    I running Xenial on my iBook G4. Sadly I do not have 3D acceleration. I am still getting the r300 driver error

    Code:
    rican-linux@lubuntu-ppc:~$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo |grep render
    libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri/tls/r300_dri.so

    I didn't have any luck with the 16.04 live image on my iMac G4, either. During the boot process it just stops, even with the video=ofonly flag (which is how I am able to run the Lubuntu 14.04.2 live image).

    Folks:

    I'm with Luigiburdo & Roger-H on this one . . . downloaded the daily of U-MATE 16.04 on my PowerMac 3,1 Sawtooth, now with upgraded cpu running 800 MHz . . . . I tried the boot params that worked for 14.04 "live-nosplash-powerpc videofb:1024x768-32@60" as well as trying abtabt's suggestions . . . . Each time ***huge*** list of SQUASHFS errors and a bunch of I/O errors . . . . I think I tried yesterday's daily and then zsync'd it again today . . . yesterday's got me to a beautiful black screen that occasionally "pulsed" or, um "throbbed" . . . depending on which word you like better . . . . Today just gave me a verbose log that basically . . . "crashed." Trying abtabt's boot params "live nomodeset video=offbff single" [just like that, no hyphens] . . . brought me the same long list of errors, the cd didn't stop spinning . . . no chance to hit RETURN and try to "modprobe radeonfb" . . . probably, in my case . . . with the ATI RAGE video card, seemed to work with "radeon" . . . .
