Re: AVL-MX21 installer partition options

Makes sense. Yeah, I found this screen a little confusing, too (thought I did merely skim the information in the left panel). To clarify FWIW, I personally just specified one big-ish "root" partition on that screen (I'm using a separate disk for data/work-files), and the rest went automati...

Re: AVL-MX21 installer partition options

The partitions are a windows installation. Should I simply delete the partitions to continue? The answer depends on what you want to do. It sounds like you don't care about having Windows anymore and want to use the entire disk for AVL. What I would do (and what I did) is first boot GParted from US...

Re: AVL-MX21: AMD drivers installation?

Are AMD graphics chips/graphic cards not supported well out of the box by Linux? I'm an old geezer and can only remember Nvidia gra-ca's needing proprietary drivers on Linux in the beginning (or was that ATI which has been re-christened AMD Graphics? Hmmm, I'm getting really old!). The LinuxReviews...

Re: AVL-MX21: AMD drivers installation?

Following up, after installing AVL-MX21, I was able to get the older 2GB AMD graphics card (R5 240) to work with AVL-MX21, as evidenced by the graphical application windows no longer appearing visibly laggy when dragged around the 4K monitor. (Also, CPU use is now lower at idle, fluctuating between ...

Re: AVL-MX21: AMD drivers installation?

Replying to myself, I think it may work to just follow https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo for AMD, e.g. `sudo apt update && apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0 mesa-vulkan-drivers xserver-xorg-video-all` etc. It appears a restart is needed, so it may be necessary...

Glad to be here

Hello, all. With remote collaboration still going on, it seems almost necessary to have an AV studio of sorts in the home office. "AV Linux" is what brings me here. It seems a lot easier to use a solid platform as a starting point, for basic AV production. I find myself here because: my Ma...

AVL-MX21: AMD drivers installation?

First of all, thank you a ton to everyone contributing to AV Linux MX-21. (Back story of gratitude that can be ignored: After facing limited capabilities and high expenses of Mac hardware, and almost succumbing to accepting a possible reality of needing to run Win 10 for my peripherals (MOTU M4) to ...
