yes, I edited my reply after looking at the link.

I've heard of the repository, but it did not turn up on my searches (probably using wrong terms). When I have used the "software" button and searched for "java", nothing came up that looked like what the oracle site shows, and the oracle site gives me jar files which need to be exported. I admit...

Nope. Not embarrassed to admit that I like to play around on tinder. Now that I have upgraded to zorin 15, it is time to make sure that my playtime continues on the puter and not just on the phone. Can't get it to work, and my best educated guess (ok, search engine research) is that it takes...

yesss!!! Finally found the appearance settings which put everything back the way it should have been! First time I tried them, nothing happened. Tried them again, and suddenly my puter is its old self again!

Ouch on #3! I think mine were basic security updates (patches?), as I had recently (last week) installed zorin 15 fresh (upgraded completely from 14), went through hell with losing info, then had the hard drive die and had to get a whole new puter and a new install of zorin on it.

I had to activate the "dcrm" thing. Nothing that needed a command line, thank the gods, and things aren't exactly as they were before, but at least it is acceptable. I also changed the header to this post to reflect that.

ok, I found and fixed the problem. Wasn't anything major, just an adjustment that I had to really hunt for. Thank you everybody, and this post can be closed.

honestly, I'd rather have security risks than to keep having the system break whenever it updates...that is why I got away from windows to begin with, the constant breaking of the system with the constant updates. And I don't want to have to change the os again after all the hell I've been...

I will definitely do that next time I update. For now, I still have ti figure out what will restore my system to working properly...and then promptly refuse to ever do another update! :)

I did run this: CODE: lshw -c video and this is what I came up with: CODE: WARNING: you should run this program as super-user. *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel...

I did try the "legacy boot" option, but it did nothing.

I'll try the boot options first, although I don't usually see any when I boot up.

I just updated my zorin 15 with an automatic update. Should have known better and just left well enough as is. Now my graphics are acting badly. My best guess from what I can tell after a bit of research online is that the update didn't load completely. How can I roll back to what it was before...

Done! Thank you!

problem solved. Went to a friend who does this for a living, paid for him to deal with it. He gave me a whole new puter and installed Zorin for me. No idea what the original issue is/was.

yes, I will do that next time. I'm going to go ahead and take the puter in to a friend who runs a puter repair shop, have him look it over and see if it might be a hardware issue, then try to worry about the os. May take a few days, but will let you folks know how I eventually solve the issue.

ah. Ok, I will try tomorrow to do some research to see how that is done and hopefully not need to keep bothering folks here for spoonfeeding (I hate being a leech!). You have a great night, and thank you!

My apologies, but I am confused.

no idea what ispci is, but I just posted what came up when I ran that command.
