Re: Xorg on PowerPC

 

Walter:

Good question on the bug report, I think I posted here the issue I was
having with U-MATE 15.04 totally disintegrating on my iBook G4 due to
issues with "systemd" or some such thing . . . total loss of GUI and
ability to even log into TTY so that I couldn't use apport to get the
information out of the computer . . . so couldn't get the data to a bug
report, and therefore couldn't add a comment on QA tracker because of no
bug report . . . catch-22.

That report was received with ennui on this list . . . I had to nuke n pave
and went to 14.04 + XFCE DE installed via mini installer . . . .  Seems
like the AmigaOne guys have been working hard to get this issue with PPC
fixed, along with HH . . . .
