In some case, the GL library fails. The nvidia-settings complains "Failed to query the GLX server vendor." for OpenGL/GLX Information (see the attached image).

SOLUTION:
1. Remove the links, /usr/lib/libGL.so and libGL.so.1.
2. Restart the X server.

I got slacko 5.7.0 nvidia geforce mx 440 videocard and that driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run used propper kernel and devx use getnvidia 1.0 and allways wind up with this proble, some files missing Some old nvidia drivers for kernel 3.x need patches.

i am using sfs_load-2.3.2 on PUPMODE=13 and working with no problem so far.

google-chrome-portable shold work on NTFS. Check your NTFS is healthy. I am not sure on NTFS compressed. uncompress is recommended. Check disk and defragment the partition on Windows. If the partition is not /mnt/home, but say /mnt/sda2, unmount the partition and ensure /mnt/sda2 is empty when it is...

Hello,
tar.gz = 564MB
decompressed = 1091MB
The file size is huge, is this normal?

Sorry, fixed.

TahrPup 5.8.3.rc1 saves session to a file as for FAT partitions.
You mean you failed to save the session?

#2014-09-06 v2.3: fix again save-to-directry, avoid always mounted puppy sfs partition under PUPMODE=5

Fixed sfs_load.
ydrv against tahrpup 5.8.3.rc1 includes fixed sfs_load and puppyinstaller.
Place ydrv_tahr_5.8.3.rc1.sfs at the same place where the tahrpup 5.8.3.rc1 is installed.

Thanks 666philb and gyro. No problem with unetbootin because it's OK with ' pmedia=cd ', without 'pfix=ram' option. The usb/internal storage remains mounted at boot, but can be manually unmunted. Further observation shows the storage is once unmounted at boot stage, but re-mounted after. I suspect s...

EDIT: Tested with the tahrpup-5.8.3.rc1. I have 4GB RAM with 'pmadia=usbflash pfix=ram' option. The usb remains mounted. I installed on a USB flash using the modified puppyinstaller by 666philb: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=93998&start=340 RAM size is 4GB. Tested some boot o...

Tharpup-5.8.3-rc1 has kernel 3.14.11, whereas i expected 3.14.13.

Depends on the pupsave, RAM size, and boot options... If you have enough RAM and without pupsave, maybe unmounted. As for the boot option, pfix=ram or pmedia=cd pfix=ram may be unmounted. I am not sure with next boot options: pmadia=usbflash pfix=ram pmedia=usbflash pfix=nocopy I have not yet tested...

Instead, I used kernel_sources-3.14.11-tahr_PAE.sfs to build the nvidia-glx-340.24-k3.14.13.sfs, and it was OK.
