Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Lubuntu 12.04 ppc: no b43legacy support on live-cd

Open source vs proprietary. That's discussed somewhat in the Gentoo link. There is an open source driver for some of the Broadcom cards, but they all need to extract the Broadcom propriety firmware from the Broadcom software to work. There's no way that proprietary firmware is going to ship w

[Lubuntu-qa] 12.04 ppc - kernel update does not work correctly

This might be a general problem between all flavours of ubuntu ppc and yaboot: Even with the fresh install which still came with kernel 3.2.0-16 the update to 3.20-17 didn't pass like expected The 3 files (symlinks!) vmlinux, initr.img and initrd.img.old were put on the mount level ( / ) and not

Regarding the b43 support, what you may have seen previously was the app (b43-fwcutter) that extracted the driver from the Windows firmware driver. The app may have been included, but not the propriety driver. The link Phill sent, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx, expla

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Lubuntu 12.04 ppc: no b43legacy support on live-cd

Ok, that's a reason. But curiously a former ubuntu ppc live-cd (2008 or so) had it on the cd. Anyway, if it's not possible to put it on the cd, there should be something like an instruction how to get and install it. May be indicating different options like: - internet connection sharing connecting

Some add-on re the problem with the black background of the login-field . . . . Working with the recent fresh install i see, there are several problems which pop up with a black background, which makes it pretty difficult to work with. I list them: Evince (curiously: epdfview shows up correctly!)
