Hello to all of you out there...
I have a A1106 PowerBook G4.
Specs:
https://everymac.com/systems/apple/p..._1.5_15_2.html
I have successfully installed Lubuntu 16.04 PPC and can successfully boot, but I can't seem to find the right settings for the yaboot.conf, append="" option.
When at the yaboot startup prompt...
prevents the system from freezing.
(thanks to rican-linux: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2274369)
Interestingly enough, this also works... (without the video=1024x768-32)
(thanks to rican-linux again: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2289495)
So... either of those allow me to boot without the freezes.
However, I edited the file at yaboot.conf to have both of those options..
i.e.
but this doesn't seem to work. I freeze quickly after seeing the Lubuntu login GUI.
I tried removing the "quiet splash " but that didn't help.
I also tried it as simply:
as recommended in this thread (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2335754).
(Side note: The mac seems to go to sleep very quickly and I often end up hitting the power button to wake up in order to login)
