mikewalsh Yes. :thumbup2: A PhilB's post gave me the hint, I forgot it. Vdpau and any compositor (including nvidia's) produce media playback with microstutter and/or an occasional crash. Browsing without a compositor equals v-sync problems. Enabling v-sync in nvidia driver and playing with ...

baraka

The OP is old, but I found a solution, or better said, an explanation. I'll keep it very short. 1) Beware of the equation: vdpau + compton or picom = "very" non consistent results across all official puppies and various nvidia drivers. Simple solution, deactivate any compositor (sometimes is on by ...

bigpuppyfan Hi, it's not a xorg.conf issue or a nouveau one. In fact, the file is almost blank. (replace it with "a working" one - nothing) lsmod shows loaded modules. Not what is in use. OK, nvidia is on the list, nouveau is not. I tried both divx - same compile error. Many thx for trying ...

baraka

Should but it doesn't. This is how the process stumble: The NVIDIA driver is found, but the X-server is not currently using it. You need to restart X to enable the NVIDIA driver. The module is loaded, the screen has the correct resolution, but I can't access Nvidia settings or when I start browsing ...

dogcat I've tried all of them and much more a few months ago :D, with every official 64bit puppy, same result and I might add this is true even in Palemoon. At the time I gave up (force composition and that's it, with all the paraphernalia), but lately I found that fossa with 470.86 remove the bug ...

baraka

dogcat Yes, it was broken. Many thx, now I can eliminate getnvidia script from my quest. The new results: - with 5.4.53 kernel - compile error cc1: some warnings being treated as errors scripts/Makefile.build:265: recipe for target '/tmp/NVIDIA/kernel/nvidia/i2c_nvswitch.o' failed make[2 ...

baraka

If I try to load ANY driver already made, this is what I get in a window (same with the original bionic, in fact with any kernel and the corect driver in bionic): The NVIDIA driver is found, but the X-server is not currently using it. You need to restart X to enable the NVIDIA driver. and I can't ...

baraka

mikeslr shinobar I wonder if someone has asked himself why I didn't use getnvidia in fossa, build the driver under 5.4.53. Then switch the kernel in bionic with the 5.4.53 and, finally, load the previous obtained driver. (maybe that was the original mikeslr's question, before the second cup of ...

baraka

wizard Here you have the nvidia-glx-340.108-k5.4.53-64.pet https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fxTkrIj7GxsvA2YZPP5mMV9V7HPLXrKc/view If xorg doesn't start then 1) run "xorgwizard" and choose new (or reset) xorg file, something like that 2) run "xwin" If xorg does start but nvidia driver is not loaded ...

baraka

rockedge Thx. I knew about the site. 5.4.5 doesn't have matching source files - getnvidia says that. 4.14.71 - just finished testing it - no luck, some result - jelly effect. I'll describe the bug more precisely: - nvidia x server setting - powemizer tab - 0 1 2 levels for graphics clock (0 lowest ...

baraka

mikeslr Yes, you are wrong, sir! But I can't ignore you. Thx for your effort. Clarification: nvidia driver can be loaded only if the running kernel and compiling kernel are a match - kernel specific. Of course I know about those sites. The problem is none of the 5.4's gets along with the getnvidia ...

baraka

mikewalsh :lol: :lol: Yes, swapping kernel is a great feature, but... getnvidia script requires a kernel "made" for bionic, and yes, this is not always the case (other distros have no problem, like tahr64). Even that is not for sure true. All I know is that kernels from the kernel 5 family, in ...

baraka

I know that the OP is old but... I haven't found any working 5.4 kernel for bionicpup64. As the 5.4.5 on the huge kernel page doesn't have matching kernel sources ("rt3" version is not present); hence I can't use getnvidia to compile the nvidia driver. And if I use the 5.4.65 kernel (mentioned ...

Hello, Mike!

I tried the link form your first post and Chrome doesn't start in Tahr64.
Line 47 from the LAUNCH script should be modified to look like this:

Code: Select all

if  grep -q 'Quirky April64\|tahrpup64' /etc/DISTRO_SPECS

(the last Chrome still working in Tahr64)

baraka

@mikewalsh
Glad you like it! It works as it should.
Neah, this is kiddie stuff and both my limit. I'm sure, giving more time and attention, you'll breeze through them.
Big

baraka

mikewalsh From the LAUNCH script $HERE/UpdateChrome && exit 0 remove "&& exit 0" please, and last version file will be updated. (when chrome is fired up for the first time further down the script) and remove the entire line [[ $foo -eq 1 ]] && exit 0 if you answer "no" chrome should start. Now ...

baraka

Launcher script variant with auto-update (of course, based on mike's). #!/bin/sh # # Launcher for 'portable' Google Chrome browser # HERE="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")" LAST_RELEASE=`wget -qO- https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/linux` INSTALLED_VERSION=`cat "$HERE/PROFILE/spot/google-chrome/Last ...

baraka

mikewalsh Hi, Your updater needs improvement. You should check if the file is sane somehow. Otherwise the update script will delete your chrome and put nothing in its place. A checksum will be most appropriate, but I can't find a reference file to check against. My suggestion (waiting for a better ...

baraka

@mikewalsh

Got it.
Yes, some of the stuff from /lib are needed on my system also.

baraka

mikewalsh I've followed this link from the first post: https://mega.nz/folder/HDZElDQK#bbkJFR0QPA3q13JbEnAN6g and LAUNCH file has this piece of code: if grep -q 'tahrpup64' /etc/os-release then rm /usr/lib/libgdk-3.so.0.1000.8 cp $HERE/DATA/GDK3/Tahr/32/libgdk-3.so.0.1000.8 /usr/lib/libgdk-3.so.0 ...

@mikewalsh

Hi,
I've seen that you still used "the hack" for tahr64 in your latest release.
I think you sould not touch the system libraries. It's bad practice.

baraka

Code: Select all

wget -O discord.deb https://discord.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=deb

It's something wrong with the above method?! Or is the wrong software?

baraka

mikewalsh Thx, I'd like to be more knowledgeable, to provide a real help, unfortunately, that isn't the case. The story with LD_LIBRARY_PATH I think is related to Secure-execution mode (from ld manual) - an opinion best served with a jar of salt. In few years I'm expecting Chrome to package its own ...

baraka

mikewalsh I've tested Chrome 95 and LAUNCH_NL in Xenial64, Bionic64, Fossa64 - I found no problem. The test consisted in some youtube stuff, google maps and few random pages. As a sidenote, I'm really starting to like Fossa, but because I began this discussion with Tahr64, I can't stop now. :oops ...

baraka

mikewalsh I'm not so sure anymore how many months the bug has. I had only one other version of Chrome between 91-95 (and I throw it away). I'll repeat: Xenial64 works OOTB with LAUNCH_NL. "Falling back" to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH command it should have followed in the first place? Yes, for sure. I'm ...

baraka

mikewalsh Yes, yes, it has months. I chose Chrome 95 as a starting point, so everyone will speak about the same thing. Imho, they are minor glitches and the important thing is that old systems can run new software. If chrome works, everythig works, and I'm not half joking. I'm sorry that I can't ...

baraka

Barkingmad It's not the libs. I have a suggestion, nothing special. Do every step from LAUNCH script manually in terminal. Something peculiar should appear. If is somewhat trivial and you already done it, sorry (wait for Mike :)). LAUNCH script has to have root privileges - pls verify that. As a ...

baraka

mikewalsh Hi, I'll explain briefly what I think it happens in Tahr64, maybe it will help you. (everything is about Chrome 95) LD_LIBRARY_PATH should have priority over /usr/lib /lib etc (as a matter over everything in ld.so.cache). Fact explored by your chrome-pup script. Another fact is that gtk ...

baraka

@Barkingmad

Hi,
I followed your steps and I can't reproduce the exact error, but definitely LAUNCH script is crashing. (although, my console spat a gdk error)
Try LAUNCH_NL (on my system, I encounter no problem with it).

baraka

Yes. Every link works.

Thank you all!
