Video Hardware Acceleration HP Zv5000 N-videa

Hi Guys,

Does anybody know if it is possible to install Linux Mint 17.1 on a Acer EEEPC.

My old computer which I am using at the moment and running Linux Mint 17.1 displays the message 'Running in Software Mode without video hardware acceleration'

'There could be a problem with your drivers'.

My old computer is running quite slowly.

I have a option to buy a Acer EEEPC so was wondering if I shouldnt replace my old old computer with the Acer.

Any help appreciated

Good evening;
Following instructions on-line I attempted to create a bootable USB drive (32GB Sandsik extreme) with Linux 17.1 installed to enable a trial before attempting a permanent install beside windows 7 on a new computer with Win7 prof. installed.

On the usb I see a 4.0 GB area highlighted in G Parted but not accessible from the Linux file manager. This shows up as a ~1.4 GB sub-directory titled casper. and also as 4.0 GB 'file' named casper-rw. Can anyone explain what is the purpose of this sub-directory? The software I used to create the usb bootable drive and install Linux to is 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.9'. This is a windows executable. My intent was to create a bootable usb drive for Linux that also contained my required hardware drivers, etc. This doesn't appear to be working 100%; although Linux 17.1 boots the nvidia hardware drivers do not appear to be available even though I downloaded these and they are on the same usb. On boot-up a message box indicates that hardware acceleration is not enabled and higher than normal processor usage may occur.

Any assistance / direction, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Regards;
Mike

Hello people, im not really new with linux per say, but its the first time that i have this problem, i makes me feel like a newbie!!

well, this is the problem, i've just install linux 17.1 rebecca on my new computer. the installation goes well as usual, but when i log in, appears a new message "running in software rendering mode" and it doesn't recognize my video card, nor i can connect to internet to get the drivers. So i dont know that to do. i would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

P/D: Sorry for my english!!

My computer:

MotherBoard: Gigabyte 990 fxa-ud3
Ram: 8gb
Graphic card: Msi Geforce gtx 960 2gb
Cpu: Amd Fx8320
power sup: sentey 650w

When I installed mint today from cd, I had to use the save-mode because of the nvidia card. So I was aware I had to change driver after install.

Right after install I checked these '10 thing to first do after install'.
http://itsfoss.com/things-to-do-afte...mint-16-petra/
I did these
Improve battery life
Change screensaver timing
Install RAR

Then I checked the driver manager to deal with the graphic driver. I tried all 3 in the driver manager, but with each mint crashes with this message right after login.

Quote:
cinnamon just crashed you are currently running in Fallback Mode
It asks if I want to restart, click 'yes' and it just refreshes the screen with the same message. click 'no' the message goes away but cinnamon does not work.

So I don't know if its crashing because of the driver or because of those things I changed after the install.

I googled some and this issue is all over linux forums, but I can't find a solution anywhere.

To prevent spamming your awesome forum, and to most efficiently find an answer to my problem, should I post my problem in the hardware or software sub-forum?

I am having a problem with a new video card I installed: The nvidia driver for my GTX 570 will not load properly. Because it is a new video card and prevents me from using my monitor properly, I feel like it should go in 'hardware'. On the other hand, because it is a driver problem, I feel like it should go in 'software'.

Because I don't have much experience in this forum, I wasn't sure and thought it would be best to ask for now as well as future reference.

Thank you in advance!

I've recently bought The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, and I can't get it to work with wine no matter what I do. I've followed this tutorial, which just gives me a white screen when I run the installation exe, I've run the script from POL, which gives me the same white screen when I run the exe, and I've tried running it with just wine, giving me the same result. I've tried using opengl in the "display" tab on play on linux, which does't do anything. I've tried installing some components such as vcrun, doesn't help. I've reinstalled play on linux and wine, didn't do anything. And I've tried installing steam and then installing the elder scrolls online from steam and it doesn't do anything.

"playonlinux.log" from installation script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11549385/

"playonlinux.log" from this video: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11549531/

When I start up the installation exe it will bring up a window that looks like this (sometimes the text doesn't show up) or bring up a crash dialog that looks like this. Then When I press "go" or the blank button depending on whether or not the text decides to show up, it will bring up a fullscreen white window and then it will shrink down and freeze, not doing anything or showing anything. Sometimes it will bring up a window like this when I press "go", frozen, saying "play on linux is installing your application."

I'm using the latest version of Manjaro, just updated. And I'm using the "video-catalyst" proprietary drivers. Note that I did get it working with my laptop by just running "wine Install_ESO.exe" and it worked fine. The only difference is the hardware and the drivers, both are running manjaro. Does it only work with open-source drivers?

If any of you have any help, I'd appreciate it. If there is any log files you need I can provide them.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening

As my subject line states I am trying to upgrade the MOBO/CPU/RAM on a system that has Mandrake 9.2 as the OS. Everything is terribly outdated on it, but unfortunately the OS is running a custom program that I did not develop and talking to the developer seems to be an impossible task. I have no working knowledge of any Linux based OS, so I am trying to get pointed in the right direction on possible troubleshooting that may occur. The system is not connected to the internet so it wont be able to automatically update the necessary drivers that I already know. I haven't gone forward with the upgrades as of yet, one because I am waiting on the CPU to arrive and two because my lack of knowledge makes me hesitant. I know that someone is thinking why not just upgrade the OS, the reason behind that is because I am unsure on if the custom software will even run on it. Any help would be appreciated.

tl;dr
Will I be able to just plug and play the new hardware as long I have the correct drivers?

I get kernel panics and computer shut down when trying to install and run Linux Mint 17 Mate and Linux Mint 17.1 on an older HP laptop. The laptop is a Pavilion dv 5140 with 2.0GHz AMD Turion chip, 2.0 Gigs ram and 120GB hard drive. Linux is the only software installed on the computer. Yet, I think my problem is probably related to the hardware? Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this situation? Thank you.

i was suggested by a friend to use linux because my laptop was running slow. it worked fine for a few weeks but one day i turned my laptop on and i got a message that cinnamon has crashed & is running in fallback mode. i did what it suggested and tried to restart cinnamon but when i pressed the restart cinnamon icon the cursor just when back to the middle of my screen and the icon came back up again saying that cinnamon had crashed. ive searched on many forums looking for a salution to fix my problem but most of them i need to use my termenal which i cannot access.could someone please help me out with this problem. just a little heads up im not a computer programer or webpage designer

I have been flailing trying to get a web server running on Fedora 21.

Finally did so.

I have my iptables working (me thinks) as they should. I can connect from my Linux box (local) or from my Mac on the same network/subnet.

Problem is in my "travels" I have somehow trashed my firewall-cmd.

I was adding parameters to it w/o issue. E.G
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
Then restarting firewall-cmd
firewall-cmd --realod

This was all working. I "fixed" my problem with connecting to my web server from other LAN workstations (iptables issues) and was going back to see if all was well. Now when I try to restart I get a:
FirewallD is not running
That from my "reload" command above.

Have I fixed my web server issue or is my world wide open att?

Assistance, as always, greatly appreciated.
