post . . . and started with running "lsmod" . . . looks like
"snd_aoa" is listed . . . as well as "airport" . . . does
that mean doing the "modprobe" items you mentioned would be
the next step? I'd prefer not to mess things up in the
pursuit of "fixing" them. And, reminder, this is a circa
'01?? iMac G4, not an iBook--if that would make any
difference. Is this now clearly part of the "hw-detect bug
thingie" . . . and the modprobe instructions below or in the
"iBook sound" thread would be OK to try?<br>

Hi!<br>
Whether or not this is a hw-detect thingie, I do not know... I
don't know enough about the internals of the Kernel, or how things
are updated to fully know one way or the other... I just think it is
related, since I (and many others) have had similar issues with
PPC. It is a 'hunch' or a guess....<br>
So it looks like you are missing some important modules (from what I
understand of PPC).<br>
In fact your iMac may even need to use snd-powermac rather than aoa
(since yours is 01)...<br>
<br>
You might first try<br>
sudo modprobe snd-powermac<br>
(there might be another module you need for the soundbus... I just
can't remember off the top of my head right now... sorry)<br>
and<br>
sudo rmmod snd-aoa-i2sbus<br>
sudo rmmod snd-aoa-soundbus<br>
<br>
rmmod removes kernel modules from the running system... it doesn't
make a permanent change.<br>
<br>
If snd-powermac works (i.e. you can open alsamixer) then you can
make that one permanent. If not, then, you may need to try
modprobing the ones I listed in the other e-mail.<br>
However... yours will probably need a different codec. In my e-mail
I used snd-aoa-codec-tas but you may need snd-aoa-codec-onyx or
snd-aoa-codec-toonie.<br>
I don't know enough about this stuff to tell you for certain which
one will work. The information about this stuff was quite hard to
find... and I didn't memorize which models needed which codecs... I
just remember the different codec names :)<br>
<br>
The great thing about GNU/Linux is that there is always a way to fix
the problem.<br>

Subject: Re: Lu 12.04 "Network Manager is not working"??
YT is not<br>
working either . . . .<br>
<br>
<br>
The No Sound issue, might be related to the migration
from snd-powermac<br>
to snd-aoa<br>
I am not sure why it would be happening in 12.04, though
the newer<br>
kernels may have introduced this behavior.<br>
<br>
It might also be why your wireless isn't working.<br>
<br>
Does your PPC have an 'airport' or is it b43?<br>
If it is airport, then it is most likely because of the
hw-detect bug<br>
that has plagued PPC this release.<br>
<br>
If you really want to test some things out I wrote an
e-mail a while<br>
back about my testing on an iBook.<br>

However, there are some models that simply do not work
without having to<br>
do some more extensive hacking around.<br>
<br>
Also, for the airport module you would need to try<br>
sudo modprobe airport<br>
and add airport into your /etc/modules<br>
and make sure it isn't blacklisted (like the sound
modules).<br>
<br>
If your computer uses b43 you will (most likely) need to
install<br>
b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer<br>
If you have another b43 driver installed it can cause an
issue with this</div>
