First you need the new debian-ports-archive-keyring as xeno74 said. You need to manually install it
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... 05_all.deb Then update the debian-ports repo information. You need to do But again, from this state you run into a lot of problems upgrading. It requires a lot if work and I am not sure it is doable at all. You better start fresh.

The link to the new MintPPC32-2025-live-root.img.gz is here:

It is a single root partition. You guys know how to deal with this as you have your own bootloader.

Thanks!! I will try the IMG this evening.

Is there interest in a 64-bits version ?

Hi,

Many thanks for the partition image.

I successfully tested it in an e5500 QEMU VM today.

First, I had to modify /etc/fstab because it looks for the UUIDs (3 partitions) from the /etc/fstab and therefore it doesn’t boot.
startx as the user mintppc doesn’t work so I log in as root and start X11 with startx. After logout I was able to select another desktop.

Users:

root -> password mintppc
mintppc -> password mintppc

Cheers,
Christian

Why don't you use LXDE ? XFCE is also available by the way. Well done!

You should run lxdm and login with a mint-lxde session skateman, this is plain lxde. This is not how it should look like.
It should look like this:

Check if libgl1 and mesa are installed.
Also check if xserver-xorg-video-radeon is installed. You might to first remove the nouveau driver (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau).

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.

Excellent, this is how it should be Christian.

On another note, I have some news to share:
