Geoffery, were you running glxgears when it crashed or were you running something else? Did you try installing the driver in a fresh savefile?
Hmmm.. I don't know what the problem could be. I compiled it on an AMD Athlon dual-core, and am wondering if it matters what cpu one compiles it on. I will do some experimenting to see if I can figure out the problem.

Thanks for putting that straight. Curious that it's not a problem with others? Any chance of a cheat code workaround? Or is there an HW fix? Newish (ie newer than Cirrus Logic!) nV cards would seem to be an issue? Think I've read similar problems previously that were eventually circumvented?

I installed Saluki 14 on a Pentium-4 about half and hour ago (no Nvidia card on this one).

The clock is an hour ahead, how to I change the time in xfce?

Unfortunately, I am still getting the following error message in Midori:

Code: Select all

MozPlugger: Error: Failed to execute m4.
Mozplugger: M4 parsing of config generated error
This error is repeatable with the following steps:
1) type midori in the console
2) in Midori's address bar, type murga linux forum and press enter
3) click on the appropriate link that takes you to the murga forum. For me, it was the 2nd link.

Installing Pemasu's mozplugger pet still doesn't resolve the issue. (thanks for trying, Pemasu)

On the positive side, Midori 0.4.4 does seem to be more stable; it hasn't crashed on me so far, and I just discovered that it handles HTML5..nice!!

I fixed a problem with the python pet. Please uninstall Python then install the new version from the PPM.

Do you get this with pfix=ram. I can't reproduce it. What happens if you run m4 in the terminal?

Yes, it happens for me in pfix=ram mode as well.
My frugals pups are installed in a linux partition, not an ntfs partition. This one is using a .2fs saved file.

When I type m4 in the terminal, I get

Code: Select all

bash: m4: command not found.
Nevermind about the clock settings..I figured out how to change the time.

I should add that when I ran the benchmark test on the following site, Saluki froze and I could not even quit using CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE..

Thanks Billtoo,

I should have mentioned that I was trying to do the browser benchmark test in Midori.

I have now deleted Saluki frugal install and created a full-install on an ext3 filesystem. The benchmark still froze, but I could eventually get out of it this time.

With the understanding that hardware plays a big part in the Peacekeeper score, and because I'm bored, SeaMonkey 2.72/Saluki 014 on the old p4.

Maybe it froze for me becuase my glxgears numbers are so low.

Code: Select all

371 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.057 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.000 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 75.000 FPS
375 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.998 FPS
I will search the repo for an xorg-high or mesa pet and try again if I find it.

Firefox 7.0.1 benchmarks fine in Saluki without additional video drivers.
I wanted to do the test in Midori becuase I wanted to compare the results with other browsers...ah well.

Tman,

Yeah, it was a fresh install, glxgears wasn't running at the time, I have compiz and cairo dock working, when it froze I was moving a compiz wobbly window and turning the power off was the only option left for me.

I'm now using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-209.10.run, I will have to try 209.20 manually installed, a friend of mine tried the pet, but his experience with it was a slower frame rate than he previously had :?,
a manual install of NVIDIA-Linux-x86-209.20.run yield a frame rate better than Ubuntu could offer while running WoW in Wine 1.4, strange.

Oh the difference when I do a install is I don't select nvidia in the xorgwizard choose, but when I installed the pet package I did, normally
I just probe select the res and xwin, this could be a factor, I'll test it some more, this time keeping a record of outcomes to compare.

Just tried Peacekeeper in Midori ...... got about halfway through before Saluki froze up. Running the Nvidia driver and fairly good numbers from glxgears.
Just for comparison purposes, just ran Peacekepper on Windows 7 and Chrome ....scored 2600.

Geoffery,

I am not sure if this is a factor or not, but I am curious; what cpu do you have? And I always choose the Nvidia driver manually, after I install the pet; Xorgwizard sometimes chooses the wrong driver.

Thanks James..I guess it's a Midori thing. Okay I'll stop complaining about Midori now, lest I incur someone's wrath.. yikes!

I tried this and get no errors at all with Midori 0.4.4, works fine, seems stable, yeah HTML5 works ok, plays webm video.

However looks like I can not add new bookmarks. Adding them only shows in the side panel but not in the menu, and after restarting midori they are gone from there too.
Is it just me?

Edit Changed the ~/.config/midori/* permissions from 644 to 664 and now it behaves. eg sticks on restart but only shows in the menus after restart Confused
It worked ok for me out of the box, bookmarks show in all the right places and stick

Ah, I bet m4 is in the devx. Got it.

mesa/xorg-high is installed by default.
