0 release, 10142 for the post-10.0
Cooker, 10242 for the next release (10.2, there is no 10.1), presuming
that no version bumps happened in between times.
I had wondered about possibly having an approach closer to what FreeBSD
has, where we have a 9.x branch and a 10.x branch, and after a certain
point, end-users should be happy to test with it, and at some point goes
into maintenance.
It might be better to combind both ideas, but this doesn't have too large
an impact on using the epochs or not (although it may be an advantage of
managing the epochs well).
This would violate tradition in that the releases would go 9.2, 10.0,
10.2, 10.4, 11.0,... but it would be understandable to anyone used to
the kernel versioning system and ordinary end-users shouldn't notice
much or care much either.
If we have room for one more digit, we could use that for the alpha,
beta and RC releases; so 93042 is the Cooker version of the package,
93142 is the alpha, betas run from 93242 to as high as 93542 then RCs
from 93642 up to (heaven forbid) a potential 93942, then 100042 for the
10.0 final.
I don't think the epoch should be abused like that. Sub-release numbers
(ie 0.alpha24.3mdk) are fine for this.
How much of this could we do without confusing people too much? How
complex would it be to set up the corresponding RPM macros?
I don't think rpm macros will be a good solution, since any buildrequires
with epoch values will need to be adjusted, so either we're going to be
doing shell arithmetic in rpm macros for the epoch values, or rpm needs to
be appropriately hacked ...

Re: [Cooker] Want to do a magazine CD with 9.2 plus LG-proof kernel
On Fri, 7 Nov 2003 04:48, Pascal Terjan wrote: I'm pretty sure the magazine didn't even bother to tell Mandrakesoft they'll distibute the 9.2... OK... I'm planning to include a slightly-less-than-single-ISO version of 9.2 plus the updates and an LG-proof kernel on the cover of an Australian magazine. It will be aimed at a single purpose: installing a secure, database-backed Mandrake Linux webserver/mailserver/gateway machine for developers to use either for real or as a staging area or an intranet server/testbed. You might want to consider a live CD version ... (if it's prime purpose isn't for installation, but more for demo). What are the rules Mandrake would like me to follow? For example, if I include a PLF package or the NVidia/ATI drivers, what must I change? The distro's name? Licence terms? What can I do with the advertising screens? Are Mandrake happy for me to add extra images to the sequence, one to loudly remind the audience that this is not an official Mandrake distribution - it's been built for the magazine - one to advertise Linux contacts in Australia, and so on? You probably want to replace mandrake_theme at least. IMHO bootsplash-themes should have subpackages, which preferably provide mandrake_theme if they have the backgrounds and lilo splash screen. What else? Well, if we get an answer on this, can we get it on the Wiki. This really needs to be documented, considering Fedora is now a better option for this (all RH artwork removed, all fedora artwork in fedora* packages) Regards, Buchan

Epoch should not be used to fix binary incompatibilities. Example: to allow upgrading downgrading mozilla/galeon/etc., all moz libraries that are used by other packages must be in a separate package, and have a major version number. If binary incompatible compiler versions must be taken into account, the compiler version must be added as well. So instead of libxpcom.so in package mozilla, you have libxpcom-1.4-3.3.so.0.0 in package libmozilla1.4_3.3-1.4-2mdk (libxpcom of mozilla 1.4 compiled with g++ 3.3, binary incompatible with libxpcom-1.4-3.1.so.0.0 and libxpcom-1.3-3.3.so.0.0) (the exact placement of the library versions may be different, I don't know what's best) Then it is possible to have mozilla 1.5 installed, together with a galeon that requires mozilla 1.3. Upgrading a mdk 9.1 with these packages to mdk 9.2 does not upgrade mozilla, but does upgrade galeon, and everything still works. Christiaan

I installed Mandrake9.2RC2 with shorewall firewall and was having problems
making ftp transfers. After some investigation I determined that the problem was
that shorewall wasn't loading the ip_conntrack_ftp kernel module although that
module was listed in /etd/shorewall/modules.
The reason why the module wasn't being loaded is that the kernel module is
compressed in a file called ip_conntrack.o.gz and shorewall was searching for a
file called ip_conntrack_ftp.gz The patch bellow fixes the problem:

Maybe the USB cable is bad? I tried it on several motherboards and both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, so I'm sure it's device specific. From the kernel mailing list, it seems that these kind of errors are not uncommon, but that still gets me nowhere. Is there any other way I can find out the hardware ID or the chipset manufacturer? The company seems to be unresponsive.

[Cooker] Suggestion for Frozen Bubble
This may not be the place, but since this is a Mandrake associated program, I thought it might be. I spent awhile playing Frozen Bubble tonight. It is very addicting. Anyway, I was think that it would be interesting to not just know how many levels I completed, but also how many shots it took me to get there. If my wife and I have both made it through level 33, we have tied for the high score, but if I can get through level 33 with 10 fewer shots than she does, that means I win, Right? :-) Or is the time it takes to get there supposed to be the tiebreaker? -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx

For Danny and Buchan, I have been using your test rpms for ATI kernel modules and Win4Lin together on my Thinkpad for about four hours now without any problems.

Re: Cannot boot 9.1 after OSX installation
Hi all! Yesterday I installed the new OSX Panther on my ibook. Now I cannot boot Linux. My boot partition is on /dev/hda11, swap on 12 and my system on 13. I tried the rescue-system with mount /dev/hda11 /mnt -- dont work, because must specifie the partition type then mount /dev/hda13 /mnt and chroot /mnt ybin -v .. After reboot no bootmanager again. Any ideas? I'm surprised ybin didn't complain about no /proc mounted. Normally you need to mount /proc in the chroot also. You wouldn't normally want to mount the bootstrap, if that's what you're referring to on hda11. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft Today I tried mkofboot, no errors but no bootmanager too. After reboot always OSX is starting What had I best do? New installation? Bye! Andreas
