ryzen 5 2400g support?

Post by LizziAS »

cinnamon gave me an error after install that graphics hardware accleleration isnt in use. Was really hoping for a mate edition but hey cinnamon is nice too.

ANyway, is the error cause by the kernel not supporting my hardware?

what can i do?

Upgrade the kernel to 4.18 and check for a BIOS update for the machine.

seems like it was not a great idea to remove the option to add ppas because to get the kernel it seems i need a ppa

sparky linux to the rescue:

Sparky unstable repository (optional):

sudo xed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky-unstable.list

and paste into the file:

deb https://sparkylinux.org/repo unstable main
deb-src https://sparkylinux.org/repo unstable main


keyring:

https://sparkylinux.org/repo/pool/main/ ... 02_all.deb


glad synaptic is still available

Why go to Sparky when Debian has a stretch-backports 4.18.6 kernel?
https://packages.debian.org/stretch-bac ... po.1-amd64

Heck, I even have my own backported 4.18.10 kernel in a Stretch repo on the OBS:
