Following a recommendation of Kevin Puetz, I've been playing MP'3 under xmms using the esound plugin (the OSS plugin doesn't work on PowerMac's right now). However I get a very scratchy sound, full of static, as if I was listening to a radio station under a lot of interference. Is anyone else hav

Stray f7 character when switching back to X from virtual console

When I switch back to X (Virtual Terminal 7), after having visited another virtual console, by pressing control-command-f7, a stray f7 character gets generated into whatever window I'm working at the moment in X. Is there any way to get rid of this? This doesn't happen with the other virtual (text

Renaud, I had that problem, too. (*Exactly* that problem.) It turned out that my housemate had written a script (in /etc/rc.boot) to set the clock properly back when we first installed the system (when hwclock was completely broken on the PowerPC), and that script was no longer working properly

clock troubles under Debian/PowerPC

I think I tracked down the reason why I keep getting the message: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.14/modules.dep modprobe: insmod * failed when booting. Before rebooting, I ran depmod -a to make sure that /lib/modules/2.2.14/modules.dep was more recent than /etc/modules.

Sorry about that - I have been doing far too little testing lately on packages I upload. The new zsh in frozen/unstable segfaults. Ditto zsh-beta. I am (frantically) debugging this. Dan /\ /\ | Daniel Jacobowitz|__|

Would it be possible to make xmms 0.9.5.1-5 available, to replace 0.9.5.1-4 in the PowerPC distribution? I can't play MP3's using 0.9.5.1-4, and according to a bug report, there is a bug that prevents xmms from working on PowerMac's, and is fixed in 0.9.5.1-5. Thanks, Renaud
