I bought this one instead of the above one. It is $33 cheaper has no OC.
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6500 XT Eagle 4G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE 2X Cooling System, 4GB 64-bit GDDR6, GV-R65XTEAGLE-4GD Video Card
Be here Monday.
Installed new Graphics card and will not load Zorin. Called Gigabyte and they said the card will work with my MB just need correct driver.
How do you update driver when it won't load Zorin. I do get the boot menu and click on Zorin Lite I get the next screen as if it is loading and that is as far as it goes.
Any ideas anyone?
If you see the boot menu, then you can access recovery.
Select Advanced Options for Zorin and then "Recovery"
In the Recovery menu, arrow key down to Drop to Root Prompt
Hit enter
Then
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
On this line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
add the nomodeset parameter so that it looks exactly like
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
Tap ctrl+x to exit, then the y key to say yes to save, then the enter key.
Run
sudo update-grub
When finished try to boot normally and see if you can access the desktop.
After I enter Sudo update-grub and enter key, what am I to see? How do I get to a login for lite? I booted and that will take me to menu but same as before won't load Zorin Lite.
It appears the above tip did not help you.
Can you repeat the procedure to reach the Recovery Menu.
Arrow key down to enable networking.
Once enabled, back in the Grub Menu, arrow key again down to Drop to Root Prompt
enter key...
Then
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
While you are in there... let's revert the above step:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Run,
sudo update-grub
That is a fairly new card... But according to this, the drivers should be included in the Linux Kernel.
You may need a newer kernel:
GNOME will load to some degree. Have desktop with Home, have no Tool Bar, no browser EDGE, and of course everything in large size.
I am assuming we don't have to go to AMD and load the drivers from there, they should be in the correct Linux Kernel is that correct.
I had to put old Graphics card back in to be able to process orders etc. Will put new card back in after 5:00 pm.
What do you mean "let's revert the above step" and Next you say " Change to..............." How do I Change to?
Previously, we tried adding the parameter "nomodeset" to grub.
Change the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
back to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Then ctrl+x, y key, enter key...
Run sudo update-grub
After i "Run sudo update-grub" do I just reboot the computer?
You can - or you can install the kernel first, then reboot.
"Run sudo update-grub" does this install the kernel or do I do something else?
To install the TuxInvader Linux kernel
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline -y
(As of Late Jun 2022)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-generic-5.18 -y
I think I understand now. Do we do the same thing for Gnome desktop?
Talk to you late tonight if you are around. Thanks very much.
Yep, it is exactly the same for any desktop you are using.
It stil does not load up Lite. The above procedure sure did load a bunch of stuff.
And you rebooted into the 5.18 kernel once it completed the install?
Rebooting should, by default, boot into the latest kernel. You can check with the terminal command
uname -a
I don't know what it is trying to boot in. After running sudo line with 5.18 then I did warm boot and boot menu pops up and it just says Zorin. Since I don't load up Lite I can't get a terminal to insert "uname -a.
Hmmm... ok from the Recovery Menu, then Drop to Root Prompt,
can you carefully run ( I say carefully since you cannot copy/paste):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt update && sudo full-upgrade
I ran both lines. In the first script say's Cannot add PPA then it say's ERROR oibaf user or team does not exist
2nd script a bunch of Tempory failure too much to type.
Oh umm...
In Recovery Menu... arrow key down to enable networking...
Once done, then back to the Recovery Menu and arrow key down to Drop To Prompt and run the commands...
OK I have done that. on 2nd sudo it say's Full upgrade not found.
