Re: [suse-ppc] Suse vs Mandrake
by Jean-Francois Donati 11 Sep '01

I know about the nvidia ppc driver being missing. However, I understood that there were 2 separate problems. One concerned the mixed up X11 color table, which was a kernel issue (according to Olaf Herring). The other one is the acceleration, which obviously requires a proper driver. If problem 1 could be fixed, life would be already much easier on the new G4s. And my question was whether the recently acclaimed official Mandrake PPC distribution did provide some progress on this topic. I was a bit reluctant to reinstall linux completely (thereby ruining completely the suse implementation for which i invested quite some time already), just to check this particular point, given the fact that it will very likely bring nothing new... jean-francois Donati

KDE 2.2... Wie steht es...
by Stefan Eilers 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

Hi ! Nachdem ich bei dem letzten fehlgeschlagenen Versuch auf KDE 2.2 umzusteigen kläglich gescheitert bin (die Libraries waren falsch kompiliert) und mit dem Komplettverlust meiner Mail auf dem Laptop bezahlt habe, wollte ich mal hören ob jetzt alles in Ordnung ist, also: Funktioniert Kmail, Quanta usw. ??

Using NCPFS
by Garrett Conaty 10 Sep '01

10 Sep '01

Hi, Has anyone else experienced problems using NCPFS on Suse PPC? I'm using kernel 2.4.9-benh0-benh and I did upgrade to ncpfs-2.2.0.18-48. I can now do an 'slist' thanks do the ncpfs upgrade, but when I do an ncpmount, I only get the first level of directories. So if I ncpmount -S MYSERV -U gconaty /mnt/netware cd /mnt/netware ls I get the directories DATA1, DATA2, and SYS fine. But if I change into those directories, there's nothing in them! I did the same exact steps on a rhat 7.1 x86 box and it works fine (I can navigate down the directory hierarchy). Any clues? Thanks, Garrett Conaty

\PPC7.1\ ATAPI hdd adapters q'n
by Yuri K 10 Sep '01

10 Sep '01

Hello All, sorry if I missed the obvious: are the IDE/ATAPI adapters supported by PPC7.1? I want to build an internal ftp server on a 7200/90 machine and going SCSI for capacity build-up is a bit more expensive, although I still may go that way. TIA, Yuri Vancouver, WA/USA

Broken PPC SSL RPM and other things
by Andrei Verovski 10 Sep '01

10 Sep '01

Hi, 1) Open SSL PPC RPM (0.9.6-14) in update dir is odd, it breaks MOD_PHP4, please remove it either replace with valid one. 2) KDE 2.2 Control Center -> System Profiler does not work - it complains about undefined function (I have all base 2.2 packages installed). 3) Anyone can suggest me where I can doanload or rsync benh 2.4.6 tree? PenguinPPC rsync and ftp is down... Thanks in advance. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/MacGuruHQ/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

You have to replace it with Radeon/Rage 128 or try to install second PCI video card. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/MacGuruHQ/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

sleep, lombard, kernel 2.4.7
by Bob Torres 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

Hello, I'm using SuSE 7.1 with the 2.4.7 kernel on a Lombard (Powerbook G3/400), updated via the beta directory on the ftp server, using the deflt rpm. It works rather well for me, except for one thing: sleep support. After I installed the pmud.rpm package on the FTP site in the beta dir, the computer sleeps just fine, but on waking, the screen is scrambled, like it is stuck between video modes. At this point, I can't even force the machine to the console. Anyone have any tips on how to get sleep working correctly? Do I need a newer kernel? Another question, maybe a dumb one, but one I can't figure out in any case: if I do want to update the kernel to one of the newer benh kernels in the BETA dir, where do I get the system.map for it? Alternately, how do I update the kernel to a different package than the ones that are included in the deflt rpm? I know about changing lilo.conf, etc. but do I just stick the vmlinux* in /boot and go from there? Thanks in advance for any tips. best regards Bob Torres -- |Bob Torres, PhD Candidate, Development Sociology, Cornell University +...................................................................+ [e] bob(a)rjtorres.net [www] www.rjtorres.net [aim] djbobyt [advice] assume nothing
