Hello Israel,
Could you please summarize your problems?
You had written about issue with accessing console using Ubuntu mini. Are you
talking about Mac Mini, or Ubuntu Minimal installation? Did you had try to
force ofonly for video card during boot process?
You had written about issue with power off when you had try to install random
software. Did you had checked computer battery and power source?
You had written about issue with sound. Did you had tested module loading?
This email have conversation topic "ubuntu-15.04 PPC issues", where is available Ubuntu 15.04 for PowerPC architecture?
Peter.

Hi Peter,
My issue running Lubuntu (and Mini and Debian Jessie) on PPC was much larger
than a sound issue.
There is little I can do to even boot to anything coherent. I cannot even get
to a console reliably to even begin to try to modprobe, or mess with xorg, or
any of those fine things that PPC often requires. In the Ubuntu mini, I would
run for a while fine, but if I tried to install something the computer would
simply turn off. It surely is possible the hardware is no longer working, but
I will test out some that I know to be working (12.04 worked flawlessly), and
with 14.04 I can:
sudo modprobe snd-aoa-whateverone
and mess with alsamixer.
Thanks you for your input!! I appreciate your insights and help.

As was mentioned previousely, and as is written in PPC FAQ, better is to try
load missing module.If that will not help, then there is need to try 12.04 Live
with old PowerPC sound modules and check type of hardware together with
/proc/cpuinfo for model type. From that type can be made patch for upstream
kernel as migration from snd-powerpc to sns-aoa-* is not yet done.
Have a nice day,
Peter.

Hi Fritz!
I haven't looked at that thread in quite a while (probably close to a
year...), so I will revisit it, since I am sure there have been more
suggestions and fixes. I didn't see the alsamixer thing, so I will
definitely have to give it another look!
