| [19:33] <Tommaso> I put lubuntu 12.04 on to my iMac G3 and i managed to install it i think but now i have booted it up and it seems to be stuck on something, it says lubuntu at the top and has the loading dots bujt the background is black and you can enter text. Any ideas?? | |
| [19:34] <holstein> Tommaso: graphics driver support.. bad hardware... loose connection | |
| [19:35] <Tommaso> holstein: Could you please give some more detail? i only have 128MB of RAM which could affect things | |
| [19:35] <superdmp> most likely graphics driver support; the hardware's all fine | |
| [19:37] <Tommaso> superdmp: what does that mean? | |
| [19:38] <holstein> Tommaso: the driver in the kernel from lubuntu 12.04 ppc that you are using doesnt support the graphics hardware you are using | |
| [19:38] <holstein> Tommaso: that is just a guess.. what would i do? make a custom xorg.conf specifying the vesa driver | |
| [19:38] <superdmp> we know the hardware is fine because it worked as expected in Mac OS X, but if the computer's graphics controller is not properly supported by the software you will get odd results | |
| [19:39] <Tommaso> holstein: i'm not sure what that means | |
| [19:39] <holstein> Tommaso: the graphics driver isnt supporting your hardware | |
| [19:39] <holstein> Tommaso: you can specify the vesa graphics driver | |
| [19:39] <superdmp> Tommaso: try booting from the Lubuntu CD again, and ask it to run in Live mode from the CD | |
| [19:40] <Tommaso> holstein: ok thank you | |
| [19:41] <superdmp> Tommaso: hit Alt+Ctrl+f4 | |
| [19:41] <holstein> Tommaso: you can try the live CD as superdmp is suggesting.. holding shift,, you can get to an option under an F6 menu called "nomodeset". bascially safe gaphics mode | |
| [19:42] <holstein> Tommaso: with hardware of that vintage, i usually load up live CD's til something "just works" and go with it.. | |
| [19:42] <Tommaso> holstein: ok | |
| [19:43] <superdmp> Tommaso: http://www.andybarratt.co.uk/recycle-imac-g3 | |
| [19:43] <holstein> http://karkuta.drivehq.com/ for example | |
| [19:44] <superdmp> Tommaso: quote: "Ubuntu won’t work straight off the disk with the iMac G3 as it can’t quite cope with the graphics on board, resulting in a blank screen. It’s easy to fix though, just make sure that at the first prompt after booting your machine from the CD, you don’t just type “live” like it suggests, type “live video=ofonly” and then hit enter." | |
| [19:44] <superdmp> I'm surprised though that Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) is perfectly acceptable on those G3 iMacs, but that Lubuntu should cause one to struggle | |
| [19:45] <Tommaso> superdmp: it says unable to open file, invalid device | |
| [19:45] <superdmp> I always think of Linux as being very lightweight, but then I only ever use it on servers myself | |
| [19:45] <superdmp> hmm | |
| [19:45] <superdmp> Tommaso: supper's ready, we'll have another go afterwards | |
| [19:46] <Tommaso> superdmp: ok | |
| [19:46] <superdmp> Tommaso: come downstairs and set the table | |
| [19:46] <superdmp> please | |
| [19:46] <Tommaso> superdmp: anselmos on his way | |

| [20:31] <Tommaso> my lubuntu install on iMac G3 500 has rebooted; I can login to text consoles but the main startup screen seems to be spending ages in apparmor profiles | |
| [20:31] <Tommaso> It has skipped 2 so far. | |
| [20:31] <holstein> Tommaso: i would try the vesa driver | |
| [20:31] <holstein> Tommaso: i would have realistic expectations for that hardware | |
| [20:31] <Tommaso> holstein: I will look that up | |
| [21:59] <Oe_eden> anyone else noticed that sylpheed docks nicely with a nice grey icon (lubuntu style) but after receiving email the icon is back to the 'old' style sylpheed icon | |
| [22:55] <holstein> Oe_eden: if it doesnt come by default, its probably not well tested.. i would file a bug about it and try and get someone else to confirm | |
| [23:27] <topo_> Hi does any one know how to get pcmanfm to remmenber foreever | |
