[Paul Gorski <paul@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a response to an old question, but Ubuntu runs so slowly on my G3s and G4's that it doesn't really make sense testing it.
Even if I get it running, testing is extremely slow. I'm picking up a used iMac G5 in the next couple days and might try it on that.

 

Sincerely,
Paul Gorski

It is nothing to do with lubuntu, it is asking for help with the ubuntu ppc system so they can try narrow down possible causes.


Thanks,

    i can't help but wonder why this is a failure in lubuntu. nautilus    is not the file manager nor is gedit the text editor. i would never    install these, personally. i think that lubuntu SHOULD work with    these but i wouldn't call that a critical failure on the part of the    beta. 
    
    maybe i missed something?

Thanks for the quick response on that.
              
              Sadly, I am only going to do the live session testcase for              beta 2.  I'll log my list of bugs against that so that              they are on the record.
              
              There has been no progress on my nautilus bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/945097              .  Without a working file manager it seems pointless doing              any further testing.  The Ubuntu ISO shouldn't be released              for PowerPC IMHO if nautilus doesn't work.  
              
              I'm going to fail the live session testcase and log it as              a critical bug.  I don't know if this is correct, but              there is no testcase that specifically  checks if the core              applications are working.  
              
              If the Lubuntu PowerPC guys have a bit of spare time,              could they install nautilus and gedit and see if they are              working for them?  If it is a gtk bug then it could affect              some of there applications also?
              
              Regards
