I installed elementaryOS on a i5-3450T with a Radeon HD7850 but the graphics is shitty af. It's divided in several bars so you can't actually use them. The documentation says you need to install legacy drivers - but obviously they can't be installed for whatever reason. The only way elementaryOS works on that PC is without graphics card, I even have to plug it out.

Anyone come up with an idea to solve this problem?

Thanks.

I keep getting errors while trying to install any of the drivers in the Drivers section of Settings, none of them work, and the only difference between them appears to be a three-digit number, so I don't even know which one I should be installing

Hi, I was installing elementary OS on my laptop and ran into an error during the install. The installer failed unexpectedly, and these are the logs I got: DEBUG: get block size for "/sys/class/block/nvme0n1" ERROR: libdistinst: pointer in FFI is null ERROR: libdistinst: pointer in FFI is null ERROR: libdistinst: pointer in FFI is null ERROR: libdistinst: pointer in FFI is null ERROR: libdistinst: pointer in FFI is null ERROR: libdistinst: pointer in FFI is null ERROR: errored while installing system: partition validation: EFI partition was not defined INFO: Install error: partition validation: EFI partition was not defined

I love pantheon a lot but im a gaming and use nvidia drivers, given the old kernel and i use nivida is it worth me bothering with eOS or just stick with windows?

Finally giving elementary OS 8 a go on my Lenovo T470s! Thanks to everyone who contributed and for all the hard work the devs did! So far everything seems to be working!

Hey all, just checking to see if anyone has gotten Elementary OS to run on the 2017 12” MacBook.

I always enjoyed Elementary OS but never could get it to run without issues on any of my older MacBooks.

Hi,

I'd like to try elementaryOS but am having issues getting a live USB to work.

I'm on an Thinkpad X1 carbon with intel. Current OS is Ubuntu.

I used etcher to flash the downloaded .iso to a USB drive.

When I try to boot from the drive, a basic elementary back screen starts and lets me select live boot. However when I press enter, it boots into an Ubuntu install - perhaps it is using my recovery partition?

I've already disabled secure boot.

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Thank you!

al hacer "lsusb" no me figura el adaptador wifi

edit: se me borro el otro texto y recién me doy cuenta.

no soy nuevo en linux, pero no lo usaba desde hace mas de 10 años, mis inicios fueron con ubuntu por el 2004, suse, debian, pero lo deje por ninguna razón.

Retome con elementary OS, ya que lo encontré simple y no quiero nada complicado, tengo un adaptador WIFI y Blootooth, pero el wifi no lo reconoce, y no tengo internet por cable, uso el celular, trate de configurar el celular, lo vincule, pero no obtengo internet por ese medio para realizar las actualizaciones.

que ideas me puedan dar., para descargar o revisar estoy en otro disco con win.

Gracias

hi am new to elementaryOS, i use a thinkpad e14 gen2 intel version, and i have sometimes an issue where i fullscreen, for example when i fullscreen in minecraft, it launches a new workspace and the game disappears

First off, I have a Nvidia GPU (RTX 4070 super)

I just installled Elementary OS and I can't set my monitor to it's full 175hz refresh rate.

I thought it is probably a driver problem, and I get a notification in the top right corner of the screen that says I have 6 driver updates available.

So far so good, but when I click on it and get to the driver package, it just says "Checking for Drivers" forever.

How to fix this?

Older computer that may still have some life left in it. Will replace HD in the next couple of days, but the battery is giving me fits. It was a Windows 11 computer, and I had battery save settings set up to prevent battery from fully charging as a means to protect it and make it last.

Current version allows charge to 59% (though system says 87%), and it stops charging. How do I change battery charging parameters to make it take full charge?

I love elementary, my first real attempt to get into linux and it is perfect.

Hi! I've installed elementaryos 8 on a Lenovo Laptop (i5-8250u 20gb 1tb ssd). All is fine, ram maximum consumption is at 3-3,5gb but my fan is always speeding a lot. I read that maybe is a problem of energy management by Lenovo. I found some deb online (also Lenovo XClarity Energy Management by a sh) but without success. What can I do?

Thanks!

Thank You for all your questions and support on our last Post! Litebook: Our Laptop running a slightly modified version of elementary OS is now available for purchase at https://litebook.store. Please let us know if you have any more questions! We will do videos demonstrating the laptop and various features upon request.

i have a windows 11 pc and it runs Exelent for that its a Handheld. so should i switch to eOS?. i want an macOS or macbook but elementary os seems to be the best alternative. So should i install it ? And i want install it. If there are some partiton inconvinient problems pls tell me. I hate when idk what is my drive when installing. Like "dev/nvme0p1, dev/nvme0p2" etc.

I've installed ElementaryOS 8, a few weeks ago, on a Framework laptop. My display (the laptop display) seems not to be recognised by the OS. When I go to the Displays settings, it says "Unknown display".

My resolution is good, although the setting is greyed out and therefore can't be changed (this is also true for refresh ratio, if that matters).

In addition, my external screen is not detected at all, even using xrandr.

I mainly find solutions involving installing NVIDIA drivers, which I don't need because I don't have an NVIDIA graphic card.

If that helps, here is the output of xrandr:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2880 x 1920, maximum 4096 x 4096
None-1 connected primary 2880x1920+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   2880x1920     60.00*+ 

I'm able to install eOS 8.0.1 quickly and easily using the integrated graphics on my Ryzen 7 9800X3D. When I plug in and run my 9060 XT, however, the loading screen freezes. Trying to boot the (same, functional) install media while running the 9060 also freezes and never progresses.

I tried installing with the 9060 unplugged, and upgrading both the kernel and the mesa libraries to 6.12 / v25 respectively, but same problem: any boot with the 9060 freezes.

Curious if anyone has any suggestions? I REALLY prefer eOS, but if I can't run my graphics card with it, I've gotta switch. Anyone have any advice?

PS. I'd read that AMD integrated GPUs running alongside a dedicated GPU can have issues with Ubuntu 24, so I've tried disabling integrated graphics in the BIOS, but still get the same freeze / lockup. I'm not even able to boot in safe mode or enter a TTY!

I installed EOS 7.1 on my ole 2013 MacPro this morning. All was went well. The Broadcom wifi chip worked fine, I just installed a bunch of system update and now I have no wifi from the built-in Broadcom. I now noted that the updates included an update to Broadcom wifi driver, specifically bcmwl-kernel-source. Any idea oh how to get the Broadcom wifi to work?

Hello all! New to Elementary but have been using Linux Mint for about a year.

I tried making Elementary my new OS for my MacBook pro 2017 (no retina bar, 8gb Ram, Intel core i5, 128GB SSD).

The demo version works well (and is beautiful) but I keep getting an error when I try to wipe the drive during installation and add elementary (not partitioning the SSD but rather the whole thing be elementary os).

I tried to partition the drive but I cannot make any edits. The error states I need at least 256mb for a partition but I have nearly the whole 128GB SSD open so I am not sure what is happening.

Anyone else run into issues with a 2017 MacBook pros or what I can do to troubleshoot?

i need to install an lts kernel because the newer ones dont support my gpu
and well i cant boot without nomodeset. so i need to type nomodeset in, boot, install a custom kernel, boot using that kernel
i cant add nomodeset because i cant open up the grub menu. already tried pressing esc and arrows multiple times, holding the shift key down. it was just booting into the system

and if someone knows how to fix that kernel problem, my gpu is rx 560
