Hi,

I have published a new online update.

This update is designed only for the RC 6 and It includes the following changes: New keyboard configuration tool that supports multiple layouts. Added the keyboard layout switcher. Iceweasel (Firefox) updated to the 17 release. You need to connect the PS3 to the internet, open a lxterminal and download the file: wget http://redribbon.t15.org/downloads/online-update-2012-12-02.sh Then, you must execute it: sudo sh online-update-2012-12-02.sh And wait until finished.

This update will be included on the next release candidate.

You can download it from SourceForge.

All the new features are available for the RC6 by installing the latest online update. You need to connect the PS3 to the internet, open a lxterminal and download the file:

wget http://downloads.redribbon.t15.org/online-update-2013-01-10.sh

Then, you must execute it:

sudo sh online-update-2013-01-10.sh

And wait until finished.

Hi,

I have published a new online update.

This update has been designed for the releases candidates 6 and 7. It includes the following changes: Added a new logout window that includes the "Boot GameOS" option. Added a new version of the Red Ribbon theme. Fixed the hang problems when shutting down and rebooting. You need to connect the PS3 to the internet, open a lxterminal and download the file: wget http://downloads.redribbon.t15.org/online-update-2013-01-30.sh Then, you must execute it: sudo sh online-update-2013-01-30.sh And wait until finished. Then, you must logout and login again. This update will be included on the next release of the LiveCD. Note: When you turn off the PS3 if the red light is blinking, don't worry. Now a syscall is used to simulate a problem and to turn off the PS3, but actually everything is ok .

Hi @r04drunner , thx u much for the great rr got some success on my PHAT with things also the update where it fixed the "system shutdown/reboot" bug worked fine there..however doing the same thing on a SLIM 2504 seems totally different, both are NOR models, but it keeps halting at a shutdown/reboot from linux after updating to the latest?!

another thing i'm struggle with is the "modules" -- make

noticed when installing Red Ribbon RC6 it gives 4 enties:
2x 3.5.2 asbestos
2x 3.5.2 otheros

after updating with online-update-2012-11-21.sh ( kernel 3.6.7), it gets updated but not shows 3.6.7 in Petitboot like the 3.55.2 ones, anyway it works when booting into it, again problem with shutdown/reboot on this SLIM

now i need for something the 3.6.7 linux headers+modules, because it just works there and also noticed the 3.7.2 kernel reads as linux-headers-3.7.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3 and not otheros in the end... like 3.55.2/3.6.7 kernels?!

trying whatever test on the 3.7.2 fails with "make" command, the above post/help from u fixed my initial problem on the PHAT-NOR but cannot get it working on this one...

before formatting and starting over again, maybe u can help me getting this fixed:

i have in folder "usr/src/" all linux-headers present:

linux-headers-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros
linux-headers-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-asbestos

linux-headers-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros

linux-headers-3.7.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3

and in the "lib/modules" folder i have only the modules present from:

3.5.2 and the 3.7.2, only missing the 3.6.7 modules/build, i tryed the above solution to get it fixed/linked to 3.6.7 instead but failed each time, is there an easy way to fix this? or else how should i go to get on 3.6.7-powerpc64-others cuse i checked the updates and thought... online-update-2013-01-30 was for both "rc6/rc7" meaning the "online-update-2012-11-21.sh" = 3.6.7 kernel would stay in place and only updated the fixes.. after that the Red Ribbon was at 3.7.2 and the make from some stuff complained again about make fatal error 2 no build for it...

thx in advance!

Please, can you ensure that the package red-ribbon-ps3-power was installed?

You can install it by executing the next command:

sudo apt-get install red-ribbon-ps3-power

The "-ps3" kernels are valid for Asbestos and OtherOS. Now, it is no longer necessary to have two separated kernels.

The 3.6.7 kernel probably is not installed, because it is no longer necessary.

You can uninstall the headers:

sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros

Or, if you prefer, you can install it:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros

If you post the message error, I will try to help you

think this was skipped, busy installing atm...ok done..retesting "shutdown/reboot" first
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
ok..first thing tackled not sure how it got not installed...shutdown/reboot working properly on slim 2504 now..thx for that..
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
ok, then this is the problem trying to run make for a file, should i redo the "same" steps on that previous post/help from u?!

error make:

make
make -C /lib/modules/3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3/build M=/home/tool/tool modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
sry for double post..merged anyways

the problem with "3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3" and command "make" + symlink "BUILD"?

should i do these steps again edited for "3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3"?

posted by @r04drunner :

Also, you should verify that the "build" symlink was created properly:

ls -l /lib/modules/3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3/

It should look like:

build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3

If the symlink doesn't exists or is diferent, you can create it:

sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3 /lib/modules/3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3/build

thx!

[haz367]

after some testruns on 3.7.1 and following the symlink check previous posted
it works to set it for 3.7.1 but when executing "make" on the file, the "build" dir is empty and errors on it, with 3.52 the build folder incl files obviously? but for 3.7.1 its empty

please check the logs:

trying linux-image-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros now

[r04drunner]

Hi,

Please, can you verify if both paths show the same files?

ls /lib/modules/3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3/build

ls /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc-ps3

The result should look like:

arch   build   debian   firmware  include  ipc      kernel  linux-headers.revision  mm              net      scripts   sound  usr                                                
block  crypto  drivers  fs        init     Kconfig  lib     Makefile                Module.symvers  samples  security  tools  virt

Cheers

Hi @r04drunner , no the second is empy/not there..weird thing at Petitboot its showing the kernel 3.7.1 after updating from 3.5.2 using online-update-2012-11-21.sh

and now /usr/src contains:
3.5.2 ones and 3.6.7 ones ..

please check the log:

root @red ribbon:/home/ps3# ls /lib/modules/3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3/build arch firmware Kconfig mm scripts virt block fs kernel modules.order security crypto include lib Module.symvers sound debian init linux-headers.revision net tools drivers ipc Makefile samples usr root @red ribbon:/home/ps3# ls /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3 ls: cannot access /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.1-red-ribbon-powerpc64-ps3: No such file or directory root @red ribbon:/home/ps3# cd .. root @red ribbon:/home# cd .. root @red ribbon:/# cd usr/src root @red ribbon:/usr/src# ls linux-headers-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-asbestos linux-headers-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros linux-headers-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-asbestos linux-headers-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros root @red ribbon:/usr/src#

must add, the 3.6.7 ones maybe added after testing that kernel to install:
apt-get install linux-image-3.6.7-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros

but at /lib/modules it shows only:
3.5.2 and the 3.7.1 modules + 3.7.1 build dir is empty
