As far as I can see, the version in testing on i386 seems to be working (but I don't use it frequently, since most of my texts I use LaTeX). So, my advice would be to stick with testing and, perhaps, do some apt-pinning, if necessary.

We have good reasons to switch away from X back to console as X tend to do bad things that I won't enumerate here. Removing that would require some significantly reworked interaction between X and the kernel and may not be suitable for all suspend modes (some x86 junk do actually require the screen to go back to BIOS-like text mode for suspend). So I have no real incentive to change that, besides, it's not like sleep was stable enough on all machines yet :) Ben.
Re: bootsplash
Of course, not problem. The main thing you must put in your yaboot.conf is to tell the kernel to switch to a 1024x768 and 32 depth framebuffer and link that kernel with the initrd you've created with the splash utils. YABOOT CONFIG: boot=/dev/hda4 device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: partition=6 root=/dev/hda6 timeout=100 install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot enablecdboot macosx=/dev/hda3 image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.9 label=Linux read-only initrd=/boot/initrd-bs <--- This and next are bootsplash related append="root=/dev/hda6 video=radeonfb:1024x768-32 splash=silent" END As you see, most things are not related here, but I've put the full yaboot.conf file. And the themes you can find them in the bootsplash page: http://www.bootsplash.de/ Downloads section: http://www.bootsplash.de/files/ Actually I'm using this theme: http://www.bootsplash.de/files/themes/Theme-DangerGirl.tar.bz2 -- David Rodriguez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

OpenOffice.org
Argh!!! I've been trying to install OpenOffice.org with no success. Let me tell you what I've tried: I've tried to download it from YDL's FTP site but the setup gude doesn't correspond to the contents of what the installer files should have. It's says to compile it from a ./setup shell script but it really has a ./configure script. I executed to script as the root in Terminal and I entered into grep. It then asked me to give a directory to intall it into. I guessed and created a folder in /usr/lib and called the folder Ooo. I tried getting grep to install the files into the folder I created but It's not accepting it. That was Strike One. Strike Two: I saw in Debian's Mailing Lists that some guy found a website that contained workable installer files for the PPC. He mentioned that it could be downloaded manually or also done by adding the website into the sources.list file. I did it with vi. The source list is deb http://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/mirror/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/testing main contrib Unfortunately this did'nt work either. apt-get said this: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be main/contrib Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be_pub_mirror_ftp.vpn-junkies.de_openoffice_testing_dists_main_contrib_binary-powerpc_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) I'm really frustrated but I guess that's how it is to work with linux for the first time.

debian ppc64
Hi, I have done some work on porting debian to the powerpc64. The original post: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/10/msg00193.html I also made some bug reports to add support for the powerpc architecture. One missing is the one against dpkg (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=263743). Who is the "powerpc64 port team"? What is the correct name of the architecture? I see that you need a kernel. Maybe this helps: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/07/msg00449.html Good luck with the port. Is there a malling list? Rafael

You can create the partition, and once it is written (while it is downloading stuff, but before yaboot-installer is run), you go to console 2, and run parted, and do a set prep on (try print to find your ). partman-prep has not yet been written, volunteers welcome to do it, look at d-i webpage on how to gte the svn tree, and then look at partman-palo which is quite similar to what we need. > I tried whith a "do not use" but this did not triggered the installer . > > I'm thinking of creating a new iso image with an "old" cfdisk on it and > partitionning in the shell if possible.

But I have a problem in partionning: It's a new (for me) tool : partman and I can't find how to create a PReP boot partition with it. (There's no choice for it nor an obvious way to force code x41). I tried whith a "do not use" but this did not triggered the installer .

No. CHRP and PReP share the same partition type to boot from, but they boot different things. CHRP machines boot ELF executables (like yaboot or CHRP vmlinux images). PReP machines boot PReP boot images. So, you will write the yaboot executable (stamped with the correct note section) to the PReP boot partition on a CHRP machine. Cheers, Leigh.

Well, do you mean that the CHRP box boots like a PReP machine ? And if so, why not dropping in the PReP partition the vmlinux patched whith preptools as I did for my 43P-140 ?

Otherwise, I'd repeat the installation, this time making sure to create the PReP boot partition. Also, make sure yaboot is installed during the installation. With luck, having the correct boot partition and yaboot installed might trigger the installer to do the right thing. If not, drop back into a shell at the end of the installer and manually setup and configure yaboot before rebooting. Reading through the yaboot docs before this may make things easier.

They are designed to do this to dissipate the heat. If you need the machine to run with the lid closed, you need a PowerBook. I don't think it's wise trying to find a way around it, since you will probably fry the machine (particularly as it seems to run much hotter whilst running Linux than OS X). -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org pgpfu0yOhLaBR.pgp Description: PGP signature

There are a couple of issues here: 1. CD images must be built with the -U option to work on RS6K firmware. 2. yaboot needs to be stamped (via ybin) with the note section. 3. The /ppc/bootinfo.txt needs to be created to use autoboot. I guess I can raise a bug for these once I've confirmed that autoboot from CD is working for you.

I had to chuckle to my self, I was looking for sd(x) for the device and totally over looked the sr0. I got the drive to read cdroms but under gnome nautilus it does not reconize the device to write. The dmesg says: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for IEEE-1394 SBP-2 Devices sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray /dev shows l cdrom* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 28 21:31 cdrom -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 2 02:09 cdrom1 -> sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 2 02:11 cdrom2 -> hdc -adam

Everything done, and...
All's fine! I am now in the install process!
Thanks a lot.
May be useful to report to Debian ? I don't know how.

entering sleep mode quietly/non-verbose
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, each time my ibook g3 enters sleep mode, the displays switches from graphics to text console and displays some kernel stufff, which is pretty useful for debugging etc. But this doesn't look really pretty in everyday operations - especially for people who are not interesting in kernel debugging every day ;-) So I wonder if there is this option somewhere in the kernel or in which BTS I should submit this wishlist bug ;-) regards, Holger (who likes debug infos - but who also likes to turn them off - sometimes ;) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBrtkFUHLQNqxYNSARArGgAJ9RX4SrL7Pb0/DhSLRkby3YXrE+OgCeJa+R irZDEWAUuSwlX0QmnFIv3Ls= =nh4T -END PGP SIGNATURE-

There have been several people asking for it when it was removed, or asking for removal when it was included. I should be able to make this kind of patch if needed. Regards -- Cedric Pradalier

Do we have something like that in Debian kernels? It is disabled in the official kernel. You can roll your own kernel of course, which in Debian is very easy thanks to kernel-package, and include the feature. Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe!
