[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] no automagic reboot?
by Peter Czanik 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Hello, Is there any way to disable the automatic reboot at the end of installation? I know, I have ten seconds to cancel it, but it is quite boring to wait for it :-) If there isn't (and I could not find anything related on http://en.opensuse.org/linuxrc ), then I'll add a feature request for it. Background: I have a PPC machine, where the installer does not install a bootable kernel. Right now all I can do is to boot inst32, go through all of the linuxrc menus up to the point where I can start an installed OS. Then once installation is finished, then go to the command line and run: mkzimage --vmlinux /boot/vmlinux --initrd /boot/initrd --cmdline root=/dev/sdaX --output /boot/zImage (or just mkzimage --vmlinux /boot/vmlinux --initrd /boot/initrd --output /boot/zImage , as most users prefer to add boot parameters at firmware level, and it would also make scripting of it simpler). Of course, the ideal situation would be, if Olaf did not oppose this solution, and it was done automagically on each kernel install/upgrade. But until that I would like to do this before rebooting the machine and without needing to catch that 10 seconds, so going through linuxrc menus could be avoided and the real kernel could be used. BTW: this is especially problematic now, due to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373569 Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Cross compiling for ps3/cell under opensuse
by Matthew Berglund 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hello List! I am trying to do some simple cross compiling under opensuse factory. The spu -gcc is there, but ppu-gcc doesn't seem to be in any of the repositories. Is anyone doing any effective cross compilation with the repository based opensuse tools? Additionally, is there any hope of the IBM SDK (or at least the Eclipse functionality) coming to opensuse? Thanks, Matt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org
