AG: I'm, um, feeling very minimized . . . hence my use of the "mini" installer . . . . But, yeah, I think in my last round of posts you mentioned that your installs had gone well . . . hard to know if this is PPC exclusive, but from the ubuntu forum thread I'm not the only PPC user who found problems with 15.04 . . . . I'm willing to futz around a bit to get a system working, but, very basic requirement . . . installer has to work . . . and I'm more in the GUI speed user, but, failing that, a TTY is second requirement . . . . And, other irritant was 3 or 4 downloads to get a matching md5sum number . . . the "resistance" level in 15.04 to PPC users is "defcon4" . . . um, "high."
So, getting back to the OP, not too much to add, but, for us in PPC in >12.04, we need to add an xorg.conf file or otherwise strange behaviors manifest . . . GUI freeze, clicking on stuff does nothing, etc. Don't know if that would help in this case . . . .
