Please avoid this in further replyes:
a) āif you want or demand to be just stupid & happy - then use the Microsoft Windowsā (I dont want to buy new computer just becaue of actual supported operating system on commercial basis, also I care about the nature - this netbook still works, maybe Bill Gates and Melinda have the money - me not)
b) āif the Linux Mint works then use it instead of thisā (I dont like it, I like gnome2 traditional Ubuntu menu, also Mint bothers me with agressive wi-fi seletion which is not organized on same way like in Ubuntu MATE)
After checking the topic of Wolfman the system informs me (VIA Terminal) that the package libllvm4.0 was automatically installed and is no longer required, after using āsudo apt autoremoveā system removes 53.4Mb of somethingā¦ Kernel 4.10.0-38 still not deal on the right way with Intel 945 chipset, but 4.10.0-28 works fineā¦
And just to be more clear - I allways select MAIN SERVER as default server for the updates.
To be more worse someone āvery smartā (from the Intel company) removes the download source for the 16.04 Intel 945 driver
So many smart people so big mess around as the result
If you dont know what to do then go to theā¦ toiletā¦
By the all of these years of using the computer I figured out one thing:
If you have any kind of issue with the free operating systems - support will shut up,
but if you have issue with the commercial systems - support will fool you around just because you have paid for it
I have no single problem with pre-partioning process active, primary or logical partition typeā¦
there are two methods:
a)
/boot
/
swap
or b)
/
swap
also no matter which type I choose ext4 or ext2
the problem is same - after replacing the initial kernel with the new one
I can enter the system only under awful 800X600 resolution
So I am forced to choose every time initial kernel from the boot menu if I want to work normally in 1024X600
So the question is still - how to fix or reinstall graphics with the latest kernel update?
Ok, okā¦ this problem occurs only on my machine, my friends dont have no single issue with graphics, no matter which version of kernel they use.
And one more thing:when I enter the system under 800X600 there is no possibility in screen settings to choose higher resolution
When I use initial kernel - 1024X600 exists, also if this resolution is applied wide on the system, there is no changes if I choose new kernel after reboot.
Hmā¦ something is weirdā¦ I mean that I am finally enter the Ubuntu Mate 16.04 normally using the latest kernelā¦ some kind of software stupidity
First, I found this useful link:
ok, itās for nVidia but there is one useful advice that works
**_Reboot into GRUB._**
_ Highlight the Ubuntu option and press E._ _ Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of the line beginning with linux._ _ Press F10 to boot._
even this process I must repeat few timesā¦
reinstalling the xorg didnt help, only this command line
Iāve noticed graphics are smoother, firefox looks little different with this kernelā¦ butā¦ how to set mentioned command as automatic process during the boot instead to type it every time?
changing the screen resolution in GRUB is not really going to help you I wouldnāt think?. As I said before, Intel drivers are in the kernel so you must have another problem?, do you have a double GPU set-up? (switchable graphics), what is the make and model of your computer?.
Try using the latest version of Ubuntu Mate (Beta), it may simply solve the problem for you?.
I am little confused, now going to reboot and use kernel: 4.13.0-28 to see the differences
(for initial kernel no need to type nouveau.modeset=0 in GRUB)
Well, the only difference (after rebooting) is the version of the kernel module.
Now I am under 4.10.0-28 (32bit) and not under 4.13.0-38-generic i686 (32bit)
Something make this mess but I am just simple user and just wonder - WHY?
For sure I will migrate to the new version but as I mentioned before 2 days:
lacking of software that I use (software boutique) by the default
missing APP GRID software centre
system booting fine with the both kernels (initial one and the second after update) but some games works fine other flickers or get too slow
Look, as the many others, when the Amiga Project was ended I migrate to PC with Microsoft Windows. Also order (in the past) free Ubuntu discs and keep them nowdays as the priceless artefact (Ubuntu 5.10)ā¦ The Ubuntu MATE offers that traditional look like. Other Ubuntu editions are lacking with software centres or have different organization of desktop which slows me down in the work.
In the short period of time, because of UNITY (s)hell, Iāve migrated to Linux Mint but the discovering of Ubuntu MATE was big happiness for me
Please guys, if it works donāt fix it
Everyone have an idea what to change things on the working stuffā¦
and flee off when applied Ideas make mess
For the things I love, I can be stubborn and persistent
(Iām afraid Iām not like that for other things)
Especially because for the first time I have someone who wants to help
This is an interesting proposition
The partitions are fine
Let me take advantage of my experience
Even in Microsoft Windows, the system canāt boot if something is wrong with the periphery or BIOS settings
Once was supposed to replace the USB mouse to make the system work.
And hereās a lot more silly thing - HDD must be first on device boot list
but was not because Linux installs via USB flash
I can not believe this was a problem?
HDD to be the first boot device
To whom can this come to mind?
Wolfie,
Thanks for the idea about hardware-related parameters
Ich will dir einen schƶnen Tag
try using 17.10 and the 64 bit version if you can (I still donāt know what your computer specs are, by that I mean the make and model!).
You are using the 32 bit version which might be part of the problem?, what is your partition layout like?, do you have separate root and home partitions?.
And now, after these few months of nervousness, I am in doubt to open new topic:
WHY KERNEL 4.10.0-28 (32bit) DONāT CHECK THE DEVICE ORDER
BUT 4.13.0-38-generic i686 (32bit) DO?
If your spec sheet is correct, your hardware list is showing the 945 GPU but you should have the 950 and this may well be the problem but I am not sure?.
All I can suggest is you try the later versions, either 17.10 or go with the 18.04 beta which as I said before, does work!.
Yes, the specs are correct 945 is on board
Checked by MATE system, Windows system, even in the manual booklet which comes in the box and so...
One more time, I've reinstalled the system (and update it)
Now I am running under Kernel: 4.13.0-37-generic i686 (32 bit gcc: 5.4.0)
Desktop: MATE 1.12.1 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3) info: mate-panel dm: lightdm
Distro: Ubuntu 16.04 xenial
Kernel 4.13.0-38 is in pre-realise update section
anyway - both needs to set computer's HD as a first boot device in BIOS
Also, first run will failed (normal graphics are not shown on screen) and after first ctrl-alt-del (or power button), next time will start correctly
I repeat - Linux Mint have the same problem with kernel 4.13.0-37 but they fix it in the kernel 4.13.0-38,
on the other hand Ubuntu MATE team didn't check some new (or bad) programmer's routine.
And if I swap Linux Mint's kernel 4.13.0-38 with Ubuntu MATE's official one, I receive normal graphics (with Mint logo) but no connection to the internet when enter the MATE system but no need to set HD as the first boot device.
This problem does not exists in initial kernel which comes with the system installation.
So, it's more than clear some systems are affected by the new routine in the kernel module and reflects with this graphical issue until the computer's HD is not set as the first boot-up device.
I am just simple user with some experience and also hope the experienced programmer will acquire enough information from this what is actually going on.
Ok, I will WAIT for STABLE EDITION of 18.04 because I am little tired of re-installing
and obviously (by the accident) I find the way how to run last kernel
(the initial one always can be chosen from GRUB menu)
the system informs me (VIA Terminal) that the package libllvm4.0 was automatically installed and is no longer required, after using āsudo apt autoremoveā system removes 53.4Mb of somethingā¦ Kernel 4.10.0-38 still not deal on the right way with Intel 945 chipset, but 4.10.0-28 works fineā¦
