Great news Christian. Can you give me a complete guide, how to update Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.10 and how to install the 3D driver?

I confirm your solution works also with the 10.1.3 dri.

I don't understand - should I add
"export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mesa-10.0.4/lib/"
to the ".profile" file, or,
should I add "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="
to the ".profile" file?

You should add export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mesa-10.0.4/lib/ to the .profile file.

It would be too much. But you could install 14.10 on another partition or hard disk if you like.

thanks.

I'm adding a pic of my system with a surprise in the upper-right part of the screen (which led me to the next part:) More importantly, I tried again to install Lubuntu 14.10 from scratch and this time I used the netboot image from Sept 5th which couldn't find my hard drive, so use only the one from the 2nd or maybe new ones even though it had difficulties all along detecting the hard drive.

Srtest,

Impressive. Well done! Do you use the unofficial Mesa? Could you register your AmigaOne X1000 on the Ubuntu hardware website, please? My PPC computers are already registered (AmigaOne X1000 and Sam440ep Flex).

I have created a bug report because of the 3D acceleration problem.

Well...

In the meantime I did some stupid things and broke my installation and spent a lot of time trying to fix it to no avail. Now no netboot based installation will detect my ssd so I am lucky to have the Ubuntu live cd to fall back to and the cd installed normally. Strange issue that the cd installation detects the ssd and everything is smooth and no netboot image based installation (even the previous Lubuntu 14.04) will detect it. So for now I can't report such a thing.

To answer your question, what I did previously was to install the xorg server 1.16 from the debian archives along with the updated radeon+ati drivers from the canonical-x-staging ppa/launchpad (the drivers from the same debian archive don't work!) and of course I also installed manually what was required by Xorg and the 10.3 rc2 mesa packages from the ppa, prayed like hell and it worked, until now :/

Sorry for that problem.

Do you think, we don't need our unofficial Mesa packages in the future?

That's ok, installed Lubuntu/LXDE on top of Ubuntu 12.04.05 and everything works. That is it at this point as I had enough tryouts...

As I'm not a programmer I'm not the guy to ask that. After I installed Xorg 1.16 I again needed the xorg.conf file... so I guess it is about the nature of the workaround approach and gaining performance and features that future Mesa's promises the standard Linux-on-pc user.

I have a question: is it possible that the utility in use when detecting the ssd during installation is confused because there isn't a section on the hd that went through a normal format?

Posted as per request from OP:

Testing has begun for the Final Beta (Beta 2) of Lubuntu 14.10 Utopic
Unicorn. Head on over to the ISO tracker to download images, view
testcases, and report results:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/mile ... 324/builds

If you're new to testing, anyone can join and they don't have to be
Linux Jedis or anything. You can find all the information you need to
get started here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing

Please note that we especially need testers for PPC chips and Intel
Macs. We have a special section discussing it here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPC%26Mac64

In particular, if you have an Intel Mac, I have a few questions for
you that might help us trim down the workload of the testing team.
Please get in touch with me directly.

Also, if you have a PPC chip, we're about the only distro actively
supporting this architecture. However, we are community supported, so
without formal testing, the arch will lose more support. So please
join in testing!

Please crosspost this everywhere, especially to any folks that may be
willing to help with PPC.

If you have any other questions or comments, please don't hesitate to
get in touch with me directly by email and/or IRC.
