Folks:
I have posted on this forum previously, but today, the server wasn’t accepting my log in, then when I tried to change my password, it wasn’t accepting my password??? So, I started a new account . . . . : - 0
I have 16.04 PPC installed on a Powermac 3,1 . . . overall a very nice system; but, there have been some issues . . . a number of bug reports have been made on LP and the QA tracker . . . so far no response to them. Chiefly, there is the lack of “suspend” . . . clicking suspend the display goes black, but the computer continues to spin, and clicking or moving mouse does not revive the display, the unit has to be shut down. There is some issue with trying to shut down from the GUI; and on start up a number of errors show up, including the “no certificate in kernel” the “this is not a typewriter” and lately a “failed to clear orphaned inode” error . . . before moving to the MATE log in.
Text graphics are clear and crisp, but images are rendered less smoothly. Also, on the original install from LiveDVD clicking the “install latest updates” button did not do that . . . this is on the “Fluendo, MP3” page of the installer. Today’s updates seemed to bring some stuff that didn’t speed FF up, but, again overall the system boots and runs well on the PM . . . no boot params.
However, on my iBook G4, trying to run the liveDVD has been a different story; it boots the system, again, moving through the “kernel” error . . . says, going to “force TTY” . . . and then if I wait, it boots into a nice rendition of the GUI, and it runs well . . . until I have 3 or 4 apps open, then even with boot params for radeon, the GUI goes crashy, the mouse cursor freezes . . . and, system just slows down and becomes unresponsive . . . . Seems like something needs ajusting for 16.04 to run on the iBook.
Bug report numbers are available, but are listed on the QA tracker . . . .
