Hello, Isreal What video card do you have on your iBook? If it is a radeon card did you try this "live radeon.modeset=1 video=offb:off video=1024x768-32 video=radeonfb:off radeon.agpmode=-1"? You are going to have Xorg issues on 15.04 unfortunately. See this thread on the ubuntuforums. Also if you have an older iBook you may have run into a kernel issue when it comes to sound. You can read up on that here.
