I see... However, I only have an Intel Mac around - i'm guessing the partition map is different than that used on the Intel macs so I'm not sure how to best get the disk formatted.

I see. So you...

Hi All,

So... I'm not sure what the issue is. I formatted the SSD w/ OS X Disk Utility on my MacBook Air, and it's recognized as HFS. But... still the Ubuntu Installer doesn't seem to detect it....

Thanks! You made my morning... I was thinking that I'd have to send the drive back, etc etc, or that maybe my G5 somehow didn't support SSDs. I look forward to working on it this evening! I'm excited...

Oh is that right? Just for the installer to *detect* a hard drive, that drive must be formatted in HFS?

But wouldn't the Ubuntu installer let me format the disk?

Anyone know what the issue might be? I'm trying to install a fresh install of Ubuntu on a "factory fresh" SSD. I installed it in the iMac, but Ubuntu says it can't detect the drive... booting from...

Hey guys!

I know this post is basically a year old, but I'm about to get Ubuntu up and running on my iMac G5 17"...

and i want to know... what's better now on PPC? Gnash? Lightspark?

MintPPC

Does that mean I'll have to use Unity 2D instead?

Hi All!

Well, I'm trying to get Ubuntu 12.04 up and running on my iMac G5, and I'm not having too much success. So if I just do a default install of 12.04 on my G5, i get the following screen:
...

Is there a wifi usb adaptor that works?

:-)

I'm excited... I hope it all works relatively well!

Woah you can upgrade the CPU?? Will you send me a link to compatible CPUs / instructions??

Did these work?

FWIW,

Could this be a GNOME issue? I was having the same issue with the newest version of Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu), but I recently switched to XFCE... and now the issue is gone! Any ideas?

doesn't this just revert to older drivers? I have to think there would be a bit of a performance degradation.

Up until a couple days ago, I have not been using my netbook much. I was waiting to update it with a special BIOS that will support power management. The BIOS has been updated, and I put a fresh...

Yeah it really is a great little notebook. Seems much speedier than the Atom alternatives. I'm interested in trying out the newest version of Suse linux w/ Meego on it, but for now, i think i'll...

Awesome - i see it moving up from 800mhz to 1.2ghz as needed - very nice. My notebook has become that much more likable now that i've got power management working!

Alrighty!

I used winphlash - SUCCESS. Thanks so much for attaching the files. The computer restarted without issue. I'm actually going to keep the default Vista partition on there (tiz a SMALL...

Right... there are other options other than the specific method I mentioned, but the short story is that if I flash the BIOS, then I'll just be able to be a happy Ubuntu user and never worry about...

Okay cool. I just downloaded this big zip file. So if I just re-flash my BIOS with the BIOS1 file in your zip package, all will "just work" out of the box, and there will be no need for custom...

Can someone set me straight? I'm a bit confused...
- What is a DSDT file?
- With the powernow fix in the most recent version of the kernel, do I still need to do modifications to the BIOS / DSDT...

That would be great. I would love it if you could post the modified BIOS. So if I grab your modified BIOS, flash it to my brother's netbook, and then put a fresh install of Ubuntu on his netbook with...

Is this true?? Will the most recent version of ubuntu w/ the most recent kernel "just work" with this AMD cpu!?
