[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

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.

[opensuse-ppc] 10.2-ppc PReP boot.iso uploaded
by Olaf Hering 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

I have uploaded an 80MB boot.iso for PReP systems. boot/ppc/zImage.prep.initrd is the bootfile, it should be possible to load this file also from harddisk or via tftp. A 10.2-bet2 testinstall was almost successful. But I forgot to replace the installed kernel-default.rpm from the orginial install media with the one on the uploaded boot.iso, so my MTX+ is stuck now until I reset it. The bootloader install will not work out of the box. YaST will not figure out a valid boot device. To workaround this, go into the bootloader config in YaST. There is a pulldown menu on the right side. Select 'Edit configuration file'. Add 'default=linux' and 'boot=/dev/sda' as global options for lilo.conf. After package installation, YaST will reboot the system. It does not know that the shipped kernel-default will not work on PReP. To work around this, boot again from the boot.iso. Instead of fresh install or upgrade, select 'Other -> boot into installed system', and continue with the installation. Once you have done that, install the kernel-default.rpm from the boot.iso. sax2 is currently unusable, it will write an incomplete and unusuable xorg.conf. I dont know in what shape xorg7.1 is for the graphics cards in PReP systems. The mga driver may work, but better stick with fbdev. 'Xorg -configure' should be able to write a xorg.conf that can be used as a start. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Questions on 10.2
by larrystotler＠netscape.net 01 Jan '07

Ok, so far I have successfully installed v10.2 on a PowerMac 9600/300 with the following specs Sonnet G4/700/1M 1024MB RAM Adaptec 19160 PCI SCSI Card Promise PCI ATA100 Card ATI Radeon 7000 w/ 32MB Opti PCI USB 1.1 card 18GB U160 SCSI drive Lite-on DVD-RW Well, the new KDE theme is different. Other than the annoying habit of the K-menu to come up(found and CHANGED) when I hover the mouse over it, the desktop is nice. I did have a few questions tho: 1. Why is there no 3d support for the Radeon 7000 I think this has been covered before, but I couldn't find it on google. It would be nice to be able to make use of the 3d on this card since ATI doesn't even offer a driver for Linux/PPC 2. My monito information wasn't saved by the installer. It defaulted back to 800x600 VESA. 3. When the system first started after the installation was done, it said it was in runlevel 5, but there were no logins available on any of the consoles. I had to switch to runlevel 3 from an X console to get them. 4. How come Midnight Commander is no longer a part of the default install? 5. Before, the apple key was the alt key in X and the Alt key worked in the console. Now, it's always the apple key. So far so good. This is a much better release than v10.1. Keep up the good work guys. What's planned for 10.3? ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.

[opensuse-ppc] Pegasos on 10.2
by Peter Czanik 17 Dec '06

Hello, Finally I had some time to make documentation. Here is the first version of my install guide for openSUSE 10.2 on Pegasos PPC: http://en.opensuse.org/PegasosQuickStart102 Thanks to the openSuSE POWER team, the guide became a lot shorter, compared to the 10.1 version :-) If I left out some generic (non Pegasos specific) info, it would be just a half screen. Bye, -- CzP http://peter.czanik.hu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] minor glitches in 10.2
by Stephen K Dickeson 10 Dec '06

10 Dec '06

Hi All, Finally downloaded 10.2 and installed it on my G5 1.6 tower. Two things, do any of you see K3BSetup? I can't find it anywhere. Also, I don't have any sound. and can't get sound started, so no Amarok. Kmix icon in tray has an x over it. Any suggestions on getting sound to work? When I go to the hardware pane in Sound System, and try to start sound, I get a progress bar that starts at 0 and goes to 100 over and over again, but no sound ever starts. Never had that problem in 10.1. Thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

[opensuse-ppc] 10.2 DVD install miniMac PowerPC
by Tim michals 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

Looks like the graphics driver is not loading, during installation, the text mode installer indicates that there limit memory thus text base install. After installing it still provides a text base UI. The miniMac has 256M of RAM. I installed FC6 and uses X for the installer and it can use X after installation. Looks like it is not finding the graphics card. Any ideas?
