ok, no luck as of yet.
I currently have 2 SSDs for this laptop - one running LL 5.8 and one running 6.2.
This is all under 6.2 as 5.8 does not have the issue.
I have tried following the instructions from this page -
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-t...ossa-linux
Installing the PPA goes ok. However even after apt - Update I still don't see the drivers in the list.
Apt - list does not show them either.. though I would think they should be there?
I also tried "ubuntu-drivers devices" but that gives nothing back.
I did lshw -numeric -C display
It shows -
WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.
*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
product: G84M [GeForce 8600M GT] [10DE:407]
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation [10DE]
ect..
I did find the statement they wont support past kernel 5.4 but uname -r shows "5.15.0-50-generic"
next i will attempt a manual install...
The goal here is trying to keep a older laptop useful but it looks like LL 5.8. will be the end of the line
