[Fwd: Woody on RS/6000 F50 - Success!]
Here is a procedure posted here [EMAIL PROTECTED] from my mail archive... -- David Stanaway ---BeginMessage--- Hi all, I've finally managed to net-install Debian woody on the IBM RS/6000 7025 F50. Here are some details for what they're worth. I've had to compile a kernel from sources obtained via rsync from the linuxppc_2_4_devel tree: rsync -avz source.mvista.com::linuxppc_2_4_devel This tree is based on kernel 2.4.20-pre5. I previously tried 2.4.15, 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 from kernel.org, with and without the powerpc patches from the same source (2.4.19 unpatched only), but I couldn't compile an image that would boot on this machine from any of them. I am net-booting via DHCP/BOOTP; I have not yet had much of a stab at making the machine bootable from the disk. The system console is on the serial port, because configuring all the graphical-console stuff out of the kernel was the only way the previous kernel sources I used would even attempt to boot. I don't know yet if the sources I'm using now will fix that problem, too, if I configure the graphical-console stuff back in. I used minicom on another woody machine to connect to the serial console on the RS/6000 via null-modem cable. The serial port used with minicom was set to 9600 8N1 and the modem initialisation string used was ~^M~ . The kernel was given the boot parameter console=ttyS0,9600 . The original kernel was cross-compiled on an Intel Debian woody machine. Building the cross-compiler was simple (in retrospect); here's the drill I followed for any interested party: - Compile binutils for a ppc-linux target: cd /usr/local/src apt-get source binutils Find the original binutils source tarball in the directory where apt extracts the sources and untar it in /usr/local/src. Then make a separate build directory for binutils in /usr/local/src. cd /usr/local mkdir binutils-build cd binutils-build ./binutils source dir/configure --target=ppc-linux make make install - Compile a gcc cross-compiler for a linux-ppc target, for the C language only, without libc support: cd /usr/local/src apt-get source gcc-2.95 Find the original gcc tarball in the directory where apt extracts the sources, untar it in /usr/local/src, and edit the file gcc/config/t-linux in the gcc source tree to change the line TARGET_LIBGCC2_CFLAGS = -fPIC to TARGET_LIBGCC2_CFLAGS = -fPIC -Dinhibit_libc so that an already cross-compiled libc is not required to build gcc. The gcc build process will complain at the end that the compiled libc cannot create executables, but we don't care because we're going to use it to build a kernel, not executables. Then make a separate build directory for gcc in /usr/local/src: cd /usr/local/src mkdir gcc-build cd gcc-build ../gcc-source-dir/configure --target=ppc-linux --enable-languages=c (so we only build a C compiler, which is all we need for a kernel, and not a complete suite) make make install You can now get your kernel sources, edit the top-level Makefile and change the lines setting the two following variables so that they read: ARCH := ppc CROSS_COMPILE := ppc-linux- (note the dash at the end of ppc-linux-) Then configure and compile a kernel as usual: make (menu)config, dep, zImage etc. To start the Debian installer, I used the root.bin floppy image from the powerc-chrp Debian woody floppy set as suggested by Rolf Brudeseth (copied to arch/ppc/boot/images/ramdisk.image.gz in the kernel source tree and made into a combined image with the kernel using make zImage.initrd). After compiling a kernel and getting it to net-boot, the Debian net-installation is routine. As I was net-booting, I skipped the steps about installing the kernel and about making the system bootable from disk. I also compiled everything I needed for the net install into the kernel, so I skipped the step about installing the modules, too. A modular kernel with more features was successfully compiled and installed on the machine itself after installation, using the make-kpkg utility from the kernel-package Debian package and the same sources. I will keep the list posted of further developments.

Also, using a drag to select only selects to word boundaries. In evolution compose message dialog, Often, after click or using the down arrow followed by pressing the shift key results in the input focus changing from the message text to either the scroll bar or the subject textbox.

Hi All,
I recently transferred some MP3s from my MacOS desktop to my Debianppc
laptop. There are no file extensions for these mp3 files, so they're
kind worthless for xmms in Linux.
On the Linux side, how would I go about adding extensions to these files
without doing it manually? In other words, is there something I could
pass at the command line to accomplish this for a whole directory of
files? I've been using Linux for three years or so now, and I've always
wanted to know how to do this...anyone care to educate me? I'm hoping
for something a little more substantive than go learn sed (or whatever
program), though learning by example usually works the best for me. ; )
Well sed would be useful to learn, but not as useful as bourne or bash
shell (Bourne is more portable).
If you have all the MP3s in one directory and no other files. Then it is
really easy:
for f in *; do mv ${f} ${f}.mp3; done
If you have a directory tree populated with mp3's (And only mp3's) You
can try:
find ~/mp3dir -type f -exec mv '{}' '{}.mp3' \;
Be careful with this one though, as you don't want to accidentally run
it from the wrong directory.
A safer approach might be to make a small shell script:
-- ~/bin/renamemp3
#!/bin/sh
case $# in
1)
file=$1
;;
*)
echo usage: $0 'filename' 12
exit 1
esac
if ! file ${file} | grep -q 'MPEG 1.0 layer 3'; then
echo ${file} is not an mp3 file 12
exit 1
fi
case ${file} in
*.mp3)
echo ${file} already has .mp3 suffix 12
exit
;;
*)
mv ${file} ${file}.mp3
esac
-- ~/bin/renamemp3
Then run:
find ~/mp3dir -type f -exec ~/bin/renamemp3 '{}' \;
I have not tested this script so use with caution.. (IE Read through it
and check that it makes sense, test it on a small dir tree with some
copies of files in it.

When I open the lid, so the machine comes out of suspend, most times everything's fine. Every once in a while, I'll get a load of static come out of the left speaker. Other times, it seems that the microphone comes on (afaict it doesn't work at other times :/) at full gain and gets into a feedback loop. In eith case the only option is a reboot. If you have the driver configured as a module, removing and reloading dmasound_pmac might make the noise go away. For me, sometimes suspending and resuming again will also make it go away. Is this a problem with the audio drivers or is it more likely to be a hardware issue? The machine's a new (bought just before Christmas) 12.1 iBook with one of those horrible softmodems. It's been happening quite frequently as of late on my 1st generation iBook2 - it tends to occur at least once a week (most recent was Tuesday, in a library - gack!), although for me it's a rapid clicking noise instead of static or a feedback whistle. (I suppose it could be feedback with a 1/4 second time delay.) I've taken to carrying a stereo plug to insert into the headphone jack when the clicks start, since the driver turns off the speakers when something is connected to the jack. This comes up on the list once every few months. Last I heard the driver maintainer was unable to reproduce it on his TiBook. It happens on my TiBook which is a first generation one. It only happens when I close the lid and keeps feeding back until I mute and unmute the audio. I suspect it is something to do with the mixer settings getting junked when the system goes into sleep. It could be a problem with esd also, as I am running that. Cheers... -- David Stanaway signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I would like to emulate the [xset s ...] functionality, or the equivalent options in XF86Config-4: Section ServerFlags Option BlankTime 2 Option OffTime 5 EndSection so that my screenblanking will work based on an idle timeout in X (Either at the gdm login screen, or in a user session). Any tips would be welcome :) -- David Stanaway signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Audio encoders optimized for altivec (I have a G4)
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend an encoder for me? I use grip as a front end, and tried oggenc from vorbis-tools but I can only encode at half realtime! I have only used mp3 encoders before on intel systems, so maybe this is just a sign that ogg is a more complex transformation than mp3 but I was hoping for at least real time perfomance. It doesn't really matter to me if I creat oggs or mp3s. Any recommendations? -- Cheers David Stanaway signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I have tried the release from 23 januari 2000 on a Motorola system with ppcbug firmware and on a Motorola system with an open firmware. The ppcbug machine hangs after a succesfull install and rebooting. (last messages on the screen are the initialisation of the tty ports) The openfimware machine hangs after a succesfull install and rebooting with the following message kernel panic: VFS:unable to mount rootfs on 08:01 rebooting in 180 seconds. It seems that the bootstring is not accepted (boot hdisk0 bootargs=root=/dev/sda5) When I try to install the potato release on the machine with open firmware the ncr controller hangs while waiting for a serial_number_timeout.
