Hello,
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an elderly PC (AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core
5200+), with onboard graphics.
At first sight, everything looks fine, until I try to log in . After
typing my password at the login screen, I get a flickering screen, with
an error message popping up every couple of seconds.
To be able to get the error, I had to take a picture of the screen with
my mobile. Basically, the error says:
" compiz crashed with SIGSEGV "
This behaviour is the same regardless if I boot the installed system or
if I use the "Try Ubuntu" without installing the system.
Potential solutions found by googling refer to problems with some Intel
graphics, so I guess they are not relevant. Or booting another kernel,
but there is none. Etc.
I have also tried the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, which shows all the same
behaviour. (I thought 18.04 might have too high requirements to the
hardware, so I switched to an older version).
Does anybody have an idea how to get around this?
Regards,
JJ Mouris
Hello,
I have a question concerning Linux and drivers of some hardware. I have a Netbook Asus EEEPC 1101HA and I installed Xubuntu 18.04.1 on it and the hardware which is not working is the Touchpad. When I am connecting an external optical Mouse, the cursor is moving, but not with the Netbook own Touchpad. How can I make the Touchpad running?
Best regards
