Has anyone had luck getting sound working either with arts or alsa on PPC64? I have a dual 1.8ghz g5 that I've currently using running FC4. Here are the issues that I currently have. If anyone has any suggestions to help me to get this working properly, I'd greatly appreciate it. 1) No sound - I've read some things on yellow-dog linux 4.0 and fedora ppc stuff that talks about snd-powermac. I've looked for this in /lib/modules and don't see it available, even though when I look in the kernel config in /usr/src/kernels/ I see them checked as modules. I've tried going in there and doing a "make modules_install", which returns very quckly. 2) No way to run citrix java client since I get https errors in my java console from konqueror with java: set to /usr/bin/java - I've read a lot about java on ppc and it seems that I'm outta luck here... so for now, I will use a vncsession to an x86 machine to read my lotus notes stuff. 3) yum update seems to have issues resolving dependencies - It seems that either packages are missing (unavailable) or the rpm needs something from gcc-ppc32 as a dependency. I'm using only the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo <tt>Importing Additional filelist information for dependency resolution --> Processing Dependency: gcc = 4.0.0-0.40 for package: gcc-ppc32 --> Processing Conflict: python-devel conflicts python < 2.4.1-1 --> Processing Dependency: gcc = 4.0.0-0.40 for package: gcc-java --> Processing Dependency: gcc = 4.0.0-0.40 for package: gcc-c++ --> Processing Dependency: gcc = 4.0.0-0.40 for package: gcc-gfortran --> Processing Conflict: glibc-common conflicts glibc < 2.3.5 --> Processing Dependency: system-config-printer = 0.6.128-1 for package: system-config-printer-gui --> Processing Conflict: glibc-common conflicts glibc > 2.3.4 --> Processing Conflict: gnome-session conflicts gdm < 1:2.6.0.8-5 --> Processing Dependency: libdbi-drivers = 0.7.1-2 for package: libdbi-dbd-mysql --> Processing Dependency: libstdc++-devel = 4.0.0-0.40 for package: gcc-c++ --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
