Does not help your plight but yes my sound works on my G4 PowerBook just played a CD with Audacious.. Yes I had to tell it to "play CD" but that is a minor thing to me. I also started the Alsamixer in terminal just to see: it came up too. Greg nm_geo -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubunt

[Lubuntu-qa] No alsamixer in Lubuntu PowerPC, no sound

2012-10-03 Thread Arild

I'd be inclined to agree with Lars if we weren't dealing with Apple PPC's. Seems to me that post 1995, the company never made the same computer twice. At one point years ago, I had a basement full of them. Difficult under such circumstances to be all things to all people, especially given that

I agree for many aspects with Lars and Jonathan. At least cd boot and installation should work out of the box. Several years ago i had an option to get a nice intel based powerbook for very cheap but i renounced because of the - at that time - keyboard hassle (german keyb here). Anyway, just a que

Very often the target of this first linux install is otherwise discarded hardware. There's a lot to be said for having the installation CDs work right out of the box. Because we do not have a foothold in the OEM market, manual installation is very often a new user's very first serious exposure to
