[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

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] Anybody made any progress towards installing OpenSuSE-PPC on PS3?
by Ted Garrett 03 Jul '07

So far I've been unable to find anything on the distribution DVD that kboot will function with from the prompt. Here are the things I've tried: sr0:/suseboot/inst64 sr0:/suseboot/yaboot.ibm sr0:/suseboot/yaboot I am considering remastering the dvd with an /etc/kboot.conf file in order to properly execute whatever will work as an installation kernel with initrd configuration and all. Anybody got any ideas?

[opensuse-ppc] Unable to install Open Suse Alpha 3 ppc on JS20
by Jerone Young 14 May '07

14 May '07

This appears that it would be something that would effect all PPC systems trying to install any of the Open Suse Alpha releases. Once you are at the part in the installer where you do the partitioning of the disk, set what sotware you want to install, and what not. Once you want to progress in the install you are prompted with a message saying there is an Error that neededs to be resolved. This is using the ncurses installer as I have to install via a serial port. The problem is there are no errors anywhere on the screen for you to fix. So when back through every option redid some, and even set some to the predefined defaults to attempt to get past this error .. no luck. Currently I am totally unable to install it on my JS20 blade .... anybody have any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org
