So I tried this libglamoregl fix. I didn't expect removing a library to work. And thought it best to remove the whole package or disable it but simple renaming looks easier. In my case it didn't help much. In fact it almost reverted my system back to the state it was in. I loaded up the web browser and it took the system down again. Looks like any GUI applications I can use will be limited to the file browser. My old video card is too new for the PPC Radeon drivers!

The link to the new MintPPC32-2025-llive-root.img.gz is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GHfoVL ... sp=sharing
It is a single root partition. You guys know how to deal with this as you have your own bootloader.
Hi
I made a mintppc usbdisk off the img file
Then I boot with a kernel .
Boot fine but run into a read only system
with error sysv service /etc/init.d/ preload lack a native systemd unit file
ended up in a promt .
Maybe change UUID= in fstap
I will be back
Sorry, I have forgotten to switch from serial0 output to virtio-gpu-pci on QEMU yesterday. Of course the lxdm display manager works if I use virtio-gpu-pci. It starts automatically and I can choose Mint-LXDE, LXDE, Openbox, Default, Default Xsession and Xfce Session and login with mintppc.
Hi
When mintppc boots, I end up at debian login: for 1 sec. and then a flashing cursor for 2 sec and then back again.
Any suggestions on how to stop this so I can log in?
Have a nice day

Maybe you have to switch to TTY7. (CTRL + ALT + F7)
QEMU: CTRL + WIN + F7
