Um, sorry, can you pls remind me how to do this? i assumed that i'll need to access the grub menu during boot to then force nomodeset...? I tried the Shift key [repeatedly] as soon as i selected the USB stick to boot from, in the F12 boot menu... but grub didn't come up & it just proceeded right into the Live Maui desktop.
Aha, found how: https://superuser.com/questions/611980/e...-cd#613952
For now, i'm trying this latest Live test on Lappy [= oS TW] coz it's inconvenient to reboot Tower [= Maui] at the moment. IF your test gives a different outcome on Lappy, then obviously later i'll repeat on Tower.
--> Right, Lappy, with Live17.03USB booted in nomodeset, has awful screen resolution, & does not give me the Desktop Cube Animation option in System Settings anymore, BUT... KWin does NOT crash!
What does this mean now? Is it possible to combine this nomodeset setting but still have all my normal other settings? I mean, there's no way i could actually permanently use a pc this way for real; i need all my normal settings & resolution. However, this certainly is an interesting test result.
