[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

[opensuse-ppc] 11.1 ps3 sound mixer
by Mick Charles Beaver 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hello, The guide on the openSUSE wiki suggests using alsamixer to adjust levels. If I remember correctly from 11.0, alsamixer would find one mixer element to adjust. I simply don't recall what capacity it worked, though. In 11.1, I don't find any mixer elements when running alsamixer. On a positive note, audio seems to work correctly; I can listen to Internet radio without issue. The level(s) seem to be as loud as they can go, though. Am I doing something incorrectly?

[opensuse-ppc] 11.1 ps3 network/dns issue
by Mick Charles Beaver 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hello, I have been having the strangest network issue as of late. I did not have any problems with openSUSE 11.0, but am having it with 11.1. Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. I seem to be getting intermittent problems resolving hosts. I will have trouble trying to update with zypper or browse the web with Firefox. It doesn't fail everytime, so I do not know where to begin to debug. My wireless connection works correctly when using the PS3 under the Game OS. Here is an example of what I am seeing: ps3-linux:~ # host powerpc.opensuse.org powerpc.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.142 ps3-linux:~ # zypper update Download (curl) error for 'http://powerpc.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/content': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Couldn't resolve host 'powerpc.opensuse.org' Abort, retry, ignore? [A/r/i]: ^Cps3-linux:~ # ps3-linux:~ # host powerpc.opensuse.org powerpc.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.142 I am using wlan0 configured via DHCP connecting to a common LinkSys WRT54G wireless router without encryption. Like I mentioned earlier, I used the same setup under 11.0 without a problem. Other computers on my wireless network do not have any trouble. One thing that seemed out of place to me was that the network activity light on the PS3 seems to stay lit when I am not using the network, and blinks when I am. Shouldn't it be off when I'm not using any network functions? Is anybody else seeing that particular issue? Here is more system information: ps3-linux:~ # uname -a Linux ps3-linux 2.6.27.7-9-ppc64 #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux ps3-linux:~ # ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:0D:B1:9C:D3 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:51 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1404 (1.3 Kb) TX bytes:1404 (1.3 Kb) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:0D:B1:9C:D3 inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21d:dff:feb1:9cd3/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:29658 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:19969 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:39358232 (37.5 Mb) TX bytes:2213012 (2.1 Mb) ps3-linux:~ # iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"beaver" Nickname:"gelic_wl" Mode:Managed Access Point: 00:1D:7E:41:5C:81 Encryption key:off Link Signal level=90/100 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 ps3-linux:~ # tail -5 /etc/resolv.conf ### Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file! search eau.wi.charter.com nameserver 68.115.71.53 nameserver 24.196.64.53 nameserver 24.159.193.40 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

There is nothing such as a sleep mode during installation, that wouldn't make any sense. If it keeps happening to you in the future please open a bug for it.

[opensuse-ppc] opensuse 11.1 on ps3 not found after install
by Joachim Banzhaf 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi list, I want to report an installation error and hope you can tell me whats wrong or how to investigate. The problem is, that after an install from the 11.1 ppc full dvd the boot manager does not show this os. What I did: - buy new ps3 with 80gb hdd (in germany, the Little Big Planet bundle - in case that matters) - upgrade to latest firmware (I guess it was 2.53 - whatever you got last week of 2008). - backup files to usb hdd, repartition (10gb for other os), restore files. - download install dvd, check md5 and burn it with k3b - install bootloader and reboot to otheros - do yast install (dont remember exact settings I selected, but usually I add kernel compile tools and use lvm and kde) Now the install begins. I can see the packages get installed - but since this runs very long, I leave. When I get back I see the bootloader, but only with the option to boot from dvd :-( I know my way round in linux on x86, shells and grub, but this uses a different bootmanager, so I dont know where to look for logs. Can you get me on track? Joachim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Re: [opensuse-factory] A suse way to buil an rpm package from kernel source
by Peter Czanik 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hello, Marcus Meissner írta: > Build your own kernel? Then check out the kernel-source SRPM and just add > your changes that you need and rebuild the kernel-<flavour>.rpm from it. > Is there a documentation for it anywhere? We would like to build a custom kernel for our PPC boards. Some patches became available only after release, which increase HDD performance, fix Ethernet. Also the 11.1 kernel sources have support for two interesting boards, but not enabled. With some ugly hacks, we have now an almost working kernel rpm, but the ultimate goal would be a perfectly working kernel rpm, and to generate an installer from this. Any pointers, how to do this?
