<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>@Eric:<br><br></div>Yes, for the most part support for PPC has been dropped, and that does seem to also include a repo port even for 16.04, as when I try to upgrade my various PPC systems I get an "error" . . . and that may have "broken" the upgrade . . . . If you are in 32 bit PPC whatever you have might be it, besides doing "manual" upgrades, possibly synaptic might show you options for upgrading packages . . . .<br><br></div>If you are in 64 bit PPC then I believe that OpenSUSE still offers support for a PPC spin. Long live PPC . . . I think Debian has dropped PPC and so all the little PPC gnomes are slowly dying off . . . . U-MATE offered an alpha 17.04 for PPC by "mistake" . . . I found some issues with it, so I'm in various flavors of 16.04, except in an iMac it's still running 12.04, I tried to use Software Upgrade to boost it to 14.04 and hoping for 16.04 to avoid the fresh install revamp on xorg.conf and video driver snafu . . . terminal refuses to comply with my commands . . . .<br><br></div>F<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Hello,<br>
<br>
I've been looking to downoading the PowerPC version for a year or so but it's never there. It was there in the beginning and then disappeared and never cane back, why?<br>
<br>
I use only LTS support versions and am annoyed that when doing a Software Update I'm offered to upgrade as this simply doesn't work, I've tested it and it simply doesn't work, it only gives extra work when you have most probably least time as the entire operating system has to be reinstalled on another disk to keep files that were on the old disk.<br>
<br>Twice now on two different hard disks 16.04.3 LTS has suddenly stopped connecting to internet, I've found no way to set up the connection again. Twice I've had to take a new hard drive and make a new install, looking up for what software I had installed suddenly an old install started to work correctly again. What happens?<br>
<br>Best Regards<br>
Eric<br>
