Debian Hardware :: Strange Colors Appearing On PowerMac G5 With KDE
Dec 28, 2015
I have sucessfully installed Debian 8 stable onto a powermac G5 with and Nvidia FX5200 graphics card, and got the graphics up and running using the nouveau.modeset=0 kernel parameter. However, now the screen is showing completely messed up graphics. The kernel parameters that I have set are: nouveau.modeset=0 and video=TV-1:d.
I've now tried other Desktop environments and they too are messed up. Even window maker is messed up.

About an hour ago I completed the Network upgrade to Maverick from Lucid. Immediately I see some changes over Lucid: my computer can now hibernate successfully, a feature that worked in Hardy, but was broken in Karmic and Lucid. But a small annoyance is the strange colors. There is an abundance of purple colors in icons, in links, in indicators. I have attached a small snapshot of my browser. The circled purple area should be blue in normal contions.

I upgraded to Ubuntu to 11.04, but when I now open firefox and go to localhost, some PNG images have really strange colors. This is not the case when I display the webpage in Google Chrome. I'm not sure if I will have similar problems with all PNG's, but I wouldn't be surprised. For instance, a random PNG in Firefox 4:
And the same image in Chrome: What could be the problem? How do I solve this? This only seems to hapen with alpha transparent images!

I did a partial update and since then the Folders (Nautilus) is looking weird without many colors reminding of Windows 98/95.

Okay so I've been trying to get my Powermac G5 running Debian. I thought it would be an interesting project and see what I can do with the PowerPC hardware. The problem, of course, is the sound. Since this a G5 it's one of the newer machines so I looked up the drivers for the sound card which is labeled "K2 KeyLargo Mac/IO" and found that I needed a combination of snd_aoa, snd_aoa_i2sbus, snd_aoa_soundbus_i2c, snd_aoa_fabric_layout, snd_aoa_soundbus, snd_aoa_codec_tas, snd_aoa_codec_onyx, and snd_aoa_tonnie (also many of the resources had both - and _ for these names mix matched and I would love to know if that makes a difference or not and what the proper names for these are because I've tried them both with the - and _ to make sure but, I think I'm missing something. I'm not good with sound).

I have recently tried to install Debian 6 on a PowerMac G5 that we had lying around. The system installs fine and will boot to a command line, but when the installation was complete and X tried to start (using the default configuration--which I believe specified the 'nouveau' driver) the screen went completely blank and no amount of button-pushing could get me back to even a tty. I did here the standard noise that gdm3 makes when the login window is ready, so this is solely a display issue. Plus, [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F1] followed by [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Delete] did reboot cleanly so the system didn't hang. I booted from the CD into recovery mode and switched the default X driver to vesa (I had to install it), which, I understand, is supposed to work for everyone. However, nothing worked! I did get one step better: the vesa driver brought me back to the terminal when it crashed, instead of the nouveau's bad habit of stopping the display from working completely. I haven't got the full log files because it would be a pain to mail them to a computer with a working web browser (although I will if needed), but I did see the following messages in the output:
(II) VESA(0): initializing int10
( followed by a backtrace )
Bus error at address 0xf79fd000
Fatal server error: Caught signal 7 (Bus error). Server aborting

I tried to install Debian 7 on a PowerMac G4, but when I try to start X, the screen simply goes blank and nothing happens. My GPU is a Radeon 7500 RV200. I tried using nomodeset and setting the resolution manually, but the same thing always happens: the screen just goes blank.

Why htop's bars have different colors? Still can't find an answer... And it's bars don't really correspond to the numbers. Even if CPU is loaded 60%, the bar can be loaded almost 100%.

I recently purchased a laptop from zareason. Seems great, only I've been struggling with getting the wireless to work. I feel like I'm awfully close.
Note: I'm running Lenny.
I downloaded what I thought was the driver for the card. The card info is:
Intel
Model 533AN_MMW
Intel WiFi Link 5300
MAC 00216A72EE22
TA: E50434804
I've successfully install wicd, but it doesn't detect any wireless network. Other computers seem to register the wireless network in my apartment.

Trying again here.. no-one on reddit seems to respond..It initially happened here (it was deleted, you can try the lower links.) Sometimes one, sometimes both of these links gets me to 'attack sites', it starts with both, then to one, and then neither does it. I am on Debian Lenny, Both Iceweasel 3.0.6-3(firefox), epiphany2.22.3-9, elinks0.11.4-3 and firefox 3.6.3 sometimes do this for me. It doesn't seem to happen if you enter it into the adress bar, but it does when you follow it by clicking.[URL]..Someone else reported it too, from XP w/ Firefox. The adress bar tells me it is subreddits.org the but the screen doesn't. (Worry my computer is compromised..)
Links it send me too, something on 89.248.174.24, orcug.com, thindx46td.xorg.pl and a whole range of varying other sites. http://i.imgur.com/d7ZGv.png So can you reproduce/any idea what this could be? I do worry about having some malware on firefox and such, also besides this, but as i said, it happens with other browsers. I have add-on flashblock, noscript, redditreveal, socialite, trackmenot, had tree style tab until i found it wasn't usefull enough. I also noticed that control+k gets me to bol.com (wtf is up with that??), and there was the random site you get to when you misclick.(Which i was able to disable.) I am gradually getting more and more pissed off and suspicious about firefox. (as on my computer.)
Firefox also seems start reading/writing from disk suddenly. (I use iotop when i think it shouldn't be writing sometimes.) Perhaps i should try set something up to record what writes to disk.

Anyone know what the 'ls' command means when it outputs the file name in red on black, with the permissions, owner, etc. all missing? The 'man' page was of no help. In the example below, from a DVD ROM, the third file was OK and I could read it. The first two could not be read, even as root.

Also the "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated..." script in which the backtrace occours also hangs and hasto be Control-C'd, or you have to wait for it to time out. Attached is my syslog

I decided to install Debian on my Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio). Everything worked, but the default GeForce 2 only worked at 1024x768 at few colors. Is there any way to fix this?

Towards end of installation the grub install ran detected windows xp presence and I continued with the install. End of install, prompted that the system would reboot.
However on reboot, I wasnt presented when boot option ( windows xp vs debian) but my windows xp directly got booted. How to get this boot option.

First impressions I really like Debian, been running a server with it for a while and just last week switched to it on my main workstation.
I have only had one problem with video. I have a Geforce 210 with 1gb (1024x768 resolution) of ram and the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed from a repo. Thing is, in all video whether flash in my browser or movies in vlc, mpv, and mplayer, I have these weird overlays that scan over the video, especially in scenes where the camera zooms in, long distance shots seem unaffected.
Also, almost every video I start whether flash or movie file, I get a flash of a green bar at the bottom of the screen very quickly and barley noticeable.
Now I know thats a rough description so I attached two screen shots (link at bottom of post), the affected area is circled in red on one, also I have attached a png of a similar image that may be more enlightening.
Notice the quality of the second screen shot, especially around Will Ferrell's head, and the greenish yellow line leading down his shoulder and arm. The general quality seems terrible. The film is in 720p and looks great in Mac.
I had the proprietary drivers installed in Slackware 14.1 and Mac OS 10.10.5(Nvidia Web Drivers) on this system, with this card and did not have this problem.
I'm in gnome latest version.
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
Subsystem: Device 196e:082e
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
Subsystem: Device 196e:082e
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

Switched Nouveau same result....

After a reboot the mouse pointer suddenly started to act very strange...For example horizontal movements move the pointer verically and moving it to the left also scolls down... left click and right click still works, but not the scroll wheel.I have not done any changes related to X (X11R7).The mouse is a wireless usb logitech mouse, with this "nano reciever"-thing. It has worked without any configuration before.I have not tested any other mouse as this is my only one. I will try to get another mouse for testing

After I've installed nvidia-vdpau-driver 280.13-1 from debian testing repositories, all the colors on the screen became too bright, except dark colors.
I've tried to change the values from Brightness, Contrast and Gamma, in NVIDIA X Server Settings -> X Server Color Correction, but it doesn't bring everything back to normal.
Either the nvidia driver has problems, or I don't know how to calibrate. But before I installed nvidia-vdpau-driver, I had the nouveau display driver (experimental), and all colors were displayed normally, the same as in Windows 7 and XP.

I was installing some packages yesterday, I think one of them was an update for grub. (I'm using grub 2). When I rebooted, the console text was in green, not the usual white. (using gfxpayload=800x600 i.e. console is in graphics mode). I first thought maybe it was some kind of St. Patrick's day joke, but now I am getting tired of it. How do I set the color scheme back to normal?

every now and then there appear ugly artefacts on my screen. Until yesterday it happened every five to ten minutes; now it happens every few seconds. It is no fun to work with such a system, it is extremely annoying... The artefacts remember me on the artefacts you had 20 years ago when you overwrote an analog VHS-cassette a hundred times, except that the screen looks perfect between the moments the ugly artefacts are present. My notebook is a cheap Acer Extensa 5230E, exact specifications is being made public by my vendor: [URL]
user@host:~$ uname -r
2.6.32-trunk-686
(the same problem with the old kernel 2.6.30)
Here is some /var/log/messages output that might be useful:

I recently installed Debian 8 with the Xfce Desktop Environment, which uses the Lightdm gtk greeter as its login manager. My login screen at the moment looks something like this: [URL] ..... In particular, I still have the "grey person" as the default user avatar.
I have been unsuccessfully attempting to change my personal login avatar, following the advice on the Arch Linux wiki: [URL] .... I began by naming my desired avatar .face and saving it in my home directory. That didn't work, but I was not discouraged because the wiki mentioned that there were issues with the ".icon method". So I then installed accountservice, created a directory for my user, and saved my desired avatar as a 96x96 PNG named username.png in the appropriate directory (making sure that it had the necessary permissions, of course). That didn't work either...

URl...how wide are the spaces between these entries. A quick research shows that this affects only certain apps such as gnome-terminal or Anjuta, but doesn't affect for example Synaptic - my first thought was that it's related to these using GTK3, but now I can see it's not that. This is not theme-related as it appears no matter what theme I choose. No results by googling.

I have just installed squeeze 6.0.2 amd64 and noticed when I use k3b to burn/verify a disc, when it has finished burning the media it plays a sound, and rather sound is played which sounds very crackly/muffled.I do not remember this on ubuntu, and I cannot say for sure but I dont recall this happening on squeeze 6.0.1.
Sound plays perfectly in all other applications, no problems whatsoever.This is not a big deal, I just dont remember this happening. I know this isnt the most detailed posting but does anyone have any idea what this could be? I even tried to reinstall k3b through synaptics and the problem still persists.
