| 21:37.47 | greyfiend | Hi, i'm installing debian on a powerbook G4, having trouble with X starting and the tutes i've found say i need to get the benh kernel which is no longer availible? can anyone shed any light on this? |
| 21:38.31 | gnarface | which debian? |
| 21:38.44 | gnarface | i didn't have this problem and i'm running debian on my g4 500 titanium powerbook |
| 21:38.57 | gnarface | which X? |
| 21:39.05 | gnarface | er, when? during the installer? |
| 21:39.09 | gnarface | or after install? |
| 21:39.31 | gnarface | and which g4 powerbook? |
| 21:39.40 | greyfiend | 5.05 |
| 21:39.48 | greyfiend | and titainium |
| 21:40.14 | gnarface | you've managed to get a completed bootable system? |
| 21:40.22 | gnarface | just can't start X now? |
| 21:40.36 | greyfiend | bootable to cli |
| 21:41.02 | greyfiend | never seen anything but cli |
| 21:41.24 | gnarface | debian lenny? |
| 21:41.27 | greyfiend | yup |
| 21:41.28 | gnarface | ah |
| 21:41.32 | gnarface | that might be the big difference |
| 21:41.41 | gnarface | after i got lenny installed i did a full update to sid |
| 21:42.32 | gnarface | it took some hassling and mouseemu was broke for a long time amongst some other annoyances |
| 21:42.42 | greyfiend | is that unstable? |
| 21:42.46 | gnarface | yes |
| 21:42.55 | gnarface | right now everything works but my alt key |
| 21:43.16 | gnarface | i'm still trying to figure out why. it's only broken in X |
| 21:43.32 | greyfiend | who knows what that does anyway |
| 21:43.43 | greyfiend | did you get wireless? |
| 21:44.08 | gnarface | yea actually i even got wpa to work (not wpa2, but still better than wep-only) |
| 21:44.27 | gnarface | the trick for that was getting the newer firmware package |
| 21:44.29 | greyfiend | did you get into and graphical login before updating to sid? |
| 21:44.29 | gnarface | i forget the name |
| 21:44.31 | gnarface | firmware-something |
| 21:44.48 | greyfiend | b43-cutter for something? |
| 21:44.54 | gnarface | no didn't need that |
| 21:45.12 | gnarface | on |
| 21:45.17 | gnarface | but the firmwares were in non-free |
| 21:45.37 | gnarface | i think the install process for the firmwares package may use b43-cutter for you |
| 21:45.52 | gnarface | i remember seeing the tutorial that mentioned it but it seemed out of date |
| 21:46.01 | gnarface | and yea i think i had lenny working at one point then it broke |
| 21:46.06 | gnarface | which is why i upgraded to sid |
| 21:47.15 | gnarface | firmware-nonfree might have been the firmware package |
| 21:47.19 | gnarface | i'd have to check again. |
| 21:47.37 | gnarface | maybe firmware-linux-nonfree |
| 21:47.46 | gnarface | it wasn't there till i added the contrib and non-free parts |
| 21:48.10 | greyfiend | that might be a good starting point at least |
| 21:48.45 | gnarface | apparently even though that wifi hardware was wep-only originally, there is stuff in the new non-free firmware package that patches it to add wpa version 1 support |
| 21:49.35 | gnarface | i think b43-cutter is only for getting the firmware yourself from the OEM driver package or something. not necessary with debian |
| 21:50.45 | greyfiend | that makes sense |
