I just installed Yellow Dog Linux for PS3, but dont have a USB keyboard. I want to go back to the Sony GameOS, but do not know how? Any advice is appreciated.


I am posting in off topic, because I need quick replies.

Thanks!

turn system off. when system is booting up, hold finger over the power button on the front of the console, until you hear two beeps(?). This resets settings, and will bring up the system OS.
Not sure if there is any other way. And I think that means any settings you change, will revert back to default...

I did remove the HDD, then powered it on and Linux boots up. I will try your method.


EDIT: Worked very well. Thank you!

15 minutes. But I dislike walmart and the one and only keyboard they sell is junk, the keys stick when you depress on them.

Drive over to Target and buy a USB keyboard.

Target is 45 minutes away.

Start drivin'

I have a dozen or so IBM Clicky keyboards; I just love them, would a PS/2 USB adapter work with PS3?

Never hurts to try. Props to you for installing Linux on the PS3 :D

Tap it gently with a mallet.

Why not get a native USB IBM Model M clone. Built in the USA;)

You may not recognize the name, but if you know IBM or Lexmark, you already know a lot about us. Unicomp was established in 1996 when we purchased keyboard technology from Lexmark International, the former IBM Division and long-time maker of high quality keyboards for IBM. Today at Unicomp, we continue the tradition of making quality keyboards.
