Re: iMac/nvidia sleep
Simply, don't buy hardware with nvidia graphics in it, and you should have no such problems :) You could have told me so earlier! :-P ;-) Best regards, Maximilian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Debian on ibook
Hi Mark, I'd suggest you get a Ubuntu Breezy/ppc install disc (or it's live version if you just want to test it) from ubuntu.com and install that. Ubuntu is more or less Debian preconfigured for desktop usage. That should solve most, if not all, your issues.

Re: I need some advice with my ppc64
Hey Martin, did you try the Ubuntu PPC version? With the 'power4' kernel option (or so - should be shown when you're booting the system) you *should* be able to boot it. Why don't you grab a live cd and just try it? Best regards, Maxi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: I need some advice with my ppc64
Hi Martin, I quickly searched the forums and found that there are quite some people happily running Ubuntu on their G5s. And plenty of others which have problems with it. That seems to be related to a Debian/Ubuntu error in yaboot. Maybe it is fixed now - you can find todays live CDs here: http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/daily-live/20050812/ If they work you might consider giving a Breezy install a try.. With the 'power4' kernel option (or so - should be shown when you're booting the system) you *should* be able to boot it. Why don't you grab a live cd and just try it? The correct syntax that made some peoples G5s boot is: install video=ofonly -power4 at the installer prompt i will take a photo of the screen next time i boot one of them. I'm not sure if I'm the right person for that ;) How about sending it to the Debian/Ubuntu PPC people in case it still doesn't work? Unfortunately I don't own one of those gorgeous beasts ;) Ciao, Maxi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: My Debian/MacMini web pages
I suppose ubuntu is certainly worth a try, It is. :) but my immediate problem is preparing a hard disk partition for Linux in Mac mini. Try it with the OS X Install CD/DVD. Pop it in, press 'C' during boot (starting from when you hear the chime) and then search the menubar for the 'harddisk service program' (Or something like that. Sorry, badly translated German ;).) There you can split partitions, delete, resize, and so on. I'm afraid you will have to reinstall OS X after that, so make sure to have a current backup.

Re: bootsplash
Around Ubuntu there are developing some Usermode bootsplashes which you should check out. One is Splashy/UPower - http://nanofreesoft.org/index.php/index.php?module=subjectsfunc=viewpagepageid=1 It's not as nice as the 'native' bootsplashes (yet) but already much nicer than scrolling white text on black ground ;) Greets, Maxi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: ppc32: Rework power management take #3
Hi Wolfi, I have the same Powerbook model and it's running Ubuntu unstable; Breezy. Suspend to disk works like a charm, even without the new patch applied. And in X. Maybe you could try that?! Should I send you a kernel .deb or something like that? Greets, Maxi Today I applied the two mentioned patches to rc5-git6. There were quite a lot of offsets and one time fuzz 2 (hunk 10 in via-pm.c). But still I get a freeze on my PowerBook6,2 (12, 1Ghz from Dec. 2004) when I suspend to disk from X. If I suspend from tty1 the first time, the following suspends work well even from X. Thanks for your work, Wolfi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: ppc32: Rework power management take #3
Which kernel version are you using? Breezy has 2.6.10 and 2.6.11.2 if I see this correctly and 2.6.10 is working here without problems too. I'm running 2.6.10. When suspending to disk I *only* do a 'echo disk /sys/power/state'. Nothing else. Maxi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PB Wallstreet doesn't boot from a new hdd
Hi everyone, I'm sorry to bother you with a not really debian-ppc related question, but google didn't help and I think here are the people that are really knowledged and may help me. Plus it's been not too much traffic in the last days, so I think I can dare it ;) So here's my problem: I replaced the internal 2 gig drive of the Wallstreet with an IBM 8 gig one. When installing OSX.2 the drive was correctly recognized. I partioned it and installed the OS. No errors so far. But when the laptop rebooted to start into the newly installed OS nothing happens. I hear the hdd spinnung up and down, but nothing gets loaded. Are there any ideas which black magic is required to get the PB load the OS from the new drive? Thanks a lot!, Maxi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: PB Wallstreet doesn't boot from new hdd
Though it should all have been solved by installing OS-X, did you try pressing command - option - P - R while booting? Normally solves this kind of boot probs after installing debian Pressing this key combination let the computer restart (and reset the PRAM, I suppose?!) but afterwards the same problem with the same symptons appeared again.

Hi Rainer, hi vinai, thanks for your responses!

Re: Airport Extreme via QEmu
Rats. There goes that idea :-( That makes sense that ndiswrapper works in kernel space. Well - thats not perfectly true. If you search a bit more (try qemu ndiswrapper, e.g.) than you find that _theoretically_ there is a possibility to write a driver that uses qemu to load i386 modules into a ppc kernel (or something like that ;).) So - the only thing left is to find someone familiar with qemu, kernel developing, too much time and an Airport Extreme ;) Maxi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Ubuntu hoary experiences anyone?
Hi Timo, I'm running hoary on my powerbook 12. It's running nice. Somewhen some problems, but you should expect this when running a development version. Nothing really evil though, most of the problems are solved by the next 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. If you don't fear tinkering, you should try it. Greets, Maxi
