graphical issues
Hi everyone, I've installed 11.04 on my Powerbook G4, and so far I like it. :)
However, I'm unable to get hardware acceleration to work at this point.
Also, I see graphics distortion in certain...
I don't think you'll be able to do that with yaboot alone. it's just for booting a kernel image, if i understand correctly. could you possibly boot from a usb drive? there may be an Open Firmware...
i wasn't aware that you could use sudo in yaboot. did you change your yaboot.conf file and run "sudo ybin" instead? if you made an error in the conf file, and then ran that command, you may have made...
Brightness works for me. Try modprobe-ing i2c-dev and/or pmu_battery.
If that fixes it, then add them to /etc/modules .
I run a 2004 PPC Powerbook G4 with Ubuntu 10.10. Performance is good, but I've had to make tweaks, like disabling KMS with my radeon graphics card in order to get visual effects to work.
EDIT: it...
Displaying Battery Charge in Indicator Area
I'm on a Powerbook with 10.10 installed. The battery icon doesn't show up in the indicator area next to the sound volume when I'm unplugged unless I select to have the icon displayed even when my...
did you choose an option to encrypt your disk, or did you do it manually?
in order to boot up your encrypted drive, the kernel needs to be able to decrypt it. if the kernel is encrypted, there is...
have you tried disabling KMS on your graphics card? I have a radeon card. Put this in /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf :
options radeon modeset=0
Then reboot. Visual effects work for me after...
By the way, is the screen totally black, or does it show grub, which shows nothing to boot?
Yes, a reinstall does sound like a possible solution, but you might be having hardware issues instead.. it would be really good if you could get the hardware test to boot up somehow. Did you try...
I think Core 2 Duo is 64 bit, not 32. You should try the 64 bit version instead. If you want, try looking at "about this mac", "more info" and seeing if it says which it actually is. Good luck!
Interesting... well, I used that iso and it was fine for me. It shouldn't be any different than installing and then upgrading with apt-get. Not every package is working for me right now, such as...
Well my guess is that the extras repository doesn't exist for powerpc users. (Although I may be wrong.) I looked at the software sources list that I had in Lucid, and I didn't find the word "extra"...
Hm. Did you use select that as an option, or did you do it manually? Because it's important to have at least an unencrypted /boot partition so that the kernel can start up and decrypt the rest of the...
if it's over 702 MB, you'll have to "overburn" it.
I did it using the "wodim" command, and added "overburn" and "sao" options to make it overburn. check out the manpage, if you want to do it with...
and/or you could try posting the error messages. :)
man fblevel

The following article mentions a "fakebios" option for GRUB2. Maybe you could try it out. The rest of the article isn't related to what you need to do though.

trj021782 gives pretty good advice. one thing I would change is that I would unpack the archive in a folder that lives in the home directory, not the system path /usr/local/. So the following...
I'm not really knowledgeable in this area. Are you getting any errors on bootup? I'm not really sure which logs to look at, but I'm curious...
what's the output of:

what's the result of:
apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-radeonhdif it's not installed, you could always try the following:

This seems strange to me. If you can't use the option key.. Do you at least get the clickable button to choose the cd when you use the option button? If not, I'd guess it's not a problem with the...
Hm, maybe there's a password protecting your firmware..
Try booting-up holding the option button. If it asks for a password, you'll have to get the password or reset it.
