lubuntu 14.04 ppc errors

[farinet at arcor.de]

Since i did not really understand, where and how to go better, for the
ppc problems, for the moment i continue to post here:

Aside all errors (and some others as well) i discovered that sound
absolutely does notwork. So, i decided to erase the lubuntu-ppc and went
to try a Debian Jessie. That worked by far better, frankly. But may be
that's due to the fact i pretty much installed the desktop from scratch.

Some things i noted: Eventhough outdated, i find that the installation
of powerprefs (gui on top of pbbuttonsd) and pommed and gpomme helps to
better control over Fn and special keys.

I also found a neat instruction on ubuntuforums how to get - in debian -
the ubuntulike fontrendering (one of the main (l)ubuntu advantages
imho). All seamed to work fine so far ... BUT:

Unfortunately, also in debian i'm unable to get sound. Here are the
outputs (pretty much the same as in lubuntu 14.04-ppc):

(It's the same using lshw or hwinfo)

"Failed to Detect Sound Card" now, sounds hard to resolve to me. Since
the sound is there in the PB - the startup chime works! -, seems to me
that's a kernel problem.

And, sincerely, without sound, a portable is not that much useful. For a
headless server/router that might be fine anyway, but not for a laptop.
So, may be one should downgrade the kernel? And if so, down to which
one? (As far as i personally realized kernel < 3.2 had a working
powermanagement - but would that be work together with lubuntu 14.04?

Or is there out there someone, who has a solution?

Thanks in advance for your patience!
