After following all advice about removing bluez and turning sound off: our test unit is still completely unusable.

We apparently have the worst of all possible worlds - a G5 system with the known sound and power (fan) problems, but also the bluetooth problems.

The root prompt from "Linux single" occasionally just hangs, particularly inside the vim editor. We managed to edit gdm.conf to shut sound off and also use apt to remove bluez, but only with multiple reboots between editing attempts.

Regular bootup produces the GDM login, which is now barely functional We can type the user login data, but then GDM simply hangs with a stationary mouse cursor on screen and nothing else. We have original Apple wireless mouse and keyboard (no USB, sorry).

DAPPER FINAL DOES NOT FUNCTION ON OUR SYSTEM AT ALL EVEN WITH THE KNOWN WORKAROUNDS.

We're puzzled by the priority assignments of these dramatic hardware bugs. Bugs which completely prevent use of the OS merit maximum priority. Some of these bugs have been lying around a long time, too.
