| winusb woeusb woe-usb | <reply> Ubuntu does not have a recommended tool for preparing bootable Windows installation USBs. If you need one, consider using Microsoft's media creation tool from a Windows computer (see ##windows for support). If this is not an option, there are third-party unsupported tools like WoeUSB ( https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB , sudo snap install --edge woe-usb ) that might work. | Added by Jordan_U Date: 2015-08-11 22:32:49 Last edited by dax Date: 2019-05-10 17:42:35 Requested 61 times |

| amd ati fglrx amdgpu | <reply> On Ubuntu, AMD's official Linux graphics driver "amdgpu" is automatically loaded for matching hardware. Very old cards use driver "radeon" (r300, r600) instead. See the !man pages for X options, "modinfo -p <graphics-driver>" for kernel parameters. Both drivers are open source and integrate with MESA and !DRI. Drivers "amdgpu-pro", "fglrx" and "ati" are not supported here. | Added by knome Date: 2015-08-03 19:17:31 Last edited by tomreyn Date: 2022-06-17 18:21:56 Requested 160 times |
