@wxl:

I sent this to "QA" . . . but, right, this is the bug . . . that my
iBook found earlier in the month, and then again a few days ago.  What I
didn't mention was what Lars also mentioned, when the mouse cursor
"clenches" to drag the window . . . it doesn't "unclench."  But, it is a
"deal breaker" in terms of running 14.10 on the iBook . . . getting that
the devs don't seem too concerned, but unlikely that I would take the
time to change the video card from radeon to something else . . . .

=================================from the other day:

"Ran the 14.10 ppc live 10/16/14 "Alpha powerpc" iso this AM . . .
briefly.  But, on my iBook G4 w/640+-MB RAM . . . had to use the radeon
fb boot parameters, booting with "live" does not work . . . in any
event, when I got to the desktop the first thing I wanted to check was
the "window dragging" issue that has been a problem for awhile . . .
even 14.04 is not too outstanding.  However, launching FF the window
opens . . . bottom left says "transferring data" . . . which went on for
several minutes . . . could not enter "Gmail" in the searchbar window .
. . then found that I could do nothing anywhere else . . . "DE frozen" .
. . I think I filed a bug about this in a recent test???

Rebooted back, and tried the menu, which opened . . . I then opened the
File manager . . . clicking on stuff in the window . . . did not succeed
. . . DE again Frozen . . . only way out is shut down.  I'll try to get
to the QA tracker thing, but, really seems like I've been here before .
. . the things I've found as issues . . . remain."

Title:
  PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the
  mouse pointer.  And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened
  to have at the time it froze.  The steps I have to cause the freeze
  are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run
  Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox.  It will freeze every time then.
  Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable.  What kind of
  information can I collect and how?
