I am wondering has anyone had any luck installing the catalyst drivers on 13.10 and I have had some trouble in the past on 13.04 with kernel 3.10, and before I upgrade it would be nice know that everything will be in working order.

I am planning on doing a fresh install of Ubuntu and want to know what is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Driver?      There are multiple valid answers for this question spanning over several versions of Ubuntu. For your convenience an index of each below:

Does a laptop with Ryzen 3 2200u and Vega 3 work without issues with stock install of Debian 9 or Ubuntu 18.04?  I dont want to install drivers! Not to mention compile a patched kernel.  I have to choose between Core i3 6006u and Ryzen 3 2200u.  I know that Intel SoCs work out of the box on Linux. So they seem like a safe choice.  Any experiences? Does anyone of you own such a laptop?

Okay, I have an HP Envy 17 laptop that was preloaded with Windows 8.1. I ditched Windows in favour of Linux. My laptop comes with the NVIDIA Geforce 840m. I install Ubuntu 14.04, and go to the Additional Drivers tab, and my GPU is not detected. So I go to the Nvidia website, and was glad to see that they support the Geforce 840m. I followed a Youtube tutorial on how to install the Nvidia driver . All went well until the Nvidia installer said it did not detect a supported GPU. I then proceeded to install the PPA to see if that would activate my GPU. It does, and I am able to select different versions of the driver in the Additional Drivers tab. However, the moment I do anything that uses the GPU, the driver crashes. No matter what driver version I use, I get the same result. Please help, I do a lot of 3D modelling, and I don't want to go back to using Windows!!!

Has anyone installed 12.04 on the Asus EP121, and if so, what works? Of all things, the touch screen would be the most important. Has anyone had any luck with it?

I have been on quite the odyssey trying to get steam to work.   I am using Ubuntu 15.04 and the linux 4.0.5 kernel. System specs:  Intel haswell quad core CPU AMD Radeon 7870 Graphics Samsung 850 EVO SSD 16GB Memory  I was able to get steam to work in 14.04LTS, but I had other problems with that version; namely flash issues in chrome. So I updated to 15.04 and my system is more stable (except for steam, there is always something...)  I have tried removing various lib files to no effect. I have removed and installed steam a few times and it doesn't appear to be working.   I tried switching to the proprietary drivers, but that causes my system to hang when it boots. In order to fix it I completely removed and purged fglrx from my system. I attempted to reinstall the proprietary drivers via command line according the ubuntu page instructions, and ran into the same error, so I am stuck with the open source drivers.  I can only assume that my card is no longer supported by the proprietary drivers, which is frustrating.   Before I removed the proprietary drivers I got the same error as these guys:   Now that I have removed the proprietary drivers I am getting missing lib errors, which I guess is not surprising:  libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast  I am about ready to give up and am seriously considering buying an Nvidia card. If anybody has any suggestions on what else I can do, I would really appreciate it.

Currently I'm running opensuse 13.2 and I want to update it to a (ubuntu)linux with the newest kernel the 4.9.xy release as mentioned at .   Is the latest kernel 4.9.xy version available for Ubuntu?  or - Can I update this - after having installed Ubuntu without any risk of crashes? I'm updating my kernel regularly as provided by the Update Manager..  Is  there a way to install Ubuntu - and afterwards easily upgrade to the newest kernel?

I have a Windows Vista computer.  How can I check if all my hardware is supported by Windows 10?  I don't want to purchase it and then find out there are no drivers for the chipset or whatever.

Can you guys please help me use Grub Customizer to set an older version of the kernel 4.4.0 of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as default when booting? I'm not using a dual boot system, and I have installed 4.4.8 kernel to help me solve the suspend problem, but it's draining my battery.  What do I have to do, I wouldn't want to f*** things up.

Is there any tutorial to install CUDA on Ubuntu 18.04?  The instructions on the Nvidia website for 17.04 and 16.04 do not work for 18.04.  I get a message telling me to reboot then re-run the installer.  However when I do this I get that same message again.

Can someone help me with this problem ? I am new to Linux, so I do not know commands and I never did something like installing or compiling with command-line.  I bought WiFi adapter from Edimax, model EW-7811UN for my PC (not laptop, so I do not have wifi card, only ethernet). When I go through guide on CD, I came across a version of kernel. It said I need version 2.6, but I have 3.5.0-22-generic.   I got errors like I do not have file or folder etc. Can someone tell me where I can download compiled driver and where I need to put it? Or some other advice. I don't want downgrade kernel when it is not necessary.

I used the upgrade manager to upgrade from 17.04 to 17.10. When I start the machine, I only get a black flickering screen now. I was using the nvidia binary drivers before the upgrade.     NOTE: This question (and answer) relate to a specific issue when upgrading from 17.04 to 17.10 while using Nvidia or AMD binary drivers. You might experience a completely different issue. For that please see the more general question .

I have a computer which is working fine after a windows re-install.  However, I did not install any drivers at all, they seem to have been installed via Windows Update.  Back then, I remember I had to download the latest drivers from the motherboard manufacturer, video-card manufacturer, etc.  Is this still valid?  Should I download the latest drivers from the manufacturers, or are the drivers available via Windows update enough?  I am running Windows 8.1.

So I've been experimenting with Ubuntu on and off for a while, but I honestly have no idea what the hell I'm doing. So I have a realtek RTL8812bu WiFi dongle that I'm hoping to get working. I did some research, and came across  that a couple people across two threads said worked for them:  At the bottom it said there is a new version . So somewhere it said it was confirmed to work on kernels up to 4.16, so I checked and I'm on 4.15.0. But the problem I'm having, is what am I supposed to do? There is some installation guide at the bottom that is about as clear as mud to me since I don't know much.

Are there still general problems using the Ubuntu 64bit version ? I heard that most of the programs do not work out of the box?  Will I notice a significant speed-boost? Until now I have always used Ubuntu 32 bit.

I just ordered the Nvidia GTX card. I have a dilemma, though. Should I keep using the driver which is available in "additional drivers" in Ubuntu, or should I install the driver from the Nvidia site?  So which driver is the best for me?

There aren't any drivers for the video card on my computer or for SiS in Ubuntu repositories and I know that it is poorly supported or one of least supported. I also have Windows installed and on Windows the drivers are installed and available.  Can I use wine or PlayOnLinux to install those drivers from Windows so that I have the drivers installed on Ubuntu?  Is that possible?    I have Ubuntu 12.04 beta so far and Ubuntu 11.10 installed  My video card is:   01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)   From a previous question that I asked
