Simply, don't buy hardware with nvidia graphics in it, and you
should have no
such problems :)
You could have told me so earlier! :-P ;-)

Hi Mark,
I'd suggest you get a Ubuntu Breezy/ppc install disc (or it's live
version if you just want to test it) from ubuntu.com and install that.
Ubuntu is more or less Debian preconfigured for desktop usage.
That should solve most, if not all, your issues.
Best regards,

Hi Martin,
I quickly searched the forums and found that there are quite some people
happily running Ubuntu on their G5s. And plenty of others which have
problems with it. That seems to be related to a Debian/Ubuntu error in
yaboot. Maybe it is fixed now - you can find todays live CDs here:

Hey Martin,
did you try the Ubuntu PPC version?
With the 'power4' kernel option (or so - should be shown when you're
booting the system) you *should* be able to boot it. Why don't you grab
a live cd and just try it?
Best regards,
Maxi

Try it with the OS X Install CD/DVD.
Pop it in, press 'C' during boot (starting from when you hear the chime)

Around Ubuntu there are developing some Usermode bootsplashes which you
should check out.
One is Splashy/UPower ->

It's not as nice as the 'native' bootsplashes (yet) but already much

I'm running 2.6.10. When suspending to disk I *only* do a 'echo "disk"

Hi Wolfi,
I have the same Powerbook model and it's running Ubuntu "unstable";
Breezy. Suspend to disk works like a charm, even without the new patch
applied. And in X.
Maybe you could try that?! Should I send you a kernel .deb or something
like that?

I had this working once (there was a nice thread about this topic here),

Hi Brian,
try the live CD of Ubuntu hoary. It recognized my iMac G3 Rev. A just

Hi Rainer, hi vinai,
thanks for your responses!
It's a wallstreet, and I think it just had a loose contact - after the
fifth time I tried it the display magically started to work :)
Too bad it's an old world mac :/ New World would have been so much

Well, Wee-Jin, it's the same situation as with the Windows NDIS drivers.
You have closed source drivers for a non-Linux kernel. To us

Well - thats not perfectly true.
If you search a bit more (try "qemu ndiswrapper", e.g.) than you find
that _theoretically_ there is a possibility to write a driver that uses
qemu to load i386 modules into

I'm having a Powerbook G4 with an AE. I'm more than willing to try this.
Anyone here with qemu experience? Thats something I haven't experimented
with until now..

The 'problem' is that he wants a KDE distro whereas Ubuntu is GNOME
centric. BTW: He mentioned the hoary (== Ubuntu) live CD in his original

Hi Timo,
I'm running hoary on my powerbook 12". It's running nice. Somewhen some
problems, but you should expect this when running a development version.
Nothing really evil though, most of the problems are solved by the next
'apt-get dist-upgrade'. If you don't fear tinkering, you should try it.
