[opensuse-ppc] Sleep LED misused on 10.2 (iBook G3)
by Karl Eichwalder 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

The iBook G3 come with a white LED that's active if the device sleeps. On 10.2 during installation you seem to misuse it to signal hard disk activity. How can I disable it? -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH GPG: 1024D/06EB882E B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

[opensuse-ppc] Unable to install Open Suse Alpha 3 ppc on JS20
by Jerone Young 14 May '07

14 May '07

This appears that it would be something that would effect all PPC systems trying to install any of the Open Suse Alpha releases. Once you are at the part in the installer where you do the partitioning of the disk, set what sotware you want to install, and what not. Once you want to progress in the install you are prompted with a message saying there is an Error that neededs to be resolved. This is using the ncurses installer as I have to install via a serial port. The problem is there are no errors anywhere on the screen for you to fix. So when back through every option redid some, and even set some to the predefined defaults to attempt to get past this error .. no luck. Currently I am totally unable to install it on my JS20 blade .... anybody have any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] [opensuse] Problems with Video on Powerboox G4 17"
by Chuck Payne 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hi, I had problem upgrading from 10.1 to 10.2. When every I booted from the install disc, I got message up video output. I got it upgrade using the text only but Xorg/X11 starts, the video look to be 640x800 but if you run SaX2 to change it says that it 1400x900. I saw there is an issue on the website with video on the Power TII, but is there a fix? So I wait for 10.3 drop back to 10.1 for now?

[opensuse-ppc] Unable to boot setup CD on IBM JS20 Blade
by Jerone Young 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Has anyone tried booting the Open Suse Alpha CD on an IBM Power PC JS20 Blade system. It appears that is does not work using the default firmware (Global Firmware) included with IBM systems. Here is what happens: 0 > boot cdrom 0 > boot cdrom - Elapsed time since release of system processors: 1 mins 47 secs E105 Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Request exceed total sectors Config file read, 1024 bytes Welcome Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.13 (Red Hat 1.3.13-4.fc7) Enter "help" to get some basic usage information Default supplied on the command line: :1,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm boot: :1,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm Please wait, loading kernel... can't get <device_type> for device: :1,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm: Unable to open file, Invalid device boot: It Fails then loads the yaboot that is on disk (which is Fedora). Though notice the command line error. Now using SLOF firmware (which is unsupported). It does work and boots fine. But using Global firmware which comes with IBM Power systems, I am unable to boot the CD. Any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org
