-# This file contains all the bugs/glitches/inconsistencies shipped in
-# 9.0 (Dolphin) Mandrake Linux Release.
-
-# Feel free to add your entry and if possible the fixes and status of
-# the errata.
-
- o Drakxtools:
- ==========
-
- widget libraries:
-
- In both XFdrake and printerdrake pop up small, empty, gray windows when
- clicking in the main menu. STATUS: Not fixed.
-
- Scroll bars and widget sizes often not correct (visible primarily in the
- printer options step of the "Add printer" wizard of printerdrake. STATUS:
- Not fixed.
-
- harddrake:
-
- logdrake:
- IS: Send the alert mail when service is stopped but the mail
- is empty.
- SHOULD BE: incorporate a text on which service is stopped.
- Status: not fixed.
-
- o Drakconf:
- =========
- IS: locale nl_NL, sl and zh_CN prevent drakconf from starting with
- a "cannot call set_active on undefined values" error.
-
- SHOULD BE: work well in all locales.
-
- a workaround has been comitted
-
- o Drakfont:
- =========
-
- drakfont get stopped in stat64("/mnt/nt/winnt/fonts/8514oem.fon",
- ...) on ntfs partitions.
- there's a bug in ntfs.o fs module of the kernel
-
- o Install:
- ========
-
- o urpmi:
- ======
-
- "urpmi mplayer" shows a list of libraries it needs and asks whether
- to install all this, after saying "y", it says that all these
- packages are missing and fails (I have shown it to François and he
- says that is a bug with the "contribs". He had to regenerate the
- hdlists somehow. STATUS: Not fixed.
-
- o XFree 4.2.x:
- ============
-
- Touchpad mouse on my Asus S8600 notebook. Worked out-of-the-box
- with Mandrake 8.2, but in 9.0 I cannot do any dragging operation
- with the PS/2-"Standard" mouse setting. I switched to "Glidepoint"
- with mousedrake and then dragging works, but the emulation of the
- third button by pressing both buttons not. Adding the lines
-
- Option "Emulate3Buttons"
- Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
-
- to the mouse section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 manually fixes the
- middle-button problem. STATUS: Not fixed.
-
-
-
- Sometimes, XFree86 can cause sound glitches because of intensive
- pci bus usage.
- Adding the line
-
- Option "PciRetry" "true"
-
- to the "Device" section /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 fixes these boxes.
-
-
- I810 driver is bogus: when Xrender extension is in use (antialiased
- fonts), X11 may crash upon vt switch.
- is fixed in devel branch of cvs
-
-
- o Printer drivers:
- ================
-
- "Best Grayscale" mode of HP DeskJet 6xx and Apollo printers does
- not work. STATUS: Fixed on linuxprinting.org, needs to be packaged
- in "printer-drivers".
-
-o kernel:
- =======
-
- Sometimes reboot stops on "illegal seek" message (having /usr on /
- fs fix it)
-
- Sometimes process get blocked in D-state on ntfs partitions (see
- drakfont)
-
- i810_audio mistakely say to modules.pm through modules.*map it
- handles nforces whereas it lacks some workaround nvidia and alsa
- uses.
- workaround: perl-install/patch/patch-nforce.pl
-
- snd-via686 is said to produce background noise since alsa-0.9.0rc3
- workaround: switch to via82cxxx_audio (oss driver) through draksound

-
-# Feel free to add your entry and if possible the fixes and status of
-# the errata.
-
-
- o DrakConf:
- =========
-
- - #2439: menudrake failled to run for users other than root and
- xserver owner
-
- - #3415: do not kill "explicitely non embeddable" processes when
- killing embedded tools
-
- both fixed in 9.1-12mdk
-
-
-
- o DrakxTools:
- ===========
- - drakconnect:
- o ltmodem support is missing from mdk9.1 [added in hp release]
- o various other fixes came into mdk4hp release
-
- - explanations: most common ones are not logged because of a
- standalone.pm vs common.pm methods overloading bug [not yet
- fixed]
-
- - harddrake-ui:
- o menu entry starts logdrake instead of harddrake's gui [fixed in
- cvs]
- o status bar is not cleared on config tool exit [fixed in cvs]
- o title bar miss some spaces in french locale [fixed in cvs]
-
- - harddrake service: 5 second timeout was too short so it was
- increased up to 25 seconds [in hp release]
-
- - localedrake/drakx: legal problem with rpc vs hong-kong||taiwan
- [fixed in hp release]
-
-
-
- o Kernel:
- =======
-
- - ntfs driver has a hang, additionally also causing 100% cpu usage
- if either the size of the ntfs filesystem or the number of MFT
- entries fell to a certain range and statfs() system call was
- invoked by an application (e.g. df, gnome system monitor, etc).
- see #3353
-
- it got fixed quickly but unfortunately too late for us
-
- the probability one hits this bug is 0.2% or every 512th users.
-
- updated ntfs driver (2.1.2a) is at the usual place,
-
- http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/
-
- or more precisely,
-
- http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13956

-(done,pix(partly, protection against bugging))bug in diskdrake:
-in expert: blank, create hda5 at beginning, create hda6 at the end, create hda7

-
-(done, daouda&pix,7.1, other persons)rescue:
-- small modification for stage1 to get the rescue stage2
-- create a stage2 with many tools (fdisk, bash...)
-the rescue could be on another cd (if multi-cd)
-! care must be taken about modules (if ide is in module...)
-
-(done,7.1)install in 800x600
-- need handling of both 640x480 (mostly for VGA16) and 800x600

--*- outline -*-
-
- todo list for mdk9.2
- (mainly gtk+ oriented for now)
-
-* erratas
-** put them in gi/perl-install/patch/mdk_9.1
-** move mdk9.1 ones from gi/perl-install/patch into gi/perl-install/patch/mdk_9.0
-
-
-* libDrakX
-** document internals through docbook like kernel-2.5.x does
-
-* mcc vs tools communication
-** faster tools embedding in mcc (gc idea)
- move gui into gui/<sg>.pm so that mcc can just do require on them
- instead of doing slow fork+perl startup (same idea as fast_cgi,
- perl_mod and the like)
-** told apps to ask user whether to save their changes or to discard them on cancel (#1437)
-** to let diskdrake fit better when embedded, we should write "formated - mounted" rather than "formated\nmounted"
-** "testing mode" option in options menu so that we pass --testing to our tools ?
-
-* ugtk2 & tools guies:
-** cleanups:
-*** $o->flush() should be sub { $_[0]->window->process_updates(1) }
- see logdrake::parse_file()'s progress bar as an example
-** saner/cleaner usage of gtk+-2.2 widgets:
-*** use MessageDialog for modal windows (cleaner)
- especially for wait/error messages so that one uses std gtk+ icons for info/error/warning and the like events
-*** use button boxes everywhere when we have several buttons for saner gui (as per gnome specs/recommendations)
-*** gtk::combo => gtk::optionMenu (as per gtk+-2 doc)
-*** use size::group to let things be smoother in some places (eg: clock.pl from mcc)
-
-* tools
-** all:
-*** provide menu entries for more gui tools (?): for now, only harddrake2 and logdrake have one
-*** explanations of std standalone.pm functions are broken due to common.pm overloading
-*** have a button or a menu to access help (was already part of mdk9.1 specs)
- only harddrake2, mcc and rpmdrake have one for now
- policy might be: "most users access tools via the mcc, so let handle help, bug reports and co only in mcc"
-*** rename and provide compatibility links:
-**** adduserdrake => drakeuseradd
-**** diskdrake => drakdisk
-**** harddrake => drakhw
-**** keyboarddrake => drakkeyboard
-**** localedrake => draklocale
-**** logdrake => draklog
-**** menudrake => drakmenu [fredc]
-**** mousedrake => drakmouse
-**** printerdrake => drakprinter
-**** userdrake => drakuser [deush]
-**** XFdrake => drakx11
-** drakboot:
-*** should prevent the user to insert a space in a kernel label (#2826)
-*** fix "Display theme under console" setting from current theme config file (#2662)
-** drakconnect
-*** does not show up zeroconf as a valid mode in "configuring lan" window in embedded mode
-** drakedm:
-*** restart dm service ?
-** harddrake:
-*** colorize the internal help
-*** add raw description (or join('|', vendor, descr)) for mass medias (see drakx bug #3???)
-*** use pure gtk+ instead of interactive for "fields description" or alter interactive so that it creates modal windows
-** logdrake:
-*** search field does not get focus when embedded
-*** we may disable the search button when one deselect all explanation files
-** mcc:
-*** make tool names be black or blue (like in rpmdrake & harddrake2 guies) (#2695)
-*** hide non executable programs instead of warning at runtime if program isn't executable
-*** make more program being options rather than depandancies (ie like rpmdrake and drakwizard)
-*** add scrollbars if root window is below 800x600 (#2961)
-*** add scrollbars for too big translated messages (but how to detect it)
-*** move drakedm from hardware to system section
-*** enhance mcc descriptions (#3265)
-** rpmdrake
-*** save mode (sort by group, mdk choice, ...)
-**** sa serait cool que tu sauve la position (aka choix mdk, tri/alpha, par
- groupe, par taille, ...) et que tu la restaure
-*** m-q accelerator to quit
-*** if package is unselectable, explain why
-*** si conflit, proposer de deselectionner le package en question +tot que de
- devoir se taper l'arborescence pour le deselectionner (a - que la
- recherche e perde pas la selection de package en cours)
-*** some windows are still non modal, like:
- o tout ce qui se rapporte aux dependances "des paquetages
- supplementaires sont necessaires", ... tu oublie de passer "{
- transient => $w->{rwindow} }"
- o toutes les fenetres grpmi. faudrait voir si on peut foutre le
- core de grpmi dans un package pour faire "use grpmi" et seter
- le nouveau $::main_window pour corriger ca.
-*** we need access to urpmi options like "no gpg signature check"
-*** bug 1
-1) selectionner des packages a installer
-
-2) rpmdrake dit que X doit etres vier
-
-3) rpmdrake le vire
-
-4) rpmdrake passe a l'update/isntall proprement dite
-
-5) rpmdrake failled
-
-rpmdrake re-tentera d'enlever le package X du 1 en cas de reessai
-alors qu'il n'est + la
-
-** scannerdrake/sane-find-scanner
-*** do not detect every usb devices as scanner
-** urpmi
-*** --repair-system: add missing dependancies for currently installed packages
-
-
-* packages
-** main package updates:
-*** rpm-4.2
-*** kernel-2.6 (if availlable and stabilized: not probable) ?
- at least, keep kernel-2.4.x
-** add new packages:
-*** kernel-mosix
-*** dvb related packages: vcr, vdr, ...
-** icewm/windowmaker/other wm
-*** export BROWSER like gnome/kde (look at /etc/gnome/gnomerc)
-
-* hardware support
-** kernel: update alsa, bttv, dvb & saa7134 drivers for better hardware support (the laters from http://bytesex.org)
-*** add "REGISTER ^dvb/adapter[0-9]+/[^/]+$ PERMISSIONS root.video 0660" to devfsd
-*** update oss audigy driver from pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/emu10k1 cvs
-** add cx88 sound driver from http://bytesex.org/snapshot
-** isa detection/probing in ldetect ? (#118, #497) => need some old hw in order to test

- <b>Boot process (stage1)</b>
-
- Installation begin by booting from CD-ROM or Diskette. From CD-ROM all
-installation method are available (CD, HD, NFS, FTP, HTTP) on options. From
-Diskette according to image selected, only some related method (network or cdrom
-or hd) are available and module managed due to size limitation to 1.44Mb.
- Options are always available by pressing on F1.
-
- <b>DrakX process (stage2)</b>
-
- DrakX installation organized in steps (execution sequence described below).
-Steps listed on left side and help available on bottom right side. most of the
-screen is available for various dialog for interacting with the user. Steps
-execution sequence is automated and described below.
-
-Mouse is probed and if none has been found or if the mouse has not moved, a
-specific mouse configuration is displayed at the begining.
-
-
-Before the graphical steps, there is a detection step. It detects various
-hardware, including modems (from tty0 to tty7), mouse (serial, usb, ps/2) and
-tablets.
-
- <b>Steps</b>
-
- <i>Choose Your language</i>: step always displayed. default choice is previous one or
-<font color="#000080"><i>English</i></font>. After choosing a language, a license splash screen translated in the
-chosen language is displayed with <font color="#000080"><i>Accept</i></font> and <font color="#000080"><i>Refuse</i></font> buttons. <font color="#000080"><i>Refuse</i></font> should
-stop installation. <font color="#000080"><i>Accept</i></font> validate language choice which are propagated to all
-DrakX visible widget. Advanced mode allow to select other language available to
-be installed. Advanced mode allow to select language which will be installed on
-system.
- If step is redone, the license is no more displayed.
-
- <font color="#000080"><i>Select Install Class</i></font>: step always displayed. default choice is previous one
-or <font color="#000080"><i>Recommended</i></font>. Only one other option available is <font color="#000080"><i>Customized</i></font>. Two buttons
-available are <font color="#000080"><i>Install</i></font> or <font color="#000080"><i>Upgrade</i></font>. Available steps (left side) are changed
-according to installation class selected, where the default is the one of
-<font color="#000080"><i>Recommended</i></font> with <font color="#000080"><i>Install</i></font>.
-
- <font color="#000080"><i>Hard Drive Detection</i></font>: step always displayed. In recommended mode,
-automatically done. In Customized mode, all modules that manage SCSI/IDE cards
-are loaded automatically and a question asking for other module to load is
-displayed.
- If clicked later or if to the question to load other module the
-answer is <font color="#000080"><i>Yes</i></font>, a list of module is displayed (or if the question to other
-module to load is. When a module is chosen, two options are available
-<font color="#000080"><i>Autoprobe</i></font> and <font color="#000080"><i>Specify options</i></font>. Autoprobe try to load the module without any
-other user options (default module parameter). Specify options allow user to
-give module parameters individually in a list for all known parameters. At this
