> * we need ppc testers for xenial!!!!! Walter, et al: As I couldn't get Lubuntu to run in the GUI on my PM & iBook . . . problems with the GUI freezing . . . I have had U-MATE Xenial installed since Jan and largely it is "OK" in my PM, but over in the iBook, the same issue with GUI "crashing" when more than 3 pps are opened. And, the same problems with "testing PPC" remain . . . basic "lack of response" from devs on bug reports made . . . and so the "finger pointing" continues . . . devs claiming "nobody is testing" and testers such as myself, who find that "nobody is listening." I will assume that this problem extends across all PPC platforms of Xenial-- the ***chief**** problem for my linux PPC experience is the lack of a working "suspend" feature, so that I don't have to leave the computer running if I want to move away from the computer for a half an hour; but, then not wanting to have to go through the cold boot sequence . . . just to check emails, etc. And, this problem has been around for a loooonnnnnggg time in PPC-land, with various fingers pointed again; whereas, same computers, back in OSX I have "sleep" function. Posting in multiple venues of my issue in MATE garnered not a single response from any devs . . . including a mention of this in a Bug Report. Other problems I reported were quickly marked as "invalid" . . . without asking for my apport report, or one guy said in response to my problem on a PowerMac, "This isn't happening in my iBook . . . "invalid." So, if I get a chance I would be happy to get the Lu 16.04 iso and test it out on my iBook & PM . . . see how it runs . . . . Personally I think my iBook is not handling the demands of 16.04; or I could add LXDE to my PM 16.04 install . . . but, the lack of suspend means that linux isn't my "day to day" system. And, pointing the finger back . . . are the devs doing "due diligence" to find out what is being posted on various forums, or just waiting for the QA? And even there, the QA "window of attention" seems to be limited, after which, "It's too late" . . . and then reports are seemingly ignored, because now they are looking at "Beta" reports . . . so anything posted on Alpha is now "over." All of this, even this email, take precious time . . . apparently there "aren't testers for PPC" . . . but, over in Ubuntu Apple User sub-forum there is a long thread on "Testers wanted for (Xu)(Lu)(MATE) 16.04PPC" . . . and the AmigaOne guys are working hard testing Xenial out . . . but nobody seems to "know."
