Pimping the mini-lathe

thanks to Andy, I now have the XFCE interface reset to the default. Not sure why a Mint download ended up as Stretch with XFCE, but that doesnt matter.

I enabled Autologin according to this how to...

I need to check that bios battery again, as the bios had reset again after 2 days. I had checked it was at 3V with a multimeter before I installed it, and there should be almost no current draw on it. But now the POS is locking up again, even with the CPU magic deactivated in BIOS.

I am trying to upgrade from 2.7 from 2.8, while trying to get a feel for when the freeze occurs.

This Gigabyte Brix is driving me nuts. From yesterday to today at least the BIOS retained it's settings, but the thing keeps freezing on me, despite all the CPU magic being turne off. I have been trying to get teh buildbot upgrade to 2.8 to work for me, but it is hard when it freezes just while you are typing the new addresses.

I am starting to think about ditching the Brix for something else. Anyone have experience with an Intel NUC DN2820FYKH?

Does your DVM have a min/max memory?
Monitor the voltage from the power brick, see if you can detect any dips in voltage. Using RealTime kernels uses a bit more power so might be that.

Thanks, the bios has five options for DVMT
32M
64M
128M
256M
512M.

I have it set for 32MB at present. Would other settings be worth checking? I figured reserving the least memory for graphics would be best?

Luckily I added an extra tap on that 19V PSU for the little PWM-analog adapter, so I can hook my baby Osci in there to check the voltage.

That is not enough, set it to 256 for XCFE or 512 for Mate .
