Hi All,
I tested QEMU 2.2 with ubuntu MATE 15.04 again. Today I booted Windows NT 4.0 with QEMU. In addition I tested the
kernel 4.00 RC1 with ubuntu MATE 15.04 today. It boots and works without any problems.
PLEASE test the development version 15.04.
Cheers,
Christian

Thank you for the hint.

Hi All,
ubuntu MATE 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) beta 1 PowerPC was released.
Beta link -

Notes -
https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-vivid-beta1/
Only for Power Macs: Same rules apply as to 14.10 etc, if you have a radeon card then you need to force pci mode to stop freezing.

Quote Martin Wimpress owner of ubuntu MATE PowerPC:
I've been talking to the Ubuntu developers about including "out of the box" support for Amiga PowerPC, such as X1000. They are up for it, but I'll need your help
@Pat: Could you help Martin because of the "out of the box" support for Amiga PowerPC, please? Link:

Hi All,
I updated my ubuntu MATE 15.04 today. It was a big update. Upstart was removed. And the new Xorg doesn't work.
I installed it again:
Download:
Code: Select all
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/184472691/xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb
Code: Select all
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/197425102/xserver-xorg-core_1.16.0-1ubuntu1.3_powerpc.deb
Code: Select all
dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.16.0-1ubuntu1.3_powerpc.deb
Code: Select all
dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb
Xorg works again.
Rgds,
Christian

You should consider using the latest Radeon via Debian. 7.5 I think.

There was some problems with the last update of ubuntu MATE 15.04 (see above) yesterday. I had to downgrade Xorg and reinstall upstart. After that I had to copy the unofficial Mesa libs. I created a package with all debs and Mesa libs for the downgrade today.
Download:
Xorg_and_unofficial_Mesa_for_ubuntu_MATE_15.04_AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.gz
Readme:
After the update of ubuntu Mate 15.04 or Lubuntu 15.04 you have to install some old Xorg packages to get a working X11. The ubuntu MATE 15.04 desktop has some problems with systemd. You have to install upstart to get a full functional ubuntu MATE 15.04 desktop.
1. sudo apt-get install upstart
2. sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.16.0-1ubuntu1.3_powerpc.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb
4. Reboot your AMIGA one X1000
If you need 3D acceleration then you have to install the unofficial Mesa.
1. Extract MesaLib-10.0.4-powerpc-unofficial.tar.bz2
2. Rename the original r600_dri.so to r600_dri.so.bak: sudo mv /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri/r600_dri.so /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri/r600_dri.so.bak
3. Copy the patched r600_dri.so to /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri: sudo cp mesa-10.0.4/lib/dri/r600_dri.so /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri
4. Rename the original LibGL.so.1.2.0 to LibGL.so.1.2.0.bak: sudo mv /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0 /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0.bak
5. Copy the patched LibGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/mesa: sudo cp mesa-10.0.4/lib/LibGL.so.1.2.0 /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/mesa
6. You can test it with glxgears: vblank_mode=0 glxgears
Tip: You can install the packages above via SSH if you like
