how to get audio working on ultra 80 w/ debian testing
I can get sound by plugging headphones or speakers into the cdrom drive and some applications send sound out the (admittadly not bad sounding) tower speaker. None of the outputs on the sound card itself seem to work though. How can I get that to work? I'm not sure on sparc, but on x86 I'd be asking these questions: What version of kernel do you have (uname -a)?

You'll probably find that you get better results by separating your questions into separate threads, and titling each thread with a more descriptive subject line. Gotcha. I'll do that form now on. Thanks. 1. How do I add something to the default run level? I need afbinit to run before X starts so I can have a fast(er) X experience. Just put your script in /etc/init.d, and then a symlink in /etc/rc2.d, making sure to title it similarly to the other scripts in /etc/rc2.d, with the "S" meaning this is a Startup-type script, and the numbers determining the order in which the scripts run. Thanks. I read about it in the debian policy manual and got it straightened out. 2. I choose the right time zone during the install but my clock keeps being wrong after boot. I've set it a few times with date but it hasn't stuck so I want to figure out whats going on and fix it for real. You probably need to set the hardware clock (are you dual-booting? this could matter). Try something like hwclock --systohc to copy the system time into the hardware clock. (I'm not sure this will work on sparc architecture though; it does work on x86.) You might also be interested in chrony or ntp-simple & ntpdate to have your system go out to a time server on the internet to get time/date corrections. Once I added rtc to /etc/modules and rebooted I was fine. The clock is holding my local time just fine now. 3. After boot, gnome system monitor reports very little memory used. Over the course fo the day the used memory amount rises until I have almost no free memory. Gnome system monitro shows almost all of the used memory as being cached. Is this normal? I'm no expert, but yes, I believe it's normal for the system to claim all free memory for caching purposes; it'll let go of the memory when the memory is needed. Sweet. I'd noticed that in gentoo on my pc but I remembered the ram being freed up faster then it is on the ultra. 4. How do I change the gnome window manager to sawfish from metacity? I just can't figure out that one. I'm not a gnome user, but I think there's a gnome control panel for that sort of thing. 5.

Look for that thread for my reply ;-) (I've never tried to get sound working on sparc, so I'm not sure what issues you might run into.) Abe

Not on any of my Debian systems. Of course, I don't use gnome, so maybe it adds a line to the inittab to start itself these days instead of out of /etc/init.d/gdm(/etc/rc2.d/S99gdm). But of course, I don't use gnome, so I don't have problems with running out of memory anyway ~:^) a

Raptor Gfx with Sun U5
Hi all, I recently installed Debian SPARC on a Sun Ultra 5 and am really pleased with it. I'm now a definite debian fan! One problem remains however. When running XFree86 (4.1.0) I am getting lines of what looks like 'interference' lines down the screen. One part of the screen has it really bad whilst others you just just see small patches of it. The lines run horizontally and kind of 'crackle' if this makes sense. Console mode is fine it just happens when I load Xfree86, and happens at all of the resolutions I have tried running XFree86 at. The graphics card is a Raptor GFX 8P, and it is connected to a nice new Sun 21" monitor that can cope with anything this card can throw at it. When I press the button on the monitor it says: 106.2Khz / 85Hz, which is the same frequency that I run MS Windows at on this monitor on the other input, and no interference is present on that. I'm not that knowledgable about Xfree86 dot clocks or any such, but have spent many hours now trying to get rid of this interference! Now, the interesting part is, - that this interference was also present when booting the machines into Solaris in console mode, but it vanished (and I had a gorgeous rock solid display) when the Sun X server initialised. I've looked at the Sun X convig file but alas its nothing like XFree86's. Can anyone offer any advice please? I'd love to get X working so I can use debian as my primary desktop OS, else I'm going to have to stick it under the stairs as a server I think! Many thanks, Adam

Unfortunatly I don't quite understand what happened there. In any case, you'll be able to find out if the system really locks up, or if the keyboard doesn't like Debian.

That's the thing, it's not a 32-bit kernel. sparc64 runs a 64-bit kernel. The debian-sparc port runs on sparc and sparc64. We want 32-bit userspace default for sparc64, even though it runs a 64-bit kernel, but we also want the option to have 64-bit userland overlay that userspace, and we want it in a way that it runs essentially the same way as you would 32-bit apps, natively. That's the whole point. We aren't going to make a debian-sparc64 port, with fully native 64-bit apps for sparc64 machines, so the overlay is the only way, and doing it with /lib64:/usr/lib64 is the only way to get the functionality working as passively as possible. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/

problems with kernel-image-2.6.3-sparc64_1_sparc.deb
hello all I have SparcServer1 (UltraSparc 167MHz, RAM 192MB). I installed 2.6.3 kernel image found at http://www.phunnypharm.org/pub/for/sparc-folks/kernel-images-2.6/ The one did not rised after restart. Conected a console cable, hardrestarted... After silo loaded the image some strange flicking were seen on minicom (weird stuff), and boot process continued... Not for long: aacraid (RedHat/Adaptec raid driver or smth...) was the last line printed - ded end. Is any param to disable the aacraid driver without rebuilding the kernel? --- ArturasK.
