| 03:03.50 | simonlnu | AR-Brad: firmware-linux-nonfree maybe, or some other package |
| 03:07.10 | pahartik | Hello simonlnu morning |
| 03:07.26 | simonlnu | hi pahartik |
| 03:23.57 | AR-Brad | I figured out what I needed earlier.. |
| 03:24.07 | AR-Brad | I need an actual firmware update on the Airport card itself. |

| 04:31.55 | simonlnu | ah |
| 05:22.23 | davelister | negatory simonlnu |
| 05:22.30 | davelister | he needs b43-fwcutter |
| 05:22.48 | davelister | sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter |
| 05:23.46 | davelister | or, alternatively, while plugged in via ethernet, change your /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect the nonfree repositories, sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade |
| 05:24.00 | davelister | that should install the necessary firmware et al |

| 05:49.41 | GTRsdk | tries to get it working on an iMac G4 |
| 05:52.41 | pahartik | GTRsdk: "Apple iMac G4" works well over here |
| 05:57.25 | GTRsdk | pahartik: are there any tricks you're using? I can't get the graphics to work properly :-/ |
| 05:58.24 | pahartik | GTRsdk: "xserver-xorg-video-nv" |
| 05:58.55 | GTRsdk | pahartik: in the second stage? |
| 05:59.29 | GTRsdk | second stage boot...? |
| 06:00.23 | pahartik | GTRsdk: I do not remember problem with that... |
| 06:03.54 | GTRsdk | pahartik: must be different graphics cards? |
| 06:07.01 | pahartik | GTRsdk: Must be different something |
| 06:07.33 | GTRsdk | pahartik: Are you using Squeeze, Wheezy, or Lenny? |
| 06:07.37 | GTRsdk | is trying wheezy |
| 06:10.48 | pahartik | GTRsdk: "squeeze" and "wheezy" |
| 06:12.26 | GTRsdk | pahartik: hmm.... not sure what to do... |
| 06:16.41 | pahartik | GTRsdk: Is it that even installer does not work at all? |
| 06:18.35 | GTRsdk | pahartik: I had to run video=ofonly to avoid kpanics |
| 06:21.19 | pahartik | GTRsdk: Does that work for installed system as well? |
| 06:21.45 | GTRsdk | pahartik: how would I do that? in the second stage loader? |
| 06:22.53 | pahartik | GTRsdk: At "yaboot" or "grub" prompt one can add parameters after label... |
| 06:24.02 | GTRsdk | trying "Linux video=ofonly" |
| 06:24.19 | GTRsdk | ahh eww... not pretty. Same to where I was |
| 06:25.17 | pahartik | GTRsdk: Did you also try with "nomodeset" parameter or something like that? |
| 06:27.37 | GTRsdk | not yet |
| 06:28.49 | pahartik | GTRsdk: There is also possibility that you need to use "single" kernel parameter and fix X11 server settings, if that causes problem you have |
| 06:41.43 | GTRsdk | will have to try that later |
