am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

gcc 64-bit library support ?
by Paul Russell 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hi - I'm trying to build a 64-bit "Hello world" program on under SuSE 10 on a G5 Xserve. It looks like there are no 64-bit libraries as I get the following: > gcc -m64 fred.c -o fred.o /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64-suse-linux/ 4.0.2/../../../libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64-suse-linux/ 4.0.2/../../../libc.a when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > I'd appreciate any clues as to what I need to do to build/install 64- bit library support. Thanks, Paul

Disable auto loading module
by larrystotler＠netscape.net 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

How do I keep a module from loading at boot time? When I boot my 9600, the MESH module ends up being loaded, and for some reason the drive starts acting like it's in it's death throes until I can log in and rmmod it. It's not a bad drive, as I have tested it several times. On my 7500, it would do it a few times and then be ok, but it is continuous on this machine, so if anyone has a way that I can disable the loading, I would appriciate it. Also, it does not show up as a module in YaST. Only the Adaptec 2940 and the NCR controllers are listed by YaST.

partitioning with yast2 on iBook G3
by Karl Eichwalder 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

YaST wants to do some partitioning on its own during the installation of 10.1 beta2 on an iBook G3 (deleting my old / and creating new partitions for / and /home). Does this actually work on PPC? I'm too anxious to give it a try ;) -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH Key fingerprint = B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E

Installing
by Andrew Upfold 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

Hi I am trying to install SuSE 10 on my Apple PowerMac G3 350Mhz (Blue and White). I have discovered by looking here (http:// www.opensuse.org/PPC_Installation_Issues) that I have to create my own boot strap. I have managed to get the system to boot off the CD after install. I have even discovered the need to log in as root in the rescue system, but I can get no further. Having installed SuSE 10 on my PC I must say I am surprised how difficult it is to install it on the PPC. Any help would be greatly appreciated, in particular: 1. Getting into linuxrc. 2. Completing the installation. 3. Creating a working boot strap. Many thanks, Andrew

Does anyone know, how to install Suse 10 on an OldWorld Powermac from CD? Simply using BootX with the initrd32 Ramdisk and the unpacked linux32.gz Kernel (2.6.13-15-default) does not work. Thanks Michael

WIFI ibook G3
by sonofcolin 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Installed Opensuse 10.0 on a 500Mhz ibook. Very easy. Very nice distro! I'm trying to get wifi working. Does anyone have any settings/configurations they would like to share? The ibook has an internal 802.11b card but SUSE isn't seeing it and every combo I have tried fails to get wifi working. TIA

Linux on old MAC II
by Ronny Schröder 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi, my oldest Mac I tried to run Linux on is a Powerbook 1400 but I can't remember if it ran ever. For macs like a MAC II I think you have to look for m68k-linux: http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/ or debian: http://www.debian.org/ports/m68k I dont't know if SUSE offered a linux-version for 680x0-Macs ever. greetings Ronny

OldWorldMacs
by Ronny Schröder 24 Jan '06

Hi, First of all, I don't ran Linux on an Old World Mac at the moment. But I have some Old World Macs (PM 7500, PM 9500, ANS ....) In my PM7500 I had a USB-Card for a while an I had also trouble to get it to work. (under Mac OS) What I remember, you need an OHCI-Card, UHCI-Cards didn't work for me. I dont't maybe Linux can handle both. Hope the helps greetings from Germany Ronny (excuse my sometimes bad english)
