MX Tweak Graphic adjustment from live USB to working system on SSD?
by LinWinux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KEYQ)
Good morning everyone.
I have a bit of a unique situation.
Yesterday I decided to change from one laptop to another. In order to simplify the process, something which I've done in the past by the way, I went ahead and took my MX Linux SSD out of the old laptop and installed it in the new/other laptop. The other laptop was a royal PITA to work with since it had a pressed together housing as well as three thin strand cables which had to be disconnected and reconnected again. It's a process that I'd prefer not to have to do again. I'd like to leave the laptops as they are now, without installing the drive into the older laptop again.
That said, I didn't pay attention to the fact that the older laptop was using AMD graphics while the newer one is using Intel graphics. Consequently (so I believe anyway) the boot process gets stuck. During the process there's an error indicating a graphic issue. The boot process definitely works to apx. 50 percent before getting stuck at a black screen (no errors) with a flashing cursor that can't be used for any commands. It also goes by too quickly for me to take a photo. Then I remembered that MX Linux has MX Tweak which allows you to customize the graphics that are being used, something that would enable me to switch from AMD to Intel.
So I booted up into the Live MX .iso which I have and that was no problem at all. Then I entered MX Tweak and changed the setting from AMD to Intel which was also not problem. But of course the setting wasn't saved on the working disk since I was using a live system via usb. So the question is this:
How can I implement the change from AMD graphics to Intel graphics on the working SSD once I've booted into the live usb system? If possible, please explain this step by step since I have no idea how to utilize MX Tweak via the console in order to make the changes remain set on the SSD system.
Thank you.
