for me the installation went well - PowerMac G5 , 7.3 , DualProcessor
and Nvidia 5200 FX.

After installation , boot process with various results - striped colours
, black screen, etc.


What helped me was to edit yaboot.conf

following this guide here

http://www.mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1289


so i was able to boot up and login normally and use computer.

but after "apt-get update"and "upgrade" i had to download many packages
and afterwards i experienced kernel panic


kernel that was installed was number 3.13.

Installer used was 14.04 LTS Alternate Installer for PowerPC

Title:
  Installation of Lubuntu 14.04 fails on PowerPC computer

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At the beginning of the installation of Lubuntu 14.04 Alternate
  PowerPC on an iMac G3 500 I get the error message

  I have a working installation of an old (no longer supported) version
  of Lubuntu on the harddrive so I don't think it is related to hardware
  failure.
