[08:54] I have a old laptop (Fujitsu AMILO-La1703), installed Ubuntu Mate 18.04.1 LTS, and didn't detect the graphics card (only 640x480) [08:55] lspci | grep VGA [08:55] lspci | grep VGA [08:55] lspci | grep VGA [08:55] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[08:57] sudo lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3 [09:02] https://thepasteb.in/p/JZhpv7z8KrDSg [09:10] so you missing the kernel driver [09:12] I have to install it (xserver-xorg-video-openchrome) [09:12] and I have done it [09:13] and everything works? [09:15] the resolution is ok [09:15] its a bit slugish compared to the previous lts [09:16] don't know if it is the openchrome or the new lts [09:32] have I any alternative to 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[09:32] (sorry for the copy and paste unintended mess) [09:37] check your load averages and processes with top? [09:39] 11:39:35 up 1:11, 1 user, load average: 2,07, 2,41, 3,00 [09:40] firefox+pluma+welcome [09:40] +terminal [09:40] this is what is running [09:42] performous (karaoke) is sluggish [09:43] dsanfab: how old is that laptop? [09:45] AFAIK VIA technologies no longer supported with nowdays kernels [09:46] https://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/index.rhtmlx?check=1&lspci=1106:3230 [09:48] It's certainly doing some work. what laptop is it, what specs? [09:48] really old, amd turion 64x2 [09:49] CPU~Dual core AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-58 (-MCP-) speed/max~800/1900 MHz Kernel~4.15.0-32-generic x86_64 Up~1:21 Mem~825.3/1866.4MB HDD~160.0GB(5.0% used) Procs~161 Client~Shell inxi~2.3.56 [09:50] I have an old dell laptop turion 2core that runs fine on 16.04LTS not upgraded to 18.04 yet.

[10:22] Hi guys. Just installed Ubuntu 18.04.1, and selected the Encryption option. It created 2 boot partitions and I was wondering why? /boot/efi at 512MiB and /boot at 732 MiB [17:51] Halloah. I'm here about what seems to be a common bug that no one on the forums has found a concrete way to solve. The Desktop menu bar overlaps every fullscreen or maximized application, instead of placing the application below it. Anyone have any ideas how to fix it? [17:52] Waitaminute [17:53] Disregard previous question. I think there's been an update [17:53] :P
