Mounting CF card

2005-06-18 Thread Nathan Thrower
I just bought the
new Canon Digital Rebel XT 350D, and I want to know how I can mount a
CompactFlash card (Lexar 1GB 80x). I need help mounting the CF card,
and also want to know if there are any reliable apps for converting RAW
image files. I'm running Debian Sarge on an Apple PowerBook G3 500
'Pismo,' with the 2.6.8 kernel.

I tried to find a solution on Google for mounting the flash card.  I tried


code:mount -t vfat /dev/sda2


And even to specifically allocated directories.  I am met with the following response:


code:mount: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist



I tried several variations, including sda1, sda3, sdb1, sdb2, etc., but
none provided results. When looking for /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab,
neither were found. I also tried 


code: mount -t vfat  /media/flash



only to be responded with the directions for mount.

If someone could help me out with mounting and with the program for
converting RAW files, I'd be very appreciative. I wouldn't want to have
to return to proprietary software (OS X) just to care for my first love
of photography in my switch to digital. Thanks a lot!

There is an effort to make it work; http://r300.sf.net
The page does not seem active at first glance, but they are working; I
am subscribed to their commit list that send messages whenevr somebody
checks in code.

I never tried the drivers, but I would be also interested to know what
is the current status.

I think you should wait until r300 is ready, or you can try now :) ;
maybe it will work for you and you will tell me, too :)

Hash: SHA1

I think (but I'm not sure at all...) that it should be treated like an
usb-pen device, i.e. you have to mount it as your first scsi disk
available (if you don't have any scsi disk it will become sda (sda1 for
first partition if you have previously formatted the disk)).

So, if you miss entries in fstab you should issue a command like
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/cf-disk

or substitute sda1 with sda if your are using cf drive raw (quite
unusual, but sometimes it may happen if the first time you mounted it on
win)

Looks like that it is getting ready, eg the page says

# 05/19/05

* Tagged a new snapshot the_perfect_frag of r300_driver. I cannot find 
visible faults with any levels in Quake3 or PPRacer. Also one can now list all 
the issues in the driver that need solving.
* The following cards are known to work (well means good enough to play 
some games, not perfect GL compliance):
  o Radeon 9600 (including Radeon Mobility M10) - works well, no lockups
  o Radeon 9800 - works, but locks up in some applications. Might be 
aggravated by mouse movement and/or use of merged framebuffer.
  o Radeon X800 - works well no lockups. 

I would like to try it, but I don't know where to start.  Do I need to
compile a kernel module, or recompile X, or something else?

Thanks

Apparently, from the home page, you have to do both, recompile kernel

Re: Loading error in GNUstep apps

 Hi. I am running Debian unstable on an iBook and, recently, GNUstep

As a temporary workaround, downgrade libfreetype6 to something before
2.1.10-1, and it should work fine.  (I'm using libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4.)

It looks like freetype renamed that function to FTC_Manager_LookupSize
(removed the last `_').  The FTC_Manager_Lookup_Face function was
renamed similarly.

White Selection Bars in Thunderbird Firefox

2005-06-18 Thread J. De Salvo

Hi,

In both Thunderbird 1.0.2 and Firefox 1.0. on Sarge, when I select a 
menu or sub-menu item, the selection indicator is completely white and 
opaque; no text is visible through the selection.


Admittedly not a major issue but an annoying one nonetheless. Neither 
Mozilla 1.7.4 nor any other app I've used has this problem.


Anyone else experiencing this? Is it a known problem? If not, any 
thoughts or suggestions?


Thanks,

Joe

Porting ppc Linux to Xbox 360?

2005-06-18 Thread Wolfgang Pfeiffer
Hi all

Powerpc on Mac is gone. I'm looking for another ppc computer for the
day when the Titanium IV that I have currently will be gone down the
river.

I learned that Xbox 360, which will be available this holiday season
in Europe, Japan, and North America
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox360/factsheet.htm has an IBM Powerpc
CPU, with 3 cores, running at 3.2 GHz each. With just a fast glance on
the factsheet above it seems to me this machine could be worth running
an OS being worth the name.

Some Hardware excerpts (available from the page mentioned above):

---
 Support for DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-DA, CD-ROM,
CD-R, CD-RW, WMA CD, MP3 CD, JPEG Photo CD

Wi-Fi ready: 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g

Memory: 512 MB of 700 MHz GDDR3 RAM

ATI Graphics Processor 10 MB of embedded DRAM (that's not that much,
is it?)

Detachable and upgradeable 20GB hard drive


It seems there's already some work planned to port Linux to this
little jewel:

http://www.free60.org/wiki/Main_Page

So here's what I'd be interested to know:

Are there chances that those maintaining today's ppc branch of the
Linux kernel, and the rest of the ppc linux system, might want to turn
Xbox 360 to a full fledged PPC Linux computer? Anyone out there with
the necessary knowledge being interested in that?

Don't leave me alone with PeeCees.

Anyone out there?

Thanks in anticipation
Wolfgang

Sound in Gnome

2005-06-18 Thread Mike S
I just switched from kde to gnome, and Sound is not working again.  I 
was wondering, what does it mean when you get an error message saying 
Failed to construct test pipeline for 'ALSA-Advanced Linux Sound System 
Architecture'? Quickly running lsmod shows that all the sound modules I 
had before are loaded, I am really hesitant to just try and pipe 
everything through esd, one main reason being I finally had sound in 
MOL, and when I had gnome before, and everything piped through esd, I 
couldn't get MOL's sound working.  I just went into Desktop  
Preferences  Multimedia Systems Selector, so please let me know if that 
is also not the right way to do this.

Nope.  Why do you think they are in a market they are losing money in?  It's 
because they're prepared to pour money into that market until they're 
eventually awarded the title of *the* entertainment company.  It's exactly 
what they did in the browser market, and to support it by buying their 
console is just like supporting their browser by using it.  Whether you 
choose to use their browser for browsing game sites or browsing linux sites, 
you still help them to say that they have the number one browser.  Which is 
all they care about in the end.

Every extra console they sell helps them to say to kids that *they* have the 
product of choice for games.  That can only be bad, when kids who associate 
Microsoft with fun grow up to be people who make purchasing decisions for 
our society's IT infrastructure.

Well, we can say that a certain course of action is unwise without already 
having the alternatives worked out.  Often, making that first decision is the 
only way we note the importance of our situation, and take the time to *find* 
alternatives.

But I don't see apple leaving PPC as a crisis.  To me, PPC is just a more 
technically likeable architecture that happens to run Debian as well as x86, 
and happens to have nice iBooks.  I see no problem with x86, as long as 
there's competition within that market.  Lately, there's been lots.   It's 
well past the point where x86 was thought to be dying because of 
technological limits.

But even sticking with PPC, there are custom PPC boards, Apple clone 
manufacturers, and Amiga boxes, I think.  With all the X Boxes being 
manufactured, that should help to keep PPC prices down.  There's also POWER, 
as you mentioned.

Then there is Cell coming up, which will be in PCs, run Linux, and probably 
provide a few new options worth considering.  It also shares a Power(PC?) 
main core.

Any supported 802.11a USB/Firewire cards on powerpc?

2005-06-18 Thread Shyamal Prasad

Hi,

It turns out I need to run 802.11a these days (not enough of the 2.4
Ghz spectrum around my house!). So, airport hardware is not an option
(not that it always works with Linux anyway).

For my powerpc (mac) based systems I'm stumped. Is there anyone out
there that has used an 802.11a device with Mac hardware (I only have
USB and firewire on my G4 laptop)?

Heck, at this point even an OS X compatible device would be a start;
at least I might have the option of working on Linux support from
there. But I've not had luck even locating a device that claims
support for Mac OS X (I've found bluetooth USB adapters, but not
802.11a). 

Cheers!
Shyamal
