Will there be a Bionic Beaver Desktop distribution for the Mac G5 64-bit PowerPC? I have been unable to get 16.04 to work.
I'm using iMac PowerPC G5 1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, and 10.5.4 Leopard OS.
I want to run Ubuntu on my iMac. Please can anyone tell me which version will run in my system?
I've tried 2 different ISOs (one that I burned and a copy from eBay) and tried nearly every bootloader option when I boot from the Live CD. All i get is colored horizontal lines and no text on the screen after I enter a boot option. I can hear the disc spinning like it's trying to load something but it seems there is something wrong with the graphics.
I get this message when I try to install php5-mysql
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/p/php5/php5-mysql_5.3.3-1ubuntu9.7_powerpc.deb 404 Not Found
It's the same when I try both the Ubuntu software center and apt-get install
So it seams like the .deb file doesn't exist.
Any idea on how I can install the php5-mysql package? I'm using a powerPC.
(btw, I have the same problem with phpmyadmin, the package doesn't exist)
I'd like to install Ubuntu on this little g4 I've found... I hope to get a better performance than Os X 10.4, is it possible?
I thought about using a server minimal install and then put on it gnome, xfce, lxde and fluxbox to find out the best user experience / performance ratio.
Any ideas or experiences about such kind of G4?
