@dantevergil

Model shouldn't be the problem, I am running it on a 2004A with 120Gb (replaced with 500Gb)

Let me know if it goes wrong somewhere now it sounds you are on the right path. Always willing to help within my possibilities

[dantevergil]

hmm...unfortunately Im writing this post on /PS3/RedRibbonRC5 right now

you were right about 23.6GB..but Im also rigth about it can change nothing because RR5 could see either that way and this way no matter what size it has...
The true problem is KERNEL file as you said before...

I firstly try to change the resolution from kboot.conf but again that f uckin g permission error again prevented me to save the file..and I supposed we login as a root to the system but it seems not..so what do I do?opened the terminal and enter sudo su to make me root...hah haaa and use nano command for editing kboot.conf and it worked..
after resolution i tested some mp3 and wma files and working nice..after that tested mp4 and wmv and flv video files and working good..and tested net connection and working good..but i havent tested wifi and bluetooth yet.

After all it is good to have a RedRibbon but i prefer Ubuntu..could we change the kernel files ??? just joking

Im afraid i still continue giving you headache for sometime.. now what program add-ons should i download via synaptic package panager..for example i can play dolphin emu on my Ubuntu 11.04 natty narwhall x64 so can i download it here and play and or how can i install that ps3rsx.tar.gz or do i need install that gpu driver? vs..vs...?

Do you think should we put here a new perfect tutorial shows from the beginning to the end for those people having trouble installing linux ?

Great it works now for you

You can make a multiboot system if you want. Instead of 1 22Gb partition make 2 11Gb partitions. I have had a system with 3 different distro's (including Ubuntu 10.04 updated to 11.04) when we had the old install way with the 44 GB ps3flashh partition. After installing the distro you need to take ownership (chown command) of that partition from within a working install (Red Ribbon) and copy Graf his patched kernel to it
Red Ribbon is Debian/Ubuntu compatible. Every program that runs on Ubuntu runs also on Red ribbon. Are you able to use apt-get for the program you want if it isn't in the Ubuntu Software Center?

I think we need rsx support for Dolphin. Haven't tested it yet, only Aros (Amiga Research Operating System). Only FreeBSD has partially rsx support but haven't been on FreeBSD yet. No energy to invest in this due to personal reasons. The day before yesterday I played my first PS3 game in 7 weeks...

No need for a new tutorial. I think gitbrew's guides are enough, they only need to explain the part you have had problems with a little better. It is the point I also went wrong because i didn't look at the Print output but assumed it was 22Gb also first time.
Gitbrew is down due to server movement btw...

Enjoy your PS3 Linux and let us know if you get Dolphin running and how fast it is

Now I have an interesting problem now when i change to resolution VESA Modes 11: wxga (1280 x 768) which is the best choice for my hd ready screen(1366x768) and fits fully then SOUNDS not coming while playing musics or videos..? even i formatted ps3 and install RRC5 again to figure out the source of this problem that is changing the resolution to vesa 11:wxga mode..?because when i turned back to any resolution sounds coming as normaly again..? what the hell ..?

secondly can you give me the ubuntu iso link working like RedRibbon?you know mine is not working contains wrong kernel file..and i dont know linux i have been using ubuntu 11.04 x64 on my laptop with windows7 for two weeks..i dont know linux commands and thats why we re having difficulties installing linux and those tutorials written for people knowing linux not suitable for us

thirdly my old cfw is KMEAW 3.55 so now what is this 22GB OtherOS cfw? is it KMEAW or waninkoko or what?

fourthly im looking forward to see your answers as soon as possible

Did you try my little guide about screen resolutions and do you use HDMI?

On gitbrew there must be a guide how to install Ubuntu, sadly they are still down due to the server movement...

thirdly my old cfw is KMEAW 3.55 so now what is this 22GB OtherOS cfw? is it KMEAW or waninkoko or what?

I think you mean the Rebug OtherOS++ CFW? Rebug has a lot of interesting (debug) options like QA flagging, registering trophy's etc., if you want to mess with nice debug gameos functions this is the one you want (I'm running it also) http://rebug.me/ (for linux you have to download the Rebug with OtherOS++ support)

fourthly im looking forward to see your answers as soon as possible

Sorry, was busy with other things this morning

[dantevergil]

yes i used that scale : VESA Modes:
11: wxga (1280 x 768) which is the best suitable resolution for my screen and ps3 connected to tv's HDMI Port 1 but no sound coming with this resolution..and i can use all the other options except 12: sxga (1280 x 1024) and 13: wuxga (1920 x 1200) but not properly fit to the screen i mean there are spaces left corners..isnt there a solution for this?

secondly i can access http://portal.gitbrew.org/wikibrew/PS3:Linux via googles framebuffer technic and see ubuntu section but it goes so long and needs soooooooo many commands

How can I install ps3rsx.tar.gz via lxterminal screen with using make command Can you write here all the commands for us because there is no where showing this on the net..

I firstly have done sudo apt-get update and upgrade and downloaded just around 30 mb and some repositories not working there is nothing so much for PPC i think.. for instance how can we install flashplayer plugin for PPC ?then I downloaded VLC Player working but this time picture's not coming and sounds come even all plugins and codecs installed..

now i want to download gnome desktop via synaptic but its around 480mb and not sure if its working fast and properly with this kernel..

and at last i like your picture in your changing screen resolutions on Debian GDM3 post with two console like me i feel sure SONY loves it so much..

In stead of kboot.org there is also an option to add the screenmode at the petitboot options. something like video=ps3fb:mode:X (where X is a number like 5). Must be placed after the disk UUID.

I found this to install Ubuntu (run from petitboot shell)

# git clone git://github.com/nikitis/PS3-Ubuntu-Installer

# sh PS3-Ubuntu-Installer/ubuntu-installer.sh

(don't know if git://github is online..., if you need docs or tools, http://www.gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/ is online )

red Ribbon is made to be very small, that's why LX is used. I think you mess up Red Ribbon if you install Gnome as I remember

Isn't ps3rsx.tar.gz only the rsx documentation? Maybe I mix it up with another file, doesn't matter because you are unable to use RSX with Red Ribbon. Only the linux swap is mounted to the RSX ram automatically (fast swap ). Only FreeBSD has some RSX support but haven't looked into this. It isn't a full functional driver for what I know.

$ony loves me so much they placed me on their list because I cloned a git with keys and tools for the PS3. Found my name in their lawyers files (in the Geohot ages)

[dantevergil]

hmm. i ve already tried it before from petitboot screen as you written but it doesnt work...im bored with this resolution settings and now i using 133: 1080pf (1920 x 1080) but there are still spaces left from corners..

anyway i downloaded gnome desktop and installed it then after rebooting my gui login screen didnt come but CLI come..?but somehow i finally managed to get my lovely gnome login screen and i chose gnome desktop then loaded and running perfectly.. this made me happy because it is almost similar to my ubuntu gnome desktop.. but either lxde or gnome linux running slower than my laptop and also plays 720p videos slowly it indicates we couldnt manage to run any psx or dolphin emu with good speed even if we could install them unless we have a nice rsx driver

and thank you for ubuntu-installer.sh script i ve already checked and downloaded it before which is a automated installing system via terminal screen and needs good net connection i suppose off course you know it much more than me

and how can install adobe flash player and shockwave player on our PowerPC??

and finally this linux installing and running on ps3 event we always persisting comes to me unnecessary.. because it is running slowly and a PowerPC version and there are no drivers we can use written for ps3 last 5 maybe 7 seven years..pls do not misunderstand me but we couldnt run any program we want to run In my opinion hackers have to work for CFW not for linux..10 months passed but there is still no cfw after 3.55 and $oNY is getting far for beyond with 3.72

have a nice day..

ppc flash player: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item&px=ODkyNw (haven't tested it, think it is still beta )

Shockwave? As far as i know not available for Linux at all?

Don't know what is fast or slow for you. I mostly used it (when I had a lot more time) for AROS and some testing and to my findings it is pretty fast. Not really with 3d graphics because of no rsx so the ppc has to calculate everything, I get 11 fps with a 3d screenblanker (1920x1080P)

Within time the FreeBSD RSX driver, if complete, will be ported to the other distro's I think. Even with Gitbrew down Glevand and the other devs like Snowy are hard at work to open up the PS3 OS even more
Note: with a working RSX we can't use the RSX ram for swap anymore....

You can always test FreeBSD ofcourse.

For the resolution problem: check if your TV has an option like Dot by Dot, Native Mode, Just Scan, Cropping, or any other possible function to scale up/down the screen. My Sharp uses Dot by Dot...

Different devs (it's a nicer word, hacker sounds so psn-fanboy-like) have different interests, not every dev needs a higher firmware. For the Linux devs it is important to know how the Hypervisor works. With higher firmwares and changed security the Hypervisor works different as far as I know. A lot of work needs to be re-done.
There are CFW devs working on the new keys, sadly enough Sony understands the word Random now and they had one last hiding place left... But it isn't something the Linux devs are after, they are after the way the PS3 works in generally...

[dantevergil]

i couldnt manage to install that Lightspark for PPC even which is based on debian but i will try it later or find something new when i have a time..if it works then i ll share it in a detailed post here ..

Im 100% feel sure trying to install and run a psx or dolphin emu on Linux PPC right now is a waste of time unless we have a nice RSX or GPU driver and good Kernel file working harmonicaly just like a well matched couple..!

In the mean time our lovely devs must work only on fw issues which is exactly what we need ,
this is because running linux on PS3 is useless but a feeling of interest maybe curiosity drives us to make it happen just like me..

Moreover in todays digital world we have to interest in technology whether we want or not and vs..vs..
so it means most of the people have got their own pc's or notebooks or a similar thing which have much more capability
to run Linux in a more efficient way than our PS3..

and Would you like to give me your msn address or anyother then i ll add you as a favourite ..! there is no need to worry cause most of the time im offline...
