Hello. I downloaded Lubuntu 13.10 today and updated the system
completely. I'm running on a Dell Dimension 3000 desktop. I'm
encountering a problem with graphics that is not unique to Lubuntu, but
perhaps can be solved here.
I use Evolution as my groupware client. Version 3.2.3, that ships with
many distros based on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, is buggy and annoying. You
need to have a distro that runs at least Ubuntu 12.10 in order to have
the dependencies you need to run later versions of Evolution, which work
much better.
But later versions of Linux bork my graphics in both Firefox and
Chromium. When I try to play a video, say, on YouTube, the video is
squished and distorted, just maddening!
So, my quandary: I need later versions of Evolution in order to get my
work done, which require later versions of the Ubuntu software, but
these later versions seem to really bork my graphics so that I can't see
anything!
Oddly, VLC works fine. And I can copy a URL from YouTube, open it in
VLC, and it works just fine!
I'm so puzzled. If anyone can help, I'd really be grateful. Thanks.
Jeffrey:
It looks like your Dell Dimension-3000 has the same memory
specifications as my Dimension-1100:
333- and 400-MHz DDR SDRAM
and it appears that it doesn't have an AGP card-slot (same as my
Dimension-1100).
This, according to the following wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Dimension#Dell_Dimension_3xxx_and_5xxx_series
So it is possible that the PCI-card version of the NVIDIA graphics-card
_/could/_ also work in it.
