Trying to get kdm to start
I have been trying to get kdm as my default login and i am not having any luck. The ways I have tried. 1) I installed kdm into init 5 and nothing started. All I get in my start up scripts on tty1: Not starting K Desktop Manager (kdm): it is not the default display manager 2) So I then did a grep -nr xdm /etc/* and i found /etc/X11/defalut-display-manager i changed /usr/bin/X11/xdm to /usr/bin/X11/kdm still nothing. 3) then I did a apt-get install login.app and i got a graphical login but not kdm 4) I then whent into inittab and changed the x:5:respawn: to x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm that worked but then i got a new error on tty1 INIT: id "x" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes (this is the cruncher.. I have been trying to figure this one out for hours) 5) I then did a apt-get remove login.app and that did not help 6) commented out the /usr/bin/X11/kdm in /etc/X11/defalut-display-manager file nothing 7) every thing gives me INIT: id "x" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes and i can't seam to shake it.. can any one help me on this.. i am loosing more hair..lol thank you.. -adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Trying to get kdm to start
Danial, Thank you... it worked perfectly. Now your delemia... that has never happend with me in SuSE or Yellowdog. I just tried it in Debian and it worked for me. The only thing I can think of it might be your mouse config in XFree86-4 file. I had moved my settings from SuSE over Section "InputDevice" Driver "keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" # Option "XkbKeyCodes" "macintosh" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "macintosh" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" EndSection I hope that helps... -Adam On Thu, 2002-06-27 at 05:32, Danial Pearce wrote: > On Thu, Jun 27, 2002 at 02:03:59AM -0400, Adam wrote: > > > > I have been trying to get kdm as my default login and i am not having > > any luck. > > I managed to get it running without any configuring manually, just > installing it via dselect did the trick.

KDM working..but studk with 100 dpi fonts in GNOME
With the help of every one I got kdm working just fine, I even got the right 75 dpi working for me. The only thing I have now is when I start up GNOME I have 100 dpi fonts as the default font. I rearanged my fonts in XFree86 and put 75 before 100 but that did not make a difference. I also looked around in the GNOME settings and could not find any thing. After much looking around and trying to locate it on the server, I am stumped. Does any one have any clues?

Emergancy...system configuration keeps deleting my user accounts in dselect
I am finding out that my system configuration keeps deleting my user accounts when I do an install from dselect. Could I have installed a package which does this. The only active account I have no that system is root and my normal useser can't access the system. Theres and my accounts or directories in /home dir. has .deselected. I cant find the package I may have installed which does this. This happened after I have installed a whole mess of packages and now every time I do an install it takes for ever to finish and it says that it is deleting . This is not good. :( Thank you in advance -Adam

xauath problem when loging in with ssh from suse to debian
I have done some research on this and sooo far I can not find an answer.. to my ssh problem. When I log in to my debian box from my suse box using X I seam to get this error once loging in to the debian box. /usr/bin/X11/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "debian:10.0" in "add" command It is only from X and every thing seam fine in the tty. I have checked my sshd_config and my ssh_config files and I can't place where the problem is. I know it has to do with a config but I can't figure it out soo far. This only happens from going to suse to debian and not debian to suse. Any kind sujestions. Thank you... -Adam

Re: networking issues on G3 b&w: UPdate
update: I just figured out it is the 2.4.18-powerpc kernel that is causing my woes. I would like to down load another kernel not using dselect so I can then put it on the system and install since I can't access the internet from the G3 debian box just yet.
I have checked out debians website and mirror ftp sites and I can't find how to retrieve individual packages can any one direct me to a location for individual packages..

Right, it looks like you're using devfs, perhaps? I suggest installing the devfsd package, which will make dealing with devfs a little easier: Description: Daemon for the device filesystem This daemon sets up the /dev filesystem for use. It creates required symbolic links in /dev and also creates (if so configured, as is the default) symbolic links to the "old" names for devices. HTH -- Josh Huber | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |

Re: networking issues on G3 b&w & Re: Can I use suse /dev dir. in debian /dev
I have tried every thing from recompiling the kernel (2.4.18-powerpc) and still no luck with networking. I have exhausted my whole arsonal of ideas and the only thing left is to do a fresh install of debian directly on my G3, w&w box... ( a real bummer) I just wanted to keep any one afloat...

Re: Can I use suse /dev dir. in debian /dev
Sorry.. I have been trying a install the system and have not been booted into this one for most of the day... I actualy did not have devfs installed on my G4 at the orrig time of writing and when I did I lost all mouse control, most noticablily in X but then i noticed it was not working in console either. I removed devfs and still had no luck with the mouse soo I took the /dev from a recient backup and moved it back into place.. now every thing works just fine on the G4 Now, the G3 has been a chore... No, devfs was installed on that one either. I could not even install it becuse I did not even have net access no matter what I tried and did. After a day of trying to get it to work (see earlier threads) I decided to reinstall the sytem from a fresh install. I am in the process of installing the extra files and then to reconfigure it again. Knowing now why I could not get my cd to work.. It was mentioned eiler on the list to use /dev/ MAKEDEV hdi where my cdrom sits.. I have not done that just yet.. I am very excited to get the system up and running.. soo much software for the ppc and very up to date using sid/unstable. It is a long process of selecting files, installing them and configureing them. The help has been greate... Thank You. My buisnes network for the studio and office is going to be great and top notch.. looking forward to it.

eth switched in 2.4.18 kernel for G3 b&w 400 mz
After a long and tiedous week, I just found out of why I could not get networking on my G3. 1. I installed a fresh debian system - did not work when changing from 2.2.19 kernel to 2.4.18 2. played with settings.. -did not work... 3. compiled own kernels many times.. -did not work... but putting another nic into my box and playing with that... kinda.. and what worked was switching the actual connections from the internel eth to the nic while keeping the settings as eth0... sooo... I found out that eth0 is actually my asente nic (eth1 in reality). For some reason the 2.4.18 kernel on my G3 box is switched. But it is now working. I just want to follow up just incase if any one else may have simular probablims... Szia, Adam

get-apt issues & where can i get j2re1.3 for the ppc
I was updating my files using stable, testing, and unstable in my source list.. apt told me i had not choice to uninstall a bounc of apps.. i went into dselect and they were not marked for uninstalation but apt force the isue any way.. So, I wrote down what it was uninstalling and thought to go back and install them later. Now I can't do any thing i can't install or uninstall .. scannerdaemon is keeping the whole process locked this is the output it gives me apt-get -fm upgrade --fix-broken Reading Package Lists...

I found the the proper blackdown java and put the info into my /etc/apt/sources.lists file and saw it in the dselect app. I choose to install it and I can't do any thing due to the scannerdaemon being a stick in the mud.

looking for glibc-2.2.5-7 for the powerpc binaries

getting netatalk working in debian
I have almost completed a full install of debian but I can not get natatalk to start. The daemon starts, the /etc/default/netatalk is configured, but I can't get the custom settings I had set up in my suse system. I copied /etc/atalk from suse and put it in /etc in debian but atalk does not recognize it so far. Do I need to place the atalk directory some where else? Thanks in advance, -Adam

coda file systems on the ppc
Has any one got the coda file system to work on the ppc? If not is there a better Network Files System than the NFS like AFS.? -Adam
Re: coda file systems on the ppc
What I am trying to do is create a strong file system for a digital photo studio. I am used to NFS but have been reading up on Coda and AFS but none are available for the powerpc. I like what Coda has to offer but compiling it for the ppc is a chore and there are missing dependencies. AFS seams like it is good but I need the server side on Linux. I have read that NFS is not that good in infrastructure and is clumsy too... The goal is to have a system that as soon as the picture is taken in the studio, it is saved on to the network for storage feasibility. The files can range from 60mb to 300 mb per image depending on the mode of capture. So I am looking to create a dependable and efficient file system. Coda has some good things to it but it is not in a production system and NFSv3 is OK. I am also trying to integrate the whole thing with Linux server and clients and OS X server and clients. Any help, ideas, or suggestions would be very helpful. Thank-You, -Adam On Thu, 2002-08-08 at 02:24, Adam wrote: Has any one got the coda file system to work on the ppc?

Has any one got AFS server/client sucessfuly working on the powerpc line?
I have been investigating into moving from NFS to AFS and doing some research on the AFS system. I noticed there are only debian binaries for i86 and no current powerpc binaries. I have downloaded the source tar balls and will compile in on my system. I would like to know if there are success stores or failures that any one would like to share along with any helpful suggestions before I start. Thank-you, -Adam
Re: Has any one got AFS server/client sucessfuly working on the powerpc line?
Mike, Thank-you. Yes, I have been looking at openAFS and reading all their webpages and documentations. Is it best to run openAFS with xfs? I am using ext3 right now and look to be switching to xfs in the future. I have not got xfs compiled in my kernel just yet (2.4.18). Also, does it mater for efenciently the processor I use on the openAFS servers or is the memory and storage the most important functions of the hardware I choose to use to serve the openAFS cell/server? -Thanks, -Adam On Wed, 2002-09-25 at 22:32, Mike Furr wrote: On Wed, 2002-09-25 at 14:54, Adam wrote: > I have been investigating into moving from NFS to AFS and doing some > research on the AFS system.

Not directly applicable but... We run openafs on x86 linux, mips irix, and sparc solaris machines. They all seem to work pretty well, so there doesn't seem to be any big endian/ 32-64bit/ portability problems. One thing to watch out for is xfs on linux. I don't know the exact reason, but as I understand it, xfs breaks certain convections with inodes, or something, that really give afs problems. Especially when the salvager kicks in... Haven't had a chance to try it on my powerbook yet... Oh, also make sure you get whatever is the latest version (1.2.6 now) not what is in woody. They fixed a bunch of stuff since then. -m

Initializing faxgetty errors
I have been trying to configure a server to act as a fax server but have been having some serous troubles getting the box to initialize the modem when starting up. I had the modem working once before but at the time turned it off and have not used it since. Since then I have used other kernels moved services around and even put a new Debian install on the box. I have recompiled the kernel with serial device support and now it recognizes the device but I can't figure out where and what to put into the init setup. I have included what is in my inittab file and some faxgetty output in my syslog. I have purred over man pages, old posts, docs, kernel recompiling, basic trouble shooting and just trial and error figuring things out. I am setting up the modem for my wife to fax out resumes and need some input.

3. While running gxine I
tail -f /var/log/syslog-logs/syslog
and get this response loged when gxine quits
Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x50
Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 36992
I recompiled the kernel thinking if I included
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE = Y
It would take care of the SeekComplete error but it did not and still continues to output the same error.
My bane: This has been a bane of my linux experience and very annoying to me because everyone else can get it to work but for some reason I cannot on my system. I have been trying for the last 4 years and I must be loosing my head by now. Can some one help me with this... I have exhausted my knowledge and from the Internet and the mailing lists? Thanks in advanced

Note that I had to play at least one DVD in OS X first to get the region set right. Maybe this is possible with a free software tool too. yes.. now it just plain segfaults and no error messages.

Using totem instead (based on the underlying xine libs at the moment) did not crash though it did output the same errors. yes.. i can open totem but when I play a dvd.. no movie screen is shown and then it just hangs.. sigh

Yes. Wtih the trunk packages and modules installed I could not start x even with the fbdev driver. So I took them back out and tried using ati as the driver in XF86Config-4 file and that still did not work but with the fbdev driver I can start x back up. I have never been able to use the proper xdrivers. :( I have included also my .config file for my kernel version.

Should I continue to work with the different trunk packages I installed on the system. Would other mesa packages cause some conflicts with the trunk packages. Not being able to removed my self from the fbdev driver is also keeping me from using the 2.6 kernel. Also I have the ati rage128 drivers compiled in the kernel and I am wondering if that can be causing some issues.. I am reading a webpage on this at http://www.desktop-linux.net/ati.htm I do wonder if the frame buffer in my kernel config is causing conflicts with the r128 driver. It must be something I have installed or compliled in the kernel which has been making it unable to let me use DRI with the xserver. I have been recompiling my kernel with many diff options such as: agpart and r128 as modules, agpart as a module and no r128 (used the trunk r128 module) and so far nothing has yet worked.

My iBook isn't recent (it's orange and has the Mach 64-chip), so perhaps that's why I'm not having any problems.

I found that this was the biggest problem I had on my iMac. Because this does not cause just ldconfig to fail, but MANY programs, randomly to fail on running. The most common case was in running subprograms out of emacs (latex, xdvi, ispell). It happened so often that I could not continue running Paulus's 2.4 kernel. And this was as recent as a week ago.

Re: network install problems on 7200/90
Yes, I have had this problem. The short answer is: MACE is completely broken in recent 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. It seems to be able to send 1-2 packets before failing with "lost a status word". These few initial packets allow DHCP to work ok, while everything else fails. I don't know how to fix it, although I remember using MACE on Linux fine back in 1998 (don't ask me which kernel!), and NetBSD and Mac OS work fine. Perhaps this will spark some discussion to the root cause, as I would like to use Debian on my old 604-upgraded 7500!

Re: network install problems on 7200/90
This is the problem which I mistakenly labeled as "the MACE driver being completely broken". And since I last tried using it, I speculated that pump was the culprit. Now I'm glad someone confirmed it. The problem does indeed exist in kernel 2.4.2.

Re: pumpd failing to renew lease
Yes, built-in ethernet is crappy. On my 7500, with MACE, it works
great for about 5-10 minutes, then becomes sporadic and eventually
just stops working. A reboot fixes things perfectly.
BUT, this is only in Linux. Under Mac OS 9, the ethernet works
quite well and never has any problems (other than whatever problems
there are in Mac OS).
So, the built-in ethernet can work, it is just a matter of crafting
a robust driver to cope with its bugs and terrible nature. Mac OS 9
has a robust driver, Linux does not.
It seems that NetBSD has a robust driver. Anyone up for a port of mace
from NetBSD -> Linux? Think of the rewards! Now that old Mac can have
reliable 10baseT Ethernet under Linux without adding any cards!
It's just a matter of motivation, which is severely undermined by
the existence of vastly superior, cheap PCI ethernet cards that work
perfectly.
But it might be fun...

Re: pumpd failing to renew lease
Let's see... Under Mac OS 9, I can do pretty well. To test, I downloaded a 120 MB file using Fetch at about 800-850 KB/s. Not too bad. I know they rewrote the ethernet driver for Mac OS 9, so I guess it's good. (That's the "Apple Enet" driver.) I use Fetch for testing, because it is the simplest and fastest Mac OS FTP client that I know. I didn't test NetBSD that much, but I know I didn't have the problems that I have under Linux. NetBSD downloaded its main install files overnight without a hitch (through a 10baseT LAN with a 56K modem). Looking at the NetBSD code shows what appears to be a much more in-depth understanding of the DBDMA system which is intricately tied to the mace. The Linux driver just plugs a few bits into places whenever it mentions DBDMA, and that's from within the mace driver. So under Linux, I can get about 900-950 KB/s downloads for a few minutes after reboot. After that, it just craps out, even for downloading files from my slow 56K modem connection on the LAN.

Re: output-device OF boot variable for ATI XCLAIM3D+
Yes, the XCLAIM series has all the magical OpenFirmware stuff to make it work properly under Linux. It is a true Mac card (it even has the wide Mac video connector, I think). To find out the device tree entry, either: a) Boot up Mac OS and run Apple System Profiler. Find it in the "Devices and Volumes" tab (or something like that). Then expand out the PCI bus and find it. My XCLAIM VR is "/bandit/ATY,XCLAIMVRPro". b) If you can boot Linux, look in /proc/bandit. You should see it in there. The problem I had with my 7500 was that video=atyfb didn't work. Linux would boot into a terrible video mode that didn't work on any monitor. No amount of changing resolutions would fix it, it just produced other broken video modes. I never figured this one out (just used video=ofonly). Strangely, Linux won't boot in this mode, the disk doesn't go, and the text doesn't scroll past, so I think it corrupts something terribly. XFree86 4.0.3 didn't work with "ati" either, I had to use "fbdev" with "video=ofonly". If you manage to get this all working, I'd be quite curious. Good luck!

Re: switching to linux keycodes in woody
Yes, I think that this is a great idea. I've been using i386 keycodes for a few months now, and it's nice to have ctrl-alt-del work properly. The only problems I see with this: * On Apple keyboards (USB or ADB), this swaps the "natural" position of alt (option) and meta (Apple). I have no problem with this, as I use a PC USB keyboard, and before the change, the Windows key and alt key were improperly switched. (Apple keyboard + i386 keycodes or PC keyboard + ADB keycodes = swapped alt/meta.) * XFree86 4.0.3 currently cannot work completely correctly on PPC with i386 keycodes, the arrow keys and a few other keys are mapped completely incorrectly. The fix for this is to set XkbModel to "powerpcps2" instead of "pc104". This took a long time to find, until I saw in some xkb file that this was necessary because of alleged "kernel bugs". (??) Of course, pc104 doesn't work with ADB keycodes either. Keeping these in mind, I suggest that you go ahead with this change. (And maybe figure out what's wrong with xkb?)

xscreensaver lcd hack for my pbook g4
I've been using the attached script to have xscreensaver turn the lcd off instead of just the normal blank (turn all the pixels black, but keep the lcd on).

Re: configuring X for Lime iMac (have tried many things...)
This is what I use on my iMac DV with XFree86 4.0.3. You may not want the short monitor timeout, but I like it to turn off quickly when I'm logged out. Also, it's designed to work with Linux i386 keycodes, so you may need to adjust for that. Finally, your PCI device may be different.

I've attached a diff between the i386 a2ps.cfg and the powerpc one.
By looking at a2ps.cfg.in in the source package, it looks like it's
just something simple like configure getting confused about lpr.
Many packages Provide lpr, should only the true lpr package be allowed
for the build?

Re: Trashed audio out on Tumbler (iBook audio device) when samples are little endian - fixing it now
Byte swapping audio in the kernel? From what I've heard, this is a no-no. I'm pretty sure Linus and Alan Cox both agree that this is purely a userspace task, and any attempt to move this into the kernel will be met with great resistence. You may have better luck making sure that the driver correctly reports that it cannot accept little-endian data, and then making sure that your userspace programs (like xmms) properly check the driver's capabilities and do the swapping themselves. I suggest any patches you provide work along these lines.

I have included the .config file to show what changes I made. However, I don't know if this should go as a new thread or not but when I put the computer to sleep and wake up.. it looses all responsiveness and the only thing I can do is force power down the box. I don't know if this is a kernel or pbbuttons issue. Other than that.. the kernel is looking very good. The fan does not come on any more and I can switch to the tty terminals and back to x without any problems. -Adam # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # Linux kernel version: 2.6.17.7 # Thu Aug 17 15:47:04 2006 # # CONFIG_PPC64 is not set CONFIG_PPC32=y CONFIG_PPC_MERGE=y CONFIG_MMU=y CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=y CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y CONFIG_GENERIC_HWEIGHT=y CONFIG_GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY=y CONFIG_PPC=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM=y CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER=y CONFIG_ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC=y CONFIG_PPC_OF=y CONFIG_PPC_UDBG_16550=y # CONFIG_GENERIC_TBSYNC is not set # CONFIG_DEFAULT_UIMAGE is not set # # Processor support # CONFIG_CLASSIC32=y # CONFIG_PPC_52xx is not set # CONFIG_PPC_82xx is not set # CONFIG_PPC_83xx is not set # CONFIG_PPC_85xx is not set # CONFIG_40x is not set # CONFIG_44x is not set # CONFIG_8xx is not set # CONFIG_E200 is not set CONFIG_6xx=y CONFIG_PPC_FPU=y CONFIG_ALTIVEC=y CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU=y CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32=y # CONFIG_SMP is not set # # Code maturity level options # CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP=y CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL=y CONFIG_INIT_ENV_ARG_LIMIT=32 # # General setup # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="" # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set CONFIG_SWAP=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y # CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3 is not set CONFIG_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_AUDIT=y # CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is not set # CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set # CONFIG_RELAY is not set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="" CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y # CONFIG_EMBEDDED is not set CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y # CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is not set CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_PRINTK=y CONFIG_BUG=y CONFIG_ELF_CORE=y CONFIG_BASE_FULL=y CONFIG_FUTEX=y CONFIG_EPOLL=y CONFIG_SHMEM=y CONFIG_SLAB=y # CONFIG_TINY_SHMEM is not set CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 # CONFIG_SLOB is not set # # Loadable module support # CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=y CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y # CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL is not set CONFIG_KMOD=y # # Block layer # # CONFIG_LBD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE is not set # CONFIG_LSF is not set # # IO Schedulers # CONFIG_IOSCHED_NOOP=y # CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS is not set # CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE is not set CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ=y # CONFIG_DEFAULT_AS is not set # CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEADLINE is not set CONFIG_DEFAULT_CFQ=y # CONFIG_DEFAULT_NOOP is not set CONFIG_DEFAULT_IOSCHED="cfq" # # Platform support # CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM=y # CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES is not set # CONFIG_EMBEDDED6xx is not set # CONFIG_APUS is not set CONFIG_PPC_CHRP=y CONFIG_PPC_PMAC=y CONFIG_MPIC=y CONFIG_PPC_RTAS=y # CONFIG_RTAS_ERROR_LOGGING is not set CONFIG_RTAS_PROC=y # CONFIG_MMIO_NVRAM is not set CONFIG_PPC_MPC106=y # CONFIG_PPC_970_NAP is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND is not set # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PMAC=y # CONFIG_PPC601_SYNC_FIX is not set CONFIG_TAU=y # CONFIG_TAU_INT is not set # CONFIG_TAU_AVERAGE is not set # CONFIG_WANT_EARLY_SERIAL is not set # # Kernel options # CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y # CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set CONFIG_HZ_1000=y CONFIG_HZ=1000 # CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set # CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set CONFIG_PREEMPT=y CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=y CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE=y CONFIG_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL=y CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y # CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL is not set # CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is not set CONFIG_FLATMEM=y CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP=y # CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_STATIC is not set CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS=4 CONFIG_PROC_DEVICETREE=y CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0" CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_PM_LEGACY=y # CONFIG_PM_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is not set CONFIG_SECCOMP=y CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y # # Bus op

I have also attached my kernel config file in case if that can help shed some
extra light. It would be nice to have a fresh pair of eyes on this because
after most of the week trying to find the answer, I am at a loss.

Now the investigation goes to find out why eth0 is now eth1. Apparently, I have installed a package that is conflicting with the order networking devices are scanned. I used the same kernel on a fresh install partition and it works just fine so the only difference between the two are: one a new install and the other was running on my powerbook 15 TI.

That is a start. I am amiss. I took out a bunch of wireless packages thinking that may have contributed to my issue but it did not. i also took out anything to do with bluetooth thinking when starting up it could be attributing to the missaragement of network devices and still no difference. Now when I dmesg I still see bluetooth but there are not any package related to bluetooth installed.

I googled fwcutter and found this Ubuntu page and followed its instructions.(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper) However do I need a 2.6.17+ or can I use the bcm43xx driver on learlier kernels such as 2.6.15? Things look well but I can't test my connection because I do not know if my base station extream or the powerbook airport card just went bad :(. I may have to run to the apple store to use their wireless network to find out if it the card or the base station. Until then I can't do much. But in linux the driver did load and I can see it in iwconfig. Thanks for your help -adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I'm fairly loaded with graduating-high-school issues at this point :)

There are lots of people with boxes. The key is to find the people with
the knowledge, time, and the specific hardware for the docs.

I'm raising. I currently have a 7011, but I have yet to get it to work.
I'm suspecting hardware failure. Donations accepted :)

Right. PPC MCA is going to be the first difficult step. We need docs on
the boot process at this point. From there, we'll need docs on everything
thats non-standard, including the MCA interface, etc. (The MCA part is
probably one of the easiest problems to solve in an MCA PPC port -- its
just the common difference between that group of machines and the rest of
the PPCs.)

I've cc'd this to the mailing list we set up a few months ago.
I'd be happy to accept any docs IBM wants to give, as I'm sure anyone else
would. What would be best would to have the docs in electronic format
with a free distribution policy. Printed docs with the same policy would
be adequate as well -- scanners are fairly prevelent these days.
We'd love to have IBM assistance here!

Debian on an iBook - colourdepth
Hi! I just installed Debian on my shining new iBook - as soon as I (re)discovered the initrd=-option, the install went smooth. I've only got one major outstanding issue: I can only start X with 8-bit colourdepth, and the virtual screen is automatically sized 800x5222 (or there about). I've set the vyres with fbset to 600, and I've put "virtual 800 600" in the XF86Config, but I still get this very, very tall virtual screen. Changing the depth with fbset doesn't make X accept anything but 8-bit colourdepth. (I'm using benh's 2.2.17pre9-ben1 kernel). What's the remedy? Compiling XFree4? Another thing: I've made a (functional) mac-dk-latin1.kmap (since there wasn't a Danish keymap in the distribution) - who should I send it to? Big thanks to everybody working on the PowerPC-part of Debian! Best wishes, -- "Sådan er det jo gerne, når man ikke har drejeskive- Adam Sjøgren telefon.

I'm guessing that the huge virtual screensize is automatically chosen to "use" all of the video-ram, but I'd rather use it for colourdepth :-) > My system: PowerBook Pismo, kernel 2.2.15pre19, XFree 3.3.5, > XF86_FBDev.

Installing Debian on an iBook - a webpage with some pointers
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.os.linux.powerpc as well. Hi. With help from the net I succeeded in installing Debian GNU/Linux and X on my new iBook. I've made a little webpage with hints for others who want to do the same thing - it's not complete nor detailed, but it has the info I needed (read: would have liked to have on hand) to get going. Oh, and it has Danish keymaps for the console and X, and how to get en_DK locale to work in X.
