..details below). I also haven't found any posts online in regard to Linux mint 19 being compatible on a Gigabyte Aero 15x V8. Im not sure what I did to get it to login after the black screen and wondering the installation was successful. At the present moment I only plan to use Firefox and LibreOffice. At least until I can figure out whether or not the installation isn't damaging my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Was the installation successful?
Are the ACPI errors critical or important or am I damaging my laptops hardware?..
Is there a way to downgrade nvidia drivers to utilize optimus without getting black screened at login.
I ran recommended installation (running dual-boot w/ windows 10)
Issues after installation supposedly finished:
- 1. After the package finished installing it would not reboot.
- 2. After forced reboot Couldn't log into the system ( screen would go black, only mouse would move.)
The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-driver-390 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-390 (= 390.77-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) but 390.87-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages
- 3. went into the safe mode boot option after some searching it appeared to be the open source noveau driver causing the black screen at login (i think). More searching online in regard to the error listed above and eventually came across this link, ran the 3 commands
https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/482
How to fix broken packages using the Command Line
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install gtkorphan
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude -f
- 4. searched for the Nvidia driver that came up on the error I got and then reboot. Finally the system loaded after that.
