Any ideas on how to make this work? I'm fine with wired LANs (at home network level, anyway) but have never delved into wireless before.
I dont know anything about wireless either. Mayb you ask on the suse-linux-e list, there is nothing arch specific about wireless.
Second, the iBook won't make any sound in KDE. The hardware is fine - I get the Apple chord when the machine first boots, but nothing thereafter. Once more - any ideas about this one?
run insserv -r alsasound and load dmasound_pmac in boot.local. I havent looked at this one, yet. It broke after kernel 2.6.9 or 2.6.10 for these models.
Third, the iBook won't suspend. If I select "Suspend to disk" from the KPowersave icon in the system tray, I get an error message:
The kernel version "vmlinuz" in /boot does not match the running kernel version "2.6.13-15-default". Resuming with this kernel will not work. If you know what you are doing, you can override this in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep with the variable SUSPEND2DISK_IGNORE_KERNEL_MISMATCH=yes
What's the best way to fix this and allow the machine to enter suspend mode (I do, BTW, have the resume option in lilo set to my swap partition, following the advice in the PPC pages on the website).
I think we have fixed that part. But its safe to set SUSPEND2DISK_IGNORE_KERNEL_MISMATCH to yes. I'm sure the kernel does enough checks to make sure the resume image matches the running kernel.
Finally, I understand that there is no official Macromedia Flash player for PPC linux. However, I've heard of a few open-source ones. Can anyone make a recommendation? Basically, I want my son to be able to use the Flash games on the BBC website, so sound and interactivity are a must if he's to be able to use the iBook.
There is a gplflash website at sourceforge.net. The plugin doesnt seem to work with our novell website and mozilla at least. Maybe you need the cvs version. -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
