Greets everyone,
I went ahead and downloaded Ubuntu MATE 16.04 64bit today, and after playing around with it a bit running from the DVD, thought I'd check in about a few things...
1-When booting the DVD, a black screen briefly shows up with an error message in the upper left which ends with "No ACPI video bus found", but once loaded I don't see any display problems. I think this may be something to do with a monitor issue I've had for a long time, but was wondering if anybody else might know something about it?
2-When it's running everything appears OK so far, except when I checked the driver manager. There's an "unknown" device listed, with the following info: "Using processor microcode firmware for Intel CPU's from intel-microcode (proprietary)" but the manager also says "no proprietary drivers in use". Is this because it's running from the DVD? On my actual installed partitions (Mint 17.2 and Ubuntu 14.04) the driver managers both just say "no proprietary drivers".
I verified the ISO/DVD checksums with the methods we've discussed previously and those appear to be good. The machine has an i3 2100 and intel 2nd gen graphics if that helps...
Just wondering if anybody had any ideas...thanks in advance
