The (PowerPCFAQ) states that there are notable absences of popular apps for the PPC architecture, with Skype being one of them. And, according to Skype's Wikipedia entry, Skype:
Though Skype's...
Hmmm... well, can you determine if this problem is present in other operating systems (eg. Windows) or perhaps a different, non-Ubuntu-based distro (Debian, Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, etc.)? If the...
You might want to refer to the last post of this thread from the user Chuckles59h on the Lonovo Forums...

Well, if FN+F5 doesn't work, you could try this workaround... "soft-unblocking". Here's the manual page for rfkill:
So, you could use:
sudo rfkill unblock all
Or, if you just want to...
At the risk of (me) sounding dumb, I wonder if you could use the "Force Version" feature in Synaptic... I remember using that a while back when I had two versions of MESA-related files installed...
Great news! Have fun with your new setup!
I'd love to help you, but I don't own any intel macs... though, having said that, presumably all you'd need to do is boot off of your 12.04 disc (or USB flashdrive, if you've burned the ISO onto...
When people say to 'comment' some things out, that means to simply put a hash mark/pound sign (#) at the very beginning of the lines they appear in. This tells the system to ignore those particular...
When you use nano to open a file that already exists, you can usually just press CTRL+x (denoted as "^x") to exit the file, and before it completely exits, it'll give you the chance to save the file,...
I'm surprised that my solution is the recommended one. >_< Oh well, I hope it works alright for you, AndyInMokum.
Just to be sure you haven't skipped any important steps, have you tried the advice shown here on the PowerPCFaq?

Did you burn that ISO DVD from within OSX? Perhaps you did it wrong. Do you see any kind of errors while you're trying to boot the DVD? Are you certain you're holding down the 'C' or 'D' key while...
Couldn't an owner of such a setup (TWO graphics cards; or a system with an on-board graphics chipset + a separate graphics card), make use of both cards simultaneously with the appropriate xorg.conf...
You said that you already installed 12.04 onto your iMac. Did you apply all the available software updates? If you did, there would be no real reason to download that...
Could you perhaps share the link or links of those sites that you were reading? The phrase "Mac-related" could arbitrarily mean anything, depending on how one looks at it.
If you're feeling adventurous, you could always try the PPC iso image for 13.04. It worked fine for me on my iMac G3, except that the mouse kept stalling, even if I just move it around in circles on...
I appreciate your effort, e.e.p. But I think I'll settle with XFCE after all. Seeing as how I've gotten so familiar with Linux Mint 13 XFCE on my x86 PC. It's such a shame though; I mean, despite...
What I Did:
I installed E17 via Synaptic (just to see what else would be installed along with it). I also made certain that I have GPU acceleration by downgrading MESA to 7.11.x (needed for the...
I guess I'm a little out of my league since I don't own a G4-based Mac. However, I do not believe you need libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg_7.11-0ubuntu3.2_powerpc.deb. Also, I think the problem lies in the...
I think you'd have better results if you downloaded ALL 4 .deb files and made extra certain that they are all of the same version. I'd imagine that looking at such a long list of packages can be a...
Exactly which steps on this page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues) did you follow?
have you tried to run libreoffice from the Terminal? If you do, you should be able to see more detailed errors... pay close attention to the names of any packages or package names it mentions.
I'm currently alternating between 12.04 and 13.04 (doing complete wipes and reinstalls on my hard drive.... for simplicity's sake, I don't bother with dual-boot configs).
Is there any way to get...
EDIT: Never mind, for some reason, when I choose expert installation, I'm able to proceed past the selection of mirrors... but still the only one that works is the one from the United Kingdom...
