[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

[opensuse-ppc] PPC DVD request (12.1 unstable)
by Joop Boonen 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Dear all, I'm wondering if would be an option to create DVD 12.1 unstable for PPC, when openSuSE 12.1 is released. As there is officially no up to date openSuSE PPC release anymore. Then newbie PPC users will be able to install it on their old mac.

The question is: WHO do we report this to to try to get some resolution? I realize that PPC is no longer officially supported, but I would hope that someone would have some experience with it and could at least point us in the right direction. Is Andreas Jaeger still around? Haven't seen him in a while(and I haven't been around as much as I had hoped to be either). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

However, I replaced the stock drive because it was bad with a regular DVD-ROM drive. I could install a DVDBurner if I wanted. Still has no bearing on the fact that I can boot the 11.1 NET CD(and probably the DVD as well) and not the factory NET iso. OS X.4 doesn't even allow using the factory NET iso as a starup disk, so I'd have to venture that there's probably something wrong with the disk itself. Especially considering that I'm not the only one with the issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org
