hey Q5 Xonotic sfs is broken ... for me anyway. I downloaded it off their website myself and installed it and it runs fine.

I've noticed that my SFS Ive made over 700MB don't play nice. Also pets have an upper limit too. Could be my machine. Don't know.

Not sure where exactly the issue lies... but there is a conflict somewhere between LHP515, the Flash Pet, Meeki's Nvidia script and Opera 12.01 or Firefox 16.0.2, Arora 0.11.0

I'll work at narrowing down the problem. But Flash videos in the listed are all off hue. This isnt a problem with Chrome.

This was not an issue with LHP 514, the same flash pet, and with these same broswers.
The only difference is the LHP version and Nvidia driver version.

Meeki... as you are using LHP and Nvidia... can you confirm or deny this?

Firefox released an update. Here is an SFS of it.

Meeki... that flash pet didnt work for me. Sad

However after upgrading to the newest NVIDIA driver the problem has disappeared. So there must have been something wonky between your nvidia pet and my system that caused it to suddenly go weird.

But... you've got nvidia, you want to test this out and see if it runs smooth on your system?

I left everything in there... so Im sure it can be trimmed down in size if its confirmed that it works well.

If anyone else wants to test this feel free. However I'd recommend doing it in a clean save file so you dont nuke your system if it fails horribly.

specs:
i7-3770k
asus p8z77-v pro
intel 520 120gb ssd
16gb ram

I would love to see lighthouse boot on this machine.
No available boot options for video display worked for me
There is obviously no video driver

All other puppies boot on that machine.
Flickering vertical lines is the best I can get with lighthouse.
Trying to drop to shell no good. Confused

Are there any Pure Linux Checkers game. Or old PacMan available?

Thanks if there is.

Hi,

There is a Portable Linux Draughts/Checkers app which
works well with Precise 5.4 PAE. It's excellent.

It's 343 K - I forget where I got it from - so google.

My regards

Hey Meeki
Free geek started in Portland. Have you tried them as a source for inexpensive computer parts?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Geek

I'm lucky enough to have a "Free Geek" ethical computer recycler near me.
I used to volunteer for them and whenever I need a new box or a sound or graphics card, or any replacement part, new monitor etc. I just go by, and buy (really not expensive) and they've got lots to choose from. If it doesn't work or there's conflicts they credit you.

Second line of supply is thrift stores but it's strictly at your own risk, although some will credit you if stuff doesn't work.

Look for computer recyclers or similar in the phone book or on-line for your area.
