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

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.

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.

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

No matter what I tried, I have to use Sax2's default suggestion. Have you tried that? Also, are you sure you are in the right "Init?". Try "init 5" at the command line. That will change it to an XDM/KDM/GDM login. Good Luck. __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.

LILO Question

I am dual booting OSX and OpenSUSE 10.0 RC1 PPC on a G4 Powermac digital audio using LILO. I set up LILO per the instructions in this document; http://www.opensuse.org/PPC_Installation_Issues The problem I am having is that I only get the "Press spacebar to boot OSX" prompt for maybe 2 seconds before yaboot comes up. How can I make that prompt appear longer? I have Linux set as the default in LILO . If I make OSX the default I have the opposite problem.

I saw some info on it, but when I went into a kernel "make xconfig", it did not have the modules for it. Most of the stuff on the net is only as new as kernel v2.4, so I'll have to see if I can recompile it if I feel adventerous. Like the firewire, it isn't that important. Couple of other things: KInfoCenter - When I select info about SCSI, it is unable to display anything. The PCI list shows the Apaptec card. SaX2 - Cannot configure anything in it. No matter what I do, nothing works other than the recommended config(which at least works). I tried the 15bit and 24bit color like you suggested, but still no luck(of course, I need another 2MB VRAM for 24b I believe. This isn't really a problem since it works, but thought I would pass it on. There is no SuSEPlugger. Is this going to be added? The USB card I am using is a Via card that uses the UHCI module, and the kernel config said something about how it won't work with the HIDBP module being loaded, but I couldn't find any more info. I'm going to try my Belkin 2.0 card when I figure out which machine I put it in and see if it helps. I'll post that info you asked about when I get the chance. Thanks for all the help. I'll also post my /var/log/boot.msg when I get a chance. This machine isn't connected to the net right now. I may also try to pull RC1 to see if it helps any. Also, I haven't set it up to boot automatically into Linux. It still goes into Yast, and I boot the installed system. AFAIK, this shouldn't be a problem as long as I am using the same kernel for both....? Thanx __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.

PowerMac 7500 questions

23 Sep '05

I have a few more questions about my PowerMac. I am still running Beta 3, and probably will wait for the official release on 10/6 to update. This PowerMac has a built-in firewire port. Can it be enabled, and what is the module name? The Mac also has a PlanB Video In adpater. Can it be enabled, and do any programs like the TV viewer make use of it? When I Swapped out the built-in cd-rom for a SCSI CD burner, it doesn't recognize the burner as a burner. Will it see the burner, or do I need to re-install. Any help would be appriciated.

Some issues with my 7500 and Beta 3
by LarryStotler＠netscape.net 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

I still have Beta 3 on here, but here is a few issues I have noticed: Yast did NOT detect the onboard MESH controller of my PMac 7500 and was not able to start the install automatically. However, it did detect the onboard NCR53cX secondary controller as well as the Adaptec 2940UW card. When I try to select my monitor, the colors are messed up. However, if I use SaX2's recommended config, it is fine. Also, I am unable to select the video card. I installed a USB 1.1 card, a Via card. It was detected, and I am able to make use of my USB key drive, but nothing else. My USB mouse and printers are not detected. It would be nice to be able to use a real mouse..... Sounds does not always work at first. Upon booting and loggin in, either the onboard sound is unavailable or both it and my Creative SB PCI 512 is unavailable. However, when I log out and back in, it works properly. When I run frozen bubble, it seems to setup as a 640x480 screen size. Is there any way to fix this? It diesn't do it on my other Intel based systems. I will hopefully pull RC1 this weekend and re-install it with a larger hard drive. So far, I am VERY happy with what I have seen. Thanx for bringing back PPC support even tho Apple has jumped ship! Any suggestions would be appriciated.

Bigger case
by george 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Anyone know of a decent case I can transfer a G4 466 Mac mo board into a Intel box that holds at least 6 3.5 drives? If it matters, I can also use a B&W G3 board or a G4 450. I have a box that I'm running out of internal drive room. And yes, I already have a bunch of USB2 and firewire cases. I want to keep this internal. I'm willing to do some case tweaking with a dremel tool, but not too much and the power supply has to be bigger. I think my biggest problem is the stock power supply isn't made to power so many drives. The heat isn't helping...but then if I add fans... -- Thanks, George "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP" (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)

The release notes also stated that YaST is not currently able to partition drives on the PPC yet. You have to partition them on either an Intel machine or a system that already has a Linux OS on it like Yellow Dog. As for the colors, I had a simillar problem on my system. When I used SaX2's default config, it was ok.

I got it to come up with a very text based YaST. Need to work on repartioning the drive I will use. Can I set it on an Intel machine and then use it in the Mac? I am using an Adaptec 2940UW card.

Hi i just want to install openSUSE Beta3 on a PPC iBook on an external USB-HARDDRIVE. So theres my Problem: After installing the kernel an a minimal amount of apps of the openSUSE CD1, the YAST-Setup Tool wants me to restart my machine. So after doing it and pressing the ALT-Key after the beep, the external USB-Drive isnt bootable yet, so that I cant booting my newly installed openSUSE Beta3. Looking for help on google I found out, that I should do something with the yaboot-bootmanager! Also the description of booting into openSUSE on the openSUSE website doesnt work. Would somebody help me, and give just a little step-by-step description how I get this drive bootable, to start to my newly installed openSUSE? Thx allot! GALDO

Also, please don't reply to me, just to the list. I get a double message when I am replied to as well.
