Re: [Lubuntu-qa] PPC LiveCD black screens, makes install unusable

It completed just fine. nm_geo On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 9:33 PM, ∅ maps.backw...@gmail.com wrote: …of course there is no Lubuntu desktop ISO for any arch that's any different from 20120222. 20120223 should be something like 10-11 hours old by now. i'm not sure what's up with this. wxl On 02/23/2012 08:28 PM, Greg Faith wrote: Still the same as yesterday.

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] PPC LiveCD black screens, makes install unusable
That's what I mean. That's why it's Still the same as yesterday. Yesterday's build is the same as today's.
