Re: [Bug 1652713] Re: Attempted login after screenlock and it wouldn't work until rebooted

 

i have looked up the graphics card you have - its an integrated Q35 express
chipset - approx 13 or more years old!

I strongly suspect Mutter - which is the display manager - is falling back
to software rendering.  Such an old graphics chipset as you have noticed
struggles with modern desktops.  Probably better to look for a fairly cheap
nvidia card - look at the compatibility list on the nvidia 375 series
graphics driver

As long as the keyboard doesnt have lots and lots of specialised keyboard
controls - all of those should work with linux.  Hate to say it - Google is
your friend ... if others have seen these work with any linux in the last
few years you should be more confident than just buying blind!

  Hi all, first timer with Budgie Remix, I just installed it with LVM
  encryption on whole drive along with /home folder. I ran sudo update
  and sudo dist-update and walked away for about an hour to do
  something, came back and tried logging in at login screen and it
  didn't let me through to desktop.

  I entered the password for the user account correct (as it didn't give
  me an incorrect password message), hit enter or login button and it
  acted as it was going to take me to desktop but didn't, kept me at
  login screen. I tried logging in a few times after that with correct
  password and it did the same thing each time.

  It acted as if I was going to be taken into desktop, but ended up
  right back at login screen. So I just decided to reboot/restart
  computer, got to drive encryption password screen, entered the
  password, that worked. Got to login screen again, entered password
  again and then it worked.
