If it's Nautilus, just mark these partitions as mounted at boot time in /etc/fstab (or set this property in LinuxConf/Drakconf), nautilus will show an icon for each mounted volume on the desktop. If you don't, available volumes - I mean partitions listed in fstab - are also listed in the desktop right click menu and can be mounted by hand this way. If ot's Kde/Kdesktop, choose the "Create new -> partition entry" (or a similar expression, I don't remember) in the desktop right click menu. Then, change the properties (right click-> properties) to match the fstab entry for each partition. Then you can mount/umount these volumes by right clicking on them. Bertrand Dekoninck I

Apparently there is a conflict between the video card and the power management. Apple apparently worked around it yet but nobody on the Linux side has figured it out yet and well Apple isn't sharing. It'll get figured out eventually but it's going to take a while. When I first got my Titanium some things didn't work quite right. Now everything works.

It has a Radeon, and the video & sound are fine. I use the PowerBook to listen to CDs, MP3s; and watch DVDs with Xine and Ogle at 24bit color. KDE3 installed easily and runs great (but I don't use anti-aliased fonts). Mac-on-Linux runs full-screen at a good speed, and Mozilla 1.0 works nicely (with a minor library tweak). With the PowerBook utilities from Ben's Reser's download site, the function keys control the sound and video brighness (thanks Ben). Even the USB scanner and webcam works on this laptop. But the sleep & wake feature doesn't seem to work -- after it wakes up, the video is badly garbled. And Konqueror doesn't work with FTP sites (message is "Could not connect to host"). That's all the negatives I can think of right now. There's no need to give up, but I'm not sure why you're having so many problems. Did you upgrade a previous installation, or perform a clean install? Bye, Phil
PB G4 w/Radeon, Any success stories?
I'd really love to know if ANYONE has had a complete success story with ANY Linux on a Radeon equipped PB G4 (550/667 MHz). I've been struggling for 3 months or so with various distros including Mandrake 8.2, which installs like a dream, but then things get funky. I'm willing to plug away for another 3 months if someone out there can give me a message of hope. So has anybody gotten one these TiBooks (W/Radeon) to run silky smooth with audio, hardware accelerated graphics, sleep and wake functionality (that last one's important to me) ??? How about KDE 3 with anti-aliasing? XINE DVD Player? If I keep working at this, can Linux truly replace OS X for me without crashing every time I close the lid?

pmud -- screaming powerbook! oh, my!
hello, I updated my pmud from 0.7 to the latest 8.2 version. now when i close the lid on the Ti book (an older model), it makes a horrible screeching sound (like the system beep, but it never ends) until i re-open, and then close it again (or wake it). any ideas why or how to fix? it's pretty terrible, it makes everybody look over like some kind of thief alarm is going off. note, if i sleep it manually (such as with the sleep button on BatMon) it just beeps once nicely and goes to sleep like it should. pmud 0.7 doesn't beep. so it's probably something to do with the beeping. i'll probably just downgrade back to 0.7 for now. --i

pbbuttonsd-0.4.10 and powerprefs-0.2.1 released and packaged
Well I did those packages yesterday and well they came out with new versions today that while they don't include my changes do include others and well make new bugs. I've patched their new bugs, fixed another one, added in my patch from yesterday and packaged the whole thing up. Here's what's new in pbbuttonsd-0.4.10: nodim option. Alows you to dim the laptop screen on idle without putting the laptop to sleep. powerprefs-0.2.1: adds support for the nodim option. Here's my changelogs: pbbuttonsd: * Sat Jun 08 2002 Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.4.10-2brs - Patched 0.4.10 to fix bugs, namely pressing save config in powerprefs caused the machine to go to sleep due to a missing break; and it wouldn't save the new nodim option because nobody added it to the save setup. * Sat Jun 08 2002 Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.4.10-1brs - 0.4.10 - Ported nopowermanagement patch to 0.4.10 powerprefs: * Sat Jun 08 2002 Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.2.1-2brs - fixed 0.2.1 bugs, namely the new dim option was always showing as fixed because they were toggling the wrong button. *sigh* * Sat Jun 08 2002 Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.2.1-1brs - updated to 0.2.1 to make it work with pbbuttonsd-0.4.10 gtkpbbutons: * Sat Jun 08 2002 Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.4.6b-3brs - Rebuild against pbbuttonsd-0.4.10 All the new packages are up in their usual places and available via urpmi if you've added the source. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes

wakeup from sleep fails on pismo
Greetings, I am trying to get my Pismo to wakup from sleep. Currently, when opening the lid after sleep, the screen comes back up, with whatever was previously displayed, but then the system locks up. I must do a hard reset to get control back. I'm using kernel-2.4.18.6.1mdk-1-1mdk and pmud-0.10.1-3mdk, installed on an 8.2 MDK system. Any suggestions? Thanks, Peter
Hard Disk icons
How do i get Hard disk partition icons on the desktop like Mac OS X? So that for example if i opened a new window in nautilus, the tree would show all the partitions, for one to select from. Also these icons would reflect in the "open/save" dialog box's. Column View for Nautilus would be great also but this time have a tray like old NeXTSTEP (Apple in their wisdom pulled the tray from Mac OS X).

Really handy since it seems to be buggy. - Fixed init script. restart was missing and reload didn't work right. gtkpbbuttons: * Sat Jun 08 2002 Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.4.6b-2brs - Rebuild against pbbuttonsd-0.4.9-2brs powerprefs * Sat Jun 08 2002 Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.2-2brs - Rebuild against pbbuttonsd-0.4.9-2brs The new RPMS can be found at: http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/ppc/8.2/RPMS ftp://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/ppc/8.2/RPMS rsync://mirror.brain.org::breser/ppc/8.2/RPMS They're also available via urpmi/rpmdrake if you've added the source as described in a previous email. This update was primarly done because well pbbuttonsd power management is horribly buggy. I'm quite happy with the way pmud manages my laptop power. So I added an option to disable pbbuttonsd power management features. The option is "nopowermanagement = yes" and defaults to no. It's documented in the man page for pbbuttonsd.conf. When upgrading you will need to log out of X and back in or start gtkpbbuttons again by hand. You can just do this as yourself by running: gtkpbbuttons -d It will be automatically started the next time you log in.

My RPM site moved/reorganized.
All my RPMS used to live here: http://ben.reser.org/mandrake/ They have now moved here: http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/ They used to be organized into folders by architecture and then a folder for each RPM and it's related files. Now they are organized by architecure and mandrake release. Additionally there is now a hdlist.cz file for easy rpmdrake installation. Further my RPMS will now be versioned without using the mdk in the release but rather with brs. I'm making this change so that it's easier to distinguish ones I built and ones that are included with Mandrake. Because brs is smaller alphabetically it should also mean that Mandrake RPMS of the same version will be considered newer than mine. I think this is a positive. But if it's a problem I can always go back to building the way I was before. Here is the urpmi.addmedia command for the 8.2/ppc RPMS: urpmi.addmedia breser http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/ppc/8.2/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz For 8.0/ppc RPMS: urpmi.addmedia breser http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/ppc/8.0/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz Of course they are available via ftp, http and rsync as usual: http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/ ftp://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser rsync://mirror.brain.org::breser -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
