JAL sky wifi in the domestic flight

JAL sky wifi provides the fared internet connection service in the domestic flight of Japan.  It also provides some free video entertainments including anime, sport, comedy, etc.


I enjoyed free videos very much during the flight.

Umegaemochi (梅ヶ枝餅), the baked rice-cake sweets, are very popular local foods.  The fleshly baked ones are delicious due to hotness and scroch.

Lubuntu 14.04.2 for PowerPC

I installed the second point release of lubuntu 14.04.2 cleanly on my powermac G5 (2.0G Dualcore, late2005, GeForce6600LE).  After installation, the openbox syntax error was shown.

On investigation, "lubuntu-rc.xml" file was missing on the specified location.  I copied this file from live CD to the specified location, then it works fine (till now ?).

On live CD
sudo cp /home/lubuntu/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml /media/lubuntu/[installed drive]/home/[username]/.config/openbox/

In addition, the yaboot parameter "nouveau.noaccel=1" was needed for 3.16.0-30 kernel (the original installed kernel of lubuntu 14.04.2), but unneceessary in updated 3.16.0-33 kernel, and the sound problem must be fixed manually in the same way as lubuntu 15.04.

Meegopad T01 can be supplied additional power via the data USB port

Meegopad T01 is very attractive.
From my experiences, at least 1.5A (5V) is necessary to boot OS (windows8.1).  OS doesn't start up on a low-ampere AC adapter.  However, T01 seems to be recieved power from another microUSB port (for DATA) additionally.  Then, dual low-ampere AC adapters can make T01 start windows8.1 at own risk.

Ubuntu MATE for PowerPC

I tried to install Ubuntu-MATE, newly released for PowerPC, on my powermac G5 (2.0G Dualcore, late2005, GeForce6600LE) following Lubuntu 15.04.
Unfoutunately, my powermac always froze and couln't be installed neither 14.04LTS nor 15.04 beta-1 although I used many yaboot parameters such as "video=ofonly", "nouveau.noaccel=1" and "nouveau.modeset=0".  

Stabilizing Wi-Fi of ECS LIVA

My ECS LIVA is used as a Wifi router.
The wifi connections would be sometimes disconnected.  I checked the properties of Broadcom 802.11abgn wireless SDIO adpater but the settings of wireless mode such as g-only or channel-fixing were missing.
After some my trials, "BSS PLCP Header > long" on advanced tab improved my wifi conditions.
