[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

It's a kind of difficult to debug anything, as alt+(ctrl)+fX does not work to switch consoles, not even in text mode. Is it expected behavior or time to write a bugreport? (I don't have an x86 installer to check it ATM). The Alt key works OK, I use keyboard shortcuts all the time... Statistics: my installs won't show up in the download logs, as I use the Hungarian mirror. My international connection is far from ideal...

[opensuse-ppc] No isos for 11.1 in powerpc.opensuse.org repo?
by Larry Stotler 21 Aug '09

I am downloading the factory net iso for ppc, and when I looked in the distribution/11.1 folder, there is no iso directory under it.......Isn't there supposed to be one for the net install and dvd isos? Or am I missing something? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

Not a huge number, but openSUSE was (is) still the best distro for PPC, with very kind help from Olaf, not found at any other large distro. >> How definite is this decision? >> > We welcome and support anyone who wants to maintain and create the ppc > distribution for openSUSE but Novell won't maintain and create it anymore for > openSUSE. > Now, that my second son is also 4+ months old, I have again some time to do testing, but was disappointed to find, that the last factory sync is from 22nd of July, more than three weeks old. The communication of this, or rather the lack of it is really very ugly, I hope, this isn't what we have to expect from the openSUSE project...

[opensuse-ppc] No Milestones for PPC?
by Larry Stotler 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

I was looking to try Milestones on PPC, but didn't see any for PPC in either download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2-Milestone4/iso/ or in powerpc.opensuse.org. Is PPC being depreciated? I see a factory net install disk dated 7/22, which is around Milestone 4's timeframe.
