| 03:56.12 | pahartik | verNoningoaL: did you manage to set up partitions for "root" and "swap" and so on? |
| 03:56.39 | verNoningoaL | i did that with the guided partition |
| 03:56.47 | verNoningoaL | then i set up the partiotion manually |
| 03:56.52 | verNoningoaL | and same results |

| 04:09.33 | pahartik | simonrvn: it is apparently error message, not warning |
| 04:09.55 | simonrvn | yeh, i get that too. doesn't matter |
| 04:10.09 | simonrvn | i.e, it isn't fatal |
| 04:10.47 | dodgyville | Ok, in the log: "Fatal server error: caught signal 7, server aborting" |

| 04:14.24 | dodgyville | but it's definitely (EE) Cannot read V_BIOS |

| 05:00.29 | andy___ | k I've tried google :) |
| 05:00.40 | andy___ | which is how I found this channel. |
| 05:02.12 | andy___ | I have a G4 with a ADC video card and display |
| 05:02.42 | andy___ | I installed the base install using install24-safe because the screen would blank |
| 05:02.43 | simonrvn | luis: yup |
| 05:02.45 | luis | simonrvn: i booted the install CD (it's the businesscard netinst image, btw) and it there are no hd* under /dev |
| 05:03.05 | luis | im going yo try another kernel |
| 05:03.07 | simonrvn | luis: it's running devfs if it's 2.4 |
| 05:03.24 | andy___ | when I rebooted, I see the yaboot screen, then it blanks out. |
| 05:03.25 | simonrvn | luis: 2.6 boot it'll be udev. you'll see /dev/h* |
| 05:04.20 | luis | i tried 2.6 first~~~ |
| 05:04.27 | luis | didnt work |
| 05:05.29 | luis | simonrvn: it seems to detect hda it shows up in the boot messages but there are no /dev/hda* |
| 05:06.12 | andy___ | is there a better channel for a question like this? |
| 05:06.15 | luis | oh, maybe i should use install instead of expert |
| 05:06.15 | simonrvn | you have to install the hardware detection things first ("detect hardware") |
| 05:06.50 | luis | simonrvn: thanks |
| 05:07.43 | andy___ | I could just run yellowdog... :-/ |
| 05:08.29 | simonrvn | andy___: how about you be more specific |
| 05:08.58 | chrisa | We're talking a latest sarge installer, right? |
| 05:09.04 | andy___ | I guess the base 3.0r4 install doesn't like my video card or display |
| 05:09.15 | luis | simonrvn: sorry, but how do I "detect hardware" ? |
| 05:09.35 | andy___ | I get a blank screen unless I use install24-safe |
| 05:09.58 | simonrvn | andy___: use sarge - woody is too old if you have a recent machine... |
| 05:10.01 | andy___ | then after I install base system, I reboot and get blank screen after the bootloader |
| 05:10.15 | andy___ | this is a machine with ADC |
| 05:10.29 | simonrvn | my point still remains |
| 05:10.42 | andy___ | oh sorry. |
| 05:11.20 | andy___ | I'll try sarge |
| 05:11.31 | andy___ | Thogh this box is 2000 vintage. |
| 05:11.45 | simonrvn | luis: read the install guide. you managed to install the first time, right? do the same steps, up until you can access the hardware, which comes after the hardware detection phase.. |
| 05:12.02 | andy___ | simonvrn: thanks :) |
| 05:15.17 | andy___ | simonrvn: does sarge correspond to a version number? I only can locate 3.0r4 images. |
| 05:15.39 | simonrvn | www.debian.org/CD/ |
| 05:16.13 | andy___ | yep |
| 05:16.49 | luis | simonrvn: I see thanks, but after the hardware detection phase there's still no /dev/hd* |

| 05:20.27 | dodgyville | It took a bit of hacking at the XFree86 file ... but it kindof works |

| 05:21.56 | simonrvn | chrisa said earlier that it's 1024x768 |
| 05:22.01 | luis | simonrvn: it worked, many thanks.. you saved me :) |
| 05:22.43 | simonrvn | not magic ;). you're welcome |
| 05:22.58 | dodgyville | simonrvn: It looks 800x600 |
| 05:23.18 | andy___ | is it all mushy? |
| 05:23.51 | dodgyville | The desktop is larger than the screen |

| 05:24.36 | simonrvn | dodgyville: you need to set the res. right. it's doing a virtual desktop ATM |
| 05:27.57 | dodgyville | Just a few more questions I think. This debian on ibook that I've done is for my boyfriend. He's used to using OSX. I haven't much experience with that OS, so what would ppl recommend as a replacement, KDE or gnome? |
| 05:30.01 | simonrvn | newbies like to use gnome, kde, xfce4, that kind of thing. you could always start him off on something less bloated if he's used to the command line, or more spartan environments (read: if he doesn't need icons on the 'desktop' and such) |

| 05:39.25 | luis | Does he feel the same way? :) |
| 05:40.59 | dodgyville | luis: Well, I have had *some* experience with OSX and windows, and I actually believe linux is better. The software is more accessible (free, comes with distro, full-featured). |
| 05:43.06 | luis | dodgyville: yes, I like debian a lot too.. I don't like the find-app-site/download/get-crack-or-serial-number/run-installer for many reasons. |
| 05:43.29 | luis | dodgyville: still, OSX has some advantadges to linux/ppc |
| 05:44.12 | dodgyville | luis: Exhibit A: xserver is a bugger to install |
| 05:44.29 | luis | dodgyville: no its not ;) |
| 05:44.39 | luis | dodgyville: at least not in Panther (10.3) |
| 05:44.43 | dodgyville | The desktop is still larger than the screen. How do I get the resolution right? |
| 05:45.07 | simonrvn | set the resolution... |
| 05:45.12 | dodgyville | luis: maybe not to install, but it to configure on an ibook2 (which is fairly old now) |
| 05:45.57 | dodgyville | simonrvn: This may sound stupid, but I know on a PC keyboard I can do CTL_ALT + / - to cycle but I have trouble with the mac keyboard layout :) |
| 05:54.48 | dodgyville | The desktop is at 1024x768 but the screen resolution seems to be a 800x600, but that's seems impossible because ibook2 screen is 1024x768 |
| 05:57.10 | chrisa | 1024 is the max, you can most definitely go *below* it |
| 05:58.17 | dodgyville | chrisa: There's no 800x600 entry in the XFree86-4 file |
| 05:58.47 | chrisa | Then you've managed to make the same mistake a lot of users seem to pull off |
| 05:58.53 | chrisa | Damned if I can remember how they did it though |
| 06:00.28 | dodgyville | chrisa: That's painfully hilarious |
| 06:26.26 | simonrvn | dodgyville: no different. just gotta use the Fn key |
| 06:26.56 | simonrvn | um, usually they just hit return until they exit, and don't read the debconf messages |

| 14:31.57 | sobersabre | cluster q... any body worked with CSM under Debian ? |
| 14:32.37 | *** join/#debianppc grivell (~grivell@pcp05900009pcs.glst3401.nj.comcast.net) |
| 14:37.38 | deadsmith | Do I need to do mouse button emulation manually (echo to /proc) or is there a script already pacakged in the distro somewhere? |
| 14:38.24 | sobersabre | have you installed gpm already ? |
| 14:38.39 | sobersabre | deadsmith , i'm talking to you... |
| 14:38.49 | sobersabre | apt-get install gpm |
| 14:40.59 | pahartik | sobersabre: "gpm" has got nothing to do with "dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation"... |
| 14:44.18 | pahartik | deadsmith: for example you could define "dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1", "dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 87" and "dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 88" in "/etc/sysctl.conf" |
| 14:46.50 | deadsmith | sobersabre, no gpm... |
| 14:46.58 | deadsmith | but I could certainly install it. |
| 14:47.35 | al_ | you don't need gpm to have mouse buttons emulation |
| 14:47.46 | deadsmith | pahartik, okay, I can do it in sysctl.conf. that's a good enough solution for me. I notice on a couple of other distro with the /etc/sysconfig setup, there's a file called mouse-emu and I didn't want to stray from the distro specifc way if there was one. |
| 14:47.53 | deadsmith | thanks for the help, all. |
| 14:48.38 | grivell | In fact, most of us prefer not having gpm ;) |
| 14:50.04 | deadsmith | hrmmm... |
| 14:50.06 | deadsmith | actually... |
| 14:50.08 | deadsmith | one more question... |
| 14:50.20 | deadsmith | I had hoped to use the little enter key for right clcik... |
| 14:50.30 | deadsmith | and fn+enter for middle click... |
| 14:50.46 | deadsmith | but showkey doesn't want to show me the key number for them... |
| 14:50.59 | deadsmith | it will spit it out in hex, but there are two numbers per press... |
| 14:52.06 | deadsmith | i'll just experiment... |
| 14:52.23 | pahartik | deadsmith: i use "F11" and "F12" on iBook, "F14" and "F15" on ADB keyboards |
| 14:53.37 | deadsmith | pahartik, yeah, I tried that, but wanted something more in reach of the trackpad... |
| 14:54.02 | deadsmith | button 96 works for enter... |
| 14:54.08 | deadsmith | but I can't get anything for fn+enter.. |
| 14:54.34 | deadsmith | when I press fn+enter in showkey I get 0x7f 0xff |
| 14:54.42 | deadsmith | which is a little weird... |
| 14:56.48 | deadsmith | i guess I'll try 127 or 128... thanks again :o) |
