| 01:26.30 | xbaez | someone know about the problem for play audio cds in debian ? |
| 01:29.57 | flux | the problem ? |
| 01:30.31 | thebug | digital extraction |
| 01:30.46 | xbaez | yeap, when put an audio cd and you want play not work ! |
| 01:30.51 | thebug | ie you don't have the analog connection from the cd drive to the sound card |
| 01:31.08 | flux | i use "grip" to play my audio cds |
| 01:31.09 | thebug | yes, you need digital extraction to play the cd and hear things |
| 01:31.22 | flux | and there's a xmms plugin |
| 01:32.39 | xbaez | flux, wich plugin ? |
| 01:32.52 | pahartik | xbaez: "gxine" plays audio CDs just fine... |
| 01:32.58 | flux | xmms-cdread - Input plugin for XMMS that reads audio data from CDs |
| 01:34.03 | xbaez | ok thanks |
| 01:34.14 | flux | :) |
| 01:49.06 | xbaez | now just have to do that speakers work |
| 01:49.33 | xbaez | only i can listen sound with headphones |
| 01:50.17 | pahartik | xbaez: use "alsamixer" |
| 01:52.51 | xbaez | mmh not found alsamixer |
| 01:54.08 | pahartik | xbaez: you do not have "alsa-utils" installed? |
| 01:55.20 | xbaez | pahartik, yes i want it |
| 02:02.18 | xbaez | oh sorry ... yes i have installed it |
| 02:14.56 | dj-death | does someone has already used arecord on his ibook G4 ? |
| 02:15.19 | pahartik | dj-death: i have, it worked |
| 02:15.34 | dj-death | what did record ? |
| 02:15.38 | dj-death | you mic ? |
| 02:15.51 | pahartik | dj-death: yes |
| 02:16.07 | xbaez | pahartik, all work fine when have kernel 2.6.8 but when i upgrade to kernel 2.6.11 the speakers not work |
| 02:16.50 | dj-death | pahartik: is it possible to launch xmms (for example) and record what it plays with arecord ? |
| 02:16.51 | pahartik | xbaez: are we talking about iBook G4? |

| 02:18.42 | xbaez | pahartik, yes |
| 02:19.35 | dj-death | pahartik: so it's not possible to directly record what vlc is playing |

| 02:25.00 | dj-death | or not record what I heard |

| 19:22.48 | mhy | interesting: sdb : very big device. try to use READ CAPACITY(16) |
| 19:22.55 | mhy | with an Xserve RAID |
| 19:23.01 | mhy | (same for sdc which is the other side) |
| 19:23.21 | mhy | and cfdisk reports a size of 0 bytes |
| 19:23.30 | Bor_Ed | use mac-fdisk |
| 19:23.35 | Bor_Ed | cfdisk doesn't work on ppc |
| 19:23.57 | mhy | ah |
| 19:24.00 | mhy | that'd do it; thanks |
| 19:24.26 | Bor_Ed | np |
| 19:24.28 | mhy | hmm. still looks like I have some work to do: |
| 19:24.37 | mhy | (512.0G) Free space |
| 19:24.40 | mhy | should be 2.16Tb |
| 19:24.56 | mhy | probably a block number problem |
| 19:24.58 | Bor_Ed | could be that fdisk just reports wrong |
| 19:25.21 | mhy | nah, increasing the number of blocks works |
| 19:25.30 | mhy | I'll have to find out how many it should have I suppose |
| 19:25.43 | mhy | (strange that it works fine with the smaller Xserve RAID though) |
| 19:26.23 | Bor_Ed | could be app 'feature' ... sarge partitioner probably handles the stuff ok |
| 19:26.55 | mhy | yeah, wish I'd have the device connected when I installed Debian :-) |

| 21:44.50 | demon | should throw you right into yaboot |
| 21:44.50 | lowfreq_ | some don't seem to have linux.bin or what not |
| 21:45.10 | demon | that's the kernel, and you can't load the kernel directly, you have to start the loader (yaboot) first |

| 21:48.44 | lowfreq_ | but this boot problem via is ofr all distros |
| 21:48.45 | lowfreq_ | i know |
| 21:48.52 | lowfreq_ | i said that earlier |
| 21:48.57 | lowfreq_ | it will go to a white screen |
| 21:49.35 | demon | ... so you can't boot anything (even OS 9/OS X) from the CD drive? |
| 21:49.42 | lowfreq_ | and a folder with a question mark will flash in the middle, as it would if it couldn't find anything to boot from |
| 21:49.54 | lowfreq_ | That's the problem! the os9 and os X Cds will boot fine! |

| 22:08.57 | LowFreq | two directories at the root level, "boot" and "docs," along with one file. |
| 22:09.18 | LowFreq | I didn't forget to burn the iso as an actual image, if that's what you're thinking |
| 22:09.20 | demon | how did you burn the CDs? |
| 22:09.51 | demon | well, I'm thinking that you might've stripped the HFS root |
| 22:10.11 | LowFreq | via Disk Utility. "Images > Burn..." |
| 22:10.18 | LowFreq | care to explain? :P |
| 22:10.43 | demon | hm... ok, it doesn't sound like that |
| 22:10.51 | LowFreq | I might add, this happened before. |
| 22:10.57 | LowFreq | Then it worked fine. |
| 22:11.06 | LowFreq | Now it's back to the old ways. |
| 22:11.36 | LowFreq | I don't know why it worked. |
