@wxl: I sent this to "QA" . . . but, right, this is the bug . . . that my iBook found earlier in the month, and then again a few days ago. What I didn't mention was what Lars also mentioned, when the mouse cursor "clenches" to drag the window . . . it doesn't "unclench." But, it is a "deal breaker" in terms of running 14.10 on the iBook . . . getting that the devs don't seem too concerned, but unlikely that I would take the time to change the video card from radeon to something else . . . .
=================================from the other day: "Ran the 14.10 ppc live 10/16/14 "Alpha powerpc" iso this AM . . . briefly. But, on my iBook G4 w/640+-MB RAM . . . had to use the radeon fb boot parameters, booting with "live" does not work . . . in any event, when I got to the desktop the first thing I wanted to check was the "window dragging" issue that has been a problem for awhile . . . even 14.04 is not too outstanding. However, launching FF the window opens . . . bottom left says "transferring data" . . . which went on for several minutes . . . could not enter "Gmail" in the searchbar window . . . then found that I could do nothing anywhere else . . . "DE frozen" . . . I think I filed a bug about this in a recent test??? Rebooted back, and tried the menu, which opened . . . I then opened the File manager . . . clicking on stuff in the window . . . did not succeed . . . DE again Frozen . . . only way out is shut down. I'll try to get to the QA tracker thing, but, really seems like I've been here before . . . the things I've found as issues . . . remain." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377878 Title: PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the mouse pointer. And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened to have at the time it froze. The steps I have to cause the freeze are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox. It will freeze every time then. Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable. What kind of information can I collect and how?
