The weird thing is i tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and it installed with no problems at all. but 12.04 will not install and I have tried downloading a new IOS and burring at a slower speed and still get the same error.

i have a ibook g4 ppc and i installed 12.04 ubuntu it worked fine then it crashed..so i switched to 10.04 ubuntu and it works just fine. i think i read somewhere that ubuntu 12.04 isnt really good for ibook g4 ppc that lubuntu and a few others are better i just cant remember which others...i did try lubuntu and it worked very well...maybe try that one or stick with the 10.04 ubuntu..but lubuntu 10.04 and 12.04 worked fine with mine and ive tested quite a few of them on my ppc oh and 13.04 didntr work at all...just fyi

i have a ibook g4 ppc and installed 12.04 ubuntu but my problem it's that whenever I try to watch a video it shows too slow, I haven't tried any other version. I guess I will give it a try with the 10.04 and see if gets better. But I would like to know if it's posible to watch any kind of videos faster than it does.
