Not sure what to try next.Įverything worked right at startup. Screen goes blank shortly after 'starting Gnome' message. Seems to boot fine, including the Ubuntu logo (I assume that means X is working).

The resulting system seems to work just fine, although I was a little surprised to find that there's no C compiler included.ĭisplay/videocard setting not autodetected (copy Apple's X11 nf file to your ubuntu partition to fix it), internal modem not supported (download the linuxant softmodem driver from OS X), everything else works. I can write up a full description of how I did it if anyone's interested. I got it going with BootX quite easily and then used a few Unix tricks to get BootX to start up the installed system. The installation was a little obscure, mainly because the beige G3 is an Old World Mac and won't boot the Ubuntu CD. Some keyboard layout strangenesses can be fixed by changing to the 'Macintosh' keyboard layout. Occaisional erratic trackpad behavior.Įject, Power, Volume and Brightness Adjustment keys don't work. Microphone doesn't work at all (there may be a way, but nothing out of the box) The chipset has been reverse engineered, so drivers may be coming soon. Sound low at first from internal speakers, Use the Volume control panel to adjust 'DRC Range' until it's better. Gnome is fast, most hardware is compatible. Overall, install works well out of the box. Sleep doesn't work (workarounds in the forum), everything else works.ġ.67 Ghz 15' Powerbook (V 6.8), Hi-Res Screen
