I suppose in the interest of closure, I should mention that I have decided to skip Ubuntu until they include the packages I require in the repositories. I am up and running on a different distro all...

Wow, can't say thank you enough. I don't have 20.04 installed yet. I am fortunate enough, however, to have a spare drive I can install 20.04 to and leave my current 18.04 intact. As soon as I am...

Wow! That would be super amazing of you!

Meh, I'll stick with 18.04. It'll be good for another 3 years or until such a time and I don't have to compile. I'm lazy and don't like frustration. :p

Ah, thanks for the info. Does that mean I'm going to have to wait until whatever version of Ubuntu or Debian officially supports those changes before I can use projectm-pulseaudio again?

I'd really like to update to Fossa from Beaver however, one piece of software I rely on is missing from the 20.04 repos. That would be the stand alone music visualizer, projectm-pulseaudio. I do...

Sorry. I missed the part about it being an iMac. Yeah, any old 2 button usb mouse will work. The first this I've ever done whenever I've gotten any kind of Mac desktop computer is ditch the crappy...

There are a few ways to right/control click on a Mac running Ubuntu. Two finger tap (not an actual click) on the touch pad should be set up by default. Assuming you're running vanilla Ubuntu with...

Just installed vanilla gnome LTS edition on my 13, 2 (late 2012) 27" iMac as a dual boot with mac os. EVERYthing worked out of the box! iSight camera, Mac edition Nvidia graphics, everything! It...

No such key 'screensaver-uses-logind'

Doesn't matter. I switched the "Lock the computer when the screensaver starts" off via the GUI. Had no effect. Computer still immediately woke...

I've already posted this problem on Linux Mint Forums and have reached a stalemate there. It would be super awesome to somehow figure out what's keeping this machine from staying suspended. So,...

Find someone that has iTunes running on either macOS or Windows and do a factory reset.

Success! Thanks for everyone's patience. Got it working by opening a terminal and:


sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then:

Section "Screen"

Monitor "Configured...

Basically, what this is telling me is, is the workaround is to change the default resolution in xorg.conf to 16. However, when I look in /etc/X11/, there is no xorg.conf to edit. So... ???

When I run glxgears in terminal, I get this in return:

Yes. I got it sorted. Thanks! :)

Amazing that I have a fully functional computer again. It seems a little resource heavy.
for example, it will not run the ProjectM visualizer via Clementine...

Thanks. I figured it out by pouring over the PPC FAQs and known issues. You beat me to it though. What wound up working was this:

So, I finally got 16.04 MATE to install on my 15" PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz, 2 GB RAM and Radeon 9700GPU. I had to run this to get it to boot to the live CD:

Google Image search an image that is the size of both monitors. For example, both my monitors are 1920 X 1200. Together, they would be 3840 X 1200. So, if I google image search "3840 X 1200...

Anyone know how I can get menu transparencies in the Cinnamon DE? Is the a setting I can adjust with dconf-editor? I just left xfce where this feature was built into the DE. It's not in Cinnamon. ...

You can change icons system wide by applying a theme. For Xubuntu, this is done in Settings Manager, Appearance, Icons. This is assuming there is already a favorable theme to choose from installed....

Choice is good. I recently virtual machined the MATE version of Linux Mint. Not bad but, as a DE, the whole Gnome 2 thing is getting pretty long in the tooth these days and, I've been using xfce...

That might do it. :-k

Here's my situation and why I want this. I'm on Xubuntu 14.04 using Xscreensaver on a dual monitor setup. I have things set up to start Xscreensaver after 10 minutes of...

Can someone that knows how to do such things help me out? I need a script that I can launch on demand that triggers a keystroke or simulates mouse movement once every 3 or 4 minutes. The reason I...
