Power management on g4's
by Nathan Moore 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Hi, I'm running opensuse 10.1 on a small cluster of G4's. The cluster is used only for computation, so I've removed monitors, keyboards etc and have the machines sitting on a shelf. Are there additional powersaving measures I can enable? Will linux put the machines into a "sleep" mode in a way similar to OSX if there are no cpu-intensive processes running? (I notice that the cooling fans never seem to spin down and am guessing that everything is running full-bore). Would pulling the graphics cards, disconnecting zip, cdrom drives etc reduce the electrical load substantially? Nathan Moore

Still having problems with v10.1 and B&W G3
by larrystotler＠netscape.net 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Well, after fiddling around, I finally put my overclocked G4 chip back to stock speed(from 450 to 400Mhz). This seemed to have fixed the problem, but alas no. While I was able to actually start the installation with no issues now that I have an ATI Rage128/16MB video card, I am still having problems. YaST will inform me that a package has an error. If I hit retry or ignore, YaST fails and drops me back to a terminal and then starts booting. One tme it even started the system, but since i never actually entered a USID or password, I could not do anything. If I go ahead and reboot the machine, I get back to the start of that CD and it starts up again. The error is: Err: 3:Package lsb-3.0-18 fails integrity check. Do you want to retry downloading it, or abort installation? Well, this last reboot got past the lsb package........Starting to look like it will finally finish this time. I had a problem with the ieee1284 package earlier, and on the subsequent re-install, I deselected that package(Ummm, Macs don't have standard parallel ports, nor an I855 which is set to install on default either. Is there some reason that the i855 was put into the PPC tree? That's an intel specific part). I have tried different processors, different memory, different speeds, differnt CD drives(the 32x drive that was in the machine won't start the installer), different video cards, etc. I'm almost ready to give up. Am I the only one having these kinds of problems, or am I the only one trying to use these type of older machines? I have a hard time believing that I have 5 macs that all have some type of hardware problem.(7500, 9600, G3 beige, 6500, G3 B&W). Any help would be appreciated. All help that I have already been given has been greatly appreciated as well. ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!

recent updates break screensaver
by Stephen K Dickeson 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

I have determined that the installation of suse 10.1's most recent updates breaks my screensaver. I reinstalled suse yesterday to determine what was causing my screensaver to break. The screensaver worked right up intil I did the updates. After that, if I right clicked on the desktop and went to Configure Desktop.. Screensaver the screensavers would take a couple of seconds to load and they would test okay, but if I set the time to 1 minute, hit Apply and OK, the window would close but the screensavers would never start. Has anyone else noticed this problem on their ppc? More importantly, does anyone know how to get the screensaver working again? I have been able to replicate this problem on both a G5 1.6 desktop and a G4 1.25 Ghz dual desktop. The files that were updated were: bash.ppc 3.1-24.3 pam.ppc 0.99.3.0-29.3 qt3.ppc 3.3.5-58.3 kdebase3-ksysguardd.ppc 3.5.1-69.15 kdebase3.ppc 3.5.1-69.15 dhcp.ppc 3.0.3-23.1 dhcp-client.ppc 3.0.3-23.1 glib-sharp2.ppc 2.8.2-15.1 cdparanoia.ppc IIIalpha9.8-562.3 gtk-sharp2.ppc 2.8.2-15.1 dhcdbd.ppc 1.12-14.2 cyrus-sasl-saslauthd.ppc 2.1.21-18.3 cron.ppc 4.1-45.3 powersave.ppc 0.12.18-0.2 syslog-ng.ppc 1.6.8-20.3 foomatic-filters.ppc 3.0.2-20.3 aaa_skel.ppc 2006.5.19-0.2 kdebase3-SuSE.ppc 10.1-58.3 susehelp.noarch 2006.05.03-1.2 Thanks!

Configuring Dual-Boot
by Karl Eichwalder 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

I just installed SL 10.1 on my dual-boot G3 iBook. Unfortunately, I did not deselect the bootloader installation and thus YaST turned my iBook in a single-boot Linux system. Previously, I booted with the Open Firmware, by default it booted Linux and I could also press space to boot Mac OS. What must I do to configure the iBook that way again? -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH Key fingerprint = B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E
