Hi there,
I've released openSUSE 11.1-1 for the AmigaOne X1000.
Download: openSUSE-11.1-1-x1000-ppc64.tar.gz "experimental"
Known problems:
- SB600 Soundchip doesn't work - 3D acceleration doesn't work
Be aware, that openSUSE is experimental and isn't supported.
Here are the installation instructions for openSUSE (based on the Fedora installation instructions by Pat Wall. Thanks to Pat )
You must have another Linux distribution already installed such as Debian, MintPPC, Ubuntu etc in order to install openSUSE 11.1-1. Login to your current Linux distribution, e.g. Debian or Ubuntu and create an ext3 partition of at least 20GB using GParted or similar tool of your choice. You should also create a Linux swap partition.
Login to your current Linux distribution, e.g. Debian or Ubuntu, and open a terminal to complete the following steps. Become the root user by entering Quote:
return
Enter your root password return Download the kernel tarball from the following URL: kernel-3.10.3-6.17-2-powerpc-x1000-ubuntu.tar.bz2 Unpack the kernel tarball and copy it to your CF Card or USB Stick so it will be available to select when booting from CFE: Quote:
tar jxvf kernel-3.10.3-6.17-2-powerpc-x1000-ubuntu.tar.bz2 | return
Quote:
cp /path/to/vmlinux-3.10.3-2-ubuntu /path/to/cfcard |
return
Create a mount point on which to mount the openSUSE tarball: Quote:
return
Mount the partition where you want to install openSUSE. Quote:
mount -t ext3 /dev/sdXX /mnt/opensuse |
return
Download the openSUSE tarball from the following URL: openSUSE-11.1-1-x1000-ppc64.tar.gz (The compressed image is 1.1GB in size and will expand to 3.1GB ) Copy the tar.gz file to the partition where you want to install openSUSE. Quote:
cp openSUSE-11.1-1-x1000-ppc64.tar.gz /mnt/opensuse |
return
Change to /mnt/opensuse. Quote:
return
Unpack the tarball. Quote:
tar zxvf openSUSE-11.1-1-x1000-ppc64.tar.gz | return
Configure fstab to reflect your system e.g. replacing the strings with your own root partition and swap partition respectively. In this example /dev/sdb2 is the root partition and /dev/sdb3 is the swap partition. Quote:
nano -w /mnt/opensuse/etc/fstab |
Quote:
/dev/sdb2 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/sdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0
|
You can now reboot into your openSUSE installation:
Quote:
return
Booting openSUSE To boot openSUSE at the CFE prompt you will need to do the following: Remember to substitute the root partition (/dev/sdb2 in this example) that you installed openSUSE on. (Note this is typed as a single line at the CFE prompt) Quote:
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb2" |
Boot the provided vmlinux-3.10.3-2-ubuntu kernel from a usb stick or compact flash card. Quote:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-3.10.3-2-ubuntu |
(compact flash card)
Quote:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-3.10.3-2-ubuntu |
(USB disk)
openSUSE will now boot to the “Shell Login” Screen.
Login into openSUSE with the administrator account root.
The default root password is: amigaone (all lower-case)
Change the root password to the password of your choice. Quote: return
Enter your new password and confirm. While still logged in as root you will need to setup X11. Quote:
return
Configure your display, the resolution and the colors.
Save you configuration.
Start the KDE Display Manager with
Quote:
You can login with the user "amigaone".
The default password is: amigaone (all lower-case)

Have a lot of fun with openSUSE. Be aware, that openSUSE is experimental and isn't supported. Last edited by xeno74 on 28-Sep-2013 at 11:14 PM. Last edited by xeno74 on 28-Sep-2013 at 10:36 PM.

| Hi All,
I've ported the openSUSE kernel 3.9.8.1 for openSUSE 12.3. I've done the following steps:
1) I have downloaded the openSUSE kernel sourcen 2) I have patched it with the 3.9.8 nemo patch 3) I have merged the openSUSE config with Pat's config
Download: kernel-3.9.8.1-x1000-opensuse-ppc64.tar.bz2
Rgds, Christian

Thanks for all the great work. Is OpenSUSE somewhat "lighter" (GUI, resources hog) then Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
How does it compare to Linux Mint 11 PPC?
Is it fully supported by inserting X1000 3.10.xx kernel?
Is there a simple procedure how to compile new kernel under already installed Ubuntu 12.04? _________________ Future Acube and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionals. Learn it harder way! |

Ubuntu 12.04.3 is the best choice for the AmigaOne X1000. It's very stable and with the new Ubuntu Kernel 3.10.15 the best Linux system for the X1000. It includes the latest Firefox and Thunderbird etc. openSUSE is a experimental and unstable system for experienced users. It included the powerful YaST configuration program. It's only suitable for learning and experimenting. It's for professional users. Linux Mint 11 is a good choice too.

openSUSE 12.3 and 11.1 are compatible with the Kernel 3.10.xx. But for openSUSE 12.3 is the best option, to use the new openSUSE kernel 3.9.8.1.

There are compile instructions in the Linux manual by A-EON.

| By the way openSUSE 12.3 isn't "lighter" than Lubuntu 12.04.3 LTS.
openSUSE 11.1 provides KDE 3 and is a bit lighter than openSUSE 12.3 with KDE 4.

Thank you Xeno for direct answers, I know its inserted during install, but my LTS 12.04 kernel looks older and I wonder can I manually update just the kernel with 3.10.xx
I do know LTS has most recent software installed, but I really dislike Unity (being MATE user on LinuxMint x64) and I suppose kernel and software can be inserted to Mint PPC 11 too.
I have just been informed that I have been enabled to writte in X1000 forums. See you there! _________________ Future Acube and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionals. Learn it harder way! |

| Would you like sound on openSUSE 11.1?
If yes then you have to install the openSUSE kernel: kernel-3.9.8.1-x1000-opensuse-ppc64.tar.bz2. Copy the kernel vmlinux-3.9.8.1-opensuse to the CF card and the modules directory 3.9.8SuSE to /lib/modules. Please reboot the AmigaOne X1000 and choose openSUSE 11.1 from the CFE boot menu. Login as root and type:
Quote:
Start YaST2 and configure the soundchip with PulseAudio.
Have a lot of fun with openSUSE 11.1.

| openSUSE 11.1:
Sorry I have forgotten to tell you that you have to create/edit a cfe entry for the openSUSE kernel.
openSUSE 12.3:
Please install only 32-bit packages with YaST2 or zypper because 64-bit packages won't work. The PA6T is not compatible (enough) to POWER4 which is the minimum requirement for 64-bit openSUSE 12.3 to work. _________________ www.amigalinux.org |

| Hi All,
I've released a new tar file of the older version 11.1 of openSUSE.
New:
- sound support configured (SigmaTel STAC92HD700) - added modules directory for the X1000 Linux kernel 3.9.8.1SuSE - updated Firefox to 10.0.7 ESR - added a lot of packages especially the very well documentation of openSUSE
Screenshot:
Download: openSUSE-11.1-2-x1000-ppc64.tar.gz
It requires the openSUSE kernel for the AmigaOne X1000: kernel-3.9.8.1-x1000-opensuse-ppc64.tar.bz2
Have fun with openSUSE 11.1-2.
All the best, Christian
