Apart from the fstab option, have a look at this:

I currently use the hotplug option with a group called camera on an
Intel-based computer, but should make no difference.

Or maybe you simply have a new sound chip which isn't "snapper" ?

DO NOT DO THAT !

I should add a FAT BOLD warning, it's dangerous to play blind games
with the clock chip. perdiod. I'll have to find out the proper values
for this model, you can help by sending me a tarball of

Sound not working with kernel 2.6.5

[Vincent Lefevre]

I upgraded my PowerBook G4 (first generation) from 2.4 kernels to
2.6.5, using the kernel-image-2.6.5-powerpc package. And sound isn't
working.

ogg123 says:

Error: Cannot open device oss.

With the "-d esd" option, I get:

Error: Cannot open device esd.

/dev/dsp: No such device

and ogg123 segfaults. I already had problems with 2.4 kernels
(bug 225393), but now this doesn't work at all.

Concerning the mixer, tkmixer says:

error opening mixer device
tkmixer: No such device

and gnome-volume-control:

Warning: This version of the Gnome Volume Control was compiled with
OSS version 3.8.2, and your system is running
version 32767.242.0.

and I get an error box saying:

Please check that you have permissions to open '/dev/mixer'
and that you have sound support in your kernel.

kopete 0.8.2 cannot find plugins on powerpc

[Pander]

Hi all,

Previously I had kopete 0.7.2 installed which I build complete from
source. Quit a job but worhtwhile the effort. I had to do this because 
not all required packages were not available or not stallable for my 
PowerBook G4 at that time.


Now I've noticed that my system was finally able to install kopete from
powerpc/testing. But after is was installed it has a problem finding the 
plugins like msn


After installation it gives:
$ kopete --version
Qt: 3.2.3
KDE: 3.2.2
Kopete: 0.8.2
 So that's all oke, but now it cannot find the plugins for msn, etc. I
tried setting in /etc/kderc this

[Directories]
prefixes=/usr/lib/kde3:/usr:/usr/lib

and running kbuildsycoca but still no luck, while the files are here:

/usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kopete_msn.la
/usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kopete_msn.so
/usr/lib/kde3/kopete_msn.la
/usr/lib/kde3/kopete_msn.so
/usr/lib/libkopete_msn_shared.so.0
/usr/lib/libkopete_msn_shared.so.0.0.0

Anyone have some pointers for me? Should this run out of the box, or are
there perhaps settings from my previous installation from source that
force it so search somewhere else?

Thanks,

Pander

iptables/mol bug

[mammique]

Hi,

i installed mol on an newer ibook, benh-2.6.5-rc3. I use sheep
networking, mol>osx can ping every machine on the lan and also the linux
it's running uppon, it also can connect to every machine on the lan but
not the local linux it's running uppon (it hangs on ssh or ftp waiting
for connection, if i telnet 21/22 it connects but hangs, when the server
should present itself). It is strange because i have no rule in
iptables, so i list my iptables to verify :

# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination
 
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination
 
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination

Nothing, special. So i retry to connect and it works ! I didn't change
anything in my rules but "iptables -L" seems to woke the firewall up.
Then everything works well, but if i reboot the problem re-appear until
i type "iptables -L".

Any idea ?

Regards.

Mammique.

switching back to ALSA...

i looked into sound/ppc/pmac.c and commented out the lines 926+932,
which leads to the situation that snd-powermac starts in "snapper"-mode.
now it seems to work!

the question is, why "device_is_compatible" does not return successfully
for "snapper". so far, i found out, that this function is located in
arch/ppc/syslib/prom.c. what is responsible for filling the property
"compatible"? looking back at my cpufreq problem, do you think
that the parsing of the openfirmware device tree somewhat fails or
misbehaves? i feel like one important item has changed unexpectedly in the OF
and subsequent property calls result in failures. i attached the file
tree of /proc/device-tree if that could be useful.

cheers,
 sebastian

hm, not so here. compiling statically does not help. i do not even see a
note about it in dmesg. what should be seen there?
also "cat /dev/[audio|dsp|mixer]" yields: no such device; aumix does not
work, too.
are there any OSS options needed? might the alsa modules interfere?

PowerBook 5,4 (the latest alu): cpufreq/sound/eth1394

[Sebastian Henschel]

howdy folks...

i have a 15" 1.5 GHz alu powerbook here which identifies itself as
PowerBook5,4. i discovered several problems which anyone of you might be
helpful about. :)

- running kernel 2.6.6 with no other patches; 2.6.6-bk4 does not seem to
  cover any problems i experience here
- debian testing synced today
- hopefully did not overlook any previous posts
- have an "old" alu powerbook next to me (5,2)


CPUFREQ:

/proc/cpuinfo:

processor   : 0
cpu : 7447A, altivec supported
clock   : 1499MHz
revision: 1.1 (pvr 8003 0101)
bogomips: 747.52
machine : PowerBook5,4
motherboard : PowerBook5,4 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh
detected as : 287 (Unknown Intrepid-based)
pmac flags  : 0008
L2 cache: 512K unified
memory  : 512MB
pmac-generation : NewWorld

as you can see at the bogomips, the value looks like running at lower
frequency (number of clock and bogomips roughly equal on 5,2). dmesg also
does not show an output like "Registering PowerMac CPU frequency...".
first, i thought: no problem, just pretend 5,4 to be like 5,2, but that
did not work out. i modified pmac_feature.c at two places so far:
- line 2120ff to add an entry for 5,4
- line 2624 to trigger the "bump clock speed hack"

but after enabling DEBUG_FEATURE as well, i saw problems in
pmac_low_i2c.c:kw_handle_interrupt when rebooting:

PowerMac motherboard: PowerBook G4 15"
Trying to bump clock speed for PID: c02112aad...
KW: KW: NAK on address
KW: wrong state. Got KW_I2C_IRQ_ADDR, state: state_stop (isr: 6)
read result: 4,<6>Found UniNorth

and the code breaks out of the loop at pmac_feature.c:2665, because rc != 0.

apart from the bumping, the cpufreq driver does not start as well. i
wonder if this has something to do with the i2c error above. which
branch would be the right one in pmac_cpufreq.c:pmac_cpufreq_setup
anyway? i assume 5,4 is compatible to MacRISC3, but did not debug any
further, because i do not understand how to "make init/main.c non-init
before enabling DEBUG_FREQ".



SOUND:

when trying the old dmasound module i get this when loading:

FATAL: Error inserting dmasound_pmac 
(/lib/modules/2.6.6/kernel/sound/dmasound_pmac.ko): No such device
dmasound_pmac: couldn't find a Codec we can handle

ALSA can be loaded, but is mute.
- trying to play an .au file gives "aplay: set_params:880: Unable to
  install hw params: ..."
- .wav and .mp3 play fine, but i cannot hear a thing.
- the alsamixer shows card/chip to be "PowerMac AWACS", although it is
  "PowerMac Snapper" on my 5,2. there are also fewer items to control:
  only master, headphone detection, mic boost, pc speak, auto-mute;
  plus passive items: cd, line, mic. On my 5,2 i can control:
  master, headphone, headphone detection, bass, treble, pcm, pcm1, pc
  speak, auto-mute, drc, drc rang, monitor mix.


ETH1394

not really a concern, but irritating. i have to blacklist that module,
because it is printing this error message on the console all the time:

ip1394: eth1: Could not allocate isochronous receive context for the
broadcast channel

on my 5,2 i only get this message once.



well, hopefully someone can shed some light on these.

thanks in advance,
sebastian

Hi Jas

I just had a quick look and it looks so easy; setting up to fax on my
G4, configuring modem etc. has just dropped to the bottom of my project
list ;) (and may well drop off all together)

pbbuttonsd: sleep with Shift+Powerkey

Hi,

how can I tell pbbuttonsd the sleep key is shift (or anyone else) with key
116. I mapped key 116 in icewm to logout. So when I press the power key
icewm shows the logout dialog and the screen is blanked. What can I do?
Has pbbuttonsd this feature?

If you've got a really old kernel, the ADB mouse shows up at /dev/adbmouse
using the "BusMouse" protocol. With a recent kernel, you'll see the
mouse traffic on /dev/input/mice, with an "ImPS/2" protocol.
