SATA issue maybe?
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
I was thinking that before. Has the Medion SATA? Your main machine SATA?
I remember awhile ago in early upups or something you had issues with serial ATA drives. If that is the case then I would suspect a kernel issue.
Cheers.
In the Medion PC the HDD's are indeed sata drives.01micko wrote:Béèm

I started lupu-114 with pfix=ram to make sure I did not have a pupsave interfering with the xorg.conf file.
When I open it in /etc/X11, I see a line at the end that says
"#everything past here is auto-generated by Puppy's Xorg Wizard...
#PuppyHardwareProfile=NVIDIA"
Where the H is the rest that was supposed to be auto-generated?
Does this mean I have to go back and run xorgwizard to get it right or did you miss a step.
If I indeed exit to a prompt and run xorgwizard, the rest of the xorg.conf file gets generated.
But, it is loading the "nv" driver as the one for my Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE Graphics card.
Is this right?
Also, I installed the Nvidia PET for my card and it installs a Nvidia-settings that one should be able to use.
But, when run, it fails with "nvidiaX driver not loaded".
Also, in 114, glxgears is not found.
Was this your fix for the slow full screen video on Youtube?
Dumping GX and dri?
I am trying to understand all of this.
I have as of yet to get a fully functional Nvidia driver for my PC in lupu-114.
I do have the full factory driver installed in my Puppy 431 complete with the splash screen and working nvidia-settings.
EDITED
I Just went to the Nvidia home site and downloaded and ran the installer for it. I did this after making a system link for /usr/lib/libGL.so.195.36.24 in /lib.
The depmod options in the installer bombed so I did it from the terminal before restarting X.
And guess what?!!!!
I have a very functional working Nvidia driver now specific to my video card.
And best of all, You tube videos now play full screen with no slowdown at all and no flashes in the playing of them either!
I am one happy camper.
So, what have I learned?
I have learned that the driver that was automatically used for my video card in lupu-113 and lupu-114 was not specific to my card.
It was a matter of a driver that was almost right that must have caused the problem.

Man, i tried for Openshot yesterday--big dependency hell. So I do not think it is just ffplay, but I will investigate including it (ffplay). have you tried to get it from packages.ubuntu.com (you meant you tried the puppy package manage I assume). The one at packages.ubuntu.com will tell you what it needs (but not what we already have of course--but you can find that with ldd and by running the program from a terminal and seeing what it reports).I believe it is possible to have programs like Openshot run in lupu if we have a working ffplay.
i try to steer away from things with violent connotations these days so, no i haven't. anything with rapid repeated movements is out too, RSI being cumulative in my book.playdayz wrote:aarf, ever played Clanbomber?still no decent games
Clanbomber is that. it is a game though with bright colors and lots of noise. I hope it is not something that would have negative coronations in the U.K.aarf, ever played Clanbomber?

Don't know about Lucid, but normally:playdayz wrote:Attention knowledgeable Linux users. Is it possible to exit the window manager to a prompt *and* run a command from that prompt, such as
#wmexit xorgwizard
Thanks.
put mouse cursor over an open window, push the alt key and simultaneously hold down the left mouse, a cross appear where the cursor is then you can drag the window. needed to see boundaries of large windows in small screens.playdayz wrote:aarf, alt-drag. Have you explained how to get that? Or what's missing? Sorry if you have done it and I can't remember where it is. could you remind me please or direct me? Thanks.
I trust that it does but I am not only the oldest noob this forum have but I am a dummie too so I often fail to do such things.playdayz wrote:Thanks Nooby. I would have thought the Swedish keyboard could have been chosen by running xorgwizard at the prompt. I will test that in 115 late tonight or tomorrow.I had to write
setxkbmap se to get swedish keyb.
