Just-Lighthouse64-604

#391 Post by PenguinPupLin »

After a frugal install of Just-Lighthouse64-604 using a windows installer, LICK, in one of my Windows 10 legacy BIOS PCs, my Geforce GT710 graphics card seems to be unsupported, the screen loads crippled as the built-in nouveau driver failed, and I'm forced to crtl-alt-backspace and run xorgwizard to change it to vesa.

Is there a solution for it ? I've tried downloading some nvidia graphics drivers but none seem to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi PenguinPupLin.

in grub menu,
  • menuentry "7 For problematic Nvidia cards - disable nouveau driver" {
    linux /vmlinuz blacklist=nouveau
    initrd /initrd.xz
in isolinux or menu1st, add
  • append blacklist=nouveau
df

Thanks a lot, Dry Falls, it works.

The first part was already in the grub menu and I only added "append blacklist=nouveau" to the LICKmenu.lst kernel line for nosavefile.

Just that I'm still looking for an NVidia driver that works, either pet or sfs.

Just tried copying the usual boot files over to a newly assembled computer.

I was running Frugal and now am booting from USB.

It appears that it is opening the correct Save File but BootManager is looking the wrong place for the SFS files.

Can someone remind me where I look for those pointers, please?

Note: In Seamonkey it's not recognizing the Link to the Default Profile (that worked fine on the Frugal computer)

Too many months between changes & I forget things ... nothing to do with age ... "And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!"

Hi Edoc. For frugal usb install, make sure you specify 'pmedia=usbflash' (or usbhd, as is needed) after 'append' in extlinux, syslinux or grub menu1st; after 'vmlinuz' in grub2.
If your base sfs is in a folder, you can specify 'psubdir=<name of folder>.

pfind shows file but different one at location?

#397 Post by edoc »

How is it that pfind shows a file (over 1g & Last Updated in 2016)
but when I do Show Location,
or use File Manager to look at that location,
it shows a 2011 file that is 1000kb?

The file in question is the bookmarks.html file

This represents a bizarre roadblock to transferring from one PC to another.

Thanks!
