[22:16] <lubuntu_newbie> hey all, just cant seem to get any dam sound on my powermac g5 7,2..and i think the sound hardware might be "snapper"
[22:17] <wxl> lubuntu_newbie: ppc's are always fun
[22:17] <wxl> almost no os is eary on them :)
[22:17] <wxl> easy sorry
[22:17] <wxl> however you should check out the ppc faq
[22:17] <wxl> wonder if we've got it linked
[22:17] <wxl> !ppc
[22:17] <ubottu> PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[22:17] <wxl> there ya go
[22:17] <wxl> that's a treasure trove of info
[22:19] <lubuntu_newbie> i think ive been there, i'll go back.  i was just hopping some one knew the answer straight up.  I have he 970 g5 which i think i 64 bit, so its an even smaller platform than the wider g3-g4 lines
[22:19] <wxl> you will find that when it comes to people using ppcs, you have a very small number of peers
[22:20] <wxl> i have absolutely no experience with that particular machine and often the devil's in the details
[23:05] <lubuntu_newbie> thanks for the help i am reading up on alsamixer and the conf files...bunch fo stuff is blacklisted by the isntaller under the assumption that its the wrong snd driver and will cause shit if two or more are loaded...there are also snd drivers floating aroudn i can apt-get that might work too. will take more playing around but if i have command line questions i'll be back
[23:05] <lubuntu_newbie> thats for the help so far
[23:06] <wxl> lubuntu_newbie: no prob. good luck!
[23:06] <lubuntu_newbie> it may turn out that there just no sound driver for this mac, it was a thinnly produced monster DP G5
[23:07] <wxl> there probably is
[23:07] <wxl> you'd be surprised :)
[23:07] <wxl> it's just that for some things you have to go through quite an effort to get things to work
[23:07] <wxl> my powerbook has the curse of the nvidia chip
