Acer AX-1420 - ES20p
AMD Athlon II x3 450 Triple Core
nVidia GeForce 6150 SE
4gb DDR3 memory
This computer always has problems with graphics as it was designed for Windows 7, & nVidia has discontinued support for the graphics.
So here we go:
-Booted into the live environment. Distorted graphics, but that's OK (expected)
-After install was complete & a reboot was needed the computer froze on the reboot. ctl-alt-del didn't work, a cold boot was needed (press/hold power button)
-After reboot first thing- check & install updates. No problems.
-Next- check for additional drivers as the computer was using the nouveau driver which gave me distorted graphics.
-Choices: Either xorg-video-nouveau (which it was using) or nVidia legacy 304.135, which I chose, installed & then rebooted.
-After reboot the graphics are fine.
-Ran the 'Lite sources', no problems
-Only additional software I have added are Audacious (which I like), Aisleriot (for my freecell addiction)
-Will use Firefox for the beta, and have installed uBlock origin to it, which is disabled for Linux Lite's page.
-Last thing was to run Lite Tweaks to clean up the system.
If anything comes up, I'll let you know, but I'm not seeing any problems. Nice to have this computer working again.
