  Old graphics card may need a particular driver
Posted by: kat - 11-18-2020, 11:22 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (1)

Hi, guys,I cleaned installed linux-lite 5.2 64bit to an old xp desktop with 2G ram. I know, it should be a 32bit iso, but it doesn't work that good either. It's graphics card is an oldie and not an easy one to find software online for and install. The software I do find is for older Ubuntu distros and is in tar.gz form. Linux-lite and several other linux distros, even Puppy Linux, I have tried give me only part of the video driver, (I think it's openchrome or something) to use which does help with the display size, but online video is so very choppy. This graphics card is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc: K8M800/K8N800/K8N800A [S3 Unichrome Pro] (rev 01)
I'm not that knowledgeable about linux systems. Any help would be so nice. I just hate the choppy online thing going on. I know it's just the video card driver. It does have AMD cpu but that crazy graphics card. Would an amd driver work instead?Thanks, Karen

  Slow boot time with Linux Lite 5.0
Posted by: EstieMalka - 11-18-2020, 07:14 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hello,
I am new both to the forums and a relative newb to Linux. I installed LL 5.0 on an older laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525, Intel Duo Core). I really like LL, but it was booting up very slowly (up to 3 minutes). I deleted LL, replaced it with Puppy Linux, but I'd rather have LL again (as the only distro --and only OS-- on my hard drive).

After searching the forum for a solution, I noticed that the release notes for 4.0 included a solution for this problem, as follows:

(From https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/relea...-released/)

Code:
sudo apt purge virtualbox*
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd-service.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd-service.service

Does this work with the 5.0 release to make it boot up more quickly?

Thanks!

  Bootup, grey denim pattern curiosity
Posted by: d0ugparker - 11-17-2020, 09:51 PM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

What's the name of the bg pattern that displays on the screen on startup, and how is that created, programmatically or tiled image, or other?

  Do I have to logout to access the installation start?
Posted by: d0ugparker - 11-17-2020, 09:16 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

If I run LL live on a thumb drive, is there a way to start the installer from that live session, or do I have to log out and reboot to access the installation start option from the thumb drive's boot option menu?

I looked at the 'all application' and 'system' list but found nothing helpful. The Synaptic installer seemed hopeful, and a few others looked potentially promising, but it looks like it's been set up so I'll have to reboot, probably because of the need to unmount drives and partitions.

Hello all.

Just introducing myself. I'm back to Linux, and Linux Lite, after a hiatus. Still a Linux neophyte, though, but eager to learn.

Cheers,

  Rotated screen, mouse works, touch screen remains unrotated
Posted by: d0ugparker - 11-16-2020, 04:20 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

(Posted on reddit, but I received no answer, so I'm posting here. I did do a search here on LL, but... no joy.)

I installed LL on an ITX motherboard system with an LG touchscreen, portrait-oriented monitor, then went to Settings > Display to rotate it. Cool. The mouse works as expected, but I wasn't ready to have the touch screen broken out as its own x,y-oriented device.

So now, when I use the mouse, everything's great. When I tap the screen, however, the touch screen still registers unrotated touches, 90° off where they're expected. Quirky-funny, too, in a nerdy sort of way--"Oh, yeah? Take that, and that, and that-that-that!"

I peeked into the virtual screen settings, and found two locations where there were *rotate* values set to zero, I changed them to 90, but got zero change, so I set them back. I thought about needing to reboot, but figured it wouldn't be necessary.

Any suggestions where to go poking around to marry up the touch screen with its touches so the mouse and touch coincide?
