| 05:52.29 | c0rnel | deasy, X starts with driver "vesa" or "fbdev" but is ***very*** slow :) |
| 06:41.18 | simonlnu | they left :/ |
| 07:02.32 | c0rnel | indeed |
| 07:07.18 | c0rnel | well, window maker proves it's speed once again :) |

| 11:16.20 | ecloud | why does squeeze have only a few 64-bit libs while many libs seem to have only 32-bit versions? |
| 11:17.12 | fishandwalk | Is it possible to select the 64 bit version of the 'testing' iso? |
| 11:18.08 | ecloud | maybe, but not sure if I will re-install at this point |
| 11:18.29 | ecloud | http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/ says The PowerPC architecture allows both 64-bit and 32-bit implementations (the 64-bit implementation includes the 32-bit implementation). |
| 11:19.29 | ecloud | I'm trying to build qt and the first problem I ran into is that /usr/lib64/libGL.so doesn't exist, there is only /usr/lib/libGL, but the package doesn't say that it's 32-bit only |
| 11:19.59 | ecloud | libgl1-mesa-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 |
| 11:21.03 | ecloud | most distros that have gone 64-bit build everything that way and then packages which are still available in 32-bit are tagged in some way, or treated as a fallback only to support old binaries |
| 11:21.39 | ecloud | just wondered if I can actually get a full set of 64-bit packages without switching to a different version completely |
| 13:26.51 | p8m | With powerpc 32 vs 64bit is a different situation than with i386 vs amd64. amd64 is a new isa with more registers, ppc64 isn't. So the advantages of 64bit powerpc are smaller. |
| 13:33.28 | p8m | Debian has 64bit kernels but only provides a 64bit libc6, afaik |
| 13:34.25 | p8m | Is there a particular reason you need 64bit qt? |
| 14:15.38 | fishandwalk | Yes.. when running the statistical package R, all data has to be in memory. 32 bits limits the size of the data sets that can be processed. |
| 16:24.23 | p8m | R uses qt? |
| 16:24.54 | p8m | There is a debian ppc64 project. I don't know what state it's in but you can make a ppc64 chroot. |

| 21:50.56 | bekks | Hi |
| 21:51.26 | bekks | Someone please can clue me on how to crosscompile a kernel for ppc on a x86_64 box? |
| 23:33.18 | simonlnu | need a cross compiler, first |
| 23:33.32 | simonlnu | and cross-build tools like binutils |
| 23:33.41 | simonlnu | ...for the target arch |
| 23:33.55 | simonlnu | or, install a vm that's ppc |
