Re: imac rev b mic input broke under etch

Hi!

I have recently installed etch onto my iMac revision b, which ALSA
tells me uses the Burgundy sound chipset. I have sound playback
working but I've been able to record anything via the mic input, which
I know is still working as I tried recording under OSX before I
installed etch. I have tried recording with arecord, audacity, sweep
and jokosher but had no luck with any of them.

Is this a flaw with 2.6.18-4 kernel or is mic input just not supported
on my platform? Has mic input ever worked on imac rev b linux under
the 2.6 kernel? Does it work under the 2.4 kernel?


I have tried too without success, you mean the bondi blue model?

I only obtained a beautiful rumor when i raised the mic volume to 100% 
with aumix, so the mic works but it still doesn't rec :( .

Are you in the scanner group?

Investigate opening up a shell, and typing groups.

If you are not in the scanner group, as root, or with sudo, type adduser 
"yourusername" scanner .


Then log out, log in and retry.

Also, a quick test: try to use it as root.

Btw, i use it sometimes on an imac with etch together with xsane ( 
apt-get install xsane and you should have everything you need ) and 
works fine.

imac g3 installation problem

2006-05-27 Thread Giulio Canevari

Hello,

i have just received as a gift an Imac G3 233 Mhz with 96 mb of ram and 
a 4 GB hd with macos 8.1, where the "monitor" contains the processor and 
so on.


It seems to have a damaged cdrom reader, i can't boot holding c the 
debian business card cd ( burned correctly ). It doesn't also read disks 
within mac os 8.1 . I don't know if it is possible to connect a normal 
ide ( not slim ) unit externally, the cable is not standard as far as i 
know.


I would like to install sarge from usb, but from the install.en.pdf ( ch 
4.4.1 ) i have seen that i should use mac-fdisk in order to partition 
the key, and i have found out that with my desktop ( an intel ) i have 
not a mac-fdisk command nor it seems to exists.


from fddisk i have only a 41  PPC PReP Boot partition type.

What should i do so?

p.s. note that i already use sarge on the x86 from a while.

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunatly i don't have a net card for the x86, i'll think about
buying a cheap one plus a cable.

The data connection for the CD-ROM is standard.If you have a  
working CD-ROM lying around you could take the skins off the iMac and  
hook it up.  Don't worry about the audio traces.


I have done a really poor photo ( done some nights ago whilst inspecting
the hw and creating an image of the whole hd with dd on my x86, i have
simply removed the hd and putted it on ata1 master on the desktop ) and
it seem to have no power cable, and the back of the thin cdrom reader
has a circuit before the cable. I also don't remember if there is a
spare power connector.

I have uploaded it on
http://giuliogiuseppecarlo.interfree.it/TMP/Imac-cdrom.jpg  .

I have also a spare cdwriter ( 5.25 standard pc bay )

In the event the disk is partitioned, you could use the MAC OS to put  
the bootstrap on an HFS partition and boot it from OF.  But proceed  
carefully you won't get another chance after repartitioning the disk  
for debian.


For now i'll think i'll wait monday or tuesday and i'll buy the net card.

The problem is that with mem stick i'm unable to do an apple bootstrap
partition.

But i have had an idea: can someone create a blank image with dd that
fits into my usb key, partition with mac-fdisk ( of course if it
supports using a file as a device ) as described into debian install
guide [1], compress it to the best ( bzip2 or maybe even better 7zip )
and send it to me?

The command here is:
 dd if=/dev/zero of=image.img count=247296
to create a 126615552 byte image, that is the poor size of my usb key.

Then i'll try putting it to the key always with dd, hfsutils are also
avaible on x86.

[1]
you will need to repartition the stick. On Mac systems, run mac-fdisk 

/dev/sda, initialise a
new partition map using the i command, and create a new partition of 

type Apple_Bootstrap using
the C command. (Note that the first "partition" will always be the 

partition map itself.)

then, if it works, bzip2 -9 image.img or 7za a image.7z image.img

After that following chaper 4.4.2. Copying the files -- the flexible way
i should be able to boot from usb.

In the meantime, you can still install Linux, but you must

In setting up your netboot environment, you must take

Done this way with hfs utils. Found out that there is also an handy

The CD still desn't work, the firmware was ok and the modem has been
updated.

Now i'll try to find some notebook with a net card and linux wanting to
spend some time in this experiment. The imac is by far to heavy to be
transported in places i can't reach with a car :(

But a question is: isn't it possible in some ways to install the base
system from my x86 [e.g. with qemu-system-ppc]?

Or this will lead to non-proper configuration when replugging the hd on 
the imac? Once i'll install the very base system i will be able to use 
the usb key within linux, so it should be ok.


A questions before the problem appears is the following: let's say i 
want to have the same packages i have on the x86 ( dpkg --get-selections 
>list.txt ).


How can i do to get the urls of the corresponding powerpc packages in 
order to be able to send the list to a friend of mine that has the adsl 
( usually i send him a list for wget ) so he can download them?


Another little question: is ram usage with ppc compiled package similar 
to x86, or greater? I have tried to append mem=96m ( actually i have 256 
mb ) to the grub boot entry and with my x86 everything i plan to use 
works fine, i would like to know if the situation with imac will be 
better, similar or worser.

boot from ethernet with imac g3

2006-05-31 Thread Giulio Canevari

Hello,

i have found out that putting the net card on another pci slot on my x86 
doesn't lead to instability ;) .


I think solution isn't that far. I try to explain everything i did and 
what happened.


So far i did the following after having installed the net card:
1) ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
2) iptables -F
3) edited the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file, now it looks this way, and i 
believe the problem is here somewhere. As i've got really poor 
experience with nets, please take a look at it, thank you. Commented 
where i have doubt.


In macos 8.1 i have found out an app ( and i have already lost where is 
) that reports hw address of the eth is 00 05 02 43 6E 82 and says that 
the mac has an ip of 41201.173 (?) .


The


option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers ns1.example.com;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

max-lease-time 7200;
server-name "debian"; # debian comes from hostname output
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

a good thing
}

   server-name "debian"; # always from hostname
   hardware ethernet 00:05:02:43:6E:82; # taken from some app in the mac
   fixed-address   192.168.1.2; # here is what i tought to be a good 
ip...
}



4) created /tftpboot/ with these files:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 giulio giulio 104062976 2006-04-20 02:44 
debian-31r2-powerpc-businesscard.iso

-r--r--r--  1 giulio giulio  2602 2006-04-20 00:00 yaboot-netboot.conf

5) checked if file /etc/inet.d contained the following line:
tftpdgram   udp waitnobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd 
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd /tftpboot


6) restarted dhcp:
 /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart

7) booted the imac keeping pressed alt-apple-o-f

8) typed boot enet:0 ( tried also boot enet:0,yaboot )
what i obtain is:

Client 000502436e82 192.168.1.2

The problem was in the yaboot.conf file:

here is how it looks now:


device=enet:

init-message="Debian GNU/Linux Network boot"
default=linux

image=vmlinux

append="DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low devfs=mount,dall init=/linuxrc"
read-only


So now it boots, it search for the cdrom, the cdrom of course doesn't
work even with linux, and i'm still blocked.

I'm unable to partition the hd nor to fetch at least the base packages
from the net with the internal modem with ppp, the installer seems to be
targeted only at cdrom install.

In fact only these steps are avaible:

main-menu,languagechooser,countrychooser,kbd-chooser,hw-detect,cdrom-detect,cdrom-checker,shell 


.

So i don't have
netcfg,iso-scan,choose-mirror,partman,autopartkit,partitioner,partconf,base-installer,os-prober,bootloader-installer,base-config

Actually i have got the debian-businnesscard iso [ from wich i have took
the kernel, yaboot and so on placed in /tftpboot ], it fits the usb key
but i don't know how to reach and use it.

The usb key is seen as /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc on the
mac, i can cat/head and so on the raw content, but i am unable to mount
it. Actually it has a vfat fs on top.

What should i do now?

Debian-installer comes in different flavours intended for different
uses. The main thing that differs are the modules available in the
initrd, in your case you should try to install everything from the
net, that is net-install. Let me quote an earlier post to this list
about the debian-installer:

...

B. From where is the debian-installer to get its *own modules* (needed
for its own functioning)?

1. From the removable media (CDROM or usb) that started the debian-installer at 
boot
2. From .iso-file on local harddisk (Filesystem must be readable by the debian-installer, which exludes HFS+) 
3. From the net (internet or local debian-mirror) 

...

You control B by choosing what images you will use. I *think* any
image can be started in any of the tree ways outlined in A (thus
netboot does NOT imply a tftp boot).

"Netboot" means B:3 
"Hd-media" means B:2

"Business" means B:1

I think that you can choose C1 and C2 at install time (if you run the
installer at a low enough priority)

...

Actually i have got the debian-businnesscard iso [ from wich i have took
the kernel, yaboot and so on placed in /tftpboot ], 



I think that when you use the initrd from the businesscard flavor that
means B:1, so you will have to use a usb-stick to load parts of the
installer. Another strategy is to download an kernel+initrd from the


On http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ i read something like this ( i 
translate it in poor english ):


These images contain only the minimum necessary to boot the 
installation, so only those part of the installer needed to configure 
the net access so that you can download other components of the 
installer system.


After having installed the very base system my idea is to perform an 
apt-get upgrade and give the list of packages to download  to a friend 
of mine with a fast connection.


This way:
dpkg --get-selection >list.txt from my x86
dpkg --set-selections And then, once i have got the packages, i'll try to install an ftp 
server on my x86 to finish the install ( even if i don't know how i can 
organize the structure of the dirs, iirc there is an automated tool but 
i don't remember its name ).



I'm CC:ing debian-boot@lists.debian.org in order to get advice from
the really knowledgeable people on this subject.


I'll keep the address and i cc to.

Boot from macos 8.1 on g3

Now the problem is that the woody installer pointed out on that link (

If i copy the sarge one i doubt something will change, unless it's not

imac g3 base system ok

2006-06-08 Thread Giulio Canevari

Hello,

i have found out how to joke the installer, and use the usb key as 
cdrom, so i can mount the fake cdrom and install debian.


I write here how i did in case someone is interested.

Always booted from ethernet with open firmware.

After this step i choosed start a shell,

then:

cd /dev/cdroms/
rm cdrom0

dd the debian businnescard iso to the /dev/sda on my x86 ( be sure, sda 
is my key on my system, if you have a scsi hd you'll have terrible 
problems... )


found out the position of the usb key on the mac ( /dev/scsi/something )

created a symlink with ln -s /dev/scsi/something /dev/cdroms/cdrom0

The installer started ;) after i choosed detect cdrom and start 
installation.


After that i have been able to use an iso of netinst ( bigger than my 
usb key ) mounted in /var/www ( for apache ) choosing the ip of my x86

Errors with usb stick

2006-06-08 Thread Giulio Canevari

Hello,

every time i plug in the usb memory stick i get these messages ( on 
stderr ):



usb 1-2.3: new full speed USB device using address 8
scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: AVIXE Model: PDU01_128 2.0 Rev: 0.00

SCSI error: host 4 id 0 lun 0 return code = 802
Sense class 7, sense error 0, extended sense 0
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended




In particular, what does the following means?


SCSI error: host 4 id 0 lun 0 return code = 802
Sense class 7, sense error 0, extended sense 0


A part from this the key seem to work fine.

Thank you,

XFree86 Config on imac g3

2006-06-12 Thread Giulio Canevari

Hello,

i have obtained the packages ( sarge ) and i have installed them. Seem 
to work quite well.


I have anyay some various ( little to say the truth ) problems...

I start with the Xfree config:

1) it has an ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage IIC 215IIC [Mach64 GT IIC] .
This means no opengl via hardware, right?

2) What are correct sync values for the built in monitor? So far i can
only get 1024x768, and i can't even change resolution, even if i
specidied 640*480. Iirc in mac os they were, for vertical, 117 hz for 
640*480, 97 for 800*600 and 75 for 1024*768 .


3) The keyboard numeric pad sometimes doens't work properly. Sometimes
is works, sometimes no... . There isn't also a | ( for pipes ) key, and
without X some keys are swapped. Are there different maps to try out?

4) The 1 button mouse isn't that handy to say an eufemism, i have 
installed mouseemu but this has stolen some keys that are important for 
some apps ( F10 and F11 ). Other solutions?


Just to know if it is possible, can i use a normal pc mouse and keyboard?

i attach the current XF86Config-4

Thank you in advance,
