cdcd, xmms and grip (falsely) assume you can transmit analog audio from
your CD player. On most Intel PC's this is done via a small audio cable
to your sound card.

Assuming you have an Apple however, this is done digitally via the
flatcable. Alsaplayer apparantly can play digital CD audio.

IN from bad port 3e1 at f34620d4

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer]

Hi All

Titanium IV, 2.4.25-ben1 here.

I see this in /var/log/kern.log:

IN from bad port 3e1 at f34620d4

on  several lines, every time I boot the machine, IINM. What does it
mean?

Thanks in anticipation

I have used Cyclades PC300 cards (though not on PPC), but not with Frame
Realy. I can only speak positively of those, and I think I read
soemwhere they work on PPC.

I sugest you ask Cyclades about the matter, they should give a fast &
complete answer.

I'm told upstream is aware of this.

I recently have had a look to d-bus and it looks like something I already 
built into pbbuttonsd to communicate with clients. But my IPC interface is 
not as complicated and complex. I made only a glimpse and I have no idea yet 
how powerfull d-bus already is or will be but if this protokoll had a chance 
to become common I would think about changing pbbuttonsd to support d-bus.

But I think the possibility to react on certain events in a shell script will 
be needed for a long time because nothing is easier to handle even from 
persons not very familiar with programming.

Thanks, Guido!

Now it compiles. I have put "resume=/dev/hda3" ( my swap partition ) to 
the yaboot.conf ( and yes, called ybin ). 

But if I type "echo disk >/sys/power/state", nothing happens. Not even a log 
entry. 

Should there be a kernel log on startup saying that suspend is available? 
What else can I try?


Thanks,

Because with a static /dev you can't know beforehand if a /dev/hdX will
be a cdrom device or a normal harddisk. So to be on the safe side, the
default is root.disk.

With something like udev the permissions are ``correct'', because it has
somewhat more information about the device.

OK, so why isn't it done by default?

Sorry for beeing late. acpid is fine with use of /etc/power. I've to create a
small wrapper for that. Just tell me the specs :-)

In fact I'm interested in system <-> user communication via dbus. Acpid
doesn't need it itself because it can provide events on a filesystem socket,
but it would be a big step towards integration of different systems. Its not
only good for powermanagement. Hotpluging needs communication to the users
side, too. [But I'm not aware of good solutions for that in debian. Correct me

Maybe, I had a quick look already. There's also another effort going
on I can't talk about right now. I didn't have time to experiment
much with any of these lately though.
