| ajmitch | yep | 00:36 |
| brendonjt | good evening all | 08:27 |
| brendonjt | is there anyone here? | 08:37 |
| Veritay | sort of, brendonjt | 08:39 |
| brendonjt | cool hey is there any gorups for ubuntu for people using ppc based computers? | 08:39 |
| brendonjt | opps groups | 08:40 |
| Veritay | um, i have no idea, i'm sorry | 08:40 |
| brendonjt | ok as i am using ubuntu 10.04 on a Imac g5 powerpc and it runs like a charm was just wondering if anyone here knew if there was a group or the likes in the ubuntu community for it | 08:41 |
| brendonjt | I have started my own project on wordpress for linux on ppc | 08:42 |
| kcj | brendonjt, There is #ubuntu-powerpc | 08:45 |
| brendonjt | kcj, thankyou for that | 08:47 |
| kcj | You're welcome. | 08:47 |
| Atamira | mmm..on a ppc? | 08:48 |
| Atamira | sounds intriguing | 08:48 |
| brendonjt | no worries, it is great to be back part of the a team again lol as much as i liked mac osx it didn't give me the freedom that linux does | 08:48 |
| brendonjt | especially ubuntu | 08:48 |
| brendonjt | Atamira, yip and works like a dream | 08:48 |
| brendonjt | under mac os x on a powerpc you could only get firefox up to 3.x then it was not supported install ubuntu on powerpc and get the latest firefox go figure | 08:50 |
| Atamira | i switched to chrome cause firefox tho it works nicely, has too much crap on it for me | 08:50 |
| brendonjt | Atamira, sweet can't get that on ppc, just a silly question though in which version of ubuntu did the new fancy gui come in i cant remember the name of it now it is the default desktop | 08:51 |
| brendonjt | in the latest release | 08:51 |
| brendonjt | opps my bad unity | 08:52 |
| Atamira | unity yeah, came out in 11.04? | 08:55 |
| Atamira | tho you could take it off easily | 08:55 |
| Atamira | now its part of 12.04LTS version | 08:55 |
| Atamira | and its kinda ok | 08:55 |
| brendonjt | ok as my computer didn't like unity it just had a white screen in the middle of it and didn't display any icons so went to 10.04 | 08:58 |
| Atamira | yeah, my older machines are the same | 08:58 |
| Atamira | reading the forum is a known feature that it wont run on the older hardware | 08:58 |
| brendonjt | so after 10.04 it went to 10.10 then 11.04 | 08:59 |
| Atamira | 10.10 was ok | 08:59 |
| Atamira | 11.04 was a problem and i had to go back to 10.10 | 08:59 |
| Atamira | now ive skipped right up to 12.04 from KDE 11.04 | 09:00 |
| brendonjt | ok silly question as i havent done this in a long time with the alternative cd image how do i upgrade | 09:00 |
| Atamira | heh, i burned a CD and it upgraded itself from it | 09:03 |
| brendonjt | ok burn the image when it comes it wants to add it to the repository says yes then just apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:04 |
| Atamira | mmm, that wasnt how i did it | 09:07 |
| Atamira | i booted from the CD. the option came up to upgrade..so i upgraded from the CD | 09:07 |
| Atamira | didnt take as long as a full install | 09:07 |
| Atamira | rebooting is an issue for a couple of reboots cause it doesnt power all the way down and hangs | 09:08 |
| Atamira | so i forced it to shutdown ..and it righted itself | 09:08 |
| Atamira | eventually | 09:08 |
| brendonjt | ah ok as i said haven't done that for a long time lol, forced shutdown haven't down that in a while either lol | 09:08 |
| Atamira | heh. its worth while only when you need it | 09:11 |
| brendonjt | ok dumb question how to do a forced shutdown it that turn the power off then back on ?? | 09:12 |
| Atamira | hold down your on/off switch . it will force itself to shut down | 09:13 |
| Atamira | same as you would do on a windows machine | 09:13 |
| Atamira | works for me | 09:13 |
| brendonjt | ah ok thought as much | 09:13 |
| brendonjt | was looking for ibeardslee thought he might be on was wanting some ubuntu stickers | 09:16 |
| kcj | He has them? | 09:16 |
| Atamira | i have some older stickers | 09:17 |
| Atamira | i think | 09:17 |
| Atamira | at oen part i stuck them on my old car | 09:17 |

| kcj | I love those things. | 09:23 |
| kcj | Part of me wants a complete collection. | 09:23 |
| Atamira | my bandwidth wasnt the best when i first got ubuntu | 09:24 |
| Atamira | so it was easier for me to use shipit | 09:24 |
| Atamira | my original first version was a developers copy | 09:24 |
| Atamira | before the official release..i still have that disc too | 09:24 |
| Atamira | ran like a dream..til i 'upgraded' to the released version | 09:25 |
| brendonjt | my first version of ubuntu was a dvd and when you booted it you typed live for the live version or install to install it | 09:25 |
| Atamira | lol my first version didnt have a dvd | 09:26 |
| Atamira | i didnt upgrade that til much later | 09:26 |
| brendonjt | wow memory's as just goes to show how far ubuntu has came over the years | 09:27 |
