| 02:56.25 | bleepbloop | okay |
| 02:56.56 | bleepbloop | If my X server fails to start, would doing 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' be a safe bet to try to fix it? |
| 02:57.06 | bleepbloop | sorry if that's really vague |

| 04:08.35 | hardbop200 | hi everyone - I've been gifted a powerbook g3, and would really like to install debian on it. I know there's a difference between old world/new world powerbooks, but how do I tell which one mine is? |
| 04:11.57 | *** join/#debianppc vaidy_ (~sv@59.92.133.28) |
| 04:34.21 | bleepbloop | I think powerbooks are newworld |
| 04:34.50 | bleepbloop | debian's page on supported hardware has a pretty good explanation |
| 04:35.45 | bleepbloop | i.e. a list of mac models and if they're new world or old world etc. |
| 04:35.47 | bleepbloop | try this too http://apple-history.com/ |
| 04:36.53 | bleepbloop | crap, I'm havign trouble finding it |
| 04:37.47 | bleepbloop | hardbop200: here: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch02s01.html.en |
| 04:37.52 | bleepbloop | scroll down a little bit |
| 04:40.58 | hardbop200 | according to their site, mine is a bronze keyboard m5343 |
| 04:41.13 | hardbop200 | unfortunately, the powerpc netinst disk doesn't boot when holding down C |
| 04:42.06 | bleepbloop | yeah |
| 04:42.15 | bleepbloop | macs seem to be finicky with what they start from |
| 04:42.21 | bleepbloop | what did you use to burn the disk? |
| 04:42.45 | hardbop200 | wodim at a very slow speed |
| 04:42.55 | bleepbloop | is wodim a windows app? |
| 04:43.02 | hardbop200 | no, linux app |
| 04:43.18 | bleepbloop | ohh |
| 04:43.19 | bleepbloop | hmm |
| 04:43.29 | hardbop200 | <PROTECTED> |
| 04:43.48 | hardbop200 | maybe I burned a coaster, I'll try again. |
| 04:43.51 | bleepbloop | haha |
| 04:43.56 | hardbop200 | :) |
| 04:44.04 | bleepbloop | did you do an md5sum to the file? |
| 04:44.32 | bleepbloop | what worked for me was using Disk Utility on mac os X |
| 04:44.46 | bleepbloop | I did it at the lowest speed and then had disk utility verify the disk |
| 04:44.52 | bleepbloop | or rather checked the option |
| 04:45.08 | bleepbloop | and of all the disks my imac rejected it didn't reject that one for some reason |

| 04:46.07 | bleepbloop | and after some hairpulling due to x |
| 04:46.14 | bleepbloop | I have debian lenny running on it |
| 05:22.30 | hardbop200 | slowly getting somewhere with it. my arch disk booted fine, so I'm giving another go at the debian disk. we might get there yet!!! |
| 05:38.34 | bleepbloop | hahaha |

| 16:58.05 | pahartik | Hello daven, chaitat |
| 16:58.55 | chaitat | pahartik: hey |
| 16:59.46 | chaitat | do you know which virtualization softwares are available on debian ppc? |
| 17:08.05 | pahartik | chaitat: "Qemu", "Mac-On-Linux" |
| 17:12.35 | chaitat | qemu is too slow right now |
| 17:13.04 | chaitat | just in the process of installing another linux with qemu |
| 17:13.19 | chaitat | people say there is no qemu accelerator for linuxppc too |
| 17:13.21 | chaitat | is that so? |
| 17:15.00 | pahartik | chaitat: "Mac-On-Linux" is supposedly very efficient if one does not need to run latest Linux kernel |
| 17:18.02 | chaitat | i will try Mac-On-Linux .... |
| 17:18.10 | chaitat | thanks |
| 17:27.49 | funky | have you tried to run xp on maconlinux in an g4 ibook@133 |
| 17:28.40 | funky | chaitat: yup, there isn't kqemu |
| 18:04.44 | chaitat | another question, now i am running yellowdoglinux |
| 18:04.57 | chaitat | but ... actually i don't like redheat |
| 18:05.01 | chaitat | redhat* in general |
| 18:05.29 | chaitat | and i am not sure if the software in repository of yellowdog will be up-to-date or not |
| 18:05.41 | chaitat | is debianppc software repos have new softwares? |
| 18:05.55 | chaitat | like... the team is active? |
| 18:06.09 | chaitat | i am thinking about switching to debianppc or gentooppc |
| 18:22.34 | chaitat | hmm mac-on-linux? |
| 18:22.47 | chaitat | install mac on linux? |
| 18:22.53 | chaitat | that's not what i am lookin g for :D |
| 20:26.23 | chaitat | sweet |
