Does Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS have a free software only option before installation? If so, how may one access it?

Any ideas? Also, is there an analogous feature to Suspend that I may try instead?

It seems that one possible solution, which emerges from the bug report you refer me to, is to "first set a GPT partition table on the hard disk before installing Ubuntu Gnome". What do you think of...

Yes, this is the issue! :) Is there really nothing I could try? Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I'm new to GNU/Linux, so I understood nothing from your instructions. Could you please explain them to me in simpler terms?

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS with Linux Kernel 5.3. My video card is the Radeon HD 2600 PRO, no proprietary drivers are installed. After resuming from suspend, my screen acts up: it becomes grainy...

I succesfully created an Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS bootable USB stick following this tutorial.[1] I used it with two different Apple Mac computers, and on both occasions, after selecting on startup either...

So, I've tried the following two common solutions found online:

1. Open System Settings > Displays. In the Displays window, you will see an Unknown monitor. Click it and disable it.

2....

Any other ideas?

Bump.

Before enabling the software cursor, the mouse cursor behaved normally, so it seems likely that the problem is related to the switch to the software cursor.

After enabling the software cursor in order for redshift to also affect the colour temperature of my mouse cursor, which it did, my cursor is now constantly flickering and at times disappearing, as...

Yes, it did! Thank you!

Unfortunately, a new issue has arisen. My mouse cursor is now constantly flickering and at times disappearing, as well as moving on its own.

How can I fix this?

Here is all that is written in the xorg.conf file that I created:


Option "HWCursor" "off"

If you really consider the file necessary, I may upload it, though I'm not sure how; the file extension (.conf) isn't considered valid under "Manage Attachments:".

What I explained in my previous post is exactly what the file is. I used the text editor to create a new file, in which I simply added that line, saving it as xorg.conf in /etc/X11. There's nothing...

In the OP, I provided a link to the original thread describing what I did, namely "I created an xorg.conf file and placed it in /etc/X11. In the file, I added only this line: Option "HWCursor"...

Bump.

Thanks! Your instructions worked.

Any idea how I can solve my original problem, namely disabling the hardware cursor? As a reminder, redshift (the colour temperature adjustment tool) doesn't...

Apologies for doing so; it's just that the issue is quite urgent, and it didn't seem that I would get a response in my original thread.

I created a file (see https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2400260&p=13801575#post13801575), which is causing Ubuntu not to boot properly; upon startup, the screen starts tearing and remains so...

So, I created an xorg.conf file and placed it in /etc/X11. In the file, I added only this line: Option "HWCursor" "off", which, from what I've read, is what disables the hardware cursor. I restarted...

Bump.
