If i just try to put very high priority on Jackd2 daemon process, should i keep same very high setting for PulseAudio ?

Is there a way to set a very high priority for usb i/o (with Jackd for audio processing) in the System Monitor on LM19.3, Mate ? At the moment the only process set to very high priority is PulseAudio, everything else is normal priority. This should prioritize the cpu scheduling of the process, corre...

LM19.3, 64bit, Mate The scanner is usb flatbed Visioneer One Touch 7100. I saw somewhere that it is based on GL646 chipset, and it may need or it may be using sane-genesys - SANE backend. I have tried several scanner gui front ends such as simple scan, skanlite, xsane with same result - black horizo...

I need to remove characters | ><:?!,;' from file names in LM 17,18,19 for a given directory recursively down to subdirectories, such as for the whole /home tree. Is there an easy way to do this? I tried detox package but it will not touch pipe character, which is very problematic for me.(and for LM ...

thanks for confirmation.
indeed, version 304.137 is shown in my Drivers window, but it has been EOL (end-of-life support) for a while
noveau display driver from ppa is working OK

I attempted to install nvidia-340 and nvidia-390 drivers (my graphics card is on supported list) but they didnt work, defaulted to generic vesa After adding nvidia ppa source, I got a choice of either nvidia-304 driver or xserver-xorg-video-nouveau nvidia-304 would not install because of dependencie...

Final update: all working now nicely, including sceptre monitor for my nvidia nv43 geforce 6600gt, needed to add graphics ubuntu ppa for drivers, that gives 2 choices in drivers, nvidia-304 driver or xserver-xorg-video-nouveau although nouveau driver appears to be a bit sluggish, it is really the on...

update: i managed to get wifi working, downloaded and installed nvidia-340 and it boots like new (also partially thanks to BIOS change of Hyper Transport Multiplier from 5x down to 2.5x, which makes the mobo run more reliably, and it fixed a couple of additional minor pesky issues MS-7125 mobo had f...

I managed to get LM 19.2 Mate installed via Compatibility mode, otherwise I would get garbled desktop. I got "system was installed successfully". When attempting to restart or shutdown, the screen would break into 3 pieces, and pc would freeze. Only hard reset or pwr button would get me ou...

17 has older grub, so better to install grub too. Won't LM 19 update take care of the Grub update, or is the LM 19 actually needed for improved installation/boot process, compared to that of LM 17 ? I recall doing a few Grub updates over lifetime of LM17, and my grub is grub-efi-amd64, version: 2.0...

I read here https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/326944/when-wouldnt-you-want-to-install-grub-bootloader that in general grub is not even needed on uefi systems, i quote: On an UEFI system (most modern PCs these days) you skip all the complexity that GRUB brings. GRUB has two functions: it serve...

I have a dual boot UEFI, w10 home + LM 17.2 64b mate, trying to install LM 19.x mate 64bit During new install of LM 19.x, can i just install system root / to existing LM partition (where / is now before install), and leave existing grub bootloader where it is now, and not install grub again with new...

When installing 19.2, you should create a separate, new partition for /home, so in the future you can easily upgrade to version 20 without having to copy/move user data. That is what I should have done with earlier system(s) but at least now I know. So for next time root / should be installed on ex...

Do you have a separate partition set up for /home? No its all on one large partition lsblk says: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT fd0 2:0 1 4K 0 disk sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 929.5G 0 part / ├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part └─sda5 8:5 0 2G 0 part [SWAP] sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom sr1 11:1 1 10...

I agree in principle, of course i will at least move the data off to a safer place but i would like to try it anyway right now i have everything on one large 930GB partition, it is older BIOS, no secure boot, no uefi How do i need to setup/partition my hdd to make an attempt at it? My thinking was, ...

I would like to replace LM 18.2 with LM 19.2 in standalone HDD install. I have about 300gB of existing data on 1TB hdd that i need to preserve in the existing system. Is it possible to create a partition with these 300gb of data that would be separate from new install partition but accesible after L...

BTW - you should always provide the inxi -Fxzd report in your initial post when requesting help.

Are you sure you can do that on system that won't boot?

i wish there was a help at splash screen to do ctrl-alt-t to switch to start in compatibility mode,
which was exactly what i was looking for
live cd boot works fine now, solved for me as far as this issue goes
thanks

Problem: boot from lm 19.2 mate 32bit live dvd has garbled video after splash screen and after a few black and white info/warnings lines after splash (can see login) current working system: standalone LM 18.2 mate 32-bit(ocassionally gets stuck on the logo with progression dots, rebooting again work...

tried to go from 0.5.4 to 0.5.5 on LM18 32-bit using the deb package suggested by Pjotr and received :

" Dependency is not satisfiable: libburn4 (>=1.4. "

Checking the installed version in software manager shows installed libburn4 version of 1.4.2.pl01-1
