[suse-ppc] bmac gives packet loss
by Michael Engel 12 Apr '02

12 Apr '02

Again another nasty bug in current kernels turns my B&W G3 almost useless. With suseppc-kernel-2.4.16-55 a few hours after booting I get sudden paket loss when pinging another host and bad typing delays in telnet sessions. PING galileo.biochem.mpg.de (141.61.4.37) from 141.61.4.59 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from galileo.biochem.mpg.de (141.61.4.37): icmp_seq=4 ttl=128 time=463 usec 64 bytes from galileo... icmp_seq=5 ttl=128 time=453 usec 64 bytes from galileo... icmp_seq=6 ttl=128 time=475 usec 64 bytes from galileo... icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=4.131 sec 64 bytes from galileo... icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=3.131 sec 64 bytes from galileo... icmp_seq=7 ttl=128 time=453 usec 64 bytes from galileo... icmp_seq=8 ttl=128 time=479 usec --- galileo.biochem.mpg.de ping statistics --- 8 packets transmitted, 7 received, 12% loss, time 11150ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.453/1037.844/4131.281/1661.872 ms, pipe 5 The paket loss increases after few hours to 55%. Last known working kernel is kernel-2.4.7-pre3. Any clues? Thanks in advance. Grüßli, Micha

closing afpovertcp port
by Joss Winn 11 Apr '02

11 Apr '02

Hello, I notice that when I have netatalk running, the afpovertcp port is open but since I only netatalk to network with MOL, I'd like to close the port to the outside world. I've tried looking in the usual places to do this, but can't figure out how to close the port. Any ideas? Thanks Joss --

Re: [suse-ppc] setting up PHP4 and Perl for apache 3.1.19
by c G 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

i guess my real issue is that I wish to use apache with php4 and perl, and I don't believe apache is setup on my system to this( i believe apache isn't compiled to use the mod_php4 and mod_perl modules.) upon typing: httpd -l I get: http_core.c mod_so.c but it doesn't list mod_php4, mod_perl, or any of the other modules I think I need. plus, my server pages don't seem to recognize php4 code in any way. can you tell what my issue is? >From: Christopher Mahmood <ckm(a)suse.com> >To: suse-ppc(a)suse.com >Subject: Re: [suse-ppc] setting up PHP4 and Perl for apache 3.1.19 >Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 11:39:02 -0700 > >* c G (susegoose(a)hotmail.com) [020410 08:41]: > > my area of confusion is to whether or not the update rpms from >ftp.suse.com > > apply themselves to the source code existant on my system that I >installed > > as spms. > >Source rpms are just archives or source code, patches, and spec file >that tells rpm how to build a binary rpm from them.

setting up PHP4 and Perl for apache 3.1.19
by c G 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

I have the general "apache install (how-to)" my area of confusion is to whether or not the update rpms from ftp.suse.com apply themselves to the source code existant on my system that I installed as spms. I want to ensure that the compilation and istall process for apache, php4, and perl all use source code that will produce files with the updates applied. (thus the need for updated source code) Also is there a method (syntax and all) that might be preferred to following the general "apache install (how-to)"? any help is greatly appreciated SG _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Imac FTP Install
by Peter Akre 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

To All: Is it possible to do an FTP install on an imac with no floppy drive? If not is there somewhere I can get 7.3 PPC iso's? Is there another way I should install? I would purchase it but I am just trying to prove a point to a co-worker, and this imac will be going away soon. I was able to install yellow dog linux on it, but what a hunk of crap. Please help!!! Thanks Peter Akre

Device driver for extension board on Power Mac 4400/200
by crystalclimb＠yahoo.com 09 Apr '02

09 Apr '02

There is an extension board on the power mac 4400/200 that has a network card slot and 2 pci . I of course can get both PCI slots working with nic cards under mac OS 8.5 but I cannot get 7.1 to recognise the extension board . Is there a driver out there for download for the extension board ? Its frustrating since the old 486 have an extension board which have been supported for a long time but the extension board on my mac hasnt been setup properly and thats my connection to a network . Any ideas before I build my own driver finally ? Thanks :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/

pmud and random sleep
by Joss Winn 09 Apr '02

09 Apr '02

Hello, I upgraded pmud to the latest 0.10-1 version and now my iMac randomly goes to sleep. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled the SuSE version but still it randomly goes to sleep. I remember this being an issue many months ago and it was fixed by removing a particular file. However, I've forgotten whcih file it was and I'm surprised this has come up again after it was fixed. Any ideas? Thanks very much Joss --

Re: [suse-ppc] SuSE 7.3 on PowerBook G3 Lombard/Bronze
by Damir Buskulic 04 Apr '02

Hi John, If you try to set ALL the configuration params by yourself, you will get lost quickly ! As I did the first time I tried... The best is to take the prepared sources, either from your distrib CD's (I think it's something like kernel-sources) or one of Benjamin Herrenschmidt kernel sources. Try here : http://www.ppckernel.org/ under the "Ben kernel" section Then, first try to compile a kernel "as is" without any reconfiguration. If that works, you can go ahead and try to reconfigure. One warning. The .config file is the original configuration file. If you do a gmake clean or gmake mrproper, it will erase it. So you better save it somewhere, and not as .config.old, which is also erased. I think that both mentioned kernels are configured such that they rebuild correctly (I mean for PPC) the config file. But I'm not sure...
