Unobscured Vision Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Try it. I'm on Kubuntu 16.04, no problems other than Comcast being flaky atm. That's probably my lines being flooded because of the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted August 25, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2016 OK, let me try to install this on one of my spare SSD's. And I'll try and see, hopefully, if it works. Is x/k/g Ubuntu the same, just a different DE installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted August 26, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) THANK YOU! I bow to thee. Using plain Ubuntu. (Hate Unity, but that can be changed), latest 4.4.0 kernel, 370 NVIDIA drivers. It booted up RIGHT away. No dark screen. (well, for a second or 2, but...) I have this on my spare SSD (used to be in my laptop) Thank you again for all your help! Edit: Just installed on my main SSD! All running good as above. Did I say Thank You enough?

Gone Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Look at my signature. It's very stable mostly, unless you have an ASUS laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted August 26, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted August 26, 2016 Yeah, CentOS isn't meant for great graphics. It's a server architecture, really. My friend uses it on his server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew we'd "crack the code" eventually. Now we're both on the "new shiny stuff" without the lingering issues of a botched upgrade to Mint 18 (in my case) and you being stuck with Distro-hopping because your card wasn't accepting a driver. Now, take a gander at the Tips-N-Tricks thread and have a go at one or more of the ... Tips-N-Tricks. They all still apply, ya know. I just reinstalled, so I had to do most of 'em.
