If it really is a problem on the buildd, who *can* fix it? Is there a list somewhere of who is responsible for which buildd? I've already provided that info a few times. For the centralized D-I buildds (which includes powerpc) Luk Claes and Otavio Salvador are the persons who set up the buildds and who are AFAIK the only people who currently have the access required to maintain the buildds. I have seen no mails from them on the d-boot list requesting help with that, so I can only assume they're still willing to maintain them (although the evidence seems to indicate otherwise). If it doesn't get fixed, there's not much point in claiming that Debian supports PowerPC architecture... Bullshit. I agree that it's a huge nuisance for testing and that the daily builds really should be available, but the alpha1 release works just fine (except for the known issues) and a next release will also not have this issue. For testing the current development status of the installer you could always build your own images. It's not that hard. Your point about not supporting powerpc is a gross exaggeration and to be honest I'm getting pretty tired of your repeating that any time *volunteers* don't jump quickly enough to your liking. So far I've also not seen that much actual help with arch-specific D-I development from the Debian powerpc community, despite repeated calls for help from our side.

However, there are images for powerpc alpha which do work. The images that do not work are from before alpha1 was released. I had a similar problem with the pre alpha builds but my problem was the the network card couldn't be configured. I was not sure whether it couldn't find the drivers for the network card or not only knew that it would not configure the network card and that is where installation would come to a halt. This was fixed with the alpha1 builds. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with sid daily builds because the installation is unable to mount the cdrom driver once the installation starts. However maybe that has changed and will test a sid build and see if it can find the network drivers to install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm a debian linux user and have installed and used debian in my PS3. I saw the Geoff updated version of ps3-debian-install-howto and stay very happy to see that debian installation become PS3 friendly. I try to follow that tutorial to see the debian installer progress, but have few problems. First. Trying to use the daily d-i build the installer doesn't recognize the PS3 network card and BD drive. I was using the PS3 connected with cable, not wireless. So, the installer just don't can go further. Second. I just give a try to debian 5.0.4 release. Using the install64 option and the installer is started, but here also the PS3 BD drive and netwrk card is note recognized. Again I can't go further to install debian on PS3. I have write two ps3 debian install tutorial. One using USB Pendrive and CD to install[1] and another using only a USB Pendrive[2]. In both I have used the vmlinux kernel from old PS3 LDSK iso image. The installation is like an usual PC installation, but few options like language selection and keyboard model are not complete, not shown, for example, the ABNT2 keyboard model. So I wish to update/improve my tutorial to debian leeny and future releases. Can you give some feedback and help to make the debian PS3 installation more user friendly?

Rick on what machine did you test on. I tested on my playstation 3
about 3 or 4 days ago and the installation failed at configuring

Can you supply the relevant part of the syslog from a failed attempt

firmware that isn't being supplied. The installer has provision for
such cases (you can put the firmware on a USB stick and load it from

Is PowerPC simply so unimportant that resources cannot be spared to even *look* at a problem that renders the installer unusable on that hardware? From my experience a) there is little point to the business card image. The netinstall is the good option. b) daily builds are not necessarily supposed to work they are just for developers to share and try out ideas with. c) try the weekly builds, d) try testing, do a basic install and add unstable items with testing preferred. Unstable is not guaranteed to do anything except that (do I have this exactly right) certain very severe bugs cause it to reject moving to testing, after a short period of time the item either moves to testing or to experimental or nothing (in that particular version).

Debian Squeeze Daily builds no longer installable on the ps3
Hello, I'm writing to inform that Debian suqueeze daily builds are no longer installable on the playstation 3. I have tried with both usb media and cd-rw media by burning the mini iso onto the media and both result in a repeating error message that says segmentation fault and something about process and a number and something about kbd or something similar I'm sorry I am unable to give exact details becaue I am visually impaired and cannot really see the smal print. This occurs after selecting the install option from petiboot. Tried the build from 12-28-09.

Help needed in fixing some post installation issues
Hi, I have just installed Debain on my playstation 3 using a Debain multi-arch DVD built on April 16th. The installation went well with some errors/warnings related to the kernel but I have hopefully installed a kernel correctly. How can I verify that I have installed the kernel correctly and make sure that it is working correctly? Now for some issues taht I am having with debain on my playstation 3. First, I currently have no sound. When I click on the volume icon, I get the following message. The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting Remove From Panel from the menu. How can I get my sound working. Another I ssue that I am having is that ther are two entires in teh network manager both for a wired connection. There is only one ethernet port on the playstation 3. Why are there two entries comming up for wireless connection? Thanks.

For those of you have have tried and succesfully installed debian using this method, does the wireless connectin work? Thanks.

Will Debian 5.0 have support for PS3?
Hi, are you in charge of making linux happen on the PS3? If so, do you know if support for the PS3 will be included with Debian 5? Also do you know when will it be possible to use accelerated graphics on the PS3 with linux like you can on a regular pc with linux? Thanks. Norberto _ Climb to the top of the charts!

RE: Will Debian 5.0 have support for PS3?
Hi thanks for the info. I like to look a different linux distros for the PS3 to see which one works best for me. One thing that is important to me in a linux distro for PS3 is flash but there is no real support for flash on the PPC. Since you are the one who is making linux happen on the ps3, are you in the position of making flash available for linux on the PS3? If not, who is the person in charge of getting things like flash working on linux for PS3? Are you a debian specific person or you answer questions about any linux distro for the PS3. I like to try out new builds of linux distros on my ps3 when I have spare time so I can tell someone if I find any bugs but that is all I know.

Re: How to install testing version of Debain on PS3
Hi, Thanks for the reply. You mean I have to build my own kernel from scratch in order to get debain working on the ps3? If so, this is way over my head. I have the latest otheros.bld file installed on my ps3 A while back, tried an unofficial debain version for ps3 which produced a 60hz screen refreshed rate better than any other distro came with. If this is too difficult now. I hope to try debain as soon as it becomes easier to install. Thanks. Norberto _ Climb to the top of the charts!

How to install testing version of Debain on PS3
Hi, I do I install the testing version of debain on the ps3? I understand that the testing version of debain has no otheros.bld file and is missing some ps3 specific utilites but I read on here that it is installable on the plyastation 3. Can I just for example burn the latest testing net install iso for power pc and put it in my ps3 and it will install as long as I already have an otheros.bld file installed on my ps3 or is ther more to just burning the cd in order to install bedbian currently? Thanks. [http://www.windowslive-hotmail.com/betathanks/download/images/download_2.jpg] Norberto _ Climb to the top of the charts!
