Our daughter purchased a new PC for herself and gave me her old one to pass along to my wife. I have been trying to install Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Mint 17.2 MATE without any success.
I have been attempting to install LTS versions when available.
The mouse pointer does not display. The mouse is a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer USB connected to the supplied USB-PS2 adapter plugged into the PS2 port on the PC.
I also tried using a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical connected the same way. The second mouse is currently being used on an old AMD T-Bird system running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
and it works fine.
The PC from our daughter is more modern than the ancient AMD T-Bird, so I was hoping to get it going and upgrade my wife to a supported version of Ubuntu. I am stumped at this point,
so I was hoping someone would have ideas on how I get this going.
This is the PC specs:
HP Media Center PC M1160N
AMD Athlon 64 3400+
200gb Ultra DMA Hard Drive
512mb PC3200 DDR SDRAM
nVidia GeForce FX5200XT AGP with 128mb DDR Video Memory and TV-Out
I have tried both 32 and 64 bit OSes and also tried connecting the mouse via USB without success.
Any help would be appreciated.
