[Bug 944266] Re: No 'Free Software Only' or Language selection options for PowerPC

[Stéphane Graber]

This isn't a grub menu, that's the gfxboot menu that you see right after
booting from the CD, assuming we have that on powerpc.

If you don't have a text based language/keyboard/option selection screen
before booting the CD, then that means that this testcase doesn't apply
to powerpc.

Title:
  No 'Free Software Only' or Language selection options for PowerPC

Status in “gfxboot” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm trying to complete the "Free Software Only in Ubuntu Desktop
  powerpc" testcase, but I don't have a clue how to select this.  Is
  this part of ubiquity, or is it a grub menu?  This is what is written
  in the testcase:

  1.  Start your machine with the install media in place
  2.  When you see the aubergine screen with an icon at the bottom, press any key to get the menu
  3.  Select your language and press Enter
  4.  Press F6 and use the down arrow to get to Free software only and press Enter

  I'm assuming the aubergine screen is a grub menu (PowerPC doesn't have
  grub).  I can only select a language when installing (I'm not given an
  option for just a live session).  When the system boots after the
  yaboot prompt I don't have any menu to select a language or free
  software.

  I need to run the installer for another architecture to see what
  PowerPC is missing.
