| 04:25.08 | lcc | hi. I've got two i-macs. G3 I believe, with openfirmware. one boots from usb and the other doesn't. can I cp yaboot to the main apple partition, tell it to boot that, then from yaboot, boot from the usb? |
| 04:25.49 | lcc | is yaboot just one program, or does it depend on other programs from the usb? |
| 04:25.57 | lcc | I mean cdrom. |
| 04:26.14 | lcc | I'm going to try and see. |
| 05:01.56 | simonlnu | use ybin to write to the bootstrap |
| 05:02.01 | simonlnu | it's safer |
| 05:02.29 | simonlnu | (you might want to try out "ybin -v" for fun, too) |

| 05:55.03 | lcc | I'm trying to trick out openfirmware. |
| 06:09.26 | simonlnu | why not just write to OF what you want to do? |
| 06:12.59 | lcc | simonlnu: what do you mean? OF doesn't pick up my usb stick @ all. so I can't boot it directly from OF, so I'm trying to use another route. I just need some way to boot from the usb, as the cd drive is ruined, and I don't have an external one. |
| 06:13.17 | simonlnu | ah o, i see |
| 06:13.20 | simonlnu | ok* |
| 06:14.21 | lcc | it seems, from googling, that yaboot can only boot what OF can boot, so I may be out of luck. I didn't know if there was a hack of some sort I could do. |
| 06:15.22 | *** join/#debianppc vaidy_ (~sv@117.192.32.216) |
| 06:15.32 | simonlnu | pretty much yes. |
| 06:19.14 | lcc | well, thanks. I guess I'll just wait until I get an external drive. |
| 06:19.53 | simonlnu | ok dokey |
| 06:44.32 | lcc | it was cool to even get yaboot to boot. :-) thanks anyways. |

| 16:58.56 | _deadmund_ | I'm trying to upgrade my debian stable to debian testing (by just changing my sources.list) and now I get all sorts of 'failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-powerpc/Packages.gz undetermined error [IP: 149.20.20.6 80] |
| 17:14.17 | pahartik | _deadmund_: Does "apt-get update" fail like that? |
| 17:15.23 | _deadmund_ | pahartik: that is what is failing yes. I think I need apt_pkg It's python module that shows up when I do apt-get safe-upgrade as missing. It's provided by packages like python-apt and python3-apt which are not installed on my system right now |
| 17:16.32 | _deadmund_ | oh wait... |
| 17:17.05 | _deadmund_ | yeah, when I try to install anything I get an error about apt_pkg missing (not necessarily apt-get upgrade or aptitude safe-upgrade) |
| 17:17.45 | _deadmund_ | I think it has something to do with the fact that python2.7 is default on my system but there is no python-apt for python 2.7 according to this: http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=apt_pkg&mode=filename&suite=stable&arch=any |
| 17:17.59 | _deadmund_ | I tried to install the 2.6 one and it yelled at me that it breaks the dependency python >= 2.7 |
| 17:18.23 | _deadmund_ | apt_pkg.so is the missing file definitely |
| 17:20.41 | pahartik | _deadmund_: Fix it temporarily by "dpkg --install" |
| 17:21.00 | _deadmund_ | pahartik: Can you be more specific? dpkg --install what exactly? |
| 17:22.44 | pahartik | _deadmund_: Package that provides missing library |
| 17:23.10 | _deadmund_ | pahartik: That's what I said. It won't let me because it breaks the dependency python ( >= 2.7) |
| 17:23.37 | _deadmund_ | I noticed on my system now I have python2.7 (default) only |
| 17:23.54 | _deadmund_ | apt_pkg is provided by python-apt which is a 2.6 || 2.5 lib only |
| 17:24.24 | _deadmund_ | there is a python3-apt but it does mot provide apt-pkg.so |
