[opensuse-ppc] Sleep LED misused on 10.2 (iBook G3)
by Karl Eichwalder 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

The iBook G3 come with a white LED that's active if the device sleeps. On 10.2 during installation you seem to misuse it to signal hard disk activity. How can I disable it? -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH GPG: 1024D/06EB882E B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

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.

[opensuse-ppc] installation-images for ppc
by Toni Harbaugh-Blackford 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Folks- The installation-images package for ppc has not been updated for a while. In particular it does not contain the patch 346872 to libzypp, although that patch is in the current libzypp package *outside* of installation-images. What's up with installation-images on ppc?

1. Thanks to those who replied about Skype. I will drop them a request for a linux ppc port. 2. Is there an alternative voip software which members can recommend? I have a usb phone ... and an account with a local provider who offers cheap long-distance phone calls over the internet. I have phoned England and the on-air quality is fantastic. My relative in England uses Skype ... but I don't mind (short term) if use the voip phone and pay a couple of cents a minute for the call.

Reference to the Skype website reveals they do have a version for linux ... but compiled for the x86 range of computers only. Has anyone on this list compiled the latest version, or can you please direct me to a web address where I will find same? Richard PS Running 10.2 on this older B +W G4 400 MHz machine.

[opensuse-ppc] pmac_zilog patch MIA or no longer needed?
by Toni Harbaugh-Blackford 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi I was comparing patches to the source from 2.6.22 with patches to 2.6.24 to see if the pmac_zilog+8250 coexistance patch was still around, and it is not. Looking at the kernel.org patches in kernel-source-2.6.24_rc3_git3-66.1.src.rpm from the KOTD indicates that the issue may be fixed by use of CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG and CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG_CONSOLE Does this mean that serial console on machines like the Xserve G5 *should* work in 2.6.24 if /dev/ttyPZn is used in the "console=" kernel parameter line?
