Much better :)

How about the internet? I see it requires a Network Manager which is not included in Fedora 5

you can do it manually though:

A.1.4. Manually Configuring the Network Settings

By default, the installation system uses DHCP to automatically obtain the correct network settings. To manually configure the network settings yourself, either enter them in the Configure TCP/IP screen, or at the boot: prompt. You may specify the ip address, netmask, gateway, and dns server settings for the installation system at the prompt. If you specify the network configuration at the boot: prompt, these settings are used for the installation process, and the Configure TCP/IP screen does not appear.

This example configures the network settings for an installation system that uses the IP address 192.168.1.10:

linux ip=192.168.1.10 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1 dns=192.168.1.2,192.168.1.3

Awesome, well done :)

Maybe try VideoLan as KurowaSan suggested? It'd be interesting to see what playback performance is like on the PPE alone, though i'm not expecting much, at least at hd..

Yeah, I'm looking forward to how the VLC player performs. That's the one stop solution for all media playback on the PS3 unless somebody comes out with a coded pack.

How would one test if DVD movies are playable in Linux? Or - gasp - even a Blu-ray movie?

(I'm expecting we can't play back protected content, but I suppose it's an obvious thing to check..)

edit - btw, TTP, what cables are you using to connect to your display?

Any idea what kind of codecs will come with VLC?

Do you have any files you could throw at it to see how it performs? I am eagerly awaiting news on any media capability. Thanks for taking time to do this!

Nice to see FC running flawlessly on the PS3

i believe FC and other free Linux distros doesn't support Restricted Formats by default, you need to enable them by installing the appropriate packages.
here TTP this will guide you on installing DVD enabling packages.

use Totem Media player with other codecs to run some videos =)

TTP, i believe FC5 has Fedora Extras Enabled by default
go to the terminal then type
Code: 
yum install vlc
or
Code: 
yum -y install videolan-client
I think its supported by the Fedora Community,
Anyway could you type
Code: 
glxgears
in the terminal and see if its perform well

Zsnes is a very bad idea, IIRC it uses lots of x86 assembly. Try snes9x. Oh, and you wont get far with that i386 VLC rpm.

[edit] Wow, was I ever late with that remark! :lol

Someone on PS3forums tried it, IIRC was getting about 300fps or something, which is apparently a fraction of what you'd get with hardware acceleration. It's going through a software opengl implementation, obviously, so..

here TTP
add "Livna" repository by typing this in terminal
Code: 
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
Fedora Core 5, right? k
then do "yum" steps again, and it will be installed *i hope*

Wow. This is so exciting ! :D


FF running on the (linux) PS3... oh my :D

I need one NOW ! :p



What are your impressions so far, TTP ? Does the FF run ok ? Tried flash sites ? Is it better than the standard PS3 browser ?



And I hope u can install the player and emulators on it :D

TTP

I need to go guys.
I'll try more Linux stuff later next week. Got some work to do now ;)

Anyway, some general impressions: it's quite slow. Not badly slow, but u can feel the pain going on under the pretty desktop. Expecially when pushing it in multitasking. End of the impressions :p


One last pic cos i love this feature

I wonder if YDL will be better on PS3. (for multitasking) I guess Gnome isn't the best of the best when it comes to saving memory.

Edit: Could be the swapdisk that is too small.

Cheers TTP for the efforts - much appreciated!

I'm not all that familiar with it, but I'm wondering what ways you can configure fedora core to be more light-weight..YDL out of the box should be better from that perspective, but I'm sure things could be done to speed FC up some.

Can't wait til I get mine..

Sounds like a case of Use The Source Luke! Although, if this is Fedora rather than Yellow Dog, it won't have the proper GCC version will it?

I'm soooo pissed off my PS3 has been stuck in customs for days now, I'd soooo benchmark VLC/mplayer compiled for Cell on a gentoo right now :/
Gotta love being french.

FF is not that fast in Linux, and Adobe is still offering Flash Player 7 officially for Linux, although you could use the Beta Flash Player 9 for Linux which is better in terms of Video Quality especially in websites such as youtube, and its better because its fully supporting ALSA while FP7 is based on the old OSS sound ( it causes the audio out-of-sync ).
I'd preffer using the standard PS3 browser if it has a new Flash plugin ;).

RPM and DEB packages depends on each other, you need a repository to help you installing packages with a single click or even a single command.
I'd like to see Ubuntu on a PS3, its really something.
