Hi Giuseppe!
Battery:
If the battery status is not displayed correctly then open up the
terminal and type:
sudo modprobe pmu_battery
To make this permanent type the following:
sudo nano /etc/modules
Add the line
pmu_battery
sound:
To get sound working install alsa-utils and launch alsamixer
sudo apt install alsa-utils
alsamixer
Then hit fn+F6 (SoundByLayout)
go to the right and make sure you have PCM at 80<>80
ESC to exit alsamixer
You should have sound now…
Regards,
Jeroen

Hello,
I just installed (again) debian on an Apple PowerBook G4. It is a quite
old machine, but it fits my requirements. After having installed the
latest supported Debian release, I upgraded to sid using the ports
archive. A few think do not work, so I am asking how to fix them, if
possible.
First, kernels 5.6 and 5.7 do not boot at all. I opened a bug a few
days back (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=963689).
Second, the battery is not detected by upower, so it does not show up
in MATE. Third, audio is not working at all.
Do you have hints about how to solve these problems? I am willing to
spend some of my time in order to debug and, eventually, provide
patches.
Thank you,
Giuseppe
