The iBook error says it "doesn't have enough memory to report the problem" . . . and on the PM . . . apparently it says the error report was "corrupted" . . . no launchpad window opened in the browser when I clicked on the "report the problem." Tried to revert to the old kernel in the iBook several times, seemingly failed to boot the old one . . . shut it down. I went to the PM running 16.04 U-MATE and tried the same dist-upgrade via console there, that upgrade was much larger than the Lu system, but subsequently FF also then failed to launch w/o crashing . . . installed Midori to make an apple user post, but when I tried to start a new thread there Midori crashed as well. I ran "apt-get -f install" in both the iBook & the PM . . . nothing showed up. No "comment" in the terminal during the upgrade asking any questions or reporting "problems" . . . but FF is kaput!!!! I'm back in OSX 10.5 side until things cool down for the browsers in 16.04 PPC Lu & U-MATE/XFCE. e...
