[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] OpenSuSE on PS3
by Hubertus A. Haniel 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

Hi, I know this has been mentioned in the past a few times - Has anybody managed to get OpenSuSE 10.x on to a PS3 yet? - Is there somewhere a otheros.bld file specific for OpenSuSE? - I have trawled around and so far I have only seen success stories of Fedora, Yellow Dog, Gentoo and Ubunto where Fedora and YDL have a distro that actually supports the PS3 and the other two are more of a painful hack to get to work. I have also heard rumors of Debian working but not seen definite guides. - I would like to stay loyal to SuSE if I can but if that is not viable I may have to bite the bullet and go for Fedora.

[opensuse-ppc] bootloader on SuSE PPC?
by Thierry de Coulon 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

Hello, If I understand right on openSuSE 10.2 you configure a ppc "lilo" which in turn configures yaboot. My (small) problem is that I tried to configure lilo to have MacOS boot by default The relevent lines are: default = MacOS_X and (...) other = /dev/hda10 label = MacOS_X The first line also appeared in YDL's yaboot.conf, but not the two others. Now, when I boot, I get an option to "press space to boot Mac OS", and it does work (I guess that's openfirmware talking). If I just let go, it tries to boot MacOS but fails with this message: /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:9,\\MacOS_X: Unable to open file, Invalid device Is my lilo.conf syntax wrong, or must I change something in the openfirmware? The YDL yaboot.conf worked with th same configuration (as far as Mac OS is concerned). Thanks, Thierry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Opensuse 10.2 and old TiBook
by Thierry de Coulon 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hello, I've tried to install 10.2 on an old PowerBook Titanium 500Mhz (Radeon M6 LY), but I can't get X to work. Anyone tried? Is this an xorg vs Xfree86 problem? The only "recent" Linux I found that does manage it correctly is Yellow Dog 4.1. However, running SuSE 10.2 on my PCs, I'd love to see it on my PPC as well.

[opensuse-ppc] Updating
by Jean Malherbe 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

I am using 10.2 on a PowerBook Pismo (G3, 32 bit) and am v. happy with it. I just installed and got everything configured in the last week. I am now trying to update. I am using KDE as my desktop. The default update program in the panel is the GNOME one. I tried that, but it insisted on installing all the 64bit packages. I didn't want to do that so I aborted and configured the KDE one. On selecting to update the packages, it took me to Yast, but again had a bunch of 64 bit packages selected. I went through these and removed all the automatically selected 64bit packages, but ended up with the following error: #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2007-03-14 16:00:03 #### atom:bind-libs-64bit-9.3.2-56.1.ppc[20070314-152336] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies There are no installable providers of bind-libs-64bit >= 9.3.2-56.1 for atom:bind-libs-64bit-9.3.2-56.1.ppc[20070314-152336] Conflict Resolution: ( ) install bind-libs-64bit ( ) do not install bind-libs-64bit ( ) Ignore this requirement just here ... and so on for 16 different packages... If I select ( ) do not install bind-libs-64bit, and click on try again, I get the following: #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2007-03-14 16:16:05 #### patch:bind-2529-0.noarch[20070314-152336] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies There are no installable providers of bind-libs-64bit == 9.3.2-56.1 for patch:bind-2529-0.noarch[20070314-152336] Conflict Resolution: ( ) unlock bind-libs-64bit ( ) unlock all resolvables ( ) do not install bind do not install patch:bind-2529-0.noarch[20070314-152336] ( ) Ignore this requirement just here ... again for all packages, except libsoup-devel-64bit, which was not listed this time. I must confess, I don't quite understand all this, but have now selected the "do not install" option for each of these patches, and the rest of the update seems to be going fine. I assume that these are actually 64 bit packages, despite the "noarch." But if not, is there something I am missing? How do I apply these patches? Do I need to? Any assistance in clarifying this would be appreciated. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ on openSUSE Linux --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Backlight on Wallstreet II not working after sleep
by larrystotler＠netscape.net 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

I've ran into a bit of an issue. I'd already posted on how my Wallstreet II wouldn't go to sleep properly, and when forced to slep by closing the lid, the backlight wouldn't work. Well, now, if I leave it running, plugged in, when I try to use it, the Backlight will stay off. I have to reboot to get it to work. It works fine in OS 9.2.2, but not in openSuSE v10.2. It worked fine in v10.0.........Sleep also worked in v10.0. Thoughts? Thanx. ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] G4 L2 cache and BootX
by larrystotler＠netscape.net 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Hi guys. I managed to pickup a G3 All-in-One machine. It was a G3/233/512k, with a revision 2 ROM. I have managed to get Linux up and running on this machine fairly easily. All the hardware was detected properly. Some issues: 1. Got the issue with YOU wanting to download the 64bit libraries on the first update. I did not install ZMD. I used: suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/suse/update/10.2 2. Issue with the Internet test. If I select "Yes" and try to test the connection, it always fails. If I drop to tty2, I can verify a network connection with ifconfig. If I select "No", it automatically checks for internet sources, and the asks if I want to add them. Not sure why it tries to test the connection when I say no, and why I can't get it to worl when I select "Yes". 3. Does anyone have any idea how to edit the BootX preferences with Resedit? BootX's "GrabG3CacheSetting" program doesn't work on G4's/ I have put a G4/350 in this machine, and it tries to use the G3's cache setting, which fails. If I add "lcr=0xb908000", it doesn't work. I haven't been able to figure out if v2.6 supports this or not. I've seen post about editting the preference file with ResEdit, but since I have never used ResEdit, I have no clue how to edit it........ Any help would be greatly appriciated.
