Thanks for the advice about PPM. I always assumed that it was a safe source, but apparently it's just an invitation to problems.

I think the main problem with 6.05 was that I could not get the nvidia driver to install. I need it for my main application, and for general eye comfort.

I'm pretty sure l is a letter and not a number. See above. In any case a number yields "command not found". I had actually switched to 6.0.6 from 6.0.5 because I was having lots of problems with the latter. Can't recall exactly what at the moment. I got the sfs files from the thread bigdog...

I tried running wine from command line. Here are some outputs. root# wine config wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\config.exe" root# wine Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program wine --help Display this help and exit wine --version Output version information a...

I ran ldconfig and it worked for almost a minute, producing one line as follows ldconfig: /usr/lib64/libEGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link Wine config still does not work. The Mint system was 64 bit on a desktop. This Puppy is replacing it after the SSD died. Tahrpup64 is installed on a SATA Hard disk....

Is there a way to check that 32 bit comp is properly installed?

I'm running 64 bit, which was the reason for upgrading to Tahr. Meanwhile I thought I had done everything Bigpup recommended, but just to be sure I reinstalled 32 bit compatibility and the nvidia driver, which resulted in a frozen machine and improper screen resolution. So I started from scratch wit...

Many thanks, Bigpup. I have used Wine for many years on installations of Mint and Precise, so am used to a fairly trouble free experience with Wine. This is the first attempt with Tahr. When uninstalling programs dependent on others, I found that each one required me to uninstall several more, so I ...

It is impossible to uninstall Wine (as well as Winetricks, etc.) from Tahrpup 64 6.06. Every file seems to depend on other files such that no attempt to uninstall works. Reason for uninstalling: Wine does not work on Tahrpup 64 6.06 (at least not the versions in the PPM and Quickpet). How to find a ...

I'm afraid I got ahead of myself. After spending most of yesterday trying unsuccessfully to install 6.05, I managed to get 6.06 up and running with the proprietary Nvidia driver. Sorry for the bother.

Can anyone offer advice on installing Nvidia driver for GT630 graphics card? There is a linux driver for the card. Built-in drivers do not handle the display (oversized). Also, some programs (Lightworks) require a proprietary driver. can the existing Nvidia driver be packaged for Tahr (6.06)? Many t...

Further development: Puppy Precise does load the Intel driver (which requieres KMS). Is it possible KMS is the source of the blockage with Tahr?

It's a portable, not a desktop. I tried installing FatDog but it does not boot. So I am going to try Mint and see how I fare with that.

I tried running Racy 5.5 which loaded with the intel driver, but the xorg.conf comments out the Device section with a note to the effect that the processor would be recognized automatically (or something to that effect). Using this Xorg.conf, I tried starting Earth, but it did not load and the mouse...

Thank you for your efforts on my behalf, but we seem to be getting nowhere. Unfortunately it appears that the screen does not support DRI2, and whatever driver is being used cannot handle any advanced graphics. Will I encounter the same problem with other versions of Puppy and even other flavours of...

It does show yes for direct rendering. However, Earth is too slow to even try to use. Conversely, on my much older HP Probook with Tahrpup Earth fires up in no time and is a breeze to use.
I tried glamor modesetting without any apparent result.

Thanks for all the help. I may look into the fatdog, but it is not vital that I be able to edit video right now, so that could wait a while. I have tried the extra file for UXA but do not notice any difference. Wizard still shows modesetting for the video.

PS. Will there be a 64 bit TahrPup?

Apparently there is no 32 bit Lightworks for Linux. But I had always assumed Puppy was 64 bit, so the mistake is mine, I guess, and there will be no editing on this laptop. Sorry for the confusion.
Meanwhile, is the accelerated Intel driver now being loaded?

I hope you can learn something from it. Thanks.

Brilliant! Skype and Dropbox now working. Lightworks still dead.
