 Hi Eddy, how are you doing?

Hello César :-) Is ok, on holiday, at home

 I have the same problem with my iBook [EMAIL PROTECTED] with etch and Ubuntu 
 Edgy.

Kernel version?

 I don't have this problem in my Powerbook...

that was a PowerBook5,8 iirc, right?

 Did you fix the problem?

Nope. Do you have any idea?

I think I have seen also a decrease in battery time in sleep mode with the new 
kernel (2.6.18-3),
but I am not sure is the kernel since I have seen this only with the original 
battery.

 the sound, but the screen was garbled. I assume it's a problem of AIGLX
 though.
 
 Anyway, the software starts properly. On which machine did you try it?

 I can't reproduce the problem on a PowerBook5,8. Memory/swap thrashing
 does indeed seem to be the most plausible explanation, but I guess it
 could also be partly a graphics driver (configuration) issue. You should
 probably provide a little more detail about your system setup.

The graphics driver is the radeon, so I guess there is a chance this adds
up.

As I said in another mail, the machine is a PowerBook5,2 with 256MB of RAM.

Scary IDE message and a hang in fresh Etch installation

2006-12-13 Thread Eddy Petrișor
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello poeple,

I installed recently, for testing purposes an Etch system on my
laptop (PowerBook5,2). Yesterday I wanted to test one of my packages
in the new system and during the download phase of the upgrade
(I wanted to test the package on the current Etch) I got a scary
message which made me worry about the sanity of my machine:

- --8---
ide - pmac lost interrupt, dma status 8480
hda: lost interrupt
- --8---

This happened after just installing pbbuttonsd (the default
default installation didn't pulled it in since I installed from the
first CD and no networking) and I was in aptitude on the first vt.


Is there any reason for me to worry? Should I expect any issues with
the hard disk? What can I do?

 Hi Eddy,

Hi Johannes,

Ah, ok.

 I tried to configure the touchpad of my powerbook, but I didn't managed
 to. Is it possible to do that on a PowerBook (5,2)? If it can be done, how?
 
 Doesn't the 5,2 still have an atp (or adb??) touchpad? For all I know,
 the right-side scrolling works only for appletouch usb touchpads. The
 config for X for that is in the kernel's Documentation directory
 somewhere in input/appletouch.txt or so.

AFAIK, 5,2 has indeed the ADB touch pad. Is there something in the
hardware that prevents implementing at least the right-side-scroll (and
maybe bottom-scroll?) feature on the ADB touch pads?

 Hi

 Here: Powerbook5,8 - on unstable

Something weirder on PowerBook5,2 - unstable...

 The error disappears if I connect the battery to the machine, while
 still running it on AC.

 I'm not sure whether the following error might have to do with the
 problem (It seems this happens no matter the battery is inserted to
 the machine or not):
 [...]
 It might be a hardware failure. But after the last upgrades the first
 suspect for me would be some software ...

 Resetting PMU is only the very last option: This will most certainly
 destroy the correct date, thus invalidating the calibrated time
 system.
 
 Seeing the same thing here, a quick look after booting with the battery
 removed shows:
 $ cat /proc/pmu/info
 PMU driver version : 2
 PMU firmware version   : 11
 AC Power   : 0
 Battery count  : 1

AC on, battery on:

$ cat /proc/pmu/info
PMU driver version : 2
PMU firmware version   : 0c
AC Power   : 1
Battery count  : 1

AC on, Battery removed (surprise):

$ cat /proc/pmu/info
PMU driver version : 2
PMU firmware version   : 0c
AC Power   : 1
Battery count  : 1

Yes, is the same thing :-/

 As you can see, it says that the laptop is not connected to AC. So there
 is obviously something wrong here.

What about what's wrong *here* ? :-)

 After I insert the battery everything works as expected. I am running a
 2.6.18-rc2-git1 kernel here.

Hello,

Some time ago I have followed some threads on different lists/forums
about setting up the synaptics driver so you could scroll if the right
side of the touchpad was used or if the touchpad was touched with two

I tried to configure the touchpad of my powerbook, but I didn't managed

 I have configured pbuttonsd to just turn off the display when on AC
 and the lid is closed. I found that, sometimes, when opening the lid
 again, the backlight will not be turned back on (I can see the locking
 screen of KDE); if I try o swith to a text console, the backlight is
 turned back on for a split second, I can see the display properly,
 then is back to off. Switching back and forth between the X console
 and a text console does not fix the issue, but the
 light-on-for-a-split-second thing is present.
 
 [MODULE DISPLAY]
 UseFBBlank= yes
 
 Try to set this to no. Similar problems reported to me could be
 solved with this. I think recent kernel versions don't need this option
 any longer because the backlight is mostly controlled by the framebuffer
 driver and switching the backlight off will automatically lead to a
 switched off framebuffer display. 
 
 Please tell me your result.

I didn't had issues since this change. Thanks all.

Re: [OT] Airport Extreeme - should I buy one?

 Eddy,
 
  I could buy an
 Airport Extreeme card.
 
 I won't say much about it, but if you really want to get one it might be
 cheaper to get a generic non-Apple Broadcom 4306 (newer airport express
 is 4318 which isn't as well supported yet but will come around).

OK, this is actually harder than it sounds... because of the bad habit
of hardware producers to do branding and obfuscate the type of chip used
for the hardware sigh/ .
