A side note to the install of LL 2.6 on my Dell Latitude E6410:
After a successful install of LL I decided to try the NVIDIA video drivers offered as options under Hardware Drivers. There were four NVIDIA drivers listed, two for version 340.96 and two for version 304.131. I tried one of each and in each case got strange behaviour on startup:
- The feather boot screen was replaced by a text version "Linux Lite 2.6" with dots below it
- My desktop background was replaced by the xfce mouse one
- The window font sizes changed
- The line for "temp1" went missing in the output for the sensors command (which I use in conky)
During boot I saw error messages flash by (stuff about udev and systemd).
I changed back to the Linux Xorg driver and all returned to normal, so this is not a big problem for me, but I thought I should report it.
My E6410 has a 1440 x 900 screen and lspci gives: VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)
For what it's worth.
