Yeah I mean it's mostly just curiosity on my part, I'm wondering cos I haven't really had any GPU driver problems in Linux for a very long time at this point.

Interesting thought. I'll stick the card  that didn't work with OpenGL in the garage computer and see if it works there.  Not too worried as I only need one to work.

All this is done on Kubuntu 20.04.

Hmm,

I wonder if that card is faulty or something. Worth using a different distro on the old PC?

What distro are you using btw?

Following on from the discussion about my 'new' computer not liking OpenGL when I was trying to run the Cura 3D program, I tried Blender and it had exactly the same problem.

Today I went out and tried Cura on the old computer hiding in the garage, and it worked, so I swapped out the video cards between the machines and now the new computer is happy. Both cards were ASUS cards. The one that works dates from about 2009, and the one that didn't supported up to W7,, but I couldn't find a date for it.

So I am happy that is sorted.

Now if I can get the mic working. I took out the fancy sound card and plugged the speakers in to the motherboard, but the sound is very faint. I need to check the manual I think.
