[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] Looking for the factory iso?
by Klaas. 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi, I looked for output from factory to install om my PPC. The place I looked into was: powerpc.opensuse.org/factory/iso/ which still contained the .iso file I downloaded and tried to install 10 days ago with no success (it doesn't boot). My question is: Do I look in the right place? If that is correct I will just check thee directory from time to time. If not, where should I look? greetings, Klaas. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Factory for PPC again building
by Marcus Meissner 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hi, I just got informed that openSUSE Factory is again building against PowerPC. So while there is no distro as of now, Factory could be tested and used. (Or even snapshotted.)

[opensuse-ppc] No More Official PPC Distro
by Larry Stotler 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Just got this answer from a bugzilla posting(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557580) from Michael Loeffler about why there wasn't a PPC version of 11.2: "we (Novell/SUSE employees) won't provide a ppc distribution anymore. The effort for such a code stream is not justified by 0.3% out of all installations (see Distribution of architecture at http://en.opensuse.org/Statistics) Nevertheless we will support anyone who'd like to take over the task to build an openSUSE ppc distribution." So, what's the interest in trying to keep the PowerPC port alive? With such a small user base, I agree it doesn't make sense for them to continue to do it(although I was under the impression that the POWER port of SLEx was based on openSUSE so I'm not sure what the status of that is going to be either). I have several viable Powermacs that can run openSUSE. Peter Czanik uses it on a Pegasos PPC machine. So, what's the interest? I'm not sure how much help I can be other than testing but I'd like to find out who else is using or wanting to use openSUSE on PPC.

[opensuse-ppc] Installation of Factory Release on PS3?
by connormcl 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

It was said on the ppc mailinglist, that there will be no install DVD release for opensuse 11.2. It was recommended to use the factory netinstall image. How is it possible to use that image to install the factory distribution on a Playstation 3? Or was opensuse 11.1 the last possible version? There are no announcements anywhere regarding this issue. On the Playstation 3 installation page at: http://en.opensuse.org/Playstation_3 The following is stated: openSUSE 11.1 Other OS Bootloader Note: available on full installation media only (not on Mini CD for Network install) So there is no possibility to have an opensuse beyond 11.1 on Playstation 3? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

I opened a bug report about it since I can't seem to get any answer as to the status of PowerPC support. It's here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557580 Maybe we will get an answer soon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] GEtting up to 11.2 on PPC
by Klaas. 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

LS, Can someone in the know (Marcus?) please give a description how to get an openSuse 11.2 install om a PPC, PowerMac G5 1.8 dual in my case. I downloaded the one CD from the repository, it was dated oktober. It would not boot. I am totally confused about the use of Factory. So please some coaching and handholding and maybe I can get some use out of this beast (the most expensive and least usable Mac that I bought). There is an openSuse 11.1 system on it, but corrupt it keeps reloading the desktop. Waited for 11.2 and now this. --- greetings, Klaas Punt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] OpenSuse11.2 on PPC
by Klaas. 12 Nov '09

In download: openSUSE only supports PCs with 32Bits and 64 Bits. Does this mean that I can stop looking for a PPC distribution? --- greetings, Klaas. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org
