| 05:47.19 | winstonw | hey, anybody on a mac-based laptop with 6.0.0? I am having issues with Xorg and the kernel's mouse emulation? -- I have f11 and f12 set to the mouse emul keys (dev.mac_hid.mouse_button#_keycode) and in Xorg they keys are being registered as F11 and F12 respectedly as well as mouse buttons |
| 05:48.58 | pahartik | winstonw: "sudo apt-get install mouseemu" |
| 05:53.11 | winstonw | oh, thankyou pahartik, quick response :-)) |
| 05:54.35 | pahartik | winstonw: I have been using Debian GNU/Linux on Apple iBook G4 since 2004... As main workstation |
| 05:56.43 | winstonw | Nice, I have this old iBook G3 (produced late '99) and it has served me well using debian.. I have another machine that functions as my workstation / base-of-operations though :-) |
| 06:03.00 | pahartik | winstonw: Colourful iBook G3? |
| 06:09.02 | winstonw | Turquoise |
| 06:09.05 | winstonw | :-) |
| 06:09.08 | winstonw | clamshell |
| 06:11.57 | pahartik | winstonw: Very good, that it still runs... |
| 06:19.41 | winstonw | yes, the only wear is cosmetic and a think a part of the display's light is out, but it's not very significant |
| 06:19.43 | winstonw | and the battery |
| 06:19.45 | winstonw | got repalced |

| 10:01.57 | MacManDan | Mornin. Does anyone run debian/ubuntu on a PoerMac G4? |
| 10:03.34 | MacManDan | Topic says "Debian CDs are not and cannot be bootable on OldWorld PowerMacs". What is meant by old World PowerMacs? |
| 10:03.50 | Nalle__ | I think pre-G3 |
| 10:03.58 | Nalle__ | Pre-G4 even |
| 10:04.03 | Nalle__ | My old G3 doesn't boot either |
| 10:04.12 | MacManDan | Okay I have a G4 and it is a bit messed up. |
| 10:04.13 | Nalle__ | Haven't trid on the G4 MDD |
| 10:04.24 | MacManDan | I am getting a MDD soon. |
| 10:04.39 | MacManDan | Also waiting on a Mac USB drive. |
| 10:05.07 | simonrvn | no, it depends on the version of openfirmware |
| 10:05.34 | simonrvn | basically, anything before the lombard is old world |
| 10:05.49 | MacManDan | I downloaded some PPC Linux distros and no matter what one they never boot. |
| 10:06.10 | simonrvn | e.g., a b&w g3 is new world |
| 10:06.11 | MacManDan | It sees the disks but refuse to boot. |
| 10:07.15 | simonrvn | and, debian isn't ubuntu, and ubuntu isn't debian. they're different distros. |
| 10:08.08 | MacManDan | Ah. |
| 10:08.21 | simonrvn | anyway, with that out of the way... what sort of 'g4' is this? is it a "real" g4, or an upgraded older machine? |
| 10:10.05 | MacManDan | PowerMac G4 Dual 1Ghz 1.5GB memory. bought for $100 |
| 10:10.44 | MacManDan | 200GB HD and 30GB HD. It had an 80GB (not 30) but because it wasn't working I swapped it out. |
| 10:11.04 | simonrvn | ok, so should boot... did you try booting it with the option key held (*right* after the *boing*)? |
| 10:11.56 | simonrvn | it'll scan for bootable devices... if it's a good burn, it'll show the penguin on a disk (or cd) |
| 10:12.28 | MacManDan | No. |
| 10:12.41 | MacManDan | I am downloading another image and will try it. |
| 10:13.00 | MacManDan | Will it work with rewrites or should I use a cdr? |
| 10:13.26 | simonrvn | cd-rw works on an old imac, it'll work on that |
| 10:34.42 | Nalle__ | Holding down 'c' also works |
| 10:34.52 | Nalle__ | Or from openfirmware prompt "boot cd" |
| 10:45.07 | MacManDan | All it does is eject the CD. |
| 10:46.59 | MacManDan | Cancel that. lol |

| 20:09.11 | dougmencken | hi! how shiny is the sun at the powerpc side? |
| 20:13.09 | dougmencken | what's going on with mozilla? will 4.0 be buildable for ppc? |
| 20:13.44 | dougmencken | if not, which browser to use then? (inb4 lynx/links) |
| 20:22.21 | pahartik | Hello dougmencken |
| 20:28.40 | dougmencken | pahartik: hello, howdy? |
| 20:39.31 | pahartik | dougmencken: I use "Lynx 2.8.8dev.1" on workstations and "Fennec beta 4" on Maemo device... Not sure about how portable "Fennec" currently is |
| 20:43.23 | pahartik | dougmencken: Oh, there it is... "http://ports.ubuntu.com.ipv6.sixxs.org/pool/universe/f/fennec/", "Fennec beta 3" binary package for PowerPC, just about two weeks old... |
| 20:44.39 | dougmencken | okay, time to dive into |
| 20:47.08 | pahartik | dougmencken: With URL dug out, I am going to try it on PowerPC as well |
