This update addresses several issues related to file IDs and permissions, as well as insuring the initial permissions for aliases.db under postfix is correct for proper operation. The mdkkdm package now builds properly under amd64 and also allows you to reboot the machine with a good kernel when you need to enter a password. Fixes for drakconnect include fixing a problem where wireless adapter settings were lost when altering the network configuration when not in wizard mode. A problem with stepping back into the wizard and having the first card's parameters being overwriten by the last one's has also been fixed. drakfont had issues with TTF conversion that have been corrected. A bug in draksec that would lose unsaved security administrator settings has been fixed. A bug in ncftp would cause it to close when typing in high ASCII characters. A problem in kdelibs prevented people from having a screensaver. A problem in kdebase prevented people from renaming a directory on the desktop. A problem where GConf was not storing a local lock on a remote directory for people using NFS-mounted home with security level >= 2 and would cause GNOME to fail to login properly after logout has been fixed. The crash in the memo-file conduit in gnome-pilot has been fixed. Random freezes in Evolution due to ORBit2 have been corrected. A bug in gdm would prevent users from logging out then back in again when using NFS has been fixed (note this update replaces security advisory MDKSA-2003:100). A bug in drakclub where it would print the root password to the console has been fixed. Another bug where it would complain about missing IO:Stty when launching drakclub as a regular user was also corrected. A bug in chkauth prevented LDAP authentication from working properly post-install due to calling the wrong PAM module; this has been fixed. A problem with chinese IME in KDE has been fixed with new qt3 packages.

DragonMage Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 You know.. this update is really huge.. as of today 10/23/03, the total updates are about 250 MB big.. I guess Mandrake 9.2 needs 4 cds instead of 3 in order to get installed nicely :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Very little. The total update is huge because of the kernel. Every type of kernel requires around 30 MB of space, that doesn't include the kernel-source. KDE-base stuff is also huge.. and then there are the libraries. But that still sux though... I wonder if this kernel fix the acpi with laptop issues.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
