Hi all! Recently i installed lubuntu 12.04 powerpc on my PB 17" alluminium (really it was an upgrade from a 12.04 ppc beta to the final version). Now i realize there are several problems, i'd like to list here, hoping there is someone who reads:
1) The *ANY!!!* - kernel upgrade installs the symbolic link files in the root directory "/" instead of "/boot". And the newest kernel file has systematically the wrong rights (only root no rights for any other users). This can be corrected by hand but it's for sure not the way it should be ;) (cfr. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11721205#post11721205 and the follow up). May be someone more skilled than me could have a look at the script for updates and upgrades . . . (?) 2) lubuntu logout does not work correctly: If i try to shut down or to restart, a window opens asking for my password, but when i try to fill in, the window disappears and no shutdown etc is done. Hibernate, Standby or Change User work. 3) Lxkeymap (v. 0.7.99) does not work. In the menu <Options> i cannot activate anything. It's shown, but nothing else. 4) Bluetooth does not work using the standard installation (i checked with MintPPC 11 and for some reason even there seem to be problems). On the other hand: with blueman and this script ( http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=54137&p=415734&hilit=blueman#p312665 - substitute "dolphin" by pcmanfm in the script) now it works. Before, in the 12.04 beta that combination was dead slow! 5) I think that's not ppc specific: lxappearance does not cover completely obconf; so, i think, they should be installed both by default. Finally, something really positive: With the installation of powernowd and adding "fan_speed=66 limit_adjust=6" to the "therm_adt746x" statement in '/etc/modules' (thanks to rsavage!) definitely the annoying and excessive fan noise problem seems to be resolved. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa Post to : lubuntu-qa@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
