[opensuse-ppc] Sleep LED misused on 10.2 (iBook G3)

by Karl Eichwalder

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

[opensuse-ppc] dud changed?

by Peter Czanik

Hello, I'm testing factory PPC right now, and ran into a problem. The driver update I prepared for 11.0 does not seem to work on current factory. It is quite dumb, just a dud.config and an update.post2: homeserver:/home/dud/linux # find . -type f -print -exec cat {} \; ./suse/ppc-11.0/install/update.post2 #!/bin/sh # (c) CzP: pczanik(a)genesi-usa.com # This script creates a bootable zImage file just before rebooting the machine # and also creates a sound.forth devtree fixup cd /boot mkzimage --vmlinux vmlinux --initrd initrd --output zImage cat > sound.forth <<EOF \ FORTH s" /builtin/sound" find-device \ Audio is on PSC2, just for informational purposes 1 encode-int s" cell-index" property device-end EOF ./suse/ppc-11.0/dud.config UpdateName: Driver Update for Genesi Efika 5200B (v004) UpdateID: 200808041508 UpdatePriority: 100 homeserver:/home/dud/linux # What changed?

All the files have today's date stamp on them. JFYI, rsync and httpd are now running on powerpc.opensuse.org and the factory snapshot is accessible now. I don't know the state of the snapshot though.

[opensuse-ppc] Stoooooooop the press :-) OpenSUSE 11.1 beta 2 on PS3

by Thomas Nielsen

Opensuse 11.1 beta 2 on PS3 does not bring a lot of joy for me, and I really think something i rotten. Here my observations. My PS3 is latest firmware from Sony (well almost it is not the 2.50, that JUST came out but 2.43) I formatted the disc, partitioning etc, so disc should be clean. Then it boots up on the DVD, and the nice installer begins to do its job. BUT at the moment of partitioning, if I do NOT accept the partitioning, the partition tool launch to customize partitions is not having a good day, I think some 32/64 bit issue. It is not capable of calculate partitions larger than 2Gb (two!! Gigabyte). So though the Disc is already limited in the PS3, 2Gb is pushing it a bit :-) But if I accept the partitioning, and move on then the REAL problem arises: The installation halts! After choosing KDE desktop, and NOT entering user info, displaying warnings, it jumps to root password, and then freezes. Mouse still moves, but no interaction possible - reproduces every time. While writing this, I realize I should have tested by entering a user - will try to do this tonight. If you ask me to do bugzilla's I am ready at the keyboard :-) Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] compiling postfix and mysql from source rpm fails

by Duncan noorman

We are in the proces of setting up an email server using postfix compiled with “DOVECOT“, “TLS“, “BDB“, “MySQL“, and “VDA”. SLES 10 provides postfix 2.2.9 and we need a versio > 2.3.0. We are attemting to create a secure (smtps, pop3s, imaps) virtual user email service on our power5 with SLES10.2 with encrypted passwords. In an attemt to build from postifxi srpm rpmbuild --rebuild --target=ppc64 postfix-2.3.2-12.6.src.rpm we see: /usr/bin/ld:warning: powerpc:common64 architecture of input file XXX is incompatible with powerpc:common output and /usr/src/packages/BUILD/postfix-2.3.2/src/global/dict_mysql.c:444: undefined reference to `msg_info' in an attempt to rectiffy the mysql problems we tried building mysql from the srpm.. but this fails with the message libstdc++.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format How can we build potfix > 2.3.0 with the needed support?-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

Does this also apply to installations on Sony PS3? Anyones best guess? I have (almost) been holding my breath for this release.
