What exactly is Compatibility Mode?

Post by Boyce » Mon Jun 14, 2021 3:53 am

I am trying to use Mint 17.1 64bit On a Lenovo T61. I have issues with shut down or restart not working, and hardware not working. The hardware that doesn’t work is PCMCIA slots and the internal Qualcom Atheros wireless card.

The thing is, the system seems to work perfectly if I boot from a «Live» USB and select Compatibility mode. So I’m wondering what’s actually different about compatibility mode. I am very experienced with Microsoft Windows troubleshooting, but am very very new to Linux. I know Windows has «Safe Mode» where it will only load the essential components and drivers for the OS and a basic VGA driver for video. I thought Compatibility mode was similar but it seems different, I seem to have a decent video mode, and all the drivers I need for the system to function properly. So what is Compatibility mode? Is it 64bit? It’s tempting to just leave a usb «Live» flash drive in the system all the time and always boot into it. Is there a good way to see what the system is doing differently in Compatibility mode compared to normal so I can use that info to fix normal mode? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Параметры загрузки¶

Свободные драйвера, которые по умолчанию есть в Linux Mint, не очень хорошо работают с некоторыми видеокартами и материнскими платами.

Режим совместимости¶

Самый лёгкий способ — выбрать compatibility mode в меню загрузки с USB-носителя (или DVD).

Если это не работает, попробуйте использовать параметр загрузки nomodeset .

Параметр загрузки Nomodeset¶

В режиме EFI выберите Start Linux Mint и нажмите e для изменения параметров загрузки.

Измените quiet splash на nomodeset и нажмите F10 для загрузки.

В режиме BIOS выберите Start Linux Mint и нажмите Tab для изменения параметров загрузки.

Измените quiet splash на nomodeset и нажмите Enter для загрузки.

Повторите эту операцию в загрузочном меню grub после установки и ознакомьтесь с драйверы для установки дополнительных драйверов.

Другие параметры загрузки¶

Если система так и не загрузилась, попробуйте одно из следующих решений:

• Попробуйте nouveau.noaccel=1 вместо nomodeset .
• После установки выберите «Дополнительные параметры –> Режим восстановления» в меню загрузки и выберите «восстановить».

Установить старый выпуск¶

Если ваш компьютер имеет проблемы с совместимостью с последним выпуском Linux Mint, установите предыдущий выпуск из той же серии Linux Mint.

Например, если вы не можете установить Linux Mint 18.3 (который поставляется с ядром 4.10), установите Linux Mint 18 (который поставляется с ядром 4.4) и обновите до 18.3.

Первый выпуск в каждой серии использует ядро LTS (долгосрочная поддержка). Обновление до последней версии не изменяет ядро.

Compatibility Mode — Cinnamon 20

Post by Relative » Thu Jul 02, 2020 4:20 am

Just what does it mean to ‘install in compatibility mode’ — second option on the install screen. What is different from plain first option of just install?

If the first install option doesn’t work and you have to use compatibility mode, why does Grub install with «quiet splash» instead of using any one or more of the special items used in the compatibility mode that was necessary to get Mint to install? Seems like ‘nomodeset’ is a common recommendation to individuals seeking help for failures to boot.
