Public bug reported:
I downloaded ubuntu-mate-15.04-desktop-powerpc.iso with the intention of
running this under Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 using qemu-system-ppc.
I found that this never works and all I get is a blank screen.
Here's how I invoke it
qemu-system-ppc -machine mac99 -m 1024 -hda ubuntu15.04_ppc.img -cdrom
ubuntu-mate-15.04-desktop-powerpc.iso
Using a newer version of the openbios-ppc I at least get some output in the
Qemu window, but none with the default image that Ubuntu 14.04 gives me.
