Praxis

Nah, I didn't realize it either, I was just searching for posts about radeon dual monitor and didn't look too carefully at the date. Unfortunately I have a Radeon 7000 so the fglrx driver is out (actually, given what I read about fglrx that may not be so bad). So I'm falling back to hacking my xorg.conf and using xrandr commands. I agree you don't have to always have the latest version, but support for Mandriva builds stops after 18 months, and upgrades from much older versions isn't supported. As the release notes for 2009 says, upgrade from 2007.1 isn't supported and if it breaks you get to keep both pieces. FWIW, this was a Mandriva 2006 install originally that I believe I've upgraded 3 times.

Wish I could offer words of advise. Mandriva 2009 has been a bear to get working with my Radeon 7000 dual VGA (works fine in Ubuntu Hardy). Part of it is probably Xorg 7.3, which I get the feeling is right up there with KDE 4 in terms of beta quality. I'm afraid the year before last may have been the year of the Linux desktop. Mandriva doesn't have a good tool set to deal with dual monitors (and with awilliamson gone, probably no one to help normal users in these forums). drakx11 is very limited in what it will let you do. The krandrtray implementation doesn't offer much help. as near as I can figure. Probably your best hope is to avoid Mandriva GUI tools altogether (but then what's the point of a newbie user friendly distro like Mandriva?) and look over the documentation at xorg itself. Play around with the xrandr commands. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2 For myself, I'm just sick of wrestling with Mandriva every 6 months or a year to get a working system, so I think I'm going to blow away my Mandriva 2009 partitions on my two computers and install Debian stable.

[quote name='adamw' post='331803' date='Oct 24 2007, 10:51 AM']Firefox 2.0.0.7 had no relevance to Linux. It fixed a bug that only mattered to Windows. We therefore didn't ship it as a security update, and didn't break the 2008 version freeze to include it. 2.0.0.8 does have relevance for Linux, and it was released as an official update for 2008 and 2007.1 yesterday.[/quote] That makes sense, I now have 2.0.0.8. I formally withdraw my quibble. [quote name='adamw' post='331803' date='Oct 24 2007, 10:51 AM']I believe rpmdrake actually has an interface for merging rpmnew files when you do updates via rpmdrake, but yes, perhaps it could be added to the installer too.[/quote] That would be a niceness. Ubuntu's Update Manager works acceptably well if you are sufficiently geeky, but still could use some polish (showing the files side by side, highlighting the differences, highlighting user-made changes, giving you can change to edit the file and backup the old one).

You left out the 'cp'. :)[/quote] I guess I was tired as well as not too bright, it works now. BTW, thanks for the kind words, Zac, I really am not very technically inclined and it is all Black Magic to me. I just consult tombs of arcane incantations (mostly Google) and mutter the spells I find and sometimes a nice rose grows out of a pile of poop. Its not like I ever wanted to learn all this stuff, it is just that everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Computers are awfully finicky, complex, buggy beasts, and I had the same experience in my Windows days, both with hardware and software. After a while I acquired a fair body of knowledge and found myself being required to trouble shoot (and build) systems for friends and family. But Linux really does have rather a steep learning curve for all its advances. Upgrades in particular are always problematic. T.S. Eliot was only partially right, [url="http://www.bartleby.com/201/1.html"]April is the cruelest month[/url], but so is October, because that is when the major distros tend to issue releases. You look forward to them for months, bittorrent them as soon as they are released, burn the discs and upgrade when you have a chance, and it often ends in tears if you are upgrading existing systems. For instance, I have recently updated four systems, each of them required fairly significant use of the command line to get in an acceptable state. [indent] Mandriva 2007.1 to 2008 OpenSUSE 10.2 AMD64 to 10.3 AMD64 Kubuntu Feisty to Gutsy[/indent] The fourth is still FUBAR, I'm afraid, an attempt to upgrade a Mandriva 2006 box to 2008. In terms of hardware, it is very similar to the 2007.1 upgrade box (same board, dual monitor, a Radeon AGP and Rage ATI card), but the upgrade didn't work & adamw may be just the man to poke me in the right direction if he (presumably) is still monitoring this thread (I ran across his blog when I was researching possible solutions, and I gather he is a Mandriva developer concerned with video drivers). The upgrade process was similar to the first one except that instead of accepting the default GRUB layout which it appears used the first item on my old menu.lst I made a new default entry and was able to find the correct kernel and initrd with the GUI. Even that would have been opaque to a complete beginner, but it worked for me and I booted to a lovely black login prompt, no X at all. I verified that I was using the correct kernel, updated the system with all the update and contrib repositories, copied over the rpmnew files that I wanted, and played around with hand editing the xorg.conf and using drakx11 and XFdrak a fair bit, but couldn't get a GUI to save my life, even when I asked the system-deities (drakx11) to only to configure the first Radeon video card and disabled all the bells and whistles (GLX, etc.). I tried using a variety of drivers, vesa, ati, radeon (which I gather is just another name for ati), etc. I even imported my working xorg.conf from my other new 2008 box, adjusting the BusID. XFdrak Tests & "startx" would just give me a band of green and blue at the top of my main monitor on the Radeon card for a second and bounce me back to text mode, while coughing up a variety of error messages.

Thanks for the hint, copying the 3 rpmnew files in /etc/pam.d over the originals did indeed clear up that problem. I did an updatedb to use 'locate' and realized that by default Mandriva doesn't index vfat file systems or permanent network mounts, oh well, not too hard to edit /etc/updatedb.conf, but seems like most other distros tend to index a little more. I got to practice my CLI-fu figuring out how to back up the new and old files to my root's directory, stuff like: I'd never (consciously) used XARGS before to pipe things around, very handy. I looked around and saved my old files that I'd modified like hosts, fstab, etc. I didn't know what to do with the binary /etc/localtime file, since I couldn't look at it, but I copied the new version over anyway, figuring I could straighten it out later if there was a problem. I edited the smb.conf to incorporate some my old settings, figuring some of the new verbiage might help. Some files didn't want to let me copy them over, they were probably system logs in use: All and all a pretty tedious process that would flummox a newcomer (not that I'm an expert, Lord no!), but I can see why it would be necessary. Maybe a mention of the process would have been appropriate in the Release Notes. Gosh, some sort of GUI that allowed me to look at both files and copy the modified new ones afterwards would have been helpful. apt-get has a leg up in this respect, it tells you when you are modifying a file and lets you compare your file to the original. Showing you the files side by side and letting you edit them at the time would be nice, & then and then automatically install the newer files when you are satisfied. Also it would be nice to have the ability to automatically back up all your old config files to a central place in case you need to look at them later. You were quite right about beryl-manager being removed when I ran my first "urpmi --auto-select" (which I was in the process of doing as I composed my post last night). But other packages still seem a little creaky even with the standard updates repository enabled. For instance, I am using Firefox 2.0.0.6, the current version is 2.0.0.8. 2.0.0.6 was released on July 30th, 2007 and replaced by the security fix 2.0.0.7 on September 18th. Mandriva 2008 was released about October 9th. Seems like 20 days would be enough time to include a security fix and it has been over a month and it still isn't in the updates repository. I guess I can install the backports repository, but in my experience that moves me a little too close to Cooker and sometimes I've ended up with a hybrid system and had to make a forced, buggy upgrade, so I resist backports.

I know I should really file a few bug reports, but its late and my dog wants his walk and I'm not registered at the Bugzilla site so I'll just fling a post here for the time being and if other folks have had my issues, maybe I'll try to cobble together a bug report later. (I know, I'm a whiny, useless bitch, you don't have to rub it in.) I realize that with most distros it really is probably faster and easier to just format an old install and start over than upgrade an existing system, but I live in hope that the process will become smoother (as it has a little over time). This computer started out as a Mandriva 2006 box and morphed in to 2007.1 (I think I skipped 2007 on this install, I did do it on another Spring 2007 machine I have). I had a pretty fair share of issues on those upgrades but mostly sorted it out in the end. There is a big enough community of Mandriva users, I figure the same will happen with 2008 if I'm persistent. Onwards... I read the release notes and booted to the 2008 DVD and chose to install, and got as far as Partitioning and chose to update an existing install. Then I got a blue screen and a big white bar and no obvious indication that anything good was happening. But I used Ctrl+Alt+F3 to go to another TTY and ran the 'top' command and it looked like something was going on, that it actually was installing, so I switched to another computer and checked back in periodically. At some point when I used Ctrl+Alt+F1 to check the initial TTY I saw the presumably standard Progress bar with an estimate of how long the install would take. I have a lot of junk on my system, so it took hours, I certainly don't hold that against Mandriva. But a relative newbie might have given up at that point. The installer finished and gave me some configuration options, I looked over my services and tried to play around with the X server (it didn't work, gave me some error, when I tried to test my screen resolution, but I'd backed up my xorg.conf and wasn't too worried). I encouraged the installer to put grub on the /dev/hda MBR and rebooted. I saw a flashy new grub screen with an entry for Mandriva 2008 and figured all was gravy. So I tried to boot to it and it seemed to hang at some 'sensord' message and didn't progress for a few minutes, so I rebooted and got to the same location. I went back to my other computer for a while and when I got back I had INIT 3 login prompt, so I logged in as root, which wasn't easy, since messages kept appearing in the terminal periodically, disrupting what I was doing. I looked over DMESG and saw some failures, stuff about how UDEV wasn't supported by my kernel, so I did a 'uname -r' and realized that I was booting with a kernel I believe from 2006, here is what the boot stanza looked like: Oy, the grub boot screen had showed that paragraph as belonging to 2008. There was no 2.6.22 verbiage anywhere in the menu.lst. (You'd think the installer would have at least used my 2.6.17 kernel from 2007.) So I used looked at what was in the /boot directory and used 'vi' to re-edit the stanza so it looked like this: Then I rebooted and got the KDM and booted in to KDE. That would have been a show-stopper for a less experienced upgrader, not a goodness at all. When I got to KDE most things seemed OK. Xinerama (dual monitors) was working, my chosen wallpaper was replaced by No Picture, but no big deal, the wallpapers I'd put in /usr/share/wallpaper were still there. I noticed that Single clicking chose a file in Konqueror file manager (which I hate, but I know how to fix it in kcontrol, probably a KDE thing not a Mandriva bug). The menus seemed reorganized and I didn't much care for them, but I normally use shortcuts on my panel or the command line for things I use often. One annoyance that would be a real problem for a new user was that the GUI configuration utilities were inaccessible to a regular user. Going to Kmenu-Tools-System Tools-Configure Your Computer spits up a dialogue box with a red circle that says "Unknown error". "drakconf" or "mcc" at the user command line had the same result. "kdesu mcc" would give me a password dialogue box but would not produce the Mandriva Control Center (but no error message, either). Luckily, I could still call it up from a root KONSOLE (actually, I don't use it much, since GUI utilities often seem more trouble than they are worth in Linux and I've gotten used to using the command line for a lot of stuff). One slight weirdness was that the installer had changed the verbiage in my automatically mounted server Samba share in my /etc/fstab from the preferred "file_mode=0777" to the older smbfs wording "fmask=777", though when I manually unmounted the share and remounted the share the terminal would complain that fmask and dmask were deprecated and that I should use file_mode and dir_mode (which I did, Dog Bless VI). Still, something is a little funky with my shares, it seems like I can write to my shares when I am only two levels deep, but as soon as I get three directories in to a share I loose permission to write as a normal user, very annoying. If I create the directories myself I can write deeper than 2 levels, though I haven't tested that after a reboot or anything. UPDATE: However, I found if I changed the mount point from /home/user/mount_point to /mnt/mount_point I could write at least 4 levels deep (which is as far as I tested it). So I guess I can fix this, though all my Konqueror book marks are written for my current set up and I'd have to re-edit them. Anyway, this isn't a problem I've had with any other distro (and I've used many of 'em). What else? Oh, the programs in the standard respository don't seem that up to date, considering how recent 2008 is. Seamonkey, for instance, was at 1.1.1, even though it the official realease was at 1.1.4 when the distro was released (and 1.1.5 now). Once I went through EasyURPMI and added the main-updates repository I was able to upgrade to 1.1.4. You'd think things like that got upgraded more quickly because of security concerns (Seamonkey and Firefox both got a new release last week because of newly discovered vulnerability). One last weirdness I've noted to date, though 2008 uses Compiz-Fusion, I noticed that the Beryl-Manager was installed. I doubt that I installed it since I have an unsupported 3D Rage Pro 215GP card along with my Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200] card in Xinerama, but maybe it is left over from my upgrade to 2007.1. Seems like it should have been automatically removed, though. I really like Mandriva when it gets dialed in, very solid, pretty and nice. I would like to install it on other people's machines (as I have in the past), but Mandriva is only supported for about 18 months and upgrades are 10% less than fun. Something always seems to be broken, and in this case, even the installer didn't do a great job. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Latest wrinkle, I still can't zoom in with KDE & Beryl 2.0, but I noticed that when I used Gnome I could, at least with the left Windows key and the scroll wheel. But the right Windows key doesn't modify the scroll wheel. And I can change the translucency of the window under my cursor by holding the right Alt key and scrolling with the mouse wheel, but the left Alt key doesn't do anything. Very strange, you'd think you'd want the keys that modify Beryl with the scroll wheel to be on the same side of the space bar, otherwise it is very hard to remember which does which. I consider this a bug. And I'd still like to figure out how to zoom with KDE, oh well.

Well, I finally figured out how to fix the USB mounting problem from a post over at the Mandriva Club Forum. Mount of USB removable devices keeps failing in 2007.1 Apparently at least some of us folks who upgraded from 2007 (or 2006 in my case, with some elements of 2007) didn't get the latest kernel patch that was necessary to properly mount removable media and need to upgrade their kernel. Here is the command: urpmi kernel-source-stripped-latest kernel-latest uname -r Linux womb 2.6.17-14mdv #1 SMP Wed May 9 21:11:43 MDT 2007 i686 AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+ GNU/Linux After a reboot I saw some verbiage saying the kernel didn't know which of two Nvidia packages to use and dumped me in to a 'init 3' command prompt. Joy. I edited my xorg.conf to use nv instead of nvidia and was able to install the proper Nvidia packages after a bit of fumbling around. The 'drakx11' command from a root terminal sorted things out, after the Software Management applet of MCC (rpmdrake, I believe it is called) left me at runlevel 3 after rebooting. This is the third major hassle I've had upgrading from 2006 to 2007.1. Most of the reviews of 2007.1 have been positive, but they have generally been clean installs. I enjoy Mandriva when it is working properly, but the free product is only supported for about a year and a half and the upgrade process is just too bumpy. I really like Mandriva and want it to survive, but I'd have a hard time recommending it over Debian or Ubuntu just because upgrading is so problematic (not that upgrades of those distros are always painless, either). I may give CentOS 5 a try; it is supposed to be supported until 2014 (by which time I'll be well sick of it and ready for a fresh install).

Well I know something is broken. But HAL seems to be running: Seems to be running:

Hey folks, can you tell me what the proper FSTAB entry for SDA would be? I have a 2006 install upgraded to 2007 that I then accidentally got some Cooker stuff in, then upgraded to 2007.1, and I have this problem. I gather that the problem is solved by moving from the 2.6.17.13 to 2.6.17.14 kernel (I have 2.6.17.13-mm-desktop-3mdv), but this has been a really rocky upgrade and I've just now got most of the problems solved and would like to not introduce any new quirks, if possible, or again accidentally wind up on the Cooker track. http://archives.mandrivalinux.com/cooker/2...02/msg02858.php

Yes, thanks very much, mystified. That did the trick, for the most part. I can now log in as root using SU and also use the Administrative options in Control Center. Also, I can log in as root in some but not all Mandriva Control Center modules in Mandriva>System>Configuration. Some of them give me a "Unknown Error" dialogue box. Also, many of the modules are missing from the KDE menu. Oh well, I can easily start MCC from the command line. Funny thing is, I glanced at (obviously didn't read) the errata, but missed that bit, probably because I read it before I'd actually updated to 2007.1 after reading a review of 2007.1 that claimed that the errata list was longer than the list of featured improvements. http://www.softwareinreview.com/cms/content/view/74/ Executive summary: Issue the following command: Here is the text from the Errata referenced /usr/share/doc/pam-0.99.7.1/README.update.urpmi file. Wardevil, I tend to agree that 2007.1 isn't quite ready for prime time. 2006 was stable, but unexciting, a perfectly useful desktop, though. 2007 was very nice, all the upgrades seemed to work, plus I liked the Compiz eye candy once I'd upgraded my video card (though I'm still not able to get the Zoom In scrolling to work). 2007.1 seems rather buggy. The 3D stuff is much more erratic than 2007, even as it is more ambitious. Metisse just stalls out when I try to use it, Compiz isn't working properly, Beryl works, but when I enable it I have to manually start beryl-manager, then switch to Metacity in the Select Window Manager field in order to get my top window frames to materialize, finally switch back to Beryl. OK, I guess I could just go with a 2D desktop and all would be well. EDIT: I reverted to 2D desktop, now when I hit the Beryl-Manager icon on my Panel Beryl starts properly without futzing around with different Window Managers. The other thing I have to investigate is that my static IP address keeps losing its gateway every time I boot up, very annoying, I have to log in as root and do a "route add default gateway" every time I want to access the net (or go to MCC Reconfigure A Network Interface). I notice that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg0-eth0 continues to mention a wrong address as a gateway (192.168.xxx.1 vs. 254 for my router). Maybe manually editing that file will make the problem go away. EDIT: That did the trick, my gateway was automatically recognized. Still, not very user-friendly for a user-friendly distro. I've never used that address for my gateway. Starting MCC from the menu still gives me an "Unknown Error" message.

I guess I probably messed up my Mandriva 2006 upgraded to 2007 installation about a month ago trying to get Beryl to work properly using some random repositories I saw on a web page somewhere. After a round or two of updates I could no longer SU at all. I used the 2007.1 DVD to upgrade to the latest stable version, but things didn't sort themselves out. When I type 'su' at a terminal trying to get a root prompt I get this: I don't even get a chance to enter a password. I get the same thing from my wife's user account. I also can't su to change to my wife's account in a terminal. SU appears broken, even from the root account. Attempts to start GUI tools as root from within a user account also fail. If I use the command: I get a little dialogue box that says: I get the same message if I try to use Adminstrative Mode with Control Center. Trying to start a MCC module gives me another error with says "Unknown error - Close". Using the Browse Available Software module spits out a dialogue box saying: Goodie. Being in Gnome or even a shell login doesn't help, still no SU. Curiously, I can SSH to get to my root account and use other TTYs for a root account or Switch User - Start New Session or log in from the KDM screen to get a graphic root access. I can even access GUI applications within my user KDE session by using SSH X forwarding: I've looked around the web and this seems to be a fairly wide spread problem over the last few years on a variety of platforms from cygwin to vmware, as well as a number of distros, but I've never seen a satisfactory resolution that worked for me. I've poked around a number of files looking at configuration and permissions but never seen something that grabbed me by the throat. I've looked at: /etc/passwd /etc/pam.d/su /etc/sudoers /etc/shadow Being a mere mortal (not exactly a newbie, though), I don't know what I'd look for in those files exactly, though I tried a few passes with chmod. Any suggestions?

Upgraded to 2007.1, still no zoom, though it is supposed to be enabled according to the Beryl Settings Manager. Zoom In - Super(Button 4) Zoom Out - Super(Button 5) At least the left mouse button now works with the scroll wheel to manipulate translucency.

Here are the experiences of a distro junky who probably installs Linux once every couple of weeks. Last week I had cause to install 3 distros on 3 computers for a 91 year old Spanish Civil War vet who was fed up with Windows, Blag 60000 (a version of FC 6), Ubuntu Ultimate 1.1 (a customized version of Edgy released a couple of weeks ago) and MCNLive installed to the disk, basically 2007. I have to say, the Mandriva was the least buggy, easiest to configure, and the one I think he'll like the most. It also had the most sensible default settings for things. Software was easy to install once I'd done the EasyURPMI stuff. Compiz & Beryl actually worked (I couldn't get it to fly on Ubuntu with the same video card without investing more time than I had). I'm typing this on a 2007 install upgraded from 2006 using URPMI (not the best way to do it, by the way, use the DVD), and it is a very nice OS, as pleasant and bug free as anything I've ever used. I've installed all of the distros in the article except for Linspire (however I have installed Freespire), and really, I think Mandriva was about the easiest to get going the way I like things and the least trouble to keep going (actually, PCLinuxOS may take the cake because I prefer apt to URPMI, but I've just set it up for other people, never used it much myself). If I were going to recommend one distro for a newbie to set up I think it would be Mandriva. It seems a pity to me that Mandy gets so little respect. PCLinuxOS outpolls it on Distrowatch, but where would it be without Mandriva? But I really don't feel passionately about Mandriva the same way I do about Debian, I really don't know why.

Well, I installed Beryl on my KDE 2007. But I still can't zoom. I am now using AIGLX with an ATI Radeaon VE and the ati driver. I can get the opacity to change in a window by scrolling with the right ALT key (not the left for some reason), but I don't know how to get the default Beryl behavior with the Super key. When I hit the Windows key it raises the K Menu; perhaps I have to disable this before Beryl will kick in. I looked over the kcontrol keybindings, but didn't immediately see how to do this. Odd thing is, I don't seem to have a problem setting a keyboard shortcut to zoom in. I just went to Beryl Settings Manager and Accessibility->Input Enabled Zoom. Right now I'm using Kp_Add (number pad '+' key) and Control to zoom in and Kp_Subtrack + Control to zoom out. The (presumably) mouse scroll wheel setting was Super + Button 4 and Super + Button 5, and I tried various alternatives to the Super key (Ctrl, Alt, combinations thereof), but my mouse scroll wheel just wants to scroll the way it normally does up and down pages. Ideas? TIA...

Right, that's the behavior I would like to induce, but I was hoping not to have to install Beryl and just use the default Mandriva XGL Compiz. I've just found that with XGL/AIGLX that the farther you stray from the distro's default settings the more trouble you have upgrading, because upgrading something (xservers, kernels, Compiz, Beryl, proprietary drivers) tends to break something else. Nonetheless, I will change to Beryl if I can't figure this out within a month.
