[Bug 1377878] Re: PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

 

Why is doing anything on launchpad always a battle?   This is not going
to be fixed in the linux kernel or the radeon xorg driver.  Never ever
ever ever.  It is just a waste of time to pretend it will.  The only way
to fix this is to force pci mode.  The only way to tell users to do this
is through a boot message.

I give up.

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?
