Hi Adam,

please get yourself registered up on https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa then
I can pass you the thread we are using for each variant of ppc in order
that the very few ppc testers can confirm each others bugs.

I've seen noticed that a couple ppc machines seem to have a still the black
on black on theme, but Raphael needs as much information as possible to
solve this as he does not have access to ppc machine.

I know this may sound daft, but when ever reporting a bug, please do file a
bug report using apport if it is a graphics thing, report it as
lubuntu-artwork, we can always re-assign it later.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport

that link does explain about why it is important to use it. Once done, just
email back the bug number to the lubuntu-qa mailing list & one of us will
check it has arrived correcrtly.

Regards,

Phill.
