Gnash on ppc
Hi, I compiled from cvs gnash, according to the manual it should work smoothly, though it doesn't specify if that includes pcc arch. I followed the man and added the gnash support in the mozplugger. ¤ gnash --version Gnash 0.7.1 ¤ firefox about:plugins MozPlugger 1.7.3 handles QuickTime Windows Media Player Plugin [...] application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Gnash swf Yes The standalone player seems to work, veeery slowly, but the embed does not. All it does is bring the cpu to 100% and stay there until I close the tab. No youtube and google video until now... Folks with an x86 claim that it works fine. Anyone tried? -- Federico Pistono Department of Computer Science - Verona, Italy http://www.federicopistono.org :: http://pain.altervista.org/flatnukeuwcad/ http://pain.altervista.org :: Linux Registered User #340392 Just rememberyou were a n00b yourself once... Speak for yourself. After my mother re-partitioned her drive and mounted the smaller one at /womb I was compiled from source.

Proprietary video formats on PPC.
Hi all, I'm sure everyone during his experience with Linux on a PPC had to deal with the problem of proprietary video formats. At first I tried all the possible hacks I found googling, like the experimental use of ffmpeg on wmv3 http://multimedia.cx/eggs/?p=129 http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/download.php and other projects, but none of them seemed to work. I always wondered why could we use the OS X libraries, but I guess there's a problem of compatibility that I do not understand. After the breaking news that Apple was switching to x86 I felt like I had to accept the fact that I could never watch a wmv, asf, rm, flash, on my notebook under Linux. Don't get me wrong, I HATE these formats, they are lossy, they're closed source and most of the footage you find is low level quality. But there is tons of interesting stuff that for some stupid reason (somebody said Windows?) is reachable only with these formats, so you loose a lot of info, unless of course you: 1. Reboot, this doesn't sound like a decent solution to me 2. Run the Mac On Linux, a bit better, but I've got some problems with the audio, though 3. Use a x86 machine that is handy at the time. Hey, if I wanted an x86 I could have just bought an IBM notebook... Then something happened. You all know about the XboX 360, right? The console hardware is based on a custom IBM PowerPC-based Xenon central processing unit (CPU), and it has functions of a media center (we all know that's not true, but let it be. Vorbis, uh?). So, if they made the 360 working (not too well http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/23/138200tid=128tid=211tid=10), they also made proprietary codecs and DLL for PPC right? If this project grow as it predecessor: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page shouldn't we then be able to play the damn videos?

UDF-fs No partition found(1)
HI. I re-installed the Sarge through netinstall, dual boot with OSX. I recompiled the kernel 2.6.14.2 (the lastest), and it did not work, no matter wat I tried. So I found this page: http://www.ncc.up.pt/~rvr/kh/kh.html along woth several others, I followd the guides on the debian page: http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/ It wass incredible how the kernel would not work. At first I thought I gave it the wrong options, so I jest took the working kernel of the first link, using the 2.6.14.2. That did not work either. I though it was due to the newer kernel that the one the config was made for. So I followed step by step the instuction and used the 2.6.12 of the guide. NO WAY. Then I found a discussion where it said to chose all the modules by hand, that loading an external .config may cause some problems (never heard before, but you never know...). And I did. NO CHANCE. I made the recompile correctly. make menuconfig make bzImage make make modules make modules_install cp bzImage /boot/vmlinux.new ybin -v this is my /etc/yaboot.conf boot=/dev/hda2 device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: partition=4 root=/dev/hda4 timeout=30 install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot enablecdboot macosx=/dev/hda5 defaultos=linux default=Linux image=/boot/vmlinux.new label=new read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img image=/boot/vmlinux label=Linux read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img image=/boot/vmlinux.old label=old read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img The complete error says: UDF-fs No partition found(1) hotsync VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(3,4) http://www.google.it/search?q=hotsync+VFS%3A+unable+to+mount+root+fs+on+unknown+blockstart=0start=0ie=utf-8oe=utf-8client=firefoxrls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial In order to try to solve my problem I googled a lot through ML an BB, Howtos, but I did not find satisfactory answers. So I though I could ask you right away: does any of you have a working .config (customised) for a powerbook 12 1.33Ghz? Thanks.

OSX Vs. Debian.
Mhh.. I have a pbg4 with OSX Tiger and Debian PPC 2.6.11. It worked all fine for about six months, until I decided to make some space in the OSX partition. I saw like 2 GB ofr the printer dirvers, not really useful since I do not have one, so I wiped it off (bad bad idea...). Now OSX won't load, it does not give any error message, simply it doesn't load. If I put the installation/recovery disc it tells me to reboot and that it requires a HFS partition, I experienced that problem when I first installed Debian. Debian works fine, though. My question is? Is it possible to restore the OSX WITHOUT having to format and reinstall everything (that would be really a shame)? Please help.
