Intel Graphics problem
Posted: Fri 08 Sep 2017, 05:23
I have been looking for a portable Linux distro. I downloaded tahr64-6.0.5.iso and created a live USB stick. This worked fine in an older Lenovo so I installed onto a 16Gb USB stick, booted from this and saved my profile.
Now I tried to boot on my new Toshiba with Intel 956 Broadwell-U video. I got some video, such as the wallpaper and a blank toolbar. I could click on areas where I knew something should be and I could get empty windows. EG The logout window with a window title but no other text. I disabled the xorg.conf file and tried again but the result was no wallpaper, just a blank toolbar.
I retried the Toshiba with the original 'Live' USB and the problem was the same.
The Lenovo has 4Gb RAM with dual core processor and the Lenovo 12Gb with I3 processor.
Any suggestions? I find a portable system very handy to carry in my toolkit when doing repairs.
Apart from this, a very good distro. I am about to try the slacko version to see if it is any different.
