I did a fresh install of Lubuntu 12.04 ppc yesterday, 25 fevr, and i'm
noting the following problems:

Login-screen:
===========

Although i chose German as default keyboard and language (Zurich,
Switzerland as region), the login screen appears in english (i'll try
to correct this by: `sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales` later on). That
should be correct by default - and in a former install (12 fevrier) it
was.

The login field has a black background with white letters (very
unusual and different from the previous install!). When i click on
High Contrast, the login field appears in what i'd consider a correct
way, i.e. white background, black letters + a viewable computer icon).


Firefox:
======

The previous problem with the incongruency between Firefox version and
language package persists - but does not appear anymore in firefox
itself (before it was there were indicated the language packages - in
my case german & english - as installed but geyed out since
incompatible with the firefox version). I checked in synaptic and
effectively firefox is v10 but the language packages are 11! For the
moment i'm helping me out with an alternative language package (from
www.fehlerhaft.de; may be also the iceweasel package from debian would
work?).


Keyboard settings:
===============

I described the problem already in another mail. Now, without doing
any changing (neither `dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` nor
`dpkg-reconfigure locales`) but only the otions done within the
installer (i.e: Language: German -german, keyboard: Macintosh german
with dead keys) the situation is like this:

Accents, dead keys, CTRL-ALT-F1 thru F6, CTRL-ALT-F7 work;
Third level chooser does not work like expected (should be the
standard Macintosh Option key = left ALT). There is a workaround this
problem (but's pretty much uncommon although i could live with if it
could be stabilized at this level):
Push fn-key, keep it down, push Option key, leave fn key and push the
key you would like to have (@, € and so on).


Console:
=======

Completely messed up. There is nothing readable, only presumeable
messed up input lines. I can enter a console with this kind of messed
up screen and get back to the desktop by CTRL-ALT-F7). The same
problem is with the logout, reboot etc.
