package containing icu-config
Trying to compile a software, the configure fails complaining for missing icu-config. I have already installed icu-devtools and libicu-dev. Which package should I install? Are there a way to query which package contains a particular file (maybe through apt-get or apt-cache, or even a service on the web)? -- Mick
Issue with dependency and packages availability
Hello Today I'm taking my ibookG4 out of his box, with the aim of a simple daily use (I' currently writing with Thunderbird running on it). I had some issues installing the wireless related packages, and I thought it was an isolated case, but I found similar issue installing emacs, so I wonder if there are something in my apt configuration which I should check. The issue is, as example: The following packages have unmet dependencies: emacs : Depends: emacs-gtk (>= 1:27.1) but it is not installable or emacs-lucid (>= 1:27.1) but it is not installable or emacs-nox (>= 1:27.1) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Than with "apt-get install emacs-lucid": The following packages have unmet dependencies: emacs-lucid : Depends: emacs-bin-common (= 1:27.1+1-3) but it is not going to be installed Depends: emacs-common (= 1:27.1+1-3) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. The firs time I noticed it was installing firmware-b43-installer, which required b43-fwcutter which is not available. I resolve downloading and installing an old version of such packages. Any hint? -- Mick

Very bad! After the complete update, since long time (see, the other email), I got from my iBookG4 just a black screen. I can see the boot logging until the graphic card initialization, then I have no way to interact. I also tried to load the old kernel (from yaboot menu), but the result is the same.

It complains for proc filesystem non mounted, but I cannot mount procfilesys in my chroot-ed partition. So I suppose I can do the following (if someone want to confirm it): - boot with SID netinst CD - mount the root partition of newly installed system on my ibook - mount the /proc directory on the proc subdir of my system partition - maybe I'll do the same with sys directory - chroot to my system partition - run ybin from there (yaboot package already downgraded) - reboot all the system -- Mick

On new ibooks (from last week on) airport extreme is built-in and maybe it is not possible to remove it (can someone chek it out?). So usb seems the only solution right now. I'm amazed. What's the point buying hardware you won't be able to use and which forces you to buy additional hardware? How about refusing to play Apple's game instead? You will not find a sub-notebook which plays nicely with linux for the price of an iBook G4. Sleep support will not work on most other notebooks either - with the apple you might get suspend to disk working. I would say that Linux support for the iBook G4 is rather good. The real drawback is that you can not use the airport extreme and you can not replace it with some mini-PCI card since the latest iBooks have some proprietary connector ( not mini-PCI ). So for wifi, you need to get an USB adaptor. And you should keep in mind that you can not run x86 binaries on this system ( since it is PPC ) which is a problem when it comes to certain browser plugins ( flash ) and video/audio codecs. But if you want a real mobile notebook with long lasting batteries and low weight running Linux, the iBook is a good and certainly the cheapest choice. -Arne That is true about the iBook. I have tried a few laptops that cost more and were a hell of a hastle to setup under linux. www.linuxlaptops.org (or whatever that site is), does help out with some x86 laptops but it never had the ones that I ended up using.

debianppc list and sven virus
I think that sombody's box on the debianppc mailing list has the Sven virus. After subscribing, I get 100+ e-mails that say that they are from Microsoft. I talked to some people at the local linux user group and thats what they told me. Anyone else have this problem? If this is indeed the case, and someone happens to be running windows --- please use an anti-virus :o) pleez Any more mail and I will cringe. thanks, - Mick (o Web / software developer ( ) UNIX Systems Admin --- ~ www.mickweiss.com ~ -- NEU FÜR ALLE - GMX MediaCenter - für Fotos, Musik, Dateien...

apple hardware docs.
I asked Apple about their hardware documentation (I forwarded a thread from debianppc that talked about how they wouldn't release it), I got a very helpful reply from Apple. I would like to forward this: All available documentation regarding Apple hardware can be found at the website below: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Hardware.html I hope you find this information useful. If you require any additional info rmation, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best Regards, Damian Harney Apple Developer Connection Worldwide Developer Relations If anyone needs help with writing a device driver for anything Apple related, it seems like they would help out where they could. At least, thats the impression that I get. If I was better at writting low-level stuff I would attempt this. Can anyone suggest any docs?
