Linux drivers for Lubuntu 22.04

JustGuardian

Hi guys, I tried installing Ubuntu drivers from IT-Mania on github on my lubuntu vm to then export as .tar.gz but the installation process does not work. Has anyone the compiled drivers for Lubuntu?

Try the PopOS 22.04 drivers.
Follow the instructions on the repo.

Yeah I already tried that distro, but I want something more lightweight. That's why I wanted to install lubuntu.
But I didn't understand a thing: does it work even without installing Mesa drivers? if yes, what things I won't be able to do that I would be able to do with the drivers installed?

JustGuardian What I said was try installing PopOS drivers on your Lubuntu.

JustGuardian

Oh ok sorry for my misunderstanding. I will now try and let you know.

JustGuardian

I tried as you said. The 64bit worked fine. But when I tried installing the 32bit I got those errors:

JustGuardian For now, disregard and try the distro on PS4

JustGuardian

noob404 Should I do a fresh install of the distro again or I can zip it up like this? (With broken packages)

noob404

JustGuardian Just re-run the driver installation command on the 64-bit folder and disregard any errors. Then, pack the distro for installation.

noob404 I just finished installing it. I get a blackscreen. I tried removing the hdmi to refresh it but nothing. Idk

Not sure if it matters but, which install method did you choose? Like did you try installing using rescueshell or alternate method. I only ask cuz I've had some issues with rescue shell but never alternate method.

I will also say I'ved tried to make several ubuntu based distros for ps4 with minimal success. Most attempts boot with artifacts on the screen making it pretty unuseable, some have the black screen you described, and only once recently I got one to boot with no artifacts (with both itmania's drivers and noob404's pop os drivers) and to actually start it i have to wait for the "press enter for maintenance, press Control D to continue prompt. Then I hit enter and type startx and it will bring me to the desktop only issue is it logs me in as root user lol

I dunno if the first part will be of help, the 2nd part was me just comiserating with you 🙂

misfit-mischief I gave up lol. I tried using the rescueshell method. Now I am trying ubuntuserver btw.

lmao all debian based distro do not have package list for i386 by default you have to do dpkg --add-architecture i386 then run apt update to install i386 package list for the i386 dependency of i386 graphics drivers for ps4

3 packages including libc when you install 32 bit and 64 bit conflict because they are the same but the different architecture. install the 64 bit versions of those by going to 32 bit folder and install and then install in 64 bit drivers after

I would highly recommend using the alternate method, its much faster and has never failed me.

JustGuardian remember "sudo apt autoremove --purge ubuntu-server ubuntu-server-minimal snapd", the server tools are not needed since you are only installing ubuntu server to get desktop environment from scratch and you are removing snapd too since most kernels dont support it (except for saya) and its a pain to work with snap anyway. systemd trying to load snapd properly just adds another 2 minutes to your boot time.
