Re: lubuntu powerpc desktop 20120928 SUCCESS

 

Today i did an install (with the today's daily) following exactly the
instructions of Greg (only changement: 1440x900 for the screen).
Before putting in the 'live video= ... " line i realized there is a
yaboot warning:

"Bootstrap partition type is wrong: Apple_HFS
type should be: Apple_Bootstrap"

But the boot went off anyway (may this error later on will create
problems working with ybin??)

The boot screen is not the lubuntu splash screen but a blue one with
lubuntu in monotype 16 or 18 pts. I got one error msg i was unable to
catch exactly on the fly; something like: Failed to register client to
i2c keywest

Then the desktop opened: All fine. I could start the installation
with, apparently no problems. Now, i'll have to try out what will
happen then. I'll come back to report.
