| 17:53.41 | dury | hi there channel |
| 17:57.30 | dury | can someone help me to boot debian in powerpc G3, please |
| 17:58.15 | dury | I'm not able to do it... I'm doing my best but I can't |
| 18:09.26 | dury | helloooo |
| 18:10.35 | dury | nobody home |
| 18:16.57 | macluvjay | hello dury |
| 18:17.04 | macluvjay | what seems to be the problem |
| 18:17.16 | dury | gess at the end |
| 18:17.35 | dury | booting the bloody G3 |
| 18:17.35 | macluvjay | first, have you md5summed the image you downloaded? |
| 18:18.05 | macluvjay | also the image you burned |
| 18:18.06 | macluvjay | ^the burned cd rather |
| 18:18.47 | dury | you mean the type of cd where I burned the iso? |
| 18:19.21 | macluvjay | you need to confirm that the image downloaded properly and that you burned the cd properly |
| 18:20.06 | macluvjay | also, is this etch or sid? |
| 18:20.47 | dury | what you mean etch or sid? sorry to ask you that |
| 18:21.57 | macluvjay | what release of debina are you using? where did you download the iso from? |
| 18:23.35 | dury | hang on... macluvjay I really appreciate your help be patient ok? |
| 18:23.53 | dury | I'm a disabled person |
| 18:23.59 | dury | not kidding |
| 18:24.11 | dury | mmm.. |
| 18:24.15 | macluvjay | not problem |
| 18:24.18 | dury | rt |
| 18:25.06 | macluvjay | I just check backlog, I see you DLed 31r5 |
| 18:25.39 | macluvjay | is the downloaded image on a Linux/OSX/Windows machine? |
| 18:26.44 | dury | the iso I've downloaded it's debian-31r5-powerpc-netinst.iso |
| 18:28.05 | dury | the image downloaded it's on a linux machine |
| 18:29.40 | macluvjay | ok, can you md5 the image and paste the output while I try to find it on the website |
| 18:32.25 | macluvjay | 8d0a85ac0ab5293a64034d168238da65 |
| 18:32.33 | macluvjay | it should match that^ |
| 18:32.48 | macluvjay | if it doesn't, there was a problem during download |
| 18:33.40 | macluvjay | if it does match, check the burned disc |
| 18:34.01 | macluvjay | if it also matches, then we can move on with testing your harware |
| 18:34.29 | dury | sorry my friend I was talking with somebody else over here |
| 18:34.44 | dury | I'm going to chech that |
| 18:36.54 | dury | macluvjay: it matches :) |
| 18:38.07 | dury | mmm better burn that image in a new disck |
| 18:40.13 | dury | I'm going to buy a new one the shop it's just in front of me, hang on, ok |
| 18:41.05 | dury | it costs about 80 cents euro cents |
| 18:41.25 | dury | wait |
| 18:45.07 | macluvjay | well, if the previously burned cd matched also, you should be fine |
| 19:01.05 | dury | macluvjay: I've burned the new cd |
| 19:01.49 | dury | macluvjay: in the cd there is as |
| 19:02.11 | dury | macluvjay: in the cd there is a md5sum.txt |
| 19:03.08 | macluvjay | ok, well you need to run an md5 check on the burned cd to confirm it's integrity |
| 19:03.34 | macluvjay | this is a G3 powermac? |
| 19:04.06 | macluvjay | beige or blue and white? |
| 19:05.38 | dury | macluvjay: how can I run a md5 |
| 19:06.10 | dury | it's beige |
| 19:06.24 | macluvjay | I thought you ran it already on the downloaded iso.. |
| 19:07.17 | dury | oooh in the iso file |
| 19:07.43 | dury | but it tells you before burning |
| 19:08.33 | macluvjay | oh, you're using k3b |
| 19:08.42 | dury | yeah |
| 19:09.07 | macluvjay | ok, yeah it md5s the image for you before the burn |
| 19:09.30 | dury | right |
| 19:09.47 | dury | after burned? |
| 19:10.54 | macluvjay | w/ the burned cd in the tray and mounted: md5sum /media/cdrom |
| 19:11.15 | macluvjay | there may be a tool for this in nautilus, but I haven't used it |
| 19:12.01 | dury | it creates in the cd a md5sum.txt I've opened it and it's full of those long numbers, right |
| 19:12.25 | dury | anyway...รง |
| 19:12.55 | dury | I'm going to check in the mac if this cd boots |
| 19:13.00 | macluvjay | it should just spit out the numbers to a console |
| 19:13.18 | macluvjay | do you have a working MacOS on it already? |
| 19:13.34 | macluvjay | if so, you'll probably need bootx |
| 19:13.48 | macluvjay | if not we'll have to mess with openfirmware |
| 19:14.11 | dury | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:14.40 | dury | yeah MacOS 8.6 installed |
| 19:15.18 | dury | what you mean to mess with openfirmware? |
| 19:16.00 | macluvjay | if it doesn't boot by holding down the `c` key, then you will need to install bootx in OS 8 first |
| 19:16.26 | dury | ok hang on |
| 19:16.56 | macluvjay | http://lowendmac.com/stotler/06/0731.html |
| 19:17.11 | macluvjay | ^ that is a good reference |
| 19:17.41 | macluvjay | http://www.gifford.co.uk/~coredump/beigeg3.htm |
| 19:17.47 | macluvjay | ^ this might also help |
| 19:18.22 | macluvjay | sorry it took so long to get to this point, but I wanted to make sure your cd/image was ok too |
| 19:19.41 | dury | How can I know that.... sorry to ask u that? |
| 19:20.12 | dury | or you mean the download image |
| 19:20.24 | dury | the iso image? |
| 19:20.39 | macluvjay | well if you md5sum them and the output matches the string I pasted earlier, then you are ok |
| 19:21.00 | macluvjay | if k3b says the image is ok, its pretty saef to assume that's fine |
| 19:21.16 | dury | right |
| 19:21.39 | dury | hang on I go to probe in the mac |
| 19:29.52 | dury | macluvjay: it doesn't boot |
| 19:30.03 | dury | bloody mac :( |
| 19:30.51 | macluvjay | have you tried bootx? |
| 19:30.51 | dury | so need to install bootx |
| 19:31.02 | dury | not yet |
| 19:31.15 | macluvjay | the "old world" Macs will not boot linux natively |
| 19:31.30 | macluvjay | something about openfirmware limitations |
| 19:32.08 | dury | how can I do it with bootx |
| 19:32.52 | dury | is it an image, or what? |
| 19:33.09 | macluvjay | check those guides I posted for you, they will help a lot |
| 19:33.18 | dury | ok |
| 19:33.19 | macluvjay | install it in MacOS |
| 19:33.40 | macluvjay | it is a program that will allow you to boot the debian cd |
| 19:34.18 | macluvjay | you will have to boot into MacOS, run the program, then it will reboot the Mac into Linux |
| 19:34.49 | macluvjay | you could alternatively use FreeBSD's quick, but that's a bit more complicated |
| 19:38.22 | dury | which is the link to get that |
| 19:39.24 | macluvjay | which? |
| 19:39.28 | macluvjay | quick? |
| 19:42.30 | macluvjay | s/quick/quik/g |
| 19:42.39 | macluvjay | but I'd suggest you stick with bootx |
| 19:42.57 | dury | http://penguinppc.org/historical/benh/BootX_1.2.2.sit is that theproper link to get it? |
| 19:43.24 | dury | hahahaha |
| 19:43.44 | dury | yeah I get nervous |
| 19:44.33 | dury | ok the mac has internet connection |
| 19:45.06 | dury | put that url in it and download that that *.sit file |
| 19:45.21 | dury | is it correct? |
| 19:46.14 | macluvjay | yeah, sure |
| 19:46.46 | dury | good I really appreciate your help you know how.... :) |
| 19:47.41 | macluvjay | it is not a problem |
| 19:47.52 | macluvjay | I am at work right now, and will be leaving for school later |
| 19:48.14 | macluvjay | I also have a test tonight, so I may not be available... |
| 19:48.44 | macluvjay | if you stick with those two guides I gave you, you should be moving right along :) |
| 19:49.00 | dury | right.. all my best for you |
| 19:49.12 | macluvjay | :) |
| 19:49.26 | dury | once again really appreciate it |
| 19:49.37 | dury | :) |

| 19:50.54 | dury | encorage yourself! you will see you are going to pass |
| 19:51.16 | macluvjay | eh, I'll do alright, it's trig identities and I've got them in the TI89 |
| 19:51.31 | macluvjay | I just need to brush up on the unit circle before I go into it |
| 19:51.48 | dury | great! that's what I want to hear |
| 19:52.23 | dury | are you a female |
| 19:52.30 | dury | or male |

| 19:53.40 | dury | you support me pretty well |
| 19:53.56 | dury | see you |
| 19:54.02 | macluvjay | :) |
