| 05:29.54 | Nalle_ | Morning |
| 05:31.44 | pahartik | Hello Nalle_ Morning |
| 05:33.45 | Nalle_ | Morning paha |
| 05:34.15 | Nalle_ | paha; regarding the failure; the software (I forget what it was called..) just said, that downloading of some 900+ files failed and therefore it will not check nor create the image. |
| 05:35.04 | Nalle_ | Perhaps a bad mirror, who knows, but irritating nevertheless. |
| 05:35.24 | Nalle_ | I'd still MUCH prefer an actual CD image that I could just burn and get on with it |
| 05:36.22 | pahartik | Nalle_: Which mirror? |
| 05:39.33 | pahartik | Nalle_: If it is "stable" and "ftp.fi.debian.org", it should have worked... Unless there was broken proxy or unstable connection |
| 05:41.17 | pahartik | Nalle_: Point to same mirror and try again, remaining packages should get fetched... Even rest of packages that were partially fetched |
| 05:43.45 | pahartik | Nalle_: If that does not help any, point to another mirror for rest of missing packages |
| 05:47.58 | pahartik | Nalle_: Though, "900 packages" sounds close to entire contents of CD image, as DVD image I most recently constructed had something like 3000 packages |
| 05:53.34 | Nalle_ | paha, I used the closest, jyu.fi mirror |
| 05:54.11 | Nalle_ | No idea why |
| 05:54.27 | Nalle_ | It did download quite a bit of stuff though |
| 05:55.38 | Nalle_ | I think I'll just try to find a CD image |
| 05:55.55 | Nalle_ | Cannot be arsed with this silly thing really. |
| 05:57.26 | pahartik | Nalle_: I have not had any significant problems with "jigdo-lite", used it occasionally for last ~6 years |
| 06:00.51 | Nalle_ | Well, didn't work for me :/ |
| 06:01.39 | pahartik | Nalle_: If you have IPv6, I can construct CD image from contents of DVD image and share with you |
| 06:01.52 | Nalle_ | No, no IPv6 here |
| 06:05.56 | pahartik | Nalle_: Get IPv6 tunnel? |
| 06:10.19 | Nalle_ | Why? |
| 06:11.41 | pahartik | Nalle_: Since native IPv6 is not provided by uplink ISP |
| 06:22.05 | Nalle_ | Yes I know but why would I need IPv6 in the first place? |
| 06:26.38 | pahartik | Nalle_: Because it is good... "ftp.fi.debian.org", "ftp.se.debian.org", "www.debian.org" and "packages.debian.org" have AAAA |
| 06:51.33 | Nalle_ | I've no idea what that even means :D |

| 10:31.41 | danboid | I couldn't get testing to install from the cd on my emac so I've installed squeeze then done a dist-upgrade but after rebooting it says its 'Given up waiting for root device' and I'm dropped to a (initramfs) prompt. How do I fix this? |
| 10:32.57 | danboid | I can't find /etc/yaboot.conf - is that the file I'm looking for? |
| 10:36.05 | danboid | There are very few files in /etc by the looks of things including no fstab so I presume I'd need to boot from a live cd to fix or just re-install |
| 12:58.32 | pahartik | danboid: If kernel from "testing" does not work, boot with "stable" kernel |
| 13:00.40 | danboid | pahartik, Is the testing kernel known not to work on the emac yet? |
| 13:02.01 | danboid | pahartik, So you think I'd be safe doing a 'apt-get upgrade' from squeeze versus a dist-upgrade then? When I did a dist-upgrade I didn't get a choice of kernel nor do I see a way to select the kernel to boot under yaboot |
| 13:04.37 | pahartik | danboid: That might be case, or then it is just problem with kernel not finding specified root filesystem if device name changed |
| 13:06.59 | danboid | pahartik, I tried installing wheezy from todays PPC testing DI. It sems to install OK but then it fails when loading the v second stage bootstrap - I just get the sad mac icon before it reboots |
| 13:07.23 | pahartik | danboid: Maybe "upgrade" or "dist-upgrade" default to discarding working kernel and cause problem if user does not pay attention |
| 13:07.24 | danboid | fails when loading the second stage bootstrap, sorry |
| 13:21.30 | danboid | If I just do a apt-get upgrade to wheezy will that upgrade everything but the kernel? |
| 13:23.10 | danboid | If it does install the new kernel and it doesn't boot - how do I fix it? What good LinuxPPC live CDs are there? |
| 13:25.17 | pahartik | danboid: At least make sure that kernel image package does not have "autoremove" flag before "upgrade" |
| 13:26.08 | danboid | pahartik, Never had to do that? How/where do I do that? |
| 13:28.04 | pahartik | danboid: In "aptitude", press "m |
| 13:28.24 | pahartik | danboid: In "aptitude", press "m" on top of package |
| 13:32.46 | danboid | pahartik, OK, done that. I'm trying a wheezy upgrade again now then.. |
| 13:35.54 | pahartik | danboid: Oh yes, and do not forget to edit "/etc/yaboot.conf" for kernel images to have sensible labels and then "ybin -v" |
| 13:40.08 | danboid | pahartik, OK, thanks! |
| 13:40.52 | danboid | pahartik, Is Debian PPC not going to use grub2? I thought cross platform support was one of the main new features in grub2? |
| 13:43.48 | pahartik | danboid: I have used "grub-ieee1275" on "PowerMac G4", "iBook G4" and "iMac G4"... It has worked for two years or so |
| 13:44.21 | danboid | pahartik, but testing still uses yaboot - why? |
| 13:45.10 | pahartik | danboid: It still requires manual install... |
| 13:47.29 | danboid | OK, I've got wheezy! :) |
| 13:49.30 | pahartik | danboid: Very good |
