am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

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.

Unable to install Beta3 or RC1 on G3 Beige
by larrystotler＠netscape.net 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

I just aquired a Powermac G3 Beige system. Here are the specs: G3 @ 266Mhz 512k L2 cache Machine ID - 510(Rev 1 - $77D.4 - 0F2) Personality slot with 56k modem Dual IDE/3 PCI/SCSI 6GB IDE HD(IDE 1) 52x CD-RW(IDE 0) 100MB Zip (SCSI) ATI Rage II+ DVD - 2MB VRAM(on board) I put 384MB of 66Mhz SDRAM in it. No matter what I do, I cannot get the Yast installer to come up. I;ve tried with a lot of different memory configs and still no luck. When it starts up, it says to "Please supply config file", and then I get a blank screen. I can jump between screens(the num lock light goes off and on), but the are all blank. I even tried an ATI Rage II PCI card and same thing.....Any sggestions. I THINK it has Mac OS X on it because the OS 9 version is 9.2.2, but I don't really know anything about X, and just want to run Linux.....Thanx __________________________________________________________________ Look What The New Netscape.com Can Do!

freevec.org
by Peter Czanik 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hello, As far as I can see, it would be a major speed jump for G4 and newer computers, if we could use these optimalisations from http://freevec.org/ . Glibc and some db libs are compiled seperately for i686 on the PC as well. Alpha1 comes tomorrow, so it's probably too late for that one, but would be a nice addition for Alpha2. Should I file an enhancment request in bugzilla? Bye, Peter

packman packages for PPC
by Peter Czanik 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hello, A small collection of multimedia related packages are available at ftp://spike.fa.gau.hu/pub/pmppc/ It's compiled from packman source rpm-s. Original announcment was on the openSUSE list: http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2005-Sep/1665.html It has all the packages, which don't have extensive dependencies, as the PPC CD release (as all the other) are missing most of the '-devel' packages, and a third of all packages... I will update it, as soon as the rest of the packages is on-line (6th October). Bye, Peter

re: Powermac 7500 questions

I Have a spare 7500, and the RJ45 jack and the other jack that I thought was firewire is evidently a network device since they have the same logo. I think that the RJ45 uses the MACE driver and I guess the AAUI woud use a different driver. It didn't automatically detect the eth cards. I'm kinda newbie when it comes to Macs. Anyway, problem solved. I had moved my PCI cards around to make the case close and found out that my Via USB card will not work properly when it is installed in the PCI slot beside the processor. Here is the lspci -v output for the Via card: 0000:00:0e.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc.

RC1 install on PM 7500.
by LarryStotler＠netscape.net 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

I started installing RC1 on my system this morning. I have noticed something that happens in both Beta3 and RC1. When installing on a low memory system, you are booted into text mode. If you switch screens by doing the CTRL-ALT-# to check for module loading(tty3) or kernel messages(tty4), YaST will initialize the text mode installer on the terminal that is currently on the screen. This cased an installation headache for me when I installed Beta3, because YaST's screen would be messed up when kernel messages are posted, and I've been able to duplicate it on RC1. I've got more memory coming and I will see if it does the graphical install when I get the memory in the machine. Is anyone else using an old world Mac like my 7500? __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.

X - High CPU Utilization
by harryc 26 Sep '05

Does anyone have any ideas about why I'd see around 20 to 25% CPU utilization due to X, as seen in ksysguard? This is on a G4 Powermac Digital Audio running OpenSUSE 10.0 PPC RC1. Thank-you Harry Carlyle --

Powerbook G3(Dead LCD) external Monitor X Problems
by Greg Evans 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi, hopefully this is the right place to be posting this. I have a Powerbook G3/500 (Pismo) with a dead LCD display and an external CRT attached to it. I can get a nice console up on the CRT by passing 'video=ofonly' to the boot (or in lilo.conf), but am unable to get X to run. I saw a discussion earlier when I was searching through google that used "m3mirror", but I am not sure a) how to install/use m3mirror and b) how I would go about making the required configuration change 'm3mirror lcd:0 crt:1' if that is indeed a solution to this problem. Any help would be appreciated as I would really like to have X working on this machine. Thanks Greg Evans
