System Specs (Desktop PC):
- Intel Core i5 4460 (IGP enabled)
- Gigabyte H97-HD3 Motherboard
- 8gb DDR3 - 1600 Kingston RAM (4GB X2)
- Sapphire Radeon R9 380X GPU
- Currently main OS is Windows 10
Distros i tried:
- Kubuntu 18.10
- Linux Mint Mate and Cinnamon 19.1
- Linux Mint KDE 18.3
- Manjaro Linux KDE 18.04
Using Sandisk 8 GB USB stick. Using lastest Rufus to prepare USB. No faults here because my laptop has no problem booting and installing from this. Currently running Kubuntu on my laptop with no issues at all.
First of all, i searched these and some other forums elsewhere in hopes to finding a solution to my problem but i caould not find.
For starters, none of these distros can boot normally (with hardware acceleration). I can only see the grub menu or boot menu, can select to boot to corresponding OS and the screen goes "no-signal mode" for normal boot attempts. I have to boot with nomodeset option. Manjaro KDE does not boot at all.
For Kubuntu distro, i can boot to the screen where it asks if i want to try or install the OS. If i select the trial i see the messages in the screen shot.
I'd like to use Kubuntu mostly, because i like KDE desktop the most.
What is the problem? Is it my Radeon GPU? Not compatible with Linux kernel? Is there any way to install and run Kubuntu with hardware acceleration?
Please ask me if you need any detail.
hardware acceleration
and see your dual boot is working fine! After confirming this you can bringhardware acceleration
into picture. Also refer this link: maketecheasier.com/…
