I usually copy and paste by emulating the second and third button on the mouse (or even more simple, attaching an external USB mouse :P). My procedure: Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and append: dev.mac_hid.mouse_button2_keycode = 88 dev.mac_hid.mouse_button3_keycode = 87 Restart. Whoo, restart? Oh, my! Geez! Yes, restart.

The same bullshit over and over. Bullshit that I won't argue because it's useless, nothing is achieved and things and people are lost, just as has already happened with your attitude.

I haven't done anything to kill a port. I haven't even worked on a port yet. Why would I want to kill it if that port is the main thing I use everyday on my ppc machine? > /me wonders if not-respect of the social contract is ground enough to > expell a DD, since every DD agreed to the social contract, and promised > to respect it. That's a long story in Debian. Why did you advocate the social contract then if we have a private mailing list where we wash our own dirty clothes? It's a hypocrite to cover under social contract after being inside the umbrella of -private, don't ya think? Besides, if Debian is so freaking evil, why are you still here? Really? Have you checked Gentoo? That's also a nice Linux project, why not try that? Probably they do respect their own Debian-based social contract: http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/contract.xml Or probably not.

RE: please help investigate potential gcc / kernel ICE on powerpc32 machines in lenny/sid.
Please, yet again, stop personal attacks against developers. That could be the cause to get banned again from this list. Sent from a mobile device. -Mensaje original- De: "Sven Luther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org Enviado: 21/08/07 04:34 a.m. Asunto: please help investigate potential gcc / kernel ICE on powerpc32 machines in lenny/sid. Hi, ... I ask for volunteers to help investigate the bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=438504 I tried investigating it, despite what was done to me, and it appears on both my -mitx board and ag-'s powerbook G4. It does not appear on the augsbourg powerpc64 machines, which means something is fishy, and since the debian project has expulsed me, i am not able to test this on the official debian machines. It seems Martin Michlmair has said he tested it on a official debian machine, but on the same time Bastian Blank says : (10:37:53)< waldi> ag-: unable to check, the debian ppc32 machines are broken So, i wonder who is telling the truth, or if there is some kind of confusion going on. This bug is RC, since it stops the kernel from being built on the debian powerpc autobuilders, which means the powerpc port does not satisfy the release rules. Furthermore, this is one more case where the vendetta of a small vocal minority of DDs against me, is hurting the whole port, since i cannot investigate it using debian machines, and since i am banned from most debian lists and irc channels where this could be discussed. I am sorry to bring this up one more time, but it is urgent that someone else steps up, and investigates this kind of issues, or the powerpc debian port will go one more step to oblivion. I am sorry that this happens, but i have done what i could, and have been hurt too much by debian's leadership, who refuse any mediation or normalization of this mess, despite my continuous good will and appeals at conciliation.

Just to get a simpler map over here: You were mounting rw the iPod and then unplugged it without unmounting and then you could mount it but without writing privileges?
