The motherboard is an Intel D945GSEJT, with a N270 atom, 2GB ram. I did install the 32bit ISO - linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-i386.iso
I'll check everything again and try running directly from a USB flash drive and see if I get the same problem.

"Intel states the Atom supports 64-bit operation only "with a processor, chipset, BIOS" that all support Intel 64 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_64>." Do you have an older version of the Atom? -Bari On 8/19/19 4:44 PM, Frank Tkalcevic wrote: > I've spent the last couple of weeks upgrading my atom based machine from > Ubuntu 10 (github+openssl incompatibilities), but I've had lots of problems > finding a modern distro that allows me to use the latest software (eg qtvcp) > because of library dependencies. > > I tried the LinuxCNC Stretch ISO, but that didn't work - running the latency > test never displayed a window and the mouse moved at one update every 5 > seconds.
