Display Properties, AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, Kernel Update
Transitioning from Win10. Installed Trisquel mini on my PC, built on AMD Ryzen 3 2200G. Won't give me change display properties from 1024x768. My monitor easily does 1920x1080.
I read somewhere that I should install the latest linux-libre kernel. Followed the instructions here: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-install-latest-linux-libre-kernel-trisquel
Everything was good until the last step: sudo apt-get install linux-libre
Got this error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:linux-libre : Depends: linux-image-4.20.11.gnu but it is not installable.
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
To be honest, I've reformatted the partition 3 or 4 times to start from scratch. Each time, same error.
I'm a Linux noob. I can follow a recipe, but I can't say I know what everything means.
Help?
You should probably follow this guide, this is what I followed and I have the latest kernel running without issues.
That is not good:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
You can try to "fix broken packages", e.g., from the "Edit" menu of the "Synaptic Package Manager" in the "Control Center".
This is a problem with my repository. Please stand by.
The master server has been updated.
The mirrors should update over the next 24 hours.
Please wait 24 hours and then try again.
If you're unable to wait you can use the master server directly with an entry like this inside /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freesh/ freesh main
But: it is generally better to use the network of mirrors instead of the single master server so as to spread out the load so if you do this, please only do it temporarily and eventually change it back to the recommended entry of this:
deb mirror://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freesh/mirrors.txt freesh main
Excellent, Jxself! Yes, evidently whatever you did to update your servers solved my problem. Thank you!
