[Bug 1377878] Re: PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

[Lars Noodén]

Yes, there are problems on the Alternate, but different ones.  The
alternate won't complete installation either, but for different reasons
so no data on the GUI can be gathered.

When I ssh in to a Live session that has locked, I can see from 'top'
that the load averages are very low.

Both sets of logs are from the installation.  The logs are from during
the installation process but after the freeze.

About the kernel parameters, if I boot with radeonfb: etc like used to
be required, then all I get after the splash screen is a black screen
with no mouse and no way to get to console either.

Title:
  PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the
  mouse pointer.  And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened
  to have at the time it froze.  The steps I have to cause the freeze
  are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run
  Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox.  It will freeze every time then.
  Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable.  What kind of
  information can I collect and how?
