[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

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] X won't load on new install on G4 w/Rage 128
by AG S 29 Feb '08

"Your /etc/X11/xorg.conf has probably a BusID line. Remove that line and try again." Thank you Olaf, but unfortunately that didn't work either. I got exactly the same results as before. Do you have any more suggestions? Adam Well, I solved the problem by commenting out the following line in lilo.conf: append = " quiet sysrq=1 video=ofonly" Perhaps this was added by the installer as I had to type video=ofonly when I started the installer. Of course now I don't see anything on-screen until it boots into X. Definitely a bug of some sort. _________________________________________________________________ Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail®-get your "fix". http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx-----------------------------------… To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Bugs & Observations of a (Linux) Newbie Install
by AG S 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

I thought I would help out by listing a few bugs on my recent install on a Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio) with a Rage 128. 1. The default color depth was set at 15 bits which seems odd. I changed it to 16 bits successfully during the install. 2. No command line editor is installed by default. During my problems with not being able to boot into X (see my other thread), I successfully installed nano using zypper, but that isn't a good situation when X not launching is a common occurrence. 3. The openSUSE updater has an error installing the 4492-0 patch. It crashes and restarts upon accepting the install. The other couple of updates were fine. Since it does this, it keeps trying to install it to no avail (and continually reminds you of this on the desktop). 4. During the install when it updates the packages in the second stage, there is an error related to the two pango packages. Here is the error on the 64-bit version (not quite sure why that one is installed by default) when doing the update after the install (same problem though): Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.3011: line 2: usr/bin/pango-querymodules-64: cannot execute binary file error: %post(pango-64bit-1.18.2-4.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status 126 --- /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.76148: line 2: usr/bin/pango-querymodules-64: cannot execute binary file error: %post(pango-64bit-1.18.2-4.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status 126 2008-02-26 11:05:33 pango-1.18.2-4.ppc.rpm installed ok 2008-02-26 11:07:53 pango-1.18.2-4.ppc.rpm installed ok 2008-02-26 11:07:55 pango-64bit-1.18.2-4.ppc.rpm install failed rpm output: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.3011: line 2: usr/bin/pango-querymodules-64: cannot execute binary file error: %post(pango-64bit-1.18.2-4.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status 126 5. Perhaps dri should have been enabled by default as per this link: http://en.opensuse.org/PowerPC_X11_configuration On a side note, I did in fact get dri working as indicated in glxinfo and the fact that system info says 3D support! Lastly, I also installed ubuntu when I had all of the problems with X. I have to say that openSUSE KDE on first blush blows that thing away. Keep up the good work--it is really appreciated.

[opensuse-ppc] X won't load on new install on G4 w/Rage 128
by AG S 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello, New install on PPC G4 Mac (Digital Audio) with a Rage 128 Pro 16MB video card; can't get X to load; looking at log file, it finds and identifies the gpu correctly, but gives the following errors: (EE) Unable to find valid frame buffer device; (EE) R128(0); Failed to open frame buffer device, consult above...; (EE) Screen found but none have a usable config. I tried changing the default driver "ati" to "r128". I had the same problem. I also tried 'vesafb' (recommended by someone on the suse irc channel) which it couldn't even find. I also tried adding Load "dri" in Modules as per this link: http://en.opensuse.org/PowerPC_X11_configuration. Still no joy. I know the hardware is good and I am pretty sure that the driver should be r128. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
