Honored Posters all, I need some help please!!
I have always wanted to try Linux , so...
Just installed ubuntu 23.10 desktop , kernel 6.5.0-21.
All went smooth--- except
1) Display is not full screen (has a full green border).
2) Aux line in (light blue 3.5mm jack) shows signal but no sound.
speaker test is fine, volume controls work fine.
I really like the O/S, but as a newb i am not going to go poking around
blindly.
Any help much appreciated!!
No idea bro. I haven't used Ubuntu in more than a decade.
I'd say just try different distros until you find one that suits you. Default recommendation is Linux Mint, Cinnamon edition. It's my daily driver, a LOT of people seem to like it, and it has a help chat already installed and configured to auto-connect to Linux Mint help chatroom when you try it.
Sorry. That may not seem helpful. "I have no idea how to help you with THAT, but I can tell you that you should try THIS." But it really is the best advice I can give. Linux Mint (Cinnamon) is pretty smooth.
There are of course others you can try. Bunsen Labs, Lubuntu, Puppy Linux... But I'd try Linux Mint first. If you don't like it, well... It's free, so you didn't lose anything, and you can move on to Bunsen Labs or something.
