    Lightbulb [PPC] (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 16.10 testing

    Hi All,

    I successfully updated my ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS PowerPC to 16.10 Yakkety Yak on my AmigaONE X1000 today. I want to start some testing.

    Update instructions for (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE): forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz

    Issues

    I haven't found any issues. It works very well!

    Tests

    • Xorg 1.18.3 works
    • Hardware 3D acceleration works without any problems with the official Mesa 11.2.1 (Gallium 0.4 on AMD BARTS DRM 2.43.0)
    • Compiz works
    • YouTube HD videos work with ViewTube in fullscreen!!!!!! (High Definition MP4 VLC HD MP4)
    • Sound works
    • Network works




    Have a nice day!

    Cheers,

    Christian
