Hi All,
I updated my ubuntu MATE 16.10 PowerPC today and I saw a lot of ubuntu MATE packages for update. The update worked without any problems.
Unfortunately "Welcome" still doesn't work.
Cheers,
Christian

I followed suit three days later, and had my hopes up when I saw that Welcome was one of the things being upgraded. But alas, not upgraded enough yet.xeno74 wrote:Hi All,

Hi All,
Ubuntu MATE 16.10 Beta 2 is released.
Link to the announcement: https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-yakkety-beta2/
I was able to update ubuntu MATE 16.10 to Beta 2 on my AmigaOne X1000 today. All things work except the "Welcome" screen.
I was able to boot the ubuntu MATE 16.10 Beta 2 Live DVD with my AmigaOne X1000.
Unfortunately we need a xorg.conf with a configured fbdev on the Live DVD. Without a xorg.conf, the MATE desktop doesn't start and we can't switch to a shell.
I solved this problem with the following commands:
I also tested the Beta 2 ISO with QEMU. I was able to boot the Beta 2 ISO with a virtual PowerMac G4 machine with QEMU/KVM PR.
Unfortunately it doesn't boot with a virtual G3 machine anymore. The default kernel from the live DVD needs a CPU with AltiVec support. It doesn't boot with a virtual pSeries either.
Please test the Beta 2.
Cheers,
Christian

I was hoping Software Updater would do the trick, but even after a long download and install session, I'm still at 1.16.0, so I guess I really have to start all over?

1.16.0 is the MATE version.kilaueabart wrote:I was hoping Software Updater would do the trick, but even after a long download and install session, I'm still at 1.16.0, so I guess I really have to start all over?
