Yes, it is a firmware bug, and yes, the LG drives are responsible for this. But, it is Mandrakes own fault that this happens. If you take beta / heavy modified kernels instead of kernels that have been tested by the entire linux community, you can expect things like these to happen. True, strange that this bug was able to tunnel trough all RCs, but this once again proves that it's better to use the entire linux community as testers instead of a few beta testers, i.e. use only stock kernels. Mandrake is not a linux distribution known for stability, let's please take stability as top priority for Mandrake 10.0. This way Mandrake will get the good name that belongs to such a cool distribution. Jos

If you build postfix with mysql support (or XYZ support for that matter) postfix binaries will be linked with mysql libraries, and they won't run if mysql libraries are not installed. maybe we could add custom postfix builds to the contrib? the only problem i have with this is that it makes the spec-file a mess. > bccz> We are making progress, but it is slow, but it doesn't help if you > bccz> complain ... > It doesn't have to be slow.

We should drop support for all hardware not in the kernel ? To give a example, my usb modem, and so we should let the newbies patch their own kernel. Yes why not. After all, they will not know how to do this, but, if they want something that simply works, they should take windows instead. This is simply not the way mandrake works. If you want a default kernel, you can take the kernel-marcelo package. If you want something with 6 month of test on a 3 years old kernel, take debian. And now imagine this : we use stock kernel as all distibution in the world, and this bug now remains undiscovered. It will be here for 3 years, fry some cd readers, but, since they do not have anything in common, all people just say that lg drive are crap. and the bug continue to fry cdrom drive for years. In fact, since nobody would expect a kernel to fry a cdrom drive, i think that no one would have fill a bug report. It may even remain undiscovered until kernel 4.2, when ide will maybe no longer supported. I have 3 dead drives, and one of them simply stop working one day ( creative dvd ). Maybe it was something like this. Maybe not. What if the patch goes in the main stream kernel, and the bug still remains undiscovered, for the same reason ? It will do more harm. But since no newbie will ever post on lkml to say 'kernel fried my cdrom drive', it will not be discovered. Or not in 1 week. Maybe one year, until one distro ship a kernel and people start complaining. So, using stock kernel wouldn't have change anything. I do not know if the error is recoverable ( ie reflashing the firmware ), but, this is clearly not a problem on mandrake side. They have done more than one month testing, and the bug passed all RC and betas. In fact, maybe someone fried his drive and think it burned because it worked too long. All i hope is that LG give updated firmware, and instruction on how to recover the disk. > Mandrake is not a linux distribution known for stability, let's > please take stability as top priority for Mandrake 10.0. This way > Mandrake will get the good name that belongs to such a cool > distribution. And so, what do you propose ? To have a 3 month freeze period ? To use one year old software ? We do as much as we can for stability, but, as you have seen, some bugs remains undiscovered even with 4 or 5 beta releases. And i do not think that adding 10 releases would really help. -- Michaël Scherer
[Cooker] [Bug 6228] [fontconfig] New: Some sites have jagged fonts
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6228 Summary: Some sites have jagged fonts Product: fontconfig Version: 2.2.1-5mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: fontconfig AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] No matter what browser I use, and what fonts I use in the kde/gnome control center, when I go to some sites I always get nonantialiased, jagged fonts. For example the mandrake club. This is very ugly: just look at the italic fonts. Also non italic fonts are not ok: small fonts do look well, but medium and large fonts don't. I would like an option in the mandrake control center to say "always use antialiased fonts for WEB-BROWSING". (On the other hand, I still want to use the default font in konsole, which is not antialiasing). Debian's fontconfig prompts you with that question. Better yet would be: "always use antialiased fonts if the font size is over XXX". -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

AFAIK (I may be wrong), SuSE has been shipping with this patch for quite a while (AFAIK it is their patch), and there have been some reports of SuSE doing the same thing to LG drives ... And, if no-one found this problem before, in a well-known patch which is supposed to be merged into 2.6.x, how was it going to be found? > True, strange that this bug was able to tunnel trough all RCs, > but this once again proves that it's better to use the entire linux > community as testers instead of a few beta testers, i.e. use only stock > kernels. OK, so you want us to ship with a totally vanilla kernel? No XFS? OSS only (no ALSA)? No software suspend? No ACLs? No cloop? No CIFS? BTW, there is a vanilla kernel in contrib. How many people actually run it? > Mandrake is not a linux distribution known for stability, let's please > take stability as top priority for Mandrake 10.0. My servers tell me otherwise (some machines with clients I haven't seen in over a year because they haven't ever had problems with them). They wouldn't be running Mandrake without ACLs/XFS (which is one reason they don't run Redhat BTW, it's too much work to get a real samba server running on Redhat and a few other distros which have kernels without the features I need). > This way Mandrake > will get the good name that belongs to such a cool distribution.

My drive is fried (returned it for money allready) The same drive with newer firmware on other machines did not get killed. I have tried to flash it afterwards and it didn'tr help, it was the same as before. So no need to try it . Hope that helps other people. Steffen

While reading slashdot, I found this comment interesting (yes, that does happen on slashdot :-) ) http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=83579&cid=7310813 "Why is Linux trying to send a flush cache command to a CD-ROM drive in the first place? That's a stupid thing to do. The ATAPI FLUSH CACHE command tells the device to flush its write cache to the media. A CD-ROM has no write cache, and can't write to any media. Of course, it's even more stupid for a drive to self-destruct when it gets a flush cache command..." Is this maybe 2 bugs "working together"?

I really hope you guys don't take the heat for this in the court of public opinion. /. posted a really badly researched post on this (with a bad title too), but it seems public opinion is that hardware shouldn't be vulnerable. Yes, the comments with enough points to be visible by default are positive wrt mandrake and negative wrt lg hardware problem. Now, one thing I read in one of those comments is that the fix was to simply remove packet writing capabilities. Is that true? If so I don't think is a good idea do disable a useful functionality for all users due to some defective drives.

[Cooker] newer gideon/kdevelop3 packages
Hi, I uploaded a new version of my gideon/kdevelop3 packages.

[Cooker] [Bug 6229] [kdebase] New: KDE subpixel hinting disrupts fonts appearance irrevocably.
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6229 Summary: KDE subpixel hinting disrupts fonts appearance irrevocably. Product: kdebase Version: 3.1.3-9mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: kdebase AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1) do fresh install of mandrake 9.2. Select kde. 2) set the luxi sans font in the kde control center (you can skip this point but it makes the problem more apparent). 3) now fonts look very good. 4) in the kde control center, turn on subpixel hinting. The fonts become ugly: they are smudged. (just look at the "e" or "w" letters to see what I mean). They are also thinner. This ugliness also affects gnome, so I presume kde is doing something nasty to fontconfig. 5) Since I don't like it, I try to revert to the previous looks, by turning subpixel hinting off again. But the fonts remain thin and ugly. There is no way to revert to the beautiful fonts of default mandrake. This is a bug IMO. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I've done a bunch of these. Best results I've come up with have resulted from taking an outline of the shadowed subjects with the "intelligent scissors", feathering by a couple pixels, inverting the selection and darkening the overbright part, then selecting none and gamma correcting the whole photo. Usually after that the saturation needs some tweaking and probably the colors need a little correcting, and most digital cameras seem to introduce diginoise into the overly darkened areas that's visible when you brighten them. This is pretty off-topic so please contact me offlist if you need more tips. Rob

The file list can be made automatically, but you cannot use a simple 'find %{buildroot} -type d |sed -e "s,%{buildroot},,g" to choose which directories you own. Since there aren't that many directories, yes, paste your directory list into the spec file and take out any directories that should be owned by another package (ie only leave those directories which have the package name as the last component or something like that). This might do: find %{buildroot} -type d |sed -e "s,%{buildroot},,g"|grep '%{name}$' Regards, Buchan

LB> well, if you insist i'll just state it works correctly for me. LB> but if you try and give some more useful info (eg output of commands) LB> we could see if it is a bug or another problem. Well this was with 9.1 haven't had the time to test it with 9.2. Anyway the situation was something like this: lvm was set on top of raid 1. / was on /dev/root/2. vgscan showed the volume active but other utilities (vgdisplay, lmdispaly) showed it inactive. I noticed this when I tried to modify lilo with raid-extra-boot= mbr-only. Lilo complained that it cannot find /dev/root/2. And indeed /dev/root/2 was nonexisting. I rerun installation and there it was (/dev/root/2). So something went wrong since in installation i could see /dev/root/2. I modified some of the init scripts but it didn't work. I didn't spend much time on this since it was just an experiment, I was truing to build a cheap software raid1 as a protection against hard drive failures but i also wanted an easy way to add extra storage.

Pantone is the Microsoft of inks: http://www.pantone.com/ The market is locked, absolutely unfree. They need we take care of them ! ;-) But some people have found that photoshop was used in Mandrake. Olivier Thauvin has a quick way to solve the problem and avoid any remark. But the problem will be hidden only. this does not solve any problem but only hide the fact that the professional printing processing is all made of proprietary softwares :-( Well, often there is so many unprofessionism in the so called "professional printing processing". I often found press lab which prints using Creo 100,000€ machines (for producing directly the plates) which doesn't distinguish a PostScript from a PDF file or don't know even the DPIs of their devices... IMHO the main obstable is the Pantone proprietary system. For the rest there seems also lack of knowledge. For instance have you noticed that almost none of the Canon digital camera supports non-lossy compression but only JPG? In this field some vendor uses TIFF, but I never found yet a digital camera able to save in PNG format... (but such format exists since a long time...). Bye. Giuseppe.

In bash, i don't think it is possible. Well, you could do it like autoconf does it. In configure, it checks for sys/param.h if it defines the byte order, if not, it uses a little c-program: main () { /* Are we little or big endian? From Harbison&Steele. */ union { long l; char c[sizeof (long)]; } u; u.l = 1; exit (u.c[sizeof (long) - 1] == 1); } But why do you need it?

Probably the solution is to allow software ike GIMP to import files supplied by Pantone, Inc., which people wanting to use commercial print services would have to pay for. If you're paying for a print run of 5,000 pictures of nude politicians, the cost of the colour pallette is relatively small. Having said that, there are a lot of other things GIMP would need to compete with PhotoShop in the professional pre-print world... Some that spring to mind include * trapping, colour separation, undercolour removal, hexachrome support (this is where the printing press has 6 colours), duotone and tritone support, controls for bleed and dot gain, together with support for generating files at any given lines per inch (this is not the same as dpi, it's for screening, and control over screen angle is needed) * support for reading PhotoShop files (there's some of that already) * maybe support for PhostoShop plugins? Not sure how possible this is We'd also need something like Illustrator... sodipodi doesn't cut it... and Quark, where neither OpenOffice nor scribus is there. I think we're several years away from being able to consider Linux as a strong platform for graphic design work. In the meantime, it really isn't worth fighting a battle with people who use PhostoShop for a living, as they're not going to move to Linux.

But, if you know that Perl is installed (via other dependencies, or whatever), you could run a little Perl script from bash to tell you which endian is in use. E.g., endian=`perl -e 'if (unpack("V", pack "L", 0x1234) == 0x1234) {print "l";}else{print "b";}'` will assign either 'l' or 'b' to $endian. -Bill

[Cooker] [Bug 6207] [mailman] Why config of mailman abide in /usr ?!!
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6207 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What|Removed |Added Status||UNCONFIRMED --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-23 18:31 --- That is mostly an upstream problem. Some times ago, the question could also have been: why is configuration in /var/lib ? Default mailman install use a single top-level directory install, usually in /var/lib. However, it also allows a configure option to split files between variables files, that goes in /var/lib, and non-variables files, that goes in /usr/share, wich is standard Unix setup. I recently switched the package to use the latest setup. However, configuration in mailman, as in many python software, takes the form of a python source file. msec does the same, for instance. But msec place this file in /etc, with write access for python to keep the compiled version, whereas mailman keep it in /usr/share among other python source files. Maybe just using symlink would be OK, otherwise we would have to ask the developper to allows mm_cfg.py to be in /etc instead. BTW, mailman is not the only one software to use non-standard location for configuration files. Most webapps does the same, whereas they have some sort of cross-platform compatibility excuse. KDE does also the same, and use /usr/share/config, and I never saw any actual reason for this, as it is pure Unix software... --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-27 06:47 --- And one more thing - your own post-unstall script look for mmsitepass in /var!! ---8<--- # rpm -Uhv ../RPMS/mailman-2.1.2-9mdk.i586.rpm Preparing...### [100%] 1:mailman### [100%] Post-install compilation...
