Our installer does not support anything that is not a Power server although it might happen to work by accident. Finally the kernel does not support these CPUs - I don't know if it's built for them but it's certainly not tested in any way. And it won't be - we don't have any openQA workers for this platform.

tumbleweed missing libs/packages?
by Collin C 06 Jul '23

06 Jul '23

I understand the PPC builds of leap and tumbleweed are mostly intended for big iron/enterprise servers. However with the advent of raptorcs and their "blackbird" and "talos" motherboards and availability of POWER9 cpus to the general public there are home desktop users now (like me) Tumbleweed doesnt seem to include any web browsers at all, and is also missing some essential libraries I need for compiling or running software. Leap didn't have this issue, but I would have a lot of headaches with some of its deprecated packages when compiling software for this arch (ppc64le) so I went ahead and upgraded to tumbleweed. I much prefer SUSEs ease of use over fedora, so i'm curious why even a web browser(firefox) is not available from repos for tumbleweed ppc64le.

Has my G5 died?
by tonyj＠suse.de 07 May '22

07 May '22

I have a Quad Core G5 (2005). I'd not turned it on in several years. I figured I'd see if I could do a more recent install. First thing I noticed was that it stopped chiming at boot though it still started up into openfirmware. I could boot the existing SLE install. I could run the latest ppc64 install (from USB) but it locked up during kernel boot (somewhere in networking). I came back to it today and now I'm running into lockups inside open firmware. I can be typing "set-defaults" or "boot cd:" .... and the machine will lockup after a couple of characters. After a short while the fans kick on at full speed which is usually sign of a lockup. I've tried opt-cmd-p-r, I hear it reset but it's 50/50 if it chimes again vs needing to power cycle. I swapped the 3v battery with a new one. I can still boot the installed SLE (on the SATA) but openfirmware is still totally unstable and randomly locks up mid command. No way I can do a reinstall. I've tried "reset-nvram" "set-defaults" "reset-all" and about 50% of the time the machine locks up either during the command or when trying to enter a subsequent command. "setenv auto-boot? false" either locks up or doesn't (based on subsequent boot and printenv) actually change the variable but if I boot into SLE and run the Linux "nvram" command I can change auto-boot and the machine does now reboot auto into openfirmware but oddly if I then run printenv I now have two columns of values, in first column auto-boot? is false and in the other true. Anyone seen similar? I'm not sure if it's possible to reflash low level firmware without a MacOS install? -- Tony Jones SUSE Kernel Performance Team

Lack of updates for Tumbleweed on ppc64le

I noticed a lack of updates for Tumbleweed on ppc64le recently. Looking at the repository, the last updates are from June 27th: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/ppc/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ppc64le/?C=M;O=D Have there been any issues? -- Tulio Magno
