was just wondering - mine goes out after the system starts loading - flashes
before that

when it had hp-ux on it, it stayed on

another question...

is it possible to hook the power button to the shutdown command like it is
in hp-ux ?

Thanks

The LED and the powerswitch work as expected on my 712/80 at least since
the 0.9.3 ISO timeframe. I remember the LED was not working at some point
in the past, though,

It depends.
I know the power button works correctly on my c3000 and 715/64. Both
systems shuts down the computer cleanly.
But on another Apollo/50 machine (712/50 or 715/50 - I don't remember) 
pressing the power-button turns off the machine immediately. This is a bug
and should be fixed if possible.

The 715/50 Apollo has a hard wired power button, and a full array
of leds on the front to indicate power/heartbeat/rx-tx/disk access.

My 712/60 definatley has a soft button (since I routinely pull
the rear power plug when my "tinkering" causes a kernel crash), 
and the led stays on after booting.

Re: [parisc-linux] Power LED

[Christoph Plattner]

On the Apollo machine (720/50, 730, etc) the Power-Switch is NOT 
under software control. The switch is simple a "shortcut to ground"
and is a direct input line of the power supply unit (I know this,
because I have troubles with my power supply and studied the electrical
wirering, etc.).

On E55 I also think, that the switch is controlling the power supply
also, as I can switch off at any moment in Linux and HP-UX.

In the 712, the switch is definitly under software control, as the
software can simple ignore it ... and much more...

[parisc-linux] MySQL Server

[Tilo Jandt]

Hi,

I've got a problem whe installing the MySQL-server.
Last time when I updated my system with apt-get the MySQL Server should also
be updated but after downloading the File, extracting and preconfigurating
the update proces stopped after "Stopping Mysql-server".
I waited 2 hours but nothing happend. The MySQL couldn't be started and if I
remove the new mysql-server and install the old one with dpkg the same
procedure happens.
Every time after the preconfiguration the install hangs.

I don't know what to do. I cleaned up my system and wan't to new install
MySQL, but everytime the same procedure. Does anyone solved this problem or
does anyone have any idea?

Thanx,
Tilo

Re: [parisc-linux] MySQL Server

In case you have libc6-2.2.5 installed you might try
to downgrade to libc6-2.2.4-7 again. 
Could be worth a try...

the MySQL server never worked for me. With the old libc6, one thread keeps
looping (100% CPU time) and with the new one it simply hangs.

[parisc-linux] Sound

[Tilo Jandt]

Hi,

does anyone get the Sound on a 712/60 work?
Is it possible to play MP3's using XMMS on this system or is it to hard for
it?
Or doesn't Debian support this soundcard at this time ?

cya,
Tilo

playing mp3s on my 712/60 works fine with xmms and mpg123, the cpu is
powerful enough to handle mp3 decoding.

Yes, no.

Yes. You need the harmony driver, which was recently added to defconfig and 
should be in recent pre-build kernels ftp site and kernel-image packages in 
the Debian archive.

You need to enable CONFIG_SOUND_HARMONY in the kernel config when you build a 
kernel. If you're using a prebuilt kernel from the ftp site the tarball 
contains the config file it was built with. If you are using

ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/32/32-2.4.17-pa27.tar.gz

that kernel contains the harmony driver and it should just work. I've used 
xmms and mpg321 and they work great.

Good luck,

I was testing a fresh install with 2.4.17-pa23 kernel last night on 712.
When I hit the power button it did a orderly shutdown and then powered
off.  Very nice.

We had the same problem here, and we solved it as follow:

When in Boot Admin, check the 'chassis' command.
We suppose that Chassis Codes must be turned 'on' so that the LED does 
not go out after booting.

Yes I use this Kernel.

> I've used xmms and mpg321 and they work great.
But if I start XMMS and wanna play an MP3 I get an Error Message:
Please check that:
1. You have the correct output plugin selected (use eSoundOutput Plugin or OSS Driver both don't work)
2. No other programs is blocking the soundcard ( I don't know if others use the soundcard but I don't know)
3. Your soundcard is configured properly (I don't know can I get Information whether the soundcard is configured right or not?)

This is more of a general audio question at this point. You might want to test 
that the card is working by cat'ing a .au file to /dev/audio. Also, try the 
oss and esound plugins.

Good luck,

I did so an I can hear the sound by cat'ing it to /dev/audio or /dev/dsp

> Also, try the oss and esound plugins.

I tried both an changed the preferences to /dev/audio nstead of /dev/dsp but it doesn't work at all.

Okay,

I found the problem. Because my "normal" user doesn't have permission to write to /dev/audio
now it works fine.
Thanks for all help.
