Re: Links to instant free music.?

If you like 60's type rock tunes, of all kinds obscure and known, absolutely free no commercials (except 60's commercials for entertainment !) -

Re: Cannot access folders & files created on my desktop [Solved]

Yup, make a new topic for each issue. As you just saw, usually an answer comes within hours, and it usually works. Yes, there are complex problems, or obscure hardware problems, but even these, the experts here in the forum usually can find the solution. The live USB session is a super tool, that yo...

Re: SOLVED I can't get a good nvidia driver or get MX 23 live to boot? [Solved]

Recall also the original problem, of not getting a proper screen resolution, meaning the edges of the display were cut off on the LG TV over hdmi. This was a long standing problem. I finally got that sorted, at least kind of. In the Display settings, the TV is incorrectly detected as an LG 72" ...

Re: I can't get a good nvidia driver or get MX 23 live to boot? [Solved]

Thanks fehlix, I thought that would work. I thank you for the exact instructions. Since I was able to get the live session working, and enjoying the music streaming, your method using the chroot rescue scan worked easily while listening to the tunes. Thanks, I always felt the live USB session was th...

Re: I can't get a good nvidia driver or get MX 23 live to boot? [Solved]

Is there anyway to do the nvidia during the install?
If I install nvidia during the live session for example?
Or add the code by editing the installed grub with a live session?

I haven't messed with this stuff lately, MX usually works so easily !
This machine has been video trouble for a while.

SOLVED Re: I can't get a good nvidia driver or get MX 23 live to boot? [Solved]

Thanks Fehlix and Okie. Okie, that's a new one to me, I will try and look for that. Fehlix,I think what you write will solve this, but I have some questions as my run level 3 fu is rusty! How do I get to that place where I change splash to no splash? Where is that line with linux where I type "...

Re: I can't get a good nvidia driver or get MX 23 live to boot? [Solved]

I was able to boot the USB to a live session with failsafe nomodesetting But when I did the install to the drive, the installed MX23.2 goes to tun level 5, then a black display with a white blinking cursor, no response from the keyboard. When I kill it with the reset button, linux shuts down, so it ...

Re: I can't get a good nvidia driver or get MX 23 live to boot? [Solved]

OK, I downloaded the latest 23.2. md5 was good, so I burned to to USB,and tried the install again. After two tries, I used failsafe nomodesetting as the boot option. That booted to the live session, so I installed, but the installed system gets to run level 5, and goes black with only a blinking cur...

Re: I can't get a good nvidia driver or get MX 23 live to boot? [Solved]

Stevo, Yes I will try the MX Nvidia installer tool, it is usually bullet proof. But, I am more worried long term, about getting the live USB to boot so I can go to MX 23 and beyond. Lots going on now, but I could make a new live USB install stick, from the latest release. Or I could try and get a di...
