Thank you, thank you, thank you… Works great!
I started building the 64-bits version of arcticfox 27.11.0 on one of my G5 iMacs…
My first attempt failed, most likely because it used gcc-9. I will now make sure that all new versions of gcc are gone and that it will use gcc-6.
Ok, building again, now with gcc-6…
Ok, first long step has successfully been finished!
I have to now create a package and then convert it into a .deb.
Ok G5 users, you are now able to upgrade arcticfox to 27.11.0:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
I am having issues installing MintPPC on my iMac G3, after launching with automated install (or anything else) I get:
Initramfs unpacking failed: write error
aty128fb: ROM failed to map
and then it’s just a bunch of errors saying directory doesn’t exist
I’m sorry I posted this under this unrelated topic. I thought I was on the Installation post. After trying to install MintPPC on my other iMac G3 I got a little bit further, on that one I don’t have the unpacking error and could proceed with the proper install. However the aty128fb error persists. It appears to be a driver issue which explains why I get a flashing cursor (underscore) on startup and no gui. Switching to a terminal with alt+F[n] yields a functional with a seemingly fully installed MintPPC except the Graphical layer won’t start because of the driver error.
