Now that it is going to be used for other things by the owner Benoitc, we are looking into finding a new one. Thanks Benoit, for providing us with the service for so long! Since most of us have iBooks and/or rather crappy internet uplinks or no direct access to PPC machines at all from home - like me at the moment - we are looking for a machine with specs similar to those: G4 500mhz + 512MB RAM + (1G prefferred) 40GB HDD + DSL/Cable connection of which we may use 128kbit/s upstream and it would be nice to have around 1mbit/s down. The system has to be a install of base/ with openssh, apache & rsync. The rest is optional and will be set up by us. Maintainance is also done by the devs unless we really need hands on support. Users on the machine will only be devs of archlinuxppc. Everytime there is going to be a new account, we will contact you. In return we cannot to much but mention you or your company on our website. This is a no-budget project after all. :) Thanks for paying attention to all safety instructions. We hope you enjoyed the flight. -Z From zac at zacbrown.org Fri Aug 10 13:15:04 2007 From: zac at zacbrown.org (Zac Brown) Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:15:04 -0400 Subject: [arch-ports] [ppc] Buildd looking for a new home In-Reply-To: <46BC81A4.7040202@archlinuxppc.org> References: <46BC81A4.7040202@archlinuxppc.org> Message-ID: <46BC9D18.4050006@zacbrown.org> Hi, I have a Mac Mini that I'm willing to offer up to the cause. I'd like to see Arch on PPC and I'm not using the machine for much. It currently only has 256 MB of ram but I'm willing to upgrade it to 768 MB of ram as thats only a 40 dollar upgrade. It is a 1.25 GHz G4 w/ a 40 GB hard drive. If the team is interested, please let me know and I'll look into purchasing the extra ram for it. As a side note I am interested in working on developing Arch for PPC so if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

I got it to build that way a coupla months ago, but then stupidly reformatted my HD without backing it up (I forgot a lot of stuff.) SInce then, I haven't been able to get it to build.

Opening a task is sort of non-obvious. Blame a poor UI in Flyspray. When you've logged in, you'll have a header. There'll be a combo box that says "All Projects". You use this to pick the project you want to create a bug in. Select "Archlinux PPC", and press the switch button. You'll now have an "Add new task" button in that same header. It's probably something that should be submitted to the flyspray bugtracker, but perhaps nobody's figured out how ;) > how can I be sure if my problem is a bug ? If it used to work, and now it doesn't, it's probably a bug. Of course, if the devs post something obvious (like the kernel series a while ago that couldn't decide between sda and hda,) it's not a bug. If it hasn't worked, and should, it's a bug. If you don't know, open a bug, and one of the devs will close it if it's not relevent, and inform you why.

For now, I'll have to settle with just using ArchLinux on the PowerPC instead of helping the project.

Zac From n4rc0s at gmail.com Tue Aug 28 16:31:37 2007 From: n4rc0s at gmail.com (Markus Wolf) Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:31:37 +0200 Subject: [arch-ports] [ppc]no sound after kernel upgrade Message-ID: Hi folks, About a couple of weeks ago, after a kernel upgrade (everything smooth as usual) the sound card of my 12" iBook stopped working. This sort of things happens sometimes, eheh everybody makes mistakes right? So I thought the issue would be resolved gracefully (i.e. with no complaints at all) within a few days with a new upgrade. But after two more upgrades, as of kernel 2.6.22 I can still hear no sound at all... I think the soundcard works, because I can hear the apple chord when I turn the machine on. alsaconf seems to recognize it properly but alsamixer tells me "No mixer elems found" and my /etc/asound.state reads like this: state.SoundByLayout { control { } } somewhat weird, isn't it? Furthermore lspci shows no trace of an audio card and dmesg informs me that module snd-powermac is no longer the right one, and that I should use snd-aoa, of which alsaconf seems to know nothing about... Nobody in the list has complained about this so far, either: (a) I do upgrade way too often, (b) something is wrong with my machine and I don't know what it is (c) both :( Any clues?
