<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Fritz,<br>
There are also Ladies on this list, not just us Gents.<br>
<br>
The No Sound issue, might be related to the migration from
snd-powermac to snd-aoa<br>
I am not sure why it would be happening in 12.04, though the newer
kernels may have introduced this behavior.<br>
<br>
It might also be why your wireless isn't working.<br>
<br>
Does your PPC have an 'airport' or is it b43?<br>
If it is airport, then it is most likely because of the hw-detect
bug that has plagued PPC this release.<br>
<br>
If you really want to test some things out I wrote an e-mail a
while back about my testing on an iBook.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lubuntu-users/2014-May/007479.html">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lubuntu-users/2014-May/007479.html</a><br>
However, there are some models that simply do not work without
having to do some more extensive hacking around.<br>
<br>
Also, for the airport module you would need to try<br>
sudo modprobe airport<br>
and add airport into your /etc/modules<br>
and make sure it isn't blacklisted (like the sound modules).<br>
<br>
If your computer uses b43 you will (most likely) need to install<br>
b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer<br>
If you have another b43 driver installed it can cause an issue
with this one.<br>
<br>
For Firefox, you might back up your config folder and then delete
the current one<br>
(which is) ~/.mozilla<br>
Unfortunately I have not found another browser that works on PPC.
(I wish qupzilla did, it is FAST)<br>

Since the discussion has turned to the nm-applet
issue, I've found some issues with my iMac G4 version
of Xu/Lu 12.04 that seemed to have "happened" w/o my
participation . . . . I started to notice these items
in the comparison to the 14.04 PPC testing that I
tried on my iMac and iBook . . . which I found the
"window dragging" to be sluggish and scrolling also in
14.04 . . . but then going back to the installed 12.04
system also showed issues with dragging windows . . .
but a little bit less . . . .<br>
<br>
</div>
However, the one item that is strange is that the
Network Manger applet suddenly started showing an "x"
next to it instead of some kind of "connection" . . . I
have a wifi card installed and I was formerly able to
connect by wifi with it, but then, perhaps after some
"apt-get upgrade" . . . this problem of clicking on the
applet and seeing a "Network Manager is not working"
error started happening. Ethernet works fine, so it's
not a show stopper, it's just the point that I didn't
"adjust" any settings in NM . . . I mostly am a GUI
user, and then sometimes I use the Terminal to run apt
upgrades, and I usually do all the listed items . . .
that apt chooses. And something in that process seems
to have "broken" NM????<br>
<br>
</div>
Concurrent with this is a change in FF . . . I used to,
perhaps in Feb, be able to watch You Tube videos in FF . .
. no Add-ons, I remember posting a thread on the TFFox
blog telling the guy that compared to linux browser TFF
was "slow" and I couldn't watch videos with it, but in
12.04 "I could watch videos in the browser" . . . and he
wrote back and said, "Well, then you should use linux" . .
. . But recently videos are no longer working in 12.04 .
. . so what happened? All FF plug ins have been removed?
I tried to add some "YT anti-blocker" add-on, but that did
nothing . . . didn't seem to be any obvious choices
showing for add-ons to watch videos . . . .<br>
<br>
</div>
Ah, the other thing that is more concerning is that "sound"
went away, it was there and working, as I mentioned I could
watch videos, and I remember opening "alsamixer" in the iMac
. . . but now it is "gone"??? Nothing shows up or it says,
"File not found"??? when I type "alsamixer" in the
Terminal. I never "removed" alsamixer in synaptic, or
anything on purpose . . . I **may** have run "autoremove" at
some point when apt gave that as a suggestion to remove
older kernels that were left after several upgrades . . . .
Question is, what happened to "alsamixer" and sound, it was
there, but now apparently gone??? Why would that happen?
System figured out I wasn't using sound or watching that
many videos, or using wifi that much, so it removed them . .
. for my own safety??? This is the Lu 12.04 DE that this is
happening . . . .<br>

Any thoughts or insights appreciated,<br>
