Hi everybody, I'm currently running Mandrake 10CE on my IBM Thinkpad (it's a dual boot with Win2k). I'm fairly happy with the 10CE install, but there are a few niggling issues and whatnot... all part of the fun. I'm using the 10CE partition a lot, but I keep all my data on the Win2k side. Lately, I've been wanting to try out Cooker. I love having the bleeding edge stuff, and since I don't keep my data on the Mandy partition, I don't mind a little instability. However, I've read the warnings ("Cooker is an experimental distribution, it's not for daily use!"), and I'm a little gun shy. So I wanted to ask the members of this board -- is Cooker really that unstable? Are any of you using it on a daily basis, and if so, does it work for you? Any Cooker horror stories? Please give me your experiences before I jump off the high dive, or climb back down the ladder like a wuss! Marc...

Whoops! I accidentally gave a direct link to the patch... here's the link to the bug report page: https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9411 Marc...

Eshock, I had the exact same problem. After running rpmdrake from the console, I got this error message: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Gtk2::Allocation" (perhaps you forgot to load "Gtk2::Allocation"?) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/ugtk2.pm line 997. I did a newsgroup search, and found that this was a reported bug. There's a patch available at: https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/attachment.cgi?...544&action=view I just tried it, and it worked like a charm. Marc...
