* Sadly the Atom D2500 + the chipset is seen as 32-bit by the 14.04 64-bit installer. * (The 16.04 32/64bit versions both do not have 3D acceleration, only 12.04 and 14.04… and at least 14.04 still gets ESR patches). * 18.04 and newer only boot to a blinking black cursor. * Regarding this “GMA500” graphics chipsets and newer distros: it seems to be “up to the distro to implement for their needs and newer kernels, as Intel does not support this chipset” * The “recipe” or whatever it is called was originally released for the 3.x kernel line. * The EMGD project that is up and running, and needs an OS distro/maintainer to implement is located at the website below * So far community efforts have gotten support for up to 18.04 * https://github.com/EMGD-Community
I’m eager to learn how to help, but not sure how I can at the moment other than donating to Ubuntu efforts, etc. Best, Eric From: nore...@launchpad.net <nore...@launchpad.net> on behalf of Dan Bungert <1960...@bugs.launchpad.net> Date: Monday, February 14, 2022 at 4:40 PM To: hilga...@gmail.com <hilga...@gmail.com> Subject: [Bug 1960776] Re: i386 installer crashes @Eric, have you tried the amd64 installer yet?

I need an older Ubuntu install for the GMA500 driver which has not been updated for newer distros sadly. (Should I open another bug for no 3D acceleration with GMA500 on 20.04 or 22.04?)
