[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

am I hacked ?

by Damir Buskulic

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] No java?

by Larry Stotler

I know that there's no flashplayer or win32 codecs for PPC/Linux, but what's the status of Java? I don't see the Java 1.6.0 or plugin available in the package list on my Powerbook. I've seen links for an IBM pseries/iseries version. Is that the only one? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Return back to old,good SuSE PPC distribution.

by ajcb＠hushmail.com

Hello! I started using Linux and OpenSource software with SuSE 7.0 PowerPC on my iMac,back to year 2000.I used it to 2004 when it was already completely outdated(SuSE stopped support to Desktop PPC in 2002 I think).I changed to YellowDog and DebianPPC which I use now.I am going to change my HD to 80GB and for sentimental reasons I do want(and can) keep the newly refreshed OpenSuSE-PPC along with DebianPPC,MacOSX and 2 BSDs (OpenBSD and FreeBSD). However I have some questions: 1)With Debian,apt-get can install,upgrade etc. packages with strong security checks(using a Debian release cryptographic key and gnupg),can the yum version (in 10.3PPC and 11.0PPC) do the same? 2)Can OpenSuSE-PPC deal with sound in iMacs rev.A August 1998? ALSA,jack, ardour,audacity working right? Suggestion: In Debian I can install without burning(or using any CD,DVD etc.), just from a harddisk HFS partition(with vmlinux,yaboot,yaboot.conf,initrd.gz on it) and booting from OpenFirmware to that same partition,the computer boots and searches for the installer .iso which we can have on a USB flash key for example.That .iso file is 220MB basic install or 650MB more featured install(X,KDE etc.),much less than a DVD .iso of 4GB,even with a DSL connection is a painful download. Thanks. -- Internet Security Software - Click here. http://tagline.hushmail.com/fc/Ioyw6h4dJxHAD70Cpw8lxDPsh1z1I0JRGq7N3HZJ0X1P… --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc]No Patterns on 11.0Beta3/ppc

by Larry Stotler

When I installed v11.0Beta3 on my Wallstreet, there were no patterns available in the list at all. Made the installation kinda interesting to say the least. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Installing OpenSUSE 11 alpha3 on PS3

by Thomas Nielsen

Hi opensuse-ppc I have been chasing info to help me installing opensuse 11alpha3 (also tried alpha1 before I learnt that I could not) on my Playstation 3. I have installed the "otherOS" bit, and I boot off the DVD, and when I see the penguin on the PS3 graphic, the PS3 freezes. In alpha 1 I could change the loader parameters at the bottom of the screen, but in alpha 3 I cannot even do that, so i have not even been able to troubleshoot a bit to get decent error codes etc. For starters, the DVD checksum of the http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-Alpha3/iso/torrent/openSUSE-… iso is not posted on http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version#Downloads which would be nice to rule out that ktorrent did me a service and added some extra challenge in the iso file. please help me get started; Thomas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] v11.0Beta2/PPC issues

by Larry Stotler

Ok, I finished installing v11.0Beta2 on my Wallstreet Powerbook. Got this after trying the Internet Connection Test: I tried updating the first time, but it didn't fix anything, so I ran a re-install. Also, it locked the system up at 75% on the final part of the install. Rebooting and starting it seemed to work fine. On the fresh install: Internet Connection Test failed Calling the YaST module - inst_suse_register has failed More information can be found near the end of the /var/log/YaST2/y2log file This is worth reporting a bug at http://bugzilla.novell.com Please, attach also all YaST logs stored in the /var/log/YaST2/ directory. I copied all the logs, but I was unsure if I should open a bug on this because it is a beta release. 1. After the reboot, YaST restarted into text mode. No idea why. I didn't change any settings in BootX. Actually, with v10.3 and on, I don't even have to put the video settings on the BootX command line. 2. Sound is now fixed. 3. Wireless still does not work. 4. When I removed network manager, YaST told me it had to install kinternet. It then proceeded to install a lot of 64bit packages. I ended up aborting it. Now, I'm fighting it to delete all these packages. When I deselect it and then try to taboo it it won't let me. I am hoping that after deleting them I can go back in and taboo them. This has been an ongoing problem on both i586 and ppc/32bit for a long time..,......Was finally able to taboo all the 64bit packages. Will have to see if it makes the system unstable. 5. Overall, system does seem stable. Other than the wireless, it's good to go. Keep up the good work guys. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] 11.0Beta2/PPC delta iso - "Seems not to be a usable image"

by Larry Stotler

I have downloaded the v11.0 Beta2 Delta ISOs on 2 different machines and I have not been able to burn the file on either machine. Also, since the delta ISO dvd is only 694MB, can I burn it to a CD instead of a DVD? Thanx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org
