Ubuntu Quantal 12.10 PowerPC, Daily Build 13. of September. iBook G4 1.42 Ghz.
I tried the daily build of Ubuntu 12.10 PPC just now and it is even worse than Lubuntu. It boots into a desktop with warped version of Ubuntu purply back ground, and the only thing there is a moving cursor; no menu, no taskbar or other regular desktop function. I booted into live CD both directl and live video=offonly mode. Does it sound like the same xorg issue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046951 Title: No desktop environment or window manager, just X with the mouse Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The only thing that the graphical display shows is the mouse pointer.
