Dear phillw,

[PPC] Testers needed for PowerPC 12.04 - in the Apple Users forum of Ubuntu

Here is the message that has just been posted:

Testing LiveDVD Lu 12.04 on iBook G4 993MHz & 612??MB RAM dual USB:

Ran a second experiment on the LiveDVD burned recently as mentioned in
previous post, still no time to burn doing an installation.  And overall it
does boot up with just the word "live" . . . no other boot parameters
needed.  But, checking for "Suspend" which is important for me . . . there
was no tab for "suspend"???  Clicking on Hibernate brought--"not
authorized" whatever that might mean.  And, no biggie, wireless is not
working--"b43--not found, device not ready" . . . probably needs a
driver?????? IMHO.

But, perhaps a little more concerning is while looking at a photo filled
web email page in FF, the DVD drive started chattering, fan started blowing
pretty hard, and then lost control of the mouse while trying to click on
stuff . . . had to shut it down.  This same loss of mouse control happened
when I was testing a Ku LiveDVD quite awhile back.  Would that mean that
the iBook would require an xorg.conf file to be installed to keep
everything under control??  Possibly . . . it could be that the installer
would straighten all of that out during the install, but, as I mentioned I
don't have the time to take that gamble and then need to spend time to fix
it . . . so I'm on the fence on the iBook--maybe later in the year there
will be more time for fiddling around.

 If I ever get my iMac back running the Xu/Lu system already I would be
happy to try to hook it up as an official "tester" . . . as last we stood,
it probably needs a change of xorg.conf file, but it won't run long enough
to do . . . so it's out of the running for PPC test champion award . . . .

e.e.p.
