I'm trying to get this working on Lucid running on a PowerMac G4. I basically followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonAccessCard

Got it working... However, I can't seem to get my 1600x1024@76 working properly (the monitor supports that resolution because I am able to select it under OS x. At any rate, this is what got me...

I have a fresh install of Lucid on my PowerMac G4 Desktop (PowerMac3,6) / 867MHz. Right now I'm stuck with a resolution of 800x600. From what I have read, I know I need an xorg.conf file (install...

Thanks, I found it online and will look at it and see if anything helps. I actually tried mounting ALL the partitions (not just the main) and got no where. I was trying also to use xfs_repair in...

I have installed xfsprogs and I am getting the following when trying to mount:


$ sudo mount -t xfs /dev/sda /media/sda

dmesg shows the following entries:

Ok, now I am able to see that the drives are there and I can see the various partitions (using the KDE Partition Manager) - how do I go about mounting them so I can copy the data off them. I don't...

Ok, I feel like an ***... Turns out the enclosure was not turned on - although the terminator was lit up, making me believe it was on and functioning. I can now see the drives on /dev/sda and...

I tried the "sudo modprobe xfs" - and it didn't return an error, didn't seem to do anything.

I have loaded Ubuntu 10.04 on my PPC mac, and I was under the impression that the XFS file system was supported out of the box. I am trying to recover some data on 2 old IRIX SCSI drives. I have...

Yep, looks like the support for the built-in ethernet port (or the Davicom 9102 card I tried) just isn't there in Lucid. I scrounged around and found an Intel PCI card and it's up and running with...

Ok, I'm about to throw this thing out a window... Someone, anyone???

I've reinstalled about 10 times. System is a PowerMac3,6. I gave up on the other network card (Davicom 9102) - having...

Here's a little more info...

Ok, I only have things half working... I have a link now, and am using DHCP (had our network guys give me an IP). So, it shows the network is now connected, and I have a valid IP address and...

I managed to get it working. I pulled the network card out of an old PC and put it in the Mac and configured it and the network came right up. I'm guessing that the drivers for the onboard ethernet...

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an old G4 Mac desktop. Install went great with no issues.
