Well, revB comes with a bundled USB keyboard/mouse doesnt it? You can still connect it when running linux and work :) On 9/5/06, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We use a rev B model with bluetooth mouse/keyboard from Apple.

Tested bluetooth today, exchanging files with my mobile phone and it works. On 9/5/06, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, revB comes with a bundled USB keyboard/mouse doesnt it?

Guys you could read the replies. It is said that in edgy eft it is fixed. I've tried it on my problematic single g5 and it works, with sound and everything (except bluetooth i guess) Just wait for edgy to be released :) On 9/4/06, cruiseoveride [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: These problems are very specific to ubuntu, as a similar setup (linux kernel, gdm, gnome etc) forund on Fedora Core work perfectly on the new iMac. I suggest someone install Fedora Core and use it for deubugging to catch the symbols coming from gdm during the freeze point on ubuntu. -- iMac G5 will freeze after booting up https://launchpad.net/bugs/23445 -- - morthul surinen fenya quelli (R.I.P 0x7D4) -- iMac G5 will freeze after booting up https://launchpad.net/bugs/23445 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 23445] Re: [Bug 23445] Re: iMac G5 will freeze after booting up
Anyway the real problem (maybe needing fixing) is that in manually editing partitions there's no obvious way to create an Apple_bootstrap partition. Yes, I came across this too - it's listed as a bug the Ubuntu graphical installer bug wiki. You can either use mac-fdisk to create a boot partition (and the installer will write to this at the end despite saying it can't see the partition at the start) or use the text installer. Back to this bug, though: I managed to compile the 2.6.17.11 kernel in Dapper using the g5_defconfig setting by halting X Windows from loading and playing in the terminal. Incredibly, I have a working (and very fast) Dapper, just minus the sound. This includes fan control. I'm having a play right now to see if I can get the sound going. -- iMac G5 will freeze after booting up https://launchpad.net/bugs/23445 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If anyone could offer some direction or an xconf, that'd be great. PS.

You'll see when you get there. I had my Airport working. See http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?=142727 It needs to grab your Airport firmware from /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleAirport2 Again you will see when you read the howto. I suppose needing to find the firmware yourself makes AirPort not working not a bug, but could someone get into dapper a script that does it automatically (since the modules for hfs+ are in the installer cd anyway we could grab a copy of it and set up AirPort automatically. -- iMac G5 will freeze after booting up https://launchpad.net/bugs/23445 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
