Aere, Nio, et al: In the interest of science and curiosity I downloaded the ubuntu mini iso, changed name to .dmg burned it to CD on my 450Mhz Powermac, and ran the install in the iBook . . . ~3 hours to complete . . . and, since I haven't had a GNOME DE in quite awhile I went for that . . . . It's a bit "obtuse" using the debian installer, it seemed to go OK . . . but, only boot params that were "accepted" was "install video=ofonly" . . . would not accept the "video=ofonly radeon.agpmode=-1" params that were needed for the previously installed Lu 14 & U-MATE systems . . . .
So I ran the install, seemed to declare it "successful" . . . it got only to the splash "Ubuntu Gnome" on the first boot, no mouse cursor . . . shut it down and rebooted . . . "found display" there was some errors of course about the "broadcom" . . . .then a black screen . . . no mouse. Rebooted back into OSX. Further investigation might happen later today, possible qa tracker report sometime much later . . . . Was trying for the GNOME F Feet screensaver via actual GNOME DE . . . . I'll see what I can think of to fix it . . . looks like LXDE will be coming to the rescue on the next Nuke n pave . . . . : - ) F On Sat, Apr 11, 2015 at 10:47 PM, Nio Wiklund <nio.wikl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Den 2015-04-12 04:53, Aere Greenway skrev: > > On 04/11/2015 05:46 PM, Fritz Hudnut wrote: > >> Over in my MBPro I've had numerous LM versions and out of a fair > >> number of installs the MATE flavors have been the most stable, so I > >> went for it on this one . . .
