Ok,
I created an installation cd of 10.04 powerpc. I managed to get the mac to boot off the cd and ubuntu ran successfully. I have tried to install the software onto the hard disk but have hit a snag.
The software appeared to install correctly but I cant boot into the gui.
The system boots up as far as the ubunto logo and moving dots. When these disappear I get a blank screen and the computer just sits there.
If I hit ctrl-option-f1 I can get to the terminal.
I am told it might be a problem with the xorg.conf file (which the system does not generate) The graphics card appears to be a ati m7 lw radeon mobility 7500.
Any ideas ?
