Hi All,

I have some good news for the Power Mac users. Lubuntu 15.04 PowerPC daily build ISO was released yesterday.

Link: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/

Download: vivid-desktop-powerpc.iso

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE test this ISO.

FYI: Srtest tested the RC1 of kernel 4.00 with Lubuntu 15.04 PowerPC yesterday.

Quote Srtest:

Kernel 4.00 RC1 boots ok, although somewhat slower than the blazing 3.19. Here is a desktop pic. You can see the nice colors on GLX gears test, VLC playback and STK while there are wrong colors on the FF start page. Strange isn't it?

@Srtest: Thank you for testing!

I also test Debian Sid PowerPC. Iceweasel 33.1-1 has right colors. Unfortunately iceweasel 35.0.1-1 is only for amd64 and i386 available currently.



Please test the development version 15.04.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Christian

It is my understanding that although their are daily Lubuntu ISOs being, er produced daily, there will, in fact, be be no PowerPC final release for Lubuntu 15.04.

The only distro with plans to release an ISO is ubuntu-mate......that's the one to test!...in fact tonight if possible so it makes beta!

Bad news Christian.
Mate have the same issue of Lubuntu 15.04 ... :
Error on Rtc0 device during boot
Totally Glitched and Unusable gfx on Nvidia 7800gtx
and Black only screen on Radeon.
The only thing that is working is the mate logo.

Thank you for your effort.

Could you test it with another kernel? For example with an old kernel or with a self compiled kernel.

@All

For clarity, Ubuntu MATE is now an official member of the Ubuntu family.

Ubuntu MATE 15.04 Beta 1 successfully installed on iBook G4: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communit...79007926658904

Hi there,
I'm trying to instal MATE on G5 dual 2.3GHz, geforce 6600 pci-e and 2GB of RAM but no luck
My computer freezes during the installation (gets black screen and nothing happens).

Kristoffer
