After installing from the Xubuntu livecd I updated the 79(!) packages neeed to get up to date I found out that the kernel used is older than the livecd one:
X Window System Version 7.0.0 Release Date: 21 December 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.0 Build Operating System:Linux 2.6.15-26-powerpc64-smp ppc Current Operating System: Linux jol-desktop 2.6.15-23-powerpc #1 Tue May 23 13:46:54 UTC 2006 ppc The livecd kernel is not 2.6.15-23 but 2.6.15-26 (See above log) and with this older (cut -23) the Option UseFBDev "true" works! So I think the framebuffer driver has changed between these cuts and caused the SIGSEGV crash. I am currently not at the CVS so I can't check the diff myself yet. -- [R128] Dapper ppc install cd SIGSEGV initializing X on iMac https://launchpad.net/bugs/63072 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
