[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] large packman update
by Peter Czanik 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Good news: after many days of compiling software, the long awaited update of Packman packages for openSUSE 10.2 PPC are available. Over 500 packages are uploaded to the usual location: ftp://spike.fa.gau.hu/pub/pmppc102/ Many of them are tested by me, but of course, I could not try all of the packages. If you have a problem, please let me know, and I'll try to fix it. Now I'll also try to catch up with packages for openSUSE 10.1.

[opensuse-ppc] openSUSE on PS3
by Brandon Williams 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I saw a thread in the archives where Peter Flodin has created a page to get openSUSE running on the PS3. I a PS3 myself, and was curious to know if any progress has been made. If it's just a matter of testing something, I'd be more than happy to do so.

[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

Re: [opensuse-ppc] 10.2 DVD install miniMac PowerPC

Looks like it is not finding the graphics card. Any ideas? Does this happen only during package install, or also in the second step of the installation when YaST configures your hardware? It is probably specific to this model.

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

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] openSUSE on Playstation 3
by Peter Flodin 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

Whilst there is some time until Playstation 3 gets launched in my part of the world (March for Australia), I thought I would promote the discussion and collection of resources required to get openSUSE running on the PS3. For those interested, the PS3 is a 3.2 GHz Cell processor that is Power 970 architecture compliant. It only has 256Mb DRAM, which should be sufficient as a multimedia front-end and basic other use. Linux runs virtualized on the PS3, (all hardware calls are done through the hypervisor). Sony seems to be interested in Linux and together with IBM and Toshiba (the consortium behind the Cell processor), are actively providing patches against the Linux kernel for the cell processor and the Playstation3 device support specifically. Resources: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ Specifically the 'PS3 Linux Distributor's Starter Kit' http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-linux-distro-k… The playstation uses kboot that gets installed into the playstation flash rom and is selectable from the Playstations system menu as the boot image. The starter kit above has a customised kboot for installing Fedora Core 5. It would probably be possible to use the Fedora kboot and start a Fedora install and then do openSUSE similar to these instructions for Ubuntu. http://www.louiscandell.com/ps3/ But long term the first task would be create a customized kboot for openSUSE. I have created http://en.opensuse.org/PS3 as a location for documenting progress.
