Installing Ubuntu Linux (PowerPC) on an iMac G4 - Krazy Ken's Tech Misadventures
**Reinstalling Mac OS X**
The speaker decided to reinstall Mac OS X, citing that the computer had not had a "Macintosh system back on it" for a while. The process began with a reboot of the machine, and the speaker joked about the wonky screen angle. As the installation progressed, the speaker took a moment to admire their handiwork and acknowledge the convenience of not needing to sign in.
**Switching to iBuntu**
The speaker then switched to an iBuntu installation, noting that it sounded like the sound was working correctly. They poked fun at the Dutch angle caused by the screen being slightly wonky, but still managed to get the iBuntu desktop up and running. The menu bar animated in, displaying a Linux panel with version 2.22.2.
**Exploring iBuntu**
The speaker explored the various applications available on the iBuntu desktop, including Evolution, OpenOffice, and GIMP. They joked about playing Sudoku and even attempted to play blackjack, although they didn't know how much they had bet. The speaker took a moment to customize the panel by deleting it, only to realize that doing so made it difficult to access certain features.
**Customizing iBuntu**
The speaker attempted to customize the panel by adding it back in and adjusting its size. They poked fun at the default theme and decided to use "Crux" instead. The speaker remembered a previous desktop environment called "three tiers" but wasn't sure if it was still available. They cranked up the appearance settings, joking about the likelihood of it working.
**Gambling and iBuntu**
The speaker took a break from installing Linux by playing blackjack with Tomboy Notes. They joked about their lack of skill at Sudoku, but enjoyed the game nonetheless. The speaker returned to the installation process, this time attempting to add more features to the panel. Despite some minor setbacks, the speaker was pleased with how smoothly iBuntu was running on the older PowerPC system.
**Conclusion**
As the speaker finished reinstalling Mac OS X, they reflected on the challenges of working with an older operating system. Despite some technical difficulties, they were pleased with the result and enjoyed exploring the various features available on their new Linux desktop. The speaker's lighthearted tone and sense of humor made the process enjoyable, even if it wasn't always straightforward.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- For the first time ever,on a Krazy Ken episode,we are doing a dualinstallation sensation.Popularity contest?I've never been good at those.Oh yeah!Psychedelic colors!That should be simple,that should just work.(bleep)Now I just need tohijack an Ethernet cord.Come on, focus, focus.And got it.(alarm ringing)Oh shit, oh shit!Oh boy, oh they're after me.(beeping)(funky upbeat music)Hey guys, how you all doing?Really, that's just great.You know what, I was doing greatuntil about five seconds ago,because I realized the computerI wanted to experiment with today,does not have a Wi-Fi card.It's gonna make thingsa little bit difficult.Because I wanted to install an old versionof Ubuntu, made for PowerPC, on here,but I kinda wanna doit with network access,otherwise it's like whoa, whippie.So not being able to connectthis to the internet,kinda sucks.I just realized,like right before Istarted the tech video log,that there's actually notan AirPort Card in here.Bummer.And 10 stories underground,it's kinda hard to runEthernet down here too,so I actually have jack shit.However, I'm gonna try to find a cable,drill through theceiling, go up 10 stories,and wire it up to the government's router.I'll be right back.Whoa Nellie, whoa look at that.There's a spider in my cable locks.Is it alive?Hello little spider (screaming).Oh, was that gravity that did that?Hello little spider, are you dead?All right, let's see if wecan find that Ethernet cable.Well I couldn't find anything in that bin,and that's pretty muchall of my possessions.I'm going to plan B, becauseI want to install this,but I wanna have network access.Here's plan B.This iBook, has an AirPort Card in it.So we'll be able to use the internet.Even better, I have this 8.04 disk,but I also havethis beautiful 10.10 disk, yes.I thought, what a betterway to celebrate today,which is the Ubuntu 18.10 release day,than with a vintage UbuntuPowerPC installation.So we're gonna installboth versions of Ubuntuon two vintage Macs, because we can.Let's get started.All right, so I set mylittle iBook over here.I'm just gonna start on the iMac.The iMac is going to get version 8.04.The iBook is gonna get version 10.10.Now I believe I usedthis disk once before,but it has been a long ass time.I think in terms of theoperating systems currentlyon this computer, I have...It looks like I have adrive called Mac OS 9 Lives,but there's nothing in here.Would I really have named thehard drive, Mac OS 9 Lives?What?How old?Latest backup, October 15, 2011.Yeah, I have a feelingI haven't really touched thiscomputer lately (laughing).I don't remember much ofwhat I've done on this thing.Holy cow, that was a long time ago.It looks like we have OS9 applications on here,so there's probably an OS 9system, alongside Leopard here,and then we have this drive,which is just basically nothing.So I'll probably format thatto be the Linux installation.Okay!Let's reboot, and see what happens.It could start on fire, but please don't,because there's not much ventilation(computer dinging)10 stories underground.We're gonna hold downthe trusty option key,to load up the boot picker.I believe that is theofficial name of this screen.The boot picker.Ah, listen to that CD, oh yeah!Here we go, we got our little penguin.Honestly, that's a cool thingabout these old PowerPC computers.It could tell you if youhad a Linux CD in there.Now, by default, the bootpicker just says Windows,for any other CD youinsert, or flash drive.It just says Windows.All right, and return.Let's do this.Oh, it just started going by itself.Okay, so anyway, I guess Ididn't have to do anything.I don't remember this part.I've done this, I think,once before on a different computer,but again, that was many moo-moons ago.Well, I can hear it doing stuff.I can't see anything,but it's making noise.While that's loading,I'm just gonna shove you to the side,and then we're gonna start on the iBook.Because for the first timeever, on a Krazy Ken episode,we are doing a dualinstallation sensation,world record.Of course, right when I goto setup this iBook here,the CD loads.Oh yeah.This is really nostalgic,this is coming back to me.I mean, that's definitelysome kind of bird.Okay, the current date is 1904,so apparently there is a fluxcapacitor in this computer.I'm just kidding.Since this is a dualinstallation sensation,let's just boot this guy up right now.(computer dinging)While this one loads,this one will boot up.And again, this one has Wi-Fi in it,so we should be ableto have a lot more funwith the Interwebs.Let's see, well, it's not 1904.We're just gonna scrollall the way to 2018.Almost there.And, boom, right on 2018.Yes, all those arcade games for ticketsand all that shit, eatin' upmy tokens, are paying off.I'm learning timing.Yes, this is good.Suzie Orman, you are denied.I bet you this clock isall effed up too, yeah.The clocks on these thingsare probably way effed up,'cause the batteries areprobably totally dead.Let's brighten you up.We need to brighten up the day.I don't know if that'sas bright as it gets.I'm sorry (laughing).Poor old little LCD.Let's just take a look here.Just gonna bounceback-and-forth a little bit.Let's see, clock, clock, clock.Date and time, there we go.December 31st, 1969,because this is probably setfor the central time zone.CST, central standardtime, is GMT minus six.There you go, minus six,so we're at 6:00 p.m.Normally it would be January 1st, 1970,the beginning of theUnix clock, I believe,is how that works.You know what?That makes sense now.I think I got it, because theUnix clock started in 1970,that's when the date started for it.I believe it was that day.So 32-bit, if it's a32-bit signed integer,that means you have,32-bits is approximatelyfour billion values.Let's just round it to four billion.So since it's signed, youhave plus two billion,and minus two billion seconds.So two billion seconds out,from January 1st, 1970.Let's see, 35 million seconds in a year,divided out, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah,I think it goes to like 2030 something.So that would be about60 something odd years.So yeah, what was thatother one, 1901 or 1904?So if you add 60 somethingodd years to 1970,you get 2030 something.If you subtract the 60 something years,you get 19-0 something.That's it, okay (laughing).I know I did a lot of rounding there.That shit fascinates me,all those bits and shit.Yeah, it fascinates me.This got reset 'causethe clock battery's dead,so it went back to the default Unix time,or whatever that's technically called.So, Ubuntu 10.10 for PowerPC,I'm gonna throw this in the iBook.While that does it's thing,we're gonna redirect ourattention back to the iMac.While the iBook subplot sits on the side,let's take a look at examples.All right, test documents.That's good.Some of these things are still similar,but a lot of this ispretty different though.This is from, at this current date,this is from like about 10 years ago.More than 10 years go.Oh cool, it picks up the right click.Which is good, because Apple mouse,just wanted to make sure (laughing).Welcome!No localization.We'll do English,'cause that's thelanguage I know the best.Chicago, oh that scrolls really smoothly.Oh that's hot!Chi, huahua?Is that Chihuahua?I have no idea.Oh, dead keys, that sounds very morbid.We're gonna do USA Macintosh,because we are on a Macintosh keyboard.All right, starting at the partitioner.Oh yes, the nice orangeglossy progress bars.I like that.It feels very citrusy.I want some OJ now, there'sso much orange in here.Okay, use entire disk.Well, don't really wanna do that,'cause that's gonna wipe out my Leopardand my OS 9 install,so let's try manual and (bleep)everything up (laughing).Let's figure this out.A lot of unknown things.I don't exactly rememberwhy that's happening.Let's have a look.Okay, used 23300 out of 30234,that must be the Leopard partition.I'm guessing this is just theone that has nothing in it,but that desktop folder.So, 10 gigs oughta be enough.Let's format that, I can't check the box,'cause I probably gotta delete first.I'm so gonna eff this up, aren't I?Scanning for intruder,scanning for intruder,scanning for intruder.So now we have free space.Yes, we can create a partition here.I guess just extended three would be fine.We should probably have some swap.Shit, I forgot.I know where we have swap.So at the mount point, Iguess we'll set this at 9,000.Oh shit I accidentally bumped.That was not what I wanted to do.Okay, well it doesn't looklike it made any changes.Let's set this to 9,000,beginning extended three, slash, boom.Hopefully that gives me thefree space of a gig left.I'll just use that for swap.That might be a bit of overkill,considering it's only a 40 gig drive.Actually, I don't know howmuch RAM is even on here?I don't even know the RAM on this thing.I haven't used it in so long.I guess we can justmake this the swap area.Again, a little bit of overkill,but whatever.There can't be more than agig of RAM in this computer.It's from 2001.I got this thing for 30bucks on eBay (laughing).You'll definitely see it onVintage Apple Vault, soon.I love this old iMac.The design, the swivelscreen and everything,that we could wiggle itaround everywhere, yeah.Boon forward.Okay, I clearly forgot something.No NewWorld boot partition was found.The yaboot boot loader(chuckling) requiresan Apple Bootstrap partitionat least, so let's see,819 kilobytes in size, usingthe HFS Macintosh file system.Well, we gotta fix that.So, let'sdelete, oh, oh, no, no, no, jump back.You asswipe!So I decided to undo a fewthings on the iMac over there.It's just loading some morestuff in the partitioner.In the meantime,I'm going to let the iBook do its thingand boot up into the live CD.I love the sound of the old disk drives.(clicking)You don't get that anymore.(robotic noises)Wicky, wicky, wicky,like your favorite,favorite, favorite, DJ J J.So, here's the free space.You might think, damn,that is a nice free space.We're gonna set this now to,we're gonna go NewWorld,♪ And all new worlds ♪(computer playing music)Whoa!The iBook over there, justwanted to bust into the party,and be like, yo, listento my amazing speakers.Two megabytes, I guess.Okay, I'm just gonna praythat I did that right.Going forward, hopefully it works.What is your name, son?My name...My keyboard's a littlehard to reach, shit.Curse the short cable.Why didn't I put the USB extender on here?I got this.Call me Ishmael.I'm just kidding.(horn honking)Whoa!(horn honking)That is an amazing sound.That's gonna be my alarm clock now.(horn honking)Oh, shit.Oh (bleep).I just ejected and rejected.De-injected?Anyway, I had no ideathe eject button wouldactually work on the live CD.I probably just effed everything up,but anyway, my name is Krazy Ken.Nice to me ya'.Choose a password.Alligator three, alligator three.We'll call it Krazy Kendesktop, and forward.Oh my mouse cursor's jumping around.I wanna see what the Advanced,oh, Popularity contest.I've never been good at those.All right, install.And something should happen.Now?There we go, oh, startingup the partitioner.Ah well, I'm sure itknows what it's doing.It's a professional.Okay, I don't know why,but the disk just ejected itself,while it was in the middle of formatting.Okay, I'm gonna pretendthat didn't happen.I seriously don't know why it did that.That was really bizarre.I don't remember that happening before.Right now, it's being weird.It's like stuck on the screen,and it just ejected the CD,while it was in the middle of this.I don't know why.And it gets ever weirder, over here.This guy doesn't even wanna turn on.I saw the purple screen come up.It said Ubuntu 10.10, andthen it did its thing.Nothing's even on the screen.I'm trying to look throughthe Apple logo on the back.I don't see anything on there.It's not just the backlight that's off,the screen itself isn't even coming on.Just to add to the complexities,the Krazy Ken curse isjust being mean to me,when I'm just trying tohave a little bit of fun.Of course it is.So, I'm gonna shut this baby down.(computer grinding)Oop, hang on.Well when I pressed a button,and now the CDs going crazy.But it's not doing anything,the screen's black.I'm just gonna hard reset,or hard shut down, boot back up.It was being weird.Oh yeah, the backlight was on.I could tell now, shit.So the screen was on,it just wasn't actuallyshowing like an interface.Really bizarre.Let's try that again.Bong.(computing dinging)Go to the boot picker.There's our little penguin friend.Good 'ole tux.All right, click, enter.Or, return, excuse me.And there we go.Ubuntu 10.10.That's exactly what happened last time.But then after this went away,the screen just went black.We're gonna try it again.Now we're gonna deal with the iMac.It's like having two misbehaving children.I'm still not sure what causedthe CD to eject while it waspartitioning, but it is hung.Nothing's happening,so I'm gonna try to...Oh, that's (bleep) great!I control alt deleted.I seriously have no ideawhat the (bleep) I just did.What's a squash file system?Whoa, I've never see that before.Okay, that was something (laughing).Maybe I shouldn't have done that,but maybe I should have.At this point, I really don't care.I just wanna get it working.Like in the good 'ole days.So while the iMac isdoing its thing (zipping),we got a desktop.Yeah, with a cursor!Oh man, it actually doesn't look too badon this old G4.That's cool.Let's take a look at the Wi-Fi thing here.I'm guessing it doesn't have a driver.Device not ready, firmware missing.That makes sense.I may have to manuallytransfer a driver over,to get the Wi-Fi working on here.But I know it has an antenna in here,because it works in Mac OS.So first, let's just install shit.I can already feel this going way smootherthan the iMac G4.I don't want to erase the entire disk,because I do have aLeopard partition on here.So I'm gonna split the disk up.Oh balls and wieners, I forgot.I don't really have a partition for Linux.Can I resize this?Probably not.I'm gonna have to do thatinside the Mac operating system, I bet.'Cause I don't wanna delete this.Do I even have anything on here?I probably can't mountthis in here, I bet.(touchpad clicking)Shit.I'm gonna have to do someresizing inside of the Mac OS,before I do a Linux installation,'cause I don't wanna riskwiping out the whole disk.Hey, roadblocks, no big deal.We'll come back to this later.I'm gonna reboot it.We're gonna go back to this stubborn iMac.Something is definitely not right.This iMac has been doingthis for about five minutes.So, hard reset?I think so.Sorry iMac, nothing personal.It's like you're strangling it.(computer dinging)I'll boot up the iBook while I'm at it.Back in the Mac OS.(computer dinging)I hope it's not too complicatedto follow these two plot lines.Just think of it likeone of those sitcoms,where there's like threedifferent plots going on at once.Yeah, 'cause everybody loves that.Ah, it's almost likewe're having a mini-race,except it was totally unfair,'cause I started them at different times.That one's got the Snow Leopard wallpaper,which is probably my favoriteApple desktop wallpaperthey ever made.But I meant to actually bootthat computer into Linux.So I'm gonna have to restart that again.Oh, man, I'm losing it.I can't keep track of thesetwo computers at once.I should of read my contract.I'm never doing a dualinstallation sensation again.All right, I'm gonna throwthat back into Linux,and this into disk utility.Let's make a partition forlike a Linux Playground,just to experiment with Linux.I should be able to just do this,do this.We're gonna add Linux, resize OS X, boom.That should be simple,that should just work,and we'll all be happy.I miss the barber pole.I really do.Well, your attitude appearsto be wrong, Mr. Ubuntu.Fine, we'll adjust the clock,and then you better leave me alone.The hard drive could be effed up now,'cause it was like 5% of the way throughlike a formatting operation.Then everything just locked up.I could've effed up the whole thing.This is fascinating.It looks like it detected something.The resize operation may take a long time.Yeah, you don't say (bleep).No, give me, asswipe!Okay, fine.We'll go back to manual mode (laughing).I really don't evenwanna read that anymore.(bleep) you bitch!Manual.What the shit, I want manual!Yeah, why did it take me like three clicksto make that work?Don't be a dick to me,I got enough going on.Come on man, just work.I know you can do it.Do you want to return to the partitioner?Dah dah dah dah dah, has notbeen marked for formatting.Yeah, anything under hda9, that's fine.That's any empty partition, it should be.My name is Krazy Ken.All right, theoretically,this should just work, right?Install, so now it'sgonna do the formatting,and hopefully not eject the CD on me.'Cause it did that last time,which was stupid.While it's doing that, let'stake a look at the iBook.So, I took a quick browseof the applications,just to see if I had anyspecial programs installed,just in case I had to erase everything.The funny thing is,apparently, the previous owner,had 2005 World Book on here,which I think that's kind of funny,because a viewer was actuallyjust asking me about thatfor a Krazy Ken episode, I think.It's like, hey, it's on here!So, cool, that's cool.Honestly, there's really not much on here,and not much that I, I canjust reinstall this stuff.It sounds like the diskis doing something,but this has been goingon for a long time.I don't even know if it's working.But, I know something thatis working, over there.Before that, I justwanna call out one thing.MATSHITA CD?I didn't need to know thatMat, keep that to yourself.But yes, gadies and lentlemen,this is now installing.I think we did everything right last time,but something ejected thedisk and effed it all up.It's working now, copying files, sweet.Now it's just a waiting game,'cause both computersare trying to load shit.Let's play Yahtzee, orSudoku, or something.So, status update, this is still copying.Fantastic, looks good.This is still modifying the partition map.Again, it sounds like thehard drive is doing something,but we've been stuck here for a long time.So, I don't know if I'm gonna be ableto really get Linux on here,'cause to be honest,I don't really know ifI wanna erase everythingthat's on here, right now.I might, but I have another backup plan.This might turn into a tripleinstallation sensation,because I have this Mac mini,which could potentially actas a router for that iMac.Let me explain.If I take the Mac mini,which doesn't have MacOS on it, right now,and I install Mac OS on it,I can use the internet sharing featureto use the Wi-Fi inside of here,I'll put it through Ethernet,and then into that iMac.And hopefully, it just picksit up as a wired network,and then connects to the internet.Here is the catch.In the lair, I onlyhave one Ethernet cable,and it is currentlyconnected to the router.So I need to yank the Ethernetcable from that router,thus, destroying access to Wi-Fi all over.So now it's like, what'sthe point, I have no Wi-Fi?Well, I have a cellular mobile.Somehow, I am able to getservice 10 stories underground.So, here's what I'll do.I will take a cellularsignal from the cell towerinto my phone.I will turn the hotspot onto my phone,and send the cellular data,over Wi-Fi, to the Mac mini.I will then have theinternet sharing featurein Mac OS, take the Wi-Fi,transfer it over Ethernet into this iMac,running Ubuntu for PowerPC.Possibly, just possibly,through all those stagesof conversion technology,will get this 2001machine on the internet,with Linux Ubuntu 8.04, or Ubuntu Linux,however you wanna say it.So yes, multiple stages.Lots of points for failure.But I wanted to get somePowerPC Linux installationonline today.That doesn't have a Wi-Fi card in it,and this thing is being naughty.So, we may have to go to atriple installation sensation,and then unify it down to asingular installation sensation,to bring the universe back into balance.Did you get all that,were you taking notes?Because that is probablywhat's gonna have to happen,if this doesn't startdoing something soon.Whew, that was a lot.I need a drink.Well, gotta get the Mac mini all set upwith this here monitor,because currently, it'sheadless, and I won't be ableto interface with it(cord banging) properly.All right, power.This'll be for the monitor, fantastic.Man, this is the most crowdedthis table's ever been.Holy bazonkers!Video, we need video.Where can I get some video at this hour?Aha, here we go.More conversion technology.We'll be coming out ofthe Mac mini with HDMI,and converting to DVI.Now I just need to getpower to the Mac mini.And I'm at a bit of an impasse.I think I am out of extension cords.This really is turning into a multi-step,overcomplicated, retro-fitting.But hey, sometimes that'swhat retro-fitting requires.That's kind of what makes it fun.Oh yeah, this, thatcord is a little tight.That's as good as it's gonna get, for now.Okay, that's all hooked up.It's just like a rat'snest/deathtrap of cords.If you're gonna walk through here,you might fall and die.So, this looks like theinstallation's complete though,so that's bueno.I'm actually gonna, yoink,steal your keyboard for a sec,and plug it into the Mac mini.'Cause I need to get thisthing into a recovery mode,and get the Mac OS back on here.(computer dinging)I'm throwing this into internet recovery,because from our pastexperiments with, I think,Linux Mint that we did on this computer,we don't have any other system software.Or, excuse me, operating system.Some people say I'm too old, I guess,'cause I say systemsoftware, but whatever.There's no otheroperating systems on here,just a broken version of Mint,so we need to clean the diskand put a fresh new copyof Mac OS on here.If you wanna check out those experiments,you can check 'em out right there.Lots of fun.So now while this isgoing into recovery mode,let's get that thing rebooted.Yoink, stole your keyboard,'cause I'm a rebel.Restart now.It looks like the volumeis showing up, yep.There we go, we have aCD and a hard drive icon,that's a good start.(moaning)(CD crashing)Ah, shit.Nice and toasty.Nothing like a warm CD, right?Then, return.Sweet, oh yeah!Psychedelic colors!It looks like it's booting.The colors are effed up,but it's doing something.Okay, while that loads,let's take a look at recovery modefor the quasi-router/Mac mini.I have just inserted thisbeautiful Belkin product.(mouse clunking)All right, we'll use English.Mountain Lion is gonna bethe system on here now.But that's okay, 'cause Mountain Lion hasthe functionality we needto do the internet sharing.No big deal, but first, let's make surethe partition table is reset backto just one single HFS+J volume.So you can see we havea couple leftover thingsfrom our Linux system.This was probably extended threeand then here, we have Linux.(drum banging)Whoa!Bongos!Donkey Kong's in the house.All right, we'll get back to that later.(sighing) What was I saying?So the Linux swap andthen this was probablythe extended file system thing for,I think Linux Mint was on here.So let's just go to the disk, partition.We'll just do one partition, and apply.(mouse clicking)That shouldn't take too long.Partition complete.Look at how easy that is.Now we're gonna do reinstall Mac OS X,untitled one, install.Oh, I didn't need to sign in at all.Wow, isn't that convenient.And there we go.We are now reinstalling Mountain Lion.So this computer can finally havea Macintosh system back on it.It hasn't had that in a while.Okay, let's switch back to the iMac.I do apologize that thisscreen is a little wonky,with the Dutch angle, butit is a little bit broken,so it doesn't actuallystay perfectly horizontal.In the corner here, we'll just (laughing),like have the Mountain Lion stalk us,just to keep track of thatover there (laughing).All right Ibuntu, do your thing.At least it sounds likethe sound is working.That's a good start.Hey, the menu bar animated in,or the panel, excuse me.This is a menu bar, this is a panel.Any questions?Yep, about panels.There you go, there's your proof, bitch.GNOME Panel 2.22.2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2.Linux for human beings.I'm one of those.Thank you for your Linux and,oh yes, Hardy Heron, that's right.It's the PowerPC version too.So while that's installing,let's just fiddle around a little bit.What do we got on here?We got Evolution, OpenOffice,the word processor,spreadsheet, presentation,the inter webs, graphics,GIMP, we've got GIMP, we got F-Spot.Oh games, oh I love blackjack.Hey Sodoku, we weretalking about that earlier.We may have to play us some Sudoku,although I suck at it.Tomboy notes, I always thoughtthat was an interesting name.Computing, basic strategy, all right.That's good to know.We're at 14, click to deal another card.How do I bet here?They busted, I win!Oh yeah!I have no idea how muchI actually bet though.I really don't, but I won.That's all that's important.Oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna hit there.21, bitch!Two in a row.Let's do that again.12, yes, I do like to live dangerously.I'm just kidding, I'm gonna hit.Oh I busted and they got16, so they stop there.House won.Well, that was fascinating.And we did some gambling, cool.Let's customize it up.Let's see, I'm going to deletethis panel, bum, bum, bum.And then I'm going togo to properties here,and I'm gonna put it on the bottom.Because I'm a rebel andI'm gonna make it biggerer.That's way too (bleep) big.Do, do do, oh, expand.So I can make it, yeah, itfeels kind of macOS-y now.I'm gonna do that.Background, oh I love this.I'm gonna do...I gotta do it, I know everything's orange,but (laughing) oh I can change that.Let's see, four, eight,six, zero, ac, I think it is.(mouse clicking)That didn't work.Four, eight, six, zero, ac.(mouse clicking)I guess I can't type in the hex code.Well, butter my biscuits.Anyway, that's one of our brand colors,so that's why I was tryingto get around there.Anyway, it's dark now, and I like dark.Get out of my face, get out of my face.Whoa, whoa, whoa.This is actually runningpretty damn smooth.It doesn't render thetransparency down there.I don't know if that'sprobably just because ofthe old graphics in here,or if that actually is alimitation of the older OS.But yes, this is an older system, PowerPC.The system came out seven yearsbefore this version ofLinux even came out.It's running okay.Well, now that I deleted that other menu,that's a bit of a problem.Let's add something to the panel.Then I should be able to go to my menu.Fantastic, that's really all I wanted.♪ Fun, fun for everyone ♪Appearance.Oh yes, all our awesome themes.Crux, Crux looks kinda cool.Oh yeah, I remember this,when you had the three tiers.Do they do that now anymore?I know there's other DEs,and compositors, and shit.I don't know if they do thelittle three tier thing anymore.I remember this.Let's crank it all the way up.I doubt it's gonna work.It's probably gonna go like,\"You're system is way toofreakin' old, you piece of shit.\"What do you want from me?\"I can't render all this.\"Yeah (laughing).Let's try normal.Now we have it customized a little bit.I'm just gonna clean someother things up here.That looks pretty gucci.I don't really need mail though.I don't really need help.I mean, we all need help, but (laughing).I feel like this should be, ah (bleep),I just got rid of, whatever.I'll just have the menuhere, keep it simple.There we go.This is actually prettycool to see a Linux desktop,but with the Apple hardware design.We can just show Linux offwith the swivel display here,or we can hunker downwith the spreadsheet.Tilt that screen up, work inside of GIMP.Swivel it around, show off our awesomeOpenOffice documents,to people (laughing).I'm just kidding.But anyway, it's cool tosee the Linux softwareon Apple hardware, like this.As for this Leopard thing,I'm gonna call that one a loss.I don't think it's gonna work.It's not resizing.(computer dinging)I don't really wanna wipe out the drive.I think our other solution will be fine.So I think it's okayif we let go of this particular computer.And that bong you just heardwas the Mac mini rebooting.Oh, voiceover, stop, shush.(keyboard clicking)I don't have the keyboard plugged in.I can't really do anything.Oh, shut up voiceover.I don't need you now, please.You're like a revolutionaryaccessibility feature,but I don't need youright now, but thank you.The thing that makes meuncomfortable with this,is I don't like to abort these operations,because I don't wanna eff-up the disk.But it looks like nothingis happening, at all.We can check the disk activity,but I've done this kind ofstuff on older computers before,and it has not taken this long.So something is wrong.But again, this was owned by someone else.There could be somebarnacles and crust on here.Okay, okay, okay, whoa!That changes things.The CPU is at max percentage here.So it's doing something.Disk activity, it doesn'tlook like it's doing much.Wait, report crash!Report crash is using 61%?(bell dinging)What, did somethingcrash in the background?Oh, and I have MAME open.That's probably not doing anything useful.Get out of here.Report crash is apparently doing somethingin the background.Something's not right.Disk utility's really not doing anything.The disk activity is really low,with very intermittent spikes.Something got screwed up.Oh, report crash is now gone.Nope, it's back.What the shit?That's weird.Disk utility, I'm justgonna have to quit you.Yep, it's gonna want my attention now.I'm just gonna quit.It's not working man.Yep, again, I'm just gonnaignore this one for now.We're just gonna focus on the iMac,and try to reel it all back in.It was worth a shot.But for now, I'm gonna shut this one down.Let's go take a look at the Mac mini,as we continue setting thatup as the router, if you will.Goodbye Leopard.Let's get this set up.Start using your Mac, today.Boom.You're welcome.Ah, the nice zoom animation, the galaxy.Oh, this is bringing back some nostalgia.Look at that.The old glassy dock.Beautiful.So, here's what I'm thinkingI'm gonna take my phone,my cellular mobile.I am going to go to, runningiOS 12 by the way, yes.Make sure the personalhotspot is on, which it is.Hopefully, this shouldbe able to connect to it.I have a bad feeling it's not gonnabe able to connect to it.Oh no it is, shit, that's right!Oh cool, it even hasthe hotspot icon, sweet.We'll save that for later.The other thing I need to set up thoughis internet sharing, which is right here.Perfect, Ethernet.Because this Mac ministill has Ethernet on it,which is cool.I'm going to internet share, from Wi-Fi,which will soon be my hotspot.Man, I haven't usedthis feature in forever.But I will tell you what.It's pretty useful in situationslike this, especially.So now, internet sharing ison, through the Ethernet.Perfect.Now I just need tohijack an Ethernet cord.To do that, I need to stealthe one and only Ethernet cable I know of,from the Wi-Fi router,thus, shutting down access to internetall over the asylum complex.I'm gonna have to be quick about it.Okay, looks like everythingis hooked up to this base station here.Let's just get the USB out of the way.There we go.Now the Ethernet.Give it a little jiggle,it's a little stuck.Is it time for tacos?No, it's not time for tacos.Come on, focus, focus.And got it.(alarm ringing)Oh shit, oh shit.Oh boy, oh, they're after me.Oh shit, oh they're after me.But I got it, I got it.Oh shit, here they come.(robo-dogs barking)You want a piece of this?You want a piece of this?(gunshots exploding)(alarm ringing)Okay, I think that's all of 'em.(dog barking)Ah!(gunshots exploding)Just die already.Man, oh, robo-dogs.You don't wanna mess with them.Think.Scan and assess.I think that's them all, okay.Whew, man.It was just an Ethernet cable!But, it's now ours.So we shall continue with our experiment.I'm gonna take our Ethernet.Plug it into the mini.And now, into the iMac.(plastic clicking)There we go.Now we just gotta make surethe hotspot's configured.Back to the system preferences.I'm getting a whopping3G signal, right now.So this might be a little sluggish.But again, 10 stories.So, go to the network.Ethernet's connected, fantastic.Wi-Fi is connected.That's not possible though.Because the router, that can't work.The router has no access to the modem.It's connected to the Wi-Fi,but it's not gonna beable to pull up anything.Yeah, there's no way.It's not gonna work.Let's switch to the iPhone.Let's see if we can get an IP address.Ethernet connected, Wi-Fi connected,and internet sharing should be on.If my calcumalations are correct,I didn't really factor in driver support,but assuming that the Ethernetdriver on that versionof Ubuntu on the olderiMac is functioning,we should be able toget that thing online,(hands slapping)grand finale.Let's have a look.(keyboard clicking)Waking up the computer.Let's go to network, internet.♪ Kill the video star ♪I probably shouldn't sing that.Sorry about the moirepattern on the screen, oops.I'm loading up Firefox,and let's go to one ofmy favorite websites,thecomputerclan.com.Page load error (bleep).It detected we have the network.Oh, connect to.Oh, oh, wait, what the peep?What the shit.I just did a little test here.I unplugged the Ethernet,and then it does disappear from the menu,so it does detect that it'sconnecting to something.But there's something else not right.I am trying to plug this sucker back in,without looking at it.(plastic clicking)All right, let's give it a sec.It already started spinning.Doing its thing.Reopen the menu, and then there it is.It says wired network.I don't know if this is evenrelevant to what we're doing.It detects that I havesomething plugged in,but it's not grantingus access, to anything.Maybe the internetsharing is not compatiblewith this older computer,and/or this older version of Linux.That's interesting.Wired connection with roaming mode, on,doesn't do anything.Roaming mode, off, witha static IP address,with the IP address is fromthe computer, the Mac mini,also don't do anything.It seems like I exhaustedall those options.I'm a little stuck.Well (chuckling), this is awkward.Those agents are probably gonnawant that Ethernet cable back real soon,so I don't have a lot of time.So here's the deal.We got the system installed.That was the main goal.I'm calling that a win.However, I had a stretch goal.I wanted to get this thing online.I'm calling that a loss.Right now, we're kind ofat a bit of a stalemate.(door banging)Oh crap,(muffled yelling)they're already coming.I gotta be quick.(door banging)If you see this,and you have an idea onhow to maybe fix thisand get this working,let me know(door banging)and I will try it again ina future tech video log,if I am alive.(muffled yelling)(muffled yelling)Good?Good, awesome.Thank you in advance for(door banging)helping me out.Crap, they're gonna catch me.Speaking of catching, like, no they won't.(door banging)I'll get away.But speaking of catching, catch the Krazy,and pass it on.I hope I make it out of this alive(door banging)(uplifting music)\n"
