It's working nicely under OPenRGB. The Sapphire card support is basically absent so I loaded Windows onto an old SSD for it. Even in Windows, their website is flakey and their software pretty basic. Fairly good effects options but basic. So I set it to use the RGB header on the board, and...

After a mighty struggle, I set up a drive with Windows 10 to install Sapphire's "Trixx" software and in it set the GPU to look to it's addressable RGB header for colour direction. Now, it's considered by OpenRGB to be just an extension of the motherboard's lights - so I control in Linux! Woohoo...

This was too funny not to share. I've got rudimentary control of the Corsair and Asus component RGB LEDS with OpenRGB. Only seems to stay set if you leave the app open, but ok, it's something - I can live with static colours, and I'm running up a Windows VM to see what that can do for it. The...

Got the system, all assembled now, and we're off to the races. Weeee! And the kids scored my old system in a new case in the bargain. https://linux.how2shout.com/2-ways-to-install-openrgb-on-ubuntu-22-04-20-04-lts/ Getting there. OpenRGB as a starting point. It picked up the Corsair Commander...

Also, it's getting some use today! Eldest is at home sick. He's been hitting up Tux Math & Tux Typing. Funny to see this old thing getting some use. Not bad, those titles are simple enough for the Seashell. He'll explore what else it has while I'm trying to work.

I don't see that in the AntiX "Software Installer"... spent about 10min googling away for AntiX apt install atheros ar9285, no clear winners yet. Maybe it doesn't have this driver in any of the repositories it's using at the moment. Current output from inxi -Fxz doesn't indicate a WiFi card at...

Yes, that's quite true! It has Ethernet connectivity, but it's keeping itself to <1mbps for some reason. Not sure why. Sure makes downloads take a long time. Funny, did not do that on first install with the platter drive, but it does now following reinstall with the SSD. shrug Also, doesn't...

Thanks, i'll try that later. Noticed also the errant inputs vanish if any key is pressed. Suspect is the keyboard itself. Assessing the "bother" factor before spending more money on this little thing. Just got done replacing the platter drive with an SSD though, so I'm $44aud into this affair...

Sure, worth a go. But is there an app you'd suggest or a bash lookup table to help identify which one's the offender? Well, you can choose HD resolution in Youtube and it plays, sound & all. That's a little ambitious for a 1366x768 resolution 12" monitor, but it'll download content and play it...

It's clip in, with a handy access panel for memory modules. But allegedly it can't handle more than 2gb, so no real improvement options there. An SSD for $25 would be easy enough to arrange. It's unfortunately sticking dud key inputs all the time, which bootloaders represent with endless...

Posted using the Eee PC Seashell, here's a copy-paste from the terminal output. LittleBurt@Seashell:~ $ inxi -Fnxxz System: Kernel: 6.1.42-antix.1-amd64-smp arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.2.0 Desktop: IceWM v: 3.4.1 dm: slimski Distro: antiX-23_x64-full Arditi del Popolo...

I followed this suggestion and... wahey! A desktop! Doesn't that little thing look happy with itself? I'll test a few things, see that it can browse the web and draw a picture. Looks like the pipsqueaks can mess around with this after all. Thanks for the suggestion, ML_113

Well, the serial number is still (barely) legible so I ran an Asus serial number lookup. Returned: Eee PC (System) 1215P-BLK137M BCOAAS089611 Outside of Manufacturer Warranty I reckon I can hear a mechanical drive in here... and sure enough, somewhere, some optimist is trying to sell one - oh...

Morning all! While cleaning out some space I unearthed the old Asus Eee PC "Seashell series", and promptly woke it up to see if it might make something my young kids can mess around with. I intend to build them a desktop, but they'll fight over it, so an extra ensures someone isn't feeling left...

No bites? OK. Well, half of it's arrived. Kinda need the ram - still waiting. I'll let you know how this goes.

Morning all, I've ordered new hardware (most exciting!), and I'm kinda open about which distro. Have been quite happy with POP on the old PC and at this point I'll probably roll that again. PopOS with bits like Nala, VIM/VMM etc has been quite refreshing after Windows. Keeping some old bits...

Hey @KGIII , take a photo of your main garage. :lol:

I've only been visiting a couple weeks, but I'm curious. How'd Linux.org get started? When? It's a pretty obvious domain name to have. Someone was bound to take it, and probably did in the 90s - when Linux was new. This place has it. What's the story? Just passing curiosity. There's nothing...
