Intel's Powertop
Hello everyone, today I stumbled upon this new project from Intel: www.linuxpowertop.com and I have noticed it entered Debian's repository. So I compiled it on my iBook and tried to run it, but I didn't get any results. The only suggestion that comes out is to configure CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y in my kernel. So I have checked for it in the config of my stock 2.6.20 on ppc and that option is not even included, while it is set to y on my AMD64 machine. I therefore assume that it's an x86 specific feature that will not be available on ppc? Or is it just a matter of time?

With .18 all networks are at 100% of signal, while with .20 they have different values. Could it be that .20 is actually more honest in evaluating the signal strength? Or is it having problems in connecting also because it sees less signal?

Hi there, I am fighting since the last couple of days with the network configuration on my iBook running Sid: I cannot apply new settings to my network configuration unless I reboot. I'll show you what I mean: a) Before rebooting I deactivated all interfaces.

Weird artifacts on resume from sleep using Compiz
Hello list, and merry christmas to everyone! I was toying around with compiz+AIGLX on my iBook G4 (ATi 9200) and I am really impressed by the performance of the thing. I have a few gripes with the performance of some applications (Totem doesn't seem to be able to go fullscreen while mplayer can, some 3D games tend to show a black screen... nothing very important anyway) but it's bearable. What really annoys me is the appearing of artifacts after resuming from sleep. You can see what I mean from this screenshot: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3184/pippoql7.jpg More artifacts appear at the borders of the gnome menu when I open items, as well as on the bottom panel. I guess I could file a bug against the radeon driver, but I am not sure. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[bcm43xx] Two little issues
Hi there list, I have bought very recently an Airport Extreme for my iBook G4 and I am very satisfied with it: it worked without effort on the first shot using the normal kernel on my Debian Sid install. I am using the firmware that debconf suggested me to download after installing fwcutter (it comes from a wl_apsta.o file).The performance is excellent (I managed 1.5MB/s downloads from Debian servers ). Two little problems (that arguably have the same solution) bother me though: 1) Sometimes when I boot my system, the airport is locked and gives the error: SIOCGIFFLAGS error: no devices found I have read around it should be a firmware problem (btw, fwcutter complained about getting a newer firmware version: any idea where to find that?). I have tried removing the bcm43xx kernel module, reinserting it and restarting the networking but it does not work, the device remains unavailable. The only cure is a reboot. 2) I can put my iBook to sleep (suspend to ram) and wake it without having problems in resuming the connection (very impressive btw!!!). But if I move out of the range of the AP I was connected prior to sleep, on wakeup the card does not find any signal and I am forced (again) to reboot. So I guess the question is: what is the right way to reinitialize the card from scratch, without having to force a reboot?

iBook and batteries
Hello List, following the recall of 1.8 million Sony batteries from iBooks and PowerBooks G4 (for those who don't know yet: https://support06.apple.com/index.html) I started looking for some info on my battery's health. My iBook is 32 months old and around the 24th month I noticed a sudden loss in battery performance: I thought it was related to some changes in power management under linux (never really had the nerves to use OSX as long as the battery life...), but (using a small .app called coconutBattery) I have now found out that only 69% of my battery is still alive after *only* 167 charge cycles. Now that's some lousy performance if you ask me, although I guess only complete charge-discharge cycles are counted. My question is: could you make a small survey on the health of your batteries, to see if we (as linux users) have a problem with that or if we are pretty much average? Would it be possible to access such information from linux too? Maybe something in /proc, who knows. Oh, and since we're on the topic: did anybody of you experience problems with your batteries, such as overheating, swelling and such? Thanks for reading so far! P.S.: Btw, isn't it sweet to get a free battery after almost three years of usage... -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

It actually gives 3039 of max_charge which is 69% of the original 4400. My battery gets very hot while charging, but this is was ever so.

/dev/pmu permissions, again
Hello list, after this morning's upgrade on my iBook (Sid), when I log in in Gnome I get the dreaded Wrong permissions for /dev/pmu error dialog. I googled and I found the workaround of adding pmu:root:video:0660 in udev.rules, but that does not work. On reboot /dev/pmu has 660 permissions but on root:root. Tried grepping /etc/udev/* for other pmu instances, but couldn't find any. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks! -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Powernowd on iBook
Hello there list, after two years of compiling my own kernels (when I installed Debian on my iBook it was necessary...) I have decided to switch to Debian kernels (2.6.16-12). Everything went fine, but I have one problem: powernowd does not work anymore. It complains on boot that kernel modules are missing. Can anybody tell me which kernel modules are to be loaded for an iBook G4?

If you want java functionalities in your browser, I suggest to switch to Opera: Opera does not rely on libjavaplugin_oijc.so but uses directly the JVM to render the applets. -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I need a browser that will work with most commercial sites in the US. They seems to be IE specific and are picky about others. Once you have installed opera (check out the forums on opera.com, you might find an apt-get repository!) open the preferences and in the Advanced tab select Programs and then Java Options. Now enter the path to the /$JAVA_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/lib and validate the Java Path.

iBook G4: screen garbled in Gnome after today's upgrade
Hello there list, I have some problems with my iBook G4 (ATi 9200). Today I updated my Sid after some time and I installed as much of Gnome 2.12 I could and upgraded completely X.org to 6.9. The result is that the desktop keeps reloading itself like this: http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/7052/image0445jz.jpg The applications called from the panel work good (look at the terminal for example), as do actually the icons on the desktop. I wouldn't file a bug until Gnome 2.12 is completely in Sid-PPC, but I suspect this behaviour to be nautilus-related. Any comments?
