Just leave it as it is. Torsten

reformat ext2 to hfs
by Serge Paulus 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hi Is there a quick way to reformat an ext2 partition to hfs to give access to MacOS? To make it more difficult ;-) the partition contains Suse 7 and is located on hda9 (last partition). The MacOS 9.1 startupvolume is on the same disk. I want to get access from MacOS without reformatting the complete hd with "Laufwerke konfigurieren". I already tried with pdisk, but neither MacOS nor Linux seems to be impressed of the canges I made. I deleted hda9, so theoretically, Linux should be gone, but it still starts without problems... thanx in advance Serge

KDE2.2.1 installation problem
by Herouth Maoz 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hi. I'm trying to install KDE 2.1.1 from the packages in ftp.suse.com, including the various development RPMs. I do this with rpm from the command line, not giving up on dependencies, because I found out that it's a bad habit to give them up... Anyways, when attempting to install kdebase-devel, it complains that it depends on alsadev. Nice going, but where do I find alsadev? Not on the original CDs, not on the Suse ftp server, not on rpmfind.net. Can anybody point me in the right direction? My SuSE is PPC/7.0. TIA, Herouth -- EMAIL: herouth(a)netvision.net.il HOME PAGE: http://www.herouth.f2s.com/

new iMacs
by jjboor 07 May '01

07 May '01

Hi, I just bought Suse Linux 7.1 PowerPC Edition and read in the manual my Mac is not supported because of new firmware. (I have a february 2001 iMac) (on the box it is stated it *might* not be supported) Does somebody know what this means? Will it not work at all or will it work most of the time but you can't get support if something is not working. If it will not work at all, will it be supported soon (and how, can I get a new first Suse CD to boot with a new kernel or something?) many thanks, Jaap-Jan

Hello listers, Anybody has succeeded with the subj ? How realistic is this combo in terms of serving me no vice versa? I tried to get OpenBSD running it, but it was too much of a grief. Thanks for any pointers. -- Best regards, Yuri mailto:yuri_ko@mac.com <----------------------------------72---------------------------------->

Re: Pismo and SUSE 7.1

Then try again X. If needed use sax2 again for color etc. ... Arghh... that screwed up my X-config. 'sax2 -af' obviously works for some Pismos. But not for mine! I had a fresh installation. I didn't tamper with anything before. The XF86Config didn't work. /var/log/XFree86.0.log says: Almost all modelines deleted (hsync or vrefresh out of range), Tried default mode "640x480": 36.0 MHz, 43.3 kHz, 85.0 Hz X started but was shifted out of the left edge and had a horizontal bar (approx. 15 Pixel high) at the bottom third of the screen. I'm no expert on XFree86. So I was stuck. It took me some time to figure out how to go back to XFree86 Ver. 3: root: # switch2xf86-3x root: # ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_FBDev /var/X11R6/bin/X It took me sufficiently more time to get a working XF86config for V4. The publicly available XF85config files didn't work. I used some tips on http://www.pro-linux.de/t_system/yellowdog.html If someone at SuSE wants to delve into this, I can send you my logfiles, serial number etc. If anyone is experiencing the same problem, I can send my XF86Config. > >> *How do you stop the damn trackpad from acting as a mouse button? >> The slightest press of the trackpad opens and closes windows and >> it's very annoying.

speaker buzzing and KDE upgrade
by Joss Winn 28 Apr '01

28 Apr '01

hello, Well, I can't seem to find out why my speaker and volume channels are buzzing but it certainly started just after an upgrade to KDE 2.1.1. I have noticed that if i change virtual desktops, and the contrast of the screen changes, then the buzzing changes pitch, too. if anyone has any ideas as to what is going on, I'd be very grateful. I have a Summer 2000 iMac DV SE. and 7.1PPC Thank you Joss -- http://www.josswinn.org/humour.html

by Shawn Gordon 26 Apr '01

I've only managed to get this boot thing working partially despite my best efforts. If anyone is running SuSE 7.1 on a TiBook with dual booting, could you please share your yaboot.conf and lilo.conf with this poor soul? Regards, Shawn Gordon President theKompany.com www.thekompany.com 949-713-3276
