Good deal! That's strange about SpaceFM...I wonder if this will help (if you haven't already tried it). Since you have OpenGL, find the compton.conf file in ~/.config

At the top of that file, you'll see the following...

backend = "xrender";
#backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
#glx-no-stencil = true;
#glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";

Put a # in front of backend = "xrender";
Remove the # from in front of backend = "glx";

So that section of the file will now look like this...

#backend = "xrender";
backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
#glx-no-stencil = true;
#glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";

Save and close the file. Then restart compton and see if that helps.

There are a couple of other glx related items that are commented out in that section of the compton file...might try those if that first change doesn't help.

Yes, it's not in the repos...

I found this...don't know if it will work or not, and it looks like you would probably have to install all of those .deb packages.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositori … 9.0/amd64/

I only asked if you had installed Linux on it before, because I was wondering if another distro had been installed successfully on the computer.

From my understanding, the recovery partition is there mainly if you want to reinstall Windows? The HP Tools...I don't know. Seems like a really small partition. I do wonder if the Recovery Partition may be what's interfering for some reason...but I'm not about to suggest for you to wipe it off the hard drive. I hate to ask you this, but if you ever run Miyo live again, open up gparted and when it shows your partitions, look to see if the Recovery Partition is flagged as boot for some reason. If so, is there a "lock" on it too? Here's a picture of my hard drive in gparted...see the yellow rectangle just in case you're not sure what I'm talking about...

Those are left over from Windows? I see no reason for doing away with them personally...but then again, I always wipe everything off the hard drive when I get a computer!

Right before everything started flying through the terminal during installation, you should have been asked a question in the terminal about reformatting sda1. Did you answer Y (for yes) or n (for no)? I always answer Y.

Still perplexed on why it's failing to install grub though...

Hi walterbyrd! Sorry for your trouble. The Live User Notes gives the password. The password is miyo. However, it's not required if you use the sudo option.

Thanks for trying MiyoLinux! Good luck!

Ron,

There's an application called glabels...g = Gnome. I just installed it (out of curiosity) using...

sudo apt-get install glabels --no-install-recommends

After installing it, I opened it up (took it a moment to open). If you click "New File", another window opens up allowing you to choose from tons of predefined label products. Avery is what appeared as the default, but there are MANY more. Now...I haven't tested it to see if it works well or not, because I don't have a printer (or any labels) with me right now. Here's the output from the installation...look it over and see if you want to try it.

dan@miyolinux:~$ sudo apt-get install glabels --no-install-recommends

That'll teach you to listen to me...'n stuff!!!

I can't answer that ma'am...I went to the trouble to install it, and when I saw how many resources it used, that was all she wrote for me. Ticked me off (after going through that trouble to install it) that it used so many resources. LOLOLOL!!!

I just mentioned it, because UnclePa was looking for secure browsers based on Chromium. Brave claims to be more secure, but whether it is or not, I can't answer...since I only used it for about 5 minutes. I look at things differently since I have such old hardware...I look first at resource usage, then I look for some semblance of security, because I don't go online much...then I go from there.

I'm a boring user with boring traits...instead of naming it MiyoLinux, I should've named it BoringLinux. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Hi UnclePa. I'm writing this from Opera (with the VPN enabled). Can I ask why Opera wouldn't work for you?

I like to use Opera periodically and have it installed on all of my computers (well...except for my 32 bit computer  ). I always install it with the GDebi Package Installer, and it has always installed without a problem for me. It also adds its repo to sources.list.d so that it gets updated with the system.

I've read that the VPN on Opera isn't really that good, but it's fine with me. It does change your ip address. It only gives you a few options of "where" you are...

1. Optimal Location
2. Americas
3. Asia
4. Europe

Here's a screenshot of my typing this message using Opera.

My pleasure!

Okay stroudmw...I may have gone overboard with what I've included. Make sure to read ALL of the instructions to see if you want (or need) everything that I included. Don't let the size of the .zip file worry you. The vast majority of that is the Papirus Icon Theme (which is coded into the default Miyo-Awesome desktop).

I've tried to be thorough in the instructions, but I'm human and may have blundered something...my way of doing things may not make as much sense to others! LOLOLOL!!!

Look over everything before you proceed. Read ALL of the instructions first to see if it makes sense to you. If you need any help, feel free to ask.

When I said that it would take 10 - 15 minutes...I was thinking of myself, because I know what I want (or need) to do with everything. If it takes you longer, I apologize.

Here's the link to the download...

Hi stroudmw. Thank you for the compliment regarding the desktop!

Regarding configuring RAID 0...

Unfortunately, there are no options (that I'm aware of) for doing this during an installation of Miyo. If I'm wrong, perhaps fsmithred (or someone else) can correct me.

I will be busy today; however, I will make a .zip file of everything I use for the Awesome desktop on Miyo later today or this evening. I'll also include instructions on where each item goes and post a link to where it can be downloaded.

I might be wrong, but I think it would only take about 10-15 minutes to get it set up on an existing installation.

I have Devuan on 4 computers...all with integrated graphics...one is a Sony Vaio 32 bit laptop with slightly less than 1 GB of RAM, and it is a 12 year old laptop. It will stream Netflix and Amazon Prime (using Firefox Quantum) satisfactorily for me...as long as that's all i'm using it for. If you have at least 4 GBs of RAM, it "should" stream very well; however, not all hardware is created equally.
