Hi, this thread is actually very welcome to me. I had 2 issues that refrained me from using OI as a regular desktop system, that was the rather old firefox, but as far as I know, Carsten Grzemba made this problem vanish, thanks for that, it was a key issue. And a lot of driver problems with older Nvidia boards, sorry we are still on old hardware here:)
> ... Firefox and Thunderbird are up to date (but you won't be too happy with older gear as firefox is now a memory hog). For the NVIDIA cards, there's a palette of old and new drivers that should cover all existing cards: driver/graphics/nvidia-340 340.108-2022.0.0.1 driver/graphics/nvidia-390 390.157-2022.0.0.0 driver/graphics/nvidia-470 470.256.2-2024.0.0.0 driver/graphics/nvidia-535 535.183.1-2024.0.0.0 You just have to use the text-installer and switch to the appropriate driver on the actual installation before booting the first time. Here we use each of those drivers ... the nvidia drivers may should get a mediator to simplify this process. -- Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.of Meteorology & Climate Research IMKASF-SAT https://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology https://www.kit.edu Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026
