2013-07-13 Thread Jackson Doak
I've finally got my mac mini g4 working, to an extent. It will make the chime and i hear it spinning up, but nothing appears on my screen. I also cannot eject the cd. Is the dvi port analogue only or am i doing something wrong. the monitor is 1080p if that's an issue -- Mailing list: https://lau

@James 13.04 runs fine on my MDD. I installed it from the Live iso about a week ago. I use it for all my online purchases, banking, etc., anything I need to do online where security is of utmost importance. I don't use OS X for online financial business anymore. Keith On Jul 13, 2013,

Another clue, maybe ... When I can't boot from a Daily (live or alternate), I'll reinstall the June 13 Daily Build of 13.10, since I consider that a "known entity." After reinstalling the June 13 Daily Build and getting a usable desktop, I ran Update Manager and let it get everything up to date.

I downloaded and tried to install the most recent Kubuntu PPC LiveCD Daily. I had the same result as Keith. The flashing dots screen is where I stop. I can also get into a console, but I cannot sudo restart from it: I keep getting sent back to a root prompt. I can sudo shutdown from it, however. T

@Phil As you requested yesterday, I attempted to boot the Ubuntu 13.10 Live iso. It acted the same as the Lubuntu 13.10 Live iso-- it would not progress past the text screen with the 4 flashing dots (plymouth?). For the record, I was never able to boot the Ubuntu 13.04 Live iso, either.
