Hi 01micko,

I am trying to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.19 and it tells me that it is incompatible with nouveau and it must be uninstalled before the driver can be installed. Using xorgwizard, I choose vesa, and reboot, however nouveau gets loaded again. How can I remove it and use the vesa driver so that the NVIDIA driver may be installed?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Billtoo,

Great suggestion, however, it did not work.

Blacklisted nouveau, exited to prompt, ran xorgwizard, selected vesa, and rebooted. Nouveau is still the driver, somehow, it is being automatically restored. Checked Bootmanager, and it is still blacklisted.

Incidently, I'm using your procedure that you posted on the PolarPup thread to install the nvidia driver. Worked great with Snow Puppy and PolarPup.

Thanks,
Jim

@Billtoo and Aitch,

I was finally successful, with the nvidia-installer which generated a nvidia-installer-disable=nouveau.conf file. It blacklisted nouveau and included options nouveau modeset=0. I also deleted nouveau.conf. Upon reboot, it went straight to a prompt and I was able to install the driver. Now I have a great new nvidia driver.

Thanks for your help,
Jim

I have two graphic cards on my PC. One integrated - i810 and another PCI S3 Savage-4. BIOS is switched to Savage. I choose it from list in xorgwizard. It's strange but Wary detects it automatically and in Spup I choose it from list.
In normal working state like now monitor shows 'H: 68.55 KHz, V: 84.79 Hz'. But sometimes after reboot of PC or restart of X it shows 'Out of range: H: 75.15 KHz, V : 60.10 Hz' and I have to press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and run xorgwizard to make it work.
I also attach Xorg.conf.log after wrong start of X.

I was experimenting with Salix on yet another old P3 box ( pretty good actually) and decided to try Spup 121.01 (2.6.37.6) live pfix=ram.
Everything working on initial boot,sound/internet/display, but after using personalize settings X didn't restart........went through xorgwizard and all was correct.

Tried to install from USB stick, but that does not work.
What tool should I use. Unetbootin ? Pendrive installer ? For Pendrive installer you can select puppy 4 series, puppy lucid series, but no Slackware.

Any idea ?

I've made i18n and l10n_ru packages for spup-121.02. These packages work together. i18n pet contains gettext scripts. l10n_ru pet contains Russian .mo files for scripts of i18n pet and for applications, l10n for zigbert apps, seamonkey langpack, automatic xkb setup for en,ru layout etc.
It's incompatible with Shinobar's packages for Quickset Wary. Maybe I should make it compatible to be able to use Shinobar's langpacks.

i18n: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5p5q6y (should be installed first)
l10n_ru: http://www.sendspace.com/file/adbayn

And i18n_dev - archive with pot files. It can be used for translations into other languages. But I guess it's hard work. I myself is going to make Ukrainian translation and cannot start.
i18n_dev: http://www.sendspace.com/file/e84b49

Also, I make mistakes. It works but maybe I don't see something. And where can I find source of freememapplet_tray used in Spup. It's needed for translation. It Wary pictures are different.
I cannot make l10n for transmission. Some old version is used and transmission.po doesn't work.

Yes, I'm making a senseless, and unprovoked, bump of Spup. Beyond the pale, I know, just wanted to give the next iteration of Puppy a little prod, especially when when we are all confronted with so many new and shiny things. And yes, I realize it's all for the betterment of Puppy.

Just felt sorry for Spup, sitting alone in his kennel, when he's such a damn trooper. Sorry.
