Is Ubuntu 12.04 supported? #27

Closed ultra0000 closed 3 years ago

ultra0000 commented 4 years ago

I know this is a little bit old project, but does this support Ubuntu 12.04? i tried loading it, but it only gives me the linux penguin and it reboots

EDIT: i got it to load, the problem was, the linux partition was on ext4, so i installed Ubuntu 12.04 on QEMU and then mounted it, and then copied everything to a ext3 partition with the terminal. And then it loaded, saying "The system is running on low graphics mode" or something like that, then i press enter because there's no "OK" option, then a couple of options appear, but everyone just leaves you in a screen with a cursor, if i do Ctrl + Alt + F1 i get to the terminal, and if i do startx it gives me an error, if i do it with sudo (NOTE: i had to fix the sudo command from my laptop because it wasnt working) it gives me a mouse on screen and then it lags A LOT, and it gets stuck in there.

I forgot to say, i used the "Ubuntu preinstalled desktop" thing that's on the ubuntu website.

What you're trying to achieve or run? If you want a graphic desktop environment, it will be hard. A light window manager can work (something like JWM)

Kernel 3.15.10 works up until the Ubuntu 17 Zesty PowerPC development branch, right before they decided to completely drop PPC32 bit support at all.

You can try, but the system has not a lot of memory. I would aim for something extremely lightweight.
