[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] PPC DVD request (12.1 unstable)
by Joop Boonen 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Dear all, I'm wondering if would be an option to create DVD 12.1 unstable for PPC, when openSuSE 12.1 is released. As there is officially no up to date openSuSE PPC release anymore. Then newbie PPC users will be able to install it on their old mac.

I think it's best to have separate mailing lists for different architectures. I think traffic wise it also safes bandwidth. Only people that are interested in a specific mailing list will get this mail and not traffic they don't want. The ppc mailing list will be very interesting again when the AmigaOne X1000 and Netbook will be released. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOne_X1000 http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=781936 If this ends up in an active mailing list where also ARM resides it's difficult to filter, I'm subscribed to both. > Andreas > > -- > SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany > GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer; HRB 16746 AG Nürnberg > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org > To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org > Regards, Joop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

I wanted to install the current ppc factory distro. The iso file isn't seen as a bootable device by the powerMac G5. http://powerpc.opensuse.org/factory/iso/ The powerwpc 11.1 DVD is seen as bootable by the PowerMac G5.

Problematic are those general purpose lists such as -factory, -marketing, -project, etc. But as long as we do not create more of them, we can stand it. (I'm subscribe to -factory only, though.)

"Merging" MLs and creating a new name is generally problematic. "Closing" MLs is ok, if you think it makes sense (subject is dead or could be discussed else well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

The ppc, amd64 and ia64 lists didn't have any traffic in 2010 and 2011. I would like to have some point for people to go for non x86 architecture specific stuff.

Hey, we are currently trying to reduce the amount of communication channels we provide. Because of this I would like to merge the 4 architecture lists into one list called opensuse-arch. If nobody objects until the 15th of November 12:00 UTC I will merge the lists. You don't have to do anything except rewriting your filter if you use one. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
