Vito ----- Original Message ---- From: Guy Paddock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: nubus-pmac-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Thursday, March 2, 2006 12:02:02 AM Subject: RE: [Nubus-pmac-users] Re: dependencies Vito, Here's a link to the Debian Package repo for the package you need from Debian testing: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=powerpc&file=pool%2Fmain %2Fg%2Fglibc%2Flibc6_2.3.5-13_powerpc.deb&md5sum=d65beac4bfdba472527af93ca81 79bff&arch=powerpc&type=main Choose a mirror and use wget or links to download the package to your system, then use dpkg to install it (dpkg --install <filename>). That should satisfy the deps you have. --Guy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vito Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 7:05 PM To: nubus-pmac-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nubus-pmac-users] Re: dependencies even a command that would help me extract it from the sarge install cd would be helpful. My vision of an easy ubuntu install has faltered - certainly it is not as easy as Peter's was. Vito ----- Original Message ---- From: Guy Paddock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: nubus-pmac-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, March 1, 2006 1:49:30 PM Subject: RE: [Nubus-pmac-users] Re: dependencies GLIBC is very important, sadly. If you use --nodeps -i to bypass the installation of the 2.6-dependent GLIBC, very few things will work. Dependencies aren't the problem if you're using the Debian experimental/unstable 2.4-dependent version of GLIBC, because the version is technically a higher version than any of the programs that need it depend on (thus, apt-get and dpkg are happy to install such programs without any problem). However, when you run programs that use threading, they'll complain "libpthreads requires GLIBC_2_3_3 or higher" or something like that (despite the fact that a more recent version is installed). Trying to install the Ubuntu version of GLIBC will get you an error during the configure step that says "libpthreads requires a 2.6 kernel". I believe that this is because the 2.6 kernel allows for no-execute protection and similar security enhancements, and Ubuntu's release of GLIBC uses this protection in the thread management code. Thus, any programs that use threading will fail with the Debian unstable build of the latest version of the 2.4 GLIBC because the thread handling is too different. --Guy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vito Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 3:29 PM To: nubus-pmac-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nubus-pmac-users] Re: dependencies Can I use the --nodeps -i arguement to bypass the dependency issues for this ubuntu install? Vito ----- Original Message ---- From: Guy Paddock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: nubus-pmac-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 2:44:48 PM Subject: RE: [Nubus-pmac-users] Re: Kernel 2.4.30 + MediaBay hotplug patches That will work. I did it to mine as well. Make sure that when the installer asks you if you want to install additional packages, you don't select anything! It makes the transition easier. Also, there are a few libraries in the Ubuntu repository that want the 2.6 kernel (GLIBC I believe). If you try to install them, it will fail to install properly. If you use the latest one from Debian's unstable or testing repository, it will install because Debian doesn't depend on 2.6. However, lots of things that use libpthreads in C will complain that the version of GLIBC isn't correct (they actually complain it's not the right version, even though it's more recent). Has anyone else had this problem? It mainly shows up if you install Gnome or KDE. Granted, both are slow on an old PB 1400 with 64 MB ram. --Guy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vito Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 4:29 PM To: nubus-pmac-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nubus-pmac-users] Re: Kernel 2.4.30 + MediaBay hotplug patches Thx Peter, I'll give this a try but I am a little primitive in my linux knowhow.

After an apt-get dist-upgrade my pb1400cs had Ubuntu Breezy installed.
