Interesting result. The card that didn't work in the new computer because of
the OpenGL problems, worked just fine on the old computer. This computer had
a new installation of Kubuntu 20.04 on it, but aside from the graphics card,
was the hardware that I used to use.
These things are sent to try us, but now that both computers are working, I
shall be quiet for awhile.

Yeah I mean it's mostly just curiosity on my part, I'm wondering cos I haven't
really had any GPU driver problems in Linux for a very long time at this point.

Interesting thought. I'll stick the card that didn't work with OpenGL in the
garage computer and see if it works there. Not too worried as I only need one
to work.
All this is done on Kubuntu 20.04.

Hmm,
I wonder if that card is faulty or something. Worth using a different distro on
the old PC?
What distro are you using btw?

Following on from the discussion about my 'new' computer not liking OpenGL when
I was trying to run the Cura 3D program, I tried Blender and it had exactly the
same problem.
Today I went out and tried Cura on the old computer hiding in the garage, and
it worked, so I swapped out the video cards between the machines and now the
new computer is happy. Both cards were ASUS cards. The one that works dates
from about 2009, and the one that didn't supported up to W7,, but I couldn't
find a date for it.
So I am happy that is sorted.
Now if I can get the mic working. I took out the fancy sound card and plugged
the speakers in to the motherboard, but the sound is very faint. I need to
check the manual I think.
