[03:13] <mxpxpod> BenC: ping
[03:37] <BenC> mxpxpod: pong
[03:37] <mxpxpod> BenC: are you running ppc?
[03:39] <mxpxpod> BenC: because with the latest kernel (2.6.15-13), I get no sound card on my ibook g4
[04:45] <BenC> mxpxpod: ls -l /proc/asound/
[04:45] <BenC> and yes, I am using a pb G4
[04:46] <BenC> redid a lot of the ppc sound stuff trying to make things work better, but it's untested on anything but toonie
[04:48] <mxpxpod> BenC: I'm not currently in that kernel because I couldn't log into Gnome because of the sound issue
[04:49] <mxpxpod> BenC: but /etc/init.d/alsa-utils fails to start because it can't find the sound card
[04:51] <BenC> no sound prevented gnome from working?
[04:53] <mxpxpod> that's what I'm figuring... I could be wrong
[04:53] <mxpxpod> but when gnome tries to log in, gconf and gnome-keyring manager load, and that's it
[04:58] <mxpxpod> BenC: also, when my ibook sleeps with the new kernel, it panics
[05:00] <mxpxpod> BenC: I've gotta get going
[05:01] <mxpxpod> BenC: but hopefully I can get a bug report up on malone tomorrow or monday
[03:08] <gok> hi !

[05:04] <mxpxpod> BenC: ping
[05:05] <BenC> pong
[05:05] <mxpxpod> BenC: ok, I'm in the latest kernel... do you want to debug this soundcard issue?
[05:06] <BenC> ls -l /proc/asound
[05:06] <mxpxpod> want me to paste it here?
[05:06] <BenC> sure

[05:07] <BenC> this is an ibook?
[05:07] <mxpxpod> ibook g4
[05:07] <BenC> I get an entry like this:

[05:08] <mxpxpod> it's like it doesn't see the snapper
[05:09] <BenC> so you know it's snapper?
[05:09] <mxpxpod> yeah
[05:09] <BenC> actually, it's doing soemthing because snd_powermac has a ref count of 1
[05:09] <BenC> so something is using it
[05:09] <mxpxpod> is there a way to figure out what?
[05:09] <BenC> do you have headphones?
[05:10] <mxpxpod> yes
[05:10] <BenC> try plugging them in, then unplugging them
[05:10] <mxpxpod> BenC: ok, now what?
[05:10] <BenC> does sound work now?
[05:11] <mxpxpod> nope
[05:13] <BenC> Can you send the output of amixer to http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/?
[05:13] <mxpxpod> it's one line
[05:13] <mxpxpod> amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
[05:13] <BenC> hrmm
[05:13] <BenC> can you send the output of dmesg to pastebin?
[05:14] <mxpxpod> yeah
[05:16] <mxpxpod> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7485
[05:16] <mxpxpod> there's an oops in there
[05:17] <BenC> I think I just found out the problem via another bug report
[05:17] <mxpxpod> oh?
[05:17] <BenC> hold a sec...
[05:17] <mxpxpod> ok
[05:18] <BenC> find /proc/device-tree -name layout-id
[05:18] <BenC> then do :
[05:18] <BenC> cat <file from above> | od -t x
[05:19] <mxpxpod> it didn't give me a file from the find
[05:19] <BenC> hmm, weird
[05:19] <BenC> find /proc/device-tree | grep layout-id
[05:20] <mxpxpod> nope
[05:21] <BenC> rgrep snapper /proc/device-tree
[05:21] <mxpxpod> Binary file /proc/device-tree/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/i2s@10000/i2s-a@10000/sound/compatible matches
[05:22] <BenC> ok
[05:22] <BenC> yes, thanks for taking them time :)
[05:22] <mxpxpod> no prob... any way I can help
[05:22] <BenC> give me a minute to read the dmesg
[05:26] <BenC> stupid me
[05:26] <BenC> I already have this fixed :)
[05:26] <mxpxpod> oh?
[05:26] <BenC> how long will you be around?
[05:26] <BenC> I can give you a kernel to test
[05:26] <mxpxpod> it'll take me forever to download
[05:26] <mxpxpod> if you email me a link, I can download and test it tomorrow
[05:27] <BenC> email me at bcollins@ubuntu.com, and I'll reply back with a link
[05:27] <mxpxpod> awesome
[05:27] <BenC> ppc sound is in real transistion, but it's going to be better in the end
[05:28] <BenC> but it'll be better in the end when I'm done ;)
[05:28] <mxpxpod> sweeet
[05:28] <BenC> too little coffee
[05:29] <mxpxpod> :)
[05:29] <mxpxpod> BenC: what kind of changes are you making?
[05:30] <BenC> well, BenH did some new interfaces to access the ppc gpio's, and I'm switching the sound drivers to use them
[05:30] <BenC> the old way used some real hacks, the platform function interface is the "macos" way, and should work better
[05:30] <mxpxpod> awesome
[05:30] <BenC> I had to use it to get sound working right on my 17" PB
[05:31] <mxpxpod> ok, I sent you an email
[05:31] <BenC> great, thanks
[05:32] <mxpxpod> like I said, I'll grab it tomorrow... hopefully that's soon enough :)
[05:34] <mxpxpod> BenC: thanks again
[05:35] <BenC> np
[05:35] <mxpxpod> BenC: by the way, do you have your ae working?
[05:35] <BenC> ae?
[05:35] <mxpxpod> airport extreme
[05:35] <BenC> oh, yeah, been using it for some weeks now
[05:36] <mxpxpod> I can't get mine to work at all
[05:36] <BenC> bcm43xx driver, you'll need to extract firmware using fwcutter (bcm43xx.berlios.de), and put it in /lib/firmware/
[05:36] <mxpxpod> oh, I've done all that
[05:36] <BenC> you have to set the rate to 11M, or it wont work
[05:36] <BenC> highest I've gotten to work is 36M
[05:37] <BenC> but 11M is stable
[05:37] <mxpxpod> BenC: does dhcp work with it?
[05:37] <BenC>         pre-up iwconfig eth0 rate 11M
[05:37] <BenC>         pre-up ifconfig eth0 up
[05:37] <BenC>         pre-up sleep 2
[05:37] <BenC>         pre-up iwconfig eth0 rate 11M
[05:37] <BenC> I added that to /etc/network/interfaces for my card
[05:37] <BenC> yeah
[05:38] <BenC> I use dhcp, so it's all working well (just no wireless stats)
[05:38] <mxpxpod> ah
[05:38] <BenC> as far as I'm concerned, when it works at 54M and wireless stats are implemented, it will be 100% ready for wide use
[05:38] <mxpxpod> :)
[05:38] <mxpxpod> I'll try to figure it out sometime this afternoon
[05:39] <mxpxpod> BenC: where do you have the pre-up stuff? underneath iface eth0 inet dhcp?
[05:43] <BenC> yeah
[05:43] <mxpxpod> BenC: also, do you use network-manager with it?
[05:43] <BenC> no
[05:43] <mxpxpod> how about wep?
[05:44] <BenC> yeah, I use a wep key
[05:44] <BenC> wireless-essid FOO
[05:44] <BenC> wireless-key BLAHBLAH
[05:45] <mxpxpod> I'm trying to figure out how to format my wep key
[05:45] <BenC> I just put the hex
[05:45] <mxpxpod> with no :'s or -'s?
[05:45] <BenC> yeah
[05:45] <BenC> no 0x either
[05:45] <mxpxpod> right
[05:46] <mxpxpod> hrmmm
[05:46] <BenC> then "sudo ifup eth0"
[05:46] <mxpxpod> she's not wanting to get an ip
[05:46] <BenC> ^C and try again
[05:47] <BenC> it's a little quirky, also check to make sure it's at 11M (iwconfig eth0"
[05:47] <BenC> )
[05:47] <BenC> I also have wireless-rate 11M in the file
[05:47] <BenC> you have to really convince it to go to 11M :)
[05:47] <mxpxpod> heh
[05:48] <mxpxpod> whoa!!!!
[05:48] <mxpxpod> whoa!!!!
[05:49] <mxpxpod> brb
[05:51] <BenC> heh, that didn't look good :)
[05:54] <BenC> working for you now?
[05:54] <bryanf> BenC: sweet
[05:55] <bryanf> BenC: btw, this is mxpxpod
[05:55] <BenC> yeah, I recognize the name from the email :)
[05:55] <mxpxpod> BenC: yeah, that's cool
[05:56] <mxpxpod> BenC: thanks for the help
[05:56] <mxpxpod> now, if I could just get it so that my wife can use it without using the cmd line :)
[05:57] <BenC> mine is auto up now, and it works well
[05:57] <mxpxpod> cool
[05:57] <mxpxpod> I gotta go
[05:57] <mxpxpod> my wife wants to attack me ;)
[05:57] <BenC> later
[05:57] <mxpxpod> thanks again for the help
