Hello again, I've mentioned or requested that your call for testers should
be posted on the Ubuntu Apple Users forum . . . as of 5 minutes ago I don't
see any post there from you or anyone calling for 14.10 testers. A couple
days ago I posted a

Done. Probably all I have time for today.

Forwarding this: top posted comment: Boris R. has been giving me some
pointers towards getting 14.04 PPC into more use-able state on my G4 iBook
. . . seems to have made a difference using "Linux video=ofonly
radeon.agpmode=-1" at the second Yaboot window . . . now I would wonder

Boris, et al:
Looking at the PPC options for this phase, it looks like there is only an
"alternate installer" option for Lubuntu, and a server option . . . .
Unfortunately I've got no spare unused HDs sitting around to try out an alt
installer on; after last time where I was trying to do a test of

@BR:
Alt install was supposed to be just the files to be installed, not bootable
as "live desktop" . . . . So, should fit on CD and simply run the install;
downside, no way to test it out before installing it.

So there is now a live desktop 14.04.2 for ppc available to download and
test? And there is reasonable expectation that it will at least be
boot-able?

Good question on the bug report, I think I posted here the issue I was
having with U-MATE 15.04 totally disintegrating on my iBook G4 due to
issues with "systemd" or some such thing . . . total loss of GUI and
ability to even log into TTY so that I couldn't use apport to get the

As though by "magic" . . . . : - )
