I don't see why you would want to install old ubuntu on computers unless you wanted to specifically looked at old ubuntu's, but MATE supports PPC and it's still the old gnome look
Ubuntu MATE 16.04 installs quite nicely on older PPC hardware (I have it installed on an old G4 iBook and PowerBook). The only caveats are that if you have an ATI card, you have to jump through a hoop or two to turn off part of the driver to maintain system stability. Nvidia cards work nicely though (the PB has one and has no issues with installation). Now you'd think any version of 16.04 for PPC would work. Nope. At least not in my experience. MATE works, but then you'd probably want to install an alternate desktop (Lubuntu/Xubuntu) afterwards depending on processor speed and memory.
0:44 I have one of those, literally within arm’s reach. When I was making the buying decision, I was thinking: “What’s the worst Apple could do? Up the screen size from 15" to 17" later? It still looks cool regardless; OK, I’ll buy it”. Guess what they did 6 months after I bought it ...
the whole problem with installing old versions at EOL, is their repositories disappear, so no upgrades, no other programs unless you get from a current repository for some later version. Of course, one can order the complete repository from osdisc if you do so, preferably just before it's LTS expires.
38:56 Classic Autoconfig IP failure -_- Check your internet gateway through the mac mini and manually configure a 192.168.x.x (Might be something else if connected through your phone) gateway and IP on linux ✌
You know. Rather than have to sacrifice the Ethernet cable from the WiFi and have to use Mobile Hotspot. You could have just used the internet sharing on the Mac mini and shared the connection through FireWire. That version of Ubuntu does support connection to the internet through FireWire.
MacOS9Lives was the unofficial Mac OS 9 system install you downloaded because your Mac 9 disk wouldn't work during the Mac 9 install episode I think. The folder is empty because the installation failed lol
Thank you very much ! I've tried multiple versions of Linux for my iMac Sunflowers in the past with no luck so far. Now I know which one is supposed to work so I'll give it a try soon and give a second life to this nice piece of computer.
26:40 I tried that same procedure on a 2011 iMac with Lion but it wanted me to sign in. Krazy Ken, maybe you already bought Mountain Lion as part of an upgrade?
Great video, I enjoyed it. :) You know Krazy Ken, you could have made an image of the full drive of the iBook and the iMac through Target Disk Mode by connecting them one at a time to your Macbook Pro using your trusty conversion technology and use Disk Utility or Superduper to image the whole drives of these computers and then just do a clean install of Linux onto both of these systems. That would have been way easier. Next time maybe think about doing a backup before an installation sensation onto a Mac rather than repartitioning.
1:41 Absolutely no leg movement, so I’m thinking pretty confidently “gravity” at this point. (Speaking from long experience with encountering long-legged house spiders ...)
I Have A Suggestion for an Episode Ken. How About Updating The Linux Partition Of the iMac to The Latest Version Of Ubuntu MATE for PowerPCs, Which is 16.04.1 LTS. Maybe That Can Fix the Internet Issue.
38:56 self-assigned IP. Try assigning both computers a static IP in the same subnet (and put in the Mac mini's IP address next to "Gateway address" on the Ubuntu iMac).
Will they work well on a 17-year-old computer? I mean, it’s Linux, so paired with the right DE, it could run on a sundial, but I want to make sure. ; )
Computer Clan Yes! On the MacRumors forum, under the PowerPC section, there’s a stickied thread about which operating systems run on those old PowerMacs. I prefer OpenBSD and NetBSD, but I know there are some Linux distros that also run well. Maybe some semi-recent version of Debian or Ubuntu? I haven’t checked in a few months. Anyway, it’s great to see a TH-cam video of an old PowerMac! Thank you for the upload! Awesome channel! You got yourself a new subscriber!
My iMac G4 is waiting in excitement for me to learn from this video.. thanks for uploading.. (btw mine has the old airport card that is not WPA2 compatible, så I plan to hook up an airport express to the ethernet port..)
For the internet issue did you make sure date and time where correct? Websites won't load if that's wrong. Did you try going to google? Try https at the beginning of the address. Try setting Ethernet as DHCP so it grabs the correct IP. Can you ping any website? The web browser may be to old to load modern websites
if you EVER get an IP that starts with 169.254 you will not be able to connect to the network. Addresses that start with 169.254 are reserved for something called an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Assignment). When you get these it mean's that the device is connected on the layer 2 (it sees the device on the other end's MAC address) but nothing is giving it an IP address. I assume your Mac Mini was not properly configured for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) which is responsible for giving devices on your network IP addresses. Also - if you need ethernet cables hit me up, I can send you a large box of them lol These things go for a dime a dozen at this point.

Only 16.04, with the PowerPC platform being dropped completely in April 2019.

@SheekKid12 thanks! I didn't know that D:

Theres still a version of Ubuntu for PowerPC, though its designed for the modern day Amigas by A-EON Technology. Yes, Amiga is still around, sorta.
