Out of the hits which were listed there were two which I thought stood out. * a link to a company who holds proprietary code which unlocks information from the device so that Linux can then control the device. That link is here: http://www.dhakamobile.com/vygistoolbox/549-repair-security-data-for-huawei-and-unlock-zte-mf628-vodafone-k3565-z.html/ * a link to a Fedora Linux Forum discussing this device which also provides some instruction regarding accessing it. That link is here: http://www.betavine.net/bvportal/forums/index.html?threadId=ff8080812057dadb012096545e6477a8&postId=ff808081218c48e60121926366890dd5/ Just so we are clear on the point, although Linux commands function within nearly all distributions similarly; it may be the case that there are no programs or drivers for controlling that device within the YDL environment as YDL is a PowerPC family /Cell system exclusively. Many drivers run only on Intel systems. It may not be impossible for someone to have or allow you to download the driver source which in turn would allow you to compile a driver for use within YDL, but you'll have to make sure you are familiar with compiling source. Alternatively there may be a different solution which you may have overlooked, the PS3 is apparently capable of wireless communications which means that you'd need only the wireless router provided by your ISP. The instructions for getting the PS3 up and running using wireless communications is listed here: http://us.fixstars.com/support/solutions/ydl_6.x/ps3-wifi-config.shtml/ On Fri, 5 Jun 2009 15:55:34 +0200 BKapp at turntown.co.za wrote: > > Hi all > > I have a Vodafone USB modem, model K3565-Z.

Message-ID: <20090608203201.43ebc0b8@arakus> Hi All At the 2009 Computex Trade Show Nvidia demonstrated Tegra based netbooks or smartbooks which will soon be made available as laptops and tablets. http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Nvidia_Shows_12_Tegra_Netbooks_Tablets/551-102889-893.html/ There exists also an article in the NY Times which announces that this system will be released around Christmas between $50 - $100. Here it is: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/08/technology/business-computing/08compute.html?hpw/ PC Mag had an article on these chips back in Feb which is here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2341032,00.asp/ It took some time to learn about what the processors used actually are. Turns out that they are ARM RISC chips; I'm imagining that they are close enough to the PowerPC family so that YDL could run on it. I could be very wrong of course, as I'm referring to web based reports which can be rather dated and plus plain wrong. Although I did find a different link discussing Linux support for ARM, of course I remain focused upon YDL. What is very interesting about this chip design is that apparently it is multicore as well; so the potential for low power and yet high level processing which is portable (and rather cheap) is very enticing - to me anyway. So does anyone, have a clue whether YDL will run on that beast? ========================== An interesting definition of Open Source: ?Man should not consider his material possession his own, but as common to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need? -- Thomas Aquinas 12th Century. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

"man rpmbuild" is your friend :-) BUILD OPTIONS The general form of an rpm build command is rpmbuild -bSTAGE|-tSTAGE [ rpmbuild-options ] FILE ... The argument used is -b if a spec file is being used to build the package and -t if rpmbuild should look inside of a (possibly com- pressed) tar file for the spec file to use. so: rpmbuild -tb something-1.2.3.tar.gz might get you going in case the .tar.gz contains a spec file.

I have an 80 GB Playstation 3 console, which actually has 74 GB free space to be used by its end user. I had tried to install Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 as other OS, which was confirmed by PlayStation Customer Service that it would not void my guarantee. I allotted 10 GB for partitioning to other OS in formatting menu; however, I could never pass Kboot screen beyond to be able to install it properly. Probably, the problem is related to my display. (CRT TV) Anyway, I am not asking any help about installing this other OS; I am just asking help about having my full hard disk back as one part. Because those 10 GB that I had allotted for other OS still seem detached, despite all my effort to uninstall YDL. In other words, my PS3's free space is still 64/74 GB in system information screen. In order to delete this other OS completely, I formatted my system specifying to use "all for the PS3 system". I did this many times both as quick format and full format, which took 4 hours. Desperately, I even tried to restore my default settings, to restore PS3 system, to rebuild database and to update version 2.76 again. None of them worked out to bring my 10 GB partition back. In system information, it still states 64/74 GB as free space. Moreover, I can still reach to Kboot screen of Yellow Dog Linux by following "system settings-default system-other OS" in PS3 menu, as if I have never deleted it and reformatted my console. All forum advices on Internet and even YDL Board answers about uninstalling could not help me at all. Please help me to have my whole hard disk (74 GB) back in one piece.

I don't know what windows program you would use but if you have a linux OS plug your 2.5" drive in via USB then use GParted or QTParted to erase the partitions then plug the unformatted drive back into the PS3 and it will recognise that your drive is unformatted and format it for you.

This is the last PB G4 made with hi-res display and I note in the Supported Hardware section of Fixstars website that there is an audio issue reported by an end user: * *Apple PowerBook 15" 1.67GHz G4, 2005-06 1. /Notes:/ On the last shipping model of this product, an end user has shared that audio fails under certain configurations of Totem; Ekiga does not function. I was wondering if anyone has one of these powerbooks and have they been able to get around the issue with audio or would is it best to look for the Powerbook 5,6 instead? Thanks in advance!

I don't recall whether I had any issues with Ekiga or not, but I can tell you that Totem was a royal pain. [WARNING: Opinionated sentence] Personally, I think Totem is the *worst* media software out there and it should die. I would recommend gMplayer, VLC, or Audacious as replacements for Totem. As for sound in general on my PowerBook 5,8, it functioned perfectly. :-) -Hal Pat Wall wrote: > Hi All > > I am thinking of buying a Powerbook 5,8 G4 15" to run YDL on the move. > This is the last PB G4 made with hi-res display and I note in the > Supported Hardware section of Fixstars website that there is an audio > issue reported by an end user: > * > *Apple PowerBook 15" 1.67GHz G4, 2005-06 > > 1. /Notes:/ On the last shipping model of this product, an end user > has shared that audio fails under certain configurations of Totem; > Ekiga does not function. > > I was wondering if anyone has one of these powerbooks and have they been > able to get around the issue with audio or would is it best to look for > the Powerbook 5,6 instead? > > Thanks in advance! > > > Pat > > _______________________________________________ > yellowdog-general mailing list > yellowdog-general at lists.fixstars.com > http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general > HINT: to Google archives, try ' site:us.fixstars.com' > > From dcenteno at ydl.net Tue Jun 23 21:16:41 2009 From: dcenteno at ydl.net (Derick Centeno) Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:16:41 -0400 Subject: [ydl-gen] Question on 15" Powerbook G4 1.67ghz (Powerbook 5,8) In-Reply-To: <4A40D309.4090608@mac.com> References: <4A40D309.4090608@mac.com> Message-ID: <20090623231641.517fed42@arakus> Hi Pat: I run YDL 6.1 on exactly on the system you describe. Within the current version of YDL, you'll notice an application called Codec Installer. This application allows you to install both a free mp3 audio decoders and other media support apps from Fluendo which one pays for. Regarding listening to music within YDL, I've not had any problems. I want to point out that it is easy to overlook that within YDL there exists a Gnome/GStreamer based volume control application, which acts as a Master volume control. When this app is open be sure that within the Playback tab both Master and PCM sections are functioning. You can do this by left-clicking upon each speaker symbol to remove the red marked x you may find there. Remember also to raise the volume channels to your preference. Also under the Switches tab make sure that the speakers are selected as your output. Unfortunately although other apps affecting sound are available, none of them have the overall effectiveness of this app I'm speaking of. So make sure that this particular app is set properly first. All the best... On Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:05:13 +0100 Pat Wall wrote: > Hi All > > I am thinking of buying a Powerbook 5,8 G4 15" to run YDL on the > move.

After working through some boot troubles I got it working okay. But the laptop only has 48Mb of RAM and top shows nearly all of it in use along with a good chunk of VM. So I installed it on a PB G3 (non-series). It puked at the end due when it tried to set up yaboot as expected. I booted into the new install and it went well until it tried to initialize X. It said it wasn't working, offered to show me the log, asked if I wanted it to try to configure it, it tried and failed. Well after a lot of thrashing I tracked it down in the log. The 3400 has a Chips and Technologies ct65550 while the G3 has a ct65554. The chips driver was reporting that information. For the 3400 it reported 1024K of VRAM but for the G3 it only shows 512K. Both actually have 1024K. I don't know why it mis-reports it. Because of this when it checks various video modes (dozens) it can't find one that will work. 800x600 at 16 bbp which is what it was set up for is 900+K so the driver doesn't find any viable configuration. I changed the video mode to 8 bbp and that works. It looks bad but it works. I tried looking on line and couldn't find anything useful. So I'm asking if anyone knows of a fix for this? My gut feel is there probably isn't. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" From kstaats at us.fixstars.com Mon Jun 29 07:35:10 2009 From: kstaats at us.fixstars.com (Kai Staats) Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 07:35:10 -0600 Subject: [ydl-gen] Fixstars Releases YDL v6.2 with Xfce, USB install, and EPEL: Press Release 29 June 2009 Message-ID: <200906290735.10878.kstaats@us.fixstars.com> YELLOW DOG LINUX v6.2 OFFERS XFCE, USB INSTALL, EPEL, MORE THAN 600 UPDATES LOVELAND, COLORADO, 29 June 2009 - Fixstars today announced the immediate availability of Yellow Dog Linux version 6.2, delivering several updates and improvements making it simpler to install, faster, and easier to use. This release offers an updated kernel v2.6.29 for 64-bit systems, OpenOffice 3.0, Firefox 3.0.6 and IBM Cell SDK v3.1.0.1, as well as the next generation of ps3vram for fast, temporary file storage or swap using PS3 video RAM. With this release, ps3vram is up to 50% faster than in YDL 6.1 and is automatically enabled as swap. YDL 6.2 now offers libfreevec, a (LGPL) library with replacement routines for GLIBC, such as memcpy(), strlen(), etc. These routines, which have been rewritten and optimized to use the AltiVec vector engine found in the G4/G4+ PowerPC CPUs, can provide for up to 25% increase in application performance. With YDL v6.2, Fixstars has added a fourth alternative for the desktop environment: Xfce 4. A fast and lightweight desktop environment, Xfce runs applications quickly while reserving system resources, making it ideal for memory limited systems such as the PS3. Although E17 still runs as the default, users can select to install and enable Xfce at any time. For wireless users, the graphical interface Wicd for Apple PowerBooks and PS3s, now offers more reliable WEP and WPA security protocols. "In Yellow Dog Linux v6.2, we focused on refining the existing features from previous releases," states Owen Stampflee, Fixstars Linux Product Manager. "We have fine tuned everything from Shockwave Flash support to wireless operation. This release is another example of how Fixstars continues to produce the sashimi of the Linux world; anything else is just a fried fish sandwich." YDL v6.2 supports: - Apple PowerPC G4/G5 products - Sony PLAYSTATION3 - YDL PowerStation YDL v6.2 offers the following updates and improvements over v6.1: - Ability to install and boot using USB thumb drive - Kernel v2.6.29 for ppc64, v2.6.27 for ppc32 - IBM Cell SDK v3.1.0.1 - Xfce 4 Desktop Environment - OpenOffice 3.0 - Mozilla Firefox v3.0.6 - Improved Wicd - Improved PS3VRAM support - Libfreevec - Gnash v0.8.4 - Over 600 updated packages in all! - Over 2500 new packages in EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux), available via yum. YDL v6.2 is available today via YDL.net Enhanced accounts which may be purchased at the Fixstars Store. us.fixstars.com/store/ The physical DVD sets and bootable USB drives will ship from Fixstars in 2 weeks.
