I eventually switched to Linux! (ex: [Abandoned] Switching to Linux)


Recommended Posts

Hope is back! I managed to launch the live cd (in nomodeset, for those who know) and reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04.1. This time I didn't allow the updates to be installed during installation  and I selected "security updates only" afterwards. Now Ubuntu starts normally; my cards seem to be supported and I'm installing Unity (the game engine).

Problem is: I cannot select where I want Unity to be installed... (sigh)

Next step: try Unity.

Anyway, hope is back! :toast:

Update: Unity starts; I've even managed to import an existing project that was begun under W7 and everything went fine. It lags though... I'll see tomorrow if things behave better.

I'm losing my sanity over this. I installed some updates and now I'm asked for my password on login; I enter it one time, ten times, a hundred times and it's refused. I tried to load the live session from the disc: doesn't work.

Is anyone here using FreeBSD?

I'm using FreeBSD, though I consider it more of a server system than a desktop one: which isn't to say it isn't a perfectly capable desktop system, but Linux has the edge with software availability which may or may not be ported to FreeBSD, especially where things like proprietary stuff is concerned.  So I run both, FreeBSD (not sure of the exact version offhand, some fairly recent revision of -CURRENT because "ooh the new shiny things" tends to trump being sensible in my case) and Linux Mint on my desktop: although Cinnamon isn't the most comprehensive desktop it is nice and easy to configure and mostly does what I want, and Mint is a nice and easy install too, speaking as someone who once swore at Gentoo quite a lot, and has all of Ubuntu's package availability.

That said, I still run a Windows 7 PC for games, too*, as I'm one of those performance freaks (well, more of a motion-sickness freak to be honest, so I need to keep my fps up.  Well, that and I'm becoming too lazy to expend more than the minimum amount of effort to getting something to work).

I vaguely remember having a password "issue" myself when installing Mint.  I think "sudo passwd username" from its shell fixed that one, but it struck me as being a bit of an oversight; either that or a not especially helpful policy decision.

* so, yeah, I run three PCs.  And a laptop.  And my desk also has a couple of Vaxes and a BBC Micro hiding under it for good measure.  I also need to do a stocktake of whatever is lurking in the garage. :/

That sounds like it's not running on the radeon card. You probably need to set up that gpu switching stuff I mentioned earlier.

I can't find much Ubuntu specific information on this that's recent and for this specific hardware setup, so we'll have to try the instructions from the Arch wiki. If I understand it correctly, everything that's needed should already be installed, and all that needs to be done is to configure it.

You need to open up a terminal (the commandline thing) and run a few commands. Post the output of these here, because we need it to do the next part.

This command should tell if the APU is actually being used instead of the Radeon card. (If it shows the radeon card then I've gotten everything wrong XD)

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

Then run this command. It should list all the cards on the computer, but it might only list the APU so don't worry if that happens.

xrandr --listproviders

 

Edit: You actually need to install mesa-utils to run the first command.

sudo apt install mesa-utils

Thank you for your help! :)

It appears that I'm still starting Ubuntu on "nomodeset"; I cannot start it otherwise, if I try the computer just restarts. Maybe this will influence the results of the commands. Somebody says that PRIME should have started by default and that I should find another distribution that actually boots.

mesa-utils seems to be already installed; the other commands return:

anne@GX60-Ubuntu:~$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

In case it could help, here is the result of the command inxi -Fxz:

Hmm, I think maybe using another distro might be the way to go. I wish I could recommend Arch, but installing it is way too much for someone who's new to Linux. But maybe a distro from the Arch family, like Manjaro, could work. I've heard of people using it as an easy way to install Arch then modifying it to turn it back into vanilla Arch.

I bet it won't boot either...

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated! :)

I'm going to keep Ubuntu for now, for my everyday needs and keep using Unity with Windows.

My latest adventure: I spent half of the night saving my Windows 7 volume, and I made it! :woohoo:

What happened is that Ubuntu was originally installed on the Windows 10 partition, that was very small. I decided that it deserved a larger home, so I resized and moved the Wndows 7 partition, created new partitions for Ubuntu and installed it. On reboot, Ubuntu was perfect; Windows 7 was less than perfect: broken mbr. Having the disc I fixed the mbr and rebooted. And this is where serious things began: Windows 7 booted on a "provisional" profile, no desktop, no explorer, nothing, not even an internet connection... Full reinstall was looming on the horizon, but I decided that it wouldn't happen, not this time! :noway:

I searched the internet, found several solutions, tried them, to no avail.

I searched the internet again, found other solutions, tried them, to no avail.

I searched the internet again and this time found something that I felt could work.

In the meantime I had noticed what was wrong: when the Windows 7 partition was resized and moved, it lost its original letter C and got a new once, D. I immediately knew that this was the problem. At first, I tried changing the letter in command line but changing the letter of a volume containing a bootable partition is simply forbidden. Adding to this, it appeared that the partition was not active either. It was time to apply the last solution, which involved modifying the registry.

In case this happens to you too, that, for some reason the letter of your bootable partition is not "C", here is what to do:

  1. start Windows and let it create a provisional profile,
  2. use Ctrl+Alt+Del and start the task manager,
  3. use the task manager to start "explorer.exe",
  4. once the explorer started, right click on the waste bin that will appear on the desktop and select "open" (it won't open otherwise),
  5. in the explorer, go to "Computer" and see what letter your partition has; take note of it,
  6. use the task manager to start "cmd.exe", the terminal,
  7. in the terminal run the command
    diskpart
  8. on the prompt, run the command 
    list volume
  9. run the command
    select volume n
    where n is the number of the partition that contains Windows,
  10. run the command
    active

    in order to make the partition active,

  11. quit Windows; you don't need to save anything.

You now need to fix the mbr again:

  1. Boot from the Windows 7 installation DVD
  2. At the “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD…”, press any key to boot from the DVD
  3. Select a language
  4. Select a keyboard layout
  5. Click Next
  6. Click "Repair your computer".

This won't modify the letter though. Start Windows again, wait until it has created the profile, redo steps 1 to 5 included, then:

  1. use the task manager to start "regedit.exe",
  2. develop "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon" and change the value of "Userinit" on the right, from "C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe," to "userinit.exe,"
  3. develop "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices",
  4. locate on the right "\DosDevices\x:" where "x" is the letter of the partition that needs to be modified back to "C",
  5. right-click "\DosDevices\x:", and then click Rename and modify the name into \DosDevices\C:.

Done! Windows should now start normally.

To finish this, start Windows, launch regedit.exe, develop "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon" and change back the value of "Userinit" on the right, from "userinit.exe," to "C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe,".

Go to the "Users" directory and delete the provisional profiles that were created.

Oh, I'm so happy I managed this! :D:D:D

:pc: Negotiiating with computers.

When the boot order is out of alignment, one can:

1. Change the bios order to boot from the drive of choice, then run repair or install for the 2nd O.S. to be installed using a 2nd drive. Assuming the O.S recognizes mbr & O.S.

2. If only one drive is in the system, choice 1 is not an option, boot from portable os or 'pre installed environment' PE instead.

3. If that fails, muck with it and keep track of the softwares 'boot order'.

Good job!:good:

Time to revive this old thread, since I eventually switched to Linux! Successfully, this time. :P

I installed Linux Mint 19.3 Xfce and managed to make it work as I wanted. This version offers NVidia drivers for my graphic card which solves many problems I had in the past. Now everything I could do under Windows 7, I can do under Linux!

I can use Unity to make my game almost in the same conditions I could under Windows 7, I have a slight overheating problem with it though. I followed a tutorial about how to limit computer overheating problems with Linux and added the recommended tools (TLP, Thermaid and CPUfreq) and I'm happy with them. The tutorial is here. As for the overheating problem with Unity, I can start an additional fan by pressing a button on the keyboard; I don't like it much to use that button but it's far better than having to rely on fans that I cannot control directly. That's what I like in the MSI computers.

I'm getting used to it slowly but I'll make it eventually:

  • After struggling with the settings, I eventually managed to have my main programs start centred on the screen. The settings was not clear at first sight, which is why it took me several days  to get it. The trick is setting "Minimum size of windows to trigger smart placement" to "large", the default setting being "small" and selecting "At the centre of the screen".

  • I was missing a clock that could be installed on the desktop, I found one today: Time Zone Clock (aka Cairo-Clock), link to the developer's site.
  • The store offers a wide range of apps to use, among them a vast quantity of games:

Linux Mint also offers nice customization for their environment allowing to choose different windows themes, light and dark. I easily found the right look for my installation. I also spent part of yesterday evening searching for background images and here is my desktop today:

Looks like I'm on the right track now. :D

Yep, I am aware it's a laptop, and the hardware really isn't that bad. Good processor, decent vid card. But, it still has a fan, and a heat sink. You would be amazed at some of the stuff I have found in laptop heat sinks..... especially from folks that had pets.... (angora cats, or bunnies, are the worst. :) )
